So, I get that the real world reason for this is because Bungie wanted the Brutes to be the new main enemy in Halo 3, but is there a lore reason why Tartarus still decided to activate Delta Halo even though he heard what Spark said it would do?

Following the surprise Raven attack on New Eagle, the Eagle Federation has began an offensive campaign aimed at strategic Raven infrastructure. Earlier today, the Eagles launched their first attack on the strategic island Archipelago in hopes of capturing the island's harbor and disabling the Raven's local air & naval capabilities. The battle is still ongoing, with the Ravens refusing to let the island fall. That's it for Kite Neutral Network, we'll report on any updates when they come along.

Following a surprise attack by the Ravens and a desperate defense campaign by the Eagles, the city of New Eagle has fallen to the Raven Union. Any Eagle forces left in the city have been captured, and the Ravens are now overseeing the transformation of the city into a heavily fortified base. The IPC has yet to make a statement on the event. That's it for the Kite Neutral Network today, we'll report on any updates tomorrow.

GLORY

TYPE: Greater Angel

DATA:
Once the guardians of God, and later the Council, Glories now serve as the spearheads of the search for Gabriel. Despite the severity of their mission, Glories still hide their eyes when venturing into Hell in honor of the Father.

Because of their role as commanders, Glories are usually seen with a pair of Providences, who will defend it at all costs.

Like Providences, Glories are made almost entirely of pure light, and are impossible for a human to conceive. They are able to manifest more of this light as Light Energy, which they can use as a projectile against anything in their way.

STRATEGY:
- The light beam used by Glories is larger and lingers longer than that of a Virtue, and can be both vertical and horizontal, so constant movement is key.

- Vertical Light beams will set the ground beneath them on fire.

- The two Providences present will harass you while trying to take down the Glory, so it's recommended to deal with them first.

- The balls of Light Energy summoned by Glories move faster than normal Hell Energy balls, but are still able to be parried.

- The Light Energy balls will be summoned in different formations around the Glory, and will gradually launch at you.

- The head of a Glory is its weak point, but it will do it's best to hide it from you with it's wings.

- A few seconds after death, Glories will release an explosion, dealing damage to anything caught in it's radius.

For me personally, it's the Stalker. I barely even remember they exist until I replay a Greed level or they show up in Cybergrind.
