  It's inevitable that, given the expanse of the human civilization on the Halo universe, some dude in a backwater planet is still playing some 20th century games in a Game Cube or something

  I can picture the sheer terror and confusion of the New Mombasa residents as they were told for years that the war was going amazing then suddenly Reach Falls and you see emergency evacuation shuttles for the entire planet and then just when you think its going to get better you look up in the morning to see explosions in the sky as parts of UNSC ships come crashing down from orbit and through the clouds a covenant cruiser just shows up.<br>Man the Halo universe is so cool, its both Utopian and Dystopian at the same time.

  Imagine how shocked civillians must have been on Reach and Earth when the covenant invaded given all the ONI propaganda they were fed about the state of the war.

  It’s kinda uncanny to think that when people think of cancer they probably think more about the constellation or the Latin word for crab than they do the disease.

  I think the ad &quot;forever we fight,&quot; does a very good job giving us a small glimpse of what civilian life was like throughout humanity&apos;s history, sheep herders, civilians huddled in wartime, rescue workers saving people, space explorers making the first jump for mankind, from soil to the stars, I hope we get more ads like it.

  I&apos;d love a game that details a Covenant attack from a civilian&apos;s perspective. I really want to see just how terrifying it really was for the average person.

  If anti-grav plating is so common as to be part of playground equipment then try to imagine how comfortable beds are, it would be amazing to float a few centimeters above the bed in complete comfort and have absolutely security during rough transits since the bed can keep you isolated from the jostling and bumping.... Damn it, I want an antigravity bed now.

  Always wondered what life was like outside the war for your average person.

  Neuralink astounds and terrifies me, because it&apos;s basically Halo sci-fi coming to real life fruition. Slowly yet steadily, it seems like we&apos;ll definitely get there.

  From this. If you take say a middle class person from say dothan Alabama and dropped them in 2542 on an outer colony. There way of life wouldn’t change all to much other the TWR stuff, and the existential dread that they are no longer in 2023 or on earth. Though if you put someone from the upper (could be from anywhere) in that same year but in it on a inner colony their way of life would drastically change, to the point I don’t think that dread the other person got would affect them at all. It’s almost comical that what we consider first world living today would be considered 3rd world in 500 years. Such is the way of progress.

  Honestly, I want a story in the Halo universe that follows someone from the outer colonies. Preferably set before the Human-Covenant war.<br><br>If i ever get the want to actually write a story again, i think i&apos;ll try to make one.
