You didn’t mention the music!

The Tribute music and it’s Halo 2 Counterparts (as well as Bits and Pieces from ODST) is THE saddest music I have ever heard. It fits the part where it is played: The storm has passed, but we will always remember every moment of it, and cherish those who died to save us.

Excellent series of articles! They offered many insights that hadn’t occurred to me.

Regarding the memorial at the end. To me it seemed kind of small and insignificant considering the billions that died on earth alone (only 200 million humans left alive). They could cover the ENTIRE hillside with photos and/or names of the fallen and it still wouldn’t be enough room.

Wow super effort that, really made me think hard not only of the marines in Halo 3 but also the marines with the smallest of parts in the game the marines that would follow you into dark corners of halo 1 the marines of halo 2 that would never release their trigger on an enemy.

If you look closely at the bottom of the entire memorial towards the middle
you will see an old picture from “halo the untold story” in it there are 6 marines all in black and white imagery the Sargent on
the front is Pete stacker.

Halo forever!

also some friends of mine say it’s a pelican fin but I think it’s a skyhawk fin like the one master chief escapes in on halo combat evolved.halo 3 odst is coming out 9/22/09 can’t wait

I have never had a problem with any article on this site but you skipped my favorite line from this eulogy and one that carries a lot of power. “But let us never forget, those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return.” -Hood. Its a great line and you should stick it in here.

All of your reviews have been exceptionally well done, Cocopjojo. Many thanks.

While the first time the Arbiter said, “Were it so easy,” he seemed to me a little peeved. “Trust me, it’s not that easy to kill him or me. We’ve both tried. A LOT.”
This time he seemed almost as if he would laugh were the occaision not so somber. That final “Were…” comes across to me as an almost amused comment at Hood’s reluctant belief. “The Spartan? Dead? Ha! Do you really think he’s that easy to kill? Ha! What makes you think THIS, after everything else, did him in?”

Hey
i just wanted to point something out… They stuck a rank insignia underneath the etching “117″.
I checked and it matches exactly with the current United States Navy “Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy” rank .
Considering the UNSC is the United Nations Space Command, which is basically the navy, this matches perfectly.
This was someones final way of showing respect to the Master Chief, someone that could never be marked as KIA, someone that saved all of humanity…
Pity he’s off, lost in space somewhere… I rekon humanity could do with a bit of a morale boost.

Well… thats about all from me.

Oh and everyone… BELIEVE!

Okay, I have read all of the articles here and have come to a conclusion. It may be a bit farfetched but… Cortana mentions it could be years before anyone picks up there signal beacon, noting that they are a long way from Earth. But are they as far away as other planets… like the Elite’s homeworld? Obviously The Arbiter does not accept the MC is dead, so just maybe he could pick up the signal, would it not be interesting that the MC’s only backup were to be Elites? Might just work right?

@Furious D
The novel is Ghosts of Onyx. The idea was to make Spartans these mythical savior figures, and by never listing them as KIA the UNSC promoted this idea that Spartans can’t die. I never noticed it before, but that probably is the reason the UNSC wouldn’t/couldn’t acknowledge the Chief officially.

@cocopjojo, great job with all these write ups. I’ve really enjoyed them.
