Cowbell.

I know its really damn offensive, but the second time I saw it I couldn't help but think. "for the emperor!" then the 3rd time, "Praise Allah!"

Thats my opinion.

it was really good, but carter needed a lot of character development. Not to mention the fact that the tune that played in his death was a little overused :P

You should also get therapy.

Eh, I was a little sad but it didn't wrench my heart. Reach had terrible characters. There was no backstory whatsoever aside from some hastily drawn together rubbish on Bungie.net; no alluded motives, flaws, fears, hopes, traits, tales from the past -- they were just Master Chief clones and somehow managed to have less personality than the Chief.

Awful characters, average plot. A disappointment of a campaign.

Uh, I wasn't asking how sad it was. I wanted to know how epic you thought it was.

  • 02.07.2011 3:18 PM PDT

I thought it was all right, on the epic scale I'd give it a 3 or a 4. I wish we had gotten more screen time for Carter, or game time, he looked like he had potential to be totally bad-ass, they didn't do enough with the characters in Reach :/

I completely agree with you. Personally, the first time I saw it I gave it an 8 because I wasn't expecting it.

Hmmm well considering Carter was the only one who sacrificed his life for the rest of Noble Team I guess it was better than the other. Personally I would have felt more for him if he had died defending Noble 6 and Emile. Imagine if all three of them had made it to the POA. The Zealots are inside that facility and as those 3 turn the corner they get attacked. Thinking quickly Carter punches in a door lock trapping him on the other-side with the Zealots. This death would have been much cooler IMO. Actually it would have been a cool death for Emile and Carter could have fired the gun. But instead of Carter missing his raider he is killed by the Field Marshall ,who is cloaked, by getting stabbed through the cockpit.

Hmmm I should probably read this over for grammatical mistakes but I'd rather just write this sentence explaining why I didn't.

It was pretty epic, and depressing.

After watching over like 5 times, I also couldn't help but think,"For ALLAH!"

Lol.

Signatures are for squares.

The first time I saw it, I was literally unphased. Infact, I "wtf'd"

The second time I saw it, I was playing co-op and for some damn reason, we came up with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmOqBXRQDbc Now, "Carter out" is synonymous with Kamikaze in our group of friends.

Define "epic." In terms of cool explosions, sure. I think for a truly 'epic' scene though, you have to be emotionally tied as well as aesthetically engaged.

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

I found it dumb. How hard would it have really been for two Spartans to take down a Scarab? Granted Carter's injuries may have guaranteed he would die soon anyway, but I still think it was dumb.

I wasn't really expecting it either, I felt the most for Jorge's death, even though I did not like the circumstances for it though it was waaaaaay too cliche.

It wasn't epic. It was predictable and like Wolverfrog said above me in order for something to be epic it is of my opinion as well that you have to be emotionally involved with the characters which Reach failed to do with any of its characters. It's too bad since that's what they were trying to do for the whole game.

Emile Pwnzored him.

  • 02.07.2011 5:08 PM PDT

To thte ones saying it wasn't necessary, it was. Theses guys are S-IIIs not S-IIs like master cheif. The scarab was preparing to fire at them in a few seconds while they have no cover to actually try to survive. Without Carter they would have died.
