Unnecessary, you 'muricans already have the holy patron saint of war and bloodshed as your Secretary of Defense, General James "it's fun to shoot some people" Mattis.
I actually like Atrioxs character. he looks like he is going to be a strong and relatable character, i hope they dont just anticlimactically kill him off in a cut scene
If Atrioxs remains alive for another few more Halo Wars, then Capt Cutter and his crew have their work ahead of them. And hopefully, this tough Brute will actually have more in store for us than just dying off too soon.
FUCKING right! Man you don't know how happy I am that this is the true opening, and not the Halo Wars 2 marketing, although It was awesome just like Halo 5's, remember guys, this is the REAL GAME, the first cutscene! This is only a fragment of what we have ahead and it looks beautiful!
I had just finished watching the first cutscene when I commented lol. but yeah, im like, an uber-halo nerd but jesus fucking christ was Halo 5's campaign a borefest.
"All you have is one old ship and half a crew" "Ever had to slingshot a ship near a sun that's just about to go supernova just to make it out of a crumbling forerunner shield world while fighting the flood Isabel?"
That is how a captain give a damn hell speech to his men even to encourage them on a dangerous mission first time to see cutter give a great speech unlike other captains who run their crew
I'm on the fence about Isabel. She seems.... I dunno, really tense. But I'm sure as long as she doesn't get involved in Cortana's AI bullshit or whatever somehow, I'll grow to like her more as a character.
Kingx Kai117 That would not be a huge surprise if they did mirror the Chief and Cortana. For now, we at least will hopefully get to see a new and long last story with this series.
The reason she was scared is because she is not a military AI. She is a logistics AI. Everything that went on with atriox is not what she was made for. If she was a military AI, she would've been a little more like cortana in the first 3 halo's; brave, have plans made out, and convince us that she wants to help fight
Rob Tennant I'm not talking about them being killed at a constant rate I mean them being literally tossed around one handed with little effort. Halo wars 1 was different because they brought a spear to a gun fight.
I wanted to stop watching but I couldn't! this made my whole week, it was finals week and I just found out my best friend is moving in week but this small clip here just made my day EPIC! This. Is. Halo.
LIGHTSABER! I see you everywhere man! You are hardcore Halo, and you are awesome! And dude! Don't you love this!? This cutscene packs more story than the entire fucking Halo 5 campaign! And were talking about Story Length AND immersion! This might just be the best Halo Campaign I have ever seen and I am on board man! FUEL THE HYPE TRAIN!
I'm seeing a lot potential for Halo Wars 2. Not a RTS type of guy, but I'm interested to see how HW2 story will go. Hopefully Halo 6 will take some notes from this.
Reclaimer Expect classic, perfect Halo. Coming from somebody who LOOOOVED Halo 4, and enjoyed Halo 5 (despite its many many flaws), THIS is Halo and THIS is what we've been waiting for.
They killed the elites way to easily though. I literally laughed when that first brute slinged the elite into the air. I don't like how 343 always portrays elites as such little pussies. Still though, I'm pumped as hell for the game.
Vlad Tomuta the brutes are like gorilas, and when you have a horde of them, you get destroyed, even if you outsmart them. And if you have a big boost of morale, you can make anything better.
Vlad! These Elites were taken off guard man, PLUS they were being assaulted by these canine gorillas with enormous strength, and normally I would be on your side! But, I wanna say something, This portrayal was meaningful, it wasn't about the elites, in fact, it was a symbol about how the Brutes and Atriox took over! This was not Locke picking in a field of daisies, THIS WAS REVOLUTION! One of the best Halo villains to grace this Earth has dethroned the Didact! The way they took the elites out made them hardly able to fight back, and that was the breaker! In the Atriox trailer, I was on your side, but now that I saw how it went down, goddamn do I feel wrong! I'm a Sangheli at heart, but if there's anything that I've seen that deserves to beat them up again, it's these guys!
I think that scene would have been more meaningful if the elites actually put up a fight. I'm not saying that the elites should have won, but it would have made those brutes look even tougher if the elites were actually portrayed as skilled fighters. Had they actually fought back decently whilst still getting dominated by the brutes, then that would show that the banished are truly an enemy to be feared. Also this is a gripe I've had with 343 since Spartan Ops, they make elites look like complete fools in every cutscenes that includes them(except for the Arbiter). Nevertheless, I can overlook the elites' unusual incompetence in that scene. I'm very hyped for the game and I'm really starting to like Atriox. Can't wait until Feb 19.
I think the reason they were weak, which I don't think the animators intended to do this, but those elites were of a low rank. Telling by their armor, it was blue, that is one of the lowest ranked suits in the elite ranking system. If their armor was that of a spec ops (gray), ranger (from blue to white and others), or a zealot they would've had a tougher fight. ESPECIALLY with the zealots, cause those mfers know what's up. But... the only high ranking elite in that scene was the one caught up with atriox...
oh HELL YES! Nice speech cutter! Alright so Atriox is a pissed off brute who was sick of being cannon fodder and broke away forming his own fighting force sect composed of mercenaries and stolen supplies.
4T3hM4kr0n! Based on what we know now, yeah. Atrioxs says screw dying and serving the greater good of the Covenant. Those brutes ain't playing around this time.
3:23 AM and this speech is said. "OH-RAAH!!" at the top of my lungs. One ship in a hostile filled Forerunner installation in the middle of nowhere with a MIA Spartan, one heavily wounded and only one Active, impossible odds and a war hero Captain that have done AWESOME and risky maneuvers that has a crew that would go through hell and back. THIS!! IS!! HALO!!!
From battling in the distance space against the Covenant to years of lost in space, Capt Cutter showed Isabel that just because the enemy is tough doesn't mean he or his crew run away. With the crew of The Spirit of Fire facing a dangerous mad brute, it is time to go to work with who he has. This is why Capt Cutter ain't backing down. He is always ready to do what needs to be done.
Man captain Cutter speech was so inspirational even a scared Ai is willing to fight again Now that is the reason why I believe humanity will kick any crazy inhuman son of a bitch ass, that will stand between humanity and survival Oooraaaah Marines
Omg how epic would it be to see arbiter and atroix battle in halo 6 at like the final showdown. Or Chief and arbiter fighting to take down atroix,that would be one hell of a fight.
And they did in the first mission preview. Atriox defeated the three Spartans without breaking a sweat. Injured one just because he chose to do so. While leaving the others intact so his Banished can hunt them.
2:40 I want you to take a look at this real quick and imagine how it would've gone if anything was changed! Elites are stronger than Spartans, but they're not as Agile unless you're playing Halo Reach! These elites were caught off guard, and were given the beating! If those Spartans failed even one move I don't think their fate'd be any different!
HUNTER I don't think that he is the luckiest, this is so dumb to say. I would rather say that he is hundreds of years of planification by the Librarian and that he is the best leader they could have.
Elites stand 8-10 ft Tall, some probably taller. And look how small they look compared to the Jiralnae. Those monsters must be like 12-15ft Tall. One can only begin to imagine how strong they are. If I remember correctly they evolved on a Planet more than 2 times the gravity of Earth. Which explains why they leap ridiculous heights on earth. Superbeings Spartans can bench 500lbs without armour. And the Exo suit increases it by a factor of 5. An Elite without Armor is still a dangerous force which puts into perspective how super strong they must be Heck even the Grunts have been seen ripping human limb by limb that's how strong they are. These Aliens are really under portrayed in terms of the might and ferocity they posses. These are not little green men. They are fucking monsters The developers need to do a better job of portraying and conveying that to the audience. The Halo universe is very rich but that is just one of the bigger weaknesses ODSTs and Marines are just normal humans who were going up against impossible odds. What chance did they have on the battle field with these horrifying aliens. You can truly appreciate they novelty of Halo once you appreciate the Power imbalance between the weak, frail Humans and these superbeings by human standards
I welled up a little watching this. Why? Because the Halo a new is finally back. The Halo that I've loved and stuck by for a decade and a half is back. This gives me hope, and that is always worth fighting for.
Dam Captain Cutter knows how to bring the hype. Much better represented then his old self and of a man who won't loose or back down from a fight. He is the most awesome character to come out how halo since Reach.
The Brutes fighting back is my fav part of a cutscene i've seen in years lol. I was upset when they stopped putting Brutes in Halo. I expected them to fight back though. The covenant treated them like crap.
I think I'm going to love this story because its more personal. A fight between two great leaders duking it out with their armies and strategy, rather then there being some doomsday weapon at the end. then again there still might be one lol.
All we need are the graphics and story of this, and the classic gameplay of 3/Reach for Halo to come back as an actual relavent name in the FPS scene of today!
The day Fleet Admiral Hood and Captain Cutter reunite will be a moment to remember. After all, Admiral Hood was under the command of Cutter back in the day and served as his "XO"(Coordinater).
I loved Halo 4, it was my second favorite game, and I enjoyed Halo 5 despite its many flaws - but oh my god THIS is Halo. Cutter is literally about to become my favorite character - who used to be Thel - but this is a natural born leader, and he's fantastic. I LOVE this.
only seen two missions in halo wars 2 and already its a better story, characters, and general game then the whole of halo 5 put together. hopefully this restores our faith in halo again, cause i would really hate if a beloved franchise like halo went down the tube becuase the creators wanted to be cheap and lazy with the story telling like they did in halo 5
Spartan IIs activated. This entire crew is the generation of the original legends. I just wish Cpt. Cutter said he sees in the one old ship "hope", not "home".
He hates the Covenant because of what they made him and his clan do time after time over and over again. Sending just 40 brutes against enemy lines for the sole purpose of causing chaos and disorganization while all 40 still get slaughtered just so the elites can swoop in and catch human forces off guard. He Hates Humans because Humans Killed hundreds or even thousands of his clan. He does not see the enemy of his enemy as his friend. He sees it as him vs the world and the entire world vs him.
Captain Cutter: "So no Isabel, we won't be running anywhere today." Isabel: "Sir, yes s- Captain Cutter: "Especially since we no longer have a slipspace drive. Couldn't run even if we wanted to." Isabel: -________-
From this one cutscenes alone, I am already up to speed with Atriox and his background/role. It gave me clarity. It set stuff up _properly_....unlike Halo 5.
It's her attitude, the way she looks at the spirit of fire and its crew. Her fear is completely justified the bad guy looks terrifying but that doesn't mean she can assume our heros are weak cowards. That's my impression anyway
those brutes are brutal, and from what i saw of the game, its gonna be a beautiful game. multiplayer is lacking from what i can tell with the betas but i only care about the campaign of games so im hyped
Everyone! Guys this might be another example of the Elites getting killed, and might look like the disrespect that they were given in Halo 5's cutscenes, but believe me when I say this, These Brutes, Atriox! These are new enemies, this cutscene was not made to show what happened in real time, no it was a symbol that the Brutes have dominated. The elites not fighting back is because they were caught off guard, symbolism that the covenant never saw anything like an empire of their expendable, muscly, idiotic brutes, and the shock that they made was so powerful that it knocked them off their feet. This is NOT an example of 343 killing elites for no reason! No! This is a justification, a CONFIRMATION that Atriox has inspired an army, and that not even the entire covenant can contain, them dying so quickly both made sense in the cutscene, and symbolized the power and threat that Atriox serves as a villain, a villain that looks so awesome that just by this cutscene, I have dethroned the Didact in favour of him!
Halo wars was such a great story and this one looks great too, I wish they would but something like this in a fps game, I'd love to fight a war clan of brutes and elites, develop hand to hand combat and this would be an amazing game
I'm pretty annoyed they just glossed over the fact they have awoken 30 years in the future. No one stopped to ask what the ark is, why it's there, how we won the war, why there are UNSC on the ark, why Isabel didn't join cortana, why cortana isn't even mentioned, or the fact the galaxy is now at war with the machines. Just here's a new bad guy, go get em
Still, it is very awkward narrative pacing. When she got plugged into the console she should have started to tell them about the war. Just a little briefing "they aren't covenant, The covenant lost the war 4 years ago at the battle of earth, they are far worse" just a little line which lets the audience know the crew are still readjusting to the new world.
remember they are outside of the galaxy. so Isabel kept herself safe when she was stranded on the ark and waited for someone to answer the distress signal. People have asked that question before and some people have came to the conclusion that Cortana cant reach that far or is yet unable to get there since the ark is outside the galaxy.
literally no communication and this happens like directly after the events of halo 5 and the unsc was cut off 5 months from the rest of the galaxy before the Spirit of fire arrived so she probably doesnt know what is happening and didnt get the message.
You need to understand the context, they just had a first contact with this enemy and they knew Human, at least, is wining the war. Atriox is now the pressing matter and they knew they have to face them alone. And as Cutter said in Halo Wars 1: "One problem at a time".
Atriox is by far my favorite character in the Halo franchise so far. Where others of his kind were ruled by blind faith. He had enough of that religious shit and struck out on his own to become the big brute in the bar.

#Cutter for President
Ben Lyon cutter will smack trump left an right
Unnecessary, you 'muricans already have the holy patron saint of war and bloodshed as your Secretary of Defense, General James "it's fun to shoot some people" Mattis.
And he will wage a great war campaign and make Trump pay for it. And after that he will MAC Trump's face.
Hadrian nah he would vote Bernie... Besides Cutter fights for ALL Humanity...not just uneducated morons and rich fucks that wanted Trumpy to win.
Make the UEG great again
Cutters speech gave me the chills.
It seems a few years in the cryo sleep makes miracles.
+bluebanana He is a miracle leader. If you faught in hell facing flood and covenant, then he is a miracle
Josh Will: ikr!
The "Oohrah!" made it more special
Isabel: We need to run, as far and as fast as we can!
Cutter: Negative, Isabel. I don't like it.
I actually like Atrioxs character. he looks like he is going to be a strong and relatable character, i hope they dont just anticlimactically kill him off in a cut scene
QuirkyAdventures Knowing 343... Yes xd
I hope they dont kill him like Jul 'Mdama :(
Axel de Bieber
Relax, they're keeping Brian away from this project.
i hope they dont kill him for like 2 more games. Im tired of a new villain every game
If Atrioxs remains alive for another few more Halo Wars, then Capt Cutter and his crew have their work ahead of them. And hopefully, this tough Brute will actually have more in store for us than just dying off too soon.
there is more story in these two cutscenes than there was in the entire halo 5 campaign
TheDarkness2487 I felt more suspense during this cutscene than the entirety of Halo 5's story.
FUCKING right! Man you don't know how happy I am that this is the true opening, and not the Halo Wars 2 marketing, although It was awesome just like Halo 5's, remember guys, this is the REAL GAME, the first cutscene! This is only a fragment of what we have ahead and it looks beautiful!
WARTHOGVANGUARD It's the second cutscene but I get what you're saying.
I had just finished watching the first cutscene when I commented lol. but yeah, im like, an uber-halo nerd but jesus fucking christ was Halo 5's campaign a borefest.
TheDarkness2487 I actually liked halo 5 xD
"All you have is one old ship and half a crew"
"Ever had to slingshot a ship near a sun that's just about to go supernova just to make it out of a crumbling forerunner shield world while fighting the flood Isabel?"
wonder if cutter was going to run but then remembered he has no slip space drive 😂😂
That is how a captain give a damn hell speech to his men
even to encourage them on a dangerous mission
first time to see cutter give a great speech
unlike other captains who run their crew
Sione Laty HoT_DoG117 it's great to know this is the setup to the second mission so there may not be any long draw out building
HoTdOg117 #44 SKUXXKING I agree
I'm on the fence about Isabel. She seems.... I dunno, really tense. But I'm sure as long as she doesn't get involved in Cortana's AI bullshit or whatever somehow, I'll grow to like her more as a character.
Shes tense because of all the stuff she saw. She seems scared but trying to stay calm
Mr Squeakable it's possible that Jerome and Isabel r in a way a mirror to the chief and Cortana
Kingx Kai117 That would not be a huge surprise if they did mirror the Chief and Cortana. For now, we at least will hopefully get to see a new and long last story with this series.
The reason she was scared is because she is not a military AI. She is a logistics AI. Everything that went on with atriox is not what she was made for. If she was a military AI, she would've been a little more like cortana in the first 3 halo's; brave, have plans made out, and convince us that she wants to help fight
I miss Serina 😭
I have never seened so many elites ragdolled this much in all my time playing halo
*seen
EliteWarrior108 halo wars monsters cutscene
Halo 5 fucking entire first 5 mission cutscenes! Man and those sucked, here and in Halo Wars, they were justified!
Rob Tennant I'm not talking about them being killed at a constant rate I mean them being literally tossed around one handed with little effort. Halo wars 1 was different because they brought a spear to a gun fight.
WARTHOGVANGUARD I'm talking about raw physical strength not armor and technology.
Now this is good old Halo, not that trash like 4 and 5!
xSidinqPvP no it wasn't lol
Sołdat 4 had the best story though
Sołdat I wouldn't say halo 4 is trash.
wtf man??? I agree on halo 5 but halo 4 story was fucking amazing.
Hey, hey chill out lads it's my private opinion about game.
I wanted to stop watching but I couldn't! this made my whole week, it was finals week and I just found out my best friend is moving in week but this small clip here just made my day EPIC! This. Is. Halo.
LIGHTSABER! I see you everywhere man! You are hardcore Halo, and you are awesome! And dude! Don't you love this!? This cutscene packs more story than the entire fucking Halo 5 campaign! And were talking about Story Length AND immersion! This might just be the best Halo Campaign I have ever seen and I am on board man! FUEL THE HYPE TRAIN!
chris pearson thanks man
WARTHOGVANGUARD yea! this game is gonna be EPIC!
I'm seeing a lot potential for Halo Wars 2. Not a RTS type of guy, but I'm interested to see how HW2 story will go. Hopefully Halo 6 will take some notes from this.
343 take notes!... FROM YOURSELF! this is the 343 I remember, and 10x higher!
Average Halo Scrub if they combine the amazing multiplayer of 5,forge and the amazing story of 4, 6 will be awesome.
GAAAAAAH I can't watch this, I need to go in this campaign raw and with no expectations.
Reclaimer good attitude
Yeah but no! Dude! Watch it please! Its only the opening cutscene!
you ca watch the first 2 cut scenes, because the typically just set up the story, and don't give anything away.
Yeah. We need spirit of fire in future Halo games. Now.
Not the ship but it's heroes like Cutter
Reclaimer Expect classic, perfect Halo. Coming from somebody who LOOOOVED Halo 4, and enjoyed Halo 5 (despite its many many flaws), THIS is Halo and THIS is what we've been waiting for.
Seriously, I'm loving Atriox. The cutscene made me cheer for the Brutes to rip the elites apart.
They killed the elites way to easily though. I literally laughed when that first brute slinged the elite into the air. I don't like how 343 always portrays elites as such little pussies. Still though, I'm pumped as hell for the game.

3:23 AM and this speech is said. "OH-RAAH!!" at the top of my lungs.
One ship in a hostile filled Forerunner installation in the middle of nowhere with a MIA Spartan, one heavily wounded and only one Active, impossible odds and a war hero Captain that have done AWESOME and risky maneuvers that has a crew that would go through hell and back.
THIS!!
IS!!
HALO!!!
Holy shit! Those poor Sangheili!
Drakle Studios I wouldn't feel sorry them, not after what they did to humans.
God of Dinner Still, being smashed by a gravity hammer whilst prone, it is not a fun way to go out
Drakle Studios well they did send brutes on suicide missions
Harvin Dhillon
...... Noooooo..... that was the Prophets..... *Slowly slinks away*
From battling in the distance space against the Covenant to years of lost in space, Capt Cutter showed Isabel that just because the enemy is tough doesn't mean he or his crew run away. With the crew of The Spirit of Fire facing a dangerous mad brute, it is time to go to work with who he has. This is why Capt Cutter ain't backing down. He is always ready to do what needs to be done.
I stand with Cutter, it's hard to run without a slip space drive.
"No Isabel, we won't run away. Because I'm a badass ! And also because the slip space drive is gone..."
I doubt cutter can defeat me. The banished will crush him.
PLEASE! PLEASE! Can I hear the story about how you killed 3 Spartans again! please!
Warlord Atriox
lol Atriox isn't a warlord.
+WARTHOGVANGUARD It was too easy, the humans' best soldiers are nothing compared me. Those little demons are weak and insignificant.
+Warlord Atriox "Do not underestimate them."
Dr. Halsey
Warlord Atriox "that mac fires 4 times in a row fucking bullshit"
-brute chieftain player halo wars 1
Captain Cutter really knows how to do a fuckin' speech. Atriox has a fight on his hands.
Hope it doesn't get Deleted or something...
Man captain Cutter speech was so inspirational even a scared Ai is willing to fight again
Now that is the reason why I believe humanity will kick any crazy inhuman son of a bitch ass, that will stand between humanity and survival
Oooraaaah Marines
K Night Were gonna jump in our tanks role across the Ark and blow up any inhuman son of a bitch dumb enough to get between us and Humanity's Survival!
OH MAN OH MAN!!! TWO WORDS.... FUCKING AWESOME. HALO IS BACK BABY. I CAN FEEL IT!!!!
I like the armor the elite with the bloodblade is wearing
Omg how epic would it be to see arbiter and atroix battle in halo 6 at like the final showdown. Or Chief and arbiter fighting to take down atroix,that would be one hell of a fight.
If those brutes can kill elites so easily then not even Spartans stand a chance against him.
And they did in the first mission preview. Atriox defeated the three Spartans without breaking a sweat. Injured one just because he chose to do so. While leaving the others intact so his Banished can hunt them.
We see these same Spartans who obliterated that pack of elites in Halo Wars 1, and all 3 of them being taken out by one guy... who is this guy?
2:40 I want you to take a look at this real quick and imagine how it would've gone if anything was changed! Elites are stronger than Spartans, but they're not as Agile unless you're playing Halo Reach! These elites were caught off guard, and were given the beating!

You can truly appreciate they novelty of Halo once you appreciate the Power imbalance between the weak, frail Humans and these superbeings by human standards
*Insert comment bashing newer halo games*
And I thought the star wars community was bad.
Captain Rex Yeah
Captain Rex Here here!
Captain Rex but the new halo games are bad.
I am redzemper You obviously don't know what a bad game is. The newer halo games are not bad games they are far from bad games.
Seriously that downwards glance when she's asked about the Ark closing. She's lying! She knows exactly why that portal closed! :D
That fight scene, I actually shouted holy fuck in the middle of class!
I welled up a little watching this.
Why? Because the Halo a new is finally back. The Halo that I've loved and stuck by for a decade and a half is back. This gives me hope, and that is always worth fighting for.
as a halo fan, I never really cared for the brutes. but atriox changed my view in 10 seconds. what a cool villain.
I'm so fucking hyped.
better story than halo 5
Atriox: the badass brute that tells even Tartarus to hold his gravity hammer
Dam Captain Cutter knows how to bring the hype. Much better represented then his old self and of a man who won't loose or back down from a fight. He is the most awesome character to come out how halo since Reach.
Finally some good lore elements that I haven't seen like since Halo 2.
The Brutes fighting back is my fav part of a cutscene i've seen in years lol. I was upset when they stopped putting Brutes in Halo. I expected them to fight back though. The covenant treated them like crap.
5:05 to 5:11 damn right
I think I'm going to love this story because its more personal. A fight between two great leaders duking it out with their armies and strategy, rather then there being some doomsday weapon at the end. then again there still might be one lol.
"Where you see one old ship, i see home"
*this line made me cry, i dont know why*
All we need are the graphics and story of this, and the classic gameplay of 3/Reach for Halo to come back as an actual relavent name in the FPS scene of today!
And toss Halo 5's Destiny/COD rip-off gameplay back to where it was copied from, so the series can go back to being unique in an age of copycats....
A speech is one thing, surviving is another.
That's one hell of a cutscene, one hell of a speech. Damn love it
The day Fleet Admiral Hood and Captain Cutter reunite will be a moment to remember. After all, Admiral Hood was under the command of Cutter back in the day and served as his "XO"(Coordinater).
I loved Halo 4, it was my second favorite game, and I enjoyed Halo 5 despite its many flaws - but oh my god THIS is Halo. Cutter is literally about to become my favorite character - who used to be Thel - but this is a natural born leader, and he's fantastic. I LOVE this.
This look magnificent
Please don't change the marines to the new style, they look like they're playing laser tag!
only seen two missions in halo wars 2 and already its a better story, characters, and general game then the whole of halo 5 put together. hopefully this restores our faith in halo again, cause i would really hate if a beloved franchise like halo went down the tube becuase the creators wanted to be cheap and lazy with the story telling like they did in halo 5
This actually looks amazing, I'm glad to see some Classic Halo
This is going o revive Halos story!! 343 had this potential!! Omg rlly going to buy the game!!
Urdnot Wrex: hmm, they ain't so tough.
Cptn Cutter is one of my favorite Halo characters because of this speech
Spartan IIs activated. This entire crew is the generation of the original legends. I just wish Cpt. Cutter said he sees in the one old ship "hope", not "home".
I like see that Elite on Brute action. The hype is real!
Halo Wars 2 is awesome! :D. I can't wait to get it!
Hell yeah, this is the Halo that I like.
HOLY CHILLS man! Im glad they put that "single ship" and "went through hell" in Cutters speak. This is badass
Dang, that was actually a pretty good speech. I'd have to say 3rd out of my top 3 video game speeches.
Woah! Hell of an intro.
Thank you Kevin Grace!
As a Marine that got out the Corps a year ago I found myself instinctually saying RAH at the end of cutters speech
The art style looks so good!
I always preferred the elites over the brutes as my favorite halo species, but damn that cutscene really had me rooting for Atriox!
but if atriox is against the covenant and doesn't believe in the great journey, why do they fight the humans
He hates the Covenant because of what they made him and his clan do time after time over and over again. Sending just 40 brutes against enemy lines for the sole purpose of causing chaos and disorganization while all 40 still get slaughtered just so the elites can swoop in and catch human forces off guard. He Hates Humans because Humans Killed hundreds or even thousands of his clan. He does not see the enemy of his enemy as his friend. He sees it as him vs the world and the entire world vs him.
godofawesum223 makes sense
Captain Cutter: "So no Isabel, we won't be running anywhere today."
Isabel: "Sir, yes s-
Captain Cutter: "Especially since we no longer have a slipspace drive. Couldn't run even if we wanted to."
Isabel: -________-
looking good! I hope the new brute captain is the main villain in halo 6 with though's brutes and please don't kill him off right away.
From this one cutscenes alone, I am already up to speed with Atriox and his background/role. It gave me clarity. It set stuff up _properly_....unlike Halo 5.
I've been waiting to see the brutes fully realized for a long time.
Jesus christ I need this story right now...
I think his speech was directed on the Behalf of 343 industries
I'm not sure why, but I find Isabel really annoying.
She's good in my opinion. Didn't find her annoying
It's something about her face imo.
Tom-A062 Nah she's annoying.
It's her attitude, the way she looks at the spirit of fire and its crew. Her fear is completely justified the bad guy looks terrifying but that doesn't mean she can assume our heros are weak cowards.
That's my impression anyway
She looks a lot like Jodie from Beyond Two Worlds, anyone agree with me?
Now THIS IS HALO! YES! This is gonna be good. :)
those brutes are brutal, and from what i saw of the game, its gonna be a beautiful game. multiplayer is lacking from what i can tell with the betas but i only care about the campaign of games so im hyped
koolerpure
What? Multiplayer isn't lacking at all.
This is the level of inspirational speech they needed to have in halo 5.... none of that tanaka bullshit.
Captain Cutter, we're all with you!
Everyone! Guys this might be another example of the Elites getting killed, and might look like the disrespect that they were given in Halo 5's cutscenes, but believe me when I say this, These Brutes, Atriox! These are new enemies, this cutscene was not made to show what happened in real time, no it was a symbol that the Brutes have dominated. The elites not fighting back is because they were caught off guard, symbolism that the covenant never saw anything like an empire of their expendable, muscly, idiotic brutes, and the shock that they made was so powerful that it knocked them off their feet. This is NOT an example of 343 killing elites for no reason! No! This is a justification, a CONFIRMATION that Atriox has inspired an army, and that not even the entire covenant can contain, them dying so quickly both made sense in the cutscene, and symbolized the power and threat that Atriox serves as a villain, a villain that looks so awesome that just by this cutscene, I have dethroned the Didact in favour of him!
Goosebumps. Anyone else felt that? >
That one grey bearded brute who killed 3 elites...... MVP
Similar things have been said, but this 2.5 minute long speech held more weight than the entirety of Halo 5.
my friend said cutters speech made wanna fight multiple wars at once he right it an awsome speech.
I'm just gonna say Decimus is a bad ass. Killing 3 elites like it's nothing
after watching cutter's speech my floppy disk turned into a hard disk
The brute that picked up the final elites is decimus, one of the leaders in the game...
And that's how it started, an argument over a car and a airplane arm rest
Omg love elite death sence
You fall back to trade your handgun for a tank. Also, someone get the Arbiter over here pronto.
Love the marine way that is back in halo now
rise up and claim your victory
Brutes
Halo wars was such a great story and this one looks great too, I wish they would but something like this in a fps game, I'd love to fight a war clan of brutes and elites, develop hand to hand combat and this would be an amazing game
I'm pretty annoyed they just glossed over the fact they have awoken 30 years in the future. No one stopped to ask what the ark is, why it's there, how we won the war, why there are UNSC on the ark, why Isabel didn't join cortana, why cortana isn't even mentioned, or the fact the galaxy is now at war with the machines. Just here's a new bad guy, go get em
Carlos Spicy Weiner it's weird because of you watch the trailer you can hear she talking about the ark, maybe she tell them later on.
Still, it is very awkward narrative pacing. When she got plugged into the console she should have started to tell them about the war. Just a little briefing "they aren't covenant, The covenant lost the war 4 years ago at the battle of earth, they are far worse" just a little line which lets the audience know the crew are still readjusting to the new world.
remember they are outside of the galaxy. so Isabel kept herself safe when she was stranded on the ark and waited for someone to answer the distress signal. People have asked that question before and some people have came to the conclusion that Cortana cant reach that far or is yet unable to get there since the ark is outside the galaxy.
literally no communication and this happens like directly after the events of halo 5 and the unsc was cut off 5 months from the rest of the galaxy before the Spirit of fire arrived so she probably doesnt know what is happening and didnt get the message.
You need to understand the context, they just had a first contact with this enemy and they knew Human, at least, is wining the war. Atriox is now the pressing matter and they knew they have to face them alone. And as Cutter said in Halo Wars 1: "One problem at a time".
Best. Halo speech. *EVER.*
4:10 - 5:23
The most "Fuck YEA!" speech EVER!
Sounds like a speech from Dank ahhhhhhhhhh Wits himself.
The Spartans look so fucking good
Alright halo wars 2 this is a good tease now let's see what u got on release cannot wait
This ain't no tease fool... this is only the beginning.
This looks incredible... I can't believe it a good halo game!
Oh, man. Oh, man. This is what Halo should be like.
Old school Halo is back!
Hopefully they don't screw the franchise up again with Halo 6
Atriox is by far my favorite character in the Halo franchise so far. Where others of his kind were ruled by blind faith. He had enough of that religious shit and struck out on his own to become the big brute in the bar.
