@@madness0169 Nah man, I just played through the game on Legendary and the only way you'd have any ammo in that BR is if you didn't use it at all and killed everything else with other weapons. The BR doesn't even get you through the first 2 rooms.
Soldiers aren’t supposed to throw out their issue weapons so being that he is a solider machine basically, I think he would follow those rules to a t, even with no ammo
This cutscene gets me every time Nothing hurts more than watching someone you love just disappear right in front of your eyes It hurts me more that Master Chief can't fully express his feelings because of his strict military training and his desensitization to anything traumatic
The only thing that really hurts is seeing the godamn ancient alien demigod with telekinesis that can (aparently) dematerialize objects at will in orange light die to a single granade, I've fought Brutes WAY tougher than that
If Master Chief was going to die, I was accepting this as one of the very few ways he would go. Looking up at earth and accepting that he would be sacrificing everything for her.
1:16 Just to clarify: when he did that gripping move to Chief, the Didact was basically crushing him including his armor and disabling his shields permanently. If Chief would've been crushed instantly, the Didact would just drop his corpse in the Composing Well beneath them. It goes to show how powerful the Didact truly is.
@@madness0169 It just never made sense to me why he didn't just instantly kill Chief during their first meeting, like he was the one the lure him there and observed Chief rampaging his way to the controls that set him free, there should've been no reason for him to even talk to Chief, just kill the now useless soldier and move on.

Hey Melissa you're just wrong. Buck WAS good enough to become a Spartan, and when they improved the program to allow candidates to join at will he was one of the first to sign up.
@Melissa Waterman The story was bad, but in no way did Buck hate Spartans. Afterall, he wouldn't have joined the Spartan program if he did despise them. I dunno about you, but "See you in Hell" is a snarky "goodbye" soldiers say to one another when they die. War is a nasty thing, and is considered to be one of the greatest sins of mankind, so it's no wonder Buck would say that to Noble 6.
Uh more like the Didact as humanity was supposed to be in place of forerunners as Librarian wanted. And he actually has Didacts traits like Cortana has Librarians from Halsey.
Don't insult him like that. The ltd of admarils may be a excellent strategist but he was a heartless fool . He tried to help the flood annihilate the forerunners.
Excuse me? Having Cortana turn into a super duper evil spaec dictator was the most besterst desishun that they cod have ever done. Two abd there going back to the bad part of halo (aka 1-3) 😨😨👿💩😱😬
He was ready to sacrifice himself and mustered up the courage to detonate a nuke in his hands, all the bravery and strength behind that war cry made it badass.
GearfulGamer: So basically, Humanity, led by Master Chief Spartan 117 (John), the Arbiter and the Swords of Sanghelios (The Elites) will be entering the final batlles vs the Didact, his followers, and armies in an all out apocalyptic, galactic war. Is that basically it?
I hope they spend a while making this one, and making it fucking good. Halo 5 hit a lot of problems during development. They took time that should've been spent on a main entry in the series on developing a new engine, which should've been done during a spin-off, and Microsoft changing the story to Cortana in a likely attempt to sell more mid-development. We now have Halo Wars 2, which has brought back a lot of classic styles at least (my favorites being the marines and battle rifle), and has become a part of Halo 5's story, as shown during it's end. It also brought the Lesser Ark, Spirit of Fire, and Installation 04C(the replacement for 04B, which John destroyed in Halo 3) back into play. We have a "contained" and composed Ur-Didact from the comics, Infinity is at fuck-all anywhere, and a theorized "copy" or "corrupted fragment" of Cortana that's likely suffering from the logic plague, which would've been given to her by the Gravemind in-between her staying on High Charity, and her rescue in Halo 3, in control of the Forerunner Domain. Despite Halo 5 being a fuck-up, Halo 6 has a lot of ground it can cover and a lot of potential. We just have to hope they work hard as hell on the writing, Microsoft doesn't intervene, and we get an epic climax to this chapter of the Halo saga. I'm personally optimistic, as it appears they've admitted to their mistakes on Halo 5, but still wary. Edit: Typos
Of Vader didnt use force choke or force “hold” chief like the Didact did, Chief would molly whop that nigga in a fight... even though Darth Vader is fast and a good fighter chief is way better... but with all his power Vader is to much

dah500 Ok, good. I'd hate to see the leader of the Forerunner military die from one grenade after taking out an entire city from a ship that makes the SW Imperial ships look like toothpicks. Thanks!
+NyxorTheUltimate While I agree, when you think of how powerful he is in canon and then look at trying to put that into a boss fight, it made more sense to put him in a disadvantage and have a QTE. And even then he wasn't killed. In fact I've heard people saying that he's still alive in canon.
+Tom Lasky No. Their campaigns were on the same level though Halo 5's campaign actually could've been better if Microsoft didn't rush the shit out of 343.
I love that it shows chief's desperation for cortana to come with him and not leaving her behind even though he knows fully well that she's not going to make it and she's sacrificing herself to save chief. Overall it show's chief's humanity and showing him having a heart and not as some cold machine
When was he ever portrayed as a cold machine though throughout the series? Sure he rarely talks, but nothing about his body language shows he's without feelings, just that he's in control of the situation. There's clear fear in him when you first fight the Flood as he's glancing around his shoulder and wildly aiming his gun when that Marine fell on him, knowing that he's being watched. Halo: The Flood even goes into deeper detail how scared he was and how much he was relying on all that training to steel his nerves.
@@leoncoben6983 I wasn't saying he was ever portrayed as a machine, it's mainly how 343's era of spartans eraly one were kinda seen as machines or more distant, and the themes of humanity.
@@leoncoben6983 in hindsight I did but I didn't mean it like he was cold, it's just here chief is probably at his most emotional in the games, if we're including books yeah no the flood freaked him out but it's the video games here
@@santiagogarcia1606 Okay, I just find it so weird when people attack or discredit Chief's character. I mean yeah, he is a bit of a blank state, but I always found that was just how he is. Quiet and stoic, but that doesn't mean he's a bad character. It's just annoying how there's been a trend to over complexify every single character and give them 50 tons of emotional baggage and hate on simple characters that are just as great without that garbage. It's because people keep trying to make everything overly complex and deep that we get shit like Zack Synder's Superman, just yuck.
This cut scene is the only one I've ever seen that made me cry. I feel bad for the Chief. I hope Cortana comes back in HALO 5. It wouldn't be like HALO if she wasn't around. :(
Ya know...Playing the campaign for the first time as a young completely clueless child, I never understood the ending. I never understood why Chief said something about how Cortana said something about a machine. Playing it again thou now...it’s so different.. that one line just...makes me cry. Halo 4...while not perfect, it definitely is something I’ll remember.
@@Ntwadumela89 If it hadn't retconned Halo 3's biggest twist I would agree, but between the Didact and the huge amount of information dump with the Librarian the story is severely worse for it. The fact this game has the fewest missions baffles me even more, at the very least it could've had 10 and they could've used those 2 extra missions to better pace themselves.
You know... if Didact just turned off the energy bridge... what could Chief possibly do? Also strangely, Master Chief looked like he was being held by the Didact way farther away from the edge of the bridge. So he should have fallen anyway.
I wonder how I went from one of the most difficult enemies to the weakest in a matter of hours in this human made game. And this I ask, is why am I presumably 'killed' when the player pressed a single button. This thought, disturbs me.
I don't compare halo games since they're on such a higher level when it comes to storytelling compared to the rest of the current FPS market. I really like the stories cause they fit with the lore, I just miss the old art style.
Why do Lasky and the Chief seem to have no memories of meeting each other in Forward Unto Dawn? I get that Chief might've seen a lot of moments like that but Lasky acts as if the spartan is just another regular Jo, rather than the first spartan he ever heard of who saved them from the first covenant attack he ever experienced. Kinda a significant thing you'd think.
+Tom Donovan The only thing that says different is when lasky says "feels kinda odd for you to call me sir" but I thought that was more because chief is earths greatest hero, rather than because they met before. I mean he had to tell chief he went to corbulo, never once did either of them mention anything about it their meeting there.
+Tom Donovan Thats just how I feel about it anyway. I remember when I played it feeling slightly disappointing that Forward Unto Dawn had almost no relation except to be a bit of forgotten backstory for Lasky.
+protercool Earlier in the game, Lasky tells him "I never thought I'd see you again." I think Lasky bringing up Corbulo Academy was him trying to see if the chief would remember him.
"Your compassion for mankind is misplaced" What if he's right? What if the chief realizes this in h5 and that's why they're hunting him? After all the chief isn't really human, he became fully engineered by the librarian during h4, and I'm guessing the chief was the Librarians backup should the Didact refuse to help the humans ascend.
***** He's an augmented human now. Not only from the spartan program, but he's immune to the composer and he grew in size from the Librarians augmentation.
I know the Didact comes back in a comic or something, but it seems like a perfect setup to have him fall into the composer beam and be turned into one of the Prometheans. Textbook irony... is that what happened in the comic/book? This "death" feels appropriate for a secondary boss or a main henchman, not someone like the biggest baddie in the galaxy. Why wouldn't you kill him with the nuke?
This was the most anticlimactic Boss ever. Come on 343. At least make us fight the Didact with waves phases and a health bar etc. I was new to Halo 4 when I played this, but after going back to complete this game on Legendary, I was still disappointed.
The Chief losing Cortana is going to have repercussions for sure. When the Spartans were commissioned, the Chief was found to have sociopathic tendencies; that's why Cortana was given to him. Now that she's gone, he's truly in danger of going off the deep end.
Right. Plus, the monologue by Didact in the end very strongly suggests that he's neither dead, nor has he even begun to get serious about dominating humanity.
I hope 343 industries knows that McMaster chief and laskey know each other. Chief saved him and then laskey rescued him when Cortana sent the beacon out
Also, in one of the books (forgot the name), it described john with brown eyes, brown hair, and a gap between his two front teeth when they kidnapped him. Hes not blond.
Alrighty I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if they had just ended at Halo 4, I would have been perfectly content. We lose Cortana, chief finally gets a bit of development to show that he is indeed human, and we defeat the enemy behind the enemy. It’s a perfect setup. And then Halo 5 came along and wrecked what had been set up to be a great ending to a great franchise.
You get to see his eyes and in one of the halo 4 trailers (i think it was a trailer) they had the chief without a helmet they just never showed his entire face... unless it was another spartan 2
On ething that wil probobly figure into that is that the Chief will be dealing with everyone he lost: all his Spartans, Jacob and Miranda Keyes, Sgt. Johnson, and of course Cortana.
Actually Sam died at age 14, and later when John fully had his squad Fred became his best friend along with Kelly and Linda. I guess you can say Sam "was his best friend" but as time past he made new ones.
"Humanities imprisonment; is kindness."
One of the best lines in any game I've ever heard.
He's basically telling Chief:
"Humanity is now our greatest threat, in which I shall end it for good!"
the didact had a lot of good lines
I was your 117th like
But kindness is humanity.
@@kamalkumar7978 he would say "That's what your race believes" or something like that
master cheif can survive a nuclear bomb but cant swim
His armor is about the same weight as a truck soo....

Cortana shielded him from the bomb with her control of the hardlight systems of the ship. Also, game mechanics.

@@MaplePatriot I mean, he's still badass. Just not because he's tall 😂
And then they retconned it in Halo 5 when the Locke and Chief were practically the same height in that fight of theirs.
If Master Chief was going to die, I was accepting this as one of the very few ways he would go. Looking up at earth and accepting that he would be sacrificing everything for her.
Can you imagine having to punch a nuke to detonate it thinking “well I’m gonna save the world by sacrificing myself, this is it then....”
as jorge said before doing the same thing, "we all make it sooner or later"
Jorge: Tell 'em to make it count!
The fact that he called master chief warrior at the end after calling him human over and over again is proof that he finally learned to respect chief

If Chief would've been crushed instantly, the Didact would just drop his corpse in the Composing Well beneath them. It goes to show how powerful the Didact truly is.
They were setting him up to be a Darkseid type threat. Its ashame how hard they dropped the ball. Could’ve been the villain for the entire new saga.

+Tom Donovan The only thing that says different is when lasky says "feels kinda odd for you to call me sir" but I thought that was more because chief is earths greatest hero, rather than because they met before.
I mean he had to tell chief he went to corbulo, never once did either of them mention anything about it their meeting there.
+Tom Donovan Thats just how I feel about it anyway. I remember when I played it feeling slightly disappointing that Forward Unto Dawn had almost no relation except to be a bit of forgotten backstory for Lasky.
+protercool Earlier in the game, Lasky tells him "I never thought I'd see you again." I think Lasky bringing up Corbulo Academy was him trying to see if the chief would remember him.
dDShocktrooper Maybe that's true, I must have missed that earlier line.
I've been in the denial stage of the Didact being dead since I finished the game back in November
he isnt dead. he appeared again in the comics, where he was defeated again, but still not dead. he is "contained" for now
One of the best endings
RIP Cortana
Halo 4 wasn't the best game, but it had some great Cinematic Cutscenes and Great sound effects
"Your compassion for mankind is misplaced" What if he's right? What if the chief realizes this in h5 and that's why they're hunting him? After all the chief isn't really human, he became fully engineered by the librarian during h4, and I'm guessing the chief was the Librarians backup should the Didact refuse to help the humans ascend.
Andy B You're overthinking
Andy B please read the books for god sake
***** He's an augmented human now. Not only from the spartan program, but he's immune to the composer and he grew in size from the Librarians augmentation.
+Andy B What do you mean? Wheres the source of his augmentations from the library growing him?
@@richthug5369 Just fucking look at the ending of Halo 4, he is twice his size
Yeah, I'm convinced by the way the Didact just slipped out of the focus that he isn't gone.
Anybody looking back nowadays, impressed as fuck with those graphics? Nearly a decade ago and it looks like a modern flagship AAA
Come then, warrior. Have your resolution.
It’s been ages since I’ve played a game as good as halo 4
Play literally any halo game before halo 4, halo 4 was trash my guy
goo tar at least it was better than halo 5
Have you played Halo CE, 2, 3, ODST, or Reach?
Now that was a awesome defeat
Placing a grenade on the enemy to blow up
Love this
Master chief the man that blew a nuclear bomb with his hands and survived to tell the tale
2:08 that visual was trippy as fuck when I was a kid playing this
It's almost like the Composer had its own gravity...
3:18 - It should've cut to white, not faded to white. Why would we hear a blast while we can still see the warhead?
Derek Parent Can you stop complaining? Do you enjoy anything or do you have to be over analytical?
Is it not a valid criticism?
Nah he's right, it looks terrible fading like that.
lol the beam at 2:10 looks like it's directed at Lake Havasu City AZ!
I know the Didact comes back in a comic or something, but it seems like a perfect setup to have him fall into the composer beam and be turned into one of the Prometheans. Textbook irony... is that what happened in the comic/book? This "death" feels appropriate for a secondary boss or a main henchman, not someone like the biggest baddie in the galaxy. Why wouldn't you kill him with the nuke?
This was the most anticlimactic Boss ever. Come on 343. At least make us fight the Didact with waves phases and a health bar etc. I was new to Halo 4 when I played this, but after going back to complete this game on Legendary, I was still disappointed.
I hope Halo 6's ending level will please you.
1:42 That quote
this is perfect for the guardian vs darkness in d2 as a cutscene
tnx CORTANA I protect all cost existence can only exist when you understand existence
I know but like you said it's just his eyes and I to hope that's as far as they go.
You can hear chief get emotional
You are the most hardworking troll I have ever seen.
Halo was before Cod.
@LoonyCrow I agree. But I get the feeling both the Flood and the Prometheans will be the least of the UNSC's worries late in the saga...
Well.. in legendary enging.. you see his face.. well his eyes.. and I hope.. thats as far..as they ever get..
that ending with the didact talking is strongly believed to be the "speech" he was giving during the human forerunner war long ago.
Only guy in the universe that manually detonate a fucking nuke and still alive
The Chief losing Cortana is going to have repercussions for sure. When the Spartans were commissioned, the Chief was found to have sociopathic tendencies; that's why Cortana was given to him. Now that she's gone, he's truly in danger of going off the deep end.
amitakartok Actually, all Spartans were "recognized" to have sociopathic tendencies.
That's strange because typically when they have been injected with that blue liquid enhancer stuff and they become Spartans, their eyes turn blue.
Right. Plus, the monologue by Didact in the end very strongly suggests that he's neither dead, nor has he even begun to get serious about dominating humanity.
Man that Composer sound effects are awesome. Is there any way where to find it?...
Everyone who read the books already had an idea of what he looked like anyway. All 343 did is go off of how the books described him.
I hope 343 industries knows that McMaster chief and laskey know each other. Chief saved him and then laskey rescued him when Cortana sent the beacon out
Also, in one of the books (forgot the name), it described john with brown eyes, brown hair, and a gap between his two front teeth when they kidnapped him. Hes not blond.
Assuming that they weren't already all wiped out, precursors will most likely be the arch-protagonist, considering the Flood originated from them.
I love this game
I like how chief just palms the fuck outta the nuke lol...
Chief would have gone through a lot of trauma in the 30 seconds before detonation...
Cortana: you did it like always do.
* Legendary Difficulty enters the chat
9:19 Chief's reaction. "Wait... what?"
Halo 4 is so underrated
he had the fucking force
when cortana died i was speechless for like 2 hours just thinking "what the fuck"
she's not dead, watch "Halo 5 guardians" and witness the beginning of a new war...
+daniel shaw ya I haven't got around to playing halo 5 yet :( but I really wanna! good to know she didn't die!!!!
TheLostPigeon then all I have to say is brace yourself because not trying to spoil anything but your going to wish she did...
+daniel shaw I'll play it soon bro I got you
I liked the Didact.He's like a dinosaur-man from the future which,makes no sense at all but is cool af.
greeny mc armor punched a fucking nuke and lived
What an end, and sparten ops did so well to set up the next game, only for all of it to be thrown out in Halo 5. A waste...
Alrighty I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if they had just ended at Halo 4, I would have been perfectly content. We lose Cortana, chief finally gets a bit of development to show that he is indeed human, and we defeat the enemy behind the enemy. It’s a perfect setup. And then Halo 5 came along and wrecked what had been set up to be a great ending to a great franchise.
117k views... dont mess it up people!
You get to see his eyes and in one of the halo 4 trailers (i think it was a trailer) they had the chief without a helmet they just never showed his entire face... unless it was another spartan 2
Eine Kartoffel I’m pretty sure that was the legendary ending to this campaign
On ething that wil probobly figure into that is that the Chief will be dealing with everyone he lost: all his Spartans, Jacob and Miranda Keyes, Sgt. Johnson, and of course Cortana.
Greeny McArmor punched a f****ing nuke and survived.
He never takes his bloody helmet off
WHY DON'T I REMEMBER MORE THAN HALF THE CUTSCENE
Master chief in his suit weighs half a tonne. And he is holding on by one hand.
Well, Spartans were meant to be able to lift well over their own weight with ease.
At least now we can say that chief punched a nuke
And was saved by Cortana
My guy didact using the damn force on chief 🤣
I don't think the Diadact is dead, either... that "death" felt way too abrupt...
Actually Sam died at age 14, and later when John fully had his squad Fred became his best friend along with Kelly and Linda. I guess you can say Sam "was his best friend" but as time past he made new ones.
My dude voldemort is wildin
