Leader Profile: Serina - Halo Wars 2

[@paintedsmile5282]

"Threading a needle while accelerating around a exploding star inside a planet that's falling apart, well sure, why not?" "Serina can you do it?" "It's done. Might want to hold onto something..........Closing your eyes might help too."

[@YormanGina]

Serina's leader power should have been her sass.

[@DeathBringer769]

And Cortana's power is her ass.

[@lordbrick3428]

"Recalling surface squads so we can all die together. Aye sir!"

That message she left for Captain Cutter was heart wrenching. I’m always going to miss her

[@StayFrostyX279]

A lot of her ice based weaponry seemed interesting as it also is anti flood in nature.

[@ReaperofValhalla]

Cabanilla I haven't played the game yet but I'm wondering if they put anything to do with inferno with Serena as well. You know like fire and ice combos or one would cancel the other if in against each other

[@Sunshine-xs9og]

Maybe it was because of the outbreak aboard The Spirit of Fire.She wanted to have weaponry that could combat the Flood.

[@coinfrog2566]

Ice preserves the flood? Fire is the key

[@JJAB91]

That fucking panel with Jerome and the chair is hilarious for some reason.

[@dr.catherineelizabethhalse1820]

I don't think personality and "the human side of AI" differs in different AI generations. It's the more technical super computer stuff which becomes more advanced.

[@HaloCanon]

To some degree I'm sure they become "more Human", but it's likely very subtle. The majorit, as BlueBanana said, is likely to do with technical capability and processing power.

[@fruitgushersbanana5853]

Halo Canon wait is the Bison canon?

hmmm I get yeah. It is quite interesting

[@Steamology1997]

koolerpure the fall of reach would be perfect

[@jazi150]

The problem with a movie of Halo is wich story is going to be choose. Master Chief story is one of the best, but where is the beginning? The first trilogy? The second trilogy? Where is the director going to start? Or is he going to do the first trilogy in one movie? Halo Wars story, is cool but the problems are the fans, maybe they will riot why didn't choose Master Chief story. Halo ODST is one of the most dark stories, and this one could have a good chance, but again, the fans, they maybe will claim why there choose the ODST story if the story of Halo is "about the Spartans", I can see that thing coming. Halo Reach story is maybe the 2nd favorite for a movie (For the game, ODST and MC are the favorite of the fans) because it shows a lot of Spartans trying to defend Reach at all cost, and I can't blame them, is a good story for a movie, but again is maybe the problem when Hollywood can choose the MC story than Reach story...but it could be the "origin" of the movies or MC story, like it is for the games.

[@AdvancedEon]

Bungie didn't make Halo Wars 1, heck they weren't happy with Microsoft "Whoring out the franchise" as they put it. This led to the events of Bungie leaving Halo and creating Destiny

[@elijahwatson3474]

Arc 48 Actually Bungie saw Halo wars as a cash cow. 343 is the one we should be thanking

[@Cybermat47]

I doubt that Anders' cryobomb is non-canon, as it's used in the HW campaign.

[@HaloCanon]

Most likely. It's just that bit about a deployable zero-point energy system not being viable is...odd, let's say.

[@hunterpatterson5094]

Halo Canon would you ever buy and read a book about the wild life Grunt mating?

[@HaloCanon]

Yes. I want a whole book dedicated to Covenant species mating habits. Seriously.

[@hunterpatterson5094]

Halo Canon who wouldn't, it would be new Canon to read and it is a topic that we don't know that much about. I feel like 343 is missing out on some profit from this.

[@arc4859]

Does Serina in HW2 multiplayer have the same voice actor? I know someone said she sounded weird.

[@HaloCanon]

She does sound weird, but I think it's because she's just saying a bunch of quick lines, not allowing for much inflection or "character" (if that makes sense). I'm fairly certain it's the same VA, though.

[@hermeister3870]

Halo Canon hi, important matter here, pinkpride03 reposted one of your videos on youtube and i'd assume it's without permission. Just letting you know.

[@HYv47]

I love your content I am a lore fanatic but I'm too lazy to get into the books/media. I loved how Serina was such a smartass in Halo Wars and it does suck to see her go.

Serina's character in Halo Wars 2 sounds glitched and bugged, slightly distorted, Utah makes sense

[@kingxkai1179]

Hey halo canon I have a question what is the actual representation of the scorpion tank and other halo vehicles? In the mainline title games scorpions are generally slow powerhouses but in HW and HW2 there much faster an mobile which to me makes sense for a tank of the future. Also looking at tanks today one would think that speed and mobility would if not remain the same 500 years plus. hopefully u get this one and maybe she'd a little light on this. Thx

[@HaloCanon]

Vehicles and weapons are always balanced for the sake of gameplay, so they way they function in-game should never be used to indicate how they work in the fiction.

[@sportsrook8282]

Hey guys, I created a story based on Halo and tennis. What do you guys think? (Halo Tennis Story in Progress) Sangheili lifespan: 160 years Human lifespan: 100 years Names for a Halo tournament rivalry story: (Former) Spartan 3 Name: Zak Randoph Played from 20 to 40 (Human years) 18-20: Spent time in military as a Spartan 3. Left to play tennis. Once he turned 20, he qualified to play in the tennis tournament that occurred shortly after. The tennis tournament is known as New Mombasa. It is played in that city of Earth every year between humans and Sangheili. Only Spartan 1s and 3s are permitted to play based on augmentations, if they are not normal humans. Presumably, the rules allow for balance between normal humans, augmented humans, and Sangheili, though as this point, it all comes down to talent. The tennis tournament features 48 players in the tournament, required multiple rounds to reach the finals match. Sangheli Name: Vaktar Ra' Dee Played from 28 to 64 (Sangheili years) The Story: (The beginning) Let's presume the sport is tennis. Vak starts his tennis career. He plays for seven years. He is currently 35 years old. The story begins. First year, Vak wins a title first. Next year, Vak wins his second straight title. Vak's age: 37 At this point, Zak has played for two years. He started the year Vak won his first title. Zak's age: 22 A three year rivalry will begin. Next year, Zak upsets Vak, and earns his first title. Next year, Vak get his revenge, and defeats Zak to get his third title. Next year, Zak strikes back against Vak, and gets his second title. Vak's age: 40 Zak's age: 25 The three year rivalry ends (to be continued). Next year, Zak defends his title by defeating another opponent, claiming his third title. At this point, both Zak and Vak have 3 wins. ////////////////////////// Next year: What happens next? (I'll think about it.) Nvm, it's a time skip. Someone else wins it; they beat Vak in a stunning finish. Vak's age: 42 Zak's age: 27 ///////////////////////// Vak wins the next year, but not against Zak. He redeems himself. ////////////////////////// Next year: Time skip. Someone else wins against Zak in heartbreaking fashion. He experiences his first loss in the finals. Vak's age: 44 Zak's age: 29 ///////////////////////// Zak and Vak go against each other again the next year. Zak wins in the closest match ever recorded. Zak redeems himself. //////////////////////// A time skip. Neither play each other in this finals match. Both get defeated in earlier rounds. /////////////////////// Next year, Zak wins against another opponent. Zak's age: 32 Vak's age: 47 Zak: 5 titles (Record: 5-1) Vak: 4 titles (Record: 4-4) //////////////////////// A two year time skip occurs. Neither player plays in the final matches. Two other guys end up winning. Zak's age: 34 Vak's age: 49 //////////////////////// A two year rivalry pits the two for the last two times together in a finals match. Next year: Zak is once again pitted against Vak for the title. Zak defeats Vak for the last time in the second closest match to date, but with some domination. Zak earns his sixth title. Next year, Vak comes with the ultimate vengeance, defeating Zak with only a little bit of resistance, earning his last title against Zak. He relishes in the moment, for he has seen this a long time coming. Zak's age: 36 Vak's age: 51 Next year, Vak surprises the tennis world by pulling off back to back titles against another opponent, earning his sixth title and tying Zak. Zak's age: 37 Vak's age: 52 Zak's titles: 6 (Record: 6-2) Vak's titles: 6 (Record: 6-5) ////////////////////// Second to last time skip. Someone else wins against someone else. Zak's age: 38 Vak's age: 53 ////////////////////// Zak proceeds to pull off the greatest comeback in tennis history. He wins the next year against another opponent at the oldest winning age of 39. People are shocked at this finals match. No one believed he could do it. But little did everyone know....... Next year, he wins his final championship against another opponent. He turned 40 a couple weeks before the finals match, marking him as the oldest human in tennis history to win a finals match. Zak's age: 40 Vak's age: 55 ////////////////////// The last time skip of two years. Vak or Zak is not in these two finals. Two others win. Zak's age: 42 Vak's age: 57 ////////////////////// Next year, Vak wins his final championship against another opponent. After winning, he honors the rivalry he had with Zak, and relishes on the memories, while enjoying his seventh title. Zak's age: 43 Vak's age: 58 Zak plays for 3 more years until the age of 46. He then announces his retirement. He will be missed by the tennis community. Vak plays for 6 more years, and announces his retirement at the age of 64. They have now both finished their journeys in tennis, and will now enjoy the rest of their lives as they please. Zak's age: 49 Vak's age: 64 Zak's titles: 8 (Record: 8-2) Vak's titles: 7 (Record: 7-5) The end.(for now)
