By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I prefer the scene where Anders unlocks the Apex and the Forerunner ships to Monsters, I feel it has a more ominous tone to it. Monsters was badass, but it was also pretty unrealistic in terms of the Halo ficion...

Three Spartans pwn a dozen elites in hand to hand combat and a Sergeant named after a Halo 3 and Reach gametype prison shanks an Arbiter with his own sword.

I disliked that scene just because of the stupidity of the Elites. Why they use spears is beyond me, they wouldn't stand a chance against regular Marines let alone Spartans. I just don't believe Elites would rush 3 armed Spartans head on without any weaponry that could match.

This is one of the best cutscenes in whole series imo

I still really like this cutscene from Halo 3.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

lucky my bbrain is turned on today or I would have no clue what you're talking about.

And yea, that cut-scene was incredible. R.I.P Ensemble

I think the most badass cutscene in reach is in the first level when you get ambushed by elites then chase them into the cargo room across the hall after.

But there are some pretty epic scenes from the first three ames, i kust haven't played them in awhile so i forget them. =/

How so?

This plus the opening cutscene. They both convey a sense of "We are losing"

The fact that the dozens of Elites seem to have a brain the size of a mini-oreo. "Yes let's all charge at 3 Spartans from about a hundred meters back with close range weapons and just pray to the Forerunners for the best."

Also, the Spartans were completely overplayed with the aerobatics and stuff.

You've played Reach, right? All the Elites in that game do is rush you. I think the results would basically be the same.

I hated that scene because of how -blam!- the fighting was. For God's sake, Zealots are close quaters experts! They failed all over the place! Plus, everything just moves reeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaalllyyyyyyy slowly in that scene.

The music was the only semi-redeeming part.

That's not all they do, but when they do rush you, they smack the -blam!- out of you.

The ones in that cutscene stand there mindlessly while the Spartans grab their spears.

And what in the hell is a trained Spartan doing firing a shotgun from the hip in a square stance. Even a five year old can figure out that that is a bad idea.

I could go on and on with these. Although I enjoyed the gameplay, Halo Wars' story and cutscenes are an embarrassment to those of us who take the Halo universe seriously.

Monsters is a great looking scene but the lack of sense just ruins it for me. Elites in all other games display a sense of intelligence and strategy, the Elites in the HW cutscene behaved liked dumb Brutes.

First they switched off their camo so they are in plain sight giving the Spartans time to prepare, secondly they charged with melee weapons with not a single projectile weapon between them and all of this knowing that they didn't have any sort of personal shield. I personally just don't buy it, Elites are smart and ruthless, the "Elites" we see in the cutscene aren't.

The scene was simply designed to look good, no matter what the implications were.
