The assault rifle, shotgun and pistol all in one scene is dope. If Halo became a movie you'd have to have a ton of expensive shots like this with less dialog because of how many different types of aliens are in Halo.
Yes - you'd need a shorter run time and a far larger budget to make a seriously good, all-action sequence. Nevertheless, I think we're in for strong good action this season, as well as a moving story.
@@Mangobrain82 watch I bet when Halo completes it's final season someone is gonna make a Halo movie out of the best scenes. Chief will never take his helmet off and chief's voice will be the OG.
You really get a sense of how powerful elites are in this scene. Not clunky lumbering tanks but true warriors, and Spartans are freaks of nature to keep up.
Elites are still less maneuverable than Spartans, especially the Chief. But they def are powerful with how that one elite threw Chief like 10 feet. But in general Spartans are much faster and combined w their insane strength that gives them such an advantage
@@xXtuscanator22Xx It's like the elites have 9 points in Strength and 6 points in Agility, Whilst the Spartans have 8 points in Strength and 8 in Agility giving them a slight overall advantage.
The *tone* and thematic content of Season 2 feels very on brand with Halo. Because it's not constant action, however, and I think that's a good thing, it's not going to feel like the games.
@@NudlemanJones When Halo fans say "It doesn't feel like Halo" they almost never mean the games. They almost always mean the lore, the books and everything. This is not Halo, and that is not Master Chief

@@mastershooter64 I disagree. I think *most* fans are familiar with the games, not the books. I also think there are *elements* of the show that feel similar to established lore (game or book), and elements that feel incongruous. Season 2, from what I've seen, heard, and read, seems much more symmetrical to established lore in terms of thematic content and tone, if not in the particular characters, actions, and dialogue. You can say "this isn't Halo" or "this isn't Chief." That's fine. You can fail to recognize the love and hard work poured into this production, especially in its sophomore outing, even if you end up disagreeing with the final decisions. You can also forget that Halo has been an IP inconsistently forged by committee for the past 20-odd years. There is no singular "Chief." There are myriad descriptions, characterisations, and iterations of a certain character called John-177 (or "Master Chief") that we all pretend are the same, singular individual. I think that's beautiful, and I love it. But I also think so-called "purists" need to take themselves a little less seriously and be a tad more charitable. If you end up vehemently hating the show after giving it a fair shake, that's fine. More power to you. However, you'd behoove yourself to give the show an honest look before chastising it for not getting you *precisely* where *you* wanted to go. There is a difference between *experiencing* or *receiving* a work of art and *using* it. I contend that self-proclaimed "purists" are guilty of the latter, and that's not something to necessarily be proud of.
This is a great way to show the covenant if u don’t want to spend a whole lot of money at the same time. Make it dark and foggy so it hides any lack of texturing and stuff, but it still maintains the very distinct silhouettes of the covenant
When that one marine been with you since the start of the mission and you don’t want them to die Edit: omg lol, never gotten this many likes before lmao 😂
The whole series should be like this scene. It should be various military operations leading to big events like the covenant discovering reach. Not scenes like the master chief sitting down for dinner with a marines family.
This series is supposed to expand on the universe of Halo, I personally like seeing the interactions with Reach civilians, makes it more devastating when they all die.
If all you want is action, they'll need a bigger budget. However, I personally like the exploration of the characters and universe. The action should serve the story, and vice versa.
The games and the show could never show just how dangerous energy swords were. In the books chief fights an elite on the bridge if a ship the elite pulls out an energy sword and swings it at chief missing by just a few inches. The energy is so hot that it raised the internal temperature of the MJOLNIR armor 20 degrees just by getting within a few inches
imagine if instead of only zealots (yes, i hope the elites in this are indeed the show's take on zealots) at the end of this scene, we saw a few silent shadow elites with red energy swords sprinkled into the background.
God this scene is actually really good, not perfect, but good. The Elites after a little while make progressively poorer choices as the fight goes on. But the atmosphere, the intensity, MC doing main character stuff while the rest of the team finds ways to stress out the Chief. 7/10 this a good piece of Halo live action
If they wanted to, could say that the radiation from the glassing Ray later in the scene interfered with electronic equipment and the recording camera... But writers are Probably too lazy to explain it Anyway, so 🤷
They honestly should’ve done a Mando like in Season 3, not (just) where they don’t remove the helmet thing, but where the physical actor isn’t the voice actor, and they should’ve let Steve Downes do his thing and sound badass yet still heartfelt, not this wheezy voice. This “Chief’s” attitude and mannerisms feels more like Spartan Buck than 117.
Exactly, even without Chief’s voice actor the way he speaks in the script is just so off and overdone. Does not have the stoic quality of Chief at all, the combat scene here was the one exception.
If you read the books chief would speak during missions. He wasn’t a mute. Especially when it’s in regards to what’s going on in the missions. The Spartans didn’t have a chip put into them to make them devoid of emotions. They were just naturally like that because they never learned to socialize in moments of non combat
This is pretty lore accurate to be honest. At least the parameters of this fight is, chief is surrounded by active camo elites who are charging at him with energy swords, and they have absolutely every single conceivable advantage on him even down to the fog making it even harder to see them. And they’re still basically no match for him😂 he’s killing some of them with absolute style points like no look shotgun kills lol
What really made this lore accurate is the Elites still aren’t slouches. He def bested them, but they were strong. I mean they manage to toss him around with no problem and he was practically fighting for his life. Really puts into perspective how Elites and Spartans are of equal strength.
In relation to the fog and visibility, besides his helmet. Didn't hid augmentation include increase bloodflow behind the eyes to give him sort of nightvision ability?
@@black8aron965Spartan-IIs are slightly stronger than a regular Elite. See how Vannak was able to lift an Elite in the first season with almost no effort

@@dewdew80and that would logically make sense seeing as how the Covenant has had thousands of years to develop their technology. Honestly every elite should have shielding, plasma sword and active camo as standard equipment by this point. Banshees should all have shields and active camo, as should Phantoms. Wraiths, Ghosts etc should all have shields with active camo. This is basic warfare 101, the enemy can't hurt ya if they can't see ya. Big L on Halo for not doing that though, thousands of years to develop technology and for what, UNSC to be able to have peer equivalent counters? Lmao so unrealistic. But then the Covenant would just curb stomp the entire show, Chief would die and people wouldn't get their badass Spartan hard-ons. 🤣
@@Redditor6079 The Covenant doesn't develop tech though, only steal and improvise from their limited understanding of Forerunner technology they can get their hands on. And then only a child's imitation of it. It's literally branded as heresy to do otherwise by the Prophets (as part of the Prophet's methods to keep the other races in check and underneath them, and to stop them from discovering the truth of the Forerunners).
I can respect this scene, no unnecessary talking or yelling. No close ups of his face. This feels like something closer to a halo series. It's too bad the rest of the show remains the same; When/if it shifts away from being a terrible fanfic ill consider watching it.
The way he noticed the movement from behind followed up by the same-day delivery of that buckshot and that attention to detail with the magnum recoil. 😤
Make a non-canon Halo spin-off with Master Chief isn't very difficult. Make it's general premise simple, Spartans are deployed in a rather serious mission against covenant attacks, Keyes and the UNSC make the tactics to counterattack, the drama is whether they win or lose those fights and how each side responds. Season 1 could've been easily about the UNSC's first encounters with the Covenant, and the non-combat drama would've been ONI and the UNSC scrambling over each other figuring out wtf are they going to do while Chief and Silver team does the shooting and little but valuable input on tactics.
If you are watching this clip and haven't watched Season 2 yet. Prepare yourself. 5 episodes in and this is the only action scene that has Chief in his armor. Even the entire Reach Battle he is in a tee shirt. Smh Update: We are now to the next week is the season finale and we have yet to have any other fight scene with Chief in his armor. Oh and somehow after like 1 week of training Perez is now a Spartan 3. Sigh...
Say what you will, this season so far has been a major improvement over the first. The way this scene alone captured the pure terror, brutality and savagery of the elites was spot on. They are a literal pack of wolves!
No dumb love scenes, no forced humor, just violence and chaos and Spartan III’s ripping Covenant apart and throwing themselves into absolute death, with all the “menacing hatred of an orphaned child turned super-human- warrior -psychopath” vibes on display.
If we got a show about Noble team from pre-reach to the last stand of Noble 6, I would watch every episode 2-3 times just to express gratitude towards Paramount for getting it right. Paramount/Halo show writers/producers, if you’re reading this. The answer to making an absolute hit of a show is in this comment, you don’t need the lame romance or anything, just lore accurate Noble Team with good writing, and you’ll win everyone over.
i love how chief has his arm on her when it's just the 2 of them. He knows without him she wouldn't survive. that he's the only thing standing between her and death.
That fight with the many elites coming in and that music hitting just showcases how hopeless the situation can get at a moments notice and even chief seems to get tired and if this goes on he might die, damn, what a feeling to die on a foreign world killed by unknown aliens
why cant the entire series be like this?? all they have to do is keep the chief's helmet on and remake the games in live action. how do you fumble an ip with 20+ years of story?
@@lolilol535 so boring. its not like halo managed to change gaming globally 🤨 no, i want something thats accurate and not disrespectful to the games/lore and those who spent years making them. halo has been a massive part of millions of people's lives. keep licking their boots whilst watching slop
@@Snaek1 Exactly, this was their chance to retell the Halo story WITHOUT focusing on gunfights due to it being an FPS game. Show the famous battles from the games of course, but in a show you could have fleshed out the rest of the universe. What other people were doing during pivotal game moments, what happened between the game missions (lots of blanks there to fill in). Its just sad they fumbled it and even sadder that people will eat this show up and go "idk everything is bad these days so just stop complaining"
Okay this action scene is quite well made.This show was rigthfully memed on it"s release but one could have imagined how in a better world ,the quality of the show was more like the action of this clip
Fight scene's great BUT complaint is that chief looked exhausted too early too fast. these guys are superhuman that lift cars WITHOUT armor. just sad that when we got a halo tv show they showed us psychologically weaker and physically weaker spartans. we weren't meant to relate with chief and his team, we can't none of us were raised to be child soldiers. they feel more at home in battle than in peaceful scenarios
Was thinking the same thing, like everything else I've seen Chief do in games and other media, handling these guys with a pistol shouldn't be that big of an issue
@@jpcabingan after the grapple with that one elite, listen for the panting/heavy breathing. if he was tired from that how did he manage to survive the non stop running and gunning in the library the could've went with either near endless stamina, or insane recovery time. all in all tho the scene's still great. obviously the dark lighting is there to hide the awkward cgi and forced blurring but it's all we got.
Bro Master Cheif's voice is not like in the game. I wish they just had an actor in the suit and never showed their face or maybe just do it at least once like in The Mandalorian season 1. We also should have the voice actor for Master Chief from the games. It just makes up for everything. Right now I don't feel connected to Master Chief that much compared to when I played Halo Infinite. The campaign I played (first time playing Halo after not playing it for like 10 years and choosing to play other games instead) really brought me into the game like I was there.
This scene, and the whole section on Sanctuary, is what sold me on the new showrunners. Feels they definitely get halo to a degree, and it seems they were sincere about trying to improve after S1. There are still a few issues I have with S2, but tellingly they’re generally to do with stuff carried over from S1 that presumably felt too integral to drop. That and the scene with John talking to the AI, but that’s one odd scene in two episodes, so I can live with that. Cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season, and still holding out hope for Kieth David and/or Noble Team to at least get cameos
Though ruthless- the Sangheili (Elites) are warriors... no honor in killing an enemy outnumbered and unarmed. ALSO, I couldn't help thinking "REMEBER REACH" the entire time 🤣😭
Another possibility is that the girl who’s with the covenant told them to stop as they do reveal she was right behind the elites and doesn’t want chief to die
I like how Chief's magnum actually has a reasonable number of rounds. He pulls it out, fires either 5 or six shots, then resorts to his knife, not firing another shot until there's a momentary reprieve. During that split second rest, you can hear the sound of the slide racking, likely signaling a reload, then he fires three more shots at the charging Sangheili, two more to finish it off, then a last at a different one that was scrambling for a weapon. Five or six shots - reload - six more shots. Even if the mag is larger, it's perfectly reasonable to think he'd fired some in a previous fight and only finished off the mag here.
The way that the elites with the energy swords that were gonna executr chief while chief tries to rescue a Marine is one badass shot and the respect that The elites just gave to chief just shows that the elites are honourable warriors and not savages like the jackals or brutes
This is the only bit of S2 I’ve seen, never watched S1. But I gotta say the way chief moves in combat is pretty badass, you can really tell he is an enhanced super soldier. So many cool opportunities for fight choreography that wouldn’t be possible in-game.
It's kind of sad to see how good this show could have been if the overall plot weren't so far off from the source material. After season one I have no interest in watching full episodes, but just watching clips like this on RUclips is nice.

It's literally branded as heresy to do otherwise by the Prophets (as part of the Prophet's methods to keep the other races in check and underneath them, and to stop them from discovering the truth of the Forerunners).
I can respect this scene, no unnecessary talking or yelling. No close ups of his face. This feels like something closer to a halo series. It's too bad the rest of the show remains the same; When/if it shifts away from being a terrible fanfic ill consider watching it.
Here here
that's the problem though, no one making this is a fan of Halo, if they were the show would actually be good
0:11 "i can tell from your aim" bro just called them POGs 😂
Man The entire fighting choreography was better than the WHOLE HALO SERIES!!
3:31 - that's the MC we want to see
This is the definition of dont bring a knife to a gunfight lmao
The way he noticed the movement from behind followed up by the same-day delivery of that buckshot and that attention to detail with the magnum recoil. 😤
I can’t see it clearly but i swear the armor those Elites are wearing look like the Arbiter’s
Thought the same thing, from some angles it does look similar
Those are Stealth Elites I think, they usually wear light blue/silver armor.
Elite at 4:24 is their take on the Arbiter.. you see him more later on and at the end of episode 2.
@@ika.7808
Yea stealth elites like the ones from halo ce and halo 2 .
Goodness. Didn’t watch the first season, and this has been the most I’ve seen, but if this is how the rest of the season is, I will watch.
Make a non-canon Halo spin-off with Master Chief isn't very difficult. Make it's general premise simple, Spartans are deployed in a rather serious mission against covenant attacks, Keyes and the UNSC make the tactics to counterattack, the drama is whether they win or lose those fights and how each side responds.
Season 1 could've been easily about the UNSC's first encounters with the Covenant, and the non-combat drama would've been ONI and the UNSC scrambling over each other figuring out wtf are they going to do while Chief and Silver team does the shooting and little but valuable input on tactics.
Even if the rest of this season sucks I hope the sick action scenes will carry it
If you are watching this clip and haven't watched Season 2 yet. Prepare yourself. 5 episodes in and this is the only action scene that has Chief in his armor. Even the entire Reach Battle he is in a tee shirt. Smh
Update: We are now to the next week is the season finale and we have yet to have any other fight scene with Chief in his armor. Oh and somehow after like 1 week of training Perez is now a Spartan 3. Sigh...
The subtle moves in this scene are great. Notice how at 3:10 he kicks mid air to get some distance.
Yo that duck shot at 2:36 was so clean 😮
This is 10/10. Best fight scenes in tv shows.
How I imagine Noble 6's final stand, fighting for 3 hours straight until wraiths and banshees were required as back up
Meanwhile, Noble 6:
- You better bring another invasion force, because I can do this all day...
2:39 i had to replay that badass moment 10 times
I’d actually love to see just footage of chief fighting I love how he swings his rifle around like a sword and still dodging st the same time
Say what you will, this season so far has been a major improvement over the first. The way this scene alone captured the pure terror, brutality and savagery of the elites was spot on. They are a literal pack of wolves!
I do feel like they made them look a tad too "feral." Less "elite" than their moniker would suggest. But I sure love everything else.
4:30 "Hello my name is mastur ch33f lololololololololoolol"
With this kind of scene, I definitely want a headhunter show man. Spartan llls behind enemy lines, with badass last stands.
We need a show just called “Noble”
No dumb love scenes, no forced humor, just violence and chaos and Spartan III’s ripping Covenant apart and throwing themselves into absolute death, with all the “menacing hatred of an orphaned child turned super-human- warrior -psychopath” vibes on display.
If we got a show about Noble team from pre-reach to the last stand of Noble 6, I would watch every episode 2-3 times just to express gratitude towards Paramount for getting it right. Paramount/Halo show writers/producers, if you’re reading this. The answer to making an absolute hit of a show is in this comment, you don’t need the lame romance or anything, just lore accurate Noble Team with good writing, and you’ll win everyone over.
i love how chief has his arm on her when it's just the 2 of them. He knows without him she wouldn't survive. that he's the only thing standing between her and death.
A great way to set the tone. I think bigger battles are coming. 🔥
That fight with the many elites coming in and that music hitting just showcases how hopeless the situation can get at a moments notice and even chief seems to get tired and if this goes on he might die, damn, what a feeling to die on a foreign world killed by unknown aliens
Surprised he didn't take his helmet off mid-fight.
right? what a hero
Chief doesn’t just fire aimlessly he waits for something to shoot at
1:15 la tonalité de courir
Ohhh une délice à l'écoute...
Best scene in the entire series easily
Question...Why isn't the rest of this show as awesome as this scene? THIS is what a Halo show should be.
why cant the entire series be like this?? all they have to do is keep the chief's helmet on and remake the games in live action. how do you fumble an ip with 20+ years of story?
this would be so boring , u guys just want brainless action lol
@@lolilol535 so boring. its not like halo managed to change gaming globally 🤨
no, i want something thats accurate and not disrespectful to the games/lore and those who spent years making them. halo has been a massive part of millions of people's lives. keep licking their boots whilst watching slop
@@Snaek1 Exactly, this was their chance to retell the Halo story WITHOUT focusing on gunfights due to it being an FPS game. Show the famous battles from the games of course, but in a show you could have fleshed out the rest of the universe. What other people were doing during pivotal game moments, what happened between the game missions (lots of blanks there to fill in). Its just sad they fumbled it and even sadder that people will eat this show up and go "idk everything is bad these days so just stop complaining"
So you want to keep chiefs helmet on 24 7 if it were realistic we wouldn't keep his helmet on even tho he aint in combat
@@ILovedarkspeakerman no, i just dont want master cheeks. its stupid
Okay this action scene is quite well made.This show was rigthfully memed on it"s release but one could have imagined how in a better world ,the quality of the show was more like the action of this clip
If ONLY MOST Of the show was like this! 😭😭😭😭
Never played Halo, this is one of the best fights I've scene
This is the halo everyone wants just like 22/7 lol
2:08 thats good detail to show you how strong that suit is when master chief pushed the marine.
Respect to the cameraman, he filmed the entire fight and didn’t get seen by the elites or master chief 💀💀🔥🔥🤯
Cameraman never die !
The real chief doesn't put people down.
This boy is commander shepard or something
Both are named John un-ironically
Fight scene's great BUT complaint is that chief looked exhausted too early too fast. these guys are superhuman that lift cars WITHOUT armor.
just sad that when we got a halo tv show they showed us psychologically weaker and physically weaker spartans.
we weren't meant to relate with chief and his team, we can't none of us were raised to be child soldiers. they feel more at home in battle than in peaceful scenarios
This Master Chief is too emotional. He is not exhausted, he just cares for the last marine
Was thinking the same thing, like everything else I've seen Chief do in games and other media, handling these guys with a pistol shouldn't be that big of an issue
@@jpcabingan after the grapple with that one elite, listen for the panting/heavy breathing.
if he was tired from that how did he manage to survive the non stop running and gunning in the library
the could've went with either near endless stamina, or insane recovery time. all in all tho the scene's still great. obviously the dark lighting is there to hide the awkward cgi and forced blurring but it's all we got.
@@TJVBernal definitely, they showed us emotional spartans
I love to see Master Chief's iconic moves the sidestep summersault.
Now *THIS* is Halo!
There should have been 10x more of this in the show
Bro Master Cheif's voice is not like in the game. I wish they just had an actor in the suit and never showed their face or maybe just do it at least once like in The Mandalorian season 1. We also should have the voice actor for Master Chief from the games. It just makes up for everything. Right now I don't feel connected to Master Chief that much compared to when I played Halo Infinite. The campaign I played (first time playing Halo after not playing it for like 10 years and choosing to play other games instead) really brought me into the game like I was there.
This scene, and the whole section on Sanctuary, is what sold me on the new showrunners. Feels they definitely get halo to a degree, and it seems they were sincere about trying to improve after S1.
There are still a few issues I have with S2, but tellingly they’re generally to do with stuff carried over from S1 that presumably felt too integral to drop. That and the scene with John talking to the AI, but that’s one odd scene in two episodes, so I can live with that.
Cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season, and still holding out hope for Kieth David and/or Noble Team to at least get cameos
Idk why they all look like Arbiters to me, but this is a HUGE step up from season 1.. (B+)
Though ruthless- the Sangheili (Elites) are warriors... no honor in killing an enemy outnumbered and unarmed. ALSO, I couldn't help thinking "REMEBER REACH" the entire time 🤣😭
Did the Sanghelli spared Chief because he took on multiple Sanghelli in close combat and still won, and that he fought with honour ?
That, or it could have been a scare tactic.
"We have mor enumbers than you think. We could simply kill you now, but no. Let them know whats coming,"
Another possibility is that the girl who’s with the covenant told them to stop as they do reveal she was right behind the elites and doesn’t want chief to die
They likely backed off because they needed to leave ASAP to avoid being caught when they started glassing the planet
@@SohiHien or this is a hint when the Covenant finds where Reach is. They were trying to lure them
Honour is my go to on this. Elites were very honourable when it came to combat.
I like how Chief's magnum actually has a reasonable number of rounds. He pulls it out, fires either 5 or six shots, then resorts to his knife, not firing another shot until there's a momentary reprieve. During that split second rest, you can hear the sound of the slide racking, likely signaling a reload, then he fires three more shots at the charging Sangheili, two more to finish it off, then a last at a different one that was scrambling for a weapon.
Five or six shots - reload - six more shots. Even if the mag is larger, it's perfectly reasonable to think he'd fired some in a previous fight and only finished off the mag here.
This scene is the meaning of perfect execution. There is no series that compares to this level of action
LOL
3:30 the little kid inside me didnt stop laughing for 5 minutes.
This scene was incredible.
The shotgun fight 😅insane
Master Chief in this scene alone has spoken more than the whole game franchise Master Chief
Cap
The series should have instead focused on a group of Marines or ODST troopers and maybe had the Spartans show up as secondary characters
Aaand that's why the movie never got made. Because the studio got rabid because of just that and started to wedge themselves into everything...
The way that the elites with the energy swords that were gonna executr chief while chief tries to rescue a Marine is one badass shot and the respect that The elites just gave to chief just shows that the elites are honourable warriors and not savages like the jackals or brutes
Amazing Scene
I feel like a Spartan, a walking talk, wold completely destroy anything with a punch or even a knee
YESSSSS THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED !!!
This looks way better than I expected.
I thought the flood was in the fog for a sec.
dude same it even had the green Flood Tint as well
Energy swords are 10x cooler when used in a dark, foggy environment - fact
This is the only bit of S2 I’ve seen, never watched S1. But I gotta say the way chief moves in combat is pretty badass, you can really tell he is an enhanced super soldier. So many cool opportunities for fight choreography that wouldn’t be possible in-game.
The only chief action weve gotten so far in a sci-fi action series about halo💀
This scene is epic! 🔥
You already know chief wouldve started running it down on those at the end until either they werent breathing or he wasnt
God they did not do Halo justice. This is terrible. Forward Unto Dawn did it right.
here communications team. “I know I can tell from you aim”. The Burn 🔥 😂
That was awesome
Master chief will never use the word buddies
It's kind of sad to see how good this show could have been if the overall plot weren't so far off from the source material. After season one I have no interest in watching full episodes, but just watching clips like this on RUclips is nice.
Same exact thoughts. The show is horrible
