This show started off as a badly cropped machinima with poor audio and video quality. Over a decade later, and it's become one of the most iconic web-series of all time. One of the greatest success stories ever imo.
Hey, is it possible for a memory fragment out of an Artificial Intelligence program enclosed inside of a robotic body to piss its pants? Because I'm pretty sure I just did that.
@@kristophersy773Yeah I actually agree lol, before she was trying to sink them into the water, but once she was shot and immobilized she didn't pose a threat. Maine just wanted an AI to run his equipment
@@thehalohomies there were four puncture wounds in his suit which caused it to flood and drown. This is explained in season 13. Don’t ask where the holes came from
I think it’s the vocals in the beginning that sell it for me. That gets that feeling of desperation and life-threatening fear. Like death is staring you in the face and one wrong move means a fade to black. Then the rock kicks in as the intensity ramps up. You have no time to think, you have no time to process that you’re terrified. Hesitation is death.
just to clarify: technically the meta died at the end of season six, as all the AIs were destroyed in the emp. maine lived until the end of revelation, when he died by falling off the cliff. however it seems that his armour was recovered, as seen at the end of season twelve.
"Agent Maine, isn't that the one from the freeway? The one that shot you in the throat?" Uh, yeah, Sigma, you'd be talking to a ghost, that only speaks in monstrous growls. He should have died right then and there, but nope. Proj. Freelancer dun it again.
@@phoenixamber6497 He only began degenerating mentally when Sigma learned about " perfection " and developed his own mission. To become an AI indistinguishable from a human. The perfect being in his eyes. It was never about being a strong soldier. Maine was just a perfect vessel for hunting down the other AI and forcing them to merge since in the end, they're all fragmented personalities of one man.
Halo Logic: Falling from space: A little sore. Getting shot at by millions of aliens bent on mankinds annihilation: Meh Walking in a puddle: OH GOD SOMEONE HELP ME, I'M GONNA DROW- *Dies*
People complain at the theories that Maine survived that fall, but I think you should remember that in the span of around 20 minutes: He got shot in the throat around 7 times. He got sniped in the chest. He fell onto the highway and got hit by a pretty big truck. He was launched OFF of the highway by previously mentioned big truck. That was just 1 episode, other things he survived include: Wash throwing a knife into his chest. Tex stabbing into his back with a similar knife. Being stabbed in the chest by Tucker Extreme physical and mental stress from all of those AI Church somehow shooting him in the leg Generally getting his ass kicked by Tex a few times. Being paralysed by Doc (Which is still funny to me) So what makes you think he definately didn't survive this fall? He managed not to die after Carolina kicked him out of that skyscraper. Then again, in the RvB12 after credits there was a show of JUST his armour, he's probably dead in the cold without that. And hell, we already have new villains anyway.
+RockySalad Yea but see he had the healing factor in the heist epipsodes as for surving the fall out of window you see him jump onto a ledge and start causing pure hell. The healing ability of his suit was running the moment he took the sniper shot to the chest but here too much happened too quickly for the healer to save him so he drowns like a boss
I like to think that some part of Maine was happy to die. So he couldn't be manipulated and tortured into hurting his old allies/friends/companions. Or allindompanions.
Has anyone thought about how Tex kicked Maine, Wyoming, and York's asses, but once Maine and Wash team up, she gets wrecked? Is it the added abilities on the Meta or is it just that Wash is badass?
Owen Brennan Wash got the lucky shot on her while she tried to run. Up until that point, she was kicking their asses thoroughly. To be fair though, meta had none of his AI for this fight, and neither did Wash. Still, if Wash hadn't shot her, Tex would have defeated them both handily.
Agreed. Wash may be improbably good with his BR and a pragmatic fighter, and the Meta may be the Meta, but they still probably wouldn't have won if Tex's nature didn't cause her to make mistakes.
Turns out Maine drowned... Found it funny that no-one accounted for the numerous holes in his armor from being shot and stabbed so much in this episode alone.
+GameGuy Yup. THey even said that the only reason he didn't die when Tucker impaled him was because the Overshield was keeping him going, likely by stopping him from bleeding too much. He couldn't run the Overshield without an AI, and Sarge pulled the Epsilon Unit off his back. No Overshield, nothing plugging the holes in his armour, and he just got dragged to the bottom of the sea by a truck.
I think it's kind of cruel for the Freelancers to not call Maine by his agent callsign. It makes sense for them to call him that when he was possessed by the AI's since Meta was the name Sigma chose. After he lost those AI, I would think that his former friends wouldn't continue to attach that name to him. He didn't exactly choose to become the Meta.
Carolina in season 13 explains that she refused to associate Maine and the Meta as the same person because they really aren't. The other Freelancers are implied to have had a similar approach, as calling someone who indiscriminately kills like an animal the same person who once was willing to take a sniper round to the chest protect his friends the same name would have been an insult to the man who was once Maine. Even the Counselor didn't consider them to be the same person. It would be much crueler to have called the Meta by his old name, as they all understood that Maine was turned into the Meta without his choice so they consider the Meta as a monster who effectively stole Maine's body (which, in hindsight, that's exactly what the Meta was).
Tex was more skilled and had home field advantage. Maine could just survive the things that Tex threw at him and was physically tougher and stronger. Once Tex had become exhausted from damage Maine just finished her off.
It's kinda like how Donut's armor changed him. You hang out with those idiots long enough and you'll destroy your intelligence just to keep you sanity. He became a badass again when Carolina was around.
The helmet would still have to be air-tight and pressurized, which makes is suitable for underwater operations as well. hence why space suits are tested with use underwater.

Dear everyone saying Pray is the song where CT dies, It is not, that is her fight scene where she gets injured, not when she removes her helmet and takes her last breath
Think about this. His overshield was keeping him from bleeding out, however he's been stabbed, shot at by a shotgun point blank like 3 times and basically had holes in his armor. So basically the Maine drowned due to the holes in his armor when his shields were depleted
Anyone know the name of the version that is just the guitar, like at 0:12 that is used AFTER the Tex vs Wash and Meta fight? The version used when its Reds and Blues vs Meta. There's like 3 different versions of this song (Ice Fight, Boss theme, and Revelation) but none of them have that guitar part. :|
More specifically an ocean where a damaged armor suit covered in holes can't save you from drowning in when you're stuck to a large vehicle and probably weigh a combined (with the armor) 300 pounds.
To be honest, if they -did- bring The Meta back, it'd kind of be over-sponging his appearances as a 'recurring villain' that would almost be used to defeat at the hands of the main characters. I'm sure they'll come out with a new villain, just as (if not, more) awesome! =D
How do we know he didn't survive? Dead people have turned out not being dead, Church, Donut, Captain Flowers (He is dead though), Donut again, Church came back as Epsilon. Meta could return.
Maine is the strongest Freelancer, it's her A.I Sigma the dark fragment of the director (I think) He's don't fight them, He's kill all of them. He a monster. XD
Tex would be more powerful if she was her former Beta self, but she is just a revived memory is Season 8, not to mention she doesn't have the Omega fragment.
i would just like to point out Maine he had all the free lancer powers yet he couldnt beat a team OF BLOODY IDIOTS if he cant no one can not even a full army
Maine's death is pretty brutal and sad when you remember he had a fear of heights.
Well. All I gotta say is," Karma's a bitch"
Oh god, I never thought about that. Oof.
@@zombieeater9860 How is karma a bitch? Maine was consumed by the Meta. It wasn't his fault his AI brainwashed him.

This was epsilon-Tex so she could be far weaker than alpha-Tex
Wash cheated. She was clearly wrecking them, especially the Meta. I just saw the fight today!

Water: The only thing that can kill Maine.

Too bad it doesn’t contain the small version of ice fight that plays when the reds and blues are fighting the Meta
Because the other version has lyrics and this is the version right from the episode, which does not have lyrics.

Tex is tough but Maine is better
Maine is the strongest Freelancer, it's her A.I Sigma the dark fragment of the director (I think)
He's don't fight them, He's kill all of them. He a monster. XD
Only because the fact that Tex is based on death so that she always fails. If she wasn't based on death, then she'd be the ultimate badass...
Yeah that true i understand that because maine stole all the a.i but i cant belive maine lost against the red and blue really
Tex would be more powerful if she was her former Beta self, but she is just a revived memory is Season 8, not to mention she doesn't have the Omega fragment.
Yeah that's true

The armor is heavy though. I dont see why not.

Well, to be fair, said idiots were very unpredictable, and they still had Agent Washington on their side.
