  You can't tell me that "What the fuck is a Shakespeare?" isn't a good line.

  Not gonna lie, I have to give some credit to the writers with their dialogue. "The general doesn't like making martyrs. I'm not so fussy" is SUCH a good line.

  “What the fuck is a shakesphere?” Is a golden quote of stupidity

  I really love how the planets have multiple different environments, as opposed to the usual sci-fi "desert planet, snow planet" etc.

  Its funny how you pointed out that Hakha never showed up in future games because as a kid, I always assumed that the ISA would immediately kill Hakha the moment he stop being useful.

  Breaks my heart how much the “Halo Killer” marketing hurt this series. There’s so much it did that I miss in modern FPS’s: the thoughtful conflict, the absolute grit that it carried from WW2 shooters into a futuristic setting, and the absolute mood that Vasari

  That "re-educated" joke is so good, it keeps catching me off guard.

  I like how they have sev in killzone 2. There’s moments, like after Garza dies and at the end, where he just seems tired. “Tired of it all, the shoulders sag, the far mournful. This wasn’t supposed to be like this” And just him sitting down and just looking so defeated is such a natural reaction to all the madness they went through. Just well done character design I enjoyed 👍🏾

  Rico is literally the most infuriating side character ever

  It's always fun when your brain randomly thinks: "hey remember that game about the space nazi's where they hired actual engineers and architects for Thier designs", and it sends you on a mad search across the internet untill your brain remembers the word "kill".

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsTmkCGYrPk&amp;t=6780">1:53:00</a> was the most touching moment of the KZ series to me. Seeing how broken Sev was and not even flinching at their main Battleship being hit with artillery, it really hit the feels. He doesn&apos;t even twitch an eyebrow, just wrought with pain and exhaustion. From this point forward, Sev takes a major character change and I believe it&apos;s what bonds his relationship with Rico from now to the later series (even tho he caused Garza&apos;s death, kinda). Him and Rico have both lost their comrades who were close to them. It&apos;s no longer about fighting for home, their home is wherever each other is. Sev lost this at this very moment, even with 10+ year old graphics, you can see it in his eyes. As he walks away, you can see this tough brute almost holding back tears.
