Meaning he dont feel pain in his tissue and ligaments,muscles and bones. The recoil will still kick the gun but not hurt him, thats what he meant by that
@@coleprell6280 have you ever shot a gun? An AR15 chambered in 5.56 has no recoil, and an AR10 which fires 7.62 NATO (same as the MA5 and DMR although the round could use different more advanced propellants) has very low recoil and would surely be nothing for a spartan.
kIDNEYKid 1999 yeah damn right. People say they couldn’t connect with the characters but I found them so interesting and I love the hole idea of reach on how it falls
As much as I loved the iconic Hiabusa and Recon armors, I can't lie, my favorite at the time of Halo 3's release and still my favorite to this day is the EOD armor.

It's cool to see someone else who knows this. I remember when I was little getting really, probably unnecessarily, annoyed every time someone said 'a samurai would beat a knight because their armour is lighter and stronger' and no amount of historical evidence would sway their opinion.
@@dcahodl7189 it's an ability in the fallout games starting in 3 as a callback to fallout 1 and 2, it stops time and let's you pick what targets you shoot in what areas and your likelihood of hitting it. and after you've picked your targets your characters will stop. In fallout 4 us slows time and in 76 it just shows your chance of hitting it.
Can't tell if this is genuine or you're trolling. Hayabusa is a nod and reference to Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden series, who appeared in other games just like Master Chief or other Spartans in general from Halo. It's like all those kids who now think Master Chief is from Fortnite.
Ahh, Halo 3 will always have the best elite armours in the series in my opinion. My favourite armour is simply the combat harness, with one shoulder being commando and the chest piece the Flight Armour.
Hmm, the assault harness is my personal favorite. In addition to simply looking cool,, the helmet provides much greater protection. I’m surprised that the Swords of Sanghelios didn’t adopt it as their new standard.
My favourite is the Ascetic harness . The Ascetic helmet was just something incredibly badass and I remember how I tried to get the Achievment to unlock the armor . Good times .
I love the scout armor with it being the first armor that I unlock via achievements and the assault harness I always thought looked the most badass for elites.
Sanghielie flight armor will always hold a special place with me. The nostalgia just floods back when I remember getting the mega bloks banshee set that came with a crimson flight elite figure
That was my first halo set and the yellow flight was the first one I got in the series 2 packs so flight armour will always be my favourite over everything
I remember when I had the Recon armor in Halo 3 and Reach. Those were good times. Except I ended up losing it after my Xbox Live account was banned with no reason provided at all.

on the spartan side: ODST all the way, love it in 3, love it in reach On the elite side: ascetic, it just looks awesome, i like the tusks and it felt good getting a slice and dice for it
I absolutely love the Halo 3 Armor Style! So simple and smooth yet bad ass at the same time it’s honestly perfect to me Bungie never failed to impress with they’re Armor Designs.
I'm honestly surprised people don't know hayabusa armour is based off ryu hayabusa from ninja gaiden as a collaborative with team ninja. In response you can unlock a spartan as a playable character in dead or alive 4 and the unlock able katana is the dragon sword ryu hayabusa uses in the ninja gaiden games
Fun fact about the Hayabusa armor!! It is modeled after argument Hayabusa from Dead or Alive because DOA4 was a launch title for the 360 that had introduced the character “Spartan: Nicole-458” as a playable character in the roster. Such a cool crossover.
Recon was my Jam in 2010 when everyone got the armor from Halo 3 ODST with the Halo 3 Multiplayer Disc by completing all 7 of the Vidmaster Challenges in Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST!
Love how everyone would beg for recon armor and I figured out I had it and didn’t even realize it was rare until I got a bunch of messages asking to buy my account when I wore the damn armor......... man I’m really starting to wonder how I got it though
@@Intr0vertical Oh, by all means, I love Reach. It's an amazing game, but it doesn't come quite close. My ranking is Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo CE, Halo Reach. Halo Reach is pretty close to overtaking CE though.

on the spartan side: ODST all the way, love it in 3, love it in reach
On the elite side: ascetic, it just looks awesome, i like the tusks and it felt good getting a slice and dice for it
I absolutely love the Halo 3 Armor Style! So simple and smooth yet bad ass at the same time it’s honestly perfect to me Bungie never failed to impress with they’re Armor Designs.
“Arguably the most recognisable armour in the gaming industry”. You forgetting about diamond armour bro?
I assume that's the reason why he said: "arguably."
Diamond Armor?
@@thatrandomguy5774 diamond armor bro.
@@Xozkov Not even joking here bud, I never heard of the Diamond Armor, lol. Where's it from.
Minecraft?
Mark V helmet
Security Shoulders
EOD chest
My favorite combination during the Halo 3 days.
This must have taken hours credit to u man love your vids 👏💓
King James ya it was a labour of love, a very very long labour of love 😂
I love the scenic shots in the background behind the Spartans/elites
1:29 “anti EMP protection”
Then why are my shields still getting shredded by charged plasma pistol shots? Checkmate.
Plasma charges don't emit EMP waves, instead the just blow off the shields because of the intense amount of plasma :))
I'm honestly surprised people don't know hayabusa armour is based off ryu hayabusa from ninja gaiden as a collaborative with team ninja. In response you can unlock a spartan as a playable character in dead or alive 4 and the unlock able katana is the dragon sword ryu hayabusa uses in the ninja gaiden games
"Which explains how chief never suffers from recoil"
Reticle Bloom: *exists*
Me: *trying to shoot reticle bloom but I cant because of reticle bloom*
Fun fact about the Hayabusa armor!!
It is modeled after argument Hayabusa from Dead or Alive because DOA4 was a launch title for the 360 that had introduced the character “Spartan: Nicole-458” as a playable character in the roster. Such a cool crossover.
Lot of people seem to forget that the Hyabusa armor is named after Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden
Hayabusa was definitely my favorite armor
Man that Halo 3 Home screen music just drips nostalgia
I remember playing this and trying my hardest to get my Spartan and Elite to look like Master Chief and Arbiter X,D
Am I the only one?
I mean your spartan by default looks exactly like Chief so... Probably?
Arbiter armor in infinite pls...
And a return of elites as a total
Recon was my Jam in 2010 when everyone got the armor from Halo 3 ODST with the Halo 3 Multiplayer Disc by completing all 7 of the Vidmaster Challenges in Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST!
You took my video suggestion! 😀
Also, Tomorrow's my birthday.
I loved the music and Guardian map background you put when talking about Hayabusa Armor
love your vids, please do a video on halo reach marine skins, I beg of you.

I love the way the elite combat harness looks in Halo 3. Definitely one of my favorite looks for the elites in Halo.
Love how everyone would beg for recon armor and I figured out I had it and didn’t even realize it was rare until I got a bunch of messages asking to buy my account when I wore the damn armor......... man I’m really starting to wonder how I got it though
Master Challengues in halo 3
“The harness has remained unchanged for some 11 hundred years and will likely stay that way”
Cries in halo 4
My favourite is by far Hayabusa and Katana.
Yep nothing more terrifying then a Spartan that also knows the way of the samurai
you forgot to mention the ninja gaiden bit. you know the onewhere they added a spartan to dead or alive and halo got Ryu's sweet hat
Hope you're enjoying your vacation at Japan!
Man Red vs Blue really just has been branded into my mind and seeing the Rouge and Eva-8 armor I just see Carolina, and Maine/Meta.
Halo 3. Best Halo. Don't @ me. And I'm saying don't @ me because in reality i want you to @ me.
Paradox agreed, story I will give to 2 but multiplayer def 3
Reach would like a word
Prodigy Gamer no haha
@@Intr0vertical Oh, by all means, I love Reach. It's an amazing game, but it doesn't come quite close. My ranking is Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo CE, Halo Reach. Halo Reach is pretty close to overtaking CE though.
@@Paradox-hv6wr Halo 2>Halo 3>Halo CE>Halo 3 ODST>Halo Wars>Halo Reach>Halo Wars 2>Halo 4>Halo 5.
