It's Hayabusa Armor, it's a reference to Ninja Gaiden's main character, Ryu Hayabusa. The Katana version is just an accessory, you can't actually wield it.

Here was my personal tier list; though I may have had thoughts and mostly judging how fun the campaigns are rather than side stuff or multiplayers.
It's possible I changed my mind in some areas for some, but willing to takes for each.
I know people say CE should be top 3 minimum, but didn't really stick with me as much as it did others. But it was probably the most Jack of All Trades game in the series. I also happened to like Infinite's campaign; mainly because of grappling hook and boss fights. And they finally gave John a short lived redemption after the Post Halo 4 era basically dumping on his character. Halo Wars 2 I also actually liked its story mainly because of Atriox; and it was finally made for the right platform and tried to balance the civilizations more; in Halo Wars 1, UNSC was just too good for Covenant or Flood based on design choices. ODST and Wars 1 had surprisingly underrated characterization. But too bad ODST was too short and easy and Wars was made for the wrong platform; big RTS games were not meant to be on any platform other than Desktops.
And yeah, if only Bethesda (The DOOM team specifically) developed the main shooters and that the Wars series has the OG StarCraft team. Latter definitely will not happen given the Activision Blizzard Controversy.

Tbf, the fact UNSC persists for nearly 3 decades plus it wasn’t just the elites.
Hell, we have Hunters as well.
If it wasn’t for the Covenant Civil War, it is very likely Humanity goes to extinct and loses outright

Halo 2 been like “Oh hey, btw Arbiter shouldn’t have killed the Heretics”, but oh well. It will been a interesting “What if” timeline where the Arbiter actually was convinced by the Heretic’s leader words

Interesting, I've never seen anyone place Infinite above CE. I will say that Infinite was carried by its gameplay IMO.Here was my personal tier list; though I may have had thoughts and mostly judging how fun the campaigns are rather than side stuff or multiplayers.

Of course the whole "10 year plan" from 343I was a lie. Infinite's issues are what happen when you have contractors build a game engine.
There is, and it is much much worse than you think. In fact it was cancelled relatively recently.

Red vs Blue has… fallen off from the original seasons as I personally dislike how it drags to 10 or more seasons.
It got some darker tones in later seasons, but personally I do think it should ended after 5 or 6 seasons imo

This is way I think video games adaptations should come in the form of animated series/cartoons
Or web series I guess (RVB though it’s a parody but still), live action is just difficult.
- 23,681
- 14,217
can we say it’s a halo animated series sort of?

I personally disagree since Seasons 6 to 13 are amazingly written.

That whole fight could've been avoided if Sesa just let Guilty Spark keep talking to Thel instead of trying to gun him down.
- 4,442

I feel like this is subjective as it kinda hits the point “Best to let sleeping dogs lie” as it starts out as a comedy and then proceeded to get some more serious tones. Although it probably was mixed between serious and funny tones in later seasons.
- 4,442
- 1,508
Or you know, let 343 Guilty Spark talk to Thel beforehand as well.

Hmm, I do think after Season 13 is where things get stale and I heard Zero… wasn’t best received at the time

I got a big question how much better is halo than call of duty?
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 20,342

I don't think that's necessarily a fair comparison.
- 4,442
- 1,508
Shooter games giants when at their prime. It was inevitable for a comparison as they are shooter games at their core. Well, COD was more WW Era to Cold War to Modern Era with one or two COD games set in more futuristic settings. Halo and COD were first person shooter games.
I get people not like doing unfair comparisons, but for me, they doing comparisons based on some similarities as well

Back in my day I’d often hear not only about comparisons but also that Rackaracka video about halo vs call of duty
On the positive side I didn’t remember hearing halo kids that much compared to those COD kids
- 4,442

But for an serious answer, apples and oranges especially with multiple games.
COD has been mostly same gameplay and I think Halo as well, but tbf in case of Halo, it did tried to branch out in its own way. As a example, doing Halo Wars in a RTS game

Can we also agree hammer how good halo’s music is? That opening theme or whatever it was called i will never ever forget that one

My honest reaction when I read John’s backstory/childhood and spartan training in general
- 23,681
- 14,217
That’s kinda F***** up ngl when I read how Spartans are made. Considering shouldn’t this violate human rights/geneva convention

It was either that or Humanity goes extinct full sale. Hell, even with them we damn near lost.
- 4,442
- 1,508
It does, but it did give Humanity a fighting chance against the Covenant for nearly 30 years.
Without the Spartan 2s and Spartan 3s, the UNSC would been completely wiped out before it even reach 2 decades marks or even 10 years mark.
Edit: Probably within a few years at least without Spartans super soldiers.

Isn’t that an example of the phrase desperate times call for desperate measures?
- 4,442
- 1,508
Main reason. Space Battles was mostly losses due to Covenant’s Aerial and Space superiority.
Any victories the UNSC has in space engagement came with heavy losses
- 4,442
- 1,508
Here is a lesser known fact. The Spartan 2s was originally intended to fight against the Insurrection due to how bad it got, but thanks to the Covenant, that purpose was changed to defenders of Humanity and ensure humanity survive as long as possible

This reminds me, once revisions are finalized, Chief may need to have most of the matches on his profile removed. What will stay and what will go?

The safe option is all of them, just wipe the slate clean.
