I believe in Halo 5 you can run infinitely.
Yeah all the covenant got rekt
They diddd omg. I always thought it was weird how Elites are the equivalents of Spartans in their extreme training, yet Elites get their asses kicked kicked in cutscenes like this.
Oh, and I meant like how grunts don't really want to fight. How they just run around the battlefield when their leader dies, and cower when you're about to ram them. And how they just run away. They're enslaved to fight and they don't want to, they just want to care for their families and live their lives. Or maybe I'm just thinking too into it.
Nah you're not overthinking it, the Grunts' story truly is sad, and you can't help but feel bad for the little dudes </3
I didn't know Elites were that strong? Brutes piss me off more anyways
Yeah, Elites take their combat way more seriously. They put honor in combat really high up too. They never retreat, because it's dishonorable, and they'd rather die fighting than retreat. Being injured and showing weakness is also very dishonorable, too. That's why they go berserk when they get injured (shown when they rage when you break their sheilds in Halo: Reach). During the grunt rebelion, all the grunts that survived were treated incredibly well by the Elites. They were granted high Covenant ranks, and were treated basically equal to Elites (to despite to the Brutes and even some Elites, because grunts are just the cannon fodders of the Covenant). I don't think this is in any of the games I've played, but they take honor so seriously, that if an Elite is critically injured, incapacitated, or captured, the only acceptable recourse is to commit ritualistic suicide, ensuring that the Elite's honor is kept intact. This is so important to Elites, that even if they were unable of killing themselves, they would get the assistance of other Elites to do so.
Here's more about the Honor about getting injured that I found on the wiki.
Despite their martial nature, the Sangheili have reservations to the spilling of one's own blood. This is an extension of the belief that the blood of a warrior is his essence (honor); thus, to spill one's blood is to lose one's honor. As a result, in Sangheili culture, doctors are seen by many as the lowest members of society because they "make [their] living slicing and causing another Sangheili to bleed without honor." This meant that the only 'honorable' way for a Sangheili to be injured or bleed out is from combat with the enemy. This belief also makes visiting a doctor very shameful for most Sangheili. Some Sangheili viewed this as wasteful, especially after the war when manpower was depleted.
It is believed among the Sangheili that a weapon is only to be drawn if it is to be used, because a drawn weapon "demands blood."
OH AND **** BRUTE CHEIFTANS. THEY TAKE 2 SPARTAN LASER SHOTS TO DIE. ONE LASER
ONLY TAKES DOWN THEIR SHEILD! LIKE WTF HOW ARE THEY SO ****ING POWERFUL AAAA
