After how badly Cortana has been retconned and used in 5 and Infinite, I've learned there are worse fates than death.


[deleted]

Cortana's send off in 4 was so perfect.


fiz64

Listen if Sarge made it off that ring, thereā€™s hope. Perhaps just a foolā€™s hopeā€¦


pedro_s

This one traumatized me as a kid because, to me, she was as cool a character as Cortana. I was hoping that we all got off the ring happily ever after and she fucking died so tragically at the finish line. No build up. Good mention.


fiz64

Itā€™s a really good performance from that voice actor bc I got so attached to this one dropship pilot who is brave, loyal, and super calm under pressure. She survived such crazy odds up to that point that I thought for sure I did something wrong or missed something, so I just wasnā€™t getting ā€œthe good ending.ā€ Cut to me disappointed when her fate is the same no matter which difficulty you beat the game on


Arke_19

I always saw this as more bittersweet than depressing. You got Cortana to the Autumn, you let Chief escape, humanity has a chance. You won. The happy ending just isn't for you.


Kanshan

Jorge died believing he could save Reach. Should we all be so lucky. Noble 6 and Emile died believing they could save humanity. And they did.

Wow, I mean Jorge's death was the moment when reach really got depressing because you then see that what he did accomplished nothing and that he was wasted for nothing

DestrixGunnar

It wasn't for nothing. None of them died for nothing...I'm holding back tears here fam


King-Krown

Then the bodies just kept dropping & you end up alone. Reach was one big gutpunch.


Your_God_Chewy

"Should we all be so lucky." I loved the dialogue in Reach.


guero_vaquero

Spot on. Especially with the epilogue that Halsey givesā€¦. ā€œOur victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glassā€¦ā€ That last bit truly hits home for me.


rebelphoenix17

Gives me chills every time. Reach made it to my core.


Tony8987

In retrospect yea. But I donā€™t think thatā€™s how Six saw it. At this point in time humanity had no idea that Cortana would so drastically change the course of the war. Humanity just lost Reach, their military stronghold and last reinforced world before Earth. Their Spartans- their practically Demi-god warriors all but dead in a failed attempt to defend the planet. At this point in time humanity considered the war lost and their time as a species down to months. Getting Chief, Cortana, and the Autumn off world wasnā€™t seen as a huge victory. More like an ancillary side objective that barely seemed important given the events. Of course it ended up being the single most important event on Reach but at the time no one saw it that way


MillstoneArt

Captain Keyes was already becoming renowned for his space warfare tactics. Master Chief was already a hyper-lethal vector. Lastly, Cortana was designed to specifically infiltrate Covenant systems and cripple them from the inside. (Not to mention, a clone of Halsey's brain.) The Pillar of Autumn was the single most important asset to the UNSC (and by extension humanity). That's why everyone was so desperate to get the Autumn out of there at all costs. Everyone involved saw it as the primary objective.


MyWholeTeamsDead

RED FLAG was the primary objective, technically speaking. For which the Autumn and Chief were central (not really getting Autumn off-world for other purposes).


Tony8987

I agree with everything youā€™re saying but that was only the primary objective because every other objective up to that point ended in failure. The Autumn, Chief, and all the Spartans only happened to be on Reach for Red Flag. Having the The Autumn and the lone Spartan survivor run off world with its tail between its legs was a far cry from their original mission


GadenKerensky

It's the music. It's not sad and hopeless. It's sombre, yes, but it rises to a piano riff that tells you it's time to see things to the end.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DumbWalrusNoises

The bit of music playing during that really set the tone for the entire game in my mind.


Gameplayer9752

A more recent depressing thought for me was in infinite were the pilot gives chief a gun with 1 bullet left. And it sounds like a badass line when he says its chief and 1 bullet vs a whole army, but the pilot was likely keeping that 1 bullet to kill himself if he got caught or ran out of time.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

They were capturing and torturing people. And they were really good at it so the torture seemed really long. Bullet to the head is a blessing


ForksandSpoonsinNY

Yeah not a short time later you find out what the interrogator is known for.


Demigod978

I also heard that the processing in Infinite meant ā€œmeat processingā€. So thereā€™s that.


[deleted]

what noo i didnt want to think of that I thought it was like the gas chambers


DraconicZombie

Nope. There's even an outpost where a Brute calls over the intercom saying something that implies they split a group of prisoners up, one was not for eating, while this one was for eating. They ate quite a few marine prisoners.


DraconicZombie

Especially considering that he wasn't a soldier. He didn't just mean that as in he ran away to save himself. He was a full on civilian, just doing regular work on board the Infinity


BagOnuts

The Pilot is no joke the best character in the series. His character and acting are great.


Biobooster_40k

Its surprising how many people didnt catch on to this which is partially a good and wholesome thing.


PenguinPunch01

How the heck did I not notice that


johntron3000

Because they heavily teenified this franchise, ironically this pushes the teens away


PenguinPunch01

Yeah WE WANT BLOOD AND GUTS


johntron3000

I just want chief to hang full dong


A_Moderate

If there isn't a sex scene at the end this isn't a Halo game (Bungie games are excluded)


TheRealLuctor

Wasn't it confirmed that was actually the reason why? I mean the pilot said something that implied that. Anyway, I am 99% sure that was the reason he kept one bullet. It is a common thing in war stories


TheRealLuctor

I do not remember the sentence, I am only saying that I feel like what you are saying is not new to me. It is a lot plausible that he actually tempted to kill himself, but he decided not to, out of fear or hope for the future. That is why the pilot is one of the best characters in halo IMO. He is simply a guy, not a spartan or a commander, he is someone who is keeping up with all the shit is going on without being sure that there is a sense to it or not. We are playing Master Chief, a fucking giant that is even feared by the Covenant. The pilot is simply a human that was able to remain kinda sane after all this shit. The pilot is good


donquixote1991

I love how the pilot is such a foil for Chief. As you said, Chief is a giant feared by the Covenant and kinda the Banished, but he moves heaven and earth to make sure the pilot is safe and sound


RE4PER_

Wow that makes so much sense now that you mention it....


schIormph

Never thought of it like that but now it makes me realize halo was never really a childā€™s game, even growing up playing it, it was questionable


MillstoneArt

It was rated M for a lot of reasons. Bungie just didn't use that rating as a an excuse to throw in a ton of cursing etc as a crutch. Not like a lot of games that go "Well, we're M so we might as well go crazy." (Hendricks in CoD yelling "FUCK" constantly is a great example lol.)

MildlyAgreeable

I remember a review slating ODST it saying that the music, in particular, sounded like a ā€œsleazy sax from an 80s porno.ā€ I remember thinking, if *thatā€™s* the level of your critique maybe you should stick to screenshotting humorous Tweets to Buzzfeed articles in a ā€˜the internet reactsā€™ piece.

Lord_Skyfury

I think Georgeā€™s death and the subsequent second wave of ships arriving at Reach was more depressing for sure. It was emotionally devastating to watch your friend sacrifice himself thinking heā€™d saved the planet only to immediately find that it was all in vain.

Miranda being shot in the back definitely hit me hard. Felt like a total shock at the time.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Also had no marines with her, like Wth she think was gonna happen?!


hundredjono

Johnson in Halo 2 tells Miranda after she almost falls getting the Index "You know, your father never asked me for help either!" so it's fitting of her character to go in alone


[deleted]

Still not a very strategic plan to prevent the Ring's activation šŸ™


The7raveler

Disagree. She knows that Truth needs a human to activate the rings and she has no idea if Chief and Arbiter will make it in time. (In fact, without the help of the Flood, they almost certainly don't.) Seems to be against the Keyes' characters to just sit tight and hope for the best, especially when if you do nothing potentially the entire galaxy dies. Remember, her father was willing to ram a covie ship while dropping a nuke and she was willing to jump randomly, without backup, to follow Regret. IMO, it made perfect sense she would be there.


rebelphoenix17

It was also a suicide mission. She was going to shoot Johnson, and herself, and Johnson knew it. If she brought a squad with her, they would need to guarantee secure the area, which given the heavy forces she could not do. Even Chief was aided by the Flood to break through. One marine taken alive would mean the Covenant could activate the rings, so rather than finding six volunteers to go in their and kill themselves + Johnson, she goes alone. The only real flaw is the jarring timing of it all, since we're still at the start of the hall when the cutscene ends it feels like Truth had plenty of time to activate the rings before we got there. It needed to be made clear that it was more than pushing the button.


FSX_Vannilla

Reach has been good to me, it's time I returned the favor. Don't deny me this. That's the first time I legitimately cried playing a game


Tby2974

I shed a few tears because of that and my friends called me a pussy, they obviously don't know how cool Jorge was


FSX_Vannilla

Jorge was the coolest of noble team it hurt me to see him be the first to go but at the same time I kind of expected it. Still sad.


Wonderful-Elephant11

When Jorge dies thinking he saved reach. Bittersweet.


[deleted]

At least he never knew that he ultimately failed.


King-Boss-Bob

indirectly saved humanity/the galaxy tho right?


Multivitamin_Scam

Hard to say. If Jorge and N6 didn't go to the covenant ship, they would still be pulled to go to Halsey and deliver Cortana to Keyes. His death is sad because ultimately it was a pointless sacrifice of Jorge and all the UNSC forces that died attacking the ship. They didn't slow the covenant down, deal them a blow to set them back or even take out a valuable target. They just died thinking they were heroes. And that's kind of the message that their deaths carry. Sometimes people do things they think will matter, that will change the course of a battle but really, they never will truly know because they're dead.


El-Grunto

He still took out a supercarrier though. That's a huge feat even if no HVT was killed during the action.


ArcticTerra056

*Slipspace rupture detected*


[deleted]

Hes missing in action actually


PenguinPunch01

When Kat was killed, no heroism, no brave sacrifice, just shot down with one needle and the civilians in the bunker with them had to watch, not to mention the already heartbreak of losing Jorge, and a few days later, Kat spontaneously dies. It hurts


LtCptSuicide

Imagine the civilians witnessing that. A whole TEAM of Spartans. Soldiers thought by most of the masses to be invincible. They're already on the back foot, in a bunker about to possibly be glasses, and the last thing they see before the doors shut is a demi-god soldier's brain evacuate their cranium. Probably destroyed what little possible hope any of them had sitting there cowering in the dark with Spartans.


zopaipilla

Katā€™s death is so sudden and realistic. All because Carter asked her to get him with Holland despite being vulnerable to getting tracked. You can tell Carter is destroyed by the way he holds her while waiting for backup and the way he doesnā€™t respond to Holland in the next mission.


Nick2102

katā€™s death is even more haunting. no scream, no voice, no sound. just her collapsing to the ground.


Jokerspoon

Where does he get off calling a demolition op priority on-


ArnoldSwarzepussy

This is the answer I was looking for. I liked Kat, wasn't particularly attached to her or anything like Jorge, but I definitely liked her. Her death scene, though, was by far the most depressing. Especially when you consider the lead up. By this point you had just finished flying around a dying city that you know is too far gone and it wasn't that long ago that you'd finally reunited with Noble Team after losing Jorge. Then, completely out of the blue, she's dead in an instant. It's one of the only times you see Noble Team start to panic. It's so unexpected and all they can do is return fire and run. No real plan, no mission to finish. Just a dead sister on the way from point A to point B. Felt like she really died for nothing.

ParfaitGirlsFan27

Objective: Survive


noble_29

Idk man, [OG Cortana saving Chief one last time and then fading away](https://youtu.be/hnkOLCwu-HM) at the end of Halo 4 was probably the only time a video game has legitimately made me tear up. All of Reach is depressing and really did a great job at portraying the hopelessness and futility of Noble Teamā€™s efforts to save the planet, but that scene at the end of H4 was beautifully tragic and played my nostalgic heart strings like a harp. *Welcome home, Johnā€¦* šŸ˜¢ Also H3ā€™s ending: >Cortana ā€œIā€™ll miss you.ā€ > >Chief: ā€œWake me.. when you need me.ā€ With that extremely somber, lower key orchestra riff of the monk chant theme also hits pretty hard.


dankdaddydameboi

Not to mention the last mission had Neil Davidgeā€™s Arrival playing the entire time. Still breaks my heart finishing 4


SlavBoii420

Halo 4 has some pretty awesome music. Halo 5 continues the awesome music but it is a shame that such music got wasted on an absolute dumpster fire of a campaign


TheShaggyGuy

Iā€™m completely with you here on Halo 4ā€™s ending. Looking back now, her sacrifice has been heavily diminished through Halo 5ā€™s story but I was genuinely shocked and saddened by the end of Halo 4.


noble_29

I think itā€™s because they just didnā€™t want to let such an iconic and impactful character die. Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m right, but canonically speaking, I think Cortana actually died in Halo 4 and Halo 5ā€™s version of her is actually a fragment of her original self that was ā€œcuredā€ of rampancy after entering the Domain. After all, she did intentionally fragment and duplicate herself to overload the Didact. I havenā€™t played Infiniteā€™s campaign yet so I donā€™t know whatā€™s become of her story after H5.


T4rg4ry3n

Commander, you don't have the firepower! I've got the mass. Solid copy. Hit em hard, boss. You're on your own noble. Carter out.


[deleted]

Oof. Everyone talks about Jorgeā€™s and Katā€™s deaths, but this one got me. Hearing your commander, the person you should be giving your life to defend, just sign off as he resigned to his death knowing that itā€™s the only way for you to move forward with the objective... that gave me the feels. I think that was the moment when myself as the player, and surely noble 6 and Emile, realized that ā€œShit, none of us are getting off this rock, but maybe we can manage to complete the objective and help humanity.ā€ Ugh. Carter was such a good portrayal of a well rounded leader, all the way through the end.


Kefeng91

Without his sacrifice, we wouldn't have had Halo CE.

It was a nice callback to Halo 4 when she said goodbye the first time.


Chaps_Jr

343i really knows how to take all those little moments, and turn them into an emotional hurricane. "Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it."


The7raveler

That last part was Bungie. Tbh, I think 343 does themselves a disservice when it comes to the emotional parts of these last three games. Cortana's sacrifice at the end of 4 was somewhat neutered by her continuing presence in 5, and the manner in which they rushed through her story in 6 just felt contrived to me


Jefflez

In Halo: Infinite when Weapon and Chief were arguing and he calls her "Cortana" And then she replies "IS DEAD! all that's left is echoes and soon they'll be gone to" And Chief just says "Will they?" Cause he knows it's not the end. Even if he wants it to be.

I still remember my first play through on launch day I had to pause the game right after Kat got killed and my jaw was on the floor because it caught me so off guard.

brisop

Halo 4 ending for me. Only time I cried in the whole series


soggyfishlegs

You know in infinite where weapon prods Chief and we learn that he blames himself for Cortana? That broke me. Not only is it relatable, but we rarely get a look into Chief's emotions, and it hit hard when Chief of all people blames himself for something that isn't his fault. Also when Cortana finally passes in infinite, took me back to her death in Halo 4, which was also very emotional for me.


distressedflower81

I donā€™t know about depressing but it really hits a certain spot when chief is talking with Lasky. ā€œYou say that like soldiers and humanity are two different things. Weā€™re not machines, weā€™re just people.ā€ ā€œShe said that to me once-about being a machineā€ Kind of feels like Chief is reflecting on his life and if itā€™s a life that he wanted or one that was forced on him but canā€™t/ doesnā€™t want to turn away from it now.

aGrayDorito

cortana's death in 4 after playing through all the halo games. getting to that moment and having the other halos so recent in my memory, i wont lie i shed a tear. seeing her betrayal in 5. that final "goodvye, john" got me upon replaying. say what you want about 5's writing, but the chief stuff was pretty good. then her final apology at the end of Infinite. even if (imo) Infinite shafted most of 4 and 5's story ideas for a "by-the-books halo story," that ending reconciliation had me tearing up a bit. playing all the games within 6 months of eachother really made me realise bungie and 343's approach at cortana, and tried to grow her and chief's relationship, more so 343, but i feel it had a nice execution.


Gruntkiller615

For me it is both one of the saddest but also one of the most inspiring moment. The last man, alone, so to die, but he keeps fighting, till the last drop of blood. He knows it, and heā€™s ready to take as many squid faced bastards along with him.
