Subject: The Most "un-Spartan-like" lines in Reach

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

I have created this thread as a compilation of lines from the Reach campaign from Spartans that didn't fit the personality of a Spartan as depicted by Nylund in his books. This is meant to be a contribution thread, so please state the line/dialog, who said it or what characters it was between, and the context. I will gladly explain defend the ones in my OP.

These are not all mine. Contributions were made.


Jorge: Sir, why would rebels want to cut us off from the rest of the colonies?
Carter: If you have chance, maybe you can ask them Jorge.
First mission, en route to investigating COM disruption.

Jorge: Is this sanctioned sir?
Carter: What do you think?
When Kat was laying out her plan to take the fight to the Covenant before mission Long Night of Solace

Emile: Who's next?!...How 'bout you!
Instant before Emile's death

Jun: I'm lonely already...
Winter Contingency, Jun's remark after Carter informed Noble that they had lost communication with command.

I don't get it, Jorge is always being told the answers to stupid questions by Carter as if he is the rookie of the team. If anything Jorge should be the leader of Noble team as he is; the oldest, strongest, most military experience, most likely to come out alive from a battle, yet Carter and Kat are both higher ranked. Did Bungie ever give a reason to why a spartan 2 is with a group of spartan 3s?

No, and they likely never will.

Jorge doesn't fill with the role of being a team leader.

Yeah now that you say that, he doesn't. But still he acts like he has no clue to whats happening, Bungie show him as a bit of an idiot compared to Carter.

On hiding dead bodies:

Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll look
A corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.
Win.

Not so much a line by a SPARTAN, but still very unfitting.
"Primary objective"? Commander, are you a puppet, or a SPARTAN?-Halsey, debriefing Noble Team after the ONI SWORD base incident.

Anyone who's read pages 65-67 of The Fall of Reach (page 66 in particular) knows how stupid and wrong a question this is.

You should have definitely seen my face after I heard that from Halsey.

"You look nice" - Cortana

"Thank you" - Master Chief

This is Master Chief and Cortana at the begining of Halo 2 at the medals ceremony.
It is kinda out of place considering it's a compliment and he's being socially polite as appose to military polite. And he says it at the same time as Johnson so it's kinda funny too.

*This isn't Reach but I still think it should be made a point of*
And I don't really want to edit my post to say something like - Nevermind -

The cake is a pie

That first one got to me, seemed like a really crappy, sarcastic comment that wouldnt be said by a witty, elite spartan, but the others are precisely what i expect.

Heres one that gets to me.
Noble 6'Sorry i came alone'
Carter 'You made me proud'

You made me proud?. What is noble 6 carters son or something. Completely broke the atmosphere IMO.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

You know, because Jorge just died and all.

that was one of my favorite lines from the series it was a much needed humor in the game its why halo 2 was such a breath of fresh air

Hey, now!

This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

Carter says "Make him proud" as in Jorge, as he just died. As in make Jorge proud.

EDIT: hadlermaster beat me to it.

why is Jorge even with the spaten 3's. if you read halo evolutions: cole protocal you would know kurt is the only spartan 2 who became a spartan 3

i know Jorge didn't become a spartan 3 but i still don't think he should be paired with cheap, ment to die, versions of his "invincible saivor" project

  • 01.03.2011 2:30 PM PDT

have you noticed that Jorge is the most puppet-like and oddly doesn't aact like a robot?

*facepalm*
Kurt didn't become a spartan-3 he was just their mentor. That is like saying Sergeant Mendez is a Spartan-2 because he teaches them.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

The second one DOES sound like something a spartan would say, he's asking about his mission orders.

As for anything said other than jorge, they are spartan III's, they had different training.

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

Exactly. You wouldn't see a 1000 pound super soldier commanding a ship.

  • 01.03.2011 3:26 PM PDT

Come on. It's a game. You have to give Bungie some sort of artistic wiggle room, otherwise the dialog would be terribly boring.

The scene actually goes:
*kills Zealot with shotgun*
"Who's next?!"
*stabbed with Energy Sword*
"I'm ready! How 'bout you?!"
*kills other Zealot*

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Why are they non-Spartan like again?
