2. Support for tyranny
The UNSC Marines are portrayed as "good guys," despite the fact that they work for an organization with origins in today's United Nations, an evil worldwide dominion which interferes with the affairs of peace-loving states such as Iraq and North Korea.
|
Actually, George W Bush went to war with Iraq without UN approval.

8. Phony Physics I
The UNSC Pillar of Autumn is supposed to have a drive system capable of faster-than-light travel. Yet Einsten's theory of relativity proves that matter cannot travel faster than light.
|
Firstly, Einsteins' theory says that nothing can
accellerate to the speed of light, but it doesn't say that matter cannot travel faster than light. Secondly, the POA doesn't actually move faster than light, it simply travels faster than light - in other words, it arrives at its destination before light travelling normally from start point to finish point would arrive.
The POA drive system opens an event horizon which it hops through, like all good sci-fi spaceships do.

9. Phony Physics II
The Master Chief is somehow able to lift massive objects such as tanks. Apparently, Bungie Studios would have us believe that he is some sort of superhero or cyborg.
|
This is because he IS a cyborg.

|
10. Phony Physics III
The Master Chief is able to see the outside world through his visor, yet we cannot see his face through his visor. What does he have to hide, and, most importantly, how is this possible?
|
So you're telling us then, that you've never seen iridium lens sunglasses, space suit visors, and one way mirrors?

11. Phony Physics IV
Sir Isaac Newton showed that objects are gravitationally attracted to each other's centers of mass. The center of mass of Halo is in the center of the ring, yet the Master Chief is obviously attracted to the ring's surface when in fact he and the rest of the objects on the ring should float toward its center.
|
It's not gravity attracting things to the inside of the ring, it's centrifugal force. This technology is to be in use on a space station planned for construction in the near future, which will allow astronaughts to remain in space indefinately.

12. Phony Physics V
When the Covenant Plasma Pistol is overcharged, it releases a bolt of plasma which homes in on its target. In fact, real glowing balls of plasma are not attracted to living tissue.
|
Explain the plasma ball then. If you put your finger on the plastic, the blue glowing plasma within is attracted to your finger. Theoretically, a ball of plasma which is charged highly enough, WOULD in fact attract to human flesh or a metal object.

13. Phony Physics VI
Throughout the game, the Master Chief is able to cross "light bridges" to reach his destinations. However, real light does not support matter in this way--the Chief should fall through these "bridges" to his death.
|
Actually the light isn't what's supporting masterchief - I've read a theory which imagines the light to be photonic radiation from the reaction in the beam of the bridge.

16. Don't touch that window!
Neither the Master Chief nor his allies nor his opponents is ever injured by broken glass despite the fact that glass shards are extremely sharp and dangerous. Apparently Bungie Studios is in league with various Mexican window cartels in their downplay of the dangers of glass.
|
There is such glass. It was invented by an Englishman about 5 to 10 years ago, and is now used in high speed train and car windows around the world. It is designed to shatter harmlessly without becoming sharp when it does.

19. Homage or Theft? II
The Flood is based on the voracious corporate conglomerate AOL Time Warner.
|
The AOL Time Warner conglomerate no longer exist - they seperated after the .com crash before the release of Halo 1.
:
|
20. Homage or Theft? III
The Elites' plasma sword was stolen from LucasArts' Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.
|
The Star Wars lightsabre technology does not involve plasma.
:
|
23. Homage or Theft? VI
343 Guilty Spark's betrayal of the Master Chief was stolen from Cortana's betrayal of the Master Chief in Halo 2.
|
How can you steal something from yourself?
:
|
30. It's Magic!
Whenever the Master Chief steps on a clear object with a colored sphere inside of it, he somehow gains abilities such as an overshield and invisibility. Sorry, Bungie, but stepping on geometric shapes does not give you super powers.
|
It isn't a geometric shape, it's a pyramid containment field emitted by the active camoflage/overshield battery device, which plugs in to Master Chiefs' suit, which is stolen Covenant technology.

|
31. What's in a Name? I
The Truth and Reconciliation is an obvious racist jibe at "truth and reconciliation" committees formed to heal the scars of Apartheid in South Africa.
|
The entire Covenant battlefleet is named to aid the morale of the covenant forces by relating to holy scripture and prophecy.
:
|
33. What's in a Name? III
Halo is in fact not a halo at all but a giant hula hoop.
|
No, it is in fact, a Halo, since it Halo's a planet.
:
|
34. Shows How Much You Know
They're called aliens, not Covies!
|
No, they're called Covenant, after the Covenant three races made to work with eachother as one race.
:
|
35. Quelle Coincidence
The Grunts speak perfect English, which is highly unlikely considering the fact that they are not English at all.
|
Master Chief has a translator built in to his suit, Cortana also has one. How else do you think Cortana figured out what the Covenant were saying on their poorly protected battlenet?
:
|
39. Selective Stickiness
The plasma grenade sticks easily to a person when it is thrown at him or her, yet it never sticks to the thrower's hand.
|
This is because the plasma grenade does not activate until it leaves the throwers' hand.
:
|
47. Out of Character
The Covenant, which are supposed to be a ruthless league of alien races, also use purple vehicles, despite the fact that purple is for girls.
|
The Covenant have no concept of what is and isn't acceptable to humans, and even if they did, I doubt they would care.
50 Reasons Why Halo Sucks
And how would this 'plasma' grenade know when to activate? And if plasma is a superheated gas, would it be sticky and goo like?:fuzeconf:
