I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of an ONI agent in my room. I definitely do not need help.

I live alone at the moment... Am I an ONI Spook????

@@scouttrooper2871 Damn you spooks. Skyrim was fine until you came along.

(They don't know I'm the ONI Agent in my room.)

I meant an ONI Agent

It's story honestly feels like it could've taken place during the Colony Wars.

A friend of mine likes to head-canon that game takes place during The Colony Wars

Especially with how similar some of the ship designs look

With the recent activision acquisition by Microsoft, maybe they could retcon it and make it canon

i always saw the time line in halo going like this and adding all these series War of the ancients Rise of humanity and the Covernant WWZ Colonial Era unitology Era Inserection Era Human-Covernat War era After the war Era the Discovery of Requiem and Reclamation era i even saw all these series, games and movies being part of the same universe Halo, planetside, Starship Troopers, AVP, Lost planet, Dead space, Avatar, Resident Evil, Red Faction, Titanfall, Blade runner ect

@@ed32568 endless over covenant or banished?

@@iiroyalty2519 if they can indeed control time, yes.

That's exactly what we need in the games right now, instead of the ones that are pretty much cash-grabs that are not concerned with campaign.

I think it would be cool if you were a pirate survivor of one of these massacres or one of their descendants taught never to trust the UNSC and had to choose between aid (gear and equipment ) from irreligious Sangheili from the banished and aid from UNSC and end up playing them against each other to make off with the big score.

A horror game where a spartan is killing everyone in your base

Very on point to how real world human governments behave. When they kill civilians, it's just a sad but unavoidable consequence of war. When their enemies kill civilians, it's a barbaric crime that must not go unpunished.

Covenant is still 20x more evil though

Do you forget that the covenant literally genocided a vast majority of the human race? And insurrectionists stupidly KEPT FIGHTING AGAINS THE UNSC WHILE A WAR OF EXTINCTION FOR OUR RACE WAS HAPPENING if the insurrectionists won MANKIND WOULDVE BECOME EXTINCT

That was the SCP Foundation doing experiments on D-Class bro. The whole ONI thing is just a cover up.

Yep

It was up to interpretation, iirc. It wasn't explicitly stated ONI was behind it, Rebecca did theorize that the ONI officer was acting alone. Although the captain of the redhorse didn't buy that. He believed that ONI would wipe their hands clean with him, but even then, its not like all of ONI was behind it, ONI notoriously has different "sections", some more secretive than others.

@@halinaqi2194 OMG, someone actually read the books.

@@halinaqi2194 Fair point. BB did say it best when he described ONI: “Is ONI one happy family? Oh, please. We've got four divisions, officially, and only one of them knows that we've actually got more than that. There's Section Two-made up of psyops and PR, who each kid themselves they're not like the other at all-which tells the lies; Section Zero, which thinks it spies on everyone else, tells lies to Section Two, and thinks it tells lies to Sections One and Three; Section One does stuff we can almost talk about, they interface with other branches; and Section Three does the stuff we can't talk about or else it would have to kill everyone in fascinating and groundbreaking new ways. Technically, you're not a numbered section at all. You're the praetorian guard for CINCONI, in a way, and we just call CINCONI's staff Core Four, although it's actually in Core Five of Bravo-6, and DCS reports directly to it.” Given that, is it really any big surprise when most of the regular troops they work with tend to hate when the ONI “Spooks” arrive on the scene with their mysterious hidden agendas. Odds are pretty good that Smith was thrown under the bus by Section 3 to keep the spotlight off them. Even with the general excessive unsupervised freedom some ONI agents have, doubt he could have pulled that off on his own.

It would be really cool if even some Spartans joined the insurrection, and there would be some Spartan v Spartan combat, with Spartans on each side playing a vital role as the insurrection turns into a full scale civil war.

Spartans dont have the ability to betray humanity (UNSC and ONI in reality) that part of them is taken away during the Spartan program. Loyal to a fault except under extreme circumstances (and I mean EXTREME)@@voomvoom4522

Hell yeah!

Creeped me out thh

Agreed

They’d havoc nuke it

Oh no, we did

@ONIunofficial Hey, wait a second, no one told me there was a second agent here

I’ve always loved the lore more than the games. It’s so interesting how they took first contact, with the Fermi paradox, angle.

Except it didn't. Most insurrectionists that hadn't personally seen or interacted with the Covenant did not even believe they existed and the that the whole Human-Covenant war was UNSC Propaganda.

If I remember correctly, when the UEG formed, governments on the state/country level were kept to maintain control over regions of Earth, but were all under the UEG's control. Countries stayed named as well, as in multiple Halo mediums there are continuous uses of names like Africa, Brazil, Australia etc. Hope this helped.

@@Novahri to add on to that I remembered that a few nations merged together, the only example that is mentioned is the United Republic of North America (URNA) which was formed when Canda, Mexico, and The USA merged into one nation, sometime around 2400 (though that beggs the question if the US constitution is still in power there). Then there are also a bunch of countries where their status is completely unknown (most European, and Asian countries to be specific).

​​@@Novahrithis begs the question of how does power balance work in the UEG ? Is this a somewhat more powerful EU ? Or a pretty dang federal republic? Or just another version of UN that is militized as hell and is supported by the member state ? Even though I personally doubt the federal republic theory as we are shown that the federation still treats outer coloney as complete shit and turns a blind eye towards there problems plus no autonomy A federal republic must have a system in which new state are created deal with the administrative problems Which didn't happen in the timeline So there is a high chance this is a sort of a more unified EU ran by non elected officials that are shown on the basis of merits to support the interests of nations on earth Or this is just a simple copy cat of UN with a lot more power and it's own military but the entire political machinery is still run by UN security council This explains why the name of the "UNSC" is actually "UNSC" As various nations still exist but work together closely as everyone now has a couple of common enemy's UEG more likely us just another version of the European union that was made to deal with issues that come under special jurisdictions of being a capital world like which happens to many states in which capitals of nations are located

Are we the only ones who've noticed so far?

That goes for just about any civilization-building species.

Even then we didn't fully stop lmao

I’d be pissed if they were destroyed by Cortana when she blew up that UNSC building

Literally thought I was losing it

Spartans 2s, who are children kidnapped from their parents, replaced with flash clones, and then trained to butcher their fellow colonist, including their own parents if necessary

Is the what if story about Halo and Metroid? If so can you tell me the video it’s from?

Based off my limited knowledge of halo lore, I was under the impression that the inssurectionists were stationed in the outer colonies. Werent they hurt just as badly, if not worse than the UNSC by thr human covenant war? I doubt they can recover and make any noticeable comeback during the same time the UNSC was recovering.

It is still the same. But my Metroid cross over idea has a surprise twist in it. And a sad outcome why they slaughter outer colonies that try to separate

aw man i forgot the flamethrower exists.

It's kind of ironic since the flamethrower used by the UNSC is apparently meant for clearing brush.

it was justified the aliens deserved it

@@tacticalmeme732 The Arbiter and his comrades didn't seem to think so.

​@@thecatfather857 The Sangheili glassed dozens of planets (sometimes to the point of the very atmosphere being destroyed) and killed billions of civilians, so you can't really blame people for thinking they deserved it. And it was absolutely justified. Look into it more. The mission was started when the war was still on-going, humanity was on the verge of extinction, and the UNSC (who had no allies until the last few weeks or months of the war) was desperate to at least land a big blow to the Covenant military. The mission was launched to kill Sangheili generals and buy humanity some time. It was one world inhabited by the enemy and the last thing Gray Team heard before losing all contact was that the Covenant had found Earth. The Spartans didn't know the war had ended until later and at the time of the nova bombing they thought humanity was about to be wiped out.

Or worse

Honestly wouldn’t doubt it, the banished have literally zero reason to fight innies since they don’t have the zealous prophets telling them to

I don't think any Human faction would willingly ally themselves with aliens that openly eat Human flesh and operate Human meat processing facilities.

I cut the Interplanetary stuff a bit short because I've already made a dedicated vid on it :)

Most likely not. This game is fiction and very little can be taken from it when predicting the future realistically. It's a great story and lore but still sci Fi. In the future people would be self enlightened, long living, and hyper intelligent. The galaxy is big. If you simply don't like someone you can just go somewhere else untouched by anyone. That and in reality if ftl isn't capable then a large centralized power wouldn't exist beyond a solar system at most. It would take hundreds of years to go from star to star. Whole cultures would change in that time. Empires had problems with a lot shorter times like the British empire and age of sail.
