[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x Hammer 220 -- Sure, so the HGN picture is not canon. But now, what you are really suggesting is that Robt McLees, keeper of the Halo story bible, is intentionally misleading Bungie fans through his rendition of the HGN picture. While this is not outside the realm of possibility, Bungie Studios employees have never, I repeat [i]never[/i] misled Bungie fans about the storyline of any Bungie game. But they have been known to hide hints about storyline and plot in materials that are not considered official story canon. Thus, your thoughts fall much further outside the realm of likelihood than opog's. I disagree with your posts.[/quote] And you know what, I respect that. No one said you're not entitled to your own opinon o_o But my argument still stands. There isn't enough evidence to support Johnson as a Spartan -I. All we have is conjecture and renditions - despite the plot hints inside other materials. I never claimed Bungie was intentionally misleading people. I said that the rendition of the Johnson Project ORION page wasn't credible enough, as far as story wise, to base anything off of. I wasn't suggesting anything about Robt McLees, other than the fact that he drew or interpretted the rendition as his creation in the Gallery section - which isn't canon. He never misled anyone at all, but simply rendered a creation for the enjoyment of Halo art. I know full well what Bungie is capable of and what little hints they leave (ie. the [i]Cortana Letters[/i], anyone remember those?). Foman123, if memory serves me correctly, you've been an avid opog follower for alittle over a year now. It is no surprise that you would defend this theory, like you have many others. But just because a theory is well thought out and coupled with good creativity does not make it fact. And no offense, but I've witnessed you in past debates criticize people simply for disagreeing with opog. Please my friend, don't be hypocritical. And no, my thoughts stick to the words written down on paper, rather than streaming off on creative tangents. Thus my thoughts stick closer to the realm of likelihood than you want to admit. I'm not bashing or flaming opog's theory. On the contrary, I admire the creativity he puts behind his thoughts and ideas. Him and I have had this debate before over Johnson being a Spartan -I. I simply do not agree with his conclusions. Plain and simple. Like I said before, however, we will find out more when [i]Halo: Contact Harvest[/i] is released :) [Edited on 08.02.2007 1:17 AM PDT]
