Baeztoberfest

They should reveal his face as he... JIZZED... IN... HIS PANTS. Killed a flood and he JIZZED. IN. HIS PANTS. He just got a DMR... JIZZED. IN. HIS PANTS. Ultimate face reveal. What if MC was Charlie Sheen? Winning.

Doing it now not later. GT is Baeztoberfest. Lets get it.

I already said you were right. Lol. What's up with the novel?

Well I know this was my thread and I had a point. But this pretty much shuts it down. Bravo sir bravo. Clearly you know and understand chain of command and how the military works. Are you in the navy? After reading this post I'd guess you were. And before you ask, no I'm not being sarcastic. Seriously. This is how you end a good debate. Although even of people disagreed with me I would've liked to see more people argue the fact that his character presence would've made for a good antagonist at a minimum in future Halo titles. Unless 343 has bigger fish to get.

Stop talking about it and move on. Fair warning. Nothing else needs to be said. Just move on and stop arguing.

Agree to disagree I suppose dude. The original post said that The Chiefs Eyes weren't a fitting ending for legendary. I said they were with valid reasons for said ending. If my point is invalid because its not the opinion of you sir, then that is biased and misconstrued to fit your own agenda. In that case why would anyone even reply to a thread where you are right and everyone else's opinion is wrong? Do you even know how you're coming across? Also this is TunnelRats thread, not yours. If someone complains about me having a different opinion that must be against some kind of forum rules of some kind. So in that regard lets try and stick to the subject at hand and drop it okay?

Well yeah... I mean it was wrong for him to go out all lone wolf but... Even if they were supposed to arrest him... Do they make cuffs in his size? Also I wouldn't be the MP to subdue the chief.

Yes but to get the largest UNSC vessel in the galaxy back to earth hopscotching all over the galaxy hardly seems like a rational decision. If I was aboard a super cruiser in the yukatan peninsula why would I turn around and go all the way back to America just to tell them trouble is coming? I'd either radio it back, or if that didn't work I'd try and neutralize the threat as best as possible while maintaining military superiority and protecting government assets. A statement was made previously about the chief being the UNSC's greatest achievement with Cortana in terms of return investment. I agree 100% with that statement. That is FACT. So why would a captain send that greatest investment head first into combat sacrificing himself needlessly when after regrouping and contacting earth Rio could have stopped them with the Infinity? Rio was simply looking out for the chief, his crew, and earth. Granted it was more from a defensive posture than from a typical "guns a blazing" posture were all so used too... But that doesn't make the captain wrong. Another reason I believe Rio was PIVOTAL in the storyline was because he was willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING to save the chief to begin with. It's no mystery who was on the Forward Unto Dawn at that point. I'm sure in mitary briefings and what not following the events of Halo 3, it was documented by the Arbiters account that the chief was on board the Forward Unto Dawn. This means Rio was well aware the asset he had on that ship when he got the distress signal and instead of sending in scouts the whole fleet began to move in for a rescue. (Then being drawn into Requiem by the Didact.) Also keep in mind that The Infinity isn't a militaristic weapon but an expeditionary vessel. It's combat prowess lies elsewhere. Nobody assumed a Forerunner planet containing the Didact would be their demise. In these regards Captain Del Rio is still in my opinion a true patriot and a UNSC officer rivaled in courage only by MC himself, but being that MC denies direct orders, the win goes to Captain Del Rio in this particular game.

How did I deviate? Are you bad with words or something? You deviated by attacking my opinion. Way to go professor. My point still retains its validity. The Halo 4 ending, IN MY OPINION (and that's all it is, an opinion) was well worth it. The cliffhanger questions I want are all gonna be there. Is Cortana really dead? Is the Didact really dead? What happens to chief now (after the ending, librarian, etcetera...)? Those are plenty to be answered. My satisfaction with the ending of seeing my beloved Hero didn't deviate at all. I was merely giving you background to why I believed my opinion was relevant. If your ignorance to the opinion manifested above deferred you to blind rage and openly attacking forum members by trying to infer that they are somehow babbling nonsense, then perhaps pick up some literature and study up a little bit on basic human conversation and interaction. Also context clues might be a good read for an individual of your caliber. Good day.

So I had this dream... To crazy to ignore. I was traveling this Georgia road with thickets of brambles on either side of the dirt road. The woods were too thick for anyone to venture into so me and my team (a group of strangers) followed the road. We were searching for my grandfather who I hadn't seen in a year, and whom disappeared at a mansion in the countryside. We finally reached the dilapatated abode and begin searching the dusty rooms for clues. The only thing we found of interest were the numerous articles of clothing and bloody rags strewn about. Underneath the fireplace we found a log that when rolled backward revealed the entrance to a castle like dungeon. We followed the drafty cobble steps winding downward until we reached a massive entryway fitted with burning torches made up of human bodies. This is when my dream turned all Skyrim. We readied our swords and war axes and ventured into the underground castle we'd found ready for anything. What we had found was a coven of vampires! We slaughtered our way through a majority of them stalking them room by room (usually being detected before we found them) and slowly our numbers dwindled. The ensueing fights lead to a staircase that vanished into the darkness. After searching for what felt like hours at this point we followed the staircase to a solid oak door we opened up into this castle like office where the chair behind the giant cherrywood desk, spun to meet us. It was my grandfather and he was definitely a vampire. He told us the story about how he'd actually been a vampire hunter sent to anhilate the coven and their head vampire but during their battle most were either turned into vampires themselves or killed outright. He said he was able to make it to the vampire patriarch and slay him but at he cost of being bitten himself. Forbidden to join the world of the living again he became The Lord of that castle. We ended up having to fight and slay my grandfather. End dream. I looked for answers online but to no avail. I know this is off topic so that's why I posted it here in offbeat items hoping someone with some spare time could tell me what does this dream MEAN? I'm dying to know.

Damn. Almost brought tears to my eyes... Good writing and damn good insight. ^ THIS THIS THIS FTW.

I can agree to a point where you're right. My only argument is how does this reflect bad leadership on Rio's part? His orders weren't to "go ahead chief, save the day!" He said I stand down. His thoughts were protecting the ship and crew. How does that demonstrate poor leadership?

I bet you'd feel differently had you been aboard the massive space cruiser. In times of immense combat stress you make decisions that you will live with forever. But at the time they are instinct. To be on subject, nothing proves that Rio was a bad leader and would deserve to be discharged and forgotten about. All the facts I've pointed out were in the game and cinematics that all contribute to Rio's golden character and how vital he really is for the Halo franchise to continue.

I highly doubt all those points flooded the good captains thoughts as he didn't address any of that in te cinematic. What WAS addressed was the lives of all the men and women working aboard The Infinity. Regardless if what they had realized Captain Del Rio still made every valiant effort to save the ship while that Lasky idiot stood by and was a basic "Yes-Man" to the chief. Captain Del Rio, or as I've grown accustomed to calling him simply "Rio", was following protocol to the T. The long and short of it was he gave a direct order to Master Chief and he disobeyed. Treason, in times of war, as per the uniformed code of military justice (UCMJ), dictates that this crime is punishable by death by the commanding officer. Another point I'm raising is the LENIENCY Rio shows the MC by choosing to spare his life. Just one more reason Rio was essential to the storyline and will be on board for further sequels. I'm wondering at this point if he is not the bravest soldier in the entire campaign next to The Inifinity's Spartan IV commander Sarah Palmer.

I never read the books. I think being a fan of the game and playing CE when I was 13 years old, now I'm 24 still playing Halo should be more than enough to be a "fan". And I wanted to see his face. Not read a book and use my imagination.

The man had his back against a wall. The Chiefs antics and direct disobedience put everyone at risk. He made a decision to protect everyone on board The Infinity. That is hardly the actions of a coward. He was only fired because his superiors were morons. Recklessly endangering your crew by pointlessly navigating into merky conditions is hardly befitting of any commander or captain. COUGH* Titanic COUGH*. No for all intents and purposes Captain Del Rio was a saint. He single handedly in most likelihood saved the crew of The Infinity, but that's just speculation. What I can prove through fact and in game cinematics was that he was charged with command and he executed his duties superbly. He deserves to finish out the series more so than Cortana obviously. My prediction is that he will in fact return as a major protagonist and save MC yet again when he returns. Oh and to carry on further, nobody knew what the Didact was capable of. They had never met a forerunner before then. That had already been said.

This game did three things bungie never did. 1. Introduced book lore. (To the best of my knowledge. 2. "Killed" Cortana 3. Shown Chiefs eyes, something they didn't reveal intentionally. Until now. My only hope is that he doesn't end up like Mega Man. A forty year old man with a hand cannon who by the second game looks like an adolescent (Benjamin Button) and by Mega Man X looks straight anime. My point? Pick one good example of the Chiefs face and don't deviate. EVER. And the Chief unmasked is a very fitting legendary ending. If you didn't think 343 was all in on this game TELL ME how they could've given you more shock and awe. More bang for your buck.

I was very surprised at the lack of argument that ensued after the posted thread. I agree completely with the rebuttle. Very well said. Both of you.

My UNSC is 3 feet long. Uncut. Sniper rifle that is... ^ Winning

Anyone got some good ideas for some custom game ideas? I want to make some for me and my friends but am low on ideas...

I believe this character was right. His motives seemed clear to me and he was obviously a well thought up character. His commands went directly disobeyed and this in a real military wouldn't have flown at all. Master Chief would have been court martialed and chaptered out of the military. Back on subject. I'd like to see more character development for captain del rio in Halo 5. Maybe give him an Arbiter like quality in the next installment? He was obviously given command of the largest UNSC ship in the galaxy for a reason. His fearless leadership does NOT make him a plot device. I also liked his authority that just because he was talking to the guy who single handedly anhilated two alien species that there IS in fact a chain of command and that the Chief isn't above the law. (Or UCMJ in this example) In closing I'd just like to say I want more from Captain Del Rio in Halo 5. I wish he would play a SIGNIFICANT role in the next installment and his part to play in Halo 4 was nothing less than breathtaking. I preferred him to Cortana anyway. And Lord Hood. Perhaps he'll punish that Lasky fellow for being insubordinate in the next game too.

I don't know what you're talking about. Regicide 4 is the greatest game ever. Ahem*

The chief showed his eyes and I went through puberty. Twice.

Well then on the spectrum of Spartans Leonidas would be a negative spartan. He owes spartan somehow.

Lol. Bring back yoink! It's so demasculinizing. He said "mongeese". Rofl. Plural mongoose. Bahahahahahaha. Excellent.
