    I wonder what those zealots that encountered noble team were thinking. Encountering a spartan on the field is a very rare occasion for any body including covenant spec ops troops who frequently get high priority missions like the spartans do. So I bet this was their first encounter and obviously their last. What I wonder is what they thought. Did the zealot who tried to stab noble 6 feel surprised when he realized the human was physically capable of stopping the thrust. Or were the two flambasted by their would be thought of cowardice when they failed to kill the spartan team and used the smaller human as a shield for safety and even ran away? We never really got a lot the xenos' perspective on encountering a spartan. The one scene that comes to mind is when a 3rd gen spartan ambushes an elite who restrains it. then the spartan including a linked odst team imprisons the elite.

      3 zealots ambush Noble team, they believe they accomplished their goal of destroying the terminal so they couldn't use it, they attempt to kill some of the members but fail due to the spartan's teamwork, so they back up, used a hostage because they knew noble team would hesitate, they back up into darkness likely killing the hostage, Noble 6 and 5 nuetralise 2 of the elites guarding the generator they power the station back up and continue, in Tip of the spear you encounter and p(otentially) kill the 3rd zealot
      They didn't likely feel ashamed of using a hostage and "running" they recognised that they no longer had the element of surprised, their ppriority was to destroy the terminal, they regrouped and fell back to a pitch black room and set up another ambush (as we see after Noble 5 throws a flare and all the jackals, grunts and one of the zealots comes out of hiding and start firing upon you both), their mission wasn't to kill noble team, it was to ensure that the station stayed out of order

    I gained a pretty healthy respect for the Honor Guard when my best friend and I endeavored to play through all three of the classic games on legendary. Obviously, Halo 2 was the hardest (damn the jackal snipers to hell), but the two parts that stood out the most was both of the boss fights (Tartarus and Regret). With Regret, it seemed as though that whole room was constantly filling with honor guards. It took us four hours to kill the prophet. Four damn hours. Dark Souls and Bloodborne never tested my sanity as much as Halo 2 did on that night. You know that kind of crazy where you just laugh at what would normally piss you off because you just don't have the anger or sanity left in you? Both me and my friend reached that point by the end of that ordeal.
    I did get pretty handy with an energy sword in that amount of time though, so at least there's that.

    When I would play halo reach on the Xbox360 with my older brother, he'd also be a Zealot. Not to mention he made the classes, waves, and everything in that round, so when he would charge at me with the Zealot, Energy Sword, and an Armor Lock, i would be scared for my life.
    Edit: Seriously, when you have an elite charging at you with an energy sword, it's the scariest thing.
    (To make matters worse, I was around 10-11 at the times I played and terrible at the game. I knew no tactics, nothing, lol. So I could pretty much call myself dead when my older bro came into view)

    • @MUJUNKY
      @MUJUNKY 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've responded to you before, but really man, the replicators nearly wiped out the asgard entirely, and they were far more advanced than any star wars faction save the celestials, and even then I think the celestials would have been outmatched. the only weapon the SW Universe would have against them is the force. their adaptation rate to new technology is nearly Borg-tier, and regenerative abilities surpassing the flood.

    • @clayhawk1440

      MUJUNKY what do you think about replicators vs forerunners

    • @MUJUNKY
      @MUJUNKY 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      oooo, that would be a good match up. I think I would give the forerunners the advantage in that fight, but it would still be close. It would be a similar fight to the flood, with containment being the biggest issue, however, the Asgard are not at a forerunner level of tech, and still fought for thousands of years against the replicators. The replicators, obviously have numerical advantage, but the AI of forerunners also gives a massive advantage to fleet command and numerical requirements of fore runner ships. the UNSC has AI that can nearly completely control a ship, so forerunner AI could feasibly command entire fleets where as the replicators literally build their ships out of themselves. forerunner victory 7/10? maybe 8/10

    • @clayhawk1440
      @clayhawk1440 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      MUJUNKY I agree but it also depends on what era of forerunner power we'd be using cause post human war might be more like 5 or 6 out of ten as the humans inflicted heavy losses on the forerunners then even further weakened by the flood but never the less a more fair comparison than star wars

    • @MUJUNKY
      @MUJUNKY 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      true, I always forget that part with the Human-Forerunner Lore (I stopped playing Halo after 4) and oh yeah, way more of a fair fight than against SW... Now I'm not sure if you are into WH40k, but Replicators Vs Necrons? that would be insane

    @douglasparkinson4123 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    ok but lights of sanghelios was a lore retcon to hide an accidental bug in halo 2 that was created because of an issue with the games code trying to spawn in an elite with Voice Actor A's voice lines, but because for some reason Elite Voice Actor A just wasn't in that level's code, much like Grunt Voice Actor A isn't in the code of cairo station, the game spawned in an elite with all possible atributes from Elite Voice Actor B. the 2 atributes that took priority were honor guard decorations and ultra armor plating.

  • @Onyx-Tau

      Well no... the rank of Arbiter isn't actually a proper "rank" in the Covenant. It's a high honor, generally given during times of crisis. Yes, Xytan was the highest rank in the Covenant, but that wouldn't make him an Arbiter.

    • @enochmenor5671

    • @goldenhedgehog9
      @goldenhedgehog9 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Lachlan Robertson When you have someone on your team who was a high ranking officer's personal hit man, could take out entire enemy bases without setting off alarms, and had to have about 80% of his file blacked out EVEN for the other super soldiers, Delta's tech advantage isn't going to mean much.
      I LOVE Delta, but Noble Team would just destroy them. Between Jun keeping them from peaking out, and Jorge giving covering fire, Kat, Carter, Emile, and 6 will easily be able to advance and Jorge can advance while laying down covering fire. Once Noble 1, 2, 4, and 6 get close, Delta is done. In all honesty, 6 could probably do it on his own if he was sent in to eliminate them, as he would have ONI's arsenal at his disposal so he could just hit them with a rail gun or Splaser from hiding, and suddenly the odds begin to drastically sway in his favor since Delta was always trained as a team, and losing a single member severally cripples the team none of the other members would be anywhere near as good as the one who died, if they would even be able to do it at all.

Before one of the Arbiters tried to declare the Great Journey as a lie causing the Prophets completely transform the title of Arbiters, Ancient Sangheili who held the title were self installed kings that used their melee skills to gain leadership.
