Halo: 10 Best Moments

6. Rescuing Cortana (Halo 3)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEnWjrjJpDc Bungie truly nailed how much meaning there was behind the relationship of Master Chief and Cortana in this scene. Even the most hardened men (Don't take that the wrong way), will feel slightly emotional at this one. The original trilogy was in many ways a partnership between the Chief and Cortana, or rather the Shield and the Sword, as they were referred to. Cortana was the brains, and the Chief was the hunter, and together they formed what I considered to be a sibling-like bond that contributes to this emotional moment.

5. That's A Lot of Ships (Halo 2)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEnWjrjJpDc Before this moment, we'd never seen more than a handful of ships in one scene, and this truly drives home just how big the Covenant fleet really this, and how utterly screwed you are to be beneath them. Notably, it's also the first time we kill a Prophet, causing scepticism about how immortal and god-like the Hierarchs really are.
