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
