I’ve always loved the way things are named in the Halo universe. There’s a lot of ships with normal ass names but there’s also names like Forward Unto Dawn and Pillar of Autumn. The coolest one is probably the UNSC In Amber Clad.
The way things are named in Chinese history is similarly cool. Like Spring and Autumn Period.
Amber.
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.
So cool
