Talk:Human-Promethean war

Naming
Since this war took place on other locations besides Requiem, Ivanoff (Installation 03) and Earth orbit, the name of the conflict as a whole shouldn't be "on Requiem". Maybe "Human-Promethean war" or something like that. Col.  Snipes  4  50  19:12, 7 November 2012 (EST)
 * Definately a valid point. "Human-Didact conflict"? "Human-Promethean conflict 2557"? VARGR 19:18, 7 November 2012 (EST)
 * I'd call it "Human-Promethean War" with a disclaimer that the name is a descriptor and not an official name.-- 23:22, 7 November 2012 (EST)

As for the conflicts on Requiem, seeing as they are six months apart, maybe "First Battle of Requiem" and "Second Battle of Requiem". Col.  Snipes  4  50  12:33, 8 November 2012 (EST)


 * I'd agree with that. I'm not sure if the conflicts involving the Didact can be considered a fully-fledged war yet. --Cyrannian 14:51, 10 November 2012 (EST)
 * There's two more games in the Reclaimer Saga. Didact's monologue in the post-credits sequence should hint towards the events to come. It be a war, kid. :P

Naming 2
I have an idea. Since the Prometheans are hardly the only main adversaries of humanity in this conflict (for example, with the Didact out of the picture for now, leadership of the Covenant/Promethean alliance appears to have fallen to 'Mdama), perhaps a more apt name should be used. Personally, I suggest the "Reclamation war" or the "Reclamation conflict", which ties in with the theme of the Librarian's plan for humanity to reclaim the Forerunner's mantle. What do you think? --Cyrannian (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2013 (EST)


 * No, because that involves too much "fanon" imposed for a name and doesn't give much detail about the conflict. You could easily easily call the Human-Covenant War "the Reclamation war" because it was all started by humans being identified as reclaimers. So, too vague, and too fanfictiony. Therefore, no.

 * Agreed. "The Reclamation" does sound like a very cool and an apt name for this conflict, but as Tucker stated, it is fanfiction-y and implies far too much. While the UEG has finally cemented itself as the sole superpower with its victories against the Prometheans and Covenant, it has yet to deal with the ramifications of the "Mantle." As such, this conflict's current fan title is good enough.
 * Oh, in that case I see your point. Thanks for replying! --Cyrannian (talk) 09:29, 23 February 2013 (EST)
