Re: Cloak Theory

In Response To: Cloak Theory (zoojoo)

I think the cloak is just there to be symbolic. I don't think a few cracks are going to stop Chief's armor from keeping the sand out or working the same. It's all visual flair. If something wasn't working right, Chief would replace it. He's very practical.

I think this needs to be accepted more as a bit of symbolism for the sake of emotional storytelling than for any literal meaning. We've reached the point in Halo where our Muad'Dib has forsaken his identity and wandered out into the desert to find his new self.

Halo 4 dealt with Chief realizing he could be who he wanted to be, not who the military needed him to be. It was him accepting the lack of his humanity. Halo 5 is going to be about him finding it.
