If you’re playing with a controller you can feel Spartan’s griffin heartbeat slowly fading away, it took me a second to knew what what going to happen to him
There is nothing harder than someone like master chief delivering the line. "Consider it done." Just the sheer amount of well earned self confidence in his ability.
The way he cuts off what the weapon was saying, not responding to it, just getting her and going. It hit me hard today. At first I really thought we might save him or something, but realized I was wrong.
Tbh I thought he passed out, it wasnt clear at first he was dead. I also went back later in the story to satiate my curiosity and his body was gone lmao
I noticed that, once this happened, Chief went back to being robotic for a while again. My understanding is that he now knew he was the last one left who could make this happen and the only hope for humanity again, so he had to set aside his emotions and become the beacon of hope again. Or, as I like to call it, going back to work.
Anyone else find it kind of amusing that, while Spartan Griffith was being tortured, presumably for info at some point, he ended up talking like he got information out of the elite and his banished cohorts before dying? Badass.
Yeah that made me feel too much. Lol once I realized, man. Related note, I wonder how familiar MC was with the newer Spartans on a social basis between missions.
Well I don't remember where the scene was from but there was one where cheif made it clear that he wanted protect those around him and he said it in a way that made it seem like a personal thing so maybe this was more personal than we realized.
He's finally taking Cortana's advice, he's slowly letting his human side come out, normally he's got the emotions of a brick (hehe) but here, he's finally learning to show emotion again, and seeing chief like that makes me tear up. It's good to have you back chief.
@@ulyssesdiaz7651 I know, but he's never really embraced it like this, except the Halo 4 ending, it just seems like he cares now, but I think it's mainly because technology has advanced in consoles and what not, and now they can show that side of chief we never really get to see.
Rip to all spartans who died, They all didnt go down without a fight with bodies of brutes, elites, and grunts around them. There is even one spartan who went down with a screw driver with his hand which he used as a weapon. You redeemed yourselves Spartan 4s, rest in peace
And there were a literal fuck ton of bodies near him, pretty sure the most of all the MIA Spartans you find. Guess he wasn't a special weapons master for nothing.

Fun fact this isn't the first spartan John has seen die, not by a longshot. This is the first one where the player shares in his grief at seeing a fellow spartan die. Thank God Kelly didn't see this, she took Sam's death very bad and was the most emotional of the Spartan-IIs. John has seen the deaths of Sam-034, Will, Grace, he's seen Linda get mortally wounded. And he's seen the Fall of Reach first-hand.
I think Jorge is one of the most emotional, as in hes compassionate for people as you see when he talks with the farmers and the grieving daughter in Reaches first mission. Dude even requests a grief counsellor for her in the middle of war
@@jdemery9235 Chief feels sympathy and anger for even basic marines. But the reason he reacts this way to any Spartan (I through IV) is because they understand somewhat of what he has gone through. Obviously he reacts the most to Spartan II but I can definitely see him reacting this way to a Spartan IV.
@@jdemery9235 I mean, Chief cares for everyone he fights alongside. Spartan-IIs, IIIs, IVs ODSTs Hell, during his first encounter with flood infected marines, he was (albeit briefly) unwilling to fight them because he thought there was a way to help them.
John always took the deaths of comrades to heart, most notably during the Fall of Reach. But for someone that most would expect to be a lone wolf, John always valued teamwork, and his allies. By Infinite he's in his mid to late forties, literally half of his life spent fighting, he's lost a lot.
Yeah, John is and will always be in his Physical prime thanks to his augmentations. It's confirmed in Shadow's of Reach that he is age 47. It is also said in the Spartan Field manual(Albeit for Spartan IV's), that Spartan lifespans can exceed that of a century by their fighting days alone.
@@aniksolaris You called a Master Chief Petty Officer just a Chief Petty Officer. Master Chief is two ranks above Chief. It’s considered highly disrespectful to call a Master Chief just Chief. Chief
I found it so sad that after chief said “consider it done” the vibration in my controller immediately started to go down. It was almost like once griffin gave chief the intel he was ready to die
He also left an inexperienced spartan to take charge of the UNSC camp that his team set up. He should’ve known better than to risk a daring operation to kill escharum.
The loss of a Spartan is the loss of a brother and sister to chief. Everyone one lost brings him closer t to be the last, and when he is, I'm afraid whatever was holding him together will evaporate and if he doesn't retire his weapon, he may just disappear entirely, likely hoping to die alone and in obscurity
"You're safe now. Consider it done. I'll find them." The only things he told Spartan Griffin. Chief didn't investigate to get more intel as Griffin did his best to provide intel in his final moments. Chief gave him confront in his way: No one's going to hurt you anymore, I'll finish the mission on your behalf, and I'll find the Spartans (even though he knew what happened to some of them already). Probably gave Griffin the peace he needed to pass away and let go.
Well that would ruin the Halo cash cow that Microsoft has so that would be foolish for them to do that. Of course, I never saw them sabotaging Cortana the way they did either.
I considered the moment when Chief promised Griffin that he'd find the others that this was his way of making up the mistake Chief blames himself for: Chief in my view blames himself for what happened on the Infinity, and in this case he blames himself for not being able to save Griffin's life. That silent stare he gives can give a lot, especially when left to one's own interpretation.
I don't really know if he blame himself, it's more that he lived this situation countless times, with Johnson, Miranda, Cpt Keyes, Foehammer and all his Spartans brothers/sisters who fell, even for the marines who followed him through thick and thin I do believe he is crushed by the immense pressure he put on himself because, he feel responsible for all his fellow marines and especially the Spartans from Gen-II to IV, because they are the same in the end, they sacrificed themselves voluntary or not to serve and protect humanity, always putting the greater good and the objectives over their own lives) and master chief is wearing the burden of their sacrifices knowing he can't stop fighting even against all odds because if he would stop, it would make their deaths meaningless, he's also humanity last resort and greatest champion, almost all humans look up to him when things are hopeless, Master Chief beyond the soldier or even John 117, is a symbol of courage and resilience for all mankind.
After years upon years of fighting Covenant, Brutes, Forerunner machines, and impossible odds...the Chief NEVER gave them a chance to win. This game brings out the deepest feels that we've been longing for. You can feel what he feels, better yet...you have control of how he will finish the mission. Whether it's straight to the point...or preferably...brutal...
been raiding and destroying every.single.Banished outpost I can find in one region before moving on to the next that contains the continuation of the main story, then doing that and repeat, clear out the region, move on the next.
I love this scene right there, just like Captain Lasky said on Halo 4: "They're not just machines, they're just people." Master Chief is finally showing his human side again.
I think he knew any Spartans he found would be dead, just like the first 2 he came across. Obviously he didn’t wanna tell Griffin that as he was dying though, so he lied and said ‘consider it done’
There’s none so far in that ring.There are few spartan IV’s left alive. Most of S4’s in the infinity died due to the banished spartan hunters. Plus Cortana destroyed the S4 training facility with its candidates still inside. UNSC is just dust and echoes now.
@@ItsDolos There is at least one from audio logs who is confirmed to be alive by the time of his last recording, Spartan Horvath. He is stuck on his own for most of the time and eventually escapes to a different section of the ring where the Banished apparently aren't as concentrated when he loses contact with all other UNSC signals in the area. He is going to feature in a book coming out next year, so we will learn more about him soon.
One of my favourite scenes in all of Halo. Chief has no face, but the thousand-mile stare at Griffin, the disbelief, the pain,the sadness and the anger is all in full display....WITHOUT A FACE. We know he is the quiet type, but here we can tell he was truly speechless. The music just elevates it, the Weapon being speechless, the desperate cry from Echo-216, absolutely perfect. Whoever wrote this scene was a genius. Not one scene anywhere has shown Chief's human side better than this one.
It's sort of a call back to The Fall of Reach when some of John's fellow Spartan classmates died during the augmentation procedures. It set a heavy tone for him, along with everyone else who were very upset to lose their brothers and sisters before they even graduated as Spartans. John was never a total machine, he's just a fantastic soldier.
@@fishnutz5196 nah cortana is better since she’s not constantly being funny every single time. Only reason why I like the weapon is that some lines are good.
I don't know whether it's the video or not, but when Chief said "I will find them", he was intensely shivering from surpressing his rage. If that's really what 343 wanted to let us see, then well done
Not just Spartans, he deeply cared for everyone under his command: Spartans, marines, ODSTs, civilians. F*ck, even in one comic, he had to ally with insurrectionists and after ONI leaved them behind Chief was very angry at ONI because he those soldiers helped him.
i played this on xbox, and when the controller was vibrating to his heart beat, slowing down and becoming erratic before fading away really made this scene hit different.
I love that you can tell what Chief is feeling here when Griffin dies. He's pissed off and even that was worrisome to the Weapon. He never spoke, but him staring at Griffin's body and his posture says it all. Nothing is more terrifying then a pissed off Spartan.
One of John’s best qualities is that his confidence and faith in others inspires the people around him to do their best. Griffin’s line, “it’s you...” was almost in disbelief that John actually rescued him. He held on long enough to hear that John was going to help the others. That little bit of hope was enough to give him peace.
@@Genesongx I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that after Finding Isabel they started Catching up with the times, and so Red team have at Least Mark IV Gen 2, I could be wrong Though
This scene and the music playing. Just quality stuff from 343. Making the player feel the weight of Masterchief’s grief even though he can only allow himself to feel it for a few seconds and must continue the fight.
I love how the beat comes in after he says “it’s time to go” to the weapon, because when it happened I felt like he was about to get some payback on the covenant in a way for doom slayer wood be proud of. Sad we only knew Griffin for a short time before he went missing hope we find them soon.
Fuck me man this scene hits differently. It’s brilliantly written. The way Chief so carefully and lightly touches the shoulder with only his fingertips. His sense of duty elevating with the realization of greater loss. The fact that we see the Spartan die _only_ in Chief’s visor. And last, but most definitely not least, the fact that Chief becomes so intensely grief-stricken that he not only goes radio silent but ceases all muscle movement, unintentionally tricking the pilot into thinking he went down. He doesn’t even wanna discuss it afterwards, dodging Weapon’s questions with “it’s time to go.”
Chiefs first friend Sam 034 during the fall of reach dying came to mind here. That was the first time chief lost someone very close to him, a brother & a spartan. Since then he’s lost a lot of good friends but this came flooding back into my head when I saw this scene. Topped with the controller pulsating with Griffiths heartbeat & then it slowly fading away was tough. Grew up on Halo & God this was a powerful scene.
The is emotional, but watching it while holding the controller almost brought a tear to my eye. The controller vibrates in Rhythm with the spartan’s heart-beat, and you slowly feel it fade out.
When you play this mission with an controller, it vibrates along with spartan griffin's heart beat, and it just slowly fades away. The story and game play is so great that I almost forget how this game is still so barebone that it won't let you replay missions
I remember when Spartans 4s first came out, we all hated them and called them Knock off Spartans. I’m happy to say they’ve earned themselves a place among the legends. Rip Spartan 4s.
I think it's pretty cool how jen taylor has changed 'the weapon' voice to where she sounds like a young teenager type where she's always had cortana be a more adult sounding voice.
After losing so many fellow marines, watching world after world burn. Seeing the horror of the Flood. Watching those he deeply cared about like Johnson die, and then losing Cortana. Chief has to be sick and tired of losing people over this stupid and pointless war over these rings. It's finally starting to really get to him and I love how 343 has allowed Chief to show this more.
It’s really painful man. Spartans are like the best Humanity has to offer, and Master Chief IS the best they can offer. And a legend like him seeing other Spartans fall is very sad. Not only are they the best of humanity, but they’re going missing. Man I gotta play this campaign.
Even as a Four, where many Threes and surviving Twos thought were subpar, glory-filled inexperienced replacements, this paints against that narrative in a strikingly humanizing way for someone who is just learning to embrace who they’ve always been: Human.
For those who don’t know, when Griffin dies, your controller will vibrate to his fading heart beat. Infinite may have dropped the ball in some areas, but when it works, it hits hard.
Chief isnt gaining his humanity if you read the books, you know that spartans kind of treat eachother like their own alien race. Spartans love eachother in a different way than they love others. chief seeing a spartan die is like watching his little brother die. Its takes an extreme mental toll on a spartans mental health, some spartans even committed suicide. This scene fucks me up. because this is heart wrenching for a spartan. Its not about chief showing his humanity. in fact that was done with Echo. thats why hes there. This kind of pain is on a whole different level.
The music right after Chief takes The Weapon literally sounds like the Doom soundtrack kicking in, I wish there were a horde of enemies to fight through with the music
No. As a massive Doom fan since the original. I don't want that fucker anywhere near my Halo, even if it has to do with him thinking like him. This weird thought process needs to stop. Doomguy is nothing, just a killing machine. No thoughts. Just you and a gun and a love for his pet rabbit Daisy.
I’ve always thought that the fact that we’ve never seen MC full face is better. I would never want to see his face because the emotionless helmet gives us a lot to interpretate, we can imagine what his expression is because it is probably our same expression, we give chief his face, we with our imagination can forge the expressions of chief and i like this A LOT.
the first cutscene with spartan griffin i consider one of my favorite in all of the halo games it blew my mind first time i saw it from the controller vibration to the music and the fact that nothing is said by chief but the visuals say it all from the worry the sad and the anger with a little bit of that light at the end of the tunnel the hope. still get the tingles watching it for like the millionth time now.
The Spartan Audio Logs, tell an awesome story, taking place six months before Infinite. SPARTANs Griffin, Vettel, Horvath, Sorel, Makovich, Kovan, and many more are simply awesome. Obviously there are more Spartans on the ring, the UNSC Infinity had a complement of 145+ Spartan-IVs.
If you’re playing with a controller you can feel Spartan’s griffin heartbeat slowly fading away, it took me a second to knew what what going to happen to him

@@fox812us Calling a Master Chief just Chief is career suicide. Have you been in the Navy? Chief Mess is a cult where they take that stuff seriously
@@lightyagami8377 you seem like the type of guy to do anime moves in the middle of lunch
After years upon years of fighting Covenant, Brutes, Forerunner machines, and impossible odds...the Chief NEVER gave them a chance to win. This game brings out the deepest feels that we've been longing for. You can feel what he feels, better yet...you have control of how he will finish the mission. Whether it's straight to the point...or preferably...brutal...
been raiding and destroying every.single.Banished outpost I can find in one region before moving on to the next that contains the continuation of the main story, then doing that and repeat, clear out the region, move on the next.
I love this scene right there, just like Captain Lasky said on Halo 4: "They're not just machines, they're just people." Master Chief is finally showing his human side again.
You can see the emotions on Master Chief’s face even he’s wearing a helmet
@@avatar5811 Maybe one day Chief will take off his helmet and we'll see his face in the next future DLCs

I would like but it’s at 117 likes lol
I hope there will be Spartans you can actually save.
Can't be to many left at this rate
I think he knew any Spartans he found would be dead, just like the first 2 he came across. Obviously he didn’t wanna tell Griffin that as he was dying though, so he lied and said ‘consider it done’
@@flanagamer the "consider it done" part was referring to the dig site through
There’s none so far in that ring.There are few spartan IV’s left alive. Most of S4’s in the infinity died due to the banished spartan hunters. Plus Cortana destroyed the S4 training facility with its candidates still inside. UNSC is just dust and echoes now.
@@ItsDolos There is at least one from audio logs who is confirmed to be alive by the time of his last recording, Spartan Horvath. He is stuck on his own for most of the time and eventually escapes to a different section of the ring where the Banished apparently aren't as concentrated when he loses contact with all other UNSC signals in the area. He is going to feature in a book coming out next year, so we will learn more about him soon.
The soundtrack is absolutely amazing and fits perfectly with this scene. I can’t get over how good the strings sound as Chief stands there in silence.
What is the name of this soundtrack???
@@sekay8046 it's called "Endless."
I played endless but it felt shorter and it didn’t have the low pitched voice vocals
@@pan9453 same here
One of my favourite scenes in all of Halo. Chief has no face, but the thousand-mile stare at Griffin, the disbelief, the pain,the sadness and the anger is all in full display....WITHOUT A FACE. We know he is the quiet type, but here we can tell he was truly speechless. The music just elevates it, the Weapon being speechless, the desperate cry from Echo-216, absolutely perfect. Whoever wrote this scene was a genius. Not one scene anywhere has shown Chief's human side better than this one.
It was probably Joseph Staten
It's sort of a call back to The Fall of Reach when some of John's fellow Spartan classmates died during the augmentation procedures. It set a heavy tone for him, along with everyone else who were very upset to lose their brothers and sisters before they even graduated as Spartans. John was never a total machine, he's just a fantastic soldier.
That spartan didn't die, he just went missing in action.
Fun fact: the remote vibrated in sync with the Spartans heartbeat. Slowly fading and slowing as he died. Really well done
Cortanas copy is such a boss lol
that snap 😂😂
Honestly i enjoy her more than Cortana. Iv played since CE back in 01 and just from 1 campaign alone i like Weapon more
@@fishnutz5196 nah cortana is better since she’s not constantly being funny every single time. Only reason why I like the weapon is that some lines are good.
I would of liked an actual fucking name for her other than "the weapon". It's kinda lazy
@@cosmicgrim7963 well wants t she just made to delete cortana. And isn’t she like a prototype to cortana. Idk seems fitting
This scene had more emotion than all of halo 5 guardians put together …
What
he may be covered by a helmet and visor but you know damm well how he felt throughout this whole scene and that final silence is just so well done
After all this time, I’m glad that the story still remember Chief is human when everything is said and done.
I don't know whether it's the video or not, but when Chief said "I will find them", he was intensely shivering from surpressing his rage. If that's really what 343 wanted to let us see, then well done
Time stamp 1:15
noticed it too. It's the kind you get when you try to suppress emotions
1:47 The moment I cried and shut off the video. So badass, I can't explain

A moment of silence for a fellow soldier.

This broke my heart trying to bust into this tower was hard enough as is but i was hoping to walk out with another spartan at my side
its sad in the lore chief worked with this spartan and his fireteam
It's cause of the helmet we can't see chief's actual emotion, but his actions spoke out well what was going inside while seeing one of his brother die
His instant need to avenge griffin shows how much of a good guy he is, and that he never let's any fellow Spartans behind
If you r read or seen fall of reach you can see where that started
Not just Spartans, he deeply cared for everyone under his command: Spartans, marines, ODSTs, civilians. F*ck, even in one comic, he had to ally with insurrectionists and after ONI leaved them behind Chief was very angry at ONI because he those soldiers helped him.
i played this on xbox, and when the controller was vibrating to his heart beat, slowing down and becoming erratic before fading away really made this scene hit different.
Rest in peace Spartan Griffin
Yo, this has 117 likes!
I have to avoid liking this
If we fight the Banished we do it for the Spartans they killed
Griffin worrying about his team until the very end speak so much to him as a leader
I love that you can tell what Chief is feeling here when Griffin dies. He's pissed off and even that was worrisome to the Weapon. He never spoke, but him staring at Griffin's body and his posture says it all. Nothing is more terrifying then a pissed off Spartan.
One of John’s best qualities is that his confidence and faith in others inspires the people around him to do their best. Griffin’s line, “it’s you...” was almost in disbelief that John actually rescued him. He held on long enough to hear that John was going to help the others. That little bit of hope was enough to give him peace.
It’s crazy that chief really is the only Spartan able to make an impact in this war and the only other one that could is dead
Is Griffin the only other one?
I think Jerome could also be considered hyperlethal if he wasn't floating 28 years in space with an obsolete armor

This scene and the music playing. Just quality stuff from 343. Making the player feel the weight of Masterchief’s grief even though he can only allow himself to feel it for a few seconds and must continue the fight.

I love how the beat comes in after he says “it’s time to go” to the weapon, because when it happened I felt like he was about to get some payback on the covenant in a way for doom slayer wood be proud of.
Sad we only knew Griffin for a short time before he went missing hope we find them soon.
Appreantly you'll know him longerish if you collect all the audio recordings.
Fuck me man this scene hits differently. It’s brilliantly written. The way Chief so carefully and lightly touches the shoulder with only his fingertips. His sense of duty elevating with the realization of greater loss. The fact that we see the Spartan die _only_ in Chief’s visor.
And last, but most definitely not least, the fact that Chief becomes so intensely grief-stricken that he not only goes radio silent but ceases all muscle movement, unintentionally tricking the pilot into thinking he went down.
He doesn’t even wanna discuss it afterwards, dodging Weapon’s questions with “it’s time to go.”
Sad to see that spartan 4 passed away
*Look and see "Spartan" Locke dying........*
It so said to see a SPARTAN passing away
I’ve killed so many in halo 4 lol
@@Kurama420
We will NEVER talk about Locke, he's a Glorified Lapdog.
Unlike the rest of the Spartans.
@@CEBph5997 why does everyone hate Locke so much? He was simply following orders when he hunted Chief and Blue Team.
@@TrueGamer-hn2ic It's not that he so much asbhunted Chief, it's that the story is a comeplte fucking mess. Just search up "Act Man Halo 5"
I know this gave him flashbacks of reach
Cortana and Lasky finally got through to him. Your humanity doesn't make you weak it makes you better
Chiefs first friend Sam 034 during the fall of reach dying came to mind here. That was the first time chief lost someone very close to him, a brother & a spartan. Since then he’s lost a lot of good friends but this came flooding back into my head when I saw this scene. Topped with the controller pulsating with Griffiths heartbeat & then it slowly fading away was tough. Grew up on Halo & God this was a powerful scene.
Don't forget noble six.
How we feel chief in this scene is unreal. The man has a helmet on, yet we too feel responsible for his death….
1:51 this is a grunt horror movie. just the way the camera slowly shows chief looking very mad.
Sad*
The is emotional, but watching it while holding the controller almost brought a tear to my eye. The controller vibrates in Rhythm with the spartan’s heart-beat, and you slowly feel it fade out.
3:57 The Weapon becomes Thanos
I really didn’t expect this level of character interaction in Halo Infinite, this caught me off guard in the best way possible.
We just lost another Spartan Team
Humanity seems to be in dire straits
I know we’re losing, I want to know if we’ve lost.
considering how the new Spartans are the new generation, I feel like chief lost something like a little brother.
The music in this scene alone is so good. It's like a haunting but uplifting tone- I loved this scene so much
A Spartan 4 who went down a hero, like their forerunners before them. Well earned, well earned.
I just got past that scene and so far this campaign is absolutely awesome. Steve Downes delivers Chiefs lines so oerfectly
The score to this scene is unbelievable.... Gives so much emotional impact
around 2:04 ypu can here doom music in the background, you know hes angry.
When you play this mission with an controller, it vibrates along with spartan griffin's heart beat, and it just slowly fades away. The story and game play is so great that I almost forget how this game is still so barebone that it won't let you replay missions
His death is more personal to chief than other because they got on well together. You can tell by the audio logs
I think he mad. He angy!!!
I remember when Spartans 4s first came out, we all hated them and called them Knock off Spartans. I’m happy to say they’ve earned themselves a place among the legends. Rip Spartan 4s.
I like how the first thing griffin does when he gets released is telling master chief all the info he knows. What a good soldier
It’s crazy that even without being able to see chiefs face, just the slight tilt of his head after spartan Griffin dies tells you how pissed he is.
That was a powerful moment. They communicated a lot with lighting and silence
The fact that Griffin got more information from his captors than they got from him tells you a lot about Spartans
I think it's pretty cool how jen taylor has changed 'the weapon' voice to where she sounds like a young teenager type where she's always had cortana be a more adult sounding voice.
In the time that master chief goes silent you can feel the rage he has for what the banished did to his fellow spartans
When I realized that my vibrating controller was Griffins heartbeat, I cried a little when it flatlined.
After losing so many fellow marines, watching world after world burn. Seeing the horror of the Flood. Watching those he deeply cared about like Johnson die, and then losing Cortana. Chief has to be sick and tired of losing people over this stupid and pointless war over these rings. It's finally starting to really get to him and I love how 343 has allowed Chief to show this more.
Rest easy 🕊Spartan Griffin
If the Banished hadn’t figured out by this point why Chief was known among the Covenant as “The Demon,” they’re about to find out.
*The hard way.*
It’s really painful man. Spartans are like the best Humanity has to offer, and Master Chief IS the best they can offer.
And a legend like him seeing other Spartans fall is very sad. Not only are they the best of humanity, but they’re going missing.
Man I gotta play this campaign.
I love that these Spartans look after their own.
Even as a Four, where many Threes and surviving Twos thought were subpar, glory-filled inexperienced replacements, this paints against that narrative in a strikingly humanizing way for someone who is just learning to embrace who they’ve always been: Human.
The worst part nobody talks about how the controller runbles to his heart beat till the very end
For those who don’t know, when Griffin dies, your controller will vibrate to his fading heart beat. Infinite may have dropped the ball in some areas, but when it works, it hits hard.
Man why does Master Chief being so kind and gentle with other Spartans make him look like a father… is he the father of all Spartans?
Chief isnt gaining his humanity if you read the books, you know that spartans kind of treat eachother like their own alien race. Spartans love eachother in a different way than they love others. chief seeing a spartan die is like watching his little brother die. Its takes an extreme mental toll on a spartans mental health, some spartans even committed suicide.
This scene fucks me up. because this is heart wrenching for a spartan. Its not about chief showing his humanity. in fact that was done with Echo. thats why hes there.
This kind of pain is on a whole different level.
You can actually feel his heartbeat get slower and slower if you play this with a controller
The music right after Chief takes The Weapon literally sounds like the Doom soundtrack kicking in, I wish there were a horde of enemies to fight through with the music
He seen and experienced so many death and taken many lives by now that you would think he won't make big deal about another one dying.
You can just tell that somewhere in the Green giants head, he's feeling exactly how doomslayer is
There's a slight difference.
Master Chief showed human emotion
And the Doom Slayer completely lost his shit and decided to kill f*cking god
No. As a massive Doom fan since the original. I don't want that fucker anywhere near my Halo, even if it has to do with him thinking like him.
This weird thought process needs to stop.
Doomguy is nothing, just a killing machine. No thoughts. Just you and a gun and a love for his pet rabbit Daisy.
Paramount+ :"How would people understand Chief's emotions while his helmet is on?" - LIKE THAT
0:23 kinda looks like Griffin is smiling like hes knows chief is about to finish the fight
3:55 i love the weapon's attitude 😩
I’ve always thought that the fact that we’ve never seen MC full face is better. I would never want to see his face because the emotionless helmet gives us a lot to interpretate, we can imagine what his expression is because it is probably our same expression, we give chief his face, we with our imagination can forge the expressions of chief and i like this A LOT.
the first cutscene with spartan griffin i consider one of my favorite in all of the halo games it blew my mind first time i saw it from the controller vibration to the music and the fact that nothing is said by chief but the visuals say it all from the worry the sad and the anger with a little bit of that light at the end of the tunnel the hope. still get the tingles watching it for like the millionth time now.
I love well written Chief is here, he considers every soldier family and treats them as such
Someone tell Pablo Schreiber that this is how you show emotion without taking a helmet off.
The Spartan Audio Logs, tell an awesome story, taking place six months before Infinite. SPARTANs Griffin, Vettel, Horvath, Sorel, Makovich, Kovan, and many more are simply awesome. Obviously there are more Spartans on the ring, the UNSC Infinity had a complement of 145+ Spartan-IVs.
I feel some kind of way and these are spartan 4s but damn he gave good intel. True warrior to the end
