[OT]Theorized connection between the audio files and halo2

[chaotic_mind]

First of all, since all of the SPARTAN-II alteration messed with John's phenotype and not his genes, how can Jan get these special abilities? (And people, please don't chime in with the sterile argument and make sure you full explain the low libido argument. Sterility was never a risk, and the low libido may not even apply to any SPARTAN. It's a valid concern, but not an argument buster.)

Also, though it doesn't mean much, the guy's not John James. He's James James, though we KNOW (from Durga) that the name's fake.

Then there is the evactuation of Troy, which can place reasonably close to the .wavs. After all, it seems the COM (cantankerous old man) experiences the same comm net collapse that Kamal did. But, that connection is a bit tenuous.

Then there is the appearance of the Apocalypso, which sets people on edge. Why? Because they thought it was a Covenant ship.

As to the voice being different, I didn't hear any difference. It seemed the same in both the short trailer and the gameplay movie. But, heh, YMMV.

And the audio files AREN'T centered around Jan. Not as far as I can see. Each of the three threads, though not entirely seperate, seem each valid.

Anyway, I'll let you look over these point, and see what you come up with. I, personally, have come round to the idea that the .wavs are set during the Covenant war. Earlier, though, I had started a topic debating the possibility that the .wavs took place before the war, but it seems unlikely now.

Jan's father is James James, not John James. That's why he's called James Squared.

And I still hold that no character in ILB will be the MC.

In the e3 trailer for Halo 2, the one that takes place in the city, there are three other soldiers in the Pelican along with the MC. These soldiers are wearing different gear and seem to be more disciplined/well trained than most of the soldiers in the area. This could just be because they are part of an elite unit such as the Helljumpers, but I think it is likely that these are soldiers who have had similar enhancements to the ones that Jan apparently has. I don't think any of the specific characters, such as Jan herself, will be in Halo 2. But I wouldn't be surprised if the MC is helped by enhanced soldiers from whatever program spawned Jan.

I thought that those soldiers were Helljumpers. Maybe not though.

My bad, trout me hard.

I just thought it was odd seeing ODST and the MC working so closely together, because of how all the ODST seem to hate the SPARTAN-II program.
