Could you imagine thinking that your son died, and then years later hearing about the Spartans and how legendary they are, never knowing the son you thought you lost was the greatest of them.

I remember playing Halo 2 in the early 2005. Having played CE some years before, i thought that the fight on the the first ring was all. Watching the cutscene when the Covenant Super Carriers broke through the UNSC fleet and Lord Hood dismissed Keyes attack with her ship, and just after Chief asked to leave and attack it himself and granted permission. Then when he reached the Core with the bomb and the music sets in - that for me showed how insane Chief’s potential was.

I got pumped from the "I'll need a weapon" part all the way to the final "finishing this fight"... Cliffhanger.

[@Stratonetic]

23:55 Thanks for adding that, not many realized what was going through Laskey's head when Chief was on the radio with Kelly and he frustratedly said "I won't leave them!" At that moment Laskey knew that the King just sacrificed himself for a pawn, that he was willing to risk everything for three cadets on a dead world, so Laskey thought about what he was willing to risk and thought of what the Colonel said to him; "At the end of the game the pawn and the King go into the same box."

Something i never noticed regarding the way Chief handles human corpses in the games is how gentle he is when. With covenant corpses he's dismissive and just throws or pushes them aside if they're in the way. With human corpses he's gentle and hesitent when grabbing equipment from them or when investigating them. In halo Infinite you see it when he's grabbing the assault rifle off the corpse in the warthog thats floating in space, he goes to reach over, notices the dead marine and hesitates before gentle grabbing the rifle. A little humanity I never noticed until now.

[@deniser9625]

He's likely so hesitant so if he touches a human he doesn't harm them in anyway like superman they're so strong they have to flex to keep their muscles back

[@eltomodiablo8944]

Honestly the chief is my absolute favourite gaming character ever and I’m a guy who grew up playing sonic!! (Love him too) he is truly iconic and the lore behind is so dam interesting. I fell in love with this character probably the same time a lot of us did when we were first awoken on the pillar of autumn and I spent countless hours as a young lad playing the first halo with my friend on coop and we played right up till halo 4 (personal opinion not the best halo game) but regardless we played every bungie game together. Halo is truly a legendary experience for all fps fans and if you haven’t played them I highly suggest you give them a go. Love the videos btw keep it up man you’ve earned my sub 👍🏻

[@flamewolf2848]

Only thing missing from this amazing video, is that 117 was one of only two Spartans to be declared hyper-leathal, the only other being Nobel 6.

[@WisdomThumbs]

@@Iamtherealtsk I don't remember any Spartan-IVs being labelled as hyper-lethal, not even in Spartan Ops.

[@coleG112]

@@WisdomThumbs Taken from Reddit - "The retcon comes from 2 sources: First, from the Spartan card for Halo: Ground Command: Spartans are biologically enhanced, cybernetically augmented super-soldiers who wear Mjolnir powered assault armor, which further amplifies their strength, speed, and resilience. While the Spartans were created to deal with colonial unrest, they now stand in the front lines of war against the Covenant as the UNSC's most elite force. Each Spartan is a hyper-lethal special forces operative, capable of wielding every vehicle and weapon in the Covenant and UNSC armoury and committed to the completion of their mission no matter the odds or opposition. And then a few years ago from the Spartan Field Guide: (In one section of the guide) Due to their extraordinary successes in the face of overwhelming odds, the Spartan-IIs and the Master Chief are rated as "hyper-lethal" by ONI tactical analysts. (In a different section) Together, Spartan-IV super-soldier and Generation 2 MJOLNIR powered armor constitute a single hyper lethal combat asset."

[@coleG112]

@@WisdomThumbs Essentially, S2 in armor is the same as an S4 in armor. An S2 without armor has a chance of beating an S4 in armor due to raw speed, strength, and reaction time paired with superior training. An S2 without armor would absolutely obliterate an S4 without armor.

[@dwayne7201]

@@coleG112 depends on the armor as a Spartan 2 or 3 in gen 1 armor is likely to be able to overpower a Spartan 4 in Gen 2 however if said two or three is in Gen 2 they will be evenly matched as Gen 2 has a cap on strength and speed unlike gen 1 however Gen 2 augments all wearers to the same extent even the inferior Spartan Fours

I hope that there will be a SPARTAN-IV in Infinite that became a Spartan because he/she was a massive fan of the Chief as a kid (and still is). Could be a great comedic relief character if done right.

[@midnightstarfall8166]

It'd be an interesting way to explore the reality of the chief as well as the image. What the UNSC saw of him compared to what went on behind the visor...heck, the pilot might even be a good character for it. It's something that Halo 4 and 5 could've poked at but sadly didn't, Hunt The Truth did go that angle too, talking about him like a legend...but we have not seen it properly in game yet and it'd be very exciting.

[@Burningphynix]

I have always had this idea that there was a small close knit group of S4's that had dedicated themselves to uphold the mantle of what it meant to being a Spartan as they had actually fought by the Master Chief's side in one theatre or another. Maybe most if not all were inspired by him when they volunteered for the Spartan IV program; but it's another thing to see the Chief in person and fight by his side.... Man, I really hope that one Corporal from the Fall of Reach book got his wish and was asked to join the Spartan project.

And it could actually mean more than just 'he inspired me to become a Spartan,' since you could easily make the case that the Master Chief was pivotal in the battles which finally broke the Covenant and ensured Humanity's survival. So, it could also mean, 'we owe our lives to his actions.' That could still be inspirational, but it's never expanded on with any real detail.

I hope you get the chance to play Chief on infinite. You have no idea on what he is or why. The story lore alone is wholy engolfing. When I played Halo CE back in the days when this game came out. I was hooked rite out. The campaign was a storyline that made the great chariters of Halo. To use a quote from this game. At the end of Halo 3 a greatful human race gave Chief a good send off. The arbiter said "Where it so easy." after Lord Hood couldn't believe Chief was gone. Cut sence ends and chief is seen in the aft end of forward onto dawn alive. In the end Chief is a game icon and he deserves all the respect he has earned tons of times. Installation 00 once again you bring the true hero that made the FPS games run on terror.

I would love to see like a short story or comic of the Spartan II's having a conversation with Oni and Halsey about what they did to them because it really is messed up.

[@flavourruling2162]

Chief was starting to question it in Halo 4, but resolved himself in Halo 5 to be on mission. The Spartans could maybe approach them with this, but I think they’re so far gone that they wouldn’t feel like bringing it up. “It doesn’t matter, we knew what we signed up for” “You were 6” “And we still feel the same” Or ONI and Halsey could approach them, ordered by their persecutors for war crimes, basically forced to reintegrate the Spartans into people again. To first get them to fully entire the weight of what became of them, by comparing them to the children they protect, would they have those kids become Spartans? Would the Spartans note their lack of genetic pre-requisite to make the program? Or would they feel the weight of that and feel protective? Would this reinforce the Spartan’s sense of duty? Or send the gravity of their fate to the forefront of their mind, before the mission - for once.

[@alanlee67]

The thing that makes halo different from other science fiction is that usually sci-fi works explore the hubris of mankind and how humanity becomes its own worst enemy or leads to their downfall. Halo says something greater. Humans hold the mantle and hubris is on the covenant and the forerunners. Even questionable things like the spartan 2 program or the creation of cortana are things that lead to the humans upholding the mantle. It makes halo better than any other

207 engagements may include insurrectionist infiltration missions. Which u seem to have left out exclusively for the sake of Covenant engagements. There are 3 known engagements against the Innies and one of them included Covenant, as depicted in Forward Unto Dawn. There's technically 4 if u include the recent comic that showed the Spartans teaming up with Innies against Covenant forces, but their mission priority wasn't the Innies themselves. The other 2 missions are depicted in the Onyx novel by Kurt and the older comic that showed the Spartan IIs' first mission ever. So I do believe it is all lumped together, unless ONI keeps the Innie missions under black ops and considers those missions "unofficial". I do think it's important to note that the Spartans were intended to fight and quell Insurrectionist activities. Which is y I believe the "covered in black ink" missions are also included with those 207 "engagements". And if u want to go down the rabbit hole even further, Silent Storm adds a somewhat possible 5th encounter with Innies that contributed to the failure of their mission in that novel. However, I wouldn't doubt if ONI tried to establish the Spartans as a whole being created to counter the Covenant threat instead of Innies publicly. It would just be bad press during the Human-Covenant War to reveal their true intended purpose. I just think all those awards he received weren't solely from Covenant engagements. Maybe some Insurrectionist missions got him some well deserved medals. Just my opinion.

Not only is he the most instantly recognized figure in the 26th century, but the 21st too.

As a Soldier I disagree with your last statement, it does not matter how skilled, or determined, you are luck is a big part of combat. otherwise an awesome video!

[@joshj1953]

😂

[@certainirony2409]

Holy Moly, that first part gave me chills.

[@neoluna1172]

great video, but small criticism, ya did not mention his unlikely brothers in arms friendship with Thell Va'dam, the arbiter, feel like that was a majoir thing to overlook.

[@urbangradisek5695]

[@LustyDwarf95]

Made me feel a little better today, thank you 00

That 117 designation is obviously a reference to John Spartan, Sylvester Stallone's character from the movie "Demolition Man". 117 is his Prisoner ID number in the SAPD Cryoprison.

[@sethedmonds810]

Fucking goosebumps when u talk about the Chief !!! Subscribed !!!

[@smokydogy]

Awesome description of him at the end. I feel like the series is biblical

[@3sgtecelica]

Send this to the paramount writers. They need it.

Great story , Great voice , I didn’t realize how halo game was planned ahead so many years ago! Halo game should be considered a Trademark game for Microsoft when it first launched its console with 360.

[@EmperorJosephus]

nice intro!

[@justinsteele8613]

That was beautiful

[@FallafelWaffel]

Great work mate! 💪

[@natebit8130]

I remember that wrestling was banned on the colony he lived on according to one of his childhood friends in Halo: Hunt the Truth. Dian was dead and the person who played him was trying to deceive the interviewer named Ben.

Translation: John is the sweatiest and ultimate rage gamer.

Thanks for this

[@dafluffman6674]

Intro theme? I like this version.

[@Installation00]

Me chanting the Halo theme

[@dafluffman6674]

Really, would be nice to see a full soundtrack

[@ravekiller.]

I love this, but John deserves 4k 60fps

[@845_Mk6]

Never have I seen John 117 and cannon fodder in the same sentence. :->

[@thefallenC073]

Fun fact! I signed up for Waypoint today

[@leighgray8537]

Awesome as always.

[@Aerohead317]

Favorite character of all time

[@andrewmorris483]

I never bought into the idea that Chief would die in battle. He will retire and die of old age, rebuilding Reach, ever helping Humanity.
