Who would you want to kill Atriox?

I think there are a few good options. My personal favorite would be Red team getting revenge, but also a part of me would love to see Arbiter and Atriox go head to head. And then there’s the obvious choice to see Master Chief finish him off. Leave your comments below Spartans.

Well theres two possible candidates.

Red Team - They humiliated and wrecked them. They want round 2.

Isabel - Her whole thing is that she despises Atriox and clearly wants “the Brute” “the monster” dead.

Since its a personal story I can’t see them having anyone else kill Atriox. It would be like having the Chief kill Truth and this is the sort of world where people get revenge.

So, two possible ways this plays out:

Isabel joins the Created, gets a big suit of Promethean armor and hits Atriox until he dies. Could be the whole “revenge is the path to the dark side” deal.

Or and this is more likely.

Isabel is in Jerome’s armor and helps Red Team take Atriox down. Points out weak points, directs them to attack certain points, does analysis of his fighting style and all of that stuff. This allows Isabel and Red Team to take down the Brute.

Nobody.

Atriox is a villain I can actually get behind, not this Cortana-turned against those who created her crap. I’d like to see him continue on being a villain for a decent chunk of time.

If I was to have someone kill him though, I would have Red Team kill him. I feel like he’s too skilled/deadly to be killed by one person and to have it feel satisfying.

That’s a sweet theory. The dark side one would be cool, but unfortunate that Isabel goes bad. Isabel in Jerome’s armor to help Red team would be the best outcome i think. Then everyone gets payback.

Oh i don’t mean right away. I’m a big UNSC fan, but i do really love Atriox as well he was a well developed villain. And cortana never turned its one of her rampant fragments.

It’s true what you said about Cortana, what I meant was I am sick of the “created turned against the creator” narrative in all forms of fiction, not just Halo.

I do agree with TotalWar though, if it’s not Red Team/Isabel I think it would be wholly unsatisfying, I would look forward to their finally confrontation though. Perhaps a Spartan would sacrifice themselves to take Atriox down?

But if its a rampant Cortana then they would be subverting that trope because Cortana doesn’t want to be Skynet and rule the over the puny humans but is pushed into that role by her madness. You can also have a scenario in which every human character writes off what Cortana is doing “coz she’s an AI and its what AI do”, but the Chief still has faith in her being ultimately good. Then when they go back on it then Cortana can see all the horrible things she’s done as her old self and be all sad about it.

Can two Spartans make a team? If the story of Red Team is going to continue I couldn’t see one of them biting the bullet.

I was just thinking that if one of them sacrificed themselves it would be a better narrative, usually character deaths lead to a better story. (Not all the time though, I’d be fine if they all survive).

Two Spartans could turn into a head hunter team they operate in 2’s.

I’d say Douglas. I mean his in game dialogue is just so bad. I get that they’re trying to make him be all edgy like the skull face from Reach but he just butchers the lines hes given; cheesy as they are.

I think his voice was awesome really tough sounding, but if they were going to it would have to be him because Jerome is definitely an important character and these days you can’t kill of the female plus she was super awesome character.

He lives forever.
Long live Atriox

I’m pretty sure I saw him destroy 3 spartan 2s in hand to hand combat. drops mic

But no really the enemies we shoot against need a face and Atriox is a perfect fit. He’ll die eventually just not anytime soon and for the love of God don’t Jul mdama him.

No they will do one better. It will be background audio by an unseen character during a mid campaign halo 6 mission describing his death off screen. Given how they handled Jul this is the only next logical progression. :wink:

Well that was a bit harsh.

I want atriox to kill all.

I also want to see Roland marry Isabel. How cool would that be with those cargo pants and stuff.

A.I.'s getting married I’m not sure how feel about that it would be a little weird tbh.

In the book Contact Harvest there were two Al’s who were in love with each other, a cowboy guy who was flirting all the time and the other girl AI, she ignored him but loved him inside. At the end they went rampant and sort of came together and loved each other before dying.
