He raised his voice. A person with _real_ authority doesn't have to raise their voice to make things happen. The moment he started screaming, he had no authority at all.
Almost all of nature disagrees with you lol. People and animals raise voices to indicate something different from the standard speak. It doesn’t, all of a sudden, mean that you “have no authority”.
@@BigGlutesBigToots Any chihuahua can yap loudly. and yet... when someone speaks softly and everyone stops to listen VERY carefully to what is being commanded of them, you know they have strong authority.
@@BigGlutesBigToots human social cues agrees with him or her, if raising a voice and yelling commands fails to intimidate the target then there's really nothing you can do apart from physically discipline them, but that commander ain't gonna discipline a spartan 2
"ARREST THAT MAN!" Oh yeah. Let's just arrest a man that is: - Genetically enhanced for combat - Extremely well-trained for combat - Experienced in combat. In fact, he might be more experienced than the entire crew combined - Wiped out thousands of Covenants - Wearing a suit that protects him from plasma cannons and allows him to flip tanks over Conclusion: "Do it yourself, sir"
@@WarGrowlmon18 master chief advantage correction -Is way more experience in figthing -Wiped out whole armies by himself -Also enhanced for combat (probaly more enhanced actually) -Has a AI that is extremely smart infact one of the most smartest AI (might even be the smartest i dont really know) These advantages could win you suicidal battles Conclusion:attacking him while not being a spartan 2 is suicidal
@@WarGrowlmon18 Newer, not more advanced. The Mjolnir set of armor is far more expensive then hers due to being far more advanced. The newer Spartans are optimized for mass production, not for raw power like Spartan 2's. They also got implants and alterations done from a far younger age rather then implants as an adult. This let's them be much faster and stronger according to lore.
Seriously, try asking those ODST guys who picked a fight with John after he was augmented. And remember, that was *without* the armor and before the Covenant had entered the picture.
@@ralphmccoy2227 and got right back up yanked a gun out of somebody's hand and shoved it in the mouth of a cloaked arbiter. All in the span of literal seconds.

Spartans have one overriding order. Protect humanity no matter the cost. The other order is no member of the USNC may interfere with a Spartan executing their mission. See order 1
@@vincentramirez6967 no Master Chief is still a Sailor in the UNSC Navy at the end of the day. Makes me wonder when his contract will be up for renewal lol.
Cortana is beyond an AI, in being a direct copy of Halsey's mind although that's unknown to her. Where as Chief was raised to think of himself as more of a weapon than as a soldier.
I love how Forward Unto Dawn (underrated that it is) gives you the background that Lasky has with Chief and how he wasn't ever going to try and stop him...
Honestly the ending of Forward Unto Dawn was the best. Just that moment of the AI asking to replay it again and Laskey saying, "No, that won't be necessary." That whole sequence of him suiting up for cryo with the grenade fragment and speakers warning the crew the captain has ordered an immediate Slip Space Jump with an entire fleet jumping with the Infinite really made it feel like that was Lasky coming to return the favor. Instead the game came off of with it being more of an accident and Delrio being the incompetent jackass who thinks he knows better then the man who has been through hell and back for humanity and Lasky who got a real taste of that hell first hand at a young age.
That and he spends years in cryosleep, just to come out for like a week to save humanity and go back to sleep. Dude could probably be in the service for 100 years and still be late 20s...
Spartans can live up to 130 so even if chief what in his 40s he would still be in his prime even at 60 he can still kick but do to his argumentation which keep Spartans at there peak longer than what the s-IV could ever hope for and if he starts lacking in anyway his suit will make up for it that why they were given the name cyborg cuz how seamlessly the suit and the Spartan worked together and with a smart AI it makes even better
@@s8theninjawarrior916 I was almost happy till you notice the flight mechanics dont feel as good as reaches, the weapons were laughable due to the spartan laser and tank cannon, stead of a mini gun and missile rack. And the two outside "ride along" turrets instead of rear cargo hatch and mini gun? Wtf was 343 thinking. It felt like a joke of a pelician.
@@Zeoinx69 Spartan laser attached on a pelican fitted for a full combat pursue really boggled my mind. Like yes Spartan laser is a lethal weapon sure but is UNSC that cheap? Gonna fit some troop's handheld weapon in a full combat pursue pelican? Even if it's an upgraded version of the laser. Overall, it didn't felt like a pelican. Just a normal attack airborne vehicle slapped with stupid weapons
@@mayanksharma5006 Yea, the only time it kinda made sense, was when they strapped like a shit ton of Turret mounted spartan lasers to the underside of the Condor along with a Mini Mac Cannon, as a measure of desperation to create a massive weapon platform to give them a edge on the Banished, something they wouldnt expect, and even THEN it felt kinda silly, though at least in that case It felt bad ass to field on the battlefield Imo, a FULL combat Pursuit Pelician would be more like the Pelician Gunships, filled with rockets, proper full size minigun, and filled with stock pile of supplies and support troopers, maybe even a warthog if the mission profile demands it.
@@Cardboard_circle galsey was his trusted assistant. So oni wouldn't resort to use her since she had a complicated history. She was oni last resort due to him not having a mission with the admiral from halo 2-3 updated because the war was over. Halsey was uncontrolled to oni, but they were unable to stop blue team because they didn't have the leader responsible for the original order starting at reatch.
when you think about it, yeah, Keyes gave him an order to protect cortana at any cost, no higher command has voided that order, so chief is still technically fulfilling it. Although given the time thats passed, and the things done, he did already fulfill that order for keyes, so by this point its technically finished and no longer needs to be followed
@@_nightshade_gaming4792 actually master chief got kinda hurt the reason is because master chief was fighthing with little to no effort he had no intent to kill if he had full intent to kill and was going full power locke wouldve been gone in like like 10 seconds
Master Chief could wipe out that entire vessel if he wanted to. Who tf would want to arrest him without his consent. If he isn’t willing, I really can’t see him getting cuffed.
I very much doubt he actually could. He'd die from sheer attrition to ODSTs, the ships marine compliment, and of course the Spartan IVs. The numbers are simply not in his favor.
Seriously fuck that level; I was on heroic and died more to Covenant than the promenades particularly the final firefight those bashees were so annoying
@@thanhuy2583 But you seem to forget that even though he is strong, he cannot he cannot fight the armor when it is locked up. That's why in Halo 5 Locke was completely frozen unable to move anything but his head.
Chief has always just kinda done his own thing. He does his job and supports the UNSC as needed, but the brass know to give Chief whatever leeway he needs to pull crazy stunts and save everyone.
Just a reminder that Captain Del Rio got his ass HANDED to him on a silver platter for trying to pull rank on Master Chief (and get in his way in general) which FLEETCOM (the entity that oversees the entirety of the UNSC) kinda agrees is a very bad idea. Del Rio then did what stupid, retired officers do and ran for office as a senator, and then fucked that up so badly, he was "awarded a nice vacation."
“Well Captain, what is the complaint? … You want what? Captain, are you aware just who HE is? What he has done, who he has fought, how many lives (civilian and soldier) he has personally saved and you tried to arrest him? Frankly we’re surprised he didn’t rip your miniature brain out of your aging backside and beat your body with its own spinal cord. Best you just accept this is one soldier you don’t command, you ASK.”
I love this game. the story is so good in my opinion. Cortana saying "c'mon chief, take a girl for a ride." just goes to show that Cortana and Chief have some kind of romance in an artificial way, and I almost want to say the only thing Chief needs is companionship. whether it be an AI, Human or even Alien. It's phenomenal.
Read the books if you haven't... After the other Spartans died, the companionship of Cortana helped MC move on, as it was like being on a team again... Which is the closest thing he has had to family.
Halo 4 is widely regarded as the worst Halo story. I'm going to venture a guess and say you didn't play the original Halos when they were released because Halo 4 is a massive left turn for the series. Cortana isn't some damsel in distress. She was willing to blow herself up along with High Charity to stop a Halo ring from firing. She's not some "poor me, I'm going crazy and will have to be shut down boo hoo" girly girl. She was a badass who would have gladly given her life to help the UNSC and Humanity. I don't know who this dummy thicc bimbo is who constantly cries about her own rampancy, but it's not Cortana. The Cortana I grew up with and knew would have shut herself down the SECOND her rempancy put Chief in danger. Not dangle along, crashing ships into stations because she can't keep her shit together. Or sit there and cry about humans that got composed when there's shit to get done. Like I said, I don't know who those characters are, but that's not Chief and Cortana. I'm glad you like them, though. Maybe they can get their own story sometime and not piggyback off the stories I grew up playing.
@@adrianbaldoni9485 no... SOME people think Halo 5 is the worst. SOME people think 4 is the worst. It depends on who you talk to. Either way, it's still widely regarded as the worst. They're both regarded as the worst without a definitive answer as to which one is.
@@notfunnnydude laskey was a trainee when the base was attacked by covenant. They hadn't encountered them yet and were only aware of rebels attacks and Spartans being used to combat them. When his base was attacked and some (if not most) of his team was killed it was blue team that saved him and what friends he had left. Master chief personally by entering the base and saving the survivors as best he could. The whole thing is absolutely amazing and I can not say it enough times for you to watch it. It's so God damn good.
The Master Chief was trained to do what was necessary to accomplish the goal of human survival in the face of any threat, internal or external. This means three things: 1. An enemy or admiral can be a threat in need of straight-up eliminating, if not removing or simply ignoring. 2. If he requests or demands something, it is undeniably necessary. 3. Do Not get between him and objectives 1 & 2.
@@spatialkt506 Exactly, its like they don't even know who they are talking to. Its like Captain, you do realize i could end you right here before you new spartans could even bat and eye, and he would walk through them like tissue paper and plastic wrap. MF, as players we have saved the universe over and over again, and fought things that would turn your hair white to clear, with a unseen grin, a grenade, and a rocketlauncher.
Captain: "Lieutenant! Arrest that man!!" *Points to Master Chief* Lieutenant: "I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that." (Persuade) *SPEECH INCREASED BY 100*
Palmer looked at Captain Del Rio and you can see in her mind saying, 'are you fucking insane? This guy would slaughter us all in the blink of a eye and you want me to arrest him. Politely sir, go fuck yourself.'
Not scared. She's just on Master Chief's side. She's a soldier. She gets what Master Chief is saying, and knows what he needs to do. She's not about to get in his way.
@@Josh-99 Nah, Palmer was an ODST before she became a Spartan-IV. Plus she also has a huge chip on her shoulder that she doesn't deserve. So she's got a double-dose of arrogance. She refused to obey Del Rio's order because she's still smart enough to not come between a blue chick and a guy who willingly marched into the gaping maw of an Eldritch abomination to rescue said blue chick.
Now while Master Chief is known for massacre of several different species. He has probably killed humans. Mostly due to the fact the Spartan 2 program was originally designed to combat rebels. I'm gonna assume that Captain wasn't aware of their original purpose. Which makes Chief even more scary. I'm gonna address some other things I didn't in the original here but I'll leave the original for others to read. Yes I do know Chiefster has killed 2 ODST grunts and has crippled about 12 total ODSTs I know of. He is more then capable of killing any human but doesn't because it's not cool. I am excluding insurgency cells because I have no idea about his rebel kill count.
@@GrEaTDemOnBlade I said probably because other then the 4 ODST guys he killed I'm unsure what other humans he killed. If you could link or tell me what book/comics where he killed other humans. I'd like to check that out.
Ah yes let's arrest the genocidal 8ft tall, bio/cyber enhanced warmachine, that was trained since childhood how to effectively kill everything that threatens him, by your orders admiral, very well thought out decision..
Not really genocidal, he seems (relatively speaking) unusually well adjusted and capable of nonviolence for a man raised from childhood to be a living weapon of war.
@@nicholasmorgan7609 He may not sound like it, but the genocidal part still stands. The Chief has killed nation-sized groups of aliens for a good amount of time.
@@TheSilentJorge I'm not up to date on my halo lore, because it didn't appeal to me as much as it did to my brother, but genocidal would imply systematically trying to wipe out a people. Was it for the sake of getting rid of them, a means to an end for his mission or was it collateral damage? If the first, that's genocidal, if the second, that's excessive, but not genocidal, if the third, that's closer to mass manslaughter.
@@nicholasmorgan7609 he’s still genocidal, because he is Known for purposely wiping out entire alien races. (and with no army to top this off)Maybe not psychopathic, but genocidal all the same.
@@nicholasmorgan7609 and the definition of genocide doesn’t change even if it was for the better good and it doesn’t have to be systematically. Last but not least, manslaughter only really applies to humans so that wouldn’t really work in this situation unless we consider all the aliens in halo as human (and if we do then infinity is breaking their own laws anyways)
"I'm not willing to jeopardize my ship because the hallucinations of an aging Spartan and his malfunctioning AI." Hypocrite in seconds. Even in lore Chief was known to literally just roflstomp entire covenant divisions and even made it out in one piece one time with civilians in tow. What makes him think Chief can't wipe all of them out in that dong shaped ship? Chief could cause more havoc than an entire covenant and forerunner fleet combined.
I mean, who is Del Rio kidding? 85% of the Human-Covenant war was the entirely of the Covenant being straight up massacred by one pissed-off Spartan II, and he thinks he, or anyone else on the Infinity (or the planet, for that matter) can arrest him?
Also very rich from him, calling him "an aging Spartan", when he is 11 years older than Chief and also ages faster than him. Chief will still be kicking ass while you're rotting in your grave, Del Rio.
It's cool to see that Lasky went from being this scrawny, almost failing out of the academy to a Captain. Even more so than John saved him from the Covenant in the academy and now Lasky is helping save humanity by helping John.
He killed them because the higher ups needed to see if he was capable of killing. They sent the ODSTs to their DOOM while John was doing what he was trained to do. Nothing personal.
People says that no one in that ship could arrest the Chief _No one_ in the entire UNSC could arrest the Chief. The only ones that could have a chance are his Spartan-II brothers, and either way they wouldn’t do it lmao
This is why I prefer Lasky as a commanding officer. He legit stands by the Master Chief and even with orders to stop him, literally gives him a pelican to use. I wouldn’t be surprised if Del Rio wanted that pelican to be used to hunt Chief. Would make Lasky look even better since he gives it to the Spartan.
He would bring down that whole ship and everyone in it with ease before giving up cortana. One of the greatest written characters in video game history, alongside one of the greatest video game story lines of all time.
In some circumstances Del Rio is the right one, he followed every protocol and dealing with Cortana is also isn't incorrect decision because of her rampancy. Unfortunately not in this situation, Didact can jeopardies entire human race, that threat level deserved any countermeasure, Chief and Cortana also had a way how to deal with Didact. If he still think that Infinity is still to important then he can still support Chief by giving him a backup or support asset rather than arrest him or considered intel from the legendary Spartan only as a BS. Del Rio is just to chaotic, tend to make irrational decision in panic, unfit to lead in middle of battle and the worse thing is, he consider infinity far more important than anything even extinct threat level to mankind. Just because is the correct thing to do, it doesn't mean is the right thing to do
Not only that he is also wrong on the account that he just tossed aside the word of a highly decorated and efficient 20 year war veteran who has proven himself a dozen times over calling him an ''aging spartan'' when he had no intel to prove what he was saying is false. In real life he would be removed from command
@@Froggyman145 sources? Bruh. You learn this by playing the game. When chief arrives at earth, lasky is captain now. He asks where is del rio, and he says "they didnt take too kindly about his abandoning you on Requiem"
To be fair he brought down an entire menagerie of religious fanatical aliens and survived roughly three outbreaks of Flood...I dont think there's anyone with the pure steel balls to stroll up on the Chief and tell he is under arrest and the only one who would do so would be Judge Dredd and even then he would not arrest him and instead out would ask the Chief if he would like a bigger gun.
Master Chief's instincts have proven invaluable to humanity's survival time and again. He brings up humanity and his desire to protect it with or without help even here. I dont think as others do that Palmer was "afraid" of trying to arrest Master Chief. Imo she heard everything coming from "the" Spartan and believed he should be given the benefit of the doubt even if she couldn't or wouldn't outwardly say it. It's his ship and no one else including his second, really wanted to doubt Master Chief. The Captain is arguing against humanity's savior against the Covenant. He's ice skating uphill.
Who ever manufactures the combat knife Master Chief uses must be proud, to catch a super soldier in full armour sliding down the side of a ship like that. Impressive.
Honestly thought the same. Like what kind of make / grade would you have to go, to be able to handle master chief's weight, and be able to just easily sink in, into a ship. xD
Dude , the man was a living legend . Even if the real life nobody was eager to mess with an uncrowned hero . Everybody earned that title was never some one you wanted to fuck with in your life .... Ever !!
@@Kirito843 That would be a battle of the ages. The winner would honestly come down to situational advantage and such. Considering John is a Spartan II he has more enhanced abilities. Then again, Spartan IIIs were still up there in enhancements. If it were just a straight up cage match I think Chief would win by that slight advantage. Though if Six had the home field advantage I think he could win.
One of the best cut scenes in the halo franchise. Really shows chief starting to slowly tap in to his emotions. Cortana played a huge role in that for all their adventures
Most of the time when things like this are done, men are given the Medal of Honor. Most men given the Medal of Honor died earning it. In the U.S. military anyone given the Medal of Honor must be saluted even by superior officers (when worn).
"I'm not willing to jeopardize my ship because the hallucinations of an aging Spartan and his malfunctioning AI." You have a dozen frigates at the ready. give him like... i dont know... just 2 of them.
Fun fact when Spartans are deployed until they are off their mission they only answer to the Admiral. Their mission always comes above all else. Hence when Del Rio returned with the infinity to high command and told them he refused to follow the directive of a spartan. He was court-martialed.
Spartans operate within the UNSC chain of command... to an extent. That commander has no authority over Chief and could have been killed by John if he deemed it a threat to his mission. His mission is to protect humanity.. at ANY cost.
Del: “Arrest that man” Palmer: “sir, this ship is our only ride home and I regret to inform you that this ship won’t survive masterchiefs resistance” Del: “arrest him” Palmer looks at lasky, lasky looks at Palmer, palmer looks at chief, chief looks at palmer.. Palmer: “silence”
My favorite moment of this scene is just after Del Rio says "...THINK you saw...", and Cortana just goes "tHiNk!?" Palmer's mouth opens extremely slightly and she turns her head just a bit. These two actions are the Spartan equivalent of 20 early-90's rap crew hype men busting into the room and screaming "OH HEEEELLLLLL NOOO!" And Del Rio doesn't even see it :P
