I think not. He was stabbed multiple times, had no medical care, and was left behind with no one to help him. Plus the fact that if you wander around enough you can find other dead Spartan IIIs meaning him being only one would have been no problem compared to nine even if he was hyper lethal. The fact of Spartan 3s being weaker than other Spartans would also be a factor. Six without a doubt is dead.

My only gripe with ODST and Reach is that you're a nameless, faceless cypher. Look, I get it, Master Chief is supposed to be basically that at the beginning, but at least he has a name. I don't need to pretend it's *me* being a Helljumper or a Spartan - give me a character to play. Especially in ODST when you *wind up controlling named characters anyway*.

BlueNorthCars I rather watch Warframe movie The story will be about the point of view of a Orokin solders meeting the Tenno the first time fighting the same enemies. Orokin created a Tenno as they’re super solder to defeat they’re unbeatable enemies. They don’t trust the Tenno since it’s a experienced beast. Came from failed experiments project called the warframe project. But all that was thought to be just some fairytales. Meet in flesh, completely silent but mysterious entity. They all were transported to a battle against the alien like came from another system called sentients. They’re self aware ai with biology like body, able to breed and multiply. Also able to adapt any environment and any damage inflect to it. The Orokin solder were equipped with high end exoskeleton with topnknocks gears. While a Tenno only carrying 3 weapons a prime rifle, side arm and sword. Since the Orokin solders don’t trust the Tenno, they have they’re weapon off safety mode. But much time later they’re ship got shoot by the enemy and killed most of the Orokin solders Scattered in unknown place within the void, suffering without air. As they see light going out. An angel with wings has reached out to grab them out from the hell. As it’s put them to safety, it’s didn’t want them to give them a break. It’s give the weapons to them and cast a words that give them ( over shield ) then the Tenno pulls out its sword against the enemies in front of it. Fighting with its fellow teammates. In all reality, it is a test to see how well the Tenno works to defeat the sentients while testing out new gear for the Orokin solders. It’s in mag codex Entery give me goosebumps, really reminds me of the arberor and the cheif working together to fight incommon foe. But it’s even more epic to fight side with a legendary Tenno. The lose warriors of the golden era. In the game the Orokin empire and the Tenno has disappeared into ruins making the story’s of the Tennos into legendary or fairytales after they disappeared after thousands of years until they awaken again to bring balance to the world once more. Mostly of all they are free

[@johng3858]

Statement Large 6 was a lone wolf hunter. A black ops Assassin that was intended to complete missions and never return. His return many times proved to make him an impossibly important military weapon. They placed him on reach because they knew reach was in the covenant’s sights and Cortana ran simulations and he was the perfect candidate to ensure the best outcome.

So, I'm pretty sure the book "The Fall of Reach" is cannon, so I'll be basing my nit picks on what I remember from that. 1. 3:39 Master Chief's plan was to board a "disabled" ship, one which would still be repairable, and use it as an infiltration device to kidnap a prophet to negotiate with the covenant, as per his original mission (not nuke it). 2. 5:08 Kinda minor, but it was bugging me, so I decided to point it out. Technically, it should be called, "A" data base (since data bases were on every ship) what made THIS database special was that some ONI numbnut forgot to enact the Cole Protocol. 3. 7:59 Master Chief's mission was just to destroy the Navigation crystal, not plant a nuke. In fact, it required boots on the ground specifically BECAUSE a ship couldn't do the job (if conventional weapons were used, there was a chance the crystal would survive, while a nuclear method risked shorting out the MAC Vs) 4. 12:22 Specifically, Emergency chemical thrusters, which had a lot more ooomph to them compared to the rear fusion engines. Basically, a sudden controlled explosion on the side of the hull 5. 12:30 The sequence of events is slightly misconstrued. First, they fired an initial barrage of three MAC rounds, along with 500 archer missiles (not anchor missiles). Captain Keyes noted that despite only a few missiles actually impacting the enemy vessel with superficial damage, they had managed to down their shields. He then ordered another similar firing solution, but this time with a remote piloted longsword with a Shiva nuke onboard. Just as they were prepared to fire, however, they were hit by blast from the new Ship's weapons. The venting atmosphere initially disrupted their aim, until Cortana finally managed to get a firing solution in place. After a chaotic mess, the enemy shields were down, and the longword was successfully rammed into the side of the Covenant ship. In a particularly satisfying moment, the enemy's shield actually CONTAINED the nuclear blast, which was what actually allowed the Pillar of Autumn to survive such a close range nuke. 6. 15:58 In the book, Fred actually instructed the other spartans to jump out of the ship, believing it gave them a better chance at surviving. It likely did, but you can only increase your chances of surviving a supersonic free fall by so much. 4 spartans died hitting the ground, several were too injured to move (which probably meant like a shattered spine, considering who they were) and everyone else was at least seriously injured (Basically, everyone have broken bones, while Kelly was on the verge of death, requiring organ replacement). 7. 16:22 It was actually before the spartans arrived that saw a large groups of marines dying. One of the surviving four marines (the only surviving group out of about a company of 400) explained that they had barely managed to hold out, and were expecting death basically any second. A lot of their forces had actually died when someone called in an airstrike and an idiot had the brilliant idea of bombing EVERYTHING, killing the Covenant, but also a majority of the marines. There were also several points in the video where the more amazing spartan feats were skimmed over, but none were explicitly wrong as far as I could tell. Overall, it was quite an interesting video I enjoyed.

I always assumed John-117 was doing his own thing on Reach the whole time, and the easter egg we saw was him being freshly prepared for the escape. Like he had just went into cryo-sleep minutes prior to seeing him. This probably wouldn't have made much sense anyway since I think the events of them escaping would have been so short there would be little to no point in freezing him for the trip.

[@zealot5954]

PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS I LOVE THEM. AND AUDIBLE IS PERFECT FOR HALO

[@BelgianDneprGuy2003]

the bigger question: where is Emile's skull on his helmet during the 2 last missions of Reach.

[@blood3215]

If you find his dead body at the Mac cannon it’s still on

[@clubchow2898]

You should talk about the covenant and how they deal with flood infestations and humans deal with flood infestations and compare which one is better. I would love that.

[@rickaroo420]

This doesnt explain how chief was in the cyro chamber at all in the start of 1

[@shanewilliams4818]

When the ship he’s on goes into to slip space, 3 weeks go by so he’s just sleeping in there waiting for the jump to end.

[@matik2138]

I absolutely love your videos of the gaps on the halo games, keep up the good work.

[@RavenMarrow]

During the cutscene where the pillar of autumn escapes you can actually look to your right when the cutscene shows the pillar of autumn's barracks and see the master chief in a cryo chamber, so pretty much to sum it up he was in cryo sleep on the pillar of autumn... Crazy right? (Edit) crap I should have just watched the first 10 seconds of the video before commenting😆

[@johnnyrimbow1461]

I Want a prequel series for Halo. It’d be pretty cool to see everything we didn’t in the base game series. Prequels didn’t work very well for Star Wars but I still would like to see.

[@everstray7482]

Then what happened to Linda after recovery? How did she escape the destruction of the first ring? I know Johnson managed to survive but how did she? And the one with Castle Base, Hasley was also being housed there after being transported by Jun (read Fist of Arrow, which is technically fan fiction but has been accepted by Bungie and 343), who also survived Reach by climbing up an orbital elevator and taking a pelican out (this is from something else).

[@SuperGogeta0]

Why da FAQ where you taking a nap when other Spartans wErE FaQiNg DyIng

[@musafawundu6718]

That is certainly Master Chief within the cryo chamber at the ending of Halo: Reach. The helmet is the give away. There were only two Spartans on board the Pillar of Autumn when it escaped from Reach, and those are Master Chief and Linda. Linda's helmet is distinctly different from Master Chief's, so therefore it can only be Chief in the cryo chamber.

[@valentino5965]

Yeah it’s chief but just an Easter egg not cannon

They got in the super ships shield because everytime that new weapon fired the shield would drop due to energy drain. That's why Cortona had them wait till the last second to dodge the blast.

[@ramonecoleman7278]

This helped me understand why Master Chief couldn't help Noble 6 and his team... I was enraged when I first played reach because I thought master chief had abandoned them but no technically he was fighting along side them but mostly in space and their deaths where unfortunate events no one could help but what I didn't know is that Halo reach technically is the start of the halo franchise so in order I guess it would be reach, halo CE, that one in between game I never heard of, halo 2, 3, halo 3 ODST, 4, 5, and Infinite? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[@victuz]

No bro. It's Halo Wars 1 which is the start of the Halo franchise, as it takes place before Reach. Also ODST takes place alongside the events of Halo 2. Spartan Assault takes places after Halo 3, Spartan Strike takes place after Halo 4, and Halo Wars 2 takes place after Halo 5 and before Halo Infinite.

[@drunkenreaper4584]

If Linda was on the piller of autumn same ship in halo one, it crashed killing 80% troops did she recover soon enough to flee past the flood and covenant that master chief killed and you can’t say she stayed there on the Halo because it was destroyed.?!?!?

[@legendary9689]

When the piller of autumn crashed on the Halo ring it didn't kill 80% of the marines actually alot of the Marines and ODSTs survived the crash if you read the books the Marines put a good fight up until a little before master chief blow up the piller of autumn the games doesn't really show or explain this well but there where marines still fighting the covenant and the flood for most of the game.

[@Turbofurby]

Before the Autumn crash landed on Halo, Keyes ejected all unopen cryotubes so the unawakened occupants could be recovered. Linda was obviously among those unopened tubes and Chief recovered hers after the events of CE where she was eventually revived by Doctor Halsey.

I didn’t get how/why cortana was with chief already when in halo Reach we see her with halsey and Noble 6

[@TheRealG5]

Smart AI like Cortana can make "Fragments", which are secondary programs of the main AI, allowing them to multitask efficiantly. I believe the Cortana of Reach, examining the forerunner artifact was a fragment of the "True" Cortana, which was on the Pillar of Autumn, acting as its central AI.

[@worco8813]

The biggest problem is there is a small conflict going on when it comes to the timeline. In Reach Noble 6 was given a newly created Cortana, from there Noble 6 delivered Cortana straight to The Pillar of Autumn or more specifically Captain Keyes. From there the Pillar of Autumn blasted into space and went straight to the Halo Ring. Here is where Master Chief was thawed out. This means that this was the first time he met with Cortana since Cortana had only just been created. There was simply no time for Halsey to give Cortana to John. Halo CE happened directly after Reach within a couple of minutes of one ending and the other begin. Meaning Master Chief was already in the freezer when Noble 6 handed over Cortana.

[@danikirk5774]

Chief met the Original Cortana during training before he was augmented. The Cortana that Noble 6 delivered was merely a fragment of the Original, the other "half" of Cortana was already in the Pillar of Autumn

I also believe that Cortana used information gained from the forerunner artifact her fragment was analyzing, too.

Reach definitely didn't go down without a fight. The Covenant fleet took massive losses in the first attack and significant losses the second time. Plus the ground invasion casualties would of been high too.
