[@thomasc.5219]

@@neonsolace2748 nah. I can't agree with that. I do not think that this is the best art style ever had. I think the Halo 2 remaster Halo Wars 2 is the best art style the game ever had. Halo works better as grounded gritty realism than cartoon/ anime shit. So I have high hopes for Infinite cause they are going down the Halo Wars 2 route with story and design. Even though people are bitching about a gameplay trailer for a not finished game for not looking perfect, I think they will nail it in the end. It's amazing how people with take a ten minute trailer for a game that is a year away from being finished and take it as the final product and determine just from that if the game is good or bad. Gaming community does this shit everytime. Look how hyped they were for Cyberpunk cause everything looked great and crowned it one of the best games ever before it was even released. Then it comes out and it was awful. How bout we wait til a game comes out and play it for ourselves before determining if games are good or bad. Also people put too much into graphics. I couldn't careless. I've heard people say they can't play the original Halo(non remaster) cause it looks bad. Like what?!? You won't play one of the greatest games ever cause it's not all shiny and pretty. Some of the best games ever made, even when they first released didn't even look great. Cause guess what. Gameplay is what matters. COD games look great, doesn't make them great games. Fallout NV is one of the best RPGs ever made if not one of the greatest games ever and it always looked mediocre graphics wise. All this just makes me realize how childish the gaming community is most of the time.

[@rhenvao2844]

For anyone confused to the timeline of events, since it's told in media res: - Fal refuses to yield to the Hierarchs, as he sees through their lies. - Sensing retaliation, Fal tries to get Han to leave so she isn't in danger but she flatly refuses. Roh begs him to reconsider but it's clear that Fal has decided to meet them head on. - The Prophets dispatch Haka to kill Han and Roh, thus forcing him to a duel. - Fal kills Haka's bodyguards in the forest, then dispatches the large Covenant army waiting for him. - Fal and Haka have their duel, which claims both lives. - The rank of Arbiter becomes one of shame and bestowed to disgraced elites for a final chance at redemption, thus Halo 2's Arbiter centuries later.

Captain Falcon after this moment, was it seen as armor of shame? I remember when arbiter got branded the mark of shame and was offered the armor he didn’t want to accept it because it was important. But the prophets said they would still get their body and that the arbiter was their tool.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

@@iP3RFEKTIONoO Yes. Because Fal had rejected _The Great Journey,_ (but more importantly, he wasn't being obedient to the Prophets) & as such, the Arbiter was made into a mark of shame.

Funny to note, but the Japanese Version, while the same base story. Actually has a few differences between each other. For example: - The man on the boat is younger and asks Arbiter if this is what he wants to do. - The Ambush is more of a search party.(Same thing really, but its a small difference) - The Prophets reasoning for the Arbiter is different. Arbiter was sent on a mission to kill Heretics, but due to him not wanting unnecessary killing he spares a few. Making the Prophets angry. - Fal's appointment to Arbiter is stated as happening 10 years ago, when he was charged with a mission that required one. - Haka is less a devoted Holy worrier more a Brute if I'm being honest. Haka is willing to do anything to complete his task. As the people Arbiter Spared was killed by Haka in the aftermath. - The conflicts beginning is different but the result is the same. - "The Journey is a Lie!" Is completely gone in the Japanese Version. The shout is instead in a defense of Arbiters Wife, as the Prophet asks that the Arbiters kindness actually came from his Wife. - The conversation between Fal and his wife is different actually. Instead of Fal telling his wife to go else where, its changed to Fal telling his wife how much he loves her and Fal's wife pointing out the death flag of such a statement. - Small difference in the Courtyard, similar to the English ver its Fal telling his men about their fighting style, but tells them not to let their guard down. - Roh and Fal's conversation is completely different. Instead of Roh warning Arbiter about his statements to the Prophets, in this version, Roh and others are AGAINST the Prophets and wants Arbiters Support in an uprising. - Fal is aware of how the Elites are changing and in someway is accepting, but doesn't wish to join the Uprising as to protect his wife. - Fal and Roh both have wifes, and Fal wants to send his wife to meet Roh's(Likely his way of keeping her out of the fight.) - The Prophets ordered hit is different. The Prophet finds out about the Uprising and orders Haka to kill all of those who plan to upraise along with the Arbiter. - The reason for Roh killing Fal's wife is actually to protect his own wife. As Haka threatens to kill her if Roh does not kill Fal's wife. - The Grunt that screams "He's a Demon!" Is the same in the Japanese Version. But I prefer the English version, its much more funnier than the Japanese ver. - From here, everything is basically the same, say for the Dialogue before the duel. As its less about Han and more of how Arbiter is late due to the massive army he just killed his way through. For anyone wondering, I am Japanese but even my Japanese isn't perfect, if anyone wants to correct something I may have miss interpreted please comment. But its just funny to note how the story changed when Dubbed into English its fun to not the differences.

Haka in japanese acting more brute like reminds me more like the arbiter we see in halo wars who cares little for honor

[@lonewolf9578]

Tbf it is an anime

[@thepotatoof4219]

@@lonewolf9578 A lot of the episodes are anime-styled. This one clearly isn't.

[@AbolaSpartan]

It’s important to remember that Master Chief at that time was very injured, heavily exhausted from essentially 3 weeks of constant fighting on Reach, Alpha Halo, and Reach again, was ambushed, and most importantly his armor was practically falling apart. Even Dr. Halsey remarks that John should be in shock and in a coma, not about to go on another mission. And the marine gunnery sergeant tells us that every part of his armor was failing too. So in context, it makes sense that Chief struggled. A few weeks later when Chief was onboard the Keyship returning to Earth, he killed like hundreds of brutes (including a chamber full of dozens of them) like he was Doomguy in CQC for weeks until he abandoned ship after failing to assassinate Truth.

Why *_wouldn't_* you be crying? I will *ALWAYS* remember this as the movie that made me cry the hardest as a kid. Actually, if I'm going to be honest, I'm pretty sure everything in Halo Legends (outside of Origins I/II, & of course the literal Comic Relief episode Odd One Out) made me cry, but The Duel just _really_ hit me as a kid. *_HARD._* Even now, almost an entire decade later in my life, I _still_ have to force myself to not cry once _Blade & Burden_ plays, as it shows his wife's body... *_AND SPEAK OF THE DEVIL! Of COURSE that fucking part would start playing AS I'M TALKING ABOUT IT._* Although, I think I cried harder when it showed the flashbacks as Fal Chavamee remembered his wife as he fell to the ground... Dead.

The way this arbiter stabbed him makes me think this arbiter just wanted to die I mean I don't blame him, but going for that kind of stab means you're purposely giving him the chance to strike you..

[@quentin9676]

Actually, I just realized something. Fal Chavamee could've assassinated Haka or just straight up killed him easily. Yet, he didn't. Why not? Because, he wanted to maintain his honor. Remember in one of the H2A terminals, the Arbiter (before halo 1) let the soldiers pick up their weapons for a fair fight? I think he was trying to maintain his honor. However, that stance seems a lot like he was trying to move fast enough to Haka before he could strike.

[@ray-0249]

The Master Samurott It’s already been stated in game lore and mechanics aren’t the same as in the “reality” of the halo universe. In this interpretation the elites mandibles form together like pieces to form a fully normal mouth only in distress or anger do they come apart to show the true emotion in their facial expression like how a chimp will bear its teeth in a fight.
