Propaganda towers are Banished-operated communications structures that broadcast propaganda.
History
During the Installation 07 conflict, the Banished set up numerous propaganda towers on the ring, which were operated by an Unggoy communications officer. They constantly broadcasted taunting and demoralizing messages to the surviving UNSC personnel. These messages typically contained half-truths or outright lies (such as claims that the Master Chief merely killed "four Grunts in an Escharum suit"), and occasionally the Unggoy officer would simply air some personal grievance instead.
In-game information
John-117 has the option of destroying these towers, weakening the Banished's influence in the area and earning Valor.
Trivia
- The Unggoy commmunications officer is voiced by Joseph Staten.
- The Propaganda towers originally had no voice over, but the team thought they could use more personality.[1]
Appearances
- Halo Infinite (First appearance)
