You may already know this, but as a propaganda tactic, Spartans were never classified KIA, only ever MIA, to reinforce the perception that they were immortal and impossible to defeat, even though the vast majority of Spartans, of all generations, were designated to missions that were practically certain to result in their deaths, and by-and-large led to them. Most, nearly all, Spartans ever deployed are dead. Johnson was the only combat active member of project Orion (Spartan-I) that made it through the human-covenant war (to die by the hands of Guilty Spark). Only Blue Team, chief's outfit of Spartan-II's, and Red Team (those that weren't pulverized by Atriox), who spent a large portion of the latter half of the H-C war (everything after the Spirit of Fire escaped the fall of Reach) adrift and in cryo-sleep, are still alive. Out of the few-hundred-ish spartan-III's that were created, many of whom were sent to Reach during the outbreak of contact war with the covenant, only one is known to have survived (iirc), Spartan Jun of noble team. And the Spartan-IV's, both the ones on Infinity and the ones in training in classified space, are all dead or presumed to be because of Cortana. TLDR: Spartans never die, but they sure do stop breathing during their missions a WHOLE LOT.
The quote before - “when one human world after another fell, when my Spartans were all that stood between humanity and extinction” - gives me goosebumps each time. really driving home that they were humanity’s last hope.
If anything, the Spartan IIs and IIIs were by far the most human out of 4 generations. The II's may have been chosen by Doctor Halsey, but it was through theirs and the III's actions that stalled the relentless path of the Covenant. They looked after their own, rescued countless soldiers and civilians alike, all without asking for a single hint of kindness in return while facing down certain death. Spartan IV's have been known to be cocky, egotistical, and often times become blinded by the heat of the moment to fully rationalize their actions. Even Johnson, a Project Orion soldier (AKA the original Spartan I project) became one of the very symbols of the game because of his ability to make the best of a situation and trust in his soldiers to do their job.
Eazy 117 Agreed. The IIIs were indeed a tragic tale. ONI definitely threw Halsey under the bus with the IIs with the kidnapping of children, but they were the ones who took orphans of glassed planets and directed their resentment of the Covenant into becoming a mass produced generation of Spartans with a fatality so high, it would be easier to count how many actually survived long enough to be integrated into the IVs
It makes sense if you think about it. Children, from a young age, can be taught to control their arrogance and stupid impulses in the name of the duty. A fully grown adult is expected to simply receive power and know what to do with it.
Not exactly. Halsey herself mentioned that while she sees herself as a sort of mother figure to her Spartans, the only ones they see as family are each other.
Zachary Gilmore depends on the spartan. You can basically divide the spartan IIs in two categories: 1) sees Halsey as a mother figure 2) wants to see Halsey dead
The old suits looked terrible, and that would have created a fair chunk more work just to create a better model for them, instead of using the models they already had.

feels bro, one of my first memories was playing halo 2 and CE when i was 3 years old. the originals are timeless masterpieces, idk how i feel about this new stuff, IMO reach was the last good/real halo.
Halsey makes a good point. She may have created them to crush Insurrectionists, but in the end they saved humanity. In that she can justify her actions, however inhumane they were. This person seems to want her to confess to the inhumane things she did. That leads me to believe that this is a person looking to prosecute her for what she did. I hope Halo 6 will shed some light on this.
It had nothing to do with wanting to prosecute her, she's absolutely correct in that. It had everything to do with them wanting to replace John, and wanted to know what she thought made him so successful.
@@Shiketaum You realize that other than the specifics, the overall project was at the orders of ONI? I mean, blame her if you really... really want to, I guess, but recognize that regardless of her involvement, ONI was willing to do whatever it took to crush the separatists, and later the Covenant. Yes, what she did wasn't pretty, nor particularly ethical, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.
I love how you see how she did care for them. She may not show it openly but they where like children to her. She did what had to be done in her eyes to save humanity. I think my favorite part is when she says “ don’t underestimate them. But most importantly don’t underestimate him.”
"Your mistake is seeing Spartans as military hardware" If you've played Halo Infinite already, you know how much this line really means something when it comes to Master Chief.
Yep but she wasn't the only one John and the elites did too it's kind of funny when you think about it truth caused his own downfall by replacing the elites with brutes had he not done that the great schism would have never occured and the covenant would have most likely won his ego and overconfidence lost him the war lol.
Interesting things to note- 1- Spartans 'never die" due to propaganda, to avoid a moral drop, any spartan killed in action or otherwise is listed as M.I.A. John just happened to be just so- but everyone believed him to he. 2- Spartans were indeed intended to crush human rebellions, not the covenant. They were taken at 6 years old and "reforged" through horrible processes on Reach. It just so happened that it was just in time for said war to come. 3- Due to the growing distane regular soldiers had twards Spartans, they often were woefully under credited for their deeds. Akin more to a group effort than it acually was. If they gave a metal to a spartan every time they earned one, they could forge a whole new suit out of them. And 4- Sargent Johnson was a Spartan 1, or at least a prototype. Obviously there wasn't quite the same process or development of armor at the type as with the spartan 2's. They also learned that adults were suboptimal for the process. And since the whole thing wasn't really a booming success, it was buried under red tape. But makes things a little easier to understand how he got off the ring
You can't judge Halsey in strictly black and white terms. She's a shades of grey character. I don't feel she shows enough repentance, or acceptance for the horrific act that is kidnapping children to indoctrinate them into pure killing machines, and she adopts a very post-hoc 'ends justify the means' conclusion. In a sense she was 'fortunate' that the Covenant War erupted as it gives a nice veneer to the Spartan-II programme; in an alternate timeline, where the Covenant either didn't exist or didn't find humanity or otherwise didn't go to war with Humanity, the Spartan-IIs likely would have continued in their original intended purpose of being the scalpel of a totalitarian UNSC regime, crushing freedom and self-determination of other human populations. Nevertheless, she's quite right in her claim that her work did litterally save the human race (which, if it even needs to be said, is a moral good). So I have to admit, the ends DO justify her means - but it doesn't justify her philosophy, her attitude, or HER.
Tbf the Insurrectionists were no saints either. Considering how much of a detriment to the race's development it would have been for us to devolve in a squabbling clutch of warring tribes ruled by warlords the UNSC had to be a bit iron fisted at times. The Gen II's were a result of someone not distracted by hand-wringing to get the job done.
@@ethrsag735The insurrectionists had every right to want to succeed from the UEG. The core worlds treated them poorly, and they wanted to go, the UNSC started the mess, and the insurrectionists did their job and responded.
I keep coming here after watching episodes of the Halo TV series...this Halsey and the one in the show have such differences. This Halsey truly shows how much faith she has in John, no matter the odds, she knows he will win, while in the show she thinks John needs help and protection, as well as questions his choices and actions. Halsey is also a lot more commanding in presence and shows self-assurance here compared to the show, tho I think that may be due to a matter of age perhaps, but the way even young Halsey is written in halo lore, she has always been quite sure of her actions. Especially when it comes to her spartans.
I like the canon Halsey, because she may have done terrible things, but she has regrets and cares for the Spartans. Silver Halsey is like, let’s erase John and replace him with Cortana.
This is definitely happening after Halo 4 and beginning of Halo 5. Chief went rogue, after some huge fight the chief is presumed dead. Though she knows he is alive because he escaped and she got captured out at the outer colonies. A huge civil war erupts and the senator wants answers.
Blast from the future, no, it's happening at the beginning of 4, cheif is believed dead after the Forward Unto Dawn split in half after the events of Halo.
its Jun A266, he wants to know more about the older program, so he can make adjustments to his Spartan IV prgram.He's using a voice disguise other than that he is bald head and all the signs are there. Hint: Halsey -'You want to replace him'
@V-Rex Mega bullshit. The voice is completely different, even taking away from the fact that Jun has a Russian accent. The voice is way too deep, the accent is perfect American, and that is completely different from the way Jun talks. Not to mention, Jun had a tattoo of a hand holding arrows, it doesn't look like the interrogator has that tattoo
Lasky was a key part in the Spartan IV program (Jun was too). It's Lasky interrogating her. The IVs are all decorated, experienced marines and ODST, meaning they don't have the same emotional suppressants as the IIs or IIIs, which is why he's talking about them lacking basic humanity.
@@SailorPupitar You are all wrong lmao. It's someone that Musa Ghanem, aka Musa-096 sent. He's the head of the SPARTAN-IV program. A former SPARTAN-II washout. He would know how fucked everything from the project was considering his history with it. Another hint to this is from the book "New Blood" where he tells Buck that the humanity in SPARTAN-IV's is very important, and sets them apart from the preceding Spartan generations
@@Boopy357 but wouldn't Halsey recognized him if he was Musa? It's unlikely she wouldn't recognize one of her spartans especially since she was always able to tell them apart back when they wore identical armor
Halo 4 spartans drop down with jump jets...... Halo infinite, nah we going back to drop pods. Seems like 343 has no idea what vision they want for Halo anymore.
Aye Co Breeze the reason Spartans are listed as Mia is to spread the legend that Spartans never die.. I think he was mocking her for claiming he’s listed as Mia kinda like saying yeah we all know what that means
It’s a play on Spartans the Ancient Greek warriors obviously it’s the “spartan” part. But Rhodesians (modern day Zimbabwe) were thought to never die because they were cut off from all supply’s for decades but still fought on until South Africa (apartheid government) backed out and Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and that’s the “Rhodesians never die” became Spartans never die
I appreciate not everyone attacking me for not knowing. Goes to show you how awesome the halo community is. Been playing since original Xbox. I’ll be fan no matter how much it changes. Thanks for explaining that to me. It’s always seemed like a contradiction thanks again though for explaining.
Aye Co Breeze I don’t even fall for the far fetched voodoo of other things Star Wars, Star Trek, dungeons and dragons. Space wizards and or orks never felt real enough to immerse me in the world but in halo little things like the accents of the marines Irish, Scottish, Mexican, South African and Australian plus humanity’s willingness to commit war crimes and cover ups (like in real life) felt real enough that my brain nearly accepted it as truth.
Hes being sarcastic. He scoffs and goes "Spartans never die?". This is because Spartans are human too, and its silly to pretend that they're missing when they're dead, which they believed to be the case, since he's been missing for years.
So... Halsey kind of became a patsy for ONI? Because Halsey didn't do it all on her own, she just worked for ONI. In her journal (from the Halo Reach special edition) she says that she was hired amongst several other scientists and just got promoted as time went on because she was so talented. Halsey didn't even abduct the kids, she only met John and him alone, then ONI agents abducted them. She just oversaw their development. What I think happened was ONI couldn't keep a lid on the crimes they committed to make the Spartan IIs, so they used Halsey as a patsy and blamed everything on her.
Halsey needed test subjects and under her request, children were easier to indoctrinate. Just because she didn't kidnap them herself, doesn't mean she isn't guilty of it
I don’t think they were blaming her. As demeaning and antagonistic the interrogator was, Halsey called out his true intentions, which was to dissect the psyche of the spartan program and factory make a second MasterChief.
Bro what halsey did doesn't sit right with me at all. I seriously hate the idea of kidnapping children to make super soldiers, especially since they were originally created to fight human rebels. It's true that they were huge advantage in covenant war but still. This might be a hot take but I don't like the idea of sacrificing few people (in this case children) to save billions especially if its against their will. They may be a small price to pay for the greater good but still they are valid people who were forced against their will. Maybe its just me who thinks like that.
Sacrificing a few kids for billions is a small price to pay. War is never nice, I’m sure the insurrectionists did inhumane things as well. Do you think the Nazis were the only ones who comitited war crimes. The Japanese, the Americans, the Russians, the Chinese, the British, pretty much everyone committed them. It’s humane nature to be cruel, limiting the cruelty to a minimum is the best option
@@_Donovan I know. There is no good or bad side in war. Everyone do cruel things in war but I'm still against of what halsey did regardless of the outcome.
@@bangtan4ever912 be against her if you want in my book what she did was horrible kidnapping children but without the Spartans without the Chief Humanity would have died Sometimes things must be done it’s like the saying goes “the needs of the many out weights the needs of the few” do I think it’s ethical what she did no but she did what sadly needed to be done and you must admit she succeeded and saved humanity with the help of her Spartans and Her most loved and prized Spartan Sierra 117 the Master Chief or As we know him John
@@punchoutgaming1528 Thing is she didn't create those spartans to fight the covenant. It's to fight human rebels.The covenant came along the way and she use that as a excuse to answer her crimes, but it did save humanity. This is such a grey subject. But either way what halsey did is extremely fucked up and evil.
I think I know what the biggest problem with Halsey was. Her lack of compassion and empathy for others, like those Spartan soldiers for example. Since they were turned into super soldiers, some of their humanity was stripped away where they didn't live normal lives, and it was all because of her. If she was forced to undergo the same stuff she made them undergo, I bet she wouldn't like it either. She can sit there and say her work saved the human race, but it wasn't her body that was altered, or her own humanity stripped away, in the process.
Well She actualy cares a lot of all spartans 2 If I remember correctly she sees them as they childrens Some of them call her "mom" John call her whit respect he don't skip the doctor tittle
Well 2 be fair no one in the UNSC can know because of how secretive they are it’s like does every British soldier know the name of every MI6/MI7 agent? No. Halsey does because she’s the one who actually hand picked them. ( fact when people learn the identities of mi7 agents the agents are stripped, beaten and shoved in a bag in their own apartment)
I hate that he thinks the spartan 2s have sociopathic tendencies when they fight they’re literally thinking of one thing, that’s to save humanity when they were killing the covenant, they care a lot for each other and humanity
I watch this now and I feel like it's Chief who is talking to her. It's just the voice and in a way how he says things. When he talks about "At his core, he was broken." It sounded personal
The voice is different, Chief doesn't seem like he would make this kind of interrogation himself, she would recognise him even if she couldn't see him and so she wouldn't make the "What does John have to do with this" comment. ITS NOT CHIEF
Chief doesn't hate her though, nor blame her for what happened, or hold any ill-will at all. He, as well as a good *most* of the rest of the Spartan-IIs that still live, look at her as a mother figure. They care a great deal about her, and she them.
Edit: 0:01-3:01 I really feel like this was us, hooked onto halo at a young age for me I was the same age as the Spartans when they started to “train” I feel like he’s talking about our generation 01 when he says children idk 😭😭.
Annnnnd then they went woke and race swapped the main character with the excuse of "We didn't know Master Chief was the main character". Then wondered why their game was a failure. I mean they still didn't figure out woke = broke, and they decided to make Cortana crazy to get rid of her so they could insert some pathetic woke Trash to replace Cortana and then wondered why true Halo fans didn't bond with her and hated her.
Nothing for Halo 4 or the MCC in general? Yeah they are clearly focused on Infinite now. Let’s hope they don’t abandon the MCC for years like last time with H5.
imagine if you were captured, tortured by time travelers, force fed your own shit by time travelers, and they went through every single type of method they could think of in an attempt to kill you. Imagine being a monsterous freak to them to the point where you wouldn't have any friends.
No, Jun's voice is incredibly different to this, even taking away from the fact that Jun has a Russian accent. It's not Locke either, his voice is quite different too.
@@blaster112 I'm pretty sure most people, if they were aware of what he has accomplished, would know better. I'm surprised at the lack of respect that many people in the UNSC have towards Chief. He has saved the literal Galaxy, let alone single-handedly saving Humanity many times. Humanity would be extinct without Chief, yet Palmer basically scoffs at Chief, and while it may be an inside joke within the Spartan 4's, insults him. I'm sure Del Rio is aware of his achievements, yet he insults the Chief and orders for his arrest! It's only two people, but still, it annoys me so much that Humanities saviour is joked about and threatened. I reckon most people would be stunned when they first meet him, just being in his presence, no matter how professional they try to be. I love the last cutscene though. The guy on the treadmill stumbles when he notices the Chief, and that the rest of the soldiers and scientists, even the Spartans are "Blinded? Paralysed? Dumbstruck?" when they see him. Just watching them all stopping what they are doing to look at him like they are looking at a God. It's so cool!
@@wumbosaurus9121 I mean, they are looking at the biggest hero Humanity has ever had. The rank and file of the UNSC military, excluding some older ODSTs, know what he has accomplished and are rightfully awed by Spartans in general, but Chief in particular.
I get the gist on where this interrogater was going for, but it's shameful to replace a man that cannot be forgotten. When you look at WWII's American USS Enterprise, they can be replaced as hardware, but not the name. Spartans are humans, not machines. *Spartans Never Die*
I always like how people defend halsey via her own logic of post-hoc argument "the spartans saved mankind from genocide, lets ignore what the original purpose was and what it costed to make these spartans, just know that its justified due to this incident of religious fervor driven genocide"
no matter how much the UNSC disagrees with her actions she is simply the next step in human civilization not just her spartans but doctor halsey herself we can only imagine how strong the spartan IV would be if she created them let alone created the mark VI i personally love her as a character and hope that they bring her back my reasoning is that she dint just look at the spartans as "Military Hardware" she looks at them as her greatest achievement and even as her own children i feel that with her the entire series of halo and all universe could be changed if they let her continue her work and the fact i think she could have stopped cortana from going rampant if she wasnt imprisoned
So why did they make her horribly British in halo infinite? This is the voice I remember and the terrible accent they gave her sounded so awful from the voice actress
Bro let me settle the argument once and for all. The person who is talking to halsey is a red haired irish man who used to work as a comedian before taking his history degree to become a intelligence agent for oni and the unsc. Pretty incredible, am I right?
Halsey went from a Prideful Scientist to a Defensive Mother the moment John Was mentioned

@@Shiketaum You realize that other than the specifics, the overall project was at the orders of ONI? I mean, blame her if you really... really want to, I guess, but recognize that regardless of her involvement, ONI was willing to do whatever it took to crush the separatists, and later the Covenant. Yes, what she did wasn't pretty, nor particularly ethical, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.
ONI's been on her ass for years
It won’t (:
This person is jun
I love how you see how she did care for them. She may not show it openly but they where like children to her. She did what had to be done in her eyes to save humanity. I think my favorite part is when she says “ don’t underestimate them. But most importantly don’t underestimate him.”

Halo 4 Intro: Serious, dramatic and question inducing introduction to new trilogy.

Glad im not the only one who felt like halo 5's into felt like a rip off of the beginning of Avengers AOU 😂
"Your mistake is seeing Spartans as military hardware" If you've played Halo Infinite already, you know how much this line really means something when it comes to Master Chief.
And Dr Catherine Halsey’s work and her people she worked a lot on.
1:56 Fun fact that would be the only Brute to appear in Halo's 4 and 5.
ONI operates like our own government. Put someone up to a horrible job and throw them under the bus when word gets out.
she saved humanity
-She- John
@@Reach1335 but john wouldnt have existed in the same way if it wasnt for her ;)
She saved humanity on accident, the original Spartans were made to fight insurrectionists not the covenant.
Yep but she wasn't the only one John and the elites did too it's kind of funny when you think about it truth caused his own downfall by replacing the elites with brutes had he not done that the great schism would have never occured and the covenant would have most likely won his ego and overconfidence lost him the war lol.
Yeah but at what cost, and she saved humanity on complete accident.
Remember sure Halsey had the idea to kidnap kids and turn them into super soldiers, but it was ONI who gave Halsey the OK
Exactly; they're building ultimate soldiers. Just like in Star Wars they use younger minds to do that
@@TurielTyrael44-bf1ld6zu6s a perfect example
When u realize the 2 voices there are the same as chief and cortana 😳
"Do not underestimate... him."
Interesting things to note-
1- Spartans 'never die" due to propaganda, to avoid a moral drop, any spartan killed in action or otherwise is listed as M.I.A. John just happened to be just so- but everyone believed him to he.
2- Spartans were indeed intended to crush human rebellions, not the covenant. They were taken at 6 years old and "reforged" through horrible processes on Reach. It just so happened that it was just in time for said war to come.
3- Due to the growing distane regular soldiers had twards Spartans, they often were woefully under credited for their deeds. Akin more to a group effort than it acually was. If they gave a metal to a spartan every time they earned one, they could forge a whole new suit out of them.
And 4- Sargent Johnson was a Spartan 1, or at least a prototype. Obviously there wasn't quite the same process or development of armor at the type as with the spartan 2's. They also learned that adults were suboptimal for the process. And since the whole thing wasn't really a booming success, it was buried under red tape. But makes things a little easier to understand how he got off the ring
You can't judge Halsey in strictly black and white terms. She's a shades of grey character. I don't feel she shows enough repentance, or acceptance for the horrific act that is kidnapping children to indoctrinate them into pure killing machines, and she adopts a very post-hoc 'ends justify the means' conclusion. In a sense she was 'fortunate' that the Covenant War erupted as it gives a nice veneer to the Spartan-II programme; in an alternate timeline, where the Covenant either didn't exist or didn't find humanity or otherwise didn't go to war with Humanity, the Spartan-IIs likely would have continued in their original intended purpose of being the scalpel of a totalitarian UNSC regime, crushing freedom and self-determination of other human populations. Nevertheless, she's quite right in her claim that her work did litterally save the human race (which, if it even needs to be said, is a moral good). So I have to admit, the ends DO justify her means - but it doesn't justify her philosophy, her attitude, or HER.
Tbf the Insurrectionists were no saints either. Considering how much of a detriment to the race's development it would have been for us to devolve in a squabbling clutch of warring tribes ruled by warlords the UNSC had to be a bit iron fisted at times. The Gen II's were a result of someone not distracted by hand-wringing to get the job done.
@@ethrsag735The insurrectionists had every right to want to succeed from the UEG. The core worlds treated them poorly, and they wanted to go, the UNSC started the mess, and the insurrectionists did their job and responded.
this is SUCH a powerful scene
A hero to all of humanity, no matter what it cost.
I keep coming here after watching episodes of the Halo TV series...this Halsey and the one in the show have such differences. This Halsey truly shows how much faith she has in John, no matter the odds, she knows he will win, while in the show she thinks John needs help and protection, as well as questions his choices and actions. Halsey is also a lot more commanding in presence and shows self-assurance here compared to the show, tho I think that may be due to a matter of age perhaps, but the way even young Halsey is written in halo lore, she has always been quite sure of her actions. Especially when it comes to her spartans.
I kinda like this halsey, she is more cold but brutally honest. The halsey in the TV series is sweet but very manipulative.
I like the canon Halsey, because she may have done terrible things, but she has regrets and cares for the Spartans. Silver Halsey is like, let’s erase John and replace him with Cortana.
Humanity's next step is a lack of socialization and mildly sociopathic Behavior but being capable of hyper violence.
“Catherine, Spartans never die” chilled me to my bones
She's right, her Spartans saved Humanity, they are Our Next Step, a new Breed of Super Humans!!!
This is definitely happening after Halo 4 and beginning of Halo 5. Chief went rogue, after some huge fight the chief is presumed dead. Though she knows he is alive because he escaped and she got captured out at the outer colonies. A huge civil war erupts and the senator wants answers.
Never mind she has both her hands still, unless she got a new one haha.
Brady Johnson but she got two arms
So android arms possibly Kat has one
Blast from the future, no, it's happening at the beginning of 4, cheif is believed dead after the Forward Unto Dawn split in half after the events of Halo.
@@thelowground7741 lol thanks (my additional comment from six years blows my OG comment out of the water.)
its Jun A266, he wants to know more about the older program, so he can make adjustments to his Spartan IV prgram.He's using a voice disguise other than that he is bald head and all the signs are there.
Hint:
Halsey -'You want to replace him'
@V-Rex Mega bullshit. The voice is completely different, even taking away from the fact that Jun has a Russian accent. The voice is way too deep, the accent is perfect American, and that is completely different from the way Jun talks. Not to mention, Jun had a tattoo of a hand holding arrows, it doesn't look like the interrogator has that tattoo
Lasky was a key part in the Spartan IV program (Jun was too). It's Lasky interrogating her.
The IVs are all decorated, experienced marines and ODST, meaning they don't have the same emotional suppressants as the IIs or IIIs, which is why he's talking about them lacking basic humanity.
@@SailorPupitar You are all wrong lmao. It's someone that Musa Ghanem, aka Musa-096 sent. He's the head of the SPARTAN-IV program. A former SPARTAN-II washout. He would know how fucked everything from the project was considering his history with it. Another hint to this is from the book "New Blood" where he tells Buck that the humanity in SPARTAN-IV's is very important, and sets them apart from the preceding Spartan generations
@@Boopy357 but wouldn't Halsey recognized him if he was Musa? It's unlikely she wouldn't recognize one of her spartans especially since she was always able to tell them apart back when they wore identical armor
@@CT--wq2ly I didn't say Musa himself. He's already too high up in the ranks to do interrogations himself.
Halo 4 spartans drop down with jump jets...... Halo infinite, nah we going back to drop pods. Seems like 343 has no idea what vision they want for Halo anymore.
This game is nearly a decade old. Let that sink in.
loved the end of Halo 3, never thought the beginning of halo 4 would be so good.
Wake up chief - i need you
Every time I watched this trailer, my first thought was ,at least give them damn pillows.
It always confused me when he said “master chief is dead” then says “Spartans never die”
Aye Co Breeze the reason Spartans are listed as Mia is to spread the legend that Spartans never die.. I think he was mocking her for claiming he’s listed as Mia kinda like saying yeah we all know what that means
It’s a play on Spartans the Ancient Greek warriors obviously it’s the “spartan” part.
But Rhodesians (modern day Zimbabwe) were thought to never die because they were cut off from all supply’s for decades but still fought on until South Africa (apartheid government) backed out and Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and that’s the “Rhodesians never die” became Spartans never die
I appreciate not everyone attacking me for not knowing. Goes to show you how awesome the halo community is. Been playing since original Xbox. I’ll be fan no matter how much it changes. Thanks for explaining that to me. It’s always seemed like a contradiction thanks again though for explaining.
Aye Co Breeze I don’t even fall for the far fetched voodoo of other things Star Wars, Star Trek, dungeons and dragons. Space wizards and or orks never felt real enough to immerse me in the world but in halo little things like the accents of the marines Irish, Scottish, Mexican, South African and Australian plus humanity’s willingness to commit war crimes and cover ups (like in real life) felt real enough that my brain nearly accepted it as truth.
Hes being sarcastic. He scoffs and goes "Spartans never die?". This is because Spartans are human too, and its silly to pretend that they're missing when they're dead, which they believed to be the case, since he's been missing for years.
So... Halsey kind of became a patsy for ONI? Because Halsey didn't do it all on her own, she just worked for ONI. In her journal (from the Halo Reach special edition) she says that she was hired amongst several other scientists and just got promoted as time went on because she was so talented. Halsey didn't even abduct the kids, she only met John and him alone, then ONI agents abducted them. She just oversaw their development. What I think happened was ONI couldn't keep a lid on the crimes they committed to make the Spartan IIs, so they used Halsey as a patsy and blamed everything on her.
Halsey needed test subjects and under her request, children were easier to indoctrinate. Just because she didn't kidnap them herself, doesn't mean she isn't guilty of it
I don’t think they were blaming her. As demeaning and antagonistic the interrogator was, Halsey called out his true intentions, which was to dissect the psyche of the spartan program and factory make a second MasterChief.
I think Sigorney Weaver would be an excellent casting role
never underestimate a spartan.... but never ever make the mistake of underestimating THE spartan that broke the mold
Bro what halsey did doesn't sit right with me at all. I seriously hate the idea of kidnapping children to make super soldiers, especially since they were originally created to fight human rebels. It's true that they were huge advantage in covenant war but still. This might be a hot take but I don't like the idea of sacrificing few people (in this case children) to save billions especially if its against their will. They may be a small price to pay for the greater good but still they are valid people who were forced against their will. Maybe its just me who thinks like that.
Sacrificing a few kids for billions is a small price to pay. War is never nice, I’m sure the insurrectionists did inhumane things as well. Do you think the Nazis were the only ones who comitited war crimes. The Japanese, the Americans, the Russians, the Chinese, the British, pretty much everyone committed them. It’s humane nature to be cruel, limiting the cruelty to a minimum is the best option
@@_Donovan I know. There is no good or bad side in war. Everyone do cruel things in war but I'm still against of what halsey did regardless of the outcome.
@@bangtan4ever912 be against her if you want in my book what she did was horrible kidnapping children but without the Spartans without the Chief Humanity would have died Sometimes things must be done it’s like the saying goes “the needs of the many out weights the needs of the few” do I think it’s ethical what she did no but she did what sadly needed to be done and you must admit she succeeded and saved humanity with the help of her Spartans and Her most loved and prized Spartan Sierra 117 the Master Chief or As we know him John
@@punchoutgaming1528 Thing is she didn't create those spartans to fight the covenant. It's to fight human rebels.The covenant came along the way and she use that as a excuse to answer her crimes, but it did save humanity. This is such a grey subject. But either way what halsey did is extremely fucked up and evil.
I think I know what the biggest problem with Halsey was. Her lack of compassion and empathy for others, like those Spartan soldiers for example. Since they were turned into super soldiers, some of their humanity was stripped away where they didn't live normal lives, and it was all because of her. If she was forced to undergo the same stuff she made them undergo, I bet she wouldn't like it either. She can sit there and say her work saved the human race, but it wasn't her body that was altered, or her own humanity stripped away, in the process.
Well
She actualy cares a lot of all spartans 2
If I remember correctly she sees them as they childrens
Some of them call her "mom"
John call her whit respect he don't skip the doctor tittle
Definitely not Locke, you see his hand 0:28 it's pale white so that rules it out
Personally I think it could be Jun from halo reach (he looks baldy) and he lost his accent
Grudgingly as it may have been... Halsey's work saved humanity many times over
3:03 This part used to give me the creeps, it's that voice thing lol
who else in the UNSC can name every Spartan II by name, NOT designation number, fully armored + helmets? Dr. Kathrine Halsey thats who.
Well 2 be fair no one in the UNSC can know because of how secretive they are it’s like does every British soldier know the name of every MI6/MI7 agent? No. Halsey does because she’s the one who actually hand picked them. ( fact when people learn the identities of mi7 agents the agents are stripped, beaten and shoved in a bag in their own apartment)
I hate that he thinks the spartan 2s have sociopathic tendencies when they fight they’re literally thinking of one thing, that’s to save humanity when they were killing the covenant, they care a lot for each other and humanity
Looks like 2 People underestimated Master Chief.
It pains me to watch Halo 5 scenes after seeing something like this, like how did 343 go backwards in terms of graphics???
I watch this now and I feel like it's Chief who is talking to her. It's just the voice and in a way how he says things. When he talks about "At his core, he was broken." It sounded personal
The voice is different, Chief doesn't seem like he would make this kind of interrogation himself, she would recognise him even if she couldn't see him and so she wouldn't make the "What does John have to do with this" comment.
ITS NOT CHIEF
Chief doesn't hate her though, nor blame her for what happened, or hold any ill-will at all. He, as well as a good *most* of the rest of the Spartan-IIs that still live, look at her as a mother figure. They care a great deal about her, and she them.
So the AIs were just to keep the Spartans sane?
"Katherine, Spartan's never die!"
anyone know the background soundtrack @1:51 ?

I must admit really do love Halsey. The method used may not be Orthodox, but it proved good in the end.
"My work saved the human race"
Honestly, i dont know a single lawyer who can argue that
And then halo 5 happened and they basically ignored the Master Chief entirely.
Edit: 0:01-3:01
I really feel like this was us, hooked onto halo at a young age for me I was the same age as the Spartans when they started to “train” I feel like he’s talking about our generation 01 when he says children idk 😭😭.
Damn I got the same feeling
Annnnnd then they went woke and race swapped the main character with the excuse of "We didn't know Master Chief was the main character". Then wondered why their game was a failure.
I mean they still didn't figure out woke = broke, and they decided to make Cortana crazy to get rid of her so they could insert some pathetic woke Trash to replace Cortana and then wondered why true Halo fans didn't bond with her and hated her.
instead of of saying that she is a criminal we must taking here of a queen
It’s such a cool intro.
Now if only the game didn’t suck…
People my father is Orthodox christian monk.....for the services

PUSH SOME CONTENT 343. Like wtf?! I love this game but we’re getting NOTHING.
Nothing for Halo 4 or the MCC in general? Yeah they are clearly focused on Infinite now. Let’s hope they don’t abandon the MCC for years like last time with H5.
"My Spartans are humanities next step. Our destiny as a species." That line makes my balls quiver like a jellyfish.
What the freak
imagine if you were captured, tortured by time travelers, force fed your own shit by time travelers, and they went through every single type of method they could think of in an attempt to kill you. Imagine being a monsterous freak to them to the point where you wouldn't have any friends.
The officer that asking the questions never gets distracted
What if the man questioning her is Jun?
It could Locke, Jun, or...
I think its Jun
Not Locke you can see his hand was pale white, definitely a white guy, Locke would not be pale
Why didn’t you just clone an army to begin with, INSTEAD OF KIDNAPPING PEOPLE?!
She's no Kaminoan
The clones didn’t have drivers at the wheel they all had mental handicaps and organ failures weeks after being cloned
I think the person interagating her was Jun
Mrpopcaps117 most people say is Locke. But I also think is June. Locke have black skin, this guy isn't.
No, Jun's voice is incredibly different to this, even taking away from the fact that Jun has a Russian accent. It's not Locke either, his voice is quite different too.
@@wumbosaurus9121 Not to mention: Jun would know better than to assume the chief was dead unless a body was found.
@@blaster112 I'm pretty sure most people, if they were aware of what he has accomplished, would know better. I'm surprised at the lack of respect that many people in the UNSC have towards Chief. He has saved the literal Galaxy, let alone single-handedly saving Humanity many times. Humanity would be extinct without Chief, yet Palmer basically scoffs at Chief, and while it may be an inside joke within the Spartan 4's, insults him. I'm sure Del Rio is aware of his achievements, yet he insults the Chief and orders for his arrest! It's only two people, but still, it annoys me so much that Humanities saviour is joked about and threatened. I reckon most people would be stunned when they first meet him, just being in his presence, no matter how professional they try to be. I love the last cutscene though. The guy on the treadmill stumbles when he notices the Chief, and that the rest of the soldiers and scientists, even the Spartans are "Blinded? Paralysed? Dumbstruck?" when they see him. Just watching them all stopping what they are doing to look at him like they are looking at a God. It's so cool!
@@wumbosaurus9121 I mean, they are looking at the biggest hero Humanity has ever had. The rank and file of the UNSC military, excluding some older ODSTs, know what he has accomplished and are rightfully awed by Spartans in general, but Chief in particular.
Thank you for uploading.

I no what it is you want thank you card
I was right.
I get the gist on where this interrogater was going for, but it's shameful to replace a man that cannot be forgotten.

*Spartans Never Die*
1:08 to see that poor dude round off that Sangheili's Killionaire
I always like how people defend halsey via her own logic of post-hoc argument "the spartans saved mankind from genocide, lets ignore what the original purpose was and what it costed to make these spartans, just know that its justified due to this incident of religious fervor driven genocide"
Dr halsey 4174
no matter how much the UNSC disagrees with her actions she is simply the next step in human civilization not just her spartans but doctor halsey herself we can only imagine how strong the spartan IV would be if she created them let alone created the mark VI i personally love her as a character and hope that they bring her back my reasoning is that she dint just look at the spartans as "Military Hardware" she looks at them as her greatest achievement and even as her own children i feel that with her the entire series of halo and all universe could be changed if they let her continue her work and the fact i think she could have stopped cortana from going rampant if she wasnt imprisoned
Spartans never die
The children abducted for the Spartan II program would have died in the war with the covenant, had they not been...along with the rest of humanity.
So, I was made to believe this is Jun, interviewing her. How did my dude lose his cool accent?
Spartans 😊
So why did they make her horribly British in halo infinite? This is the voice I remember and the terrible accent they gave her sounded so awful from the voice actress
Awake ⏰️
They cannot comprehend. whatever we do is for the greater good of humanity..😊..
It's chip
Face no who are
This cutscene shows elites wielding plasma rifles, I know it was in the past, but if it shows up here, we couldn’t have seen it in the game at all. Bs
Where is mastechief where are those unbroken elements of permanent morality
Bro let me settle the argument once and for all. The person who is talking to halsey is a red haired irish man who used to work as a comedian before taking his history degree to become a intelligence agent for oni and the unsc. Pretty incredible, am I right?
I thought he was Jun from Halo Reach
Goddamn I get so fucking HYPE when she says not to underestimate the chief, like holy shit I'm shaking
Snowed in playing again. Wake up Chief.
No one can replace chief and chief will never die .
