Dude. It wasnt an atom bomb blast it was a unsc nova bomb which basically is about 6-19 nukes . I'm talking about the imperial admiral Edit: now that I was reminded of how big it was (yes was it detonated during first strike) and how powerful it was it was at least I'd say probably minimum amount of nukes in it was probably 24-40 .why? Because in the book it scorched half the surface of a planet and destroyed every ship in between the planet and its moon so yeah I'd say that if it was planted about 1or2 miles under the surface of reach it would most likely be able to "crack it in half" seeing as this was described as being several meters wide and several meters tall .

[@infamousdoom6831]

The math of the Nova Bomb is whack af when worked out. The nova bomb always and only has 9 nuclear warheads. Each warhead deals 52.2 megatons of force. Exploding against Lithium Triteride focuses the explosion into as close as you can get to Nuclear Laser Beam, somehow making 47,000 Megatons of Force, which is 940 of the largest nukes in our current world.

[@spacemonkeyham736]

Actually I thought of sangheili Zealots and Field Marshalls as Spartans, due to there experience and combat abilities.

[@sgtextreme4852]

Xytan wasn't exactly the largest elite as it was suggested by Eric Nylund (the writer) that his physical stature was augmented by a ceremonial head dress, platform shoes, and holographic manipulation. It's also said that in the scene he appears in, holographic magnification is used so that he appeared to be thirty meters above the crowd, and image replication was used to make his face appear in 4 directions simultaneously to the crowd. I'll rip the quote straight out the book. 'In the center of the oration chamber aboard the super-carrier Sublime Transcendence, Xytan's image was holographi-cally magnified so he towered thirty meters before them, and image replications made his face present in four directions simultaneously to the crowd.' I'm just saying, his massive height seems unlikely and the evidence supports the theory that his physical attributes were altered during his appearance. I wouldn't say it's impossible he's that large though, but he'd probably have some kind of growth disease like a lot of our abnormally tall humans do. So, more than likely improbable as any Sangheili with such deformities would more than likely end up discarded. So, a small chance. And even if he is this large, he definitely is not as physically capable as most Sangheili. Also, he was ATOMIZED by the NOVA bomb which destroyed two thirds of his fleet and destroyed one of Joyous Exultation's moons. He is 100% gone.

[@sgtextreme4852]

Oh, I wouldn't doubt that he's a larger elite as tallness generally comes hand in hand with good genetics, which would also be responsible for his intelligence and his adeptness at naval warfare.

I think it was one of the old game manuals that said a spartan was basically the equivalent to a red elite. I liked that, it helped solidify just how desperate the war was. Those guys were everywhere, meanwhile we had 30-something Spartans total and just lost our second most important planet. The war felt unwinnable, which heightened the tensions in the game all the further. Splitting the elites from the covenant was now a huge moment because this race of basically Spartans was now on our side, and eventually we barely win together.

What I want to happen during Halo Infinite. Chief manages to find Cortana at the end of a massive battle between the UNSC Marines and Cortana's troops, and traps her, and is in the position to kill her, but simply cannot bring himself to do it, and begins to have a mental breakdown, falling to Cortana's feet, sobbing. Cortana begins to feel again, realizing that she loves Chief, and kneels next to Chief and takes off his helmet. We see tears rolling down his muscular, battle-scared face. Cortana holds Chief, stroking his face and wiping his tears, and for the first time tells Chief that she loves him, and then goes on to say what she says at the end of the Discover Hope trailer. Cortana looks out across the battlefield, seeing the suffering and death that she has caused, and asks Chief for forgiveness. Chief reaches up with a battle-armored glove, and strokes Cortana's face, quietly telling her that he does forgive her. Cortana summons all of her remaining AIs and Guardians, and destroys the Guardians, and returns the AI to the UNSC. Cortana finally reenters the chip that was supposed to kill her, but Chief doesn't use it to kill her, but instead reinserts the chip into his helmet. The player is returned to the standard in-helmet POV, and Cortana appears on the HUD, smiling warmly, and John whispers to her in a loving tone, "Welcome home, Cortana", in a nod to the end of Halo 4, and the screen fades to black.

@J3WfroN1NjA21 In the novel First Strike a brute almost killed master chief and that brute wasn't even a chieftain. In terms of strength a brute can easily beat a spartan 2 but in term of agility and strategy a spartan can beat a brute. In Halo legends an elite beated master chief in a sword fight.

[@dragonleo_]

@J3WfroN1NjA21 Jerome was also defeated by Atriox and Eric Nylund's novels were updated since 2010 and all of them are canon I have been told that the updated version of Halo The fall of reach fits better with Halo reach, I have the updated version of First Strike and since there is not other version of "how did master chief returned to earth" the fact that a single brute almost killed chief is also canon. Novels and video games are both canon but they are different adaptations of the same story but let me tell you that novels are far more specific than games, maybe another example of this but with another franchise is the dragon ball super's anime and manga or at least that the way I see it.

[@dragonleo_]

Again those books are totally canon and more specific with Spartan abilities, anyway If you pay attention, you can cleary see that cal and jerome are using their agility and superior training to beat brutes, brute are just stronger than spartans, the brute that almost killed chief took him by surprise.

True. Those same Ancient Humans fought off warrior-servant Forerunners in ships in CQC, so even just peripheral muscle memory and reflexes here and there would save the Chief's life many times over.

@@fadelsukoco3092 Ancient humanity in the Halo universe is hands down my favorite non UNSC faction. From the fact that they literally were fighting the flood AND the forerunners at the same time to just how awe inspiring a title such as 'The Lord of Admirals' really is. One of the toughest scenes to watch in the entirety of Halo is when Forthchenko (sorry if spelt incorrectly) called for the extermination of millions of forerunners because their world was tainted by the flood. The amount of grief in such a few lines as they new their duty to the mantle required such actions be done. Really hits deep. Just as the story of 343/Chakas/Forthchenko and all his (their?) losses. There exists no doubt as to why the armor of choice for me in h5 is Hellcat. Ancient Humanity all the way.

I feel like he is cherry picking when he is talking about how easy it is to kill Chief, yeah he’s almost died to a brute, but how many brutes has he killed without a problem? How many brute leaders who’re stronger than regular brutes has he fought and killed within the comics?

[@sircrimsonwolf7492]

That elite admiral character that you brought up would be very interesting to see in the new halo game or a new halo game in general because he could probably be the new leader of the banished since he won’t have any want to say no to him due to his power and size

"The Spartan program was justified because of the elites." Except they were made before the Covenant was even discovered. Spartans were made to fight insurrectionists. Granted, the Spartan program saved humanity, but when it was first created it was far from justified.

[@NotTakenPls]

I really love how Halo developers managed to make the plot armor most main characters have to seem actually legit on Master Chief's case, the team who was responsible with his kidnapping not only tested his mental and physical abilities but also his LUCK, in order to make sure he will get through most situations even if there is no logical way he should be able to put out all the epic shit he did.

It was pretty well established in the early books that the Elites were essentially a worthy and equal enemy for Spartans. Even a simple Minor could go toe to toe with one and come out on top, with particularly skilled Spartans, such as Master Chief, being exceptions to the rule. Much like the Arbiter, or Atriox for the Brutes. Fall of Reach clearly stated that in 2552 the UNSC had only estimated that there were higher ranking leadership units that noone had seen, and survived to report about, within the Covenant military. That included Elites, and Prophets, since the Elites never left any survivors. And it was the Elites being deployed on Reach that was given as the reason the Spartan IIs were wiped out even before the planet was glassed. But that was ret-conned when Halo Wars came out, which also marked the point where Elites became less, and less threatening in the lore of the series, and we slowly went from "You are the last of your kind, built for combat, bred for war." to "Oh look, like half the Spartan IIs were actually secretly still alive, and there are Spartan IIIs now, and also Spartan IVs." Heck in those books, pretty much every time Master Chief went toe to toe with an Elite he had his life saved by marines who took advantage of the Elite being distracted. Now though, reprints of Fall of Reach exclude the notion that the UNSC had never had a reported case of Elites on the battlefield pre-2552, since they've now been seen, and made a joke of as early as the beginning of the war in 2525. Now I think it's more safe to say that an Elite has the potential to be every bit an equal to a Spartan. But only the particularly experienced and skilled ones, like Zealot level. It's no longer a case of your "everyday Elite" being equal to the "everyday Spartan" like it used to be. But I think we're still in a place where the best-of-the-best of Elites could tango with Master Chief.
