I have several favorites, if that’s okay.
“I once met a soldier who told me he thought his weapon was a time machine. He wasn’t killing the enemy, but moving them forward to a time when they were no longer alive.” -Warrant Officer Jun-A266 (Halo Reach)
“When I joined the Corps, we didn’t have any fancy-shmancy tanks! We had sticks! Two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon! And we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy! You’re one very lucky Marine!” -Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson (Halo 2/Halo 2 Anniversary)
“Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep ‘em from gettin’ their filthy claws on Earth. But we stumbled onto somethin’ they’re so hot for, that they’re scramblin’ over each other to get it. Well, I don’t care if it’s God’s own anti-son-of-a–Yoink- machine, or a giant hula hoop, we’re not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have…is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?” -SgtMaj Avery J. Johnson (Halo: Combat Evolved/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)
“I am ordering you… TO SURRENDER THAT AI!” -Andrew Del Rio (Halo 4) For me, this one wasn’t the line itself, it was the delivery. He starts out calm, then practically flips out mid-sentence. I always find that really funny.

Oh wait my favorite quote
“stay focused, halo; how do we use it against the covenant?”
this one cracks me up for some reason
Mine is “With respect sir, you suck!”
By a marine.
Worst. Throw. Ever. Of all time…

Love RvB
But either “Don’t make a girl a promise…” or in reference to the chief being called demon - “Anne insult to be sure, but one with a modicum of respect” even though it’s new, I’ve always loved the Arbiter and that’s just him right there.
“Sir, Finishing this Fight”
“Marine did I give you permission to -Yoink-?”
“Time was your ally human, but now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners…have returned. This tomb, is now yours.”
I don’t think it’s a line from a game, it may actually be a stage name but, “thought I’d try shooting my way out, switch things up a little.”
“Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep ‘em from gettin’ their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin’ they’re so hot for, that they’re scramblin’ over each other to get it. Well, I don’t care if it’s God’s own anti-son-of-a–Yoink- machine, or a giant hula hoop, we’re not gonna let 'em have it!

uh…um… probably any thing johnsen has ever said. or when you turn on iwhbyd skull in h5 and battle warden, he says if cortana asks he had nothing to do with this when he kills you. also i shot him and he said “not cool man” in that deep evil voice, it caught me off guard and i just started laughing

> “It just keeps repeating the same word, regret.”
> “what does it mean?”
> “Dear humanity, we Regret being alien -Yoinks!-, we Regret coming to Earth, and we most definitely Regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy -Yoink- fleet!.”
this was my most favorite cutscene and 343 made it better with the cinematics, oh the scarab!
“There are those who say this day would never come, what are they to say now”
-Prophet of Truth
Gives me the chills every time.
“Sir, permission to leave the station.”
“For what purpose, Master Chief?”
“To give the covenant back their bomb.”
“…permission granted.”
