7 Heroic Video Game Sacrifices That Meant NOTHING
7. Jorge - Halo: Reach
Now let's address the elephant in the room that's wearing metallic green armor, technically all of the heroic sacrifices in Halo: Reach come to mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things seeing as Reach definitely falls and the Covenant are very much not slowed down in their sweeping advance at all, however the cream of the crap exits definitely belongs to Jorge.
I say this because the poor fella truly believes that his sacrifice is going to save Reach and that by taking down the Covenant Supercarrier that's bothering the planet, the Covenant will be a thing of the past.
As he urges his team to leave and manually detonates a monstrous techno bomb bigger than No Limit by 2 Unlimited, you can almost feel the smug radiating off of him as he's like "take that middle school teacher who said I'd not amount to anything as I'm saving the bloody human race", however upon detonating he has about, I don't know, seven or eight seconds of glory before the rest of the Covenant forces arrive?
Whew, that was almost TOO much peace and quiet in a Halo game, I was getting worried there!
Bless you, Jorge, you did your best, but your best was....well pathetic.
