@@RoachCatJr no he got it right, do some research on crap before coming and trying to correct ppl who’s already right with ur false information, literally says in the games dialogue “the missions change. They always do”
The saddest part is this whole game sacrificed it's whole budget to create a sandbox engine with no proper content to what could have been a long and beautiful campaign with dozens of Spartans. Bungie needs to come back and revive this masterpiece, the motherfuckers did what Disney did to star wars, they made the games hollow.
1:12:58 As a character I’ve grown up with since CE, I think this line is the MOST human I have ever heard Master Chief. He genuinely sounds concerned or shaken. Great voice acting/work. Very nice.
I have to admit, the writing for Chiefs dialog was absolutely perfect for his character. Straight to the point, no playing again. Its crazy how they have been able to express so much emotion in Chief as well without a face. Excellently done!
@Texel76 imagine there being comics and a ton of verifiable content on the internet and refusing to look any of it up so you can make a retarded comment 😂😂
1:37:46 brought a tear to my eye. I’m speechless at the fact that cortana thought ahead an knew the weapon an john was gonna be together as a team. That whole speech gave me goosebumps an nostalgia to the previous halo games. I also like that echo-216 saved master chief in the beginning an started working together. Great campaign even though i wish they started off from the end of halo 5 campaign an maybe brought the arbiter back into the fight.
They need to restart with a new halo 4 after what 343 did with halo 5. Make 4,5, infinity just dreams John had. They cant recover from destroying halo so badly with halo 5
@@judjudersawn2596 idk man. I think they did an amazing job with infinite. Rectified the series as well as they could have. I’m incredibly surprised after the hot garbage we’ve gotten for the past 12 years. Infinite just might be in my top 3 halo campaigns
Ngl the only reason halo 5 was the worst was because of the lack of CO op campaign. Played all these games with my dad and 5 was the first time we had to take turns kinda sucked haven't bought infinite for the same reason
I agree. His lines are always so short but they have so much impact coming from him since he is so emotionally unavailable and seemingly indifferent in most situations.
He does feel guilty...if it wasn't for him not wanting to destroy cortana none of this would have happen but he let his feelings get in the way and a Spartan should never do that...but chief is different...any one of Noble team would have destroyed her ..maybe not Jorge
41:05 Chief's experience with Guilty Spark came in handy. He knew the sub-monitor would go nuts as soon as he said he would be destroying the facility. Didn't even have to look to block the attack
Spark. Man what a complicated character. HATED him in the games, but the books gave me a new appreciation for him. I'm glad that Spark survived and found his version of a happy ending in the end.
@@Sosuave95 In Halo 3 he was supposedly destroyed, but in the books his remains were found by an ONI team and Halo: Primordium was Spark telling them his story. He ended up uploading himself into the ship's systems and hijacking it and then later uploaded into the body of a Forerunner Armiger, a Forerunner soldier bot like the ones in Halo 5. He joined the crew of the Ace of Spades, the ship of John Forge's daughter, and later became the caretaker of the Shield World Bastion, the Librarian's ultra-secret laboratory. Spark's got a really interesting story that's for sure, including his backstory.
And when the chief said "Our only way home is straight through the heart of the banished." He is correct, if the banished activate the ring, there will be no home to go back to.
Love what they did with Echo 216. He goes from some civilian volenteer to a legit soldier. I think it tells us all we need to know when chief says "good work soldier" at the end of the game to him.
1:36:52 I really like what they did with the Harbinger. Unlike the Covenant, she truly cares about her people's well-being. And in the encyclopedia, it's said that she was a member of the Xalanyn's ruling class. She's not just a soldier doing her duty, she's a noble acting out of sincere devotion to her cause and her people. A far cry from the usual backstabbing ways of Halo's villainous leaders in the past. It almost makes me happy to see her accomplish her goals as a result.
I just realized: You can literally have ANY weapon equipped in the cutscenes, and the master chief will hold them like they are *Actually* what he is wielding at that exact moment. It never looked like his hands were clipping through whatever gun he was holding.
And some cutscenes behave differently depending on which weapon you're holding. Example when chief first meets the harbinger at 38:03 chief with a gun he jumps toward the harbinger but if you're holding an energy sword he will swing the sword when jumping. And if you're holding a gravity hammer in the same cutscene when he gets punched in the air through a tree and boulder he uses the hammer to stand up like a cane
@@FarmYardGaming I saw some video of the grav lift going to the spire. The dude legit had marines near him and one's walking toward the grav lift as Cortana clicks her fingers, just see this man go weeeeeee up the lift.
At 1:04:50 John says “034… Samuel”. That is a reference to Spartan-034 “Samuel”. He was the first Spartan casualty of the Human-Covenant War and one of John’s best friends since the beginning of Halsey’s training program for Spartan II’s. That is why John sounds sad or somber when he says “Samuel” as the last passcode.
I actually teared up for first time seeing a brute really showing his dedication to the end and yet, though he maybe evil, still gets some honor and respect from his foe (Master Chief).
By far, the one moment in Halo history that hit the hardest for me was at 31:00. ONLY with a controller, and only with one, can you understand the emotion behind this -- this one Spartan dies in Chief's hands... and because of the rumblers of the controller... you feel his heart beat fade away, until it is gone. You witness an actual Spartan die in your hands, and are powerless to save them... It honestly made me pause and stop playing Infinite for a few minutes to think about what I just experienced. How it made me feel, my thoughts on life and such. (I know, its a GAME, but still, feeling the pulse of the heartbeat growing weaker to absolutely nothing, and his voice growing more faint till he goes totally silent... It hurts...)
I noticed it at first too, but then turned my attention back to the scene that was happening. It wasn't until the camera panned back to Chief that I realised that the rumbles had stopped.
56:43 every single moment from the chamber in 343 Guilty Spark, Johnson’s death, the Composer firing, to the opening cutscene just flashed through this man’s head 💀 this is the first time anyone’s asked homeboy if he’s okay.
"I failed her. I will not faill you" Chief's delivery coincides with "Missions change. They always do. The mission is not to save Cortana anymore. It's to save Fernando, humanity.
I absolutely love how the cutscenes switch between first and third person so seamlessly. So satisfying. Especially when entering the AI chip by pressing a button and it instantly goes first person.
I teared up at this dialogue “We all fail. We all make mistakes. It’s what makes us human”. Made me think of the line in Halo 4: “Figure out which one of us is the machine”
Indeed, chief had nothing but time to face his inner demons after the loss of cortana in halo 4,in halo 5 he was mostly broken but with the help of blue team maybe Locke halsey and Vadam he became what he is now
@@ericwilliams5721 Still doesnt change the fact that someone is unwilling to pay $20 for a BOOK. Seems a bit... Scam like? And it WAS/IS. So... My point stands and you're supporting a ripoff??
This game was such a powerhouse for emotion. I actually had tears in most the cutscenes throughout the whole game. 343 showing the human side of Chief more in this game really brought his character out more than any Halo since. The music was such a nice touch as well through out the game, the year wait we had to do was more than worth it. 7:55 , 1:20:35 and 1:37:50 hit me the hardest with all the emotion they could put into those scenes.....what a fantastic fucking game....good job 343, good job.
I love how Chief keeps telling "Is it safe" he doesn't want to lose anyone again, Cortona and Spartan Griffin, tbh alot more, he moves on but never forgets
From 50:16 We see a normal human being scared, lonesome, angry and guilty. He feels worthless while standing next to the living legend himself. And has lost all motivation to carry on the fight with the Chief. He wants to be left with the garbage. Then we see Master Chief show his own humanity. His own flaws. And makes this human being feel equal to him. Its a very good scene. Cementing that the Chief is still human. And he will not give up the fight for humanity.
For the people that still don't understand who are the Endless. In the legendary ending they show a dialogue that basically says they are another whole new species in the Halo universe. They are not the Precursors as some people have been theorizing. They could survive the Halos firing and this scared the Forerunners. In case you don't know, the Forerunners greatest fear was another species that could be superior than them and who could threaten their plans (and this is something that is also mentioned in an audio log of Halo Infinite). The Forerunners made contact saying they were going to help but they actually imprisoned them on Zeta Halo. The Monitor was supposed to watch the prison with the assistance of Offensive Bias
The Endless could be precursors, *the precursors went into a sleep or something and destroyed themselves into powder to re-awaken long long time after the halos are fired* ,so they can rule once again. The harbinger did state she was only a messenger or something, so she probably just awoke the precursors or flood precursors… What I mean is there is no way the precursors could have been destroyed, even by a Halo. Also the gravemind is the primordial so it’s still alive technically.
@@javabucket561 it was revealed though in the halo sintium that the powder wasn't the precursors but a malformed degraded version of the precursors. And that the humans coming upon the flood was a failsafe in the event that the precursors were destroyed. The endless are not the precursors.
@@kingofgrooveness the precursors come in all shapes and forms. the people have never seen the precursors.... so it's a new species meaning it could be a new species in the game canon... since in the game the precursors are unknown
@@SuperFAILMC but if the flood is the failsafe for the precursor destruction I can't imagine they'd be alive still. I think the endless are just another entity similar to the forerunners otherwise they'd have the mantle instead of humanity.
I love this shot at 29:01, with Chief looking over the scenery in the ship with the main theme playing, as a newcomer to this franchise, I look forward to playing the whole campaign
they are most likely in it for the money. In HW2 he tells one of the elites to gather his forces and prove they are still worth their price. so he probably beat and then hired them. similar with jackals, you can hear them a lot in the game talk about a bounty on your head.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. With the covenant disbanded and destroyed, they literally had no where else to go. Like a leaderless army.
A thing I love is seeing a normal human volunteer trying to comprehend the chief at the start. Unlike just about every other human we've seen interact with the chief he's not concerned about humanity as a whole or whatever the mission is when we meet him. He's concerned about himself and the living human(s) he has met. Unlike everyone else we've seen in Halo he questions the chief when the chief says something along the lines of "there's a threat to humanity over there so we're going over there or I'm going alone." Everyone else has responded in one of two ways: 1) how can I help? Or 2) but what about the other threat to humanity over here? We're going thus way! Which always leads to the chief responding "Follow me soldier." Or "the threat I mentioned cannot be left unaddressed so I'm going and don't get on my way it'll just waste both our time."
absolutely NO. 90% of the time i just wanted to shout at the screen: "EXPLAIN!" or "What is going on?!" -.- Halo CE felt like an adventure! Halo 2, 3, Reach... but THIS was just a confusing mess! never was so disappointed by a Halo Game ever before.
@@Cyro_2235 We don't want everything explained after 1 game, we want a good story. And personally, I would say we got it. I got the feeling of "I WANT TO KNOW MOAR". And that's a good feeling coming from a Halo story that is just beginning what feels like a new true cycle. Could have been better on some things, for sure. But I salute the effort that 343 put into this game campaign. You can feel that they learn over Halo 4 and Halo 5. And I would sign of another 6 years of wait for another campaign like this than less for another Halo 5 story crashlanding I do understand the feeling of "lacklessness" on some points tho, but far from 90%.
Damn, this is one hell of a game, just by watching the cut scenes it gets you emotional....How do I express the gratitude? This is more than a game. Much more. It's a story you get captivated by, drawn into. It becomes so much more than just a game. You FEEL the story, the pain, the motivations of the characters. It's a movie "YOU" are a part of. The people who made this..I don't know if they even know how cool this is. Thank you..and to all you detractors out there. Go eat a banana,...and imagine something else, because that's what you probably know anyway.
The dialogue in this game is so good. I like that Chief is back to his unintentionally funny one liners. The feeling of exploring Zeta Halo feels like exploring Halo CE again too.
50:25 - 54:00 , this cutscene was refreshing to watch on the first playthrough. We've always known that john is more than a weapon, but the way he expresses himself in this scene and encourages himself and echo 216 to continue was very good.
Love the small detail of MC being dropped off the holding rack after being picked up out of space at the start. Its not often they physically show just how heavy he is with his armor which is 1,000 lbs.
Lmaooo, remember when a certain spartan had an "equal fight" with Chief!?! Remember when a punch moved Chief at all? Remember when for some reason they were the same height!? 😂😂😂
Halo Infinite has many emotional cutscenes. 343 Industries really did a great job with Halo Infinite, both with gameplay and the story-line, given how long it was delayed. Bravo!
It’s just so…..damn epic how chief literally tells echo that him and weapon need him. Chief had been through so many battles, a true lone wolf. Has many brothers and sister Spartans fall in battle, but he always pushes forward and right now…. He’s in need of a mere human that could easily be kill by the finger of a brute. It’s just so emotional seeing this side of chief. Knowing under all that armor and augmentations he still has a beating heart at work
I watched the whole thing...why did Chief need Echo, besides save humanity motive? Chief knows how to pilot many UNSC ships no? I thought the scuttler was going to use Cheifs suit to power the ship. Wasn't that why life support was so freezing at the beginning?
@@grimhammer00my guess is, after witnessing Cortana going crazy and killing a lot of innocent people, specially an installation that trained Spartans, chief finally became soft and realized his failure. He knows he fucked up big time and he can’t take that back. Now he’s wary of AI’s, but also he’s sad he got innocent people killed so maybe he’s prioritizing humans lives this time? He always saw casualties as sacrifices that couldn’t be avoided in war, but maybe he wants to do everything he can’t to avoid losing people idk just spit balling out here haha
lucky for chief a lot of the marines on the ring are ladies 😂 that being said imagine trying to make the moves on him “thanks for saving my life.. etc etc” poor chief wouldn’t even know what to do “we have a mission soldier” “oh i got…” wait did i just accidentally make fan fiction 😂
343 hit the nail with the game. The weapons and everything seemed balanced and the overall game play is badass. I can't wait for forge mode. The banished are a great reset way for halo as well. They feel like a real threat compared to the covenant. Reach was the best representation of the covenant and now we got the banished. Hope we get some good meaty wars in the next game.
I feel the big boss of the banished are too chatty though, like villains from kids films, blabbermouth, makes their own prediction, boasts about it, and as template goes, they fail.
This game felt like a Saturday morning cartoon which had its budget accidentally expanded by a few too many zeros. For hecks sake, the antagonist is basically Skeletor with hair, minus the charm.
The textures in tbis game is overall super good i was thinking about uploading a video i made today cuz some friends trashtalked the graphics while the textures are on another level....
You can really really see how far Chief has come as a human. Speaks more, Verbally helps and reassures. He no longer talks as if he's a soldier, He talks as if he's human.
This game was great at showing Chief's humanity. Usually he's just a badass, weapon of a soldier. But the emotion and empathy they pedal into him is awesome.
1:20:35 gets me emotional every damn time. The music, The Weapon’s shock that Chief is willing to give her a chance to earn his trust, and Chief’s simple and earnest response. I just love everything about this scene. Say what you want about H4 and H5, but I think most of us can agree the way that 343i has been humanizing Chief has been fantastic.
No, 343 never understood the character of masterchief. He was always a myth, legend, a messiah quite literally and when he's no longer needed he surrenders himself in stasis. No personal conflict or strife, that's what he was, where his existence was purely for humanity, so impossibly unreal that it was as if he materialized from a fairy tale. That's the fine line, that's the difference between masterchief and the masterchief. He's no longer the masterchief, he's just another generic action protagonist that doesn't really talk and has to learn his own humanity because he's a robot or whatever, this narrative has been done so many times, better, in other mediums, he's just masterchief now. If u want a good comparison then take the doom slayer, his character is literally what bungie imagined to be the masterchief and all I can say is man, what a downgrade we got with masterchief
@@heftymagic4814 This is such a stupid, asinine response. You’re legitimately upset that Chief is an actual character now, not some mythical figure that no one can relate to, and it’s kind of pathetic. Now Chief is an actual human with emotions and character growth, people can relate and connect with him. He’s no longer some emotionless robot who we just play through the eyes of. And the Doomslayer comparison is so stupid. Doomslayer isn’t a character, he’s just our vehicle for killing demons. Chief is an actual fucking character in an actual story. He shouldn’t just be some emotionless, unrelatable robot who never grows or changes throughout the story.
Atriox saying “my face is the last face you will ever see” Is oddly reminiscent of when forge in halo wars impaled the arbiter twice after the arbiter said the same thing…
1:07:50 Damn, Chief accidentally calls the weapon Cortana and visibly flinches at his own mistake. Never seen the man flinch, let alone do a doubletake. The level of vulnerability from the Chief really humanizes him, and I love what they're doing with his character. Props to 343, they're going somewhere this time!
i understood it as him starting to explain something about Cortana but thinks to himself "what's the point?". what helps my point is the fact that the entire game, he almost speaks his feelings but stops himself on several occasions.
@@RoachCatJr based on his inflection, I think he was going to try to explain it but just didn't know how to articulate his point in a brief manner. after all, there's no quick way to emphasize that Cortana fractured her personality, went into the Domain, and decided to become Space Skynet. and it's especially hard to do when you're as socially inept as the Chief.
i was already falling in love with the game but when Echos spilled his guts to chief and chief ended up kneeling down next to him showing he is still a human and not a robot sold it for me. that and the ending were my favorite parts of the game
I loved this campaign. Guardians was the only campaign I didn’t finish; I didn’t get into it as much as the others. I started playing Halo when the MC Collection came out, and was totally hooked. I was hoping Infinite would be on the same level of personal enjoyment as any of the campaigns in the collection, and man, Infinite exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t long before I realized it is my favorite Halo campaign. I was a little lost, not playing Guardians, so that’s next for me. Watching this helped me get my bearings, I for one appreciate your effort for taking the time to put this together. Even though you didn’t put this together for me personally, thank you.
I love how it showed master chief at the start of the game hesitating when he seen his dead comrades gun. He wanted to be respectful and not loot the possessions of the dead but knew the mission could of depended on it so he took it. This is the first game they show master chief with emotion arguably. Any emotion in previous games were so dead Pan it was hard to tell you kind of just had to assume it’s what he felt. Now you just know, they humanized him x100 this game lol
I like it because in halo 4 Cortana asked chief to figure out if he was human or a machine. Paraphrasing of course because it’s been years since it came out and this is the first game that truly shows his humanity and it makes him so much more of a hero and great character. I’ll always love halo and the chief
Bruh.. In halo 3, master chief was sad for Johnson's death.. but as uk he can't show emotions as he was trained to b a super soldier with no humanity within. But even in halo 4 starting, master chief was still dead pan until cortana told chief to figure out who was the machine.. I love how chief slowly turning into human, while staying the same super soldier at the same time. But I also fear that this will b the reason for his death too
It really feels like this campaign feels reflective of 343's relationship with the fanbase. Especially with the whole Weapon and Chief storyline. It's a sincere story, and a pretty good one at that. I think I'm looking forward to what Infinite has in store in the future
It's one of the main things that brought Halo back to its roots. An AI/Master Chief co-op relationship. Along with having Master Chief look and act like he use to in the first 3 games. They made him way too over the top and not act like the real Chief in 4 & 5. This just had the feel of an OG Halo game.
@@dagger27 Personally I think 4's narrative was ok-ish for story line, if their intention was to show us the different side of Chief and his motivation in the future, but yeah then 5 just went rouge. Also this game is kinda unfriendly to the new fans, those who haven't played this franchise before or at least knew the lore probably will have a harder time figuring out what's going on.
Echo 216: "We can't fight the entire banished army and stop them from firing the ring alone". Cheif: *Flashbacks to when he destroyed the covenant and the flood in a single road trip around the galaxy* "Yeah we can. Just gotta find some weapons".
I love how this is the first game that very accurately shows you how heavy Chief is in his armor. The fight with Atriox shows how he pushed in the Warthog's wheel by being slammed into it, his foot steps are loud, after being sent through a tree he lands and still destroys the rock behind him by rolling into it, and my favorite is the sound que in 52:18. when he takes a knee.
Very accurate? Halo has never accurately shown Spartan weight. It should be impossible for Elites to lift Spartans with one hand and yet they do all the time, which is complete bullshjt.
@@Main-Villain There's people in real life that can lift upwards of 800lb with their legs. It's not unreasonable to think elites weighing 300-400lb and towering over most humans at almost 7ft can lift that much with double joined legs. Also take into consideration when the elite lifted Emile that's more than reasonable considering spartan 3s don't weigh a ton like Chief because they're meant more for stealth and sting operations.
@@AgentNibbles Noble six is a command team so they've been fitted with Mjolnir armor. They weigh 1200-1400 lbs in total, which means that's a lot of weight just hanging of that 410lb elites arm. The elite that picked up Emile would've been too off balance to hold him up like that, even more so while he's swinging around. I'm not saying they can't lift them, just the way we see in the games is entirely too unrealistic from a physics perspective
@@Main-Villain Its almost they nerfed Spartans because the original design was too op for the common enemy they designed. Otherwise there wouldnt be a challenge or reason why the spartans are losing lol One of those oops details. Spartans sounded cool as tanks until it conflicted with the games action lol
@@greygalaxy8638 if you read the lore theres loads of flood on zeta halo, technically the last city of the fore runners that lived past the halo firing is on zeta halo . it did have fore runners inside of it aswell
I really like how this game is showing us Chief's strenght and weight as he's a Spartan Like at 6:38 we can see him just pulling the door like its some average sliding door but at 2:24 we see that The Pilot was struggling to open it And at 52:18 we see Chief kneeing and the camera literally shakes. At 4:42 when he gets dropped down everything around moves At 38:14 he breaks a tree by just falling, and then gets up like it was nothing
I like to imagine that, when Chief takes that knee, it's not just his physical weight that makes the camera shake. It's the emotional weight. That weight that is weightless, but weighs you down nonetheless. Echo specifically asks if Chief has ever been scared. So scared that he wants to turn tail and run. And I *hope* that his answer, to himself, was "Of course I have." We all have this image of Chief being an immutable badass made of stone, but he is only human. Of course he has emotions, and of course he's felt fear. Fear far beyond the scope of anything we can imagine. So, I hope that his answer, if he wanted to assure Echo, would have been "Of course I have."
@@MisterJohnDoe fuck jackals, fuck grunts, fuck elites, fuck brutes and most importantly, fuck the covenant(I don't care if they're banished same thing)
I love how the ending is them basically apologizing and asking for a chance ‘to rectify’ through Cortana’s words through the fans. Even when weapon chooses her name, she asks chief if it’s okay like as if 343 is asking us if it’s okay. I think they did a good job and learned from their mistakes (like Cortana said) and I think they’ll do a good job moving forward if they keep this up. I have not been excited for halo like this since Bungie left. Good work 343
I haven't read Fall of Reach, The Flood, or First Strike in several years, but I really appreciate the little nods they left in this game. Red flag refers to the capture the flag games Chief and the other kids were made to compete in for training, 034 and Samuel refer to his friend Sam who he, John, and Kelly were in the same squad togehter; the original blue team. Several other tidbits from the books and other works were used, but still, shows they really took time and care making this story. I'm glad to see Halo making a comeback.
Actually no: RED FLAG was the name of the mission that Cortana and the Chief were supposed to embark upon to the Covenant homeworld when they first met. Operation: RED FLAG.
🤣 🤣 I was looking for this comment to see if anybody else was bothered by master chiefs lack of respect for people’s personal properties 🤣 made that poor guy have to go out and salvage to replace all that shit like 3 times in a matter of 3 days I would of been fucking pissed lmfao the next transmission would of said you lost all of my shit for the last time chief, I’m halfway home now your on your own 🤣
It's a pretty exciting idea really. They are rebooting the story without destroying the franchise, bringing back one of the most intimidating villains in Halo(I think Atriox is alive) thus opening the possibility to see Spirit of Fire, and giving us the chance to explore the story without having to recap the mistakes of Halo 4 & 5 we get to recap the AI war while finding the other Halo characters. Also instead of a love story I think we'll see a father and daughter bonding throughout the show, this would make it more touching to me. The daughter of Cortana and Chief.
He was koed in both instances and could’ve potentially died if he didn’t slow down his descent, spread his weight, and lock his armour. Other Spartans have died in similar to lesser falls. Granted those were armours from previous gens but I haven’t really seen anything from this new suit showing improved durability over others. But… he could definitely survive the ledge fall.
1:04:45 I can’t be the only one who instantly recognized “034” and “Samuel”. Idk bout y’all else who did but I died a little inside when those were the codes for the failsafe
Something people aren't talking about for some reason is when Echo 216 hands chief a sidekick with only 1 bullet in it, it seems to imply to me that he may have been saving it in case he decided to end his own life due to the isolation he experienced, which brings a whole different layer to the guilt he experiences later on when he admits to chief that he chose to flee and that he was not even a soldier
1:05:00 The confirmation word being "Samuel" is a nice reference to Samuel-034, which was one of Chief's squad members on Blue Team and the first spartan casualty iirc.
This game was amazing idk why people hate this and the halo series it’s all amazing they just wish it was like the actual video game but they knew it was gonna change and they can’t stop it.
@@LostEnding_ it's really not, it's just scarred by the mess that was Halo 5. Halo 5 is the only game with a truly bad story and it's only because it was so unfocused and had too much irrelevant filler missions.
If the Endless can time travel, then I understand why the Forerunners fear them. If the Flood could infect the Endless, the Flood could devour every living thing throughout space and time.
I was worried after Halo 4 and 5, but I have to say that 343 knocked this out of the park. The story especially is new, but also familiar. It's reminiscent of the original Halos. Very good job.
@@davidgutierrez3856 My guy. Non-Halo fans have no idea what the fuck is going on. The only thing this campaign did was have 343i bitterly retcon and kill off their own ideas. This isn't a continuation of Halo 5-this is a soft reboot.
@@LightAndDarkMdness02 true, but it's still better than 5 since it's easy to understand and it actually has interesting characters and plot, the banished and the harbinger make wonders for correcting the main mistakes in 5 hell the only way you could actually understand anything in 5 was through reading a shit ton of lore before that, you couldn't even get it from the get go and yet it was still barely a story to even consider a "story". plus unlike 5 this one actually builds interest in the halo universe while 5 barely does that.
I used a rocket launcher briefly, but mainly I just shot him with my battle rifle and assault rifle. There was plenty of ammo for those along the walls of the room.
@KlazeGamez possibly ships made for destroying the infinity, and remember the AI were turning against humanity at the same time so the infinity was possibly damaged
@KlazeGamez It was the Infinity that ram a RCS-class armored cruiser during Halo 4. And it is only 2km long. Btw, Brutes seems have to develop much more weapons than during the Covenant-era. And the ship that ram Infinity looks designed for it, hammerhead bow on the front of the ship.

As a character I’ve grown up with since CE, I think this line is the MOST human I have ever heard Master Chief. He genuinely sounds concerned or shaken.
Great voice acting/work. Very nice.

Chief doesn't get shaken. That's why he's the Master Chief. 343 absolutely ruined the character.

@@wnathanielw You might be right simply from the enhancements.
I have to admit, the writing for Chiefs dialog was absolutely perfect for his character. Straight to the point, no playing again. Its crazy how they have been able to express so much emotion in Chief as well without a face. Excellently done!
Reminds me of the writing for the Mandalorian… script work without a face. It’s excellent in that show and here in this script..

Ngl the only reason halo 5 was the worst was because of the lack of CO op campaign. Played all these games with my dad and 5 was the first time we had to take turns kinda sucked haven't bought infinite for the same reason
“I don’t. But I want to.” One of the best and most honest Halo lines ever.

The power of chiefs lines is insane. When the weapon said "And you blame yourself?" and Chief said "Yes". So much said with so few words
I agree. His lines are always so short but they have so much impact coming from him since he is so emotionally unavailable and seemingly indifferent in most situations.
When does he say this?
He does feel guilty...if it wasn't for him not wanting to destroy cortana none of this would have happen but he let his feelings get in the way and a Spartan should never do that...but chief is different...any one of Noble team would have destroyed her ..maybe not Jorge

Just realised that when Echo-216 says "You have one bullet against an entire army", it's because he was saving one bullet to kill himself.
41:05 Chief's experience with Guilty Spark came in handy. He knew the sub-monitor would go nuts as soon as he said he would be destroying the facility. Didn't even have to look to block the attack
"New. Potentially dangerous"
Spark. Man what a complicated character. HATED him in the games, but the books gave me a new appreciation for him. I'm glad that Spark survived and found his version of a happy ending in the end.

@@WarGrowlmon18what happened to him i forgot ?
@@Sosuave95 In Halo 3 he was supposedly destroyed, but in the books his remains were found by an ONI team and Halo: Primordium was Spark telling them his story. He ended up uploading himself into the ship's systems and hijacking it and then later uploaded into the body of a Forerunner Armiger, a Forerunner soldier bot like the ones in Halo 5. He joined the crew of the Ace of Spades, the ship of John Forge's daughter, and later became the caretaker of the Shield World Bastion, the Librarian's ultra-secret laboratory. Spark's got a really interesting story that's for sure, including his backstory.
When he talks to Fernando about how he failed Cortana, and that ONE line, "I failed her. I will NOT fail you." Favorite line in the whole game.

And when the chief said "Our only way home is straight through the heart of the banished." He is correct, if the banished activate the ring, there will be no home to go back to.
Love what they did with Echo 216. He goes from some civilian volenteer to a legit soldier. I think it tells us all we need to know when chief says "good work soldier" at the end of the game to him.

1:36:52 I really like what they did with the Harbinger. Unlike the Covenant, she truly cares about her people's well-being. And in the encyclopedia, it's said that she was a member of the Xalanyn's ruling class. She's not just a soldier doing her duty, she's a noble acting out of sincere devotion to her cause and her people. A far cry from the usual backstabbing ways of Halo's villainous leaders in the past. It almost makes me happy to see her accomplish her goals as a result.
I just realized: You can literally have ANY weapon equipped in the cutscenes, and the master chief will hold them like they are *Actually* what he is wielding at that exact moment. It never looked like his hands were clipping through whatever gun he was holding.
And some cutscenes behave differently depending on which weapon you're holding. Example when chief first meets the harbinger at 38:03 chief with a gun he jumps toward the harbinger but if you're holding an energy sword he will swing the sword when jumping. And if you're holding a gravity hammer in the same cutscene when he gets punched in the air through a tree and boulder he uses the hammer to stand up like a cane
Fun fact: fusion coils, marines and vehicles persist in cutscenes. You can have illegal amounts of fun with these.
@@FarmYardGaming I saw some video of the grav lift going to the spire. The dude legit had marines near him and one's walking toward the grav lift as Cortana clicks her fingers, just see this man go weeeeeee up the lift.
At 1:04:50 John says “034… Samuel”. That is a reference to Spartan-034 “Samuel”. He was the first Spartan casualty of the Human-Covenant War and one of John’s best friends since the beginning of Halsey’s training program for Spartan II’s. That is why John sounds sad or somber when he says “Samuel” as the last passcode.
Yeah, it’s too specific to be a coincidence.
It also references operation red flag
Thanks for this because I wasn't sure I was remembering correctly. That and "red flag" is a nice touch
This made me tear up the first time and I had to rewatch it. It's such a small detail, but fuck, did it hit hard.
This is the first comment I saw about this
I actually teared up for first time seeing a brute really showing his dedication to the end and yet, though he maybe evil, still gets some honor and respect from his foe (Master Chief).
Bruh
Al the cutscenes got me, those flashbacks with cortana… fuck.
That was surprising and I weirdly felt good when Chief did that
That’s was nice makes me think of maybe a alliance and finally peace between the banished and the UNSC in the future
Chief knows a soldier when he sees one they are both fighting for what they believe is right
By far, the one moment in Halo history that hit the hardest for me was at 31:00. ONLY with a controller, and only with one, can you understand the emotion behind this -- this one Spartan dies in Chief's hands... and because of the rumblers of the controller... you feel his heart beat fade away, until it is gone. You witness an actual Spartan die in your hands, and are powerless to save them... It honestly made me pause and stop playing Infinite for a few minutes to think about what I just experienced. How it made me feel, my thoughts on life and such. (I know, its a GAME, but still, feeling the pulse of the heartbeat growing weaker to absolutely nothing, and his voice growing more faint till he goes totally silent... It hurts...)
I noticed it at first too, but then turned my attention back to the scene that was happening. It wasn't until the camera panned back to Chief that I realised that the rumbles had stopped.
Man he got lost on his way, spartans never die right, they just go m.i.a
56:43 every single moment from the chamber in 343 Guilty Spark, Johnson’s death, the Composer firing, to the opening cutscene just flashed through this man’s head 💀 this is the first time anyone’s asked homeboy if he’s okay.
No it's not. Cortana asked him if he's okay after the Didact composed that research facility in Halo 4.
Echo: We cannot possibly contend with all the enemies on the ring!
Chief: "we?"
"What we? Only me."
Well Echo was the one to find and reactivate chiefs armor...
"I failed her. I will not faill you" Chief's delivery coincides with "Missions change. They always do. The mission is not to save Cortana anymore. It's to save Fernando, humanity.
Really love the pilot, maybe I'm biased because he has the same name as me, but still.
I absolutely love how the cutscenes switch between first and third person so seamlessly. So satisfying. Especially when entering the AI chip by pressing a button and it instantly goes first person.
Mee to
I teared up at this dialogue “We all fail. We all make mistakes. It’s what makes us human”. Made me think of the line in Halo 4: “Figure out which one of us is the machine”
Indeed, chief had nothing but time to face his inner demons after the loss of cortana in halo 4,in halo 5 he was mostly broken but with the help of blue team maybe Locke halsey and Vadam he became what he is now
Love how Chief wants to destroy the ring and the monitor wants to shoot them and he’s like “nope, been there done that”

he keeps asking that bc he doesnt trust the weapon
From 50:16
We see a normal human being scared, lonesome, angry and guilty. He feels worthless while standing next to the living legend himself. And has lost all motivation to carry on the fight with the Chief. He wants to be left with the garbage.
Then we see Master Chief show his own humanity. His own flaws. And makes this human being feel equal to him.
Its a very good scene. Cementing that the Chief is still human. And he will not give up the fight for humanity.
"I failed her. I will NOT fail you." What a powerful line.
Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten
It's Wonderful 😊.
For the people that still don't understand who are the Endless. In the legendary ending they show a dialogue that basically says they are another whole new species in the Halo universe. They are not the Precursors as some people have been theorizing. They could survive the Halos firing and this scared the Forerunners.
In case you don't know, the Forerunners greatest fear was another species that could be superior than them and who could threaten their plans (and this is something that is also mentioned in an audio log of Halo Infinite). The Forerunners made contact saying they were going to help but they actually imprisoned them on Zeta Halo. The Monitor was supposed to watch the prison with the assistance of Offensive Bias
The Endless could be precursors, *the precursors went into a sleep or something and destroyed themselves into powder to re-awaken long long time after the halos are fired* ,so they can rule once again. The harbinger did state she was only a messenger or something, so she probably just awoke the precursors or flood precursors…
What I mean is there is no way the precursors could have been destroyed, even by a Halo. Also the gravemind is the primordial so it’s still alive technically.
@@javabucket561 it was revealed though in the halo sintium that the powder wasn't the precursors but a malformed degraded version of the precursors. And that the humans coming upon the flood was a failsafe in the event that the precursors were destroyed. The endless are not the precursors.
yawn is all I gotta say to all this lol.
@@kingofgrooveness the precursors come in all shapes and forms. the people have never seen the precursors.... so it's a new species meaning it could be a new species in the game canon... since in the game the precursors are unknown
@@SuperFAILMC but if the flood is the failsafe for the precursor destruction I can't imagine they'd be alive still. I think the endless are just another entity similar to the forerunners otherwise they'd have the mantle instead of humanity.

It’s not like the Elites had a choice lol but I agree it’s cool af to see them fighting together
they are most likely in it for the money. In HW2 he tells one of the elites to gather his forces and prove they are still worth their price. so he probably beat and then hired them. similar with jackals, you can hear them a lot in the game talk about a bounty on your head.
I guess I'm referring to Escheram and his elite pal that was consoling him lol
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
With the covenant disbanded and destroyed, they literally had no where else to go.
Like a leaderless army.
This is a splinter faction. A lot of sangheli still despise brutes and vice versa
Love how Chief steps in front of the weapon to block the monitors beam because he learnt that when Johnson died at the end of halo 3 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Because Tony learns from his mistakes
A thing I love is seeing a normal human volunteer trying to comprehend the chief at the start. Unlike just about every other human we've seen interact with the chief he's not concerned about humanity as a whole or whatever the mission is when we meet him. He's concerned about himself and the living human(s) he has met. Unlike everyone else we've seen in Halo he questions the chief when the chief says something along the lines of "there's a threat to humanity over there so we're going over there or I'm going alone." Everyone else has responded in one of two ways: 1) how can I help? Or 2) but what about the other threat to humanity over here? We're going thus way! Which always leads to the chief responding "Follow me soldier." Or "the threat I mentioned cannot be left unaddressed so I'm going and don't get on my way it'll just waste both our time."
They never tell you what the AI is suppose to be called. Youre suppose to assume its Cortana but I secretly hope she chooses Google search assistant.

Could have been better on some things, for sure. But I salute the effort that 343 put into this game campaign.
You can feel that they learn over Halo 4 and Halo 5. And I would sign of another 6 years of wait for another campaign like this than less for another Halo 5 story crashlanding

@Zenolegor most likely right!
Damn, this is one hell of a game, just by watching the cut scenes it gets you emotional....How do I express the gratitude? This is more than a game. Much more. It's a story you get captivated by, drawn into. It becomes so much more than just a game. You FEEL the story, the pain, the motivations of the characters. It's a movie "YOU" are a part of. The people who made this..I don't know if they even know how cool this is. Thank you..and to all you detractors out there. Go eat a banana,...and imagine something else, because that's what you probably know anyway.
The dialogue in this game is so good. I like that Chief is back to his unintentionally funny one liners. The feeling of exploring Zeta Halo feels like exploring Halo CE again too.
50:25 - 54:00 , this cutscene was refreshing to watch on the first playthrough. We've always known that john is more than a weapon, but the way he expresses himself in this scene and encourages himself and echo 216 to continue was very good.

Has many brothers and sister Spartans fall in battle, but he always pushes forward and right now…. He’s in need of a mere human that could easily be kill by the finger of a brute.

@@grimhammer00my guess is, after witnessing Cortana going crazy and killing a lot of innocent people, specially an installation that trained Spartans, chief finally became soft and realized his failure. He knows he fucked up big time and he can’t take that back. Now he’s wary of AI’s, but also he’s sad he got innocent people killed so maybe he’s prioritizing humans lives this time? He always saw casualties as sacrifices that couldn’t be avoided in war, but maybe he wants to do everything he can’t to avoid losing people idk just spit balling out here haha

52:09-53:20. Defeat to reality to carrying on. The story of Halo.
343 hit the nail with the game. The weapons and everything seemed balanced and the overall game play is badass. I can't wait for forge mode. The banished are a great reset way for halo as well. They feel like a real threat compared to the covenant. Reach was the best representation of the covenant and now we got the banished. Hope we get some good meaty wars in the next game.
I feel the big boss of the banished are too chatty though,
like villains from kids films, blabbermouth, makes their own prediction, boasts about it, and as template goes, they fail.

No, 343 never understood the character of masterchief. He was always a myth, legend, a messiah quite literally and when he's no longer needed he surrenders himself in stasis. No personal conflict or strife, that's what he was, where his existence was purely for humanity, so impossibly unreal that it was as if he materialized from a fairy tale. That's the fine line, that's the difference between masterchief and the masterchief. He's no longer the masterchief, he's just another generic action protagonist that doesn't really talk and has to learn his own humanity because he's a robot or whatever, this narrative has been done so many times, better, in other mediums, he's just masterchief now. If u want a good comparison then take the doom slayer, his character is literally what bungie imagined to be the masterchief and all I can say is man, what a downgrade we got with masterchief
@@heftymagic4814 This is such a stupid, asinine response. You’re legitimately upset that Chief is an actual character now, not some mythical figure that no one can relate to, and it’s kind of pathetic.

And the Doomslayer comparison is so stupid. Doomslayer isn’t a character, he’s just our vehicle for killing demons. Chief is an actual fucking character in an actual story. He shouldn’t just be some emotionless, unrelatable robot who never grows or changes throughout the story.

It wasn’t long before I realized it is my favorite Halo campaign. I was a little lost, not playing Guardians, so that’s next for me. Watching this helped me get my bearings, I for one appreciate your effort for taking the time to put this together. Even though you didn’t put this together for me personally, thank you.
Amazing! I absolutely enjoyed this! Thank you, guys! Much appreciated! ♥
Back to basics of halo original soldiers... Literally had to stolaway back into Canon,
Love it.
I love how it showed master chief at the start of the game hesitating when he seen his dead comrades gun. He wanted to be respectful and not loot the possessions of the dead but knew the mission could of depended on it so he took it. This is the first game they show master chief with emotion arguably. Any emotion in previous games were so dead Pan it was hard to tell you kind of just had to assume it’s what he felt. Now you just know, they humanized him x100 this game lol
I like it because in halo 4 Cortana asked chief to figure out if he was human or a machine. Paraphrasing of course because it’s been years since it came out and this is the first game that truly shows his humanity and it makes him so much more of a hero and great character. I’ll always love halo and the chief
Meanwhile I t bag unsc that I've betrayed and take their power weapons
I like the first body he passes, he holds it gently for a moment then carries on
Bruh..
In halo 3, master chief was sad for Johnson's death.. but as uk he can't show emotions as he was trained to b a super soldier with no humanity within. But even in halo 4 starting, master chief was still dead pan until cortana told chief to figure out who was the machine..
I love how chief slowly turning into human, while staying the same super soldier at the same time. But I also fear that this will b the reason for his death too
Eh. Making it mellow dramatic just like StarTrekSTD, kinda makes it a soap opera. Rather then a single man fighting a war.
Thank you for showing the important battles! This is awesome!
Thanks for posting, that was great
It really feels like this campaign feels reflective of 343's relationship with the fanbase. Especially with the whole Weapon and Chief storyline. It's a sincere story, and a pretty good one at that. I think I'm looking forward to what Infinite has in store in the future
It's one of the main things that brought Halo back to its roots. An AI/Master Chief co-op relationship. Along with having Master Chief look and act like he use to in the first 3 games. They made him way too over the top and not act like the real Chief in 4 & 5. This just had the feel of an OG Halo game.
@corey brooks wasn't talking to you, not interested in debating with someone whom is most likely a kid and has a narrow minded opinion.
@@dagger27 Personally I think 4's narrative was ok-ish for story line, if their intention was to show us the different side of Chief and his motivation in the future, but yeah then 5 just went rouge. Also this game is kinda unfriendly to the new fans, those who haven't played this franchise before or at least knew the lore probably will have a harder time figuring out what's going on.
@corey brooks You’re commenting on his comment though. 😂😂😂
@corey brooks For me it's a decent 8/10, the majority of the reviews and players' reactions are also positive. Everyone can have their own opinion tho
Echo 216: "We can't fight the entire banished army and stop them from firing the ring alone".
Cheif: *Flashbacks to when he destroyed the covenant and the flood in a single road trip around the galaxy* "Yeah we can. Just gotta find some weapons".
Facts tho
1:43:00 that whole sequence I got chills especially with the original soundtrack
Nice one, Subscribed. Please keep'em comin...
I love how this is the first game that very accurately shows you how heavy Chief is in his armor. The fight with Atriox shows how he pushed in the Warthog's wheel by being slammed into it, his foot steps are loud, after being sent through a tree he lands and still destroys the rock behind him by rolling into it, and my favorite is the sound que in 52:18. when he takes a knee.
cue
Very accurate? Halo has never accurately shown Spartan weight. It should be impossible for Elites to lift Spartans with one hand and yet they do all the time, which is complete bullshjt.
@@Main-Villain There's people in real life that can lift upwards of 800lb with their legs. It's not unreasonable to think elites weighing 300-400lb and towering over most humans at almost 7ft can lift that much with double joined legs. Also take into consideration when the elite lifted Emile that's more than reasonable considering spartan 3s don't weigh a ton like Chief because they're meant more for stealth and sting operations.
@@AgentNibbles Noble six is a command team so they've been fitted with Mjolnir armor. They weigh 1200-1400 lbs in total, which means that's a lot of weight just hanging of that 410lb elites arm. The elite that picked up Emile would've been too off balance to hold him up like that, even more so while he's swinging around.
I'm not saying they can't lift them, just the way we see in the games is entirely too unrealistic from a physics perspective
@@Main-Villain Its almost they nerfed Spartans because the original design was too op for the common enemy they designed. Otherwise there wouldnt be a challenge or reason why the spartans are losing lol One of those oops details. Spartans sounded cool as tanks until it conflicted
with the games action lol
Echo 216: "Have you ever been scared?"
Master Chief: " Thank god there is no flood here."
To bad Red Team can't say the same right now 😂
@@user-yu5db8ld9v where is Red Team?
@@princeharris2660 Red Team is aboard the Spirit of Fire fighting the flood/banished on the Ark
Cortana actually says to the Monitor: "You and I both know there are worse things than Flood here."
So, yea, there are flood there. And worse hahah
@@greygalaxy8638 if you read the lore theres loads of flood on zeta halo, technically the last city of the fore runners that lived past the halo firing is on zeta halo . it did have fore runners inside of it aswell
27:15 you dont understand how hyped i got when this theme hit holy mother of feels i was ready to kill some banished so hard
I had an absolute blast playing the campaign. Lots of action-packed fun, but emotional. That's what I love about this campaign.
23:01 “He did not specify in how many pieces 😈”
*immediately dies*
I really like how this game is showing us Chief's strenght and weight as he's a Spartan
Like at 6:38 we can see him just pulling the door like its some average sliding door but at 2:24 we see that The Pilot was struggling to open it
And at 52:18 we see Chief kneeing and the camera literally shakes. At 4:42 when he gets dropped down everything around moves
At 38:14 he breaks a tree by just falling, and then gets up like it was nothing
I like to imagine that, when Chief takes that knee, it's not just his physical weight that makes the camera shake.
It's the emotional weight. That weight that is weightless, but weighs you down nonetheless.
Echo specifically asks if Chief has ever been scared. So scared that he wants to turn tail and run. And I *hope* that his answer, to himself, was "Of course I have."
We all have this image of Chief being an immutable badass made of stone, but he is only human. Of course he has emotions, and of course he's felt fear. Fear far beyond the scope of anything we can imagine.
So, I hope that his answer, if he wanted to assure Echo, would have been "Of course I have."
@@yourdoom6554 ligma balls
and when the Harbinger launched him, his flying body shredded a tree and boulder along the way
I mean average spartan weights like half a ton
well im pretty sure hes easily over 1000lbs soooo.... Duh
Thanks a ton!
A legacy done right. Legendary.
Edit: At this point I'm more invested in the story than the game.
Then you don't know how to invest lol. Go back and play halo 1-3 then tell me infinite isnt trash.
@@TheZambrano52 This is about the cutscenes genius. If you're too stupid to get that, just shut up.
I love how Chief is very careful in the beginning with his fallen comrades so as not to deface their bodies.
But will nonchalantly drop a warthog on them at the FOBs
@@jackb3493 Yeah I might've accidentally dropped a scorpion on one... more than once...
But stabs a dead jackal in the neck, or whatever the hell he did.
@@MisterJohnDoe
fuck jackals, fuck grunts, fuck elites, fuck brutes and most importantly, fuck the covenant(I don't care if they're banished same thing)
@@jackb3493 They shouldn’t have stood under the tank that was falling from the sky then lol.
Thanks. Was a good watch
Man! This dope! Can't wait for the sequel
I love how the ending is them basically apologizing and asking for a chance ‘to rectify’ through Cortana’s words through the fans. Even when weapon chooses her name, she asks chief if it’s okay like as if 343 is asking us if it’s okay. I think they did a good job and learned from their mistakes (like Cortana said) and I think they’ll do a good job moving forward if they keep this up. I have not been excited for halo like this since Bungie left. Good work 343
For me Cortana will always be the most iconic AI, but it's time for the next gen to come and mark the difference.
"We're sorry for Halo 5. Have this"-343
@@mannysmith5397 You deserve it for staying by us for those long six years.
THey should've just made a better story around the first time, fucking idiots.
I’m very impressed to see that infinite’s campaign fixed a lot of things the previous games ruined without retconning a single one of them.
The opening scene is probs one of the best I've seen from halo in a while.
A badly choreographed fight with lore inconsistency is good to you?
@@Main-Villain It was very lore consistent. Atriox would have beaten mc no matter what. He is 100 times as strong as him. And is a lot smarter to.
@@acrayon3699 100x? Not even close buddy 👎.
@@Main-Villain bet you’re a destiny fan
@@Main-Villain Go outside and touch some grass you Twitter loving troll.
I haven't read Fall of Reach, The Flood, or First Strike in several years, but I really appreciate the little nods they left in this game. Red flag refers to the capture the flag games Chief and the other kids were made to compete in for training, 034 and Samuel refer to his friend Sam who he, John, and Kelly were in the same squad togehter; the original blue team. Several other tidbits from the books and other works were used, but still, shows they really took time and care making this story. I'm glad to see Halo making a comeback.
Actually no: RED FLAG was the name of the mission that Cortana and the Chief were supposed to embark upon to the Covenant homeworld when they first met. Operation: RED FLAG.
Chiefs response to every situation: “I need a weapon” lol
The amount of times the pilot opens the back to have all of his supplies flying away 😂
yeah happy im not the only one that noticed that
I thought "WHAT A WASTE!!".
Shouldve strapped it down after the second time! Lol
🤣 🤣 I was looking for this comment to see if anybody else was bothered by master chiefs lack of respect for people’s personal properties 🤣 made that poor guy have to go out and salvage to replace all that shit like 3 times in a matter of 3 days I would of been fucking pissed lmfao the next transmission would of said you lost all of my shit for the last time chief, I’m halfway home now your on your own 🤣
Should’ve kept it with him in the cockpit ig. But I still wanna know how this man can fly a pelican better than the entire UNSC Air Force
44:08 When chief doesn't vibrate from the turbulence but Echo shakes like crazy. What an absolute unit.
Wadiyatalkinabout
It's a pretty exciting idea really. They are rebooting the story without destroying the franchise, bringing back one of the most intimidating villains in Halo(I think Atriox is alive) thus opening the possibility to see Spirit of Fire, and giving us the chance to explore the story without having to recap the mistakes of Halo 4 & 5 we get to recap the AI war while finding the other Halo characters. Also instead of a love story I think we'll see a father and daughter bonding throughout the show, this would make it more touching to me. The daughter of Cortana and Chief.
After the let downs of 4 and 5, this game brought life back to the franchise. I enjoyed every second of it.
Imagine having the chance to finish the Master Chief and just dropping him off some ledge. This man has fallen from orbit and been fine.
He was koed in both instances and could’ve potentially died if he didn’t slow down his descent, spread his weight, and lock his armour.
Other Spartans have died in similar to lesser falls.
Granted those were armours from previous gens but I haven’t really seen anything from this new suit showing improved durability over others.
But… he could definitely survive the ledge fall.
@@CollegeBallYouknow just get more spartan core bruh
TWICE
As stated, the intent was never to kill Chief. It was to make him watch and float, helplessly
Hes the best flying brick, ever
1:04:45 I can’t be the only one who instantly recognized “034” and “Samuel”. Idk bout y’all else who did but I died a little inside when those were the codes for the failsafe
It's kinda sad, that the code , and stuff is off johns first spartan death... where he lost a friend or had his friend sarcrafice himself..
And “red flag” was the name of the mission they were on
25:40 The most adorable "Hi" ever, The Weapon/New Cortana is absolutely precious 😁🥰
Something people aren't talking about for some reason is when Echo 216 hands chief a sidekick with only 1 bullet in it, it seems to imply to me that he may have been saving it in case he decided to end his own life due to the isolation he experienced, which brings a whole different layer to the guilt he experiences later on when he admits to chief that he chose to flee and that he was not even a soldier
1:05:00 The confirmation word being "Samuel" is a nice reference to Samuel-034, which was one of Chief's squad members on Blue Team and the first spartan casualty iirc.
Yup. It was right after they got the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor. No energy shields in that model. Sam was original Blue team with Chief and Kelly.
I just love the chemistry between the main characters, phenomenal writing aswell as body language from Chief alone!
I like that how chief admires his enemies also he showed respect to echuram even when he was dying
This game was amazing idk why people hate this and the halo series it’s all amazing they just wish it was like the actual video game but they knew it was gonna change and they can’t stop it.
The infinite story as a mainline story is terrible
@@LostEnding_ it's really not, it's just scarred by the mess that was Halo 5. Halo 5 is the only game with a truly bad story and it's only because it was so unfocused and had too much irrelevant filler missions.
@@sorrenblitz805 Ok, tell me what the story of this game is then
@@LostEnding_investigate zeta halo, repel banished forces, stop the banished from unleashing the endless.
If the Endless can time travel, then I understand why the Forerunners fear them. If the Flood could infect the Endless, the Flood could devour every living thing throughout space and time.
I was worried after Halo 4 and 5, but I have to say that 343 knocked this out of the park. The story especially is new, but also familiar. It's reminiscent of the original Halos. Very good job.
This was vanilla as fuck, I honestly preferred 4 and 5 hoping for 6 to continue the story.
@@fota5406 the next few halo campaigns are definitely going to be in infinite.
@@fota5406 they did continue the story my guy this is all after the things that happened in 5 only actually good and easy to understand.
@@davidgutierrez3856
My guy. Non-Halo fans have no idea what the fuck is going on. The only thing this campaign did was have 343i bitterly retcon and kill off their own ideas. This isn't a continuation of Halo 5-this is a soft reboot.
@@LightAndDarkMdness02 true, but it's still better than 5 since it's easy to understand and it actually has interesting characters and plot, the banished and the harbinger make wonders for correcting the main mistakes in 5 hell the only way you could actually understand anything in 5 was through reading a shit ton of lore before that, you couldn't even get it from the get go and yet it was still barely a story to even consider a "story". plus unlike 5 this one actually builds interest in the halo universe while 5 barely does that.
Escharum charged me with no health left and i took him out with the last swing on jega’s energy sword, was epic
I used a rocket launcher briefly, but mainly I just shot him with my battle rifle and assault rifle. There was plenty of ammo for those along the walls of the room.
Is it just me or did anyone slightly tear up watching these and watching chief come back down to earth to help a man out
Seriously we need to see how the battle happened between the infinity and the banished.
Well we know it got struck by 4 different ships. Crazy to think it’s destruction took little more than 4 minutes.
From what i could ascertain, ambush
@KlazeGamez possibly ships made for destroying the infinity, and remember the AI were turning against humanity at the same time so the infinity was possibly damaged
i think theyre going to make some kind of dlc or expansion to the campaign along the road. that might be one of them along with the flood on the ark
@KlazeGamez It was the Infinity that ram a RCS-class armored cruiser during Halo 4. And it is only 2km long. Btw, Brutes seems have to develop much more weapons than during the Covenant-era. And the ship that ram Infinity looks designed for it, hammerhead bow on the front of the ship.
