The fact that Noble Six is calling Chief “Sir” even though he technically outranked him on Reach shows (in my opinion) that he has some respect for him

[@tarheelpro87]

He should be remembered a lot more because yes, master chief has saved humanity so many times, but had Noble 6 not stayed behind on Reach to keep the Covenant from destroying the Pillar of Autumn, Chief wouldn’t even be alive and therefore, not be there to save Earth in Halo CE, 3, and 4.

@@nates205 what... ? What does chiefs luck have anything to do with six just want more explaining in the theory

[@nates205]

@@FataIend my take is that noble 6 was just a pawn in chief's grand story essentially. Not to take away from his skill, I think noble 6 is about as good as chief in terms of skill, maybe even having some superior attributes but limited to his spartan gen but I digress. In regards to noble 6's luck throughout reach, it mirrored chief's and it only ran out once he covered the pillar of autumn's exit well because he faced ridiculous odds no matter how skilled you are. I believe chief's luck of survival and victory actually rubbed off on 6 since chief relied on him to escape Reach and when and only when Chief and the pillar was off, did noble 6 "go missing in action". If for some reason, chief was the one left behind on reach, he would've found a banshee or gotten himself off the planet some way or another. So chief's luck essentially enabled noble 6 to carry out the mission despite the odds and save Chief and cortana.

[@sirpuffball6366]

i really like how they actually fight in distinctly different ways. Chief is stronger and faster; he's more direct and defensive. Noble is a spartan III, so he relies more on aggression and various equipment to keep pace. It really fits the whole spartan bounty hunter aesthetic. reminds me of Boba Fett a bit, even

[@LoneWolf20213]

Also more importantly the fact that spartan 3’s were not as physically strong or fast as spartan2’s so they 6 relying on his armor abilities makes more sense for him to compensate as well

[@Nyghtking]

Indeed, and Noble keeps the pressure up throughout, if Chief is found lacking Noble takes the win

[@RatedShadowXrd]

@@LoneWolf20213 while it is somewhat true, spartan IIIs are as capable and strong as spartan II, it’s just that IIIs were sent to mainly on suicidal missions and “cheaper” to produce than Spartan IIs. However there are some Spartan IIIs who were CAT2, extra augmentation that make on par with Spartan II, Noble 6 is one of them.

[@techypriest7523]

Noble Six also was leagues above other Spartan IIIs in terms of skill and capabilities- while the average Spartan 2 would mop the floor with several Spartan 3s at once, Noble would genuinely fall under the higher end of every Spartan II skills. If he fought every Spartan II in 1v1s, you'd expect him to win or stalemate all but a handful. He's the greatest pupil the Spartan III program ever produced. @@RatedShadowXrd

[@rjp3837]

I've heard an explanation I really liked the IIIs augs are what the IIs were expected to be, since they regularly surprised the Trainers and staff with what they could do but the IIs genetics synergies so well with the Augments that they became the absolute units they were and why Cat 2 IIIS could equal Spartan IIs because they had the same Genetic multiplier the IIS did. Yes I am aware Mjolnir plays a part but I am talking Raw stats especially since the IIIs were generally faster than IIS except outliers like Kelly 053 I might be thinking flexibility and agility here.

For those that think Six couldnt stand up to Chief, keep in mind that before he died, he fought off thousands of covenant troops all by himself with limited resources on a dead desolate planet for an entire day before they finally got him. Dude was a badass, and arguably just as skilled as the Chief. It's just happenstance that he had to be left behind in order for Cortana to be saved. EDIT: The comments have informed me that closer estimations place his survival time between 3 days to 1 week, and the final mission takes place during the very last day. What a warrior he was.

Yeah Spartans don't have true chain of commands since they where all raised as children together. They have something along the lines of the ancient Roman doctrine of "First Among Equals" where everyone has a say and can make a choice but if things hit the fan or something needs to happen fast and efficiently that person chooses what to do. Each team has their own First Among Equals, but John is considered to be the First of them all and the one they choose to lead them.

Compared to S2’s that were literally biologically reconstructed with years of data. S2’s were far superior, there were just less and they took the brunt of the original covenant attacks. S3’s we’re used as essential cannon fodder often sent on suicide missions. Noble 6 was a covert Spartan who mostly operated alone. This always gave him the element of surprise. Master Chief just destroyed everything with brute force. His enemy always knew where he was but it didn’t matter. Chief is a living legend, everyone respected him and would follow him if given the option. There’s a reason bringing in Chief was kept under wraps, they were afraid of a mutiny if people found out

Another factor is that well, B312 don't have any firect order's for killing any member of Blue Team, only capturing them. Since John is also a great public hero, and a great asset by ONI to deal with any and all external & internal threats, if he dies would be a great demoralize factor and would moralize & spark futher insurrections in the outer colonies and since there would no Demon to threat the Covenant ot the Banished, they would lauch a full onscale warfare onto the weakned UNSC

That you said the Master Chief was evil and you had to fight him, but actually it wasn't quite like you teased in the cinematic video?

I believe the single simple action that changed in this timeline is that 6 took Emile’s knife and because it was close to his chest to unsheathe, 6 was able to fight more effectively against the elites equipped with swords in close quarters. Say like the ending cutscene of Reach with 6’s death, instead of elbowing the elite with the sword he used Emile’s knife to kill instead of knocking the elite back with an elbow. While the canon universe 6 left Emile’s knife alone as respect.

[@WarbossR0kt00fSant0s]

If 343 can retcon the Fall of Reach, that is.

[@Zaichata]

For me I feel like it's because 6 is mostly an unknown hero in the universe of Halo. None of Chief's exploits would have happened if 6 didn't do what they did. The magnitude of loss is also much greater than we'd experienced before. Sure, characters have died before but Noble dropping one by one hit different. I think my ideal Halo 5 would have been a game where the first thing you do is customize a Spartan under the guise of "choose your multiplayer avatar" or something. Then you start off as Chief, with an interlude where you play as an unknown Spartan (referred to by some codename) given objectives which you're not sure what the endgame is about. You just get bits and pieces. There'd be no cutscenes, or if they were they'd be entirely from first person. Then slowly you start realizing "this dude's hunting Chief." As you are almost there, you cut back to Chief. You get to play for a while until you almost forget about the other character you just played then BAM. Outta nowhere a scene like this one happens. Imagine what it would have been like to see 6 decloaking, and it's got a shot where it pans up and it prominently shows Emile's kukri on the shoulder (obviously added to the avatar you made). Anyone who played Reach would have immediately known what that meant. That would have been one hell of a moment. EDIT: Just thought of another idea. 6 actually gets ahead of the Chief through a different route, and just before 6 actually attacks you recognize the room the team is in as they kind of settle down thinking it's a safe spot. It'd be an interesting source of tension for the player who knows what's up.

Oh my god all the writing was incredible, the fact that Noble Six was so insanely deadly, the fact that showed mutual respect for each other and Chief seemed more like his logical self rather than Halo 5 Chief (in the OG fight scene it didn't even seem like Chief tried to tell Locke what was going on till after it was said and done) Here 6 and Chief actually have a REAL convo i can see them having. The entire fight had me at the edge of my seat and of course, OF COURDE WE HAVE A BADASS TEAM UP SEQUENCE. The ending had me actually scared though holding my breath, and the reveal to how Chief got his crack on the visor. 'chefs kiss' this was utterly amazing and made me get up and boot Halo because I wanted to feel badass

[@MegaKnight2012]

Man, this hit with such nostalgia, truly feels like an emotional progression of previous games. Locke couldn't best Master Chief, but Noble 6 could help convince him, because he and John are cut from the same cloth

[@therealdyl1099]

5:45 you shoulda absolutelty feel flattered, thats non geneva convention Chief. The only other hyper lethal vector, the man literally was brainwashed by ONI BUT broke from that because he still respected his comrades. I’m not convinced that he’s not alive. I hope they either make a stand-alone game featuring him, or add him to the story, either way that would be awesome.

[@therandomnessstrikes1435]

This is perfect. The voice acting is nearly perfect and the ending is perfect. It even lines up with the actual story of Halo: Guardians.

[@nicholascruz5062]

Totally worth the freaking wait. The way 6 honors his team, the respect he and John have for each other, and now the team up? Really wish this was in game because this was over the top awesome!

[@josephsuh5204]

After that both Chief and Six straight up kick Locke right into his Crouch. LOL XD

This would have been 1 thousand times better history than the one on halo 5, congrats to you and your team

[@wheelbarrow23]

Chief in halo 3 armor AND Noble 6 partially wearing Emile's armor is such a nice touch.

[@RogueLancer]

This made more sense than having Locke, even knowing he is dead. The fact that this bridged 2 of the missions from Halo 5 with more lore than the actual product, is mind melting.

[@Dan-qy6zv]

From what I've heard from the comics and stories, this is probably the closest we've gotten to "lore accurate" spartan battles next to RVB. Because Spartans can do some pretty wacky stuff.

[@ryanfzl01]

You've even managed to give more personality to blue team than 343 has ever done, this is why Marvel proved everyone wrong, they MUST listen to the fans, and the fans can sometimes do it better

[@DayLateGamerWill]

Let's face it, the fans ALWAYS know better than the execs, because the execs are the execs, but the fans enjoy the World, characters, and story arcs. The execs just see dollar signs, investors meetings, and bottom lines, where fans want to see the their Fandom shine, and be as amazing as possible....thats why there's usually a huge disconnect between the Movies/Shows plots, mainly due to Marketing / Corporate Shenanigans and wanting ALL the money, not just some or a fuck-ton of it

[@loginnathaneugh9412]

This should of been Halo 5. Just imagine being hunted down by a ONI Spartan. Not knowing who they are until this very point. Realizing you, as the Master Chief. Are fighting yourself. Do you know how fucking amazing that'd be? Somehow *YOU* surviving the fall of Reach by some miracle, getting evac'ed from that glassed planet. Only for years later, needing to right your own wrong. Given if Noble 6 didn't get Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn. Halo CE and beyond would of never happened. So what Noble 6 said in this very video, makes 100% sense and hold alot of heavy weight. Kinda wish this was what we got, instead of...those spartans.

[@eem2wavy133]

@@DayLateGamerWill that’s false lol. This is what fans like to believe but they don’t understand story directing, pacing, how to write characters, ext this is why they are the directors and y’all aren’t. This isn’t to say there aren’t bad directors here and there and there aren’t some talented fans who can’t write a better version of a story but most of the time the fans can’t write for shit

[@sgp905]

Not the campaign 343 gave us, but the one we needed to keep believing... HaloFollower has truly become a legend...

[@AngryWoodsman]

The best halo content released since reach. They could’ve done SO much with noble 6

[@brandonortiz5104]

THAT WAS THE GREATEST HALO ANIMATION EVER!!!! The fighting the lines, reminding us of reach, Emile, George, and “She made her” line BRAVO AND KEEP MAKING AMAZING STUFF LIKE THIS!!!!!!

You mean Jorge?

[@AttackonDragons]

7:37 man I felt that. It felt good knowing chief thanked our Spartan.

[@commandergoji886]

This "fanmade" animation had more choreography than Chief vs Locke, and i like how they worked together a little bit, they put the small things aside, dealt with the dangerous environments first

You put fanmade in quotations as if it doesn’t look fanmade when it clearly does It looks goofy
