Halo 4: Why/how is the Didact so powerful?
In Halo 4, the Didact has numerous powers; he can telekinetically lift people and objects, control an entire army of Promethean warriors with his mind, and he somehow manages to turn the orb he was imprisoned in into a movable vehicle. How did he get these powers? Was it natural for the Forerunners to have these abilities, or did the Didact gain them himself somehow?

Just a guess.[/quote] The gravity of a ring doesn't work that way. The ring has no central point not to mention it's not large enough to generate the required amount of gravitational pull.[/quote] >what is centripetal force[/quote] Guys, guys... I put water in a bucket, and then I started swinging the bucket around, and after going back and reviewing the footage, I discovered that the water was trapped in the bucket, even when the bucket was upside down.... how is this possibbbbbbbbbbbble?

the force is strong with this one....

Is this so hard to understand? Seriously guys, stop bashing 343 so much. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] carby21 His armor. The armor he uses is extremely powerful. He is the supreme commander of the entire Forerunner military and leader of the Prometheans which happen to be extremely powerful. His armor is most likely a class 18 or above. Master Chief has class 2 armor. He is also a veteran of thousands of years of war. Those extra powers are used through his armor. Forerunners themselves can't delete matter or use telekinesis.

I love how everyone is forgetting that [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kfC51bhh7Mw#t=16s]Tartarus manipulated gravity[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_265PTxBAz0#t=77s]to the same degree[/url] that Didact did and is calling it canon-breaking space magic

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SubtleSpartan [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Android Spartan [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SubtleSpartan There's only one incident of true "space magic in halo 4 and that's when chief detonates the nuke and survives. Everything else is just technology.[/quote]Actually thats not space magic, Cortana used the hardlight technology to protect the cheif. So yea that is technically possible.[/quote] You could always say that but lets be honest, it's pretty damn convenient. Probably a hundred thousand times more convenient than any of the other so called "space magic" incidents.[/quote]Cortana has been in countless forerunner installations she has bound to have picked up some useful bits of information, why else could she do what she did on the Halo's and Reqrium, for example teleporting around installation 04. Also she has great understanding of the cheifs sheilding and knowing the thumb and index finger are unsheilded for better weapon usage. So she was able to combine the sheilds and hardlight technology to protect the cheif just like she bound the Didact. Thats not space magic thats being able to use what you got, heck binding the didact pretty much shouted "Cortana can manipulate the hardlight to her will" at the player but everybody ignored it.

Pro tip: It isn't him, it is his armor. Yes, even the telekinetic ability is his armor. [Edited on 12.14.2012 7:08 AM PST]

You've read the books, haven't you? In-game the player gets a load of questions. "I thought the Covenant were friends." "A lot can change in X years." And then it's not brought up again. Personally, I think the worst-case of Space Magic is when cortana shields John from a nuke using hardlight.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AK 47625714 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SubtleSpartan Tell you guys what, name every incident of space magic in halo 4 and I'll dissaprove it.[/quote]First, disprove it using only the game as a source. No outside sources, meaning no books, and no terminals since they have to be viewed on Waypoint. Also, nothing in the game that requires you to go out of your way to find it.[/quote] I'll use the games and any relevant modern day scientific data, since you guys are all about it being grounded in reality. [quote]By new abilities you mean "ur teh chozen one chef!!"[/quote] Like luke was the only hope in star wars or Gordon freeman was the only hope in half-life. You're only complaining about it because it's cliche and yet other games with less hate have it overlooked. [Edited on 12.14.2012 5:39 AM PST]
