Deaths, environments, or other drastic/major events, what brought a tear to your eye during your time in Halo.
Halo CE (Anniversary)****: The Terminal where you witness Jacob Keyes struggle against the Gravemind after he’s infected.
Halo 2 (Anniversary): I can’t decide between the opening scene with Miranda Keyes in its high quality and seeing her sad expression, or in the same scene when Arbiter is being tortured.
Halo 3: The Memorial Scene: as Lord Hood talks about those who sacrificed themselves it makes me recall of the deaths from start to finish, especially Sgt. Johnson R.I.P.
Halo 3 ODST: Almost every moment walking through Mombasa Streets as the Rookie: its night time, jazzy music, and the writings on the walls: “Hell on Earth” “We’re Next” and my favorite “Remember Reach”.
Halo Reach: At the end of the mission “New Alexandria”, after Kat’s death, the final scene where you just look out over the once beautiful city now reduced the rubble.
Halo 4: The final scene with Master Chief and Cortana: must I say anymore? Especially when followed up by that final quote by Chief: “She said that to me once. About being a machine.”
Halo 5 Guardians: When Cortana Betrays Chief: just the feeling of these two long time partners separating gave me such grief.
And beyond the games: The Prototype from Halo Legends by itself was just a heartbreaker.
Almost cried because I was so into the campaign.
As soon as the elevator opened, we rain across the destroyed room, chasing Carter and the rest of Noble team who were already on the other side. I could hear her talking to me, but I was too focused on getting out of the toppling skyscraper. I heard weapon go off above us, and then I saw a sharp purple needle go through her helmet and out her visor.
I stopped dead in my tracks, I was startled. I shouldn’t have because I was an augmented super soldier, but it caught me off guard. I caught her body as it slowly fell towards the ground. Looking up I could see a Phantom with the Elite Sniper. I reached for her handgun and fired. Even if it did hit him, his shield would protect him, but I didn’t know what else to do, so I kept firing. When I ran out of ammunition, I dragged her to where the rest of my team were providing support fire.
As the door closed behind us, I saw Spartan Carter just stare in disbelief, his face was hidden behind his visor, but we all saw his pain. But he did what every Spartan would do. We had a mission to do at Sword Base. I watched as he picked up Kat and carried her out. As June dropped a flare to attract a local Pelican, I couldn’t stop but think about what just happened. Phantoms are loud…I should have heard it…I should have noticed the spotlight shining down on us. Why did I have tunnel vision? Emile later told me that it wasn’t my fault. But I couldn’t help think that it was…
For me it was the last mission in Halo Reach. Watching the Phantoms drop the Covenant, wave after wave. You knew at that point Six had no chance getting out of there.

Even if we did, it’s too little too late at this point in time. No sense adding what should have been a normal feature in, two whole years later.

Split Screen should be in Halo 5 when it did come out October the 27th 2015 (1.3 years ago). There was a lot of disappointment that grew from the fans quickly after release mainly because of lacking features and no forge. Some of these issues have been adressed in each of the content updates. However, there is way too many tiny bugs with the game that takes away the Halo experience. In Raycevick’s review series of all halo games, he told that he did experience game breaking glitches in his campaign COOP run. These glitches should get fixed immediately after they are found. The Theater is also partly working and The Act Man made a 30 min video about WZ Firefight glitches and bugs.
Only few of the glitches have been adressed or fixed.
for me in halo reach it was really more with the death of jorge since his death was in vein, thinking he died a hero. when kat died i was actually pretty happy. that’ll teach her team mates off a cliff.
but the saddest moment in all of halo for me wasn’t in a game. it was the story, shadow of intent when you experience the dream shifting to a nightmare that a san shyum had that took place when the flood took over high charity. about him finally having a family with the woman of his dreams and how the sangheili and flood tore it away from and the details were painfully vivid. i literally felt like i was going to cry

Very poetic; definitely makes the moment sound more heartbreaking for me then I felt before :’(
Most of the ones you mentioned I agree with. For Halo: Reach it was the ending when Halsey is saying her eulogy for Noble Six. It was really well written, and a great way to conclude the story (especially that last mission, which is underrated).
