Let&#8217;s watch and see if I get my dream of seeing a grunt or two!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K56gSEJ6IGc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well, no grunts unfortunately, but the opening scene was pretty\u00a0intriguing. Now from what I read, <strong>AI<\/strong> have a life span of about 7 years. Made with <strong>Forerunner technology<\/strong>, AI can only hold so much information that if not properly maintained or updated, will ascend \u00a0into a type of god-like mentality and will end up going mad. Now the introduction shows the\u00a0battered\u00a0ship knows as Forward unto dawn floating around with a sleeping Master chief and a very isolated Cortana, who seems to be going into early stages of \u00a0insanity. I am SO excited to see where this is going.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6309\" src=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/101212_halo_forward_unto_dawn_2_t.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now\u00a0unfortunately, that was my high point. So we learn a tiny bit more about our\u00a0protagonist\u00a0and his friend, and that they were both driven into this life purely by tragic pasts dealing with their families. We learn a bit more why they joined the UNSC which helps a little, because in the last episode it was unclear and unrealistic as to why they were there. I still have no opinions or feelings for the other cadets still though. Anyways, with his thinking out of the box strategy, Lasky manages to outsmart the opposing team while doing \u00a0capture the flag drill. He is finally about to prove he can be a soldier and hopefully will live up to the family name. Unfortunately right before he can get to his goal, he passes out. Well Hopefully it will open something new up, because watching some confused cadets be angry with the life\u00a0they&#8217;ve\u00a0chosen doesn&#8217;t impress me. I was however a little happy with the red and blue teams playing capture the flag, and seeing the radar in their visors. The game type elements really bring this episode to life for me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6310\" src=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Halo-4-Forward-Unto-Dawn-Part-One-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m hoping episode 3 will do something to turn this sob story into an epic Halo short. I do still have hope though. I guess we will see. On that note, I would like to bring back the Halo: ODST live action trailer because this\u00a0masterpiece\u00a0gives me goosebumps to this day. Gahd it&#8217;s beautiful. <strong>This<\/strong> should be a movie. Well, you enjoy that and we&#8217;ll be back for part 3.
