And how did forge survive being held up by his head? Shouldn’t his neck have snapped? I also ask why the Covenant sent such a small force to stop them from destroying game changing weapons
Yeah. The same hand that forge shot multiple times to disarm the arbiter, might've been his saving grace from actually getting killed by its full potential
Forge's father was a Spartan 1/ORION. So he could have inherited some features of the augmentations. Sgt. Johnson was a Spartan 1/ORION too (the original super soldier)
Forge: Lieutenant, take care of those Elites! He's mine! Jerome: (WTF dude. I outrank you) EDIT: Yes I know that Forge would technically be a higher rank if he hadn't been court-martialed. That and the reason Jerome addresses Forge as his superior is simply because Forge has excellent leadership qualities and not because of the chain of command.
The idea of the arbiter calling Forge undisciplined is crazy. Mans is out here trying hand to hand combat with him and got a few good licks in despite being way weaker.
Jerome, leader of red team. From what we see of him in Halo Wars 2 in one cutscene, he's not far from chief's level, and that's with him in MKIV, which is extremely outdated compared to MKVI.
If u look closely right as the marine walks over to the machine past the reactor, u can actually see the arbiter standing there cloaked even before the close up. He’s standing in front of the wheels
Anyone ever notice how bullets seem to do significantly more damage from the same guns when the Spartans are using them? Aim definitely plays a factor but there’s a limit lmao, it’s like the difference between airsoft and real guns. I’m almost 100% certain anyone that isn’t a spartan or crucial to the story they are currently telling deals 300% less damage per shot
@@KalashVodka175 A solid rationale, and it works for me in this case, but someone explain to me why a marine can’t blow an elite off his feet with a shotgun from time to time like a spartan
Aside, of course, from their signature mjollnir armor. Or in the case of spartan 3s I remember most had.. what, Semi-powered infiltration armor or something, it was called?
2:16 Seeing that spartan just dump that arbiter's body off the edge reminds me of when I had that same habit during my Halo 2 playthroughs. The Sputnik skull allowed me to put all the dead heretics' corpses on the conveyers.
Yes, with grit, sacrifice, and pure determination, base humans can rival and even defeat the covenant. Sure, they’d have 100% lost the war without the Spartans, but by no means would they have gone down without a fight.
@@5stargrim The Covenant had ancient Forerunner tech since the BC times, so they had a massive advantages. But even then, on the ground, the humans weren't doing too bad themselves. Their tanks and artillery matched the Covenant's, as their greatest strength is their ingenuity and creativity. Physical might alone would not have gotten them to the level of the Ancient Forerunners. Humans are quite an OP race. In pretty much every era, the odds are stacked against them, and they still hold on. Ancient Humans lost to the Flood and Forerunners, modern humans getting crushed by the Covenant. All the other races would have folded in that situation. Edit: Not saying this to dispute anything you said, just wanted to add my 2 cents.
@@5stargrimeven with the Spartans they barely won It was the covenants civil war and the introduction of the flood that really tore them apart otherwise the unsc would have without a doubt lost easily
I remember seeing this as a kid after playing Halo 2, not realising yet that the Arbiter was a title, not a singular character, so I was just sitting there like “wow, they just made the Arbiter evil and some guy kills him, so disrespectful.”
To Spartans, loyalty and leadership ability are everything, and Forge is overflowing with those qualities. Plus when a regular human kills the Arbiter in single combat snd volunteers to die instead of you, you better be calling them sir or ma’am
I feel like the 3 Spartans vs. the other elites was an underrated part of this cutscene, Forge killing Ripa 'Moramee (The Arbiter) still takes the cake though.
Two things. 1. I’m pretty sure that Forge is canonically the only human to get in a brawl with a spartan and walk away. 2. The fact that both Jerome and Forge were so casual about dieing. Both are absolute goats
@@MrAlexplayer just because something is rendered then uploaded in 60fps doesn't mean it will be native 60fps; if the content was not first recorded in 60fps (which is isn't because Halo Wars does not play in 60fps) then it simply will not be 60fps regardless of how you render the video.. I once had footage from my PS4 of a game that I rendered and uploaded in 4K The video stats said 4K 60fps, but you could tell from the video itself that the content although very sharp was not first recorded/created in 4K.
Yk this makes absolutely no sense one an arbiter is a top tier elite no unaugmented human should be able to tackle a regular elite let alone one of the best
Halo wars always had this cheesyness to it. Made me enjoy the grittness of the mainline halo games more. Seargent forge taking out the arbiter was something i never agreed with. Man would have been slaughtered instantly in their first encounter if not for anders, but somehow manages to tackle Ripa, an 8'1 monstrosity thats 200lbs more than him and then pulls one over on him. Would have been much more sensible for jerome to fight him and take him out.
These "Elites" are a complete joke. 3 Honor Guards would slaughter 3 Spartan IIs. We've seen other units of the best Elites make ELITE Spartan Headhunters look like children. Literally dodging bullets at point blank range. So Honor Guards would've cut Red Teams heads off and takem their armor for study and as trophies. Meanwhile Sgt Forge is mince meat from an 9+ foot tall Elite this isnt even a contest 😂
@@somehoodedguy Where did you see Spec ops Elites? Even Spec ops Elites would've given Red Team a serious fight the UNSC was terrified of spec ops Covenant for their efficiency. They're supposed to be Honor Guards they're literally guarding one of the Hierarchs so actually these Elites should be Lights of Sanghelios or Honor Guard Ultras which makes Red Team's survival even more ridiculous. Forge would've bounced off Ripa like a little pebble if he tried tackling him, and then his abdomen should've popped like a water balloon from Ripas punch. Idc if this is just 1 of *billions who've been slaughtered. Halo Wars was made by people who don't know anything about Halo
@@somehoodedguy I see you manipulated your comment to exclude your talk of how Ripa dying doesn't matter cuz he's just one elite compared to millions of Marines dying. Which ignores so much lore. And modifying your comment attempts to discredit my own as if I'm talking random nonsense

The visual of a dude just tackling an arbiter like it’s nothing is hilarious to me idk why
You feel the actual weight of differences when jon gets punched.
Why did the knife pass the shield but the bullets couldn't
@@elsunshine9976 The arbiter didn’t have shields, the bullets did hit him
@@elsunshine9976looks like he was wearing some kind of metal chest armour but his neck was unguarded (much like body armour for us today)
Him taking on the big arbiter just makes forge that much more of a bad as#.
That gut punch really looked brutal
Yeah that's pure plot armor. That would have broken every rib he had and turned his guts into mush
It was. However, it was also clear that Ripa could punch even harder than that if he tried. Even this punch was enough to cause serious injuries.
@@wll1500
Forge's armor would have protected him from the worst, but given the blood in his mouth after it definitely did something internal.

The ONLY thing I don’t like about this scene is that Jerome outranks Forge but still calls him Sir.
On top of that Forge is still a Sergeant or NCO. You don't refer to NCOs as "sir."

This is peak Halo story telling!

He killed a fuckin arbiter and went “well my life’s probably not gonna get better than that”
Forge really is the ideal soldier, I'd have ordered a spartan to hold over losing Forge.
Sounds like a great way to get court-martialed
The members of red team are like 17 at this point. Let that sink in
Bro is so lucky that even a disgraced person like the arbiter still had some honor or pride left in him to look him in the eye.
