i have done some reasarch on all picture of the weeks to discover some major plot points in IM first contact

-there will be combat against shark creatures in orbital reasarch base xeno 13 and some of the scientest there are catching some virus and are killing some survivors,zombies mambye? -aliens are huge point in THE IM PLOT aperantly its were most of the story comes toghther. -SARA seems very evil at some points. -there will be marine vs human combat some point in the plot.

if you wish to under stand were im getting here please go to the all the picture ofm the week and see what i mean.

I think all of these are common knowledge. SARAH hasn't been evil, though, just doing her job, isolating danger...

i don't even want to know the story. i want to play it.

SARA may seem evil in some regards from our point of view, but she's following her programming, and for good reasons too. If 20 scientists are infected with a highly contagious disease and are in an isolated environment, what should be done?

Well, they are human and we should try to save them and find a cure. But if we do that, then more people become infected, and then the entire planet is then doomed. While it is morally questionable, in order for the prosperity of Earth to continue, those infected with the disease must not be allowed to return to the general population.

as long as i am on the same side as SARA i don't care if she is good or evil.

i think were catching on to the IM plot take it all toghther and you get the IM plot its righht infront of us we just cant ssee it

The vast majority of the plot is a mystery. We only know a small portion of it. And since this game is planned to be a trilogy, starting with First Contact, the first game might have a cliffhanger ending.

We really don't know much beyond the fact that in the early parts of the game, we'll be fighting shark creatures, and then we'll be fighting aliens.

well im making this post for the people who are doing the adventure by captin shawn so he knows some of the plot im basicly starting to get the plot well its not my best plot theory but it is plot theory

well im making this post for the people who are doing the adventure by captin shawn so he knows some of the plot im basicly starting to get the plot well its not my best plot theory but it is plot theory when i have a plot theory it means that i have gueesed the plot. for example one time i tied to figure out COD MW3 plot and i came close but sometimes im wrong like when i gueeseed bf3 plot and i got it wrong. i mean first contact has a big plot and this plot will go towaards the seconed game and the third and so on as yous see the devs are working up a big plot that we have nott a single clue about but i think im cracking the case. as for SARA i think she resembles the atogonist of portal 2 yet is like a traitor in way.

Stop that, seriously. At this point, not even Sherlock Holmes himself could figure the plot out and he propably wouldn't want to. Figuring out the plot of Modern Warfare 3 is easy for most parts, from the perspective of 2. War between US and Russia, hunt Makarov, Price is being awesome, important characters die, many explosions. IM's plot should be more complex... We know we will be a squad of elite operatives investigating different threats to ITO, then sent to another planet to make first contact with aliens. There you go, that's all we can know. Also, the people from Shawn's role play know all this. Many have been members for ages.

Honestly, I have no idea why you think SARAH should be like GlaDOS - GlaDOS is a malevolent AI mobbing Chell, SARAH is just a computer doing her job. And however compelling I find the idea of hearing Teri as a bad, bad AI again, there are no clues pointing towards it. She doesn't really have a personality as far as we know.

I'll say it again:

Give SARA a personality/love interest bent (Cortana :|) or anything of the like, and I will be seriously & forever pissed off.

Its not needed. GlaDOS is a unique character and is amazing, but she belongs in her own universe where she makes sense.

A anthropomorphic SARA AI does not make sense in the ITO universe because IM strives for immersion & realism, and I seriously doubt a human race that has harnessed quantum energy would be foolish enough to construct a massive, powerful AI that is a malevolent being.

i mean im getting some of the plot like around 30% or 25% of the plot mambye 50% i dont know the rest of the plot is a big mysterybecuase from what im getting its probably its not truly all the plot. we still have no idea what happens on the lunar or martian colonies and we barley know alot about earth other than most of the traning is there, only have knowlege over -valhela and xeno reaserch base 13. we at some points all we know about earth at this point is again most of the training is there i have seen some things relating to the moon and martian colonies in the 2006 trailer

Saying you know 20% o a game when you know it's going to be about meeting aliens for the first time and know about a few unrelated missions? Courageous there, Mr Poirot.

Also, I think a huge point of emotion for a game like IM would be the sense of isolation. Humans are by nature social creatures. We take comfort & find strength in the presence of others, even if the presence is not physical. A friendly voice over a radio is in most cases, enough to make a person gain strength and hope that did not exist moments ago.

By having SARA be a friendly/anthropomorphic AI, the player will lose that sense of isolation as they will be aware that a benevolent, ever-present, and potentially near omni-potent presence is constantly with them & watching over them. In other words, they'll have that seem feeling that I presume fills people who believe that a god is actively watching over their every moment. They will be confident that nothing wrong can come their way, they will be emboldened by having that presence with them, and they will never feel alone or have true fear.

The player needs these elements. Lets think about what made the Running Man bots so unnerving. It was their cold, lifeless calculation. They showed no fear, made no discernable speech or other communicative noises, they shrugged off bullet hits, and they made a consistent, slow, but ever-closening line toward the player. You could shoot the head off one training bot to have the bot just behind step over the dead body and continue its way straight toward you with not even a millisecond's pause.

This cold, unfeeling calculation devoid of emotion is simply something we can not understand nor relate to. This element further separates the players from the bots/AI.

However, if SARA turns out to be not what we expect simply because she is too good at what she was designed to do (I, Robot [the book, thank you very much]) then I would be completely okay with that.

im saying what if SARA turns into a wack terminator that tries to kill you.... i mean its just a thought. i mean come on its just a thought you know there is more than aliens gortos so i mean to say is that we only have a short knoledege on some of the plot. but i wonder how many enemies are there s i like 10ish or like ummmm 30 50 100 rpg style enemiies like in some rpg games were there are tons of bad things.

I guess we will see when it comes out, marine. Be patient.

My, and you wonder why I might "troll" you. Are you even reading what you're saying, or do you just have some special computer that spills your surface thoughts onto the screen while you just hit the Post button? You're acting on speculation and nothing more. Heck, a lot of the PotW's are just to give a basic feeling on what the universe they're in will feel like, not necessarily actual parts of the plot. I highly doubt that SARA will ever act directly against the player. Some of the actions she does may inadvertently cause the player issues. Beyond that, nah. It's been done way too many times. It's be far too obvious of a 'twist'. At this point in developement they may come up with new things to add to the story, or they may decide to restructure the whole plot line. They've got all the time in the world to do that.

Such is an advantage of being independent. No time limits.

trolling is not aloud in the forum again its with spelling and grammer chill seaorsly its not the end of the world

And now, for something completely different.
