I have to admit, the writing for Chiefs dialog was absolutely perfect for his character. Straight to the point, no playing again. Its crazy how they have been able to express so much emotion in Chief as well without a face. Excellently done!
nobody in this campain is "straight to the point". every dialogue is kept vague and unclear. its always the same sceme: "theres something in this ring..." "what?" *rumble* "no time! we have to go!!" -.- mostly when legit questions are asked they are like "i dont know" or "unknown". what does the sequence do? idk. what does Atriox want? unclear. Where is Cortana? dead..ish...alive...echo....something. -.-
The saddest part is this whole game sacrificed it's whole budget to create a sandbox engine with no proper content to what could have been a long and beautiful campaign with dozens of Spartans. Bungie needs to come back and revive this masterpiece, the motherfuckers did what Disney did to star wars, they made the games hollow.
Love what they did with Echo 216. He goes from some civilian volenteer to a legit soldier. I think it tells us all we need to know when chief says "good work soldier" at the end of the game to him.
I agree. His lines are always so short but they have so much impact coming from him since he is so emotionally unavailable and seemingly indifferent in most situations.
He does feel guilty...if it wasn't for him not wanting to destroy cortana none of this would have happen but he let his feelings get in the way and a Spartan should never do that...but chief is different...any one of Noble team would have destroyed her ..maybe not Jorge
1:12:58 As a character I’ve grown up with since CE, I think this line is the MOST human I have ever heard Master Chief. He genuinely sounds concerned or shaken. Great voice acting/work. Very nice.
At 1:04:50 John says “034… Samuel”. That is a reference to Spartan-034 “Samuel”. He was the first Spartan casualty of the Human-Covenant War and one of John’s best friends since the beginning of Halsey’s training program for Spartan II’s. That is why John sounds sad or somber when he says “Samuel” as the last passcode.
@@RoachCatJr no he got it right, do some research on crap before coming and trying to correct ppl who’s already right with ur false information, literally says in the games dialogue “the missions change. They always do”
@Texel76 imagine there being comics and a ton of verifiable content on the internet and refusing to look any of it up so you can make a retarded comment 😂😂
1:37:46 brought a tear to my eye. I’m speechless at the fact that cortana thought ahead an knew the weapon an john was gonna be together as a team. That whole speech gave me goosebumps an nostalgia to the previous halo games. I also like that echo-216 saved master chief in the beginning an started working together. Great campaign even though i wish they started off from the end of halo 5 campaign an maybe brought the arbiter back into the fight.
They need to restart with a new halo 4 after what 343 did with halo 5. Make 4,5, infinity just dreams John had. They cant recover from destroying halo so badly with halo 5
@@judjudersawn2596 idk man. I think they did an amazing job with infinite. Rectified the series as well as they could have. I’m incredibly surprised after the hot garbage we’ve gotten for the past 12 years. Infinite just might be in my top 3 halo campaigns
Ngl the only reason halo 5 was the worst was because of the lack of CO op campaign. Played all these games with my dad and 5 was the first time we had to take turns kinda sucked haven't bought infinite for the same reason
I actually teared up for first time seeing a brute really showing his dedication to the end and yet, though he maybe evil, still gets some honor and respect from his foe (Master Chief).
And when the chief said "Our only way home is straight through the heart of the banished." He is correct, if the banished activate the ring, there will be no home to go back to.
1:36:52 I really like what they did with the Harbinger. Unlike the Covenant, she truly cares about her people's well-being. And in the encyclopedia, it's said that she was a member of the Xalanyn's ruling class. She's not just a soldier doing her duty, she's a noble acting out of sincere devotion to her cause and her people. A far cry from the usual backstabbing ways of Halo's villainous leaders in the past. It almost makes me happy to see her accomplish her goals as a result.
41:05 Chief's experience with Guilty Spark came in handy. He knew the sub-monitor would go nuts as soon as he said he would be destroying the facility. Didn't even have to look to block the attack
Spark. Man what a complicated character. HATED him in the games, but the books gave me a new appreciation for him. I'm glad that Spark survived and found his version of a happy ending in the end.
@@Sosuave95 In Halo 3 he was supposedly destroyed, but in the books his remains were found by an ONI team and Halo: Primordium was Spark telling them his story. He ended up uploading himself into the ship's systems and hijacking it and then later uploaded into the body of a Forerunner Armiger, a Forerunner soldier bot like the ones in Halo 5. He joined the crew of the Ace of Spades, the ship of John Forge's daughter, and later became the caretaker of the Shield World Bastion, the Librarian's ultra-secret laboratory. Spark's got a really interesting story that's for sure, including his backstory.
"I failed her. I will not faill you" Chief's delivery coincides with "Missions change. They always do. The mission is not to save Cortana anymore. It's to save Fernando, humanity.
For the people that still don't understand who are the Endless. In the legendary ending they show a dialogue that basically says they are another whole new species in the Halo universe. They are not the Precursors as some people have been theorizing. They could survive the Halos firing and this scared the Forerunners. In case you don't know, the Forerunners greatest fear was another species that could be superior than them and who could threaten their plans (and this is something that is also mentioned in an audio log of Halo Infinite). The Forerunners made contact saying they were going to help but they actually imprisoned them on Zeta Halo. The Monitor was supposed to watch the prison with the assistance of Offensive Bias
The Endless could be precursors, *the precursors went into a sleep or something and destroyed themselves into powder to re-awaken long long time after the halos are fired* ,so they can rule once again. The harbinger did state she was only a messenger or something, so she probably just awoke the precursors or flood precursors… What I mean is there is no way the precursors could have been destroyed, even by a Halo. Also the gravemind is the primordial so it’s still alive technically.
@@javabucket561 it was revealed though in the halo sintium that the powder wasn't the precursors but a malformed degraded version of the precursors. And that the humans coming upon the flood was a failsafe in the event that the precursors were destroyed. The endless are not the precursors.
@@Istaygroovy the precursors come in all shapes and forms. the people have never seen the precursors.... so it's a new species meaning it could be a new species in the game canon... since in the game the precursors are unknown
@@SuperFAILMC but if the flood is the failsafe for the precursor destruction I can't imagine they'd be alive still. I think the endless are just another entity similar to the forerunners otherwise they'd have the mantle instead of humanity.
I just realized: You can literally have ANY weapon equipped in the cutscenes, and the master chief will hold them like they are *Actually* what he is wielding at that exact moment. It never looked like his hands were clipping through whatever gun he was holding.
And some cutscenes behave differently depending on which weapon you're holding. Example when chief first meets the harbinger at 38:03 chief with a gun he jumps toward the harbinger but if you're holding an energy sword he will swing the sword when jumping. And if you're holding a gravity hammer in the same cutscene when he gets punched in the air through a tree and boulder he uses the hammer to stand up like a cane
@@FarmYardGaming I saw some video of the grav lift going to the spire. The dude legit had marines near him and one's walking toward the grav lift as Cortana clicks her fingers, just see this man go weeeeeee up the lift.
they are most likely in it for the money. In HW2 he tells one of the elites to gather his forces and prove they are still worth their price. so he probably beat and then hired them. similar with jackals, you can hear them a lot in the game talk about a bounty on your head.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. With the covenant disbanded and destroyed, they literally had no where else to go. Like a leaderless army.
@@ericwilliams5721 Still doesnt change the fact that someone is unwilling to pay $20 for a BOOK. Seems a bit... Scam like? And it WAS/IS. So... My point stands and you're supporting a ripoff??
By far, the one moment in Halo history that hit the hardest for me was at 31:00. ONLY with a controller, and only with one, can you understand the emotion behind this -- this one Spartan dies in Chief's hands... and because of the rumblers of the controller... you feel his heart beat fade away, until it is gone. You witness an actual Spartan die in your hands, and are powerless to save them... It honestly made me pause and stop playing Infinite for a few minutes to think about what I just experienced. How it made me feel, my thoughts on life and such. (I know, its a GAME, but still, feeling the pulse of the heartbeat growing weaker to absolutely nothing, and his voice growing more faint till he goes totally silent... It hurts...)
I noticed it at first too, but then turned my attention back to the scene that was happening. It wasn't until the camera panned back to Chief that I realised that the rumbles had stopped.
It’s just so…..damn epic how chief literally tells echo that him and weapon need him. Chief had been through so many battles, a true lone wolf. Has many brothers and sister Spartans fall in battle, but he always pushes forward and right now…. He’s in need of a mere human that could easily be kill by the finger of a brute. It’s just so emotional seeing this side of chief. Knowing under all that armor and augmentations he still has a beating heart at work
I watched the whole thing...why did Chief need Echo, besides save humanity motive? Chief knows how to pilot many UNSC ships no? I thought the scuttler was going to use Cheifs suit to power the ship. Wasn't that why life support was so freezing at the beginning?
@@grimhammer00my guess is, after witnessing Cortana going crazy and killing a lot of innocent people, specially an installation that trained Spartans, chief finally became soft and realized his failure. He knows he fucked up big time and he can’t take that back. Now he’s wary of AI’s, but also he’s sad he got innocent people killed so maybe he’s prioritizing humans lives this time? He always saw casualties as sacrifices that couldn’t be avoided in war, but maybe he wants to do everything he can’t to avoid losing people idk just spit balling out here haha
I absolutely love how the cutscenes switch between first and third person so seamlessly. So satisfying. Especially when entering the AI chip by pressing a button and it instantly goes first person.
absolutely NO. 90% of the time i just wanted to shout at the screen: "EXPLAIN!" or "What is going on?!" -.- Halo CE felt like an adventure! Halo 2, 3, Reach... but THIS was just a confusing mess! never was so disappointed by a Halo Game ever before.
@@Cyro_2235 We don't want everything explained after 1 game, we want a good story. And personally, I would say we got it. I got the feeling of "I WANT TO KNOW MOAR". And that's a good feeling coming from a Halo story that is just beginning what feels like a new true cycle. Could have been better on some things, for sure. But I salute the effort that 343 put into this game campaign. You can feel that they learn over Halo 4 and Halo 5. And I would sign of another 6 years of wait for another campaign like this than less for another Halo 5 story crashlanding I do understand the feeling of "lacklessness" on some points tho, but far from 90%.
50:25 - 54:00 , this cutscene was refreshing to watch on the first playthrough. We've always known that john is more than a weapon, but the way he expresses himself in this scene and encourages himself and echo 216 to continue was very good.
From 50:16 We see a normal human being scared, lonesome, angry and guilty. He feels worthless while standing next to the living legend himself. And has lost all motivation to carry on the fight with the Chief. He wants to be left with the garbage. Then we see Master Chief show his own humanity. His own flaws. And makes this human being feel equal to him. Its a very good scene. Cementing that the Chief is still human. And he will not give up the fight for humanity.
Love the small detail of MC being dropped off the holding rack after being picked up out of space at the start. Its not often they physically show just how heavy he is with his armor which is 1,000 lbs.
Lmaooo, remember when a certain spartan had an "equal fight" with Chief!?! Remember when a punch moved Chief at all? Remember when for some reason they were the same height!? 😂😂😂
56:43 every single moment from the chamber in 343 Guilty Spark, Johnson’s death, the Composer firing, to the opening cutscene just flashed through this man’s head 💀 this is the first time anyone’s asked homeboy if he’s okay.
The textures in tbis game is overall super good i was thinking about uploading a video i made today cuz some friends trashtalked the graphics while the textures are on another level....
lucky for chief a lot of the marines on the ring are ladies 😂 that being said imagine trying to make the moves on him “thanks for saving my life.. etc etc” poor chief wouldn’t even know what to do “we have a mission soldier” “oh i got…” wait did i just accidentally make fan fiction 😂
I teared up at this dialogue “We all fail. We all make mistakes. It’s what makes us human”. Made me think of the line in Halo 4: “Figure out which one of us is the machine”
Indeed, chief had nothing but time to face his inner demons after the loss of cortana in halo 4,in halo 5 he was mostly broken but with the help of blue team maybe Locke halsey and Vadam he became what he is now
1:20:35 gets me emotional every damn time. The music, The Weapon’s shock that Chief is willing to give her a chance to earn his trust, and Chief’s simple and earnest response. I just love everything about this scene. Say what you want about H4 and H5, but I think most of us can agree the way that 343i has been humanizing Chief has been fantastic.
No, 343 never understood the character of masterchief. He was always a myth, legend, a messiah quite literally and when he's no longer needed he surrenders himself in stasis. No personal conflict or strife, that's what he was, where his existence was purely for humanity, so impossibly unreal that it was as if he materialized from a fairy tale. That's the fine line, that's the difference between masterchief and the masterchief. He's no longer the masterchief, he's just another generic action protagonist that doesn't really talk and has to learn his own humanity because he's a robot or whatever, this narrative has been done so many times, better, in other mediums, he's just masterchief now. If u want a good comparison then take the doom slayer, his character is literally what bungie imagined to be the masterchief and all I can say is man, what a downgrade we got with masterchief
@@heftymagic4814 This is such a stupid, asinine response. You’re legitimately upset that Chief is an actual character now, not some mythical figure that no one can relate to, and it’s kind of pathetic. Now Chief is an actual human with emotions and character growth, people can relate and connect with him. He’s no longer some emotionless robot who we just play through the eyes of. And the Doomslayer comparison is so stupid. Doomslayer isn’t a character, he’s just our vehicle for killing demons. Chief is an actual fucking character in an actual story. He shouldn’t just be some emotionless, unrelatable robot who never grows or changes throughout the story.
This game was such a powerhouse for emotion. I actually had tears in most the cutscenes throughout the whole game. 343 showing the human side of Chief more in this game really brought his character out more than any Halo since. The music was such a nice touch as well through out the game, the year wait we had to do was more than worth it. 7:55 , 1:20:35 and 1:37:50 hit me the hardest with all the emotion they could put into those scenes.....what a fantastic fucking game....good job 343, good job.
It really feels like this campaign feels reflective of 343's relationship with the fanbase. Especially with the whole Weapon and Chief storyline. It's a sincere story, and a pretty good one at that. I think I'm looking forward to what Infinite has in store in the future
It's one of the main things that brought Halo back to its roots. An AI/Master Chief co-op relationship. Along with having Master Chief look and act like he use to in the first 3 games. They made him way too over the top and not act like the real Chief in 4 & 5. This just had the feel of an OG Halo game.
@@dagger27 Personally I think 4's narrative was ok-ish for story line, if their intention was to show us the different side of Chief and his motivation in the future, but yeah then 5 just went rouge. Also this game is kinda unfriendly to the new fans, those who haven't played this franchise before or at least knew the lore probably will have a harder time figuring out what's going on.
1:07:50 Damn, Chief accidentally calls the weapon Cortana and visibly flinches at his own mistake. Never seen the man flinch, let alone do a doubletake. The level of vulnerability from the Chief really humanizes him, and I love what they're doing with his character. Props to 343, they're going somewhere this time!
i understood it as him starting to explain something about Cortana but thinks to himself "what's the point?". what helps my point is the fact that the entire game, he almost speaks his feelings but stops himself on several occasions.
@@RoachCatJr based on his inflection, I think he was going to try to explain it but just didn't know how to articulate his point in a brief manner. after all, there's no quick way to emphasize that Cortana fractured her personality, went into the Domain, and decided to become Space Skynet. and it's especially hard to do when you're as socially inept as the Chief.
Damn, this is one hell of a game, just by watching the cut scenes it gets you emotional....How do I express the gratitude? This is more than a game. Much more. It's a story you get captivated by, drawn into. It becomes so much more than just a game. You FEEL the story, the pain, the motivations of the characters. It's a movie "YOU" are a part of. The people who made this..I don't know if they even know how cool this is. Thank you..and to all you detractors out there. Go eat a banana,...and imagine something else, because that's what you probably know anyway.
I love how it showed master chief at the start of the game hesitating when he seen his dead comrades gun. He wanted to be respectful and not loot the possessions of the dead but knew the mission could of depended on it so he took it. This is the first game they show master chief with emotion arguably. Any emotion in previous games were so dead Pan it was hard to tell you kind of just had to assume it’s what he felt. Now you just know, they humanized him x100 this game lol
I like it because in halo 4 Cortana asked chief to figure out if he was human or a machine. Paraphrasing of course because it’s been years since it came out and this is the first game that truly shows his humanity and it makes him so much more of a hero and great character. I’ll always love halo and the chief
Bruh.. In halo 3, master chief was sad for Johnson's death.. but as uk he can't show emotions as he was trained to b a super soldier with no humanity within. But even in halo 4 starting, master chief was still dead pan until cortana told chief to figure out who was the machine.. I love how chief slowly turning into human, while staying the same super soldier at the same time. But I also fear that this will b the reason for his death too
I really like how this game is showing us Chief's strenght and weight as he's a Spartan Like at 6:38 we can see him just pulling the door like its some average sliding door but at 2:24 we see that The Pilot was struggling to open it And at 52:18 we see Chief kneeing and the camera literally shakes. At 4:42 when he gets dropped down everything around moves At 38:14 he breaks a tree by just falling, and then gets up like it was nothing
I like to imagine that, when Chief takes that knee, it's not just his physical weight that makes the camera shake. It's the emotional weight. That weight that is weightless, but weighs you down nonetheless. Echo specifically asks if Chief has ever been scared. So scared that he wants to turn tail and run. And I *hope* that his answer, to himself, was "Of course I have." We all have this image of Chief being an immutable badass made of stone, but he is only human. Of course he has emotions, and of course he's felt fear. Fear far beyond the scope of anything we can imagine. So, I hope that his answer, if he wanted to assure Echo, would have been "Of course I have."
The dialogue in this game is so good. I like that Chief is back to his unintentionally funny one liners. The feeling of exploring Zeta Halo feels like exploring Halo CE again too.
I love how this is the first game that very accurately shows you how heavy Chief is in his armor. The fight with Atriox shows how he pushed in the Warthog's wheel by being slammed into it, his foot steps are loud, after being sent through a tree he lands and still destroys the rock behind him by rolling into it, and my favorite is the sound que in 52:18. when he takes a knee.
Very accurate? Halo has never accurately shown Spartan weight. It should be impossible for Elites to lift Spartans with one hand and yet they do all the time, which is complete bullshjt.
@@Main-Villain There's people in real life that can lift upwards of 800lb with their legs. It's not unreasonable to think elites weighing 300-400lb and towering over most humans at almost 7ft can lift that much with double joined legs. Also take into consideration when the elite lifted Emile that's more than reasonable considering spartan 3s don't weigh a ton like Chief because they're meant more for stealth and sting operations.
@@AgentNibbles Noble six is a command team so they've been fitted with Mjolnir armor. They weigh 1200-1400 lbs in total, which means that's a lot of weight just hanging of that 410lb elites arm. The elite that picked up Emile would've been too off balance to hold him up like that, even more so while he's swinging around. I'm not saying they can't lift them, just the way we see in the games is entirely too unrealistic from a physics perspective
@@Main-Villain Its almost they nerfed Spartans because the original design was too op for the common enemy they designed. Otherwise there wouldnt be a challenge or reason why the spartans are losing lol One of those oops details. Spartans sounded cool as tanks until it conflicted with the games action lol
I love how the ending is them basically apologizing and asking for a chance ‘to rectify’ through Cortana’s words through the fans. Even when weapon chooses her name, she asks chief if it’s okay like as if 343 is asking us if it’s okay. I think they did a good job and learned from their mistakes (like Cortana said) and I think they’ll do a good job moving forward if they keep this up. I have not been excited for halo like this since Bungie left. Good work 343
Echo 216: "We can't fight the entire banished army and stop them from firing the ring alone". Cheif: *Flashbacks to when he destroyed the covenant and the flood in a single road trip around the galaxy* "Yeah we can. Just gotta find some weapons".
A thing I love is seeing a normal human volunteer trying to comprehend the chief at the start. Unlike just about every other human we've seen interact with the chief he's not concerned about humanity as a whole or whatever the mission is when we meet him. He's concerned about himself and the living human(s) he has met. Unlike everyone else we've seen in Halo he questions the chief when the chief says something along the lines of "there's a threat to humanity over there so we're going over there or I'm going alone." Everyone else has responded in one of two ways: 1) how can I help? Or 2) but what about the other threat to humanity over here? We're going thus way! Which always leads to the chief responding "Follow me soldier." Or "the threat I mentioned cannot be left unaddressed so I'm going and don't get on my way it'll just waste both our time."
i was already falling in love with the game but when Echos spilled his guts to chief and chief ended up kneeling down next to him showing he is still a human and not a robot sold it for me. that and the ending were my favorite parts of the game
@@MisterJohnDoe fuck jackals, fuck grunts, fuck elites, fuck brutes and most importantly, fuck the covenant(I don't care if they're banished same thing)
You can really really see how far Chief has come as a human. Speaks more, Verbally helps and reassures. He no longer talks as if he's a soldier, He talks as if he's human.
@@greygalaxy8638 if you read the lore theres loads of flood on zeta halo, technically the last city of the fore runners that lived past the halo firing is on zeta halo . it did have fore runners inside of it aswell
I love this shot at 29:01, with Chief looking over the scenery in the ship with the main theme playing, as a newcomer to this franchise, I look forward to playing the whole campaign
I was worried after Halo 4 and 5, but I have to say that 343 knocked this out of the park. The story especially is new, but also familiar. It's reminiscent of the original Halos. Very good job.
@@davidgutierrez3856 My guy. Non-Halo fans have no idea what the fuck is going on. The only thing this campaign did was have 343i bitterly retcon and kill off their own ideas. This isn't a continuation of Halo 5-this is a soft reboot.
@@LightAndDarkMdness02 true, but it's still better than 5 since it's easy to understand and it actually has interesting characters and plot, the banished and the harbinger make wonders for correcting the main mistakes in 5 hell the only way you could actually understand anything in 5 was through reading a shit ton of lore before that, you couldn't even get it from the get go and yet it was still barely a story to even consider a "story". plus unlike 5 this one actually builds interest in the halo universe while 5 barely does that.
Atriox saying “my face is the last face you will ever see” Is oddly reminiscent of when forge in halo wars impaled the arbiter twice after the arbiter said the same thing…
He was koed in both instances and could’ve potentially died if he didn’t slow down his descent, spread his weight, and lock his armour. Other Spartans have died in similar to lesser falls. Granted those were armours from previous gens but I haven’t really seen anything from this new suit showing improved durability over others. But… he could definitely survive the ledge fall.
If the Endless can time travel, then I understand why the Forerunners fear them. If the Flood could infect the Endless, the Flood could devour every living thing throughout space and time.
@KlazeGamez possibly ships made for destroying the infinity, and remember the AI were turning against humanity at the same time so the infinity was possibly damaged
@KlazeGamez It was the Infinity that ram a RCS-class armored cruiser during Halo 4. And it is only 2km long. Btw, Brutes seems have to develop much more weapons than during the Covenant-era. And the ship that ram Infinity looks designed for it, hammerhead bow on the front of the ship.
38:10 I just like how quickly he recovers and gets up ready to fight after going straight through a tree and shattering a rock. He's definitely in pain but reacts flawlessly with his training like it's nothing. How tough are his bones? Damn!!
Remember that once he felt from space and crash-landed on a planet. When the Marines found him, they simply unlocked his armor and he stood up as if nothing happened.
@KVAcedo27 Holy shit! That's insane. I remember a squad of big ODST guys ambushed him in a gym when he was like 14 and he killed two of them just punching too hard
This game was great at showing Chief's humanity. Usually he's just a badass, weapon of a soldier. But the emotion and empathy they pedal into him is awesome.
1:04:45 I can’t be the only one who instantly recognized “034” and “Samuel”. Idk bout y’all else who did but I died a little inside when those were the codes for the failsafe
🤣 🤣 I was looking for this comment to see if anybody else was bothered by master chiefs lack of respect for people’s personal properties 🤣 made that poor guy have to go out and salvage to replace all that shit like 3 times in a matter of 3 days I would of been fucking pissed lmfao the next transmission would of said you lost all of my shit for the last time chief, I’m halfway home now your on your own 🤣
Halo Infinite has many emotional cutscenes. 343 Industries really did a great job with Halo Infinite, both with gameplay and the story-line, given how long it was delayed. Bravo!
After my second run on Legendary I wondered why my controller vibrated through that cutscene, then I actually tried to actually FEEL the patterns and then I realized it was a heartbeat as it weakened and stopped.
Halo infinite just needed to be more, I don't like people shitting on it cause I enjoyed it but I wish a few things were pushed further. The open world was nice but not varied, the cutscenes were well made but didn't need to be in game (pre-rendered just looks better), the writing and characters were great but the story needed to be the one that happened off screen. 343 proved they have the potential to do better but Halo fans want them gone rather than see what it can become, which makes me worry that Halo games are just gonna come out less and less or the franchise just dies altogether
Absolutely perfect. Thanks to 343 for making a great game with incredible story, and a clear path to continue forward. And thanks to gameclips for the high quality upload. Everything about that was amazing.
I love the stark difference between Chief and echo. Echo has a family at home and everything to lose. Echo is only a human. He is a pilot not a fighter. Meanwhile chief is a weapon. His family thinks he is dead and has nothing really to lose except humanity.
If you think about it, both of what they have- echo's family and Cheif's humanity are both equal to them in terms of value. The part where Cheif says "its what make us human" hits hard as he isnt the godlike being people make him out to be. He still sees himself as a person- a human. Coming back, They both have something of equal value to lose.
I was confused because when the pilot asked Chief if he had anyone special at home, obviously Chief says no but they ask him and the pilot also says no... which is weird cause he had a wife and kid. Are they dead or something?
The fact chief used 034, Samuel as his passcodes. John truly misses his first and best friend. Edited: holy hell. Never gotten this many likes for a comment. Thanks
@@richardavelino7383 it took me a second and I was like. That’s sams number. It was nice. The fact they gave a nod to johns closet friend. And sadly the first Spartan casualty.
Same I was a bit disappointed when they said he was dead in the beginning of the game. I love his backstory and he played with Chief like he was a barbie doll
I'm upset they didn't have our boy Chief take him down. He got some sick punches in but then got owned big time. SO LAME! Ape ox is stupid op and it makes no sense lol. The fact that no spartan has one shotted his face yet bugs me lol. You see the scene from halo wars 2 where 3 spartan twos lose to him miserably like 3 bk scrubs against me in halo reach invasion. It was pathetic. And terribly written too lol. The scene is terrible. How did he get the drop on all 3 of them so easily? How did he get so close without their motion trackers setting off? Why would the leader of a massive army put himself at risk like that? They had a chance to shoot his face several times and just didn't. It was dark even though there was light lol what? Quick cuts like crazy made it hard to see what was happening. It was a joke lol. 343 is not very good at making spartans bad ass. Bungie did a much better job at that.
It's weird. They set her up as the primary antagonist in 5. Then reduce her down to "Whoopsie daisies, sorry I went all space hitler. My bad bro. Your new e-girl is me now. Peace."
Tbh I didn’t like all that cortana going nuts storyline anyway. Cortana should’ve stayed dead at the end of Halo 4. But Infinite ♾ does imo manages to do a good job at wiping the slate clean after the mess that was Halo 5. I doesn’t do much else tho. Need another campaign for this game and quick.
@@ahmedmaniyaruni4300 I agree with everything you said. Just disappointed it doesn’t push the story forward very much. Excited to see where it goes from here
1:05:00 The confirmation word being "Samuel" is a nice reference to Samuel-034, which was one of Chief's squad members on Blue Team and the first spartan casualty iirc.
41:05 I can see in my head Chief just rolling his eyes under that helmet like 'Well shit, here we go again. Time to beat the crap out of another hovering sphere.' after he blocks the monitor's beam. Also, I love how deep Chief can get at times, with how he opens up emotionally at times and sometimes gives snippets of wisdom and inspiration to others (often Echo-216). It makes him really likable as a character. And still, he gives those cheesy (but badass at the same time), 80s action hero-esque one-liners.
Well, not just that, but also Echo 216 gave Chief the one gun he had, that had _one bullet_ left. What do you think he intended to do with that bullet if things had continued as they were, without having encountered the Chief? That shit got super dark, super fast.
I loved this campaign. Guardians was the only campaign I didn’t finish; I didn’t get into it as much as the others. I started playing Halo when the MC Collection came out, and was totally hooked. I was hoping Infinite would be on the same level of personal enjoyment as any of the campaigns in the collection, and man, Infinite exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t long before I realized it is my favorite Halo campaign. I was a little lost, not playing Guardians, so that’s next for me. Watching this helped me get my bearings, I for one appreciate your effort for taking the time to put this together. Even though you didn’t put this together for me personally, thank you.
1:22:40 this moment right here literally gave me Shadow of mordor/war vibes, especially when Escharum did that "finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary" intro thing plus he sounds like one of those high level olog-hai bosses in SoW
This game is a perfect setup to the future storyline DLCs that will be released. The endless is definitely a Precursor. If there is something more powerful than a flood, it must be their creators(just a cliche since the flood came from them). Even the powerful gravemind and keymind never comprehended the powers precursors had. So the feeling of something huge coming our way has sprouted...
The flood IS the precursors. The precursors are the physical embodiment of the living universe, and they serve one goal. That is to give the experiences of life to the living universe. The precursors seeded that life, and then transformed into the flood to absorb their experience. All life in the universe was created to support sentient beings, and sentient beings were created to feed the hunger of the living universe. Essentially, Humanity and all the other things, are just food. Halo has some really depressing lore.
I love how Chief keeps telling "Is it safe" he doesn't want to lose anyone again, Cortona and Spartan Griffin, tbh alot more, he moves on but never forgets
The pilot is my favourite character in the campaign so far. I feel like I'd be him. I wouldn't be the hero, I'd be the poor bastard who only wants to go home.

I have to admit, the writing for Chiefs dialog was absolutely perfect for his character. Straight to the point, no playing again. Its crazy how they have been able to express so much emotion in Chief as well without a face. Excellently done!
Reminds me of the writing for the Mandalorian… script work without a face. It’s excellent in that show and here in this script..

The saddest part is this whole game sacrificed it's whole budget to create a sandbox engine with no proper content to what could have been a long and beautiful campaign with dozens of Spartans. Bungie needs to come back and revive this masterpiece, the motherfuckers did what Disney did to star wars, they made the games hollow.
Love what they did with Echo 216. He goes from some civilian volenteer to a legit soldier. I think it tells us all we need to know when chief says "good work soldier" at the end of the game to him.

The power of chiefs lines is insane. When the weapon said "And you blame yourself?" and Chief said "Yes". So much said with so few words
I agree. His lines are always so short but they have so much impact coming from him since he is so emotionally unavailable and seemingly indifferent in most situations.
When does he say this?
He does feel guilty...if it wasn't for him not wanting to destroy cortana none of this would have happen but he let his feelings get in the way and a Spartan should never do that...but chief is different...any one of Noble team would have destroyed her ..maybe not Jorge

That line and in Halo 4 when Cortanas chip is destroyed and he yells "Cortana!"

He was the first Spartan casualty of the Human-Covenant War and one of John’s best friends since the beginning of Halsey’s training program for Spartan II’s. That is why John sounds sad or somber when he says “Samuel” as the last passcode.

Ngl the only reason halo 5 was the worst was because of the lack of CO op campaign. Played all these games with my dad and 5 was the first time we had to take turns kinda sucked haven't bought infinite for the same reason

Chief knows a soldier when he sees one they are both fighting for what they believe is right
When he talks to Fernando about how he failed Cortana, and that ONE line, "I failed her. I will NOT fail you." Favorite line in the whole game.

@FraggedSpartan that Scene is Beautiful 😊😌.
chief didint fail crap. 343 FAILED HALO with their terrible writing bunch of greedy corporate gits. halo sucks 343 cant write for jack
And when the chief said "Our only way home is straight through the heart of the banished." He is correct, if the banished activate the ring, there will be no home to go back to.
1:36:52 I really like what they did with the Harbinger. Unlike the Covenant, she truly cares about her people's well-being. And in the encyclopedia, it's said that she was a member of the Xalanyn's ruling class. She's not just a soldier doing her duty, she's a noble acting out of sincere devotion to her cause and her people. A far cry from the usual backstabbing ways of Halo's villainous leaders in the past. It almost makes me happy to see her accomplish her goals as a result.
Echo: We cannot possibly contend with all the enemies on the ring!
Chief: "we?"
"What we? Only me."
Well Echo was the one to find and reactivate chiefs armor...

@@WarGrowlmon18what happened to him i forgot ?
@@Sosuave95 In Halo 3 he was supposedly destroyed, but in the books his remains were found by an ONI team and Halo: Primordium was Spark telling them his story. He ended up uploading himself into the ship's systems and hijacking it and then later uploaded into the body of a Forerunner Armiger, a Forerunner soldier bot like the ones in Halo 5. He joined the crew of the Ace of Spades, the ship of John Forge's daughter, and later became the caretaker of the Shield World Bastion, the Librarian's ultra-secret laboratory. Spark's got a really interesting story that's for sure, including his backstory.
"I failed her. I will not faill you" Chief's delivery coincides with "Missions change. They always do. The mission is not to save Cortana anymore. It's to save Fernando, humanity.
Really love the pilot, maybe I'm biased because he has the same name as me, but still.
For the people that still don't understand who are the Endless. In the legendary ending they show a dialogue that basically says they are another whole new species in the Halo universe. They are not the Precursors as some people have been theorizing. They could survive the Halos firing and this scared the Forerunners.
In case you don't know, the Forerunners greatest fear was another species that could be superior than them and who could threaten their plans (and this is something that is also mentioned in an audio log of Halo Infinite). The Forerunners made contact saying they were going to help but they actually imprisoned them on Zeta Halo. The Monitor was supposed to watch the prison with the assistance of Offensive Bias
The Endless could be precursors, *the precursors went into a sleep or something and destroyed themselves into powder to re-awaken long long time after the halos are fired* ,so they can rule once again. The harbinger did state she was only a messenger or something, so she probably just awoke the precursors or flood precursors…
What I mean is there is no way the precursors could have been destroyed, even by a Halo. Also the gravemind is the primordial so it’s still alive technically.
@@javabucket561 it was revealed though in the halo sintium that the powder wasn't the precursors but a malformed degraded version of the precursors. And that the humans coming upon the flood was a failsafe in the event that the precursors were destroyed. The endless are not the precursors.
yawn is all I gotta say to all this lol.
@@Istaygroovy the precursors come in all shapes and forms. the people have never seen the precursors.... so it's a new species meaning it could be a new species in the game canon... since in the game the precursors are unknown
@@SuperFAILMC but if the flood is the failsafe for the precursor destruction I can't imagine they'd be alive still. I think the endless are just another entity similar to the forerunners otherwise they'd have the mantle instead of humanity.
I just realized: You can literally have ANY weapon equipped in the cutscenes, and the master chief will hold them like they are *Actually* what he is wielding at that exact moment. It never looked like his hands were clipping through whatever gun he was holding.
And some cutscenes behave differently depending on which weapon you're holding. Example when chief first meets the harbinger at 38:03 chief with a gun he jumps toward the harbinger but if you're holding an energy sword he will swing the sword when jumping. And if you're holding a gravity hammer in the same cutscene when he gets punched in the air through a tree and boulder he uses the hammer to stand up like a cane
Fun fact: fusion coils, marines and vehicles persist in cutscenes. You can have illegal amounts of fun with these.
@@FarmYardGaming I saw some video of the grav lift going to the spire. The dude legit had marines near him and one's walking toward the grav lift as Cortana clicks her fingers, just see this man go weeeeeee up the lift.
It's seriously so cool to see brutes and elites getting along. Atriox must truly be an amazing leader to bring them all together
It’s not like the Elites had a choice lol but I agree it’s cool af to see them fighting together
they are most likely in it for the money. In HW2 he tells one of the elites to gather his forces and prove they are still worth their price. so he probably beat and then hired them. similar with jackals, you can hear them a lot in the game talk about a bounty on your head.
I guess I'm referring to Escheram and his elite pal that was consoling him lol
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
With the covenant disbanded and destroyed, they literally had no where else to go.
Like a leaderless army.
This is a splinter faction. A lot of sangheli still despise brutes and vice versa

By far, the one moment in Halo history that hit the hardest for me was at 31:00. ONLY with a controller, and only with one, can you understand the emotion behind this -- this one Spartan dies in Chief's hands... and because of the rumblers of the controller... you feel his heart beat fade away, until it is gone. You witness an actual Spartan die in your hands, and are powerless to save them... It honestly made me pause and stop playing Infinite for a few minutes to think about what I just experienced. How it made me feel, my thoughts on life and such. (I know, its a GAME, but still, feeling the pulse of the heartbeat growing weaker to absolutely nothing, and his voice growing more faint till he goes totally silent... It hurts...)
I noticed it at first too, but then turned my attention back to the scene that was happening. It wasn't until the camera panned back to Chief that I realised that the rumbles had stopped.
Man he got lost on his way, spartans never die right, they just go m.i.a
Love how Chief wants to destroy the ring and the monitor wants to shoot them and he’s like “nope, been there done that”

Has many brothers and sister Spartans fall in battle, but he always pushes forward and right now…. He’s in need of a mere human that could easily be kill by the finger of a brute. It’s just so emotional seeing this side of chief. Knowing under all that armor and augmentations he still has a beating heart at work

@@grimhammer00my guess is, after witnessing Cortana going crazy and killing a lot of innocent people, specially an installation that trained Spartans, chief finally became soft and realized his failure. He knows he fucked up big time and he can’t take that back. Now he’s wary of AI’s, but also he’s sad he got innocent people killed so maybe he’s prioritizing humans lives this time? He always saw casualties as sacrifices that couldn’t be avoided in war, but maybe he wants to do everything he can’t to avoid losing people idk just spit balling out here haha

We see a normal human being scared, lonesome, angry and guilty. He feels worthless while standing next to the living legend himself. And has lost all motivation to carry on the fight with the Chief. He wants to be left with the garbage.
Then we see Master Chief show his own humanity. His own flaws. And makes this human being feel equal to him.
Its a very good scene. Cementing that the Chief is still human. And he will not give up the fight for humanity.

No, 343 never understood the character of masterchief. He was always a myth, legend, a messiah quite literally and when he's no longer needed he surrenders himself in stasis. No personal conflict or strife, that's what he was, where his existence was purely for humanity, so impossibly unreal that it was as if he materialized from a fairy tale. That's the fine line, that's the difference between masterchief and the masterchief. He's no longer the masterchief, he's just another generic action protagonist that doesn't really talk and has to learn his own humanity because he's a robot or whatever, this narrative has been done so many times, better, in other mediums, he's just masterchief now. If u want a good comparison then take the doom slayer, his character is literally what bungie imagined to be the masterchief and all I can say is man, what a downgrade we got with masterchief
@@heftymagic4814 This is such a stupid, asinine response. You’re legitimately upset that Chief is an actual character now, not some mythical figure that no one can relate to, and it’s kind of pathetic. Now Chief is an actual human with emotions and character growth, people can relate and connect with him. He’s no longer some emotionless robot who we just play through the eyes of.
And the Doomslayer comparison is so stupid. Doomslayer isn’t a character, he’s just our vehicle for killing demons. Chief is an actual fucking character in an actual story. He shouldn’t just be some emotionless, unrelatable robot who never grows or changes throughout the story.

It's one of the main things that brought Halo back to its roots. An AI/Master Chief co-op relationship. Along with having Master Chief look and act like he use to in the first 3 games. They made him way too over the top and not act like the real Chief in 4 & 5. This just had the feel of an OG Halo game.

@corey brooks For me it's a decent 8/10, the majority of the reviews and players' reactions are also positive. Everyone can have their own opinion tho
1:07:50 Damn, Chief accidentally calls the weapon Cortana and visibly flinches at his own mistake. Never seen the man flinch, let alone do a doubletake. The level of vulnerability from the Chief really humanizes him, and I love what they're doing with his character. Props to 343, they're going somewhere this time!
i understood it as him starting to explain something about Cortana but thinks to himself "what's the point?". what helps my point is the fact that the entire game, he almost speaks his feelings but stops himself on several occasions.
@@RoachCatJr based on his inflection, I think he was going to try to explain it but just didn't know how to articulate his point in a brief manner. after all, there's no quick way to emphasize that Cortana fractured her personality, went into the Domain, and decided to become Space Skynet. and it's especially hard to do when you're as socially inept as the Chief.
No he was talking about Cortana, not calling her Cortana.
What name did she choose?
@@jsgaming6469 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I love how chief instantly gets back up at 38:15 so badass
When chief jumped out of the spire and into the pelican and it the played the classic Halo CE theme I legitimately almost cried.
"Falling towards the skyyyyyyy!"
@@Nostroman_Praetor waiting for my ride
When people ask me have you ever cried?
I think that was like the 4th time in the game that I cried when I was playing it lmao
For a brick, he flew pretty good!
They never tell you what the AI is suppose to be called. Youre suppose to assume its Cortana but I secretly hope she chooses Google search assistant.
I'm pretty sure her name is Weapon.
Lmao
Mb just watched the ending clip lol
Honestly I hope she didn't name herself Cortana, it just kinda feels weird
@@Raoxa yeah, I think that's what they're going for here, but it falls a little flat for me. Kinda like this franchise's "Rey Skywalker" moment.
Damn, this is one hell of a game, just by watching the cut scenes it gets you emotional....How do I express the gratitude? This is more than a game. Much more. It's a story you get captivated by, drawn into. It becomes so much more than just a game. You FEEL the story, the pain, the motivations of the characters. It's a movie "YOU" are a part of. The people who made this..I don't know if they even know how cool this is. Thank you..and to all you detractors out there. Go eat a banana,...and imagine something else, because that's what you probably know anyway.
I love how it showed master chief at the start of the game hesitating when he seen his dead comrades gun. He wanted to be respectful and not loot the possessions of the dead but knew the mission could of depended on it so he took it. This is the first game they show master chief with emotion arguably. Any emotion in previous games were so dead Pan it was hard to tell you kind of just had to assume it’s what he felt. Now you just know, they humanized him x100 this game lol
I like it because in halo 4 Cortana asked chief to figure out if he was human or a machine. Paraphrasing of course because it’s been years since it came out and this is the first game that truly shows his humanity and it makes him so much more of a hero and great character. I’ll always love halo and the chief
Meanwhile I t bag unsc that I've betrayed and take their power weapons
I like the first body he passes, he holds it gently for a moment then carries on
Bruh..
In halo 3, master chief was sad for Johnson's death.. but as uk he can't show emotions as he was trained to b a super soldier with no humanity within. But even in halo 4 starting, master chief was still dead pan until cortana told chief to figure out who was the machine..
I love how chief slowly turning into human, while staying the same super soldier at the same time. But I also fear that this will b the reason for his death too
Eh. Making it mellow dramatic just like StarTrekSTD, kinda makes it a soap opera. Rather then a single man fighting a war.
I really like how this game is showing us Chief's strenght and weight as he's a Spartan
Like at 6:38 we can see him just pulling the door like its some average sliding door but at 2:24 we see that The Pilot was struggling to open it
And at 52:18 we see Chief kneeing and the camera literally shakes. At 4:42 when he gets dropped down everything around moves
At 38:14 he breaks a tree by just falling, and then gets up like it was nothing
I like to imagine that, when Chief takes that knee, it's not just his physical weight that makes the camera shake.
It's the emotional weight. That weight that is weightless, but weighs you down nonetheless.
Echo specifically asks if Chief has ever been scared. So scared that he wants to turn tail and run. And I *hope* that his answer, to himself, was "Of course I have."
We all have this image of Chief being an immutable badass made of stone, but he is only human. Of course he has emotions, and of course he's felt fear. Fear far beyond the scope of anything we can imagine.
So, I hope that his answer, if he wanted to assure Echo, would have been "Of course I have."
@@yourdoom6554 ligma balls
and when the Harbinger launched him, his flying body shredded a tree and boulder along the way
I mean average spartan weights like half a ton
well im pretty sure hes easily over 1000lbs soooo.... Duh
The dialogue in this game is so good. I like that Chief is back to his unintentionally funny one liners. The feeling of exploring Zeta Halo feels like exploring Halo CE again too.
I love how this is the first game that very accurately shows you how heavy Chief is in his armor. The fight with Atriox shows how he pushed in the Warthog's wheel by being slammed into it, his foot steps are loud, after being sent through a tree he lands and still destroys the rock behind him by rolling into it, and my favorite is the sound que in 52:18. when he takes a knee.
cue
Very accurate? Halo has never accurately shown Spartan weight. It should be impossible for Elites to lift Spartans with one hand and yet they do all the time, which is complete bullshjt.
@@Main-Villain There's people in real life that can lift upwards of 800lb with their legs. It's not unreasonable to think elites weighing 300-400lb and towering over most humans at almost 7ft can lift that much with double joined legs. Also take into consideration when the elite lifted Emile that's more than reasonable considering spartan 3s don't weigh a ton like Chief because they're meant more for stealth and sting operations.
@@AgentNibbles Noble six is a command team so they've been fitted with Mjolnir armor. They weigh 1200-1400 lbs in total, which means that's a lot of weight just hanging of that 410lb elites arm. The elite that picked up Emile would've been too off balance to hold him up like that, even more so while he's swinging around.
I'm not saying they can't lift them, just the way we see in the games is entirely too unrealistic from a physics perspective
@@Main-Villain Its almost they nerfed Spartans because the original design was too op for the common enemy they designed. Otherwise there wouldnt be a challenge or reason why the spartans are losing lol One of those oops details. Spartans sounded cool as tanks until it conflicted
with the games action lol
I love how the ending is them basically apologizing and asking for a chance ‘to rectify’ through Cortana’s words through the fans. Even when weapon chooses her name, she asks chief if it’s okay like as if 343 is asking us if it’s okay. I think they did a good job and learned from their mistakes (like Cortana said) and I think they’ll do a good job moving forward if they keep this up. I have not been excited for halo like this since Bungie left. Good work 343
For me Cortana will always be the most iconic AI, but it's time for the next gen to come and mark the difference.
"We're sorry for Halo 5. Have this"-343
@@mannysmith5397 You deserve it for staying by us for those long six years.
THey should've just made a better story around the first time, fucking idiots.
I’m very impressed to see that infinite’s campaign fixed a lot of things the previous games ruined without retconning a single one of them.
Love how Chief steps in front of the weapon to block the monitors beam because he learnt that when Johnson died at the end of halo 3 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Because Tony learns from his mistakes
Echo 216: "We can't fight the entire banished army and stop them from firing the ring alone".
Cheif: *Flashbacks to when he destroyed the covenant and the flood in a single road trip around the galaxy* "Yeah we can. Just gotta find some weapons".
Facts tho
A thing I love is seeing a normal human volunteer trying to comprehend the chief at the start. Unlike just about every other human we've seen interact with the chief he's not concerned about humanity as a whole or whatever the mission is when we meet him. He's concerned about himself and the living human(s) he has met. Unlike everyone else we've seen in Halo he questions the chief when the chief says something along the lines of "there's a threat to humanity over there so we're going over there or I'm going alone." Everyone else has responded in one of two ways: 1) how can I help? Or 2) but what about the other threat to humanity over here? We're going thus way! Which always leads to the chief responding "Follow me soldier." Or "the threat I mentioned cannot be left unaddressed so I'm going and don't get on my way it'll just waste both our time."
i was already falling in love with the game but when Echos spilled his guts to chief and chief ended up kneeling down next to him showing he is still a human and not a robot sold it for me. that and the ending were my favorite parts of the game
I love how Chief is very careful in the beginning with his fallen comrades so as not to deface their bodies.
But will nonchalantly drop a warthog on them at the FOBs

You can really really see how far Chief has come as a human. Speaks more, Verbally helps and reassures. He no longer talks as if he's a soldier, He talks as if he's human.

Love it.
I love this shot at 29:01, with Chief looking over the scenery in the ship with the main theme playing, as a newcomer to this franchise, I look forward to playing the whole campaign
How was it
It'd make a fire wallpaper.
The opening scene is probs one of the best I've seen from halo in a while.
A badly choreographed fight with lore inconsistency is good to you?

I was worried after Halo 4 and 5, but I have to say that 343 knocked this out of the park. The story especially is new, but also familiar. It's reminiscent of the original Halos. Very good job.
This was vanilla as fuck, I honestly preferred 4 and 5 hoping for 6 to continue the story.
@@fota5406 the next few halo campaigns are definitely going to be in infinite.
@@fota5406 they did continue the story my guy this is all after the things that happened in 5 only actually good and easy to understand.
@@davidgutierrez3856
My guy. Non-Halo fans have no idea what the fuck is going on. The only thing this campaign did was have 343i bitterly retcon and kill off their own ideas. This isn't a continuation of Halo 5-this is a soft reboot.
@@LightAndDarkMdness02 true, but it's still better than 5 since it's easy to understand and it actually has interesting characters and plot, the banished and the harbinger make wonders for correcting the main mistakes in 5 hell the only way you could actually understand anything in 5 was through reading a shit ton of lore before that, you couldn't even get it from the get go and yet it was still barely a story to even consider a "story". plus unlike 5 this one actually builds interest in the halo universe while 5 barely does that.
Atriox saying “my face is the last face you will ever see”
Is oddly reminiscent of when forge in halo wars impaled the arbiter twice after the arbiter said the same thing…
23:01 “He did not specify in how many pieces 😈”
*immediately dies*
Imagine having the chance to finish the Master Chief and just dropping him off some ledge. This man has fallen from orbit and been fine.
He was koed in both instances and could’ve potentially died if he didn’t slow down his descent, spread his weight, and lock his armour.
Other Spartans have died in similar to lesser falls.
Granted those were armours from previous gens but I haven’t really seen anything from this new suit showing improved durability over others.
But… he could definitely survive the ledge fall.
@@CollegeBallYouknow just get more spartan core bruh
TWICE
As stated, the intent was never to kill Chief. It was to make him watch and float, helplessly
Hes the best flying brick, ever
30:00 "welcome to my tower, Master Cheif"

44:08 When chief doesn't vibrate from the turbulence but Echo shakes like crazy. What an absolute unit.
Wadiyatalkinabout
If the Endless can time travel, then I understand why the Forerunners fear them. If the Flood could infect the Endless, the Flood could devour every living thing throughout space and time.
52:09-53:20. Defeat to reality to carrying on. The story of Halo.
Seriously we need to see how the battle happened between the infinity and the banished.
Well we know it got struck by 4 different ships. Crazy to think it’s destruction took little more than 4 minutes.
From what i could ascertain, ambush
@KlazeGamez possibly ships made for destroying the infinity, and remember the AI were turning against humanity at the same time so the infinity was possibly damaged
i think theyre going to make some kind of dlc or expansion to the campaign along the road. that might be one of them along with the flood on the ark
@KlazeGamez It was the Infinity that ram a RCS-class armored cruiser during Halo 4. And it is only 2km long. Btw, Brutes seems have to develop much more weapons than during the Covenant-era. And the ship that ram Infinity looks designed for it, hammerhead bow on the front of the ship.
38:10 I just like how quickly he recovers and gets up ready to fight after going straight through a tree and shattering a rock. He's definitely in pain but reacts flawlessly with his training like it's nothing.
How tough are his bones? Damn!!
Don't forgot he does have forerunner DNA now making pretty dam strong
Up to 33% of his bones are carbide ceramic. Was part of the Spartan II augmentation.
Remember that once he felt from space and crash-landed on a planet. When the Marines found him, they simply unlocked his armor and he stood up as if nothing happened.
@KVAcedo27 Holy shit! That's insane.
I remember a squad of big ODST guys ambushed him in a gym when he was like 14 and he killed two of them just punching too hard
@@Brightenikous One of these days he's going to land on something as stubborn as he is 😂
This game was great at showing Chief's humanity. Usually he's just a badass, weapon of a soldier. But the emotion and empathy they pedal into him is awesome.
1:04:45 I can’t be the only one who instantly recognized “034” and “Samuel”. Idk bout y’all else who did but I died a little inside when those were the codes for the failsafe
It's kinda sad, that the code , and stuff is off johns first spartan death... where he lost a friend or had his friend sarcrafice himself..
And “red flag” was the name of the mission they were on
The amount of times the pilot opens the back to have all of his supplies flying away 😂
yeah happy im not the only one that noticed that
I thought "WHAT A WASTE!!".
Shouldve strapped it down after the second time! Lol
🤣 🤣 I was looking for this comment to see if anybody else was bothered by master chiefs lack of respect for people’s personal properties 🤣 made that poor guy have to go out and salvage to replace all that shit like 3 times in a matter of 3 days I would of been fucking pissed lmfao the next transmission would of said you lost all of my shit for the last time chief, I’m halfway home now your on your own 🤣
Should’ve kept it with him in the cockpit ig. But I still wanna know how this man can fly a pelican better than the entire UNSC Air Force
Halo Infinite has many emotional cutscenes. 343 Industries really did a great job with Halo Infinite, both with gameplay and the story-line, given how long it was delayed. Bravo!
30:43 With a controller you can feel Griffin's heartbeat slow and weaken, until its eventually gone
I was just as pissed as chief was after that
Damn-that’s a nice touch
Holy crap, I have never noticed.
After my second run on Legendary I wondered why my controller vibrated through that cutscene, then I actually tried to actually FEEL the patterns and then I realized it was a heartbeat as it weakened and stopped.
I just love the chemistry between the main characters, phenomenal writing aswell as body language from Chief alone!
Halo infinite just needed to be more, I don't like people shitting on it cause I enjoyed it but I wish a few things were pushed further. The open world was nice but not varied, the cutscenes were well made but didn't need to be in game (pre-rendered just looks better), the writing and characters were great but the story needed to be the one that happened off screen. 343 proved they have the potential to do better but Halo fans want them gone rather than see what it can become, which makes me worry that Halo games are just gonna come out less and less or the franchise just dies altogether
Absolutely perfect. Thanks to 343 for making a great game with incredible story, and a clear path to continue forward. And thanks to gameclips for the high quality upload.
Everything about that was amazing.
I love the stark difference between Chief and echo. Echo has a family at home and everything to lose. Echo is only a human. He is a pilot not a fighter. Meanwhile chief is a weapon. His family thinks he is dead and has nothing really to lose except humanity.
If you think about it, both of what they have- echo's family and Cheif's humanity are both equal to them in terms of value.
The part where Cheif says "its what make us human" hits hard as he isnt the godlike being people make him out to be. He still sees himself as a person- a human.
Coming back, They both have something of equal value to lose.
Not even a pilot... aviation engineer. Basically a non combatant
His family is dead
Chief and Weapon chemistry is so good,m😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️
I was confused because when the pilot asked Chief if he had anyone special at home, obviously Chief says no but they ask him and the pilot also says no... which is weird cause he had a wife and kid. Are they dead or something?
27:15 you dont understand how hyped i got when this theme hit holy mother of feels i was ready to kill some banished so hard
The fact chief used 034, Samuel as his passcodes. John truly misses his first and best friend.
Edited: holy hell. Never gotten this many likes for a comment. Thanks
Nice catch!
@@richardavelino7383 it took me a second and I was like. That’s sams number. It was nice. The fact they gave a nod to johns closet friend. And sadly the first Spartan casualty.

@@zombieplague881 not the first casualty. Over half died during training/augmentation
which part?
I’m so glad Atriox is still alive cause he is a massive unit
Big freakin sigma chad
Same I was a bit disappointed when they said he was dead in the beginning of the game. I love his backstory and he played with Chief like he was a barbie doll
Wait, Artois is alive?
I'm upset they didn't have our boy Chief take him down. He got some sick punches in but then got owned big time. SO LAME! Ape ox is stupid op and it makes no sense lol. The fact that no spartan has one shotted his face yet bugs me lol.
You see the scene from halo wars 2 where 3 spartan twos lose to him miserably like 3 bk scrubs against me in halo reach invasion. It was pathetic. And terribly written too lol. The scene is terrible. How did he get the drop on all 3 of them so easily? How did he get so close without their motion trackers setting off? Why would the leader of a massive army put himself at risk like that? They had a chance to shoot his face several times and just didn't. It was dark even though there was light lol what? Quick cuts like crazy made it hard to see what was happening. It was a joke lol. 343 is not very good at making spartans bad ass. Bungie did a much better job at that.

@@RadarHawk Facts, feels like a soft reset of the series.
Tbh I didn’t like all that cortana going nuts storyline anyway. Cortana should’ve stayed dead at the end of Halo 4. But Infinite ♾ does imo manages to do a good job at wiping the slate clean after the mess that was Halo 5. I doesn’t do much else tho. Need another campaign for this game and quick.
@@ahmedmaniyaruni4300 I agree with everything you said. Just disappointed it doesn’t push the story forward very much. Excited to see where it goes from here
Its so stupid, we all want to know the full story
I watched all these cutscenes on New Year’s Eve. The first Cortana’s speech at the end served to ring in my 2022 with hope.
1:05:00 The confirmation word being "Samuel" is a nice reference to Samuel-034, which was one of Chief's squad members on Blue Team and the first spartan casualty iirc.
Yup. It was right after they got the Mark IV MJOLNIR armor. No energy shields in that model. Sam was original Blue team with Chief and Kelly.
41:05 I can see in my head Chief just rolling his eyes under that helmet like 'Well shit, here we go again. Time to beat the crap out of another hovering sphere.' after he blocks the monitor's beam.
Also, I love how deep Chief can get at times, with how he opens up emotionally at times and sometimes gives snippets of wisdom and inspiration to others (often Echo-216). It makes him really likable as a character. And still, he gives those cheesy (but badass at the same time), 80s action hero-esque one-liners.

I love the reference back to halo CE with getting the pistol with no ammo, "It's enough"
Well, not just that, but also Echo 216 gave Chief the one gun he had, that had _one bullet_ left. What do you think he intended to do with that bullet if things had continued as they were, without having encountered the Chief? That shit got super dark, super fast.
I loved this campaign. Guardians was the only campaign I didn’t finish; I didn’t get into it as much as the others. I started playing Halo when the MC Collection came out, and was totally hooked. I was hoping Infinite would be on the same level of personal enjoyment as any of the campaigns in the collection, and man, Infinite exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t long before I realized it is my favorite Halo campaign. I was a little lost, not playing Guardians, so that’s next for me. Watching this helped me get my bearings, I for one appreciate your effort for taking the time to put this together. Even though you didn’t put this together for me personally, thank you.
1:22:40 this moment right here literally gave me Shadow of mordor/war vibes, especially when Escharum did that "finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary" intro thing plus he sounds like one of those high level olog-hai bosses in SoW
This game is a perfect setup to the future storyline DLCs that will be released. The endless is definitely a Precursor. If there is something more powerful than a flood, it must be their creators(just a cliche since the flood came from them). Even the powerful gravemind and keymind never comprehended the powers precursors had. So the feeling of something huge coming our way has sprouted...
Well the flood are Precursors they went created by them
The flood IS the precursors. The precursors are the physical embodiment of the living universe, and they serve one goal. That is to give the experiences of life to the living universe. The precursors seeded that life, and then transformed into the flood to absorb their experience. All life in the universe was created to support sentient beings, and sentient beings were created to feed the hunger of the living universe. Essentially, Humanity and all the other things, are just food. Halo has some really depressing lore.
Do you know if the DLC will be free, because this game alredy almost $100 USD and it feels bland.
There is nothing before the flood

The pilot is my favourite character in the campaign so far. I feel like I'd be him. I wouldn't be the hero, I'd be the poor bastard who only wants to go home.
