Ryaquaza 1 Flood: we have our own Spartans Humanity: oh really This is lasky to infinity you see that spartan? Infinity: yeah we see it sir Lasky: I don’t wanna see it
I always saw Field Marshalls as the equivalent to Spartans. Tough Bastards!! Like wtf man Field Marshalls charge you relentless on Mythic. I’d scream like a little girl!!
I think that killing him of with a nuke is a pretty lame way to kill him off I would have loved to see him as a leader to a faction similar to the banished
As you can see that’s not correct. Especially since the Prophets made the title of Arbiter a mark of shame after Thel Chavamee from Halo Legends defied the Covenant by saying the Great Journey is a lie.
What about the silent shadow? They weren't genetically enhanced (as far as I know) but they were a special division specifically meant to hunt and kill Spartans.
Yeah i mean those guys are ruthless, probobly more so than most on this list but they are a group so i thiiink thats why they werent mentiond or he forgot about them
They were the elite of the elite and I consider them the best the Covenant has to offer in hyper lethal Sangheili. Maybe we’ll get to see the remnants of them in Halo Infinite, but that’s only if Atriox makes an appearance due to Silent Shadow accepting his offer to be with him.
Fernando Mariscal the comic books would like to disagree with you. In the books (published by bungie) show that master chief was almost killed by one, and would have died if it were not for the fact he had an energy shield and overcharged it to stun the brute.
Seeing him the in the battlefield as an ally would shake my entire being "I'm playing as a spartan yet I want to be that guy over there, ripping things apart"
I would rather not see it unless it was as an ally cause the point where to legends meet its where one of it ends... they can have Lock die to Xytan' Jar Wattinree, but please don't make me kill him with anything smaller than a spartan laser after a couple of deadly encounters
Who would win? An Elite who has a military leader of legendary status, probably being able to tear apart even a brute in melee combat and single-handedly having control of the entire Covenant Armada and is twice as tall as a normal Spartan III or One nuky boi
@@frenchsoldier8485 like the infection form right? I think where chief shines the most is his ability, with cortana to be able to get out of tight pinch scenarios.
@@comandercarnis. I hope so. It would suck if tem be tek was the only survivor. I would love to see a spartan 2 in their prime ( Jerome, Alice, or Douglass) vs a prelate. Would be a dream halo match up.
@@S22SgtMax I had long hoped that some event would occur that would cause us to team up with the san'shyuum like we did all those thousands of years ago when the flood first appeared
Imperial Admiral Xytan ‘Jar Wattinree was killed killed by a UNSC nova bomb salvaged from Reach. Huragok onboard his flagship were fiddling around with it when they accidentally armed it, resulting in 2/3 of his fleet being destroyed.
Back in my day, we didn't have any of those fancy "goblins" or "prelates"! We had energy swords, and we stabbed ourselves in the face every day! And we LIKED it!
"They hunt down spartans and successfully kill them." Me: If anyone of them lay a f**cking hand on blue team, i wont need an augmentation to slay them.
7:03 Actually that’s incorrect the San Shyumm Prelate Tem was killed by “half jaw” and the Swords of Sangheilios in the book Shadow of Intent. Prelates would be very good competition to Master Chief and Thel Vadam.
Salma Ayaz Yes your correct. However Rtas wounded him and probably would’ve killed him if Tem continued to try to stop Rtas and the Swords of Sangheilios.
Dude. It wasnt an atom bomb blast it was a unsc nova bomb which basically is about 6-19 nukes . I'm talking about the imperial admiral Edit: now that I was reminded of how big it was (yes was it detonated during first strike) and how powerful it was it was at least I'd say probably minimum amount of nukes in it was probably 24-40 .why? Because in the book it scorched half the surface of a planet and destroyed every ship in between the planet and its moon so yeah I'd say that if it was planted about 1or2 miles under the surface of reach it would most likely be able to "crack it in half" seeing as this was described as being several meters wide and several meters tall .
The math of the Nova Bomb is whack af when worked out. The nova bomb always and only has 9 nuclear warheads. Each warhead deals 52.2 megatons of force. Exploding against Lithium Triteride focuses the explosion into as close as you can get to Nuclear Laser Beam, somehow making 47,000 Megatons of Force, which is 940 of the largest nukes in our current world.
@@infamousdoom6831 The reaction was said to trigger a subsequent stage, that produced a yield greater than the combined sum of nuclear warheads. It was basically a runaway fusion reaction, to the point of converting almost all of its mass to energy. Such a weapon has been invented IRL, but never tested, for obvious reasons. It's refered to as, the Gigatonne bomb. 💣
@@fadelsukoco3092 i always thought that they were the covie equivalent of spartans(on a side note, how awesome would it be if there were playable elites in halo infinite and we could get the armor they wear?)
Considering we still have to deal with Cortana, unless She decides to side with the covenant. And they with her, I don't see that happening. Where would it happen at? The forerunners were guarded by Prometheans, not Covenant.
Xytan wasn't exactly the largest elite as it was suggested by Eric Nylund (the writer) that his physical stature was augmented by a ceremonial head dress, platform shoes, and holographic manipulation. It's also said that in the scene he appears in, holographic magnification is used so that he appeared to be thirty meters above the crowd, and image replication was used to make his face appear in 4 directions simultaneously to the crowd. I'll rip the quote straight out the book. 'In the center of the oration chamber aboard the super-carrier Sublime Transcendence, Xytan's image was holographi-cally magnified so he towered thirty meters before them, and image replications made his face present in four directions simultaneously to the crowd.' I'm just saying, his massive height seems unlikely and the evidence supports the theory that his physical attributes were altered during his appearance. I wouldn't say it's impossible he's that large though, but he'd probably have some kind of growth disease like a lot of our abnormally tall humans do. So, more than likely improbable as any Sangheili with such deformities would more than likely end up discarded. So, a small chance. And even if he is this large, he definitely is not as physically capable as most Sangheili. Also, he was ATOMIZED by the NOVA bomb which destroyed two thirds of his fleet and destroyed one of Joyous Exultation's moons. He is 100% gone.
Oh, I wouldn't doubt that he's a larger elite as tallness generally comes hand in hand with good genetics, which would also be responsible for his intelligence and his adeptness at naval warfare.
I'm nearly sure that the Sangheli armour is actually similar to MJOLNIR as in its power enhanced and does give benefits like MJOLNIR. If you want to see a good break down, see Instillation00's breakdown on Sangheli combat harness. I believe that the Sangheli believed that their harness was given to them by the Forerunners
@@flyingthrills4440 I don't think so. Even the Arbiter would have steered clear of Xytan. And the Arbiter and Chief were considered equals as far as Bungie was concerned. That's what the phrase "Were it so easy" meant, that they would both struggle to kill one another, and the fight would be even.
The most ferociuos enemy the galaxy could have faced would be: 1) Flood in its keymind form 2) Didact with his composer and multiple human colonies composed 3) Xytan Jar Wattinree with his entire armada of 1 super carrier, 52 carriers and thousands of bombers and cruiser
I think it was one of the old game manuals that said a spartan was basically the equivalent to a red elite. I liked that, it helped solidify just how desperate the war was. Those guys were everywhere, meanwhile we had 30-something Spartans total and just lost our second most important planet. The war felt unwinnable, which heightened the tensions in the game all the further. Splitting the elites from the covenant was now a huge moment because this race of basically Spartans was now on our side, and eventually we barely win together.
@@J3WfroN1NjA21 In the novel First Strike a brute almost killed master chief and that brute wasn't even a chieftain. In terms of strength a brute can easily beat a spartan 2 but in term of agility and strategy a spartan can beat a brute. In Halo legends an elite beated master chief in a sword fight.
@@dragonleo_ if an elite lost to a human with their own sword in a legitimate duel that would be retarded. Eric nylund novels are soft retconned because of bungie. Take it with a grain of salt outside of the 343 approved new novels. Again jerome threw around brutes and elites and the one where chief almost broke his wrists apparently with an elite was in halo the flood which is even more bogus tier since it's literally just a retelling of halo 1. All good books regardless. But canon? Not so much since halo reach.
None of them can get the chief. There is one thing the UNSC has that gives them such a great advantage: plot shielding. (Or the fact that the Librarian's geias literally gifted chief the souls of thousands of ancient human warriors, or their essence.)
True. Those same Ancient Humans fought off warrior-servant Forerunners in ships in CQC, so even just peripheral muscle memory and reflexes here and there would save the Chief's life many times over.
@@fadelsukoco3092 Ancient humanity in the Halo universe is hands down my favorite non UNSC faction. From the fact that they literally were fighting the flood AND the forerunners at the same time to just how awe inspiring a title such as 'The Lord of Admirals' really is. One of the toughest scenes to watch in the entirety of Halo is when Forthchenko (sorry if spelt incorrectly) called for the extermination of millions of forerunners because their world was tainted by the flood. The amount of grief in such a few lines as they new their duty to the mantle required such actions be done. Really hits deep. Just as the story of 343/Chakas/Forthchenko and all his (their?) losses. There exists no doubt as to why the armor of choice for me in h5 is Hellcat. Ancient Humanity all the way.
What if the elite that killed kat, Emile, and the one that we see at the end of reach with the energy sword and the one who destroyed the nova bomb trigger is really the Arbiter. Just a fun fan theory that I believe.
The Gaming Leopard Gaming for the gamers. The Gaming Leopard Gaming for the gamers. Master chief is the luckiest spartan,I don’t know how he survived some of the shit he went through
I really love how Halo developers managed to make the plot armor most main characters have to seem actually legit on Master Chief's case, the team who was responsible with his kidnapping not only tested his mental and physical abilities but also his LUCK, in order to make sure he will get through most situations even if there is no logical way he should be able to put out all the epic shit he did.
"The Spartan program was justified because of the elites." Except they were made before the Covenant was even discovered. Spartans were made to fight insurrectionists. Granted, the Spartan program saved humanity, but when it was first created it was far from justified.
The halo 5 goblin was able to beat spartan IV but they are not real Spartans, the legendary Sargent Major Johnson was more of a Spartan than than the bottom shelf IV could ever aspire to be
What I want to happen during Halo Infinite. Chief manages to find Cortana at the end of a massive battle between the UNSC Marines and Cortana's troops, and traps her, and is in the position to kill her, but simply cannot bring himself to do it, and begins to have a mental breakdown, falling to Cortana's feet, sobbing. Cortana begins to feel again, realizing that she loves Chief, and kneels next to Chief and takes off his helmet. We see tears rolling down his muscular, battle-scared face. Cortana holds Chief, stroking his face and wiping his tears, and for the first time tells Chief that she loves him, and then goes on to say what she says at the end of the Discover Hope trailer. Cortana looks out across the battlefield, seeing the suffering and death that she has caused, and asks Chief for forgiveness. Chief reaches up with a battle-armored glove, and strokes Cortana's face, quietly telling her that he does forgive her. Cortana summons all of her remaining AIs and Guardians, and destroys the Guardians, and returns the AI to the UNSC. Cortana finally reenters the chip that was supposed to kill her, but Chief doesn't use it to kill her, but instead reinserts the chip into his helmet. The player is returned to the standard in-helmet POV, and Cortana appears on the HUD, smiling warmly, and John whispers to her in a loving tone, "Welcome home, Cortana", in a nod to the end of Halo 4, and the screen fades to black.
@@sylvesterpyre4076 They were a Group of Brutes tasked with hunting down Demons (Spartans)... Led by a Silent Shadow Elite. Atriox was one of those Brutes. No wonder he beat Red Team in a fight.
I feel like he is cherry picking when he is talking about how easy it is to kill Chief, yeah he’s almost died to a brute, but how many brutes has he killed without a problem? How many brute leaders who’re stronger than regular brutes has he fought and killed within the comics?
All Elite combat harnasses actually do enhance their strength, I assume it varies based on rank too considering Master Chief was still overpowering Elite Minors after fighting for days on end with heavily damaged armour in the books. Compared to higher rank Elites going toe to toe with perfectly healthy Spartans who's armour was in top condition.
In the 8th Spartan Ops episode where The Shangheli Gek fought and overpowered Thorne who was an armored Spartan 4, it was revealed the Gek killed many Spartans in the pass according to Paul Demarco. Paul confirmed this when he retrieved the many dogtags that Gek kept as trophies. Even though the majority of Spartan 4s aren't as Legendary as the previous Spartan generations it's still impressive that one Shangheli took out many Highly Trained Super Soldiers single handedly.
I like the Prelates, they are probably the closest things we have ro getting an idea about what the Ancient San Shyuum who went toe to toe against the Forerunners alongside Ancient Humanity would have been like. On the topic of supersoldiers and Forerunners, if Imperial Admiral Wattinree ever did get genetically-enhanced by the Covenant, we could be looking at what could only be justly described as a Sangheili 3rd form Warrior-servant.
Yeah chief can take that big elite because he more than super soldier when the forerunner evolved him in halo 😇 4 he probably 6 times stronger than a regular spartan
Soren Hayes He wasn’t even using maximum effort if he would have been he would have killed Locke like the 4 ODST’s he killed in a fist fight shortly after he was augmented and without armor. He knows the difference between wasted and spent and knew that killing Locke would be a waste.
One thing i noticed was that youre talking about them like of they had a power level like in dragon ball when you say something like they could kill master chief, but the truth is ANYONE could kill master choef after all hes not immune to everything any spartan 2 could die to even a grunt because thats how war is, the most elite warriors care taken down just by chance and it happens over and over
Elite Zealot combat harness did offer enhanced abilities over all other standard harnesses including physical strength, camo, utilities, and shields to directly quote reach Jorge-052: "Three. Zealot class. One got by us. The leader, from the looks of him." Halsey: "Zealots? You're certain?" Jorge-052: "Their armor configuration matched." Noble Six: "Shield strength, too."
Elites are not equivalents to Spartans at all. Maybe it was during post human-covenant war but not anymore. Naomi-10 in Mjolnir Mk 7 was able to break a brutes spine with one uppercut. Brutes are superior to elites in stength because of their size and height towering elites by a few feet. Master Chief was wearing a Mk 6 and struggled because many of the elites could be varying in strength and skill but Chief can learn and adapt. There has been many inconsistencies in Halo but it is implied that even a SPI armor Spartan-3 can kill elites such as G059 who was a Spartan 3 who took out 3 commander elites single handedly. Master chief who now sports a Mjolnir Gen 3 is presumably more powerful then the Gen 2 variant which was more powerful than the Mark 6 will basically make elites look like fodder at this point. The only way elites will be comparable to Spartans is if they had their own power armor that can augment their strengths and abilities.
