"where you see half a crew...I see family, courage, and a thousands heroes who swore to fight their way through Hell before they'd ever, *ever,* turn their backs and run. And where you see one old ship...I see home... and that is always worth fighting for!"
During the war, the Covenant used his clan as expendable muscle, told them dying in battle would speed their "Holy Journey." They sent them in 40 at a time. 40 to break the frontlines. 40 to die for beliefs not their own. None ever returned... until he did. And so battle after battle, war by war, 39 brothers at a time, Atriox was born. With each victory, his legend and his hatred for the Covenant grew. Eventually both were impossible to conceal. So they tried to banish him. In all we know about the Covenant's 1000-year history, Atriox was the first to defy the Covenant and survive. And his defiance inspired others. Atriox and his Banished raided Covenant resources, cutting a swath across the galaxy, hiring killers and mercenaries to his side with every battle. The Covenant had two enemies in those years: Humanity and Atriox. They almost got us. But Atriox, they never came close. The whole damn Covenant couldn't contain him at the height of their power.
Tampa Bay Lightning I love that after the infinite reveal, this could be in reference to either Captain Cutter or Master Chief and the lost marines in the trailer. Lmao.
I will always have a spot in my heart for the Covenant, seeing as Halo is my personal favorite game series, but I'll be damned if the Banished aren't my favorite antagonists of the series.
4:28 *runs hand over Xbox 360 and original Halo Games* We are just Halo fans, the old ones at that. But here we are 20 years past anyone could ask of us. Our war is gone...The community we knew are gone, The game we knew has moved on. And now all that we may have left are those standing beside us and the duty that define us, campaign after campaign fighting side by side. Together...Where you see an Old Breed of Bungie Halo Fans. I see family, loyalty, & a thousand players who swore to fight their way through hell before They Ever, EVER turn their backs on Halo. Where you see one old Halo fan base...I see home. AND THAT IS ALWAYS WORTH FIGHTING FOR! If we dont stop the modern hipster halo fans now we leave the franchise at the hands of a monster. So No, new Halo gen, We Won't be running anywhere today.
14 days later after uploading, 65 - 0 (likes - dislikes) simply astonishing good job 343 wow, I actually typed that, looks like 343 might have a chance to turn this around and forge new, legendary Halo games √ - good looks √ - epic music √ - fun/entertaining/competitive/slash
Gavin Corder if the Banished are going to be in Halo 6, then I can just imagine this music playing as one by one human colonies fall to the Banished. Seeing the planets be glassed by this giant Banished armada and the humans being helpless to stop. They grow so powerful that they soon have the power to rival a guardian. Like if you agree.
Amber Leigh We'd probably get to see ONE colony fall. Not much is left after the Covenant, remember. But watching humanity get it'a ass whooped in Halo 6 would be a refreshing thing to watch. Atriox's revenge?
One of the most epic villain themes ever... and one of the most wasted villains ever. Atriox' introduction was flawless, then he kinda disappeared from the game. Yeah, he'll return in Halo 5, but his absence still turned Halo Wars 2 from a great stand-alone game (like Halo Wars 1) into a game that feels so much like a prequel, it hardly has a story of its own. First half of the game was great, but the closer it came to the ending, the worse it got.
I agree about the Didact, he was an awesome villain and he should have been the Big Bad of the Reclaimer saga. Cortana could have been a great Big Bad, especially since the emotional bonds both John and the player have with her would make her much more dramatic, but they kinda messed up about that. They changed her personality so drastically that she might as well not be Cortana anymore. But the Warden Eternal... it's true he was a little wasted, but I never found him _sooo_ badass to begin with. At least I know I was really angry about them wasting the Didact and Atriox, but just slightly annoyed at how the Warden Eternal became nothing more but a recurring miniboss with barely any dialogue but the typical, evil and boring "I am invincible, you are ants compared to me, I will not let you hurt my master, blabla evil talk blabla". So... he was a bad character to begin with. Actually, the whole damn plot was completely wasted! It had such a great potential, but 343 really had to hire an incompetent writer to do the job, right? Probably he's the son of the boss or something... I mean, I'm just a young, amateur writer, with not much experience who's scripting his very first 2D RPG as we speak, and even I could have made a better story and written better dialogue than him!
Exactly, Besides that they "killed" the Didact in a comic that no one knows, Wrecked the last Forerruner! Warden Eternal had more potential, In the Gameplay of E3 looked fearsome, But in the end turned out the opposite But for me, the most wasted is Jul'Mdama, in the Halopedia he says he was a "Ship Master" in the old Covenant, supposed to be powerful as the Arbiter, but no, He's a fool who does not know how to use a Sword of Energy and died, Also that appeared very little in the Universe of Halo (Spartan Ops, Comics and in the beginning of Halo 5)
DLC... three letters to make my blood boil. Of course, make a mediocre game with awesome DLC's... why not just make the whole game more expensive and include the DLCs, if the game's worth nothing without them anyway??
Is it just me or does this song feel nothing like halo? It’s not bad as far as music goes and I actually like it but to me it barely resembles the style of music we’re used too when it comes to halo. Near the end is where it begins to pick up with similar sounding cords but even then it just feels sorta generic to me.

“We are his will”
“We are his legacy”
*”We are...The Banished”*
Never thought I'd ever feel sorry for a Brute in Halo.
craig: exists
@@DirectalYT yes but also no.
I felt bad for the elites who got utterly destroyed in the cutscene fight, but I mean Atriox’s backstory outweighs them dying brutally
@@DirectalYT Craig's backstory is the greatest tragedy of all.
@@zillafire101 it really is
"where you see half a crew...I see family, courage, and a thousands heroes who swore to fight their way through Hell before they'd ever, *ever,* turn their backs and run. And where you see one old ship...I see home... and that is always worth fighting for!"
ooh rah!
This is why I see spirit of fire as the best ship in Halo lore
what about infinity
@@zacktaft well I hate because it carries a cancer called palmer
she changed in halo 5 she is not a Halsey hate machine she respects the chief and she impressed jun A -266 who is alive after reach

That scene is the perfect example of how to do a exposition scene interesting.
"And his defiance inspired others" 2:41
Was super badass moment too
*insert Brutes wrecking the Elites*
4:10 Where the real fight begins.
HOORAH!
i swear 3:11 to 4:00 sounds like halo's equivalent of the imperial march and it is glorious
yes it is and what do you think of atriox
Kinda a mix between the Isengard theme and the Imperial March.
@@zacktaft The devil himself.
Run little demons, run from The Devil!
Celestial Wing as I expected nothing but a man
"Run little demons, to the devil"
This soundtrack is so good that it is almost ALMOST as good as the classic Halo music.
get every men you can, take the ring from them, prove your still worth your price! - Atriox 2:41
BRASILLLL
ouch that hurts my guy, it was just one mistake sheesh!
Nah that was the part when they bodied the fuck outa those elites
Let's hope this theme appears in Halo Infinite when the banished appear

Sir yes sir
Oo-rah!
HELL bull head *Said after Forsaken came out and Shadowkeep*
Brought a tear to my eyes in how awesome and meaningful this song is..
If the power of the banish was in a trombone: 2:41
5:52-5:55 “so no Isabel we won’t be running anywhere today”
love this, especially 2:41. It shows that the Jiralhanae were superior in strength than the Sangheilli
Le Kyojin i loved it when desimus broke an elite's neck by just squeezing it and when he broke an elite over his knee!
Arbiter Vs. Atriox is gonna be like Rocky Balboa Vs. Draco

simply astonishing good job 343
wow, I actually typed that, looks like 343 might have a chance to turn this around and forge new, legendary Halo games
√ - good looks
√ - epic music
√ - fun/entertaining/competitive/slash
Problem: Good looks and epic music (which 343 certainly nail) don't make for a good game. They really should start hiring competent writers...
Gui Caldo atleast this game is better than Halo 5. Also 343i are taking steps to fix their mistakes.
Gavin Corder if the Banished are going to be in Halo 6, then I can just imagine this music playing as one by one human colonies fall to the Banished.

Atriox's revenge?
jerome and issablee vs the banished and cheif lock and arby vs cortana and the promethians could be real good man ....
This soundtrack gives you a sort of modern feel of the LOTR soundtrack sometimes
man i love it
Yeah, something as if the brutes were a space-faring Uruk Hai menace. Interesting way to think about it
"... y mil heroes que juraron pelear ante cualquier adversidad antes de siquiera pensar en voltearse y escapar"
4:10 onward is my favorite part.
This theme in halo infinite uffffff
Shame we didn't hear this in infinite. Super menacing theme.
4:10 is what I'm here for
Halo Wars 2’s soundtrack wasn’t as memorable as Halo Wars 1’s, but goddamn even I can admit that this was a great theme setter
That's because the halo wars 2 soundtrack is more "brutal" and "primitive" with drums and dark chants.
Atriox was so much better than M'damma he just seemed to be there...a bit of a nuisance really.
I actually never even played Halo 4 Spartan ops and I had no idea Jul M'damma even existed until after halo 5 released .
Jul was a good character throughout spartan ops but his death was a bit way too rushed
Guys what if Atriox had a cape, let that thought sink in
NO CAPES
He doesn’t need one, he’s a monster without one
No.
2:40 is where the jiralhanae fun begins
0 - 1:30
Can't wait for Halo infinite
Well this aged well.
4:01 👌
I just noticed every single person is a spartan
Hadn't noticed that, damn that's crazy
@@JuaniAlva true
I think they are odsts
setting a time for the part i came for, dont mind me...
2:41
Fantastico Game
I swear this was Gordy's audition for Star Wars lol
I want to see storm troopers against banished
What?
@@brandonsmith7960 what do you mean what?
Is there a video with just 2:41 and forth on?
I wish ripa moramee was given the same protagonism as atriox
Atriox and Decimus disliked this
Hail atriox

The reason as to why Atriox was not in the game that much is because of the fact that 343i is making campaign dlc along with a brand new expansion.
DLC... three letters to make my blood boil. Of course, make a mediocre game with awesome DLC's... why not just make the whole game more expensive and include the DLCs, if the game's worth nothing without them anyway??
Stagenames.
The Didact vs Atriox
Who would win???

Isn't the halo wars 2 theme, is the banished theme a bunch of space commies, so this can sound like indiana johns if you want.
