Kind of. Let&#8217;s take a quick look at week 3 and see if something exciting is finally going to happen!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WbBYG77VeCE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Okay, now that&#8217;s more like it! Once again, the\u00a0beginning\u00a0is leaving me on the edge of my seat. <strong>Now Cortana is really losing it<\/strong>. Hopefully the Chief can pull her back to sanity.<del> If he ever wakes up that is<\/del>. I&#8217;m still not even sure if the intros are just promoting the game, or if it&#8217;s going to actually tie in to the story somehow. Oooh the suspense!! \u00a0Okay, first up, we learn that Lasky is having an allergic reaction from the Cytoprethelelene, a shot used to induce cryo-sleep. He has horrible rashes and boils everywhere and it now passing out. So I&#8217;m guessing it must be getting worse. He is presented with a ticket to leave if he so desires, but if it&#8217;s getting to a point where he is fainting, they probably shouldn&#8217;t have given him a choice. Whatever though&#8230; Anywho! It&#8217;s absolutely clear now that he is only in the UNSC because he feels it&#8217;s his duty to live up to his\u00a0family&#8217;s\u00a0name.<strong> Unfortunately<\/strong>,\u00a0we learn that the videos that obviously kept him grounded and composed, were from his now <strong>late<\/strong> older brother. With that, we finally get to bare witness to his mother&#8217;s icy demeanor.<\/p>\n<p>The quick and to the point romance scene wasn&#8217;t terrible. Not really feeling the chemistry between them, but oh well. It&#8217;s not something to focus on and the length was good enough and not overplayed. Now comes the part we were all waiting for &#8211; the battle has begun! I really wish I could say there was a bigger impact when <strong>Dimah<\/strong> ran away into the escape pod, but there wasn&#8217;t much to any secondary characters for me to feel anything.<a href=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Halo-4-Forward-Unto-Dawn-Cast-Photo-620x350.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6334\" src=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Halo-4-Forward-Unto-Dawn-Cast-Photo-620x350-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seeing the <strong>hell jumpers<\/strong> crash into the base was what gave me hope for this series. We finally get to see some real soldiers, and get that epic Halo element we&#8217;ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>Okay now, when the Elite finally comes into view, my jaw dropped and my heart started racing. The plasma sword and armor shining through the dense smoke had such a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reactiongifs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/a29d98e5.gif\">startling effect<\/a>, that this was really the first time I was drawn in. I&#8217;m not sure, I guess seeing a\u00a0Covenant\u00a0soldier out of the game in a live action setting was just too much for me to take in all at once. I absolutely<strong> loved<\/strong> how threatening it looked. Whew! deep breaths now, I don&#8217;t even know what I&#8217;m going to do when we see the chief. I guess we are just going to have to wait until the 26th to see what Microsoft and 343 Industries has in store for us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Halo-4-Forward-Unto-Dawn-Covenant-Elite1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6332\" src=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Halo-4-Forward-Unto-Dawn-Covenant-Elite1-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And this is why I don&#8217;t like getting caught completely up on shows.
