Subject: What's your favorite quote from any Halo game?

MENDOZA: Why do we always have to listen to this old stuff, Sarge?

SARGE: Watch your mouth, son. This "stuff" is your history. It should remind you grunts what we're fightin' to protect.

MENDOZA: Hey... if the Covenant wanna wipe out this particular part of my history, that's fine by me.

BISENTI: Yeah... better it than us.

SARGE: You ask 'em REAL nice next time you see 'em Bisenti. I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige.

"We got Jackals in the Courtyard!
"Standback marines, let the chief show you how its done!"
"Dear Humanity, we regret being alien -blam!-tards, we regret coming to Earth, and we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedly--blam!- fleet!"
"Aww, crazy fool, why do you always jump? One of these days your going to land on something as stubborn as you are and I don't do bits and pieces."
"No, No your not, don't let her go, don't EVER let her go, send me out with a bang,"

hi

The last level of Halo 3 the Gravemind says:

"Do I take life or give it? Who is victim, and who is foe?"

Which is basically saying "you guys are trying to live...and so am I." What life-force really has the "right" to live? Do either?

Actually, my interpretation of it was, The Gravemind is expanding the lives of the infected and bettering their existence. The Gravemind is trying to convince those listening that he is doing a moral good by uniting all races together. The victim foe part is just those trying to get in the Gravemind's way of completing his goal.

I agree with your first statement. It's a more specific explanation while mine was broad. Through exercising his "right" to live he believes he is bettering their existence.

However, by saying "who is victim, and who is foe" he is not just identifying that there are others in his way. He's stating his belief that the flood and the rest of the galaxy are just competing for survival and that either people can be considered the bad guys.

I have quite a few lines, but I'm probably forgetting a few. There are just too many epic lines. Here are a few of my favorites.

_____________________________________________________________ _


"You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No. Your world will burn until it's surface is but glass, and not even your Demon will live to creep, blackened, from it's hole to mar the reflection of our passage; the culmination of our journey. For your destruction is the will of the gods! And I? I am their instrument!"

The Prophet of Truth, Halo 3, Crows Nest Cutscene

_____________________________________________________________

"Men, here's where we show those split chin, squid head son's of -blam!-es that they could NOT have picked a worse enemy than the Human race! We are going to blow the hell out of those dumb bugs until we don't have anything left to shoot 'em with! And then, we are going to strangle them with their own, living guts!

AM I RIGHT MARINES?"

Marines: "SIR, YES SIR"

"Mmmhmmm, damn right I am. NOW MOVE IT OUT, DOUBLE TIME!"

Sgt. Avery Johnson, Halo: Combat Evolved, Opening Cutscene on Heroic

_____________________________________________________________

Rtas Vadumee: This armor suits you. But it cannot hide that mark.
Thel Vadamee(The Arbiter): Nothing ever will.
Rtas 'Vadumee: You are the Arbiter, the will of the Prophets. But these are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not.
Thel 'Vadamee: That makes two of us.
Rtas 'Vadumee: (respectful) Hmmm....

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy, you're one very lucky Marine!"

Sgt Johnson, Halo 2, Metropolis, Bridge cutscene

_____________________________________________________________ _

"You have no idea how this ring works, do you? Why the Forerunners built it? Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever. We're all equally edible.

"Keep your head down! There's two of us in here now, remember!?

These were all written from my memory, but I do believe I got everything right. I've played a crap ton of Halo campaign. Look at my Halo 3 stats. I think I have around 38,000 kills in campaign alone.

There's more, but I can't be bothered to type any more. I've already been here, for around 25 minutes, typing quotes. Enjoy!

I'm going to be a little different and give a Halo Wars quote.

"That's all Harvest is today. It's hell down there. . . but it's our hell."

That line just had a lot of gravity to it, in my opinion.


What?

"That's all Harvest is today. It's hell down there. . . but now it's ours again."

That's what he says.


"I'm paraphrasin', ya heathen!"

Mine would have to be a IWHBYD grunt line from Halo 3 that cracked me up:

"Well, this sucks, I'm going north!"

  • 07.18.2010 7:53 PM PDT

I would have been your daddy but the dog beat me over the fence. You picked one hell of a day to join up.

Really dude? Profits? It's Prophets. You know, the guys who promised the Great Journey to the rest of the Covenant.

The word "profits" in there make the entire quote make no sense.
