That medic chose to stay and die with their patient

This was absolutely beautiful. Not gonna lie, I thought it was going to be a silly little animation when the grunts appeared at first, but it turned out as a little glimpse of what Halo can also be and how amazing it is. Halo for me has always been a story about perspectives, and it was ironically, with all the killing and stuff, the way I learned from little without knowing how important empathy and understanding was. With as much fun as I had playing the games, I remember asking myself in CE why we were fighting the covenant. I just couldn’t understand the concept of intelligent species fighting for the sake of fighting. And then Halo 2 arrived, and showed me the covenant’s perspective, which made me even more frustrated, to think that the whole time they’ve been killing each other because of religious beliefs, and ultimately, lack of communication. We know now that it was the prophets plan all along so the covenant couldn’t learn the importance of humans, but imagine what could’ve been if they just talked 😂 Then Halo 3 came out and it made me very happy to see at least the elites in the game ally with humanity, put aside their differences and forgive their past conflicts. I would have liked to see grunts too, but that might be difficult to handle, friendly fire and all that 😅

Feels kinda sexist

Sometimes ill start up new alexandria, fly her someplace quiet and safe, and relieve some stress to her...🥵💦💨

Would.

I never realized you replace the tube I always thought it was just inserting like a clip with two rockets

this look promising. jate bor.

yk this does make sense as a crew served weapon i've never even thought abt the fact that spartans have superhuman strength and that loading two rockets in a rotary tube would be heavy and awkward.

not the combat form jumping towards the two

I needed this ty

Yeah...as far as I'm aware, for those concerned this 'humanizes' the Covenant, the Elites were never really involved in the Human-Covenant war until 2552, when the military HQ of Reach was located (the Prophets thought it was humanity's homeworld Earth). Up until then, for twenty-seven years, the UNSC had been fighting large ground forces of grunts and jackals, and the occasional hunter. Elites were only theorized to exist by Doctor Halsey, because humanity was effectively considered a joke,, easily dispatched, so the Covenant never needed to bring in their Elite forces. The Spartans must have left a significant impression on Reach, because that was practically the first time the Elites had fought them. I really don't care for the 343i canon.

I still think its funny how, instead of just reloading the rockets, you reload 90% of the gun.

I think the voice acting and animation is a bit off at times but the story is really good. I think this is one of the darkest Star Wars Short Films Ive seen. You aren't afraid to portray the Empire as the bad guys in this scenario while still reflecting how human all these troopers are as just guys doing their jobs.

In halo you are so used to being able to flip over entire tanks as a spartan. Your average guy wouldn't last long in one of those battles.

This is cool

She’s everyone and I’m not even mad about it

Ain't that song called covenant dance?

This was beautiful to watch to see elites fight their last fight knowing they won’t make it

i love to drink boba

The Elite With Active Camouflage in the background: "Damn."

they can reload my spnkr anytime (:

Me watching this : 😳 Also me (at the local Unsc Recruitment Center) : Where do I sign?

unsc psyop !!!

love me some covenant side story shit man great job.

It's a total vibe

In halo reach they were the army not the marines

this was made in sfm??? dang pretty good

awwwww, i wanted to see them get kicked by chief

Not bad

Damn man, really gonna make me root for the General against Chief, lmao. Amazing animation and story!

This however is accurate, as marines in game are somehow fit and strong enough to reload it by themselves.

True Star Wars

I'm new at SFM but this is impressive how did you make it so smooth and other animations stay in place??

Watch them waste all the rockets on JACKAL SNIPERS only to die to a jackal sniper behind them.

can you add subtitles, your accents just a tad bit hard to understand.

Yeah, shit's fukd. Get that garland dude to write the entire halo ce parts of the halo tv show

I miss the flood

Music?

Yooo this was a very engaging story and fun animation, please make more!!

Even more funny that the bg song is called "covenant dance" lol

This gives me so much inspiration :D So cute :O

I gotta say, those Reach female troopers had me feel some kinda way.

"This is it, baby. Hold me..."

I used to try and keep the marines alive in the final segment of guilty spark but i realized later it was impossible to keep the entire group alive so i just ran as fast as i could to the exfill believing that the pelican picked up the survivors without any further losses, and for some reason during the cartographer mission i was able to keep a single heavily injured marine alive by virtue of being a turret gunner on a warthog, was never able to replicate that glitch ever since... still doesnt make sense to me that they all die at the end of the mission, when only 1 spec ops elite ambushes you at the end

Something like this could have happened to the Marines in CE, or Marines and civilians in Voi when the Flood arrived in Halo 3, and even the Marines who first encountered the flood in Halo Wars.
