Halo should really have a game that goes into the last moments on a glassed planet during the war sometime. Maybe as a Spartan but preferably an ODST or regular Marine. It's just such a hopeless situation - despite the typical Arma jank and multiplayer shenanigans this was still surprisingly emotional, it would be awesome to see what they could do with a real game set around that scenario.

That last extract was a legendary but sad last ride out of hell, the ODST Squad does a quick landing and everyone rushes to the Pelican to try and get on board. As the pelican gets full, one marine tries to jump aboard the ramp just to fall out the back as the Pelican lifts off and starts getting the hell out of there. You see the marines that were left behind start firing at the Pelican in desperation, all the while the marines and ODST cheer and celebrate at how they are leaving that hell and the other Pelican is seen hovering in the background watching it all go down. Then you see the glow directly where those left behind marines are and everyone watches as the covenant glassing commences and kill everyone below. Now that is the kind of extract I enjoy, the last ditch effort to get away in time before annihilation.
