"You're sorry? You think you can just apologize for turning my friends to dust?" In this scene from Halo: Judgment, former Arbiter Thel 'Vadam must plant a nuke in the Gravemind's lair with a company of ODSTs: x.com/DominikContigo… #Halo #HaloJudgment #HaloInfinite

The Master Chief and the Arbiter enter the Criterion's private quarters through a crystal hall. "Put aside your arms, Reclaimer. I am no threat to you." (from Halo: Judgment, page 449) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

The Master Chief and the Arbiter are startled by a sudden apparition: a holographic record of the hero taking Alpha Halo's Index. From the shadows comes a mysterious voice: "These rings tell tales to those who would listen..." (from Halo: Judgment, page 449) #Halo #HaloSpotlight

A slender figure gazes into the low, blue flames of a hearth: a composed Forerunner draped in a luxurious combat skin. The Criterion. "Put aside your arms, Reclaimer. I am no threat to you." (from Halo: Judgment, page 450) #Halo #HaloSpotlight

i was 17 at GameStop's midnight launch. my friends and i talked to a drunk dude in a bathrobe for like two hours in line and ended up trading GTs. we all talked straight philosophy that night in Slayer. still play with him sometimes. Halo is truly my generation's luminary café.

The tomb-like cylix opens, softly, with a hiss. Fretful muttering as a Xalanyn uncouples itself. Blinking, surprised, indignant, shorter of limb than the Harbinger, about Jackal-height. THE HERALD. (from Halo: Judgment, page 397) #Halo #HaloSpotlight

Spartan Byron Teague tanks it out, running parallel with the bogies coasting over the plain. He spies an opening, hoofs up a boulder, locks elbows, and dices up the lead Banshee. "That ain't rain you're feeling!" (from Halo: Judgment, page 80) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

Red Team. (What's Douglas shooting at?) #Halo #HaloJudgment

Cortana erupts forth from the terminal in a fume of light, her body purple-hued and ten feet tall. Her eyes, celestial and mournful, consider the heavens. Her ghost rushes him. "ENEMY!" (from Halo: Judgment, page 103) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

Atriox and Ballas board the lift. A Brute starts the slow descent as the storied War Chief and his faithful Legionmaster lapse into quiet talk. "Deukalion died long ago, when he foreswore his oath in his heart." (from Halo: Judgment, page 275) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

Chief alights on the arrival deck of the Sangheili cruiser. Two nearby Elites trade glances—it’s him?—but quickly return their attention to the guest. Chief wryly breaks the ice. "Hi." (from Halo: Judgment, page 116) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

The Kaidon pauses, with a tentative glance at the other Sangheili to request space for personal matters. "There are some who do not value the peace between our peoples. Will you keep our peace?" (from Halo: Judgment, page 117) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

Black veins throb in the Prophet's jaundiced skin. Spittle foams at the seams of his gasping maw. Revelation's eyes open, revealing a myopic pallor and the telltale bloodiness of a nascent Flood infestation. (from Halo: Judgment, page 70) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment

The sleeping Elite Councilor cringes. Its jaws skitter, crunching into a semblance of place, as a breathless, immortal, and seemingly disembodied voice gutters from within its bowels. "His Emissary is come." (from Halo: Judgment, page 70) #Halo #HaloInfinite #HaloJudgment
