Subject: Favourite Encounter in the Halo Books?

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

What's your favourite encounter between two characters/factions in the book?

Mine would have to be the Spartans vs Brutes encounter in Halo: First Strike. It was actually fairly atmospheric for me when John saw something zip across his motion tracker so fast that he thought it was damaged...and the Brutes seemed to be more cunning enemies than Elites amazingly.

Anyway, what's yours?

Man, I loved that! There was this Spartan, and those Covenant were so dangerous!

...

I'd pick the skirmish in Headhunters.

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

When Sif asks Loki to message Mack saying "it's Shakespeare, darlin', and he should look it up".

And the confrontation between Didact/Bornstellar and the Timeless One where he spills the beans saying that he's just another part of the bigger picture.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Almost anything with ODST's.

Other than that, anything with Tom and Lucy.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

The Spartan that practically punched a Hunter in half. It made the Covenant stop and take notice.

Indeed, the fight in Ghosts of Onyx where Kurt was smashed by a Hunter and was about to get killed, when Will jumped at the Hunter and took both of them down the slope and fought them hand-to-hand, killed one, and got killed by the second because it moved back and preferred to shoot him in the back.

I was left dumbfounded when he got killed. As did everyone in the book.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

They don't make em like that anymore. [storyline/portrayal]

When chief went hand to hand with a spec ops (black armored) elite on the bridge of a covenant supercarrier in First Strike.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

The Engineers meet the NOVA... What a hot match that was.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

When that cool guy named Halo who kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything shows up and kills aliens and shows that he doesn't afraid of anything.

Also, anything with the ODSTs (except for Glasslands).

Haha, I know right? That was the best part out of any Halo book. Obviously.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

A very good question. I have a hard time permanently picking a favorite, but having to pick one right now I'll go with when Kurt, his S-III's, and Mendez meet up with Kelly and Halsey.

*ghosts of onyx spoiler*

Kurt's death was possum grade ossim. Although his last words are kinda overused by people now. D;

Snakie Purple.

"Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog"-Hamdog.

Twatter

The Final Stand in Ghosts of Onyx, by far.

My favourite encounter would be between John, The Arbiter and Gravemind in Halo 2. Just love that moment.

That was brilliant what a stupid grunt.

"This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fusionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb, temporarily in command of the UNSC military base Reach. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell..."


One of mine is in the fall of reach, where Captain Keys gets into the escape pod, with some survivors and a stealth Elite.
The Elite thinks he's a effing legend when the captain asks a soldier for his sidearm...
Keys promptly snatches the gun and blows the Elites head off...

That man was true class... *salutes Captain Keys*

I agree, my favorite too! that elite thought he was so badass until Keyes splattered his brains all over the escape pod.
