"Were it so easy.."
"Hard to believe he's dead."
"Were it so easy."
What does that phrase mean when the arbiter says it in that context? I just beat Halo 3 for the 478293747282837271st time and realized that I never payed attention to what that saying really means.

feeeeeels.

Arbiter is saying if only it was that easy to believe the Chief is dead.

In the context of that cutscene, the Arbiter is basically saying in a vague way - "I'm not so sure about that." After all the Chief has been through... after all the unbelievable exploits the Arbiter has witnessed the Chief take part in since his emergence as an infamous enemy of the Covenant, and now after becoming his ally in an attempt to thwart the Flood(which was obviously very difficult for both of them), he doesn't believe that this was simply the end for the Chief - He does not believe that this event was able to snuff out someone with as great a legacy as the Master Chief. The statement both acknowledges the Arbiter's disbelief in the Chief's death, and pays homage to his legacy and die-hard nature.

Edited by TheLashghost: 2/25/2013 12:19:33 AMIt is a reference to the beginning of the game when Johnson says "I got enough to worry about without you two trying to kill each other" and the Arbiter repllies "Were it so easy". He says that at the end to emphasize how unbelievable the Chief's "death" is and how he has some doubt to the death.

I think he means were it so easy for the Master Chief to die. I think the Arbiter knew he was alive, but just didn't want to tell the humans.

3 RepliesAdmiral Hood was saying it's hard to believe MC is dead, Arbiter is saying "were it so easy" because he knows that he probably survived because of all the things he's been through and his abilities. Basically the Arbiter is saying Chief isn't dead...which is more the reason why they need to re-unite in Halo 5.

He was saying "if it were that easy to kill him, he'd be dead."
