==History== | ==History== | ||
During the [[ | During the [[Installation 07 conflict]], the Banished set up numerous propaganda towers on the ring, which were operated by [[Glibnub]], an [[Unggoy]] communications officer. Glibnub constantly broadcasted taunting and demoralizing messages to the surviving UNSC personnel. These messages typically contained half-truths or outright lies (such as the Master Chief merely killed ''"four Grunts in an Escharum suit"''), and occasionally the Unggoy officer would simply air some personal grievance instead.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} | ||

[[John-117]] has the option of destroying these towers, weakening the Banished's influence in the area and earning [[valor]]. There are a total of 40 towers on the map. Destroying the first tower rewards the ''[[Please Shut Up]]'' achievement, while destroying all 40 of them rewards the player with the ''[[Off The Air]]'' achievement.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} | |||

The propaganda towers originally had no voice over, but the team thought they could use more personality.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=TwitterJoeTowers|joestaten|1469371908927807490|Joseph Staten|Y=2021|M=12|D=10|Quote=Now that #HaloInfinite is out, I can explain that this was a reference to a change we made to the Banished “communication towers.” They originally didn’t have any VO, just a cool mechanical sound, and we thought they could use a little more Grover-ish personality aka #Glibnub.}} | |||
One message states that the Banished have calculated that a human dies on Zeto Halo every eight minutes. This may have been inspired by a real radio broadcast which a Red Army propaganda station directed to the Germans on Christmas day in 1942, stating ''"every seven seconds, a German dies in Stalingrad."'' | |||
