Additional Context: If I recall correctly, Kusovai was regarded as the finest swordsman in the Covenant, and his skill was retained despite the infection. So Rtas really is an S tier badass
Never thought about it, but it makes sense that Kusovai wouldn't lose his swordsmanship skills even after being infected. The flood used him to learn how to be a Sangheili sword master.
That's my favorite part about them. Makes the name "Elite" fit so well. It's one of the things I didn't like about h4's elites. No elegance at all. I haven't played the ones beyond that yet, so I can't judge them.
@@midgetman4206I got the impression that the H4 elites were the outcasts and brigands. Real shady types that wouldn't be welcome in reformed Sangheli society.
Interesting that a shipmaster fights on the ground rather than staying in space but Elite's have a honor code and try to die fighting a good fight I suppose
Such a cool badass character! Love Rtas! Wish we could see him, Arbiter, and the rest of the friendly elites! You got to know them over the series and with them being gone so long, i feel a piece of the halo charm has been missing. A hole that has persisted too long. 😅😔
My favorite part of the sangehlii that’s not anything lore related is that the developers managed to make a humanoid alien that still felt very alien and dissimilar to humans
Also, only a true badass earns a nickname like "half-jaw" In real life military nicknames are usually something embarrasing or some sort of "in-joke" that only certain people will understand. Half-jaw might be cryptic if you don't see Rtas, but it's immediately understood what his nickname is referencing if you know Rtas or have met or seen him. It's the literal equivalent of a dude losing his hand in combat and being given a mechanical replacement and the nickname "iron fist", there's no mistaking that he IS the motherfucker in the room.
Love it! Are there any apps yet let you use a PC laptop as a virtual screen? Or an AR fishtank app? I love the lava lamp app and I've always wanted a fish tank in my office 😂
I still don’t understand how flood spores can be microscopic and the air can infect you but these guys walk around it continuously breathing it and then “smell” it. smells more like continuity error
did you know bungie retconned forerunners being humans before halo 3? they were super undecided on whether they were or not but before halo 3 decided they were in fact separate species
I've always wondered how tf he does with the humidity that his mouth is supposed to have. What's about his saliva, shouldn't he be drooling constantly. Or what about his throat getting too dry
Games need to make characters lije this again. Infibite did a pretty good job with the bosses but none of them really have the backstory like Rtas. A lot of other games and shows just dont give other than main characters any story though
I miss these Majestic Honorable Elites, Halo wars 2 was great and saved halo (Without it The only story wed have would be Cortanas Rebellion) but i hate now halo is just about a Handful of brutes on The Rings.
Darn I don't want to be in a war between apes and gators but if I had to choose a side I'll be siding with the gators. If you don't know the reference, you haven't watched headhunters.
Read a fic where Bero was Rtas’ ex lover. Spicy, I like it. Fighting your boyfriend to the death while he’s controlled by a parasite and receiving a physical scar to remember him by? That’s the shit
