Hear me out, what if there was a second gunman
😂😂😂😂
So the Covenant have a modified Focus Rifle that shoots special high damage needle rounds. That is really amazing. The Covenant weapons development is really amazing with how powerful their weapons are.
...the focus rifle is just a placeholder because players are not meant to see it.
game development placeholders and easter eggs are not Canon. this doesnt literally mean that they have a Focus Rifle that shoots a Needler. by this logic, the scarab Plasma rifle from Halo 2 and the Tank gun from Infinite are real inventions by their respective militaries (they obviously are not). if they were real, why not just give every grunt a Scarab Gun?
are you like, 12?
Well the supposed needle projectile seen in the cutscene doesn’t behave like a normal one, is fired by an elite, who don’t normal wield such weapons, and the focus weapon is seen in the cutscene. And yes it is likely that Kat’s shields were down due to the glassing, the other strange occurrences that take place fully visible in the cutscene cannot be ignored. So unless cutscenes themselves can be considered non-canon, it is a reasonable assumption to make that Bungie put these tiny details in the canon bounds of the cutscene in order to hint at the possibilities of a an unidentified covenant “super” weapon.
@@josephnolan3798 my guess with the needle rifle round - they changed a few properties on it to make it slightly more visible/noticeable. that's my theory on why it's different.
sure, it could be the developers intention for it to have been an unknown "needle railgun" of sorts, but imo the simpler answer is the more likely one - bungie made a cool cutscene without thinking much of the implications of what's happened in the scene.
It has to be a prototype sniper rifle that would be finalized in Halo 2. In other words Kat was killed off by a Jackal Sniper.
He was sent by the elite
@Ultrasonicomega, it was an Elite Field Marshall
Behind the cutscenes videos is always so entertaining, as well as informative.
I always assumed the spartans lost shielding from the glassing beams emp and they just haven't come back online yet hence the easy death since in that scenario the sheer amount of radiation would make them want to shield up immediately.
Throughout the mission you still have shields, so i never thought it she disabled it. I always thought since it was a headshot, it was like using the UNSC sniper rifle but covenantized. Kinda like how the video is pointing out.
@@Tallion_of_Gondor I know that I'm saying during the cutscene just before they get to that part the team is standing around helmetless for the most part then a beam lands right next to them I figured that emp'd their shields
@@SnapDaddy96 wouldn’t the cutscene show their shields being broken then? It would go out like it being shot with a charged plasma shot or a melee hit
@@Tallion_of_GondorI guess in this case there was no visual indication of the shields being down but it's the only thing that makes sense apart from it being a more powerful weapon
If she got her arm blown off and replaced it with a robot arm, why not replace her head with a robot head?? 🤔
Or replace her body with a robot body?
@@HollowDog5899 or do both and we have 2 Kats?
No pls you'll wake her up@@kab51_

All the spartan's shields were drained by the EMP blast that shook the city before they headed to the elevators.
The elevators are tough, still got power after an EMP
@@ronaldperry9103not to mention the rest of their armor
@@ronaldperry9103They weren't right next to the blast ig? Bit flimsy tho
It wasn't an empty it was an empty effect from a glassing beam through its radiation which knocks out their shield generators due to taking the brunt of the force but not the elevators due to their depth in the building.
Emp*
The thing that bothers me the most about Kat's death isn't that her shields are down. It's that the Covenant were even in the area to begin with and spotted the Spartans in the first place. That area is being _actively glassed._ There's no reason for any Covenant forces to be there. Even if they were. What are the chances that, in that entire city, they'd run across the Spartans at all, and get in range without being spotted, and manage to get an angle, then manage to land a perfect headshot while the Spartans' shields just happen to be down. The list of coincidences involved is just stupidly long.
And my question is if six just looked up while running could he have saved kat in the first place?
@@Ultrasonicomega How about the other Spartans ahead of them who had turned around and were looking that way already? Also, why doesn't the Elite just headshot Six as he sits immobile in a kill zone without shields? There's no reason for the Elite to be able to dome Kat with a really difficult shot and then not take out Six when presented with the easier shot.
i think the reason why there are covenant forces is that it's the field marshal from winter contingency who ambushed noble team with 2 other zealots, and since noble team were on open comms, the field marshal was probably able to determine their location and then go for a headshot on kat
edit: also, the phantom that appears at the start of pillar of autumn that chases noble team's pelican probably has the field marshall + the zealots who then ambush emile and block you from reaching the mass driver.
@Outcastsage9033, you're right about that.
@@CowCommando them too
My theory is always she just put her helmet on before exiting the elevator and her shields didn't yet activate.
This is probably a prototype halo 2 legendary difficulty jackal sniper rifle. No wonder kat got one-shot
My take from this is that possibly this scene was already set up during development and there might have been a covenant sniper at one point that was later split into the focus rifle and needle rifle and this scene was never adjusted or changed
Yeah cause it was unnoticeable so they didn't bother
this^ so much this
people seem to be taking developer placeholders and thinking of them as canon. the focus rifle is a placeholder, players are not meant to see it. this doesn't literally mean the elite was wielding a focus rifle that shoots needles.
Maybe Covenant was testing out there Specialized Railgun focus rifle that can fire high velocity Needle Rounds which can supercombine faster than normal rounds.
yes. thats exactly what GeneralHeed said. 🙄 i really hate that GeneralHeed suggested this, because game development placeholders and easter eggs are not canon, and he knows that.
Now we have about a million 12 year olds making comments like this.
@@EA_SP0RTCENTER
Lmao why you mad? People are writing what they think is happening in the scene and what they think happened to Kat? Some people are able to draw the same conclusions.
@@midknightfenerir its not your conclusion though, GeneralHeed made it for you and you just decided to parrot it in the comment section.
Heed knows better than to insinuate developer placeholders and easter eggs are conducive to canon game lore.
@@midknightfenerir im mad because you are using your vivid childlike imagination into deluding yourself that a development placeholder is canon, when in all likelihood it's just a Needler Rifle.
remember when master chief took off his helmet at the end of Halo CE? i guess its canon now that his real face is just another Mark V helmet underneath.
see where im going with this?
@@EA_SP0RTCENTER
This is just a fun video speculating about how Kat was killed. Nobody is trying to make the stuff said in the video or comment section canon. You are getting butthurt over nothing. Kat’s death was game breaking. A needle rifle can’t straight up kill a spartan in one shot. Bungie literally skirted all over there own game rules but this plausible theory might be able to put an end to all the speculation One needle shard round can’t kill a spartan but one fired from a modified focus rifle should have the velocity and punching power to penetrate and collapse the energy shielding of the spartan armor. GeneralHeed is a great content creator and I never said my theory is the original. My theory is just a slightly modified version of the one he speculated.
I read somewhere online that the reason kats was so easily killed was because of the ironic character designs, for example. "Jorge said he'd never leave reach." Then ironically dies just off the planet or Carter being the commander/ captain and he goes down with his 'ship.' Just to name a few. But in this case Kat being the 'Tech specialist' who forgot to activate her sheilds after putting on her helmet or that her sheilds malfunctioned after the radiation from the Glassings.
Emile was a savage therefore died as such, June was the scout with the ghillie suit therefore never to be seen again, noble 6 was a loner and found his fate because of it
Hey can you maybe do some more exploring behind locked doors? You did some in halo 2, but can u do some in Halo 1 (CE) halo CE has a lot of missions with locked doors.
Honesty they should have made it so she got 1 shot by the H2 beam rifle or made it so she was about to put on her helmet.
This would really have eliminated all debate lol.
"Oh they domed her with a beam rifle? Dead for sure."
I think Bungie originally had Kat to be killed by a beam rifle. But because it was replaced by the focus rifle, Bungie needed to get creative on how Kat dies
Her shields were not up. They were damaged from the blast. You can even see it in the cutscene.
And then they never used that weapon again lol
The fact they had to make a unique killshot projectile means they knew their method of dispatching Kat was bogus.
I think Jun was supposed to die here: the sniper getting sniped...but they changed it to Kat since Jun barely shows up ..always seperated from everyone
If you know in mission "iron Lady" mw3 2011.if you shoot building before Sandman enter the hotel. You gonna get failed if you shoot the building whatever many you want
Guy breaking this down as if he was batman some world greatest detective type shiii
The shields could've recharged by that
Needle rifle op
Hey thats me
first
Nah the bots beat you
