WORT WORT WORT

[–]Harley017 58 points59 points ago

Related Fact: Did you know that "Wort wort wort" is actually Johnson saying "Go, go, go" but its reversed and the pitch changed?

[–]xb4r7x 18 points19 points ago

I did NOT know that. Learn something new every day! Thanks!

[–]Zazilium 12 points13 points ago

Someone visits halopedian.com, home to the halo encyclopedia!

[–]Harley017 9 points10 points ago

Yep that place is awesome. I can spend a good few hours there reading about halo lore.

[–]Zazilium 2 points3 points ago

Who can't?

[–]DigipatdDigipatd 5 points6 points ago

I remember when that trivia fact was added to Halopedia!

[–]Noturordinaryguy 3 points4 points ago

that fact was fun. A 'fun fact' if you will.

[–]Jellyman64 0 points1 point ago

TIL...

[–]_deffer_deffer 0 points1 point ago

So is it really woOg woOg woOg?

[–]SMB73 3 points4 points ago

Basically. I think the reversal has been sped-up and converted to sound differently though. I have it as my notification ringtone on my phone and it sounds like "WORT".

[–]thekingofcrash7TheKingOfCrash7 1 point2 points ago

dammit the only reason I clicked comments was to say this... too slow again...

[–]Ballistica 1 point2 points ago

same with me, sigh

[–]Burnsey235 21 points22 points ago

This would be fucking terrifying if it was trying to kill you.

[–]Arcon1337 19 points20 points ago

Kinda gives you that bit more respect to that average USNC soldier who's fighting against the covenant.

[–]7urtle 17 points18 points ago

That's incredible.

[–]reese97 14 points15 points ago

This is awesome! Does anybody have more info on this?

EDIT: I did some research and here is a more informative article about it.

[–]TheMagicLlamaMewMan700[S] 3 points4 points ago

Wow thanks for that link! That's a cool article.

[–]SpankyGnarkill 5 points6 points ago

Pete Mander does some AMAZING costume work.

[–]Frederic-104 13 points14 points ago

It's to scale, too!!

I want this so badly.... It looks very well done.

[–]Derpface123 -3 points-2 points ago

It's not to scale, it's fucking huge. I'm pretty sure that an elite's foot isn't 4 times the size of a human head.

[–]Frederic-104 7 points8 points ago

Elites are 2.4 meters tall on average, which dwarfs the average human. That suit looks pretty spot on to me.

They would need rather large feet to keep that massive frame upright.

[–]shikhargptSangheili311 1 point2 points ago

Not only that, Ripa 'Moramee is the second tallest Elite EVER.

[–]JohnYou 9 points10 points ago

How old is this?

[–]1336plus1xx Mr Chief xx 11 points12 points ago

Pretty old, I saw this years ago on some forum

[–]lostrockJoshBoomshot 2 points3 points ago

Indeed. Fairly cool, still.

[–]Marine_Baby 9 points10 points ago

So...now all I can think of is what I would do if one of these was charging after me with an at-least-meter-long plasma sword....

[–]jcos444 5 points6 points ago

Run and/or die.

[–]arkavianx 0 points1 point ago

Shit bricks and mortar

[–]southAfRknCraka 5 points6 points ago

Is this really to scale i never thought of elites being that huge, i don't like the idea of them being gorillas

[–]Ram1r3z 19 points20 points ago

Elites are 8 feet tall, but they don't seem that big because the Chief is 7 feet tall.

[–]redx1105 2 points3 points ago

They're also hunched over.

[–]southAfRknCraka 0 points1 point ago

but then these guys must be just about under 5 ft because he's a good 3-4 ft taller

[–]CookieMan0Forger 1 point2 points ago

Actually no, the costume is slightly off-scale. It's something like a foot taller than it would be to scale.

[–]kentonj 6 points7 points ago

actually the average gorilla is, at stride height, shorter than the average man. Furthermore, yes, Elites are big. So are spartans so that makes up for it a little bit.

[–]fireinthesky7 5 points6 points ago

I was kind of hoping that half the jaws would be cut short.

[–]TheRooster27 6 points7 points ago

Shit's terrifying.

[–]artooken 5 points6 points ago

Blarg honk blarg honk honk blarg.

[–]quartermann 4 points5 points ago

Blarg, honk?

[–]Crinnle 4 points5 points ago

What the fuuuuuuck.

That's incredible, is there video of this somewhere?

[–]DigipatdDigipatd 1 point2 points ago

This is what OP meant to say.

[–]TheMagicLlamaMewMan700[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah thanks getting just a little tired at 3 a.m. Sorry.

[–]TheMagicLlamaMewMan700[S] 0 points1 point ago

There's a link to an article in one of the other comments. There is a nice video there.

[–]Orlynao666 2 points3 points ago

I wonder how much that was altogether to make that epic costume.

[–]The__SkywalkerC Skywalker 1 point2 points ago

Why would anyone downvote this awesomeness?

[–]spicymelonsSpyseeMelons 1 point2 points ago

This would be terrifying to see on the battlefield. I am 6 Feet tall, this would tower 2 feet over me. Knowing my luck, I'd be up against a 9 or 10 footer.

This is actually amusing to me. I was thinking jsut the other day all we see are spartan costumes. I haven't seen any one make a covie or just a regular unsc soldier costume.

[–]Crowebat 1 point2 points ago

I saw a guy cosplaying as a Halo 3 marine back in October, then managed to insult him by saying 'hey look it's a halo guy' because I'm an idiot. There was also someone as an ODST, but this is the first cosplay of a covie I've ever seen.

[–]quartermann 1 point2 points ago

Did anyone else end up on this link after exploring this costume's background a bit? Interesting.

[–]Oaysis 1 point2 points ago

Dem thighs are huge.

[–]kokazakokaza118 1 point2 points ago

I saw that on youtube a few months ago, It was ridic

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

The face is pretty freaky

[–]Hoo7on -1 points0 points ago

Have all my upvotes. Seriously. All of them.

[–]truthytruth -3 points-2 points ago

Shut up and take my money
