Dude Halo now? Crush it my guy. Personally Mass Effect is my favorite, so even though I give you a like every video...well I guess I'd contine to do it but with Mass effect
i often wonder why multiple species weren't rolled into the honor guard it would have been a nice symbol of unity, as well as a diversification of its forces but I guess only the elite were 'worthy' of the role
Well mostly just weren't capable, but mostly yes because the elites are the only worthy, grunts aren't worthy, and the covenant never really cares for diversity or unity, other species were below them
200,000,000 likes I would love to see a small video of a Split lips sangheili honor guard vs a Grub honor guard... My credits are slightly mixed on Whom would win... Keep up the great videos
Elite: "Stupid Prohpets. Why kick us out, for those smelly apes?! We elites have always guarded the higher ups. This is an unforgiving betrayal of my beliefs in the Great Journey!" ???: "And what's so elite about you rip jaws?" Elite: "WHO DARES DISHONOUR THE HOLY- Shit." *Sees Spartan Red team standing there, surrounded by elite bodies* Elite: "I mean; the elite honour guards are.... over there.... the hairy elites. The ones who look hairy... and brutish...." Jerome: "Thanks man. You aren't a Covenant member, are you?" Elite: "No, Nah-nah-nope. Thats over there!" Jerome: "Alright. Just... watch yourself. Douglas here; he has a love of surprise killing Covenant Elites. This mess, behind us? All him." Douglas: "I just like my shiney, purple knife blade. It glistens in the star light, like luminous paint." ^_^ Elite: "___" Alice: "Dont worry. Jerome and I are more, fight them from the front, types." *She shows elite her chain gun. And hits a button on the control pad. Spinning it up.* Elite: ;_; Jerome: "Alice, calm the Grunt grinder." *referring to her gun* "You are making our new friend here, nervous." Elite: "Friend?" Jerome: "Yeah, you have been very helpful. I'm almost inclined to NOT shoot you." xD Elite: ;_; Douglas, "Aw, he's crying.... can Elites cry?" Alice: "Ayye, this is abit embarrassing. He seems so... 'soft.'" Jerome. "Yeah... he does seem harmless... Tell you what, Elite. We are going to go over there, kill the Brute guards. Then come back. If you are still here, then we will have to kill you too. But if you are 'Smart'. You will disappear.... catch my drift?" ;) Elite: "YES. I GET IT. GOOD DAY." *Walks away quickly. Walks faster after he hears gunfire and the sounds of dying Brutes.* Elite, 30 years later. "And thats how daddy survived, not 1, not 2, but 3 demons. At once. I was the last elite standing; when High Charity fell, to the Flood. I hid in the ship's inner city. For 3 months. Until, somehow. We crash landed on the Ark. I jumped ship, after fight the flood off. And landed here. After which I joined the Banished. And met your mother. After clearing all the humans out; we settled down here. I am happy to say it.

Jerome: "Jerome 092 Reporting, "Light Recon, orders confirmed, sir!" Alice; ROAD TRIP? Jerome; "ROAD TRIP!"
I mean the covenant would win a war just because they have space ships with the capabilities of glossing planets. I would say in a ground infantry type battle I think it would be close, but I would still give the slight edge to the covenant just because of plasma weapons and personal shields. Those two pieces of tech are in reality, make every infant unit incredibly dangerous.
@@thomaswalmsley8959 Well sure Covenant will have superiority because they have space ships, vehicles and other so they can glass the entire planet... but Locust live hundred of meters underground... so i think this war would be draw because Covenant on the Surface have more superiority but Underground the Locust are in they natural environment...
@@ultraelite143 the media is somewhat inconsistent but uf the glossing capabilities are as powerful as its portrayed in some, the covenant can probably just burn off the atmosphere. Barring that the covenant can keep the locus contained under ground so the locus would probably just be resorting to insurgent type warfare because they're loose a fight above ground due to firepower. But if it was sqaud v squad of locus vs elites it'd be pretty close. But I'd give the elites a slight advantage for reasons stated above.
I love gears of war but I'd have to give it to Halo honor guards because they have better equipment and a better track record of victory on the battle field experience mixed with great equipment I think I'd be a slaughter
@@kingtreck7117 Yeah, the locust palace guards will be destroyed in a matter of minutes, because the covenant honor guards are more advanced, have energy shields and also use stealth, while palace Guards are more armored than any other locust they still won't have a chance, because they aren't as advanced as the honor guards, and even tho palace guards are more experienced locust drones, They still will be killed
“If they came to hear me beg, they would be disappointed.”
I love that line from Arby

Most content in Halo 2 was actually cut as they had a very troublesome development. Great video Abz, the Honour Guard are my favourite!
Damn I never knew it was part of cut content, thanks Jumpers 🤝
@@KingAbzTV The Halo 2 cut content is a really deep rabbit hole…
@@KingAbzTV there's so much cut content in Halo 2 you can make it's own game out of it
Energy stave sounds a bit weird since it seems to be a solid metal stave, not a plasma one like the energy sword.
Great to see Halo on the channel. I’m not familiar with the lore at all so can you do a video explaining the origins of conflict? Thanks Abz🙏
These guys not being in Halo 3 at least for the brute variant is genuinely upsetting
Bungie made a shitty mistake with that, instead brute Guard units at least for The Ark level they gave us generic Chieftains in the game
Big w that halo is getting lore Vids now
You do Gears of War AND Halo lore?
AaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! YES!
Started with Gears lore but trying to expand moving forward, happy to have you on board!
I've been waiting for elite customization options that include the og halo2 honor guard armor since I first laid eyes upon it
I miss the honor guards they looked so cool
Dude Halo now? Crush it my guy. Personally Mass Effect is my favorite, so even though I give you a like every video...well I guess I'd contine to do it but with Mass effect
Thanks my friend! I want to cover a lot of games and other mediums too!
Love the halo content ! Would love to see more !
i often wonder why multiple species weren't rolled into the honor guard

Well mostly just weren't capable, but mostly yes because the elites are the only worthy, grunts aren't worthy, and the covenant never really cares for diversity or unity, other species were below them
The role was designed specifically for the elites as part of the writ of union
I don’t really play halo but I’ll watch this just because it’s you Abz!
Bro now There’s halo bro thank you so much
Can’t wait for history of the julhani (brutes)
Jiralhanae*
I still think Ravager grenadiers would give them a run for their money!
Came for Gears, stayed for Halo.
Playin' Gears too. 😊
Thanks! Got lore videos planned for Gears, Halo and many other awesome franchises

Can you play the story mode to the gears of war games?
I don’t think many would want to watch that, not sure tho

Who would win Locust horde or the Covenant??? I think the fight will be pretty though

You gotta start posting TikTok’s so you’ve got another place to advertise you yt
Do you think it would be helpful for the channel? Not sure if people watch lore there but you’ll know more than me
@@KingAbzTV it’s free publicity and there’s deadass a dude dancing som anime dance until he gets a gf…
@@KingAbzTV just make them preferably under 40 seconds you wouldn’t believe how long the attention rate of the average tiktoker is
What if the covenant in countered the locust and was present in covenant civil war? ❤️ to see a video about this like what you did with banish.
Love the mixture of different content halo is one of my favorite games.
Thanks! Halo is amazing!
