Naw that's tartarus

@@mustafae5798 Tartarus isn't an elite

@@mustafae5798 naw cause tartarus tried killing homeboy thel vadam like 2 times

TheBluePlague hes got some really funny dialogue tho

@@mustafae5798 Tartarus is an asshole. He genuinely dislikes the Arbiter, and likely the whole Sangheli race.

@Rtas Vadum The Shipmaster I know. That's why I said troops. His troops are Elites. No, not elites. They are Sangheli. I added that he cares for Grunts because so little do. Underestimating one's potential simply because of their race or physical stature has proven to be fatal.

Rtas Vadum The Shipmaster no shit

@Paris Beck Grunts are often used as cannon fodders in the Covenant armed forces, Rtas's grunts are freaking SAS and the elites are Navy Seals, while Rtas and Arbiter alone are the spetznaz

@@wynwyn230 they're in space so SBS(special boat service) and Spetznaz Frogmen are more fitting as reference.

Southhs5115 that’s why the OG Grunt Rebellion was so devastating (arhat and they multiply like rabbits).

In the spin off, he straight up killed a Prophet. R'tas just hate the system to the core and wait for the day Covenant crumble.

Well, he got what he wanted

@@iloveanothermanswives4278 what spinoff

@@SA-px9dz I think he's talking about Halo: Legends

@@yvngjay3925 i dont remember rtas in legends,maybe i didnt watch it all

@El Matadores well good news, its all going back to the originals, voices, sounds, elite designs. Everything

@El Matadores i completely agree, although, lore-wise, i believe humanity is still the underdog, humanity are discarding all newer technology, (including Spartan 4's) and going back to reach for their older technology. And with the Banished hopefully coming in, it'll be classic halo

Even Brute sounds more intelligence than Halo 5 Elites

I liked halo 4 elites but halo 5 nope nope nope

Perfect comment

Nightmare AJ Bushey Someone's Yandere *Wort intensifies*

to me that's the most inspiring and memorable halo moment.. for me that is

Act man head ass boiiiii

@STFS Remzo nice

+talapath that shit was stone cold.

talapath yes

Bridge elite " Brute ships staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber by 3 to 1!" Rtas "then it is an even fight. All cruiser fire at Will, burn their mongrel hides!"

@@rtasvadumee5352 mate i would follow you into battle

Best part: It wasn't. He won without losses

Please don't think I'm stupid, but is it pronounced Oor-tas, or Ar-tas?

Stephen King Ar-tas

It's pronounced Rat-iss

It's Artas Vadoom

Agreed

I agree, the fact that he lost two mandibles while fighting his Flood-infected second in-command is awesome as hell.

TheChildofAuraReborn Damn, i didn't even know that was why he was missing his mandibles. I guess that explains his personal interest in seeing the flood eradicated in Halo 3 :P

i agree 100% with you, and if you don't know there is an upcoming halo novel called ''Shadow of Intent" wich is the super carrier from halo 3 Lead by Rtas 'Vadum, i'm so excited :D

bubbajoe117 when he says, "this stench... I've smelled it before" It is because he had previously in countered the flood and barely survived against his flood second in command who was a swordsman, so in the fight he cut Rtas's mandibles off and criticaly injured him, but was killed.

John Mitchell Correct

Me too buddy

Forward warriors and fear not pain nor death

WHEN I 1ST PLAYED QUARANTINE ZONE I HEARD HIS SPEECH AND WAS LIKE “HELL YEAH LETS DO THIS!” IT WAS AWESOME

Wow, that's unusual! o:

I mean after the fight the grunts put up during the grunt rebellion it wouldn't be surprised if they gained respect from the elites, especially the warriors like Rtas

@@cowboycolts he refers to a bit from the Halo Graphic Novel, Rtas has his unshielded unggoy use his elites for cover to keep them from getting infected by the Flood.

I'm sure he would also value jackle and hunter lives. drone lives maybe too

Yeah but not above him self and other elites he sends them in first when he is unsure of what lies ahead it's said they he fears the flood more than anything and I don't blame him

Soccercrazyigboman badass yes, but not exactly a massive character within sangheili politics. Dont think he’s of the Vadam region anyway, which is where the arbiter is from (thel vadam)

Ethan Thomson グミ his name is Rtas’vadum

Maybe 343 doesn't like his voice actor, Robert Davi. Maybes they thinks his political opinions have been too spicy, and they don't wanna get they supple hand juicy with current events. He is an awesome actor though. He's in predator 2, and there's actually a scene ,at the beginning of the movie, where he sounds just like shipmaster.

He is apart of the Swords of Sangheilios, he is off hunting remnants of the San' Shyuum(Prophets) and most likely Brutes for their betraying the Sangheili.

Steam Powered Maniac 343i is just a bunch of pussies, who cares if the guy had different political opinions.

Realized now that tartarus was upset that rtas wasn't there so he couldn't kill them both at once

Look at the bright side maybe they'll shoot him down

And the arbiter’s head turn like he was biting back a savage retort. It shows he grew to respect Rtas a lot

Also, I feel like R’Tas going with Thel would have actually been safer than staying behind to hold off the flood. Tartarus just wanted to insult the Elites at any given opportunity.

​@@CT-9904-CrosshairThe Brutes wanted to usurp The Elites since New Mombasa after the Slipspace rupture there The Brutes were sent there to kill any surviving Elites left behind after Regret jumped away

Pretty close comparison i guess

Rtas is to the arbiter as the arbiter is to the master chief really

@@milkshakelee1177 yeah I think that more accurate

The Dream team Chief Arbiter Johnson Rtas and Guilty Spark that's a fucking team

@@dirtyharry5096 why guilty spark tho?

The title of Arbiter is one of very high importance but its also a rather Dishonorable title to hold.

Exactly. I only understood what he meant when I got much older. That it doesn’t matter that he can no longer command troops honourably into battle. Whether he was the arbiter or not. He would always put the lives of his comrades over his own. Made me respect Arby so much more

@@ItsMecurial Arby valued all of his comrades lives, and he probably even respected several humans, but he realized the importance of every member of the covenant, probably including the brutes who weren't fighting directly under tartarus.

Tea

@@moo9557 The fact that after the fall of the Covenant, he reached out to a Brute Chieftain to forge peace lends credence to your words, IMO.

Unfortunetelly, They won't

明里朱里朱莉 why wouldn’t they ?

@@emanuelgonzalez1975 because they don't care about that

明里朱里朱莉 they should know by now that people would buy that shit at 60 dollars if it even looked good. Companies now a days are a disappointment every where I look.

When thry remastered halo 2 and CE all they really did is upgrade the graphics

The metal clacking from arbiter armor too

Nope. Not even a mention of his name I'm afraid.

+JK193765 there's hope for halo 6. A lot of people have been suggesting chief and Locke missions. I'd personally like to see blue team and S.O.S missions with Arbiter being the leader, R'tas and then the two Sangheili that fight with you in halo 3 co-op. Uze and Nthro I believe

Imagine what he would look like in the new design

F

@Ping Halo Infinite is going back to the old art style, so maybe things will work out.

@@minatotmawakee9585 k rtas-

I showed this scene to one of my enlisted friends, and now I think I can understand why it hits different

While the arbiter may be the tool of the prophets , Rtas could care less he just wants his elites and those under him to make it out alive

It’s efficient and well-written dialogue, given the context of the scene. I believe previous lore even suggested that Thel was one of Rtas’ heroes, so Thel’s apparent heresy and failure to safeguard the first Halo was a double whammy of disappointment for Rtas.

That makes two of us

Halo 5????

MarquezIndustries From what I've heard, at least the Arbiter will be returning in Halo 5.

Oh my Godi can totally hear his voice now

@@williampoole1742 ok

Makes me sad really. Imagine what they could’ve accomplished by that point had the elites not met the prophets. Reminds me of a quote from Assassins creed 4 “In a world without gold, we might’ve been hero’s!”

Same

Hear hear

That's not what Thel meant by saying 'that makes two of us' Thel meant that he didn't value his own life either, not that he didn't think Rtas's life mattered

@@newwordblues3030 Well I saw it that way. Thinking about it I can see where I had misinterpreted his words.

@@dragoniccrab Yea I thought that way at first too, but when you think about it, it doesn't make sense for Thel to really dislike Rtas, considering he hasn't really done anything besides not have respect for Thel as a person

@@newwordblues3030 yeah.

AdemonlikeYOU You know what CGI stands for, right?

@@mcriggity1131 Point is, the cutscenes in Halo 2 Anniversary are amazing for damn sure

The human characters actually are based on real actors.

@@COGjedi117 ok

“Burn their mongrel hides” is mine.

I blame the rise of Online Multiplayer. I play video games because I want to become a central character in a good story; and yet, it is clear to me that story became second banana to the multiplayer experience since 2011. While there are exceptions, I am still vexed about how I could create a single-player video game with a story as well-crafted as Red Dead Redemption 2, and with gameplay as revolutionary as Super Mario 64, yet have my feet held to the fire for no multiplayer.

Boomers

Two years later and this comment is still on point. Rtas, Johnson, Thel, Lord Hood, Miranda Keyes... Right now I honestly can't think of a character from Halo 4 onward that has the same level of legacy that these other characters had.

@@TheChildofAuraReborn Only one I can think of would be lasky.

Soul of Cinder this is my favourite mission in the game

Garrus Vakarian said it best. "Theres no pep-talk like a military pep-talk."

@@kekawinterstar3000 especially a military pep talk from Rtas Vadum.

It gives anybody chills.

Same brother

*HALO: CULTURE EVOLVED*

It's so epic!

I'm really glad they redid that scene. It's one of my favorite 'Rtas scenes as well, and the remake gave it a lot more power. Another great scene from Halo 3: "Then it is an even fight. All cruisers fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!" Mo-ther-fu-cking awesome.

Agreed,they match real life or better and if you haven't seen the entire halo 2 game movie with these graphics watch it

I love it

Ethan Hoover Those who would break this oath are Heretics, worthy of neither pity, nor mercy!

and mr mohawk said "that coward didn't join you" while sitting safely on his phantom

@@alduinfryup, I really liked this scene because it showed a LOT of character development from Rtas and how he disliked Arbiter at first but basically became his righthand man. His speeches also go incredibly hard

It was the their conviction that gave them strength. Belief is not a concept to be trifled with.

They dont pronounce with there mandibles
