I'm proud you made a video covering this overlooked topic and easter egg, as far as I can tell, seemingly only you and HiddenXperia acknowledged Samuel-034 's sacrifice
"Greetings young one. You have been born into dangerous times. A sharp mind coupled with refined physical prowess can be the key to survival. But as often as not, it will be your inherent physical traits that will win the day. And in this regard, you will be superior to your more common soldier." (Shows a young John being ready for Augmentation.) "For you are a Spartan, an elite soldier. Something truly special. Your weapons, your armor, and most importantly, your brothers and sisters by your sides." (John is starring intently at his Mjolnir Armor as he envisions himself in it.) "Now embrace your destiny as their leader. Join Blue Team." (The scenes shows the remaining for members of Blue Team.) "Kelly-087, AKA the Rabbit, a fast yet swift personal." (Kelly gives him a wave.) "Fred-104, your close quarter specialist." (Fred gives John a crisp salute.) "Linda-085, the fiercest hunter of your group." (Linda gives John a nod.) "And Samuel-034, the Heart and Soul of your team." (Samuel gives John a thumbs up.) "You are each a piece of a whole person. And the UNSC will call you to defend and give your lives if need be."
I read the books with the old CE art back in the day. Sam's sacrifice left a mark on me, even more so since I happen to have the same name. The lessons he taught Chief post mortem, and the fact that this was acknowledged in game made me not only really happy that EU lore is recognised, but also a little teary because I had to relive those pages from my 16 year old memory all over again. T-T
I’m glad I had watched Fall of Reach before playing Infinite. When I heard Chief say 034 I knew who he was talking about. Infinite had some tear jerking moments especially in scenes like that. Callbacks to characters we lost along the way. Samuel, Keyes, Cortana.
Kinda wish we would've been able to see the Major Halo UA-camrs first playthrough of this game. So many great references that I haven't seen people understand or know about.
i swear theres two Operation Red Flags because i have a comic book with John and Blue team when he first received Cortana and Red Flag was happening while they were on Reach. they were defending the coordinates to Earth on the last remaining UNSC ship on station in orbit, John, Blue Team, and a shit ton of other Spartans all destroyed the ship and then went to the surface to defend a base and then escape. there was never any mention of them kidnapping a prophet and it to get a truce. ill have to reread it and make sure
I broke down so hard when I realized he mentioned Samuel. Chief at his very core is human like us all. The deepest human sentiment is to never forget what we have lost.
Another thing is chief used Sams number and name in the weapons deletion protocol. Had Sam survived to adulthood he could’ve been the strongest Spartan out of them all
one thing i didn’t like about the Halo campaigns are they forget like chief had/has other friends like in infinite where Echo 216 asks him if he has anyone else out there like friends/ family and he says no. but Blue team exist and he was better friends with them than Cortana but the games make master chief and cortana be a lot closer even though they knew each other for a little more than a year (from Reach to 5
Blue team was on thr infinity with John. if you listen to certain audio logs, Chief was with Lasky when the banished found them and took control of the ring. Lasky, Blue Team, and most of the spartan program are all dead. Cortana destroyed the spartn IV training facility which means RIP Jun since he was still training Spartans around this time. Halsey is in hiding most likely, Locke and his team are probably helping out the arbiter right now in their fight against the covenant and we all know what happened with the spirit of fires story.
I mean, arguably Red Flag has just as much meaning to the Chief. It's the mission he was originally paired with Cortana for. The Pillar of Autum had to cancel operation Red Flag when they fled reach and the events of Halo Combat Evolved started.
A sad tale, who's your favourite Spartan?
Candice
Aside from chief: probably either Jorge or Linda.
Mine aside from master cheif would be noble team
Noble 6 :’(
@beta wave Spartans don't die, they just go Mia. Also I thought they were actually in cryo Stasis on a covenant ship
It’s awesome that John’s password is 034. Samuel is the literal embodiment of big brother
Samuel was mention in Halo Wars by the Spartans in-game when they are in combat. they say "For Samuel"
I'm proud you made a video covering this overlooked topic and easter egg, as far as I can tell, seemingly only you and HiddenXperia acknowledged Samuel-034 's sacrifice
There are many Halo players who don't upload UA-cam videos. Don't be a tool.
you're proud of him...? you his dad bro 🤨
Cringe
Loved seeing Samuel being mentioned in Infinite. Absolutely love how deep the lore runs!

I know from Fall of Reach this was not how they were introduced. Barely halfway I understood the RC ref. :D
Good one 38.
*Linda-058.
Nice Reach promo reference anyway.

I remember his death in the comic book.
the amount of fuckin therapy John needs, holy shit
As soon I heard 034 I went "Samuel?" And was not disappointed
Having read the books through ghosts of onyx, when chief said Sam's name and Spartan number I actually felt the heartbreak myself. Well done 343
i cried in the books when Sam... went away :(
Hey, he didn't go away, he is just MIA killing the Aliens from the shadow
i think you meant when sam died, got his shit fucked, exploded into smithereens.
I teared up when I heard John saying Samuel-034
2:50 I almost cried during this scene
When I heard him say Samuel for the first time in the campaign I was confused for a minute until I realized he mentioned 034

I loved its inclusion. Holy nostalgia. I’ve always wanted them to bring in more from the books, I wonder where blue team is now 😲
My first name is Samuel, and my middle name is John. I could not be more happy and honoured
I'm so excited that you are talking about my favorite spartan that is only in the books I even use 034 as my tag
Samuel and red flag were great nods to FOR
i swear theres two Operation Red Flags because i have a comic book with John and Blue team when he first received Cortana and Red Flag was happening while they were on Reach. they were defending the coordinates to Earth on the last remaining UNSC ship on station in orbit, John, Blue Team, and a shit ton of other Spartans all destroyed the ship and then went to the surface to defend a base and then escape. there was never any mention of them kidnapping a prophet and it to get a truce. ill have to reread it and make sure
new ultimate halo video i hear? pog
I broke down so hard when I realized he mentioned Samuel. Chief at his very core is human like us all. The deepest human sentiment is to never forget what we have lost.
Goddammit I want Mark IV in Infinite, and not some discount gen 3 Mark IV, no, the real official armor core Mark IV.
Another thing is chief used Sams number and name in the weapons deletion protocol. Had Sam survived to adulthood he could’ve been the strongest Spartan out of them all
one thing i didn’t like about the Halo campaigns are they forget like chief had/has other friends like in infinite where Echo 216 asks him if he has anyone else out there like friends/ family and he says no. but Blue team exist and he was better friends with them than Cortana but the games make master chief and cortana be a lot closer even though they knew each other for a little more than a year (from Reach to 5
John is pretty private about that, that's why he said no.
I think the pilot meant like an actual family or a lover, chief wouldnt be too worried about blue team knowing they can handle their business
In Infinite he doesn't even know if blue team is alive
Blue team was on thr infinity with John. if you listen to certain audio logs, Chief was with Lasky when the banished found them and took control of the ring. Lasky, Blue Team, and most of the spartan program are all dead. Cortana destroyed the spartn IV training facility which means RIP Jun since he was still training Spartans around this time.

I honestly just sat there for a while when chief say “034”
Honestly though you pumping pour these video are awesome! Keep up the great work 👍
really nice video, I had noticed this and was really curios about it :)
I had forgotten about Samuel. Really sad :( nice touch
Just want to know what happened to Officer Mendez. After all, spartan II sees him as father figure.
i would have been tear jerked if instead of red flag he said “be human”
I mean, arguably Red Flag has just as much meaning to the Chief. It's the mission he was originally paired with Cortana for. The Pillar of Autum had to cancel operation Red Flag when they fled reach and the events of Halo Combat Evolved started.
Great vid, are there any books that dive into the young Spartans training?
The Fall of Reach :) and cheers!
Thanks man! I’ll be checking it out!
Where you at bro !
So does this mean we can hack chiefs microsoft account now?
My name is samuel
So we already posting spoilers?
yea
Dude it's been over a week
Didn't Samuel wear the CQB helm?
That was just to show different characters in the movie
They all wore mark V I believe, the animated movie isn’t very loyal to the source material in that regard
Is this a spoiler in the title?
SPOILERS IN THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO BRO
Trinston was here..
How much are willing to sell that care package for?
Nah not willing to sell, sorry
@@UltimateHalo117 please! £20! £40! £70! At least the helmet! 😭
Oh hey that guy that has literally nothing to do with the games
Yo what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you putting campaign spoilers in the video title? Ridiculous.
Why are you on UA-cam when you haven't completed this game yet lol
Master Chief dies kid, get over it
You had the weekend to finish it. No excuse. It's on you. Take accountability. 😆
Get off the internet then
Whats the name of the song used at the start of your video??
