Halo (series)/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 55:

* The closing lines just before the game's credits sequence:

{{quote| '''Ship Commander:''' Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?<br />

'''Master Chief:''' Sir...[[Pre Ass Kicking One Liner|finishing this fight]]. }}

'''Master Chief:''' Sir...[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|finishing this fight]]. }}

* Used both ingame and in the tech demo showed at a pre-release showing of the game, the awed statement of a pinned down Marine upon seeing who had come to back him up.

{{quote| '''When I asked for reinforcements... I didn't think they'd send a Spartan.'''}}

Line 131:

== Halo: Reach ==

* ''Reach'' has {{spoiler|Jorge's and Emile's [[Dying Moment of Awesome|Dying Moments of Awesome]] - manually detonating a slipspace bomb that annihilates a Covenant Supercarrier, and killing an Elite right after it impaled him, respectively, and Noble Six using a mass driver to one-shot a Covenant Battlecruiser}}.

** Actually, given {{spoiler|Carter's kamikaze Pelican run into a Scarab and Noble Six's final moments against all those Elites, EVERY member of Noble Team has a [[Dying Moment of Awesome]] - except [[Killed Mid Sentence|Kat]] and Jun.}}

*** [[Word of God|Bungie says]] {{spoiler|Jun's still alive}}.

* Another one, but this time with a random Marine: at the beginning of ''Long Night Of Solace'' (the space level) when you get in the base you see a dead Ultra Elite with an energy sword. An Army Trooper kicks the body, and it's implied ''he'' killed it.

Line 141:

** There's also the fact that [[Fearless Fool|Jackals literally do not feel fear]], so it didn't really take the same amount of nerve to make the shot, just opportunity. Still impressive, though.

* Emile: {{spoiler|1=At the end, when he yells defiantly at any Covenant attackers, then gets stabbed in the back by an Elite with an Energy Sword - this doesn't stop him, as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmqyfQv3EXc he angrily turns around] and ''[[Taking You With Me|stabs the Elite back in the neck]]''.}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Emile''': [[Famous Last Words|"I'm ready!]] [[Pre Mortem One Liner|How about you!?"]]}}}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Emile''': [[Famous Last Words|"I'm ready!]] [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|How about you!?"]]}}}}

* The beginning of ''Tip of the Spear''. You are probably embarking on one of the ''largest'' UNSC offensives in the games! AND IT IS AWESOME, especially when a pair of ships come in after you destroy an anti-air turret and start shooting down at the larger battle below you.

* If you mount a Wraith without grenades, how do you kill it? PUNCH IT. AND IT WORKS.

Line 164:

* Travelling back to the early days of Halo, how has no-one remembered the famous Keyes Loop of ''Fall of Reach''? A puny UNSC Destroyer (485m) manages to, with one of the most brilliant, most balls-out ship maneuvers in the entire series, take down ''three'' Covenant ships (two frigates - 1000m - and a destroyer - 1500m) and scare a fourth (a light carrier - 1455m) into escaping. This is the move that got Jacob Keyes promoted to Captain and single-handedly boosted the morale of the entire local UNSC force.

* Halo Evolutions probably wins points for the most audacious moment towards the end. Admiral Cole goes to his (possible) [[Not Quite Dead|not-quite death]] by luring a 200+ Covenant Fleet in close and then {{spoiler|igniting a brown dwarf by [[Deus Ex Nukina|nuking it repeatedly.]]}}

** Or even earlier when Cole was still a minor officer, the fleet he was with had been ruined via [[Deus Ex Nukina|nuke]] and sent out a message to the insurgent Corvette to [[I Surrender Suckers|surrender his Destroyer]](since the blast had killed everyone else on the bridge), right as they got in close he pulled the Destroyer away, breaking their air locks and opened up the side missile ports aimed right at them and ordering the INSURGENTS to surrender, pulling off a metaphorical [[Dramatic Gun Cock|dramatic gun cock]] in the process. Bonus points for having forward thinking not seen since [[Ender's Game|Ender]]

* ''Fall of Reach''. The ''Cradle''. When it {{spoiler|blocks Covenant plasma salvos from hitting the UNSC battlegroup. And they don't launch any escape pods. The entire UNSC force there is stunned, then they really go to town on the Covenant.}}

** To clarify, the ''Cradle'' is a ''drydock''.
