Well first cortana got to the forunner tech then the covenant the affected by the logical plague of the flood and then Johnson who was killed by the monitor well...
I disagree with the Cortana part. She only died because she had to stop the banished from activating the rings. The rings would not harm cortana but they would’ve killed John and that’s why she stopped him.
People need to remember that the Chief is an experienced soldier that will make necessary sacrifices. He's not an optimistic shounen protagonist who solves problems using superpowers fueled by friendship.
Except when he is. "No, sir." Although I'd say refusing to hand over Cortana way back when was an exception. Partially because he saw the bigger picture, and partially because giving up the closest thing you have to a friend is a tough call even for those most bound to duty. In this case on the other hand, he had not yet built a rapport with the Weapon.
It's difficult to understand chief's character. Mainly because he does not show vulnerabilities. Staten mentioned that chief was a vessel for the player to experience the game, the characterization was not major. He was a badass an that's what is needed. I think him saving Cortana seems natural because she's the only AI he is psycholgoically dependent on but he learns his lesson soon and learns to trust nobody.
@@darkrain491 I think it was perfectly in character. He’s human too. This game has him being optimistic too. The pilot tells Chief how he ended up in space alone in the pelican. Turns out he’s a fraud. He’s not a soldier nor a pilot. He was some civilian type engineer or crew member on board the UNSC and he stole that pelican too flew for his life and didn’t even try to save anyone else by letting them onboard. It haunts him. He tells Chief that he should just leave him behind with the rest of the garbage after they lose their pelican. Chief merely kneels beside him, puts his hand on his shoulder and says “ It’s ok. We all make mistakes. We’re human. “ he and Cortana 2.0 console and reassure him that what he’s done was ok and he can still make a difference. Master Chief was a bland tasteless personality with a workaholic type mentality, but those who follow the lore outside of the games know that Dr. Catherine Halsey has been treating and thinking of the Spartans as her family/ children for a while now and has been trying to Iron that boring and soldier only mentality out of Chief for some time. Her first step towards this goal was after Reach and Halo one’s story ended. Sergeant Avery Johnson was infected by the flood on the ring when Captain Keys was taken, but those infection forms couldn’t take hold of his nervous system as they do everything else and so they just ignored him, only reason he survived. He said “ they ignored me like children ignore greens at dinner “ or something like it. Dr. Halsey examined him and learned that he is immune to Flood infection due to the injuries he sustained from his failed surgery to implement him into the Spartan program. It damaged his nervous system in a way that he could still move, yet the flood couldn’t take his corpse and turn it into a combat form, thus they lost interest in turning him. Halsey knew that if ONI learned about Johnson’s immunity they’d take him and lock him away for the rest of his life in laboratories to use as a lab rat and Guinea pig to try recreating his injury and making humanity immune to flood infection. Halsey confronted Master Chief alone in her office aboard the ship they found and offered him a choice between two data drives. One had Sergeant Johnson’s complete and full medical records and the discoveries she had made. The other was a lie saying he was normal save for his previously noted injuries but still fit for combat and duty. Based on the games, which chip do you think he chose? Instead of saving humanity he sparred Johnson and let him live his life the way he wanted too. That’s the same Chief we see in Halo 4. At the end of the campaign Captain Lasky even said “ You talk about soldiers and humanity as of they’re two different things, but they’re not. We’re all just people. “ Chief deserves to have a personality by now after all he has done he has earned that much.
After seeing how Cortana yeeted the brute homeworld into hell, nuked Sydney and had another AI go kamikaze and blow up a station with Spartans in training. I’d consider the distrust more than justified.
Indeed, at this point in the story both you (the player) and the Weapon don't know that she is Cortana, which explains much of Chief's terror when things start getting out of hand.
When master chief is earlier asked if he had anyone special, he said no, his pass code was "Samuel" Samuel 034, his best friend growing up in the spartan II program, his friend Samuel died on their first mission to the covenant after taking a hit for chief. Blue Team is his family. And he doesn't even know if any of them are still alive.
And blue team might think he is dead as well, some marines in their dialogue mentioned that they thought chief died so its likely that blue team (wherever Lasky sent them) might heard that rumor as well
@@manuelgonzalezrios1314 Blue Team wasn't with Inifinity when they went to the ring, they were sent somewhere else on a separate mission. Source is the audiologs before anyone claims different.
@@TennoDrifter thanks dude, i still don’t have all the audio logs, the only one that I have that talks about blue team is the one where lasky tells Halsey that he is going to use them on a separate mission

I actually like this. I like Chief choosing to be an uncaring distrustful dick. It makes sense he spent the events of 3,4 and 5 getting fucked over watching his friends die and being betrayed. It makes sense he would go "Fuck it if you don't trust anyone no one can betray you."
Yeah, when the sub monitor was about to attack him he blocked the laser from hitting Cortana because spark wanted to kill her in CE and in 3 and killed Johnson in 3. He was expecting the laser.
He's not even being a dick, dumbass. He's being Logical and reasonable based off of past experiences. If it looks like there's about to be another Rogue Cortana 2.0 then of course it needs to be deleted. Lmao.
I don't know if it's just me, but I hear a subtle tone change when chief says Samuel's name. Love the inclusion of his best friend. He almost sounds a bit sad/defeated-one part probably for thinking of Sam, two for feeling like he's failing for having to go through with the weapon's deletion.
I know, right? She was the one who wanted to be deleted in the first place, and now, she doesn’t want to be deleted, I just don’t understand. Good point, I was thinking the same exact thing.
@@neenthecool9177 I wonder why the artificial recreation of a living creatures brain would have second thoughts about dying after experiencing being alive.
The fact that the final clearance is 034 Samuel makes this sting all the more. The attempted deletion not withstanding, it shows how heavy that still weighs on John even all these years later and how close the II's were.
It’s cool that Halsey designed a fail safe for John to use incase she turns rogue like Cortana, I guess she also realizes how dangerous herself is, even if she’s just a fragment of Her own Brain
@@flanagamer with the end of the 30 year war with covenant pretty sure humanity still has a large supply of dummy AIs, since they focused on Spartan and UNSC warship tech related R&D throughout the war, they never improved AI lifespan
@@sirsneakybeaky in the lore as well Halsey thought that Cortana might never go through rampacy, i wonder if the time with the gravemind and the time she sat waiting for Chief to wake up took a toll
I know why Master Chief behaves the way he does but she really deserves a chance to prove herself. She is positive and doing her best to help. Heartbreaking really, to see her punished for the mistakes of another.
Don’t think I can blame him though, I think if I was put in the same situation, I’d do the same out of fear of having another rampant cortana situation
Ugh when he uttered 'Samuel' I sobbed hysterically. That wound is just a fresh in Chief's mind as it is in mine. You never forget the losses sustained under your command. ESPECIALLY not the first. "Sam proved we could win this war. Every battle won is built on the foundation of that sacrifice. If we survive this, it's because Sam showed us the way."
Mans really making him seem like he's betraying her. Yet cortana was turning A.I on to herside extremely fast. HE didn't want her to become corrupt and was ready to help save her from herself when he couldn't for the original cortana. Which I feel like the story they went with sucks mainly because they're saying she just changed. For no apparent reason and not because of the logic plague when it was very heavily influenced in halo 2 and 3.
I don't know why ppl are surprised that chief nearly killed the weapon Hell he was gonna send Sgt Johnson to a fate worse then death once he found out why Johnson was the only soul survivor of the flood attack on the very first ring humanity ever found. It's just who the master chief is. He puts duty before anything else.
@Pain's Clips Yeah but at first he was gonna serve him up to Oni on a silver platter before having a change of heart and that was way later after johnson proved more valuable alive then dead and dissected. Hell the chief practically considered him a Spartan by that time. The way he went about dealing with the weapon falls in line with how he prioritizes what's more important to the mission. Like the weapon said about him," Chief is a man of action not words."
@Pain's Clips In retrospect, I would have sent armies to try and recover any fragment of Johnson's body. A chance to study something immune from the flood. I mean damn.
@@shadowbandit3975 the whole thing was a lie though, to cover up the fact that he was once a Spartan-1 from the Orion program. It's the enhancements he received that made him immune, not a "Boren syndrome" (iirc)
@@NKWittmann Partially true, he wasn’t inmune, nothing is, he was just strong enough because of his augmentations to survive like Chief. Although it does beg the question of how he managed to avoid being infected by spores in the air…
They're both the right words, he was betraying the trust she had placed in him, and he was killing her with deletion. Neither of those words inherently mean the thing done was wrong, they're just things he did do.
@Mockingbird I get what you are trying to say, but no. Saying this is betrayal is like saying you betray a nuclear bomb, by rendering it unusable for the enemy. The only difference here is, that a hacked Weapon could be even more destructive. And while this is more a philosophical question, I would argue that you just can't kill something that never was alive to begin with.
@@Myuutsuu85 The difference is a nuclear bomb isn't a sentient creature, Weapon is. Cortana and Weapon were both smart AI created from Halsey and she's confirmed both are sentient as any human because they're, in effect, human minds in computers. That's also why rampancy happens in smart AI, the computer acts as essentially their brain and as they create new memories, feel new emotions etc. The limited space a computer has requires them to effectively delete parts of their own brain, be it memories or otherwise, in order to store new data. Eventually they delete the wrong part and start to suffer psychological damage from essentially breaking apart their own mind.
People giving Chief shit but he did nothing wrong, he was the one that decided against deletion that was part of the Weapon's programming in the first place and Chief followed protocol as the AI should of done. If it was the other way around and Chief was forced to self sacrifice in order to prevent him from being captured or used by the enemy, he would do it in a second, just like all the Spartans on Reach did, including Noble 6 when he manned the MAC gun so that the Pillar of Autumn could escape.
What really brought me back to the past of Master Chief's story was when he said "Samuel." I followed Chief throughout the books as well as the console. A special piece of me awoke to the fact that this homage was paid.
I like how yall are trying to defend chief when he litterly did everything in his power to prevent killing cortana and saving her, yes I know he had a built relationship with her over time and game but God damn that was ruthless
Chief is a soldier and it serves his character well to remind us of what he's willing to do to accomplish his mission. He had to sacrifice friends in the past as a commander and even considers himself expendable. At the end of the day he saw real people give up their own life for their mission, and Weapon is still hardware. It shows the ugly side of a warrior I agree. Chief doesn't sacrifice lives unnecessarily but he's ready to do it.
He doesn't want to get rid of her. He's just paranoid she'll get corrupted and turn evil like Cortana. A lot of AIs went rouge during the war with the Created. So he's just playing it safe.
Chief: why you not naked like cortana? Weapon: why would i want to be naked? Chief: red flag.. 034.. Weapon: hold up there.. Wait.. No!!! Chief: .... Ok
To me the game is kind of a trilogy of every halo game because the banished are from halo wars 2 there dialogue from halo 1 halo 2 halo 3 halo 4 and halo 5 they talk about the events from every other game
@@U-Z-II When chief says "0-3-4" and "Samuel" those are his passcodes. Samuel-034 was John's (Masterchief's) best friend. He was also the first Spartan II to die in the Human-Covenant War. He sacrificed himself for John and Kelly, another Spartan II, could live.
Chief's tone when he said "Samuel" perfectly captures how he feels about Sam. Doesn't need to show his face, doesn't even need to show his helmet. Perfect
Not many people relaize that the RED FLAG and the name "Samuel" and the code 034 represents spartan 034 the member of BLUE TEAM who died after they got their MEJOHNIR ARMOR MK1. He was the closest to Master Cheif.
It wasn't. He can't afford again to lose an AI that he grew close to. Cortana broke down, and Chief couldn't afford to lose her. So he went against all protocol to save her. Only for her to be obsessive.
Weapon was banged by the Harbinger.. Chief could not stand there and watch it.. He said she's a red flag... He tries to delete her from his life... Sad :(((
"All I see is a problem."
I love that the Master Chief has ZERO trust in Forerunner Tech. And after six games of this crap, who can blame him?
Guilty Spark alone is enough to make the guy jumpy around Forerunner shennanigans.
Exactly!..
I mean last time he trusted a random forerunner lightbulb, one of his closest friends died
I can.
Well first cortana got to the forunner tech then the covenant the affected by the logical plague of the flood and then Johnson who was killed by the monitor well...
I find it so funny, that to terminate what's essentially Chief's new AI waifu, the passcode is "Red flag"
Dating an AI was a Red Flag to begin with lmao
Wrong red flag 🥲
Its a reference to the novel Fall of Reach, Operation: Red Flag.
@@yorhano.2typeb141 where his best friend Samuel died and was the first Spartan 2 died :( very sad moment

Luckily cortana 2 isn't exactly like cortana and she isn't about that sacrifice
Chief: _"The feeling's mutual."_
But Cortana wouldn't actually sacrifice Master Chief.

Harbinger, eh?
I know only one Harbinger, that tried took over Milky Way and failed....
“ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL”
@@Umbra_Lux i'm Commander Shepard and i'll stop you.
I should go
One of the best villains you'll fight, tooth and nail, against.
What really brought me back to the past of Master Chief's story was when he said "Samuel." I followed Chief throughout the books as well as the console. A special piece of me awoke to the fact that this homage was paid.
This is AKS-119, reporting , we are here for the tribute to 034 Samuel in this Video
I like how yall are trying to defend chief when he litterly did everything in his power to prevent killing cortana and saving her, yes I know he had a built relationship with her over time and game but God damn that was ruthless
Chief is a soldier and it serves his character well to remind us of what he's willing to do to accomplish his mission. He had to sacrifice friends in the past as a commander and even considers himself expendable. At the end of the day he saw real people give up their own life for their mission, and Weapon is still hardware. It shows the ugly side of a warrior I agree. Chief doesn't sacrifice lives unnecessarily but he's ready to do it.
Duty comes before emotion.
You guys notice how master chief becomes soft on The Weapon, while this dude be ignoring most of his comrades request 😂
Yeah he only simp for AI
I can't imagine how much grief master chief feels towards Cortana's actions
Dang, man... What a bro. 034 and Samuel. Samuel-034 😭
The little stepdown she does to the console is so adorable
Weapon: I guess someone is watching me.
Chief: What's that camera over there?
I lowkey felt bad for her when I played this man 😂😭
7:24 chief got destroyed
Man,i felt that a lot.
she looks like star lords daughter from the new GOTG game
7:24 when I first watched her say that part, “I wasn’t talking to you” I was like yooo, no she didn’t 🤣🤣
Someone explain to me, why does Chief wants to get rid of Cortana 2.0?
He doesn't want to get rid of her. He's just paranoid she'll get corrupted and turn evil like Cortana. A lot of AIs went rouge during the war with the Created. So he's just playing it safe.
Halo 4 and Halo 5 will explain it, But he just being sure that she's just gonna be like Cortana from the past
Protocol if something goes wrong. No hard feeling. Just following procedure.
Cause Cotrans was way better and this girl sucks. Also have you seen how she dresses?? No thank you
@@ibrahimhafizhuddin1756 because the new ones annoying as f
The parts right after are so awkward lol
I know, I like how she stays mad at him and gives him sarcasm.
@@TzuSReject the snapping oh the snapping 😂
It hits harder when you remember Cortana saying they will pair you with another copy, and here is weapon an exact copy
"I wasn't talking to you" Looks around...
*Discovers a new unknown device connected to her wifi*
"iT FeLt LiKe SoMeOnE wAs WaTcHiNg Me"
Chief: why you not naked like cortana?
Weapon: why would i want to be naked?
Chief: red flag.. 034..
Weapon: hold up there.. Wait.. No!!!
Chief: .... Ok
😳🥴😂
To me the game is kind of a trilogy of every halo game because the banished are from halo wars 2 there dialogue from halo 1 halo 2 halo 3 halo 4 and halo 5 they talk about the events from every other game
Chief betrays weapon and doesn't give her a chance.
Also chief 'i want to trust weapons' .
This New Cortana looks innocent and cute
Master Chief when he realizing she's wearing clothes 😂
Stupidly funny
034-SAMUEL ??
Who is
Yes
@@U-Z-II When chief says "0-3-4" and "Samuel" those are his passcodes. Samuel-034 was John's (Masterchief's) best friend. He was also the first Spartan II to die in the Human-Covenant War. He sacrificed himself for John and Kelly, another Spartan II, could live.
@@SAIDER206 Yup. A tribute to the works halo fans invested many hours of reading in. Almost made me choke up
@@Black-mq3xn atriox arc is narrated very bad also, first Time i couldnt understand a shit if hè was dead or not like wtf
Even tho this was a necessary sacrifice chief had to make he still pissed me off like he just immediately began the process of deleting The weapon
But of a gut punch with Samuel being Chief's passcode ...
You know after the whole Cortana thing, I don’t think Chief is in the wrong to have precautions against her.
Chief's tone when he said "Samuel" perfectly captures how he feels about Sam. Doesn't need to show his face, doesn't even need to show his helmet. Perfect
What's the point in creating a fail-safe against an AI if the AI it's used against can override it?
Weapon's face looks so unnatural. Reminds me of Mass Effect Andromeda
Every time she puts on a toothy grin it sends a shiver down my spine ((😬))
I think it looks with the face expressions and everything
after what happened to the other cortona i can see why he dont trust this AI that looks just like her
Well she is an exact copy of cortana
Literally cortana but brand new
His real Ai already dead? What did you expected for MC to trust new Ai + enemy tech Forerunner and Spartan mission to protect humanity....
She's saved on a USB stick. Just crush the stick. Right?
After Cortona, you can't blame him.
"You were going to delete me"
Yeah last time I DIDN'T do that, it resulted in literally all of this
More like the ai betrays chief by overriding her own deletion
The man was just sad his last friend tried to kill him
I knew it, Master Chief is part of Blue Team!
Kinda cool his password was a fellow spartan.
Once you were with a fallen woman, you never go back...
I like the fact that chief password is Samuels number 034
GAMECLIPS SALUDOS CORDIALES DESDE GUAYAQUIL ECUADOR 🇪🇨🙋♂️
“I wasn’t talking to you” 😂
At 1:52 I hade a gravity hammer when I played through and Chief looked so silly
She’s cute and I like her mouth/lips when she’s annoyed
Not many people relaize that the RED FLAG and the name "Samuel" and the code 034 represents spartan 034 the member of BLUE TEAM who died after they got their MEJOHNIR ARMOR MK1. He was the closest to Master Cheif.
Just ignored the glitch in her leg at 2:06
Looking back on this I really like how the override code is Chief’s long decease friend/teammate, Samuel-034.
Man I knew chief was cold but I didn't think he was that cold
4:29 she got him
07:24 and 07:45 She really up set with Chief.
She's cute, adorable but also sassy and quite the meanie
This new cortana is more like the cortana in the books like from fall of reach. Because She's smart but her maturity was still in the younger stages
When she said that machine line I said “ouch ouch ouch”
7:23
This is the moment you know she's not happy
Can i just mention this:
Red Flag - clever
0 3 4 - 😏
Samuel - A really great callback
Cool man just started the game yesterday..
Ikr…
@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba so I can't even scroll on UA-cam unbelievable
@@bestnottoknow yea I was slightly annoyed as well
Glad to see 343 mentioned Operation Red Flag.
ONI still hammered into others like him, eh? still to this time....
Cole protocol-like, etc etc etc.
That's a low move Cheif
It wasn't. He can't afford again to lose an AI that he grew close to. Cortana broke down, and Chief couldn't afford to lose her.
So he went against all protocol to save her. Only for her to be obsessive.
Hmm I don't think so, don't let your emotions blind you of master chiefs reason why he tried to delete her. :]
BUEN VIDEO DE HALO INFINITI MASTER 🇪🇨😀👍
Weapon was banged by the Harbinger.. Chief could not stand there and watch it.. He said she's a red flag... He tries to delete her from his life...
Sad :(((
At first I was like oh no they finna mess up the date😆😆
For an AI she sure breathes alot
"Red Flag" "034" "Samuel"
I’m sure she’s going to hold a grudge but hopefully not
It would be funny if he just left her there 🤣
They have to decide who is machine here
