Spartan Ops Breaking Bad Reference

Sorry if this has already been posted before, but today while playing Spartan Ops, I noticed a clear allusion to Breaking Bad.

On Episode 10, Chapter 3, you fight alongside some Spartan Fire team Forest, and their leader is named

Gustavo Esposito

In Breaking Bad, a popular AMC drama, there was an antagonist named

Gustavo Fring

and he was played by

Giancarlo Esposito.

Thus, if you put them together, you get the name of the character in Spartan Ops,

Gustavo Esposito.

A neat reference to a great show. For those who haven’t seen it, I highly recommend.

ODST’s? :3

> ODST’s? :3

I think they were ODSTs, I did not use the possessive apostrophe though, I just meant multiple.

If they were a different type of soldier I can make the correction.

Gustavo Esposito is the Leader for Spartan Fireteam Forest. Nice find with the easter egg!

I wonder what was in their Pelican…

Thanks for the information, I have updated the OP.

> I wonder what was in their Pelican…

Probably all the uh… crystals… that you find in Warrens

> I wonder what was in their Pelican…

Blue -Yoink!-, lots and lots of blue -Yoink!-.

Haha that’s awesome. Love Breaking Bad, final season is just a few months away…

Should be excellent, the wait is just too long.

CHIEF WE HAVE TO COOK

Jesus Christ Palmer, They’re Minerals

Yo, Lich!

Not as good as Walking Dead :stuck_out_tongue:

> Not as good as Walking Dead :stuck_out_tongue:

Because a show about zombies does a better job of cooking -Yoink!-, right?

Apples and oranges.
