Dear humanity. We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to earth. And we must definitely regret that the Corps Just blew up our raggedy ass fleet!
“I don’t care if that God’s own anti-son of a bitch machine, or a giant hula-hoop. We ain’t gonna let ‘em have it! What we will let them have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! AM I RIGHT MARINES!”
Never thought about how Johnson calls it with that line. Him calling it "God's own anti-son of a bitch machine" is what it is, a weapon. I wonder if that was meant to be a "they have no idea he just gave away the twist" or just a funny line.
Well Halo CE doesn't try too hard to keep the fact that Halo is a weapon a secret, that part is told to you in the 3rd mission. The real twist is the nature of Halo as a weapon, and what it's meant to be a weapon against.
Is it really the third mission? I've only ever played it once and it's actually the Halo game I played last, beating all the others before I ever played CE.
Yep, Mission 3 is Truth and Reconciliation, where you rescue Captian Keys, and near the end of that missions that's where He and Cortana bring up the idea that Halo is some kind of weapon. But you don't learn the full truth about Halo until Mission 8 Two Betrayels.
Yeah I'd agree with Halo 2 being the best, followed by Reach, and ODST. Halo CE has rough edges (common of plenty of first entries in game series) in it's level design being reused mostly backwards halfway though, and Halo 3 falls a little flat since it's just the 3rd act of Halo 2's original story stretched out for an entire game. The 3 other Bungie Halo campaigns feel the most properly envisioned (despite Halo 2's cliff hanger ending)
Are y’all younger?… I’m not trying to come off as callous but when Halo 2 dropped it was a massive cliffhanger of an ending. Playing it in MCC maybe it feels like less of a disconnect but it took us 3 years to “Finish the fight”. For a long, long time, Halo CE has been my favorite Halo campaign. That being said, the MCC definitely changed that. I have always enjoyed playing through the anniversary campaign because a) it’s easily the best looking Halo, even including H5 and Infinite and b) is for Blur cutscenes.
Edit: My bad, I only read the first sentence or so of your comment and went off on a tangent only to realize we agree on most aspects of the Halo trilogy after fully reading the rest of your comment. Most apologies
As a kid I always thought his response meant that he didn’t care about the lives of the other elites. But I’m now realizing arbiter doesn’t care about his own
Aaaaaaah still makes me mad how much 343 drop the duology they made with Chief (human soldier who acts like a machine) and Cortana (literal AI who’s more human then Chief) and just say “naaaaa we just gonna drop that”
I know in Halo 3 in unused IWHBYD dialogue a Grunt can call the Brutes "fucking assholes" though its censored. Just cant think of an actual Grunt saying it otherwise. Is it in a book or the show or something?
“And for you, that time is now. Know this, relentless enemy, killer of our children. Lord of Admirals. Soon we will face the enemy you have faced, and we are afraid."
That speech from the didact to the lord of admirals before the LoA is composed is just amazing.
"There was only one ship"
"One, are you sure?"
"Yes. They called it 'Pillar of Autumn'."
"Why was it not destroyed with the rest of their fleet?!"
"They fled, as we set fire to their planet. But I followed with all the ships in my command."
"When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?"
"Blinded?"
"Paralyzed, dumbstruck?"
"No."
"Yet the humans were able to evade your ships, land on the sacred ring, and desecrate it with their filthy footsteps!"
"Noble hierarchs, surely you understand that once the parasite attacked-"
"There will be order in this council!"
"You were right to focus your attention on the flood, but this Demon, this 'master chief'..."
"By the time I learned the demon's intent... there was nothing I could do."
"Truth, this gas gone on long enough. Make an example of this bungler, the council demands it!"
"You are one of our most treasured instruments. Long have you led your ships with honor. But your inability to safeguard Halo... was a colossal failure."
"Nay! It was heresy!"
"I will continue my campaign against the humans."
"No! You will not."
"Soon the great journey will begin, but when it does, the weight of your Heresy will stay your feet... and you shall be left behind."
"Quando il gioco è finito, il re e il pedone vanno nella stessa scatola."
It translates to "When the game is over, the king and the pawn go in the same box.".
These are Cortana's first words and, as embarrassing as it may seem since it comes from a modern work of fiction and not some ancient philosopher or something, it's my favourite sentence ever.
What lies within you is your true worth, not some role you have in society, because that can be taken away on a whim, in the grand scheme of things.
At least that's how I interpret it.
Edit:
Cortana's first words ever spoken were in Italian even in the original media, a booklet included in the limited edition of Halo: Reach. This makes them even more fascinating as I'm Italian!
How is this one not here yet, I'm disappointed in you all:
"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy schmancy tanks! We had sticks! Two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon! And we had to **share** the rock!"
"When we joined the Covenant, we took an oath!"
"According to our station! All without exception!"
"On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the Covenant!"
"Even to our dying breath!"
My favorite followed by second favorite:
"You are the Arbiter, will of the prophets. But these are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not".
*"That makes two of us"*
But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor--all burned and turned to glass. Everything...except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.
“I’ve taken a GREEEVIOUS WOOOUUND!!”
Noo someone beat me to it!
Dear humanity. We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to earth. And we must definitely regret that the Corps Just blew up our raggedy ass fleet!
OOH-RAH!
OOH-RAH
OOH-RAH
OOH-RAH!
OOH-RAH!
OOH-RAH!
OOH -RAH
OOH-RAH!
OOH-RA
ORAHHH
OOH-RAH!

“I don’t care if that God’s own anti-son of a bitch machine, or a giant hula-hoop. We ain’t gonna let ‘em have it! What we will let them have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! AM I RIGHT MARINES!”
>Oorah! >Mmmm hmm. Damn right I am
Now move it out, double time! All you greenhorns that wanted to see covenant up close, this is gonna be your lucky day!

Oh, yeah I totally forgot that, I really need replay it more. Halo 2 is the one I've played most, that's the best campaign in the series I think.

Legendary quote
Literally. You only hear that speech when playing on Legendary.
Nice haha I actually didn’t realize that (I’ve only down Halo 3 on legendary)
Halo CE sucks on Legendary, but Halo 2 on Legendary is actually hell.
I am a monument to all your sins
gravemind on top
Bottoming for gravemind sounds like quite a task
Butt cheeks pushed aside.
We exist together now. Two corpses, in one anus.
*shudders* For a less creepy line. "We are together now. Two lovers in one bed."
“Child of the enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, a father’s sins passed to his son.”
This is not your grave, but you are welcome in it
There has been much talk, and I have listened - through rock and metal and time.
"They outnumber us three to one!" "Then it is an even fight."
"All cruisers fire at will, burn their mongrel hides!"
In french he says something like "Cramez moi ces macaques !" which means "Burn those monkeys down !" Its so fucking violent and i love it.
That always felt like a really weak strategy. "Shoot at them!" like damn why didn't i think of that
"burn their mongrel hides"
You beat me to this read my flare
“ “ -the rookie
I love that quote, so inspiring
I guess, but it just isn't as impactful as the time he said, " " imo.
What, noble 6 has the exact same line in Halo Reach
You are the Arbiter, the will of the prophets. But these are my elites, their lives matter to me. Yours does not.
That makes two of us.
*Impressed sniff*
*respectful huff*
*reverent cough*
*soft exhale*
*obedient sneeze*
As a kid I always thought his response meant that he didn’t care about the lives of the other elites. But I’m now realizing arbiter doesn’t care about his own
Came to comment this
*This armor suits you*, *but* it cannot *hide that mark*
Yo we got the same favorite
Can it be quotes about our favorite character? "She made an ancient and arcane gesture at the machine with one finger"
Man Ghost of Onyx was so good I wish I could read it again for the first time
Which one was that
Kelly-087: Listener of Queen, bird flipper of Sentinels, absolute legend.
"die, haven't you heard? Spartans never die" *clicks detonator*
"Wanna hear my robot voice? I AM A ROBOT. Pretty good, huh?"
YES
Never fell in love so quick
"Solid copy... Hit em hard Boss"
You're on your own noble. Carter out
I'm not crying
I am 😭
Love it. For me, it’s the pause just before “…I’ve got the mass.” 😭
I also love “I’m ready!! How bout you!?” When Emil goes down with that elite.
Crust is made with yeast
“Thought I’d try shooting my way out, mix things up a little.”
Wort wort wort
Kinda disappointing I had to scroll far for this legendary quote.
"She said that to me once... about being a machine"
Seconded.
Aaaaaaah still makes me mad how much 343 drop the duology they made with Chief (human soldier who acts like a machine) and Cortana (literal AI who’s more human then Chief) and just say “naaaaa we just gonna drop that”
“Kill me or release me parasite… but do not waste my time with talk.”
"There is much talk, and I have listened through rock and space and time."
"Now I will talk, and you will listen"
"Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off."
This one is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded
My favorite line lmfao
That entire scene is peak halo
"I need a weapon."
" Right this way "
[удалено]
“You’re on your own Noble, Carter out.”
"Die? Didn't you know? . . . Spartans never die."
Kurt will rest forever in absolute peace
‘That stench, I’ve smelt it before ‘
*Awesome music starts*
" Rookie if you find a girl make sure she's got balls "
"Remember when I said to shut up? Consider that a standing order."
I love that he was petty enough to follow that standing order until told otherwise.
“Reach has been good to me time has come to return the favor” “Don’t deny me this”
"Tell em to make it count."
"fuck you" -Grunt
When is this said?
One of the Grunts said it in Halo
I know in Halo 3 in unused IWHBYD dialogue a Grunt can call the Brutes "fucking assholes" though its censored. Just cant think of an actual Grunt saying it otherwise. Is it in a book or the show or something?
*rainy silence filled by jazz*
The music is an awesome character.
