screw that, I want him just to say "What is your major malfunction, maggot?" Whenever he gets an enemy headshot.


But in all seriousness, I'll buy a halo product over my dead body and considering they still sell gamer fuel; I'm sure it will happen some time soon.

@Manly

He did that in Halo 1 also. The talk he gives all the Marines at the beginning when they're getting ready to repel boarders changes.

"We will rip the skulls from their heads and throw them away laughing!" or something like that on legendary i think

@The Dark Wayne

After Dare complements him on blowing up a giant fucking Covenant ship he says: "I know what the ladies like." I hope we hear him say some awesome comments during firefight.

@Cr4sh, Johnson said that to Cortana in Halo 2, not Dare.

It's canon, Sgt. Johnson is invincible in Halo 1 and 2, so it stands to reason he's invincible up until he dies in 3. I heard him say "Buddha" just before he died.

"As Halo players well know, the man is invincible."

No, he's not. He died in Halo 3. His only real "feat" was the fact he was immune to the Flood infection.

Mr Freeze,

I've often wondered the same thing; Apone and Johnson not only look alike, they have both have the same mannerisms (smoking stogies would be one) and say very similar things when it comes to A) motivating troops or B) wiping the floor with non-humans.

They are. Aliens deeply inspired Halo in it's creation such as the Elites (Split Jaw Aliens), Pelicans( The movies dropship), and Johnson himself (The Sarge from Aliens). Also if one was to play Halo Wars the Cyclops looks alot like Ridelys Exo from the first movie.

I was watching Aliens two nights ago and started thinking the same thing. There are TONS of similarities between the two. Not a bad thing in my book.

OH! One big thing I noticed was when the marines (in Aliens) were on the dropship entering the planet's orbit and the pilot (I wish I knew her name) said, "We're in for some chop." There is a campaign section in one of the Halo games named after that line.

It's strange because you could kill him in Halo 1, although he'd keep coming back strangely.

Well see the explanation for that is that Johnson was a part of an ONI experiment to fill the army's ranks with utter badasses. Unfortunately when Reach fell all of the paperwork went with it and the only surviving clones escaped on the Autumn.

It's rumored that he's a SPARTAN-I. Then they realized they needed to start biomodification and training at a young age for best results.

I remember that hilarious secret scene at the end of Halo 2 where Avery and the Arbiter hug each before they die. I recommend everyone to read Contact Harvest. It shows in detail why Avery Johnson is such an awesome character.

pssst: that was Halo 1 not Halo 2. Halo 2 didn't have a legendary ending. (Believe me I tried, actually I think we all tried, that ending sucked)

Damn you pre-order bonuses. Before this I had absolutelly no interest in pre-ordering ODST. Heck I have Halo and Halo 2 on PC, and Halo 3 on 360 and I havn't finished any of them (although ODST does seem more appealing somehow, maybe it's because you aren't f***ing master chef...er, I meen chief, maybe it's because everything seems less...colourful I guess. I did enjoy halo wars though, maybe also due to the lack of the chief). Actually £29.99 isn't that bad from game and gamestation (thats ~$50US to put it in perspective, pretty good, especially when our games tend to cost more than in the US anyway). Shame amazon and play are £10 more expensive :(

Amazon are now £29.99 - & Play will obviously follow suit as they always maintain prices with Amazon.

£29.99 is a great price for ODST - but be sure to pre-order & not purchase instore as the prices tend to be £39.99 instore,
plus you wont get Sgt. Johnson :)

Seriously though, you did not complete HALO 1, 2 or 3?
but you enjoyed HALO WARS :?
Weird.

Yeah, I know what you meen, about not completing halo 1, 2 or 3, and about liking halo wars, but I think I know why. I didn't complete halo 1 bacause my savegame corrupted. I got relativelly far though. I believe I was onto "The Library". 2 and 3 arte because I only got them about a month ago and other things have had my attention.

As for halo wars, I think the main reason is I prefer RTS over FPS, but also because it there is something I really don't like about master chief. Seems too much of a Deus Ex Machina and from what I've played didn't seem to have much character or personality. Might as well have been just a suit of power armour. Theres also something about the atmosphere and soundtrack that I just assossiate with the "best game evar!" attitude a lot of gamers seem to have towards it, but I, as a primarily PC gamer feel that it is pretty mediocre and generic (not so much by console standards, but still). That may sound elitist, but bear with me. PC gamers have been spoiled over the years by so many good FPSs that almost any FPS on a console will feel poor by comparison. That, and depsite what people say, halo does not have a deep storyline, which is something an FPS needs a lont more than an RTS, as RTSs are more disjointed from the characters anyway (although like with FPSs, Halo Wars has nothing on most PC RTSs, especially control-wise - no matter how well it is designed for consoles, you need a mouse or similar pointer (wiimote for example) to fluidly select troops and move them around).
