Gotta love how when the elites stand up to square up with Johnson the marines stand up too. Guys wouldn't have won a fist fight with elites but weren't gonna let Johnson take lumps lol.
@@backyardfreestyle2390 To sum it up briefly, Rtas was on a mission that went to shit when the Flood showed up, wiping out his whole squad, including a very old friend of his who was also an incredibly skilled Swordsman like him. His friend became a Flood Form and retained his memory of his fighting skill, and the two battled for a while and it ended with Rtas getting half his mandibles sliced off, and he had to kill his old friend. That is putting it very simply but that about sums it up.
@@Tuxedo512Nah, our boy master chief is still on the Dawn - fast asleep. Still waiting for Cortana to wake him up from this terrible dream he’s been having since 2007… hell of a coma… 🥲
Johnson carrying 3 Covenant weapons, and Arbiter carrying 2 UNSC weapons, and everyone looking confused out of their minds as the two walk passed each other nonchalantly. Powerful moment in Halo 3, and my overall favorite halo moment.
I’m playing rn, I freaken love this scene, Johnson’s thinking damn I knocked out Tartarus (tartarsauce) aka mr Mohawks shield out with this baby, ima need a whole crate........
Not just that. Johnson’s got Plasma Carbines and Beam Rifles, while Arbiter’s carrying a Rocket Launcher and a Flamethrower. These two know the deal and aren’t shying from the fact the other has better weapons for different situations. Not here to debate it, just what these two think are better weapons.
"Well this is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst. Hell of it is chief, I doubt I'll live long enough to find out which" What makes this line amazing is that is the last time they see each other in game. The next time is at his "funeral" when he believes he is dead.
Sad part is, 343's boner for making the humans op completely ruined the nuances of Halo 3. Apparently 343 revealed that the humans still had hundreds of colonies that weren't destroyed by the Covenant during the War. Lord Hood's stress over Earth being all they have left makes no sense after 343 decided to retcon it. In addition to their books describing the Elites as incompetent idiots, they've made all the villains feel like a joke. Very much prefer the tone that Bungie's games presented. The tone of 343's Halo universe feels more like a superhero melodrama than a space opera adventure.
Ethan Dolezal Well, that's either the best assumption you've ever made or the worst. Hell of it is, Ethan? i doubt i'll live long enough to find out which.
Damn this one of my favorite in the series. You reallty trust Cortana that much? Sir, Yes Sir! The way he says it, how he immediately replies with such gusto, says a lot about their relationship.
Humans and Elites still hate each other, but they are willing to die together fighting for the good of all, it makes me cry when the Brothers in Arms song starts playing
I love how fragile the alliance is. Like the whole thing could break at the drop of a pin. The leaders bickering. The scene at 4:08 where you see the humans standing in groups and elites in another. You just know they're probably making racist jokes to each other about the members of the other species they're now aligned with. Johnson almost sparking a fight by picking up the elites' weapons. This isn't "hey we're on the same team so it's cool", this is "I don't like it but we absolutely have to work with them or we'll all die".
_"You trust Cortana that much?"_ _"Sir, yes sir."_ _"This is either the best decision you've ever made, or the worst."_ This will come back to haunt chief in infinite Edit: I played Infinite and yeah, it ain't shit. Cortana was barely in the game and most of her major story beats happened off screen.
Not really. Saving her was the only option to stop the Flood. Even the way things worked out, I don't think that decision is what haunted him at all. It was objectively the right call.
@@valdeezycleaver What I meant was, the decision of either letting Cortana get consumed by the Gravemind, and the flood taking over the galaxy once again, or chief rescuing Cortana and conveniently allowing her to go rampant in freedom and take over the galaxy was a lose-lose either way, which is why it haunts him. One could make the argument that the actual outcome was the lesser of the two evils, but they were negative either way.
Chief's determination against almost certain doom, the tension between Elites and marines, which doesn't stop them wrong working together for the common good, the hopelessness of the situation, and yet everyone hoping for the best... Halo 3 is the purest definition of heroism, and this cutscene is the best proof of that for me
The feels... Games truly have traded quality for quantity these days. Replaying Halo 3 brought back feelings from 2007 I didn't even remember existing.
I just love how Lord Hood calmly asks Chief is he trusts Cortana that much and when he gives his answer. Agrees to let him do what he thinks is right with the entirety of the war, Earth, and flood on the line. But Del Rio in 4 years is the biggest bitch about staying on a planet with the most powerful UNSC ship, dozens of Spartan 4s and also a advanced A.I.
The ironic thing was that Del Rio's role in the story is very much similar to Lord Hood just that the execution was off and I believe that's what the writers are trying to pull off but yes, they definitely made him a bitch. They could have made Del Rio more reasonable but still against Chief, after all they are in an unknown world, unknown enemy whose numbers (and power are unknown), possibly without support, and the only ship like the Infinity. Powerful doesn't mean invincible as in examples such as the Yamato, the Bismarck, and even the Persians in the battle of Thermopylae. My head cannon believes that Hood wants to believe there's hope in Chief which is why he allows them to go with the Elites.
@@xavierchen7054 Well yeah, but the Infinity had just got done absolutely bashing down at least 6-7 Covenant cruisers and the Didacts little sphere while it itself was grounded and immobile. I'm not saying there wasn't a reason to cautious, but I'd say the Infinity had just obliterated most of the Covenant forces. Imagine what would happen if it got up and used it's carrier force to aid it.
I would just like to point out the subtle animations on Master Chief, especially when Lord Hood mentions "we risk everything, every last man, woman and child" he turns his hands into fists as he looks down as if trying to decide what to do. THAT is personifying the Chief, not making him talk endlessly.
I agree. When Johnson dies and Cortana says shes sorry, you can really see the emotion in him without him even saying anything. Its all about those subtle movements. Way better than just explicitly saying everything
@@revolverocelot1380 Halo 4 and 5 prefer either leaving important details in outside lore or shoving them in your face and having everything be told, not shown. For example the constant discussion about what the Chief is thinking about the area around him or how he feels about events that just happened in the cutscenes. His dialogue for Halo CE was only around a minute and a half including death screams, and similarly he had sparse lines in Halo 2 and 3. He spoke a lot only when during debriefing and the like, sharing information, where of course he should, and otherwise didn't say much. Think of the intro to Metropolis, the exit cutscene of Tsavo Highway, even the Epilogue of Halo 3. Halo 4 and 5, however, have the Chief talk a lot more than he did prior, expressing every thought and feeling that crosses his mind, which contradicts his personality as written in Halo 3 and further makes 343's Chief feel like a different character. While not inherently bad, a big part of why Halo was so beloved was that the lack of dialogue during gameplay left players to decide how THEY felt about events going on, not be told what their character feels about it. And all those words meant rather than being shown what we were about to be dropped into, usually we just had it explained. No more mystery, no more subtle gestures, no more body language, because the characters instead just said what they'd have implied through their movement.
This cutscene is so amazing down to the most minute details. Even the Monitor seems really nervous when he's not sure if Hood and Chief are coming with them. Before their exchange he's casually glancing around the room, taking everything in, but when Hood and Chief talk he barely moves, just watching. And when the Arbiter spoke before that it's almost like he jumped.
@@davidpowers1175 Technically he doesn't outrank any elite as they do not have to take orders from him they serve the shipmaster but I see your point. Shipmaster is basically Lord Hoods equal.
I just realized the extremely subtle nod at 4:30 between Johnson and the Arbiter, I suppose killing Tartarus together may have formed a friendship, given both have some bad history with him
definitively the design of the elites in halo 3 is the best over all of halo games, but the brutes looked the best in halo 2 their armor and the design made them really look badass
This is definitely my favorite cutscene out of all time then it lead into The Ark... and I have to say that’s definitely one of my favorite levels of all time .
Johnson and arbiter are fucking breaking their backs while everybody else is watching 😂😂😂 The Forward Unto Dawn is small enough to fit inside the carrier 😳😳😳
That smart! Give the Elites the heavy weapons and give the marines the carbine rifles that is lighter and more accurate! I'm sorry I know it's obvious but I love the idea or the strategy! That is clever!
I love the nonverbal aspect of Johnson and Arbiter swapping their soldiers' weapons. Perfect example of show don't tell. Modern gaming writers would have them say "we're a team now!" instead of assuming you have the agency to understand
Realise how arbiter calls cortana "construct" because thats what the forerunners called them while here we go 343i's forerunners calls them ancillas Its so sad how a company that is working behind the game dosen't even know its lore details
If you notice, guilty spark gives a look at that marine around 4:34 and he zaps him later on in the ark after you take down the scarab as spark is trying to open that next door
343 watched only this cutscene, ignored everyone except Master Chief and Cortana, and said: "Let's base our games around this, without any of the good writing!"
@@deltadude7417 the first time I saw the same thing when i was more young my reaction was “what the fuck its happening here, why the covenant ships are so big” 🤣
Opinion with spoilers: (If you do not wish to hear my opinion, do not press "read more" otherwise, let me know if I missed any small details of lore.) Considering that the Flood is a hivemind descended from the Precursors and made up from the knowledge of an innumerable amount of victimized sentient beings, I'm sure that the Gravemind would have been smart enough to scatter at least half of his army away to safer locations, maybe gathering extra biomass to grow his army, away from harm where there is no risk or major loss from the rings. An entire flood army, within time, can come from one singular flood spore that is nearly microscopic and airbound. Think of the possibilities for if one of the trillions of flood spores survived. Not to mention there is also Flood contained in forerunner research areas within most if not all rings. Given all the evidence of the Gravemind's capabilities, I would think it is safe to say that the Flood will never go away. Never stop existing. Bottom Line: I stand with the opinion that the Flood is still around, maybe planning for something. After all, the Gravemind's collective intellect should not be taken for granted. And yes, I trust 343 that they know what they are doing. Sue me.
If anyone can find me the name of this version of the theme playing in the background that would be helpful. I know the tracks name but I want this version and not the original one since both sound different
Was it just me or was anyone thinking shoot I'd rather go than stay here on earth where it's already destroyed. I always thought that as a kid when playing this game ah the memories

An entire flood army, within time, can come from one singular flood spore that is nearly microscopic and airbound. Think of the possibilities for if one of the trillions of flood spores survived. Not to mention there is also Flood contained in forerunner research areas within most if not all rings. Given all the evidence of the Gravemind's capabilities, I would think it is safe to say that the Flood will never go away. Never stop existing.
Bottom Line: I stand with the opinion that the Flood is still around, maybe planning for something. After all, the Gravemind's collective intellect should not be taken for granted.
And yes, I trust 343 that they know what they are doing. Sue me.
Halo 3 made the shipmaster way more badass
Rtas had no Chill

*Coronavirus Meme* in Halo 3 Flood Cutscenes. 1:32.
If anyone can find me the name of this version of the theme playing in the background that would be helpful. I know the tracks name but I want this version and not the original one since both sound different
"Follow Our Brothers"
Please tell me someone knows the name of the song at the very end of the cutscene
❤❤❤
Much as I like this scene, why would Arbiter and Johnson exchange weapons?
Probably just a show of respect
Was it just me or was anyone thinking shoot I'd rather go than stay here on earth where it's already destroyed. I always thought that as a kid when playing this game ah the memories
