The Maw: Difference between revisions

Line 360:

===Miscellaneous===

*"Maw" can have many different meanings. This level is most likely named "The Maw" after the biological term for an animal's mouth, a maw. Either that, or the biological term for the gall bladder of a fish, also called a maw. These could be reference to the fact that the place takes place inside the ''Pillar of Autumn'', just as the maw is the inside of a mouth or inside of a fish.

*Apart from the Legendary Ending, the only way you can actually see the ''Pillar of Autumn'' explode is to let the timer run down to zero. A cutscene will show it exploding.

*This is the only level where [[Elite]] [[Combat Forms]] will use [[Active Camouflage]]. They will come in from the locked door in the armory, along with several regular Combat Forms. There will sometimes also be several human Combat Forms that have Active Camouflage activated, although there is no known reason for this. Since feral Flood are non-sentient, it is unlikely that they share equipment. The Elite Combat Forms are referenced as "floodcombat elite stealth unarmed" in the code, and can be seen in HMT, and with the default tagset of the Halo Editing Kit, and states that these are likely infected Stealth Elites.
