Elites: The lack of Field Marshall
« on: November 26, 2010, 15:13:23 »
Throughout the whole game, we see about 7-10 zealots. We see some generals. We never see a Field Marshall.
In fact, we see Generals before we see Zealots in Lone Wolf. Generals are of a higher rank. Why is it that it jumps straight to Generals?

Here's my thought: There is a Field Marshall somewhere in the campaign. We just have to find him. Maybe we have to survive long enough on Lonewolf, and 3 Field Marshalls pop out.

In the campaign, Zealots seem to be higher class then Generals. They go on all the crucial missions. To be straight, the Generals suck. They are easy to kill in the campaign.

Thunderstorm does not make Zealots Generals, and It doesn't make Generals Field Marshalls. What is the point of this rank? To tend to the elite lover fans? All they did was add different shoulders and two horns to zealot. If they are doing it just for matchmaking, they could have at least done a better job.

So whadda say? Field Marshall in campaign?

I'm pretty sure there is a Field Marshal right before the Mac Cannon part of PoA. He is the one with a Covenant Rocket Launcher (I can't remember the name! argh!) or a Sword (he takes it out some times).

"Fuel rod gun" woould be the word you're looking for. And they all pull out a sword, if they're provoked into close-combat and given the chance.

The field Marshall has two extra horns on the helmet, and the body armor is a cross between the zealot and general.

As 'asm said earlier, it has two horns, and the shoulders are different. I will look for the Field Marshall you are talking about Pulse.

Yes, I saw it. Thanks Pulse!

As it was, it seems I was mistaken. This thread serves no purpose now. Except for 'nigmas editing needs.
