Thanks Peelo

Looks worse than Halo 4's prologue and epilogue.

Good joke
Those cutscenes are fantastic.

Honestly, that cutscene was kind of shitty. Spartans are super soldiers, but they're not magical  superheroes that can gayly skip down a sheer mountainside tearing dozens of enemies apart.

Yeah, they're supersoldiers that are very agile and can pull off incredible feats. This is pretty established in the canon.
This cutscene reflects Spartans capabilities.

It looks like Jul's forces are fighting another faction, but who or what? I didn't see any UNSC ships in orbit and it can't be the Prometheans. Unless Kamchata has some for automated defenses.

Frankie said Osiris also have air support. That's why there's a bunch of ships crashing.

Thanks Peelo

That is amazing

I'm sorry, but OH MY LORD THE RUNNING


its so awful

I really hope Palmer dies as a side note.

Wait, make that Palmer and Karen Travisties self insert super secret Mary-sue ONI leader spartan.

Funny thing is I said the same thing on Archive and some Girl Gamer™ had a itch fit about it and how Ms Eggheads was her Feminist® waifu or some shit (Keep in mind this was in a thread about death predictions in Halo 5)

The Prometheans aren't necessarily with the Covenant all the time

Something tells me shit is going to go down in the Absolute Record story arc of Escalation

Something tells me they pissed off Offensive Bias in escalation and he's sick of humanity's shit and going Ben Garrison on everyone.

halo is shit

I knew it

Michelle Lukes is Kelly.

I didn't look up anything on the VAs
I just heard a British accent and was like wait...

Disregarding that he's comparing two vastly different SPARTAN classes, of course.

Even then, the S-IIs are capable of pulling off pretty amazing stunts.

Like seriously. Bungie's portrayal is so disconnected from the canon that S-IIs in their games and S-IIs in the books are basically different things.
Like John barely outrunning the plasma beam at the end of 'Regret' in Halo 2. So stupid.

I think Halo Wars has the most accurate portrayal in the Mobsters cutscene. And that's pretty similar to what we're getting here.

Still my favourite cutscene out of all the games.

never forget


man 2013 343i was fucking terrible

never forget


man 2013 343i was fucking terrible

Fucking context asshat

I love how people intentionaly misinterpret that statement for all theirr bullshit Thriffurthrree R ghey arguments.

It's clearly just a showing that they want to get more people interested in the series.

Not saying 343 never fucked up, in fact thet did big time  (FUNKING PLASMA PISTOLS) but being overly cynical Anita Sarkeesian level dishonest asshats doesnt help anything

dragon eat a snickers

Also the "hurr superheroes now" comments don't make sense.
Spartans literally are superheroes, and always have been. Just because they aren't Marvel or DC doesn't change anything.

They're supersoldiers. Supersoldier and Superhero aren't mutually exclusive terms.

Nobody even blinks when Captain America fights toe to to against some reality bending demigod bullshit with nothing bur a fucking Frisbee made of shit that doesn't even exist.

But Lord God forbid any super-soldier from 500 years in the future with super-high tech armor and equipment are so much as portrayed as doing anything remotely incredible...that shit is blasphemy.

I r excite for Halo Wars 2

And complaining about how easily they gunned past Covenant and Forerunner forces is bogus too.

Humanity was always up against insurmountable odds during the war, which is why they were constantly getting shredded by the Covies.
They hade significantly inferior tech, weaponry, and fewer numbers, against alien species that were significantly better fighters in every way equipped with tech that made humanity's tech look like WW1 tech by comparison.

In this cinematic, the Spartans have the upper hand. They have the element of surprise, air support, and vastly improved tech compared to what they had during the war.
They're also fighting Jul's ragtag remnant faction of rejects and losers, who have nothing on the War-era Covenant.

I mean, they had the slope too....

They were running down, so they gon b fast

Personally, I would have just slid down on my belly screaming "WEEEEEE!" over the comm. But that's just me.

You know, I still don't get why that spartan pushes Rippa's corpse over the ledge near the end of that custscene

I mean they were going to nuke the place anyway, what does pushing him off into an endless void even acomplish? Was he seriously just dicking arround?

I like the fact they put her shield taking damage in there too.

Also, didn't notice that elite either. Lol get fucked.

You know, I still don't get why that spartan pushes Pippa's corpse over the ledge near the end of that custscene

He was trash, in the way.

No idea, probably just making sure he didn't somehow get up?
