The Halo meme franchise spans decades, drawing from the iconic sci-fi universe of Master Chief, the Covenant, and the UNSC. While several specific images have gone viral—most notably the 'Wait, that's illegal' screenshot from Red vs. Blue (an iconic web series using the Halo engine)—the memes generally focus on the stoic nature of Master Chief contrasted with absurd situations. From legendary difficulty frustrations to the comedic physics of Warthogs, Halo memes capture the nostalgia of early 2000s LAN parties and the ongoing evolution of the Xbox flagship series. They are widely used in gaming communities to express shock, determination, or pure nostalgia for the series that redefined the first-person shooter genre.
