Talk:Osiris (level)

Name

In the "You know what" video it says the mission is called Fireteam Osiris. Or am I just being dumb and it is what the section of the mission is called. Alertfiend - Team Chief 04:04, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

The latter. The first part of the level is titled "Fireteam Osiris". Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 04:17, 17 October 2015 (EDT)

Forerunner "Vessel"?

In reviewing the cutscene, what crashes from the mountainside still looks, to me, to be a building. It's fired upon by some of Jul's ships, resulting in an explosion and structure collapse. I don't see anything to suggest that it's a vessel.Ocean Soul (talk) 15:48, 18 October 2015 (EDT)

There is a delay between the explosion and the crashing, suggesting it was airborne. Alertfiend - Team Chief 19:08, 18 October 2015 (EDT)

Well, it does take some time for a structure to collapse. As it was possibly founded on the mountainside/top, there would be no place to go but down. I suppose my bigger question is, what suggests (as it's "crash/collapse" is debatable) that it is a Forerunner vessel?Ocean Soul (talk) 19:15, 18 October 2015 (EDT)

It's gray, it's got a rounded body and narrow prow resembling Phaetons, there's Sangheili ships visibly firing, and there's a Promethean-vs-Covenant conflict going on. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 19:17, 18 October 2015 (EDT)

I'm going to edit the transcript. The object in question is Forerunner, no doubt, but it does not behave like a vessel so far as we have seen. Reviewing the cutscene yet again (this time at half-speed), when struck there are explosions where the plasma rounds hit, and as Osiris descends past it, there are small explosions or fires on the inside, yet it crumbles like a building rather than a ship. The large [antennae] on top also seems quite out of place for a ship. This site has always been about accuracy and fact regarding the Halo Universe, and I don't think "it resembles a Phaeton" is enough to warrant it being listed as a vessel. I'm opting for "Forerunner object" until it is more clear what it is; be it that we see more Forerunner ships or buildings in the campaign.Ocean Soul (talk) 09:11, 19 October 2015 (EDT)

Any reason for just completely removing over half the transcript? I've reverted the edit for now, but I'd like a reason for that.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 10:46, 19 October 2015 (EDT)

The only changes that I made were

1. Fixed Tanaka's line (she says "So..." rather than "Say...")

2. Revised the nature of the Forerunner object to reflect yet-to-be-confirmed ambiguity as to whether it was a ship or a structure

3. Cleaned up general grammar and word use regarding the Forerunner object and Fireteam Osiris' descent.

I did notice while in the edit screen that there was transcript info for gameplay after the cutscene, but I did not (knowingly) remove that. I assumed that it was hidden for spoilers.Ocean Soul (talk) 12:21, 19 October 2015 (EDT)
