Hello, i would like to know your favorite scenes in halo; here are mine:
It’s hard to think of all of them at once, but my favorites include:
Seeing the Forward Unto Dawn touch down right next to me in Halo 3
The Didact’s awakening
Noble Six’s last stand
Seeing Halsey’s reaction when she learns John is still alive.
The Flood’s emergence in CE.
The “noir” feel of Halo 3 ODST
Halo 3 Starry Night trailer.
Noble Six’s entire story gives me feels.
Orphaned child; his friends and family ripped away from him at a young age, the planet he lives on is burnt to a cinder. Conscripted into a supersoldier program, and removed from his Spartan peers to conduct lone missions against rebel militia. Meanwhile, most of his fellow S-IIIs are killed during Operation: TORPEDO. This is the second time he loses his only friends.
Years later, he is introduced to NOBLE Team, a squad of SPARTANS and a chance to work as part of a team again. Over the next two months, his comrades are slowly picked off, plunging him closer and closer to loneliness again. After all those years of fighting alone, he gets a selection of soldiers just like him to work with and form camaraderie with, only to have these precious new friends torn away from him. This is the third time he loses his only friends. This cruel narrative cycle of having everything he knows taken from him continues.
He continues to soldier on, to fight, because that’s all he knows. That’s what the SPARTAN Program taught him to do; face ridiculous odds, win. But this planet, the last bastion of humanity between the Covenant and Earth, is burning around him. And he knows that this isn’t a hard fight. It’s his graveyard. Noble Six begins to grasp the reality of it all. No matter how much he tries, no matter how hard he fights, he will never win this battle. Not ever. Cities burn, defenses fall; there is not a thing he can do to stop the fall. Just like he couldn’t do a thing to save any of his former friends, from the friends he had before becoming a Spartan, right up to the ones he had in NOBLE. It’s not that he failed them; he wasn’t even given a chance to save them.
August 30th, 2552. Noble Six eventually finds himself in the Aszod Shipbreaking yard. Alone, once more. Hordes of Covenant swamp the area, charging in from the fiery mists of the planet’s burning horizon. Noble Six fights with all his tenacity, slaughtering many and striking fear into the enemy. He is overwhelmed however. Another impossible situation, without even a chance of victory. Noble Six dies alone in a barren land far from his home. No companions, no company. Just a lonely boy in a set of armor, cut off from everything else.
The name of the mission on which he dies?
Lone Wolf.
^Well that was…depressing :’(
Didact’s awakening is epic.
Cortana’s goodbye… I could relate to that scene so much.
From Halo Wars: 5 Long Years and Monsters (Spartans vs Elites and Forge vs the Arbiter)
From Halo CE(CEA): Two betrayals (after reading Silentium it became in One of my favorites) and the ending.
From Halo 2: Give the Covenant back their bomb, I know what ladies like, John-117’s departure from High Charity and the ending.
From ODST: The prologue and the ending.
From Halo 3: Arrival, the Storm final scene, floodgate final scene, the Ark first scene, Truth’s dead, finding Cortana, Johnson’s dead and the ending.
From Halo 4: The prologue, the UR-Didact’s awakening, No Sir scene, Cortana’s goodbye, the epilogue and the Ur-Didact’s speech.
Top 5? Oohf…
The entirety of ‘343 Guilty Spark’. Seeing this new, terrifying enemy, and realizing there was more to this big ring than just some badass aliens and an even more badass super soldier… It still shakes me to the core to this very day.
Seeing Thel 'Vadams shame in the beginning of Halo 2 was a very good scene, as it showed just how big of an impact the events of the last game had on your enemy - they were still able to fight, and were still as strong as ever, but they weren’t without loss.
Seeing the CAS-class Assault Carrier come over Mombasa in Halo 3: ODST, and Bucks comment on its size. It put things into perspective, because the Chief wasn’t built to comment on such things. Even by 2552, the best of the best ODSTs were terrified by the Covenant and just one of their vehicles.
The unveiling of the Portal to the Ark in Halo 3. It was a beautiful, yet somehow sad scene, for so many reasons. Despite everything you’d just done, everything you’d worked so hard to achieve here in Kenya, the Covenant still achieved their goal. You defended Earth, but did it matter now?
Hm… Probably the whole last set of cutscenes in Halo 4, including the ‘death’ of the Didact.
Didact’s awakening
Halo CE Epilogue
Halo CE Prologue
Halo 2 Epilogue
John’s talk with the Librarian
All I have to say is:
These people are gone / I could hear them; what was left of them
Poor Doctor Tilson
Halo Wars - The Spartans fighting Elites and Forge fighting the Arbiter.
Halo Reach - Long night of Solace and New Alexandria.
Halo CE/A - The first step on Halo, the awakening of the Flood, the Warthog run, and the destruction of Halo (“This is it baby, hold me”). 
Halo 2 - Bringing the Covenant back their bomb, and John-117’s departure from High Charity.
Halo 3: ODST - The detective feel in the New Mombasa streets, and Sadie’s story.
Halo 3 - The portal opening to the Ark, the battle of the Ark, finding Cortana, Warthog run, and the Legendary ending.
Halo 4 - The return of John-117 and Cortana, the Ancient Evil awakening, and the prologue.
Hrmm… Off the top of my head and in no specific order…
SHE SAID THAT TO ME ONCE, ABOUT BEING A MACHINE.
Not. Enough. Credit. Heartbreaking 
My list:
EDIT: There is a distinct lack of Guilty Spark in that list. I will add his introduction as the tragic final remnant of the great Forerunner civilization, flying through empty halls, turning crazy and lonely
Well let’s see… I loved the “I think were just getting started” from Halo CE as well.
I guess the Warthog run was pretty tight as well.
I like Halo 2’s team up between Johnson and the Atbiters elites, as well as the part where MC plants the bomb after the Cairo, and Johnsons “Regret speech”.
I defineteley loved seeing a team of ODSTs take down a Brute Chieftain in Halo 3: ODST.
IIRC, what really takes the cake for me was Didact’s Epilouge speech in Halo 4. It’s just such an epic number, sends chills down my spine.
I love the moment when the Master Chief finds Cortana in Halo 3. Just before that moment, the last Cortana moment is “This is UNSC AI Serial Number CTN 0452-9. I am a monument to all of your sins.” This is the moment when she is broken. There is nothing human left in her. She does not refer to herself as “I” or “me”, but rather the monotone of the crudest computer program we have today.
Until the Master Chief finds her, and somehow, he reverses (most of) the damage done with just a few words. If you ask me, the Chief’s finest hour was never blowing up the Halo or defeating the Gravemind, it was that precise moment, when the hope and faith he inspires in Cortana is enough to pull her back from total rampancy, to commit herself to protecting him again even though she’d been tortured to the point of madness. THAT is one of the greatest moments not just in Halo, in my opinion, but in all of the stories I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience.
In that same vein, Halo 4 is like this times a thousand. The moment where Cortana destroys the stalactites. The Chief doesn’t get angry with her, or even acknowledges that she had done anything wrong. He just reevaluates his plan coolly and goes for something else, even trusting her immediately afterward to tell him where the Lich was, placing his life totally in her hands even though she’d had a rampant fit moments earlier.
I don’t know how exactly I feel about possibly bringing Cortana back in the future, but I think Halo needs this sort of emotional heart moving forward. Halo does it so well, better than many novels I’ve read or TV shows I’ve watched, and I’d hate to see it lose it.
1- In Halo 3 when Chief finds Cortanas message and everyone gets together for that big meeting.
2- Halo 3 ODST at the end when they are in the Phantom flying away into the sunset.
3- Halo 3 “What is it? More brutes?” “…Worse…”
4- Halo 4 legendary ending. When there is that huge buildup to Chiefs face reveal.
5- Halo: Reach When Jorge launches you off of the corvette. Then when you land and look out towards the city. Lots of feels in that moment.
That final scene in Halo 4 when the Master Chief says “she said that to me once, about being a machine”
And then Never Forget started playing.
In game order by release ( and what I own )
Halo: CE: When foehammer gets shot down I actually had to pause the game to register what had happened.
Halo 2: When regret carrier did an in atmosphere jump ( because at the time I thought it literally destroyed the city ) and when you meet the gravemind.
Halo 3: Landing on installation 00 A.K.A The ark and when johnson died ( gosh that scene got me right in the feels )
Halo wars: Forge vs the arbiter ( Ripa 'Moramee )
Halo 3: ODST: When you see the covenenat reinforcements begin to unearth the portal
Halo: Reach: Jorge’s sacrifice to destroy the supercarrier and your last stand on lone wolf
Halo 4: When del rio orders chief to hand over cortana and when we sadly say goodbye to cortana at the end of the game.
