Who DOESN'T love Rtas?! He's supposed to be the enemy, but the sheer respect and fatherly care he shows to his troops is simply remarkable. He cares for GRUNTS!
@Rtas Vadum The Shipmaster I know. That's why I said troops. His troops are Elites. No, not elites. They are Sangheli. I added that he cares for Grunts because so little do. Underestimating one's potential simply because of their race or physical stature has proven to be fatal.
@Paris Beck Grunts are often used as cannon fodders in the Covenant armed forces, Rtas's grunts are freaking SAS and the elites are Navy Seals, while Rtas and Arbiter alone are the spetznaz
"This armor suits you but it cannot hide the mark." So even after the title has become a symbol of failure and shame, Rtas still remembers what the Arbiters originally stood for.
This guy is the reason why I wasn’t scared to fight the flood when I was younger. That speech he gave before storming the quarantine zone inspired me to be fearless. Long live Rtas!
I hope he doesn't become one of the forgotten badasses of Halo, Rtas Vadum is just as badass as the Arbiter or Chief. think about it he fought his way out of the quarantine zone, survived the brutes, and traveled who knows how far to meet the Arbiter at the Control room to help him get in.
TheChildofAuraReborn Damn, i didn't even know that was why he was missing his mandibles. I guess that explains his personal interest in seeing the flood eradicated in Halo 3 :P
i agree 100% with you, and if you don't know there is an upcoming halo novel called ''Shadow of Intent" wich is the super carrier from halo 3 Lead by Rtas 'Vadum, i'm so excited :D
bubbajoe117 when he says, "this stench... I've smelled it before" It is because he had previously in countered the flood and barely survived against his flood second in command who was a swordsman, so in the fight he cut Rtas's mandibles off and criticaly injured him, but was killed.
Best Half-Jaw moment for me was in Halo 3: Random bridge elite: "Shipmaster, they outnumber us 3-1!" Rtas: "Then it is an even fight. Burn their mongrel hides!"
Bridge elite " Brute ships staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber by 3 to 1!" Rtas "then it is an even fight. All cruiser fire at Will, burn their mongrel hides!"
I mean after the fight the grunts put up during the grunt rebellion it wouldn't be surprised if they gained respect from the elites, especially the warriors like Rtas
@@cowboycolts he refers to a bit from the Halo Graphic Novel, Rtas has his unshielded unggoy use his elites for cover to keep them from getting infected by the Flood.
Yeah but not above him self and other elites he sends them in first when he is unsure of what lies ahead it's said they he fears the flood more than anything and I don't blame him
Also, I feel like R’Tas going with Thel would have actually been safer than staying behind to hold off the flood. Tartarus just wanted to insult the Elites at any given opportunity.
@@CT-9904-CrosshairThe Brutes wanted to usurp The Elites since New Mombasa after the Slipspace rupture there The Brutes were sent there to kill any surviving Elites left behind after Regret jumped away
I love the interaction Arbiter and Rtas had and Arbiter says “that makes two of us” when I was small child I always thought Arbiter was saying how Rtas doesn’t matter to him but he does care for the men, now I see it as Arbiter knowing his life is forfeited but that doesn’t mean everyone else’s is
Exactly. I only understood what he meant when I got much older. That it doesn’t matter that he can no longer command troops honourably into battle. Whether he was the arbiter or not. He would always put the lives of his comrades over his own. Made me respect Arby so much more
@@ItsMecurial Arby valued all of his comrades lives, and he probably even respected several humans, but he realized the importance of every member of the covenant, probably including the brutes who weren't fighting directly under tartarus.
Soccercrazyigboman badass yes, but not exactly a massive character within sangheili politics. Dont think he’s of the Vadam region anyway, which is where the arbiter is from (thel vadam)
Maybe 343 doesn't like his voice actor, Robert Davi. Maybes they thinks his political opinions have been too spicy, and they don't wanna get they supple hand juicy with current events. He is an awesome actor though. He's in predator 2, and there's actually a scene ,at the beginning of the movie, where he sounds just like shipmaster.
He is apart of the Swords of Sangheilios, he is off hunting remnants of the San' Shyuum(Prophets) and most likely Brutes for their betraying the Sangheili.
Robert Davi was perfect for that role. One of my favourite characters. It would be cool if he and the Arbiter made appearances again in any new games in the series
Makes me sad really. Imagine what they could’ve accomplished by that point had the elites not met the prophets. Reminds me of a quote from Assassins creed 4 “In a world without gold, we might’ve been hero’s!”
Best graphics over any game I don't care what anyone says, he'll the humans look like real movie actors almost. I loved his first speach the most. Love how the troops jump in as his says his thing.

It’s efficient and well-written dialogue, given the context of the scene. I believe previous lore even suggested that Thel was one of Rtas’ heroes, so Thel’s apparent heresy and failure to safeguard the first Halo was a double whammy of disappointment for Rtas.
That's not what Thel meant by saying 'that makes two of us' Thel meant that he didn't value his own life either, not that he didn't think Rtas's life mattered
@@dragoniccrab Yea I thought that way at first too, but when you think about it, it doesn't make sense for Thel to really dislike Rtas, considering he hasn't really done anything besides not have respect for Thel as a person
@@newwordblues3030It is intended to mean that their lives doesn't matter to Thel, this is a way to explain why the player may not care about their allies and may even kill them.
I blame the rise of Online Multiplayer. I play video games because I want to become a central character in a good story; and yet, it is clear to me that story became second banana to the multiplayer experience since 2011. While there are exceptions, I am still vexed about how I could create a single-player video game with a story as well-crafted as Red Dead Redemption 2, and with gameplay as revolutionary as Super Mario 64, yet have my feet held to the fire for no multiplayer.
Two years later and this comment is still on point. Rtas, Johnson, Thel, Lord Hood, Miranda Keyes... Right now I honestly can't think of a character from Halo 4 onward that has the same level of legacy that these other characters had.
SCOOT 2K4 Those who would break this oath are Heretics, worthy of neither pity, nor mercy! Even now they use our lords’ creations to broadcast their lies!
I'm really glad they redid that scene. It's one of my favorite 'Rtas scenes as well, and the remake gave it a lot more power. Another great scene from Halo 3: "Then it is an even fight. All cruisers fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!" Mo-ther-fu-cking awesome.
When we join the Covenant, we took an Oath: According to our station! All without exception! On the blood of our fathers, and the blood of our sons. We swore to uphold the Covenant. Even to our dying breath! Those who break this oath are heretics. Worthy of neither pity nor mercy. Even now, they use our lord's creations to broadcast their lies. We shall grind them into dust! And continue our march for glorious salvation!
I really like the new designs on the Sangheili Combat armor, and I wish it was in the multiplayer (I know it kinda is but it looks different, and "shiny" for some reason). Also I wish they added Elite Honor Guard armor for multiplayer too.

You got to love how Rtas went from "You could go an die for all I care Arbiter." To being shocked and relieved to see him again on the ring. Talk about character development.
Not to blame him too much but he probably didnt know they actually tried to kill him seeing as they didnt tell anyone the truth and only like 1 or 2 days have passed idek if 1 day even passed😅
R'tas has this certain swag and style in his walk and talk that just makes him so bad ass. He commands respect with his presence 🔥 excellent character that we miss and need back in Halo
@@alduinfryup, I really liked this scene because it showed a LOT of character development from Rtas and how he disliked Arbiter at first but basically became his righthand man. His speeches also go incredibly hard
It's weird seeing R'tas and Thel being a bit confrontational when you remember R'tas served in the Fleet of Particular Justice under Thel when he was supreme commander.
3:53 idk why, but this speech always stuck with me as one of my favourites. I've listened to it 28292929 times and I still feel inspired each time I love it. Incredible voice, music and scenery.
I love that Blur also added sounds to the Elites, the Arbiter bellowing in frustration at the Heretic 2:04 , the sound of their leathery skin as they move their heads and necks to greet each other 3:33 , and the Arbiter's "oh no" grunts at the approach of a possibly enemy Wraith 5:18
This armour suits you, but it cannot hide that mark. - the halo community to the freshly rebranded Halo Studios. I hope the redemption arc works just as well for them as it did for the Arbiter
Deuteronomy 28:43-44 says: The foreigners living among you will become stronger and stronger while you become weaker and weaker, they will lend money to you but you will have nothing to lend to them. They will be the head and you will be the tail.. If you refuse to listen to the lord your god, and to obey the commands and decrees he has given you, all this curses will pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed. These horrors will serve as a sign and as a warning among you and your descendants forever.. White Christian Americans are the elites being replaced!! OPEN YOUR EYES MY BROTHERS! The jews will lead us all to slaughter!!
On the blood of our fathers, in the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the covenant, "even to our dieing breath" that has to be on of the best lines in gaming\ entertainment ever
"You are the Arbiter, the will of the Prophets. But these are my Elites; their lives matter to me, yours does not." "That makes two of us." Man they just don't write dialogue like they used to anymore. This exchange hits so hard.
4:15 might just be my favorite cutscene in all of halo. Everything is coming to a head and the arbiter and Rtas just show how deeply they are questioning their faith with just their tone and facial expressions.

and mr mohawk said "that coward didn't join you" while sitting safely on his phantom
@@alduinfryup, I really liked this scene because it showed a LOT of character development from Rtas and how he disliked Arbiter at first but basically became his righthand man. His speeches also go incredibly hard
It's weird seeing R'tas and Thel being a bit confrontational when you remember R'tas served in the Fleet of Particular Justice under Thel when he was supreme commander.
Understandable. It always came across as a vibe check to me.
Is it just me or are the graphics in this version a little too good?
Agreed,they match real life or better and if you haven't seen the entire halo 2 game movie with these graphics watch it
I love it
:3
pvpancakez I wish the elites in halo 5 looked like this instead of the new ones
my god they would be a lot better totally agree
Man the elites sounded and spoke so elegantly in this, it makes the halo 4 and 5 ones sound like discount brutes.
If you have subtitles on around 3:24 you see "I shall slay your decision to the council" :)
1:02
Rtas: Hmmph
Translation: you aight lil nigga
3:33 ay whats good witchu ma nigga
3:53 idk why, but this speech always stuck with me as one of my favourites. I've listened to it 28292929 times and I still feel inspired each time I love it.
Incredible voice, music and scenery.
“We shall grind them into dust” - my nightly prayer
I love the white armor. You just know he high ranking.
Girls locker room: Hey Jessica can you get my bra?
Boys locker room:
This may in fact be the best boys locker room joke ever
LMFAO
I have NEVER laughed this hard at a boy's locker room joke before. Mad kudos

I love that Blur also added sounds to the Elites, the Arbiter bellowing in frustration at the Heretic 2:04 , the sound of their leathery skin as they move their heads and necks to greet each other 3:33 , and the Arbiter's "oh no" grunts at the approach of a possibly enemy Wraith 5:18
The whole elites special forces angle is really cool. Those first two games were something special back in the day.
I showed this to my dad's girlfriend and she genuinely thought this was from a blockbuster movie
There comes a time in every Halo player's life where they must admit that Rtas and Johnson are the best characters.
Shipmaster they out number us 20 to 1
Shipmaster: then it's a even fight
Rtas is the embodiment of a great leader. He knows how to rally an army.
Really want a cinematic movie to release
This armour suits you, but it cannot hide that mark. - the halo community to the freshly rebranded Halo Studios. I hope the redemption arc works just as well for them as it did for the Arbiter
“I shall relay your…decision to the council”
We all know he wanted to say mistake
"YOU are the Arbiter, the Will of the Prophets, but these are MY elites. Their lives matter to me, yours does not."
"That makes two of us."
Deuteronomy 28:43-44 says: The foreigners living among you will become stronger and stronger while you become weaker and weaker, they will lend money to you but you will have nothing to lend to them. They will be the head and you will be the tail.. If you refuse to listen to the lord your god, and to obey the commands and decrees he has given you, all this curses will pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed. These horrors will serve as a sign and as a warning among you and your descendants forever..
White Christian Americans are the elites being replaced!! OPEN YOUR EYES MY BROTHERS! The jews will lead us all to slaughter!!
That "we shall grind them into dust" just sounds so powerful
I can't get over how good these cutscenes are!!
Man Halo 2 had me rooting for the elites more than the humans
Feel bad for arbiter he had everything stripped from him, his rank his armour, his fleet and even his own name
I love 'Vadum's voice it's so cool
How the Elites are able to speak with that mouth is still a mistery xD
On the blood of our fathers, in the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the covenant, "even to our dieing breath" that has to be on of the best lines in gaming\ entertainment ever

Those who would break this oath are Heretics, worthy of neither pity, nor mercy!
One of my favorite characters from Halo. I'd also like to take a sec and note how beautiful the soundtrack is.
Would love to hear theses guys talk in there own language
Watch Halo Infinity
Jul'Mdama speaks in Sangheili to Gek'Lhar on the Spartan ops cutscenes. Look up Jul'Mdama on RUclips and you can find his cutscenes with the Sangheili
word word word
Rtas Vadum they sound like shit though
@@stephenking5852 Talking about the halo 2 elites specifically.
Halo 2 anniversary elites always reminds me the velociraptor in Jurassic park
Halo 2 had so many big actors doing voice over work.
Minute 3:45 is me and the boys getting ready to find toilet paper at Costco
I shall relay your... *DECISION* ... to the council.
Such delivery.
Rtas quickly gained back respect for Thel
"You are the Arbiter, the will of the Prophets. But these are my Elites; their lives matter to me, yours does not."
"That makes two of us."
Man they just don't write dialogue like they used to anymore. This exchange hits so hard.
"That makes two of us" I feel like that was underrated even if it's highly praised.
Halo Infinite need him.
4:15 might just be my favorite cutscene in all of halo. Everything is coming to a head and the arbiter and Rtas just show how deeply they are questioning their faith with just their tone and facial expressions.
Oh god his voice!--- I feel like he is a Angel of the gods of the great journey!
Rtas is a true gigachad.
Halo has the best voice acting in video game history imo..
Dude Blur Studios did an outstanding job on these cutscenes, holy crap
The voice drop when Rtas tells Thel that "these are MY elites" always gets me
