    Halo had great names for ships. The UNSC were a mix of epic or cheeky or some kind of reference to a place or a battle. The Covenant names were a bunch of imperious sounding religious themes. Must have been fun sitting around the writers room coming up with all those.

      I’ve never played Halo but I love the lore. I fucking almost cried watching the Believe ads for Halo 3.

      I hate how the fictional universe of Halo was sort of not taken as seriously, like what happens with a lot of video games. Like, a complete remake would be cool.

        You should get the Master Chief Collection and play it on like, Normal difficulty. That one contains the first 6 games. Real breeze at that difficulty, no frustration and almost no dying/reloading, makes it a tour of lots of cool shit and lore.

      I’m looking up some Covenant ship names.

      • Song of Retribution
      • Breath of Annihilation
      • Shadow of Intent
      • Eternal Reward
      • Truth and Reconciliation (we all know this one)
      • Spear of Light
      • Infinite Sacrifice
      • Supplication of Purity
      • Ardent Prayer
      • Adherent

      So cool
