Imagine if when we see Atriox again he says something to the Chief like, "You're no fun. The last human I went to war with had a much better sense of humor."

[jetpizzashere]

“You counter by invading my personal space.”
“I’ll retaliate by violating the Geneva Conventions.”

[bgcvetan]

If they weren't mortal enemies i can see them being roommates.

[Betito]

Despite being jokey I like to think that this how their battles usually go in lore
Cutter: comes up with a complex and clever solution that involves multiple strategies
Atriox: Brute forces the fuck out of it

[bluesimine]

I remember someone saying that the armrest is really unsanitary because it's a plane armrest
Atriox is a Brute, they eat people
I think he's alright

[Trotty]

This is the best thing ever. I'm glad they're willing to have fun with their characters like this.

“Crushing your will to live insuring victory”
- Captain Cutter - 2017

I love how the range of these trailers went from two wise grizzled leaders commanding their armies into battle to them just being petty at eachother

[Zeknif]

Master Chief: I've taken the activation index you need to releasing the Endless.

Atriox: I licked it.

Weapon: Oh my god, it's so sticky... HOW!!! IT'S DIGITAL!!!

Atriox: FULL TONGUE!!!

[Veed.l]

It's wholesome seeing Atriox cooperating with Cutter instead of eating people and tearing them apart.

[Synthmilk]

Man, I miss this advertising campaign. Also, that Atriox animatronic was brilliant, the subtle movements in the facial expression really sold it.

[Starwarsgeek-]

lost my shit when he said "you will lose your will to live" funny stuff man.

[SnipeMD]

I feel like Atriox was bluffing about licking the armrest and Cutter should have called it.

Cutter had the armrest for however much time prior to getting the drink. Assuming he licked the armrest before Cutter even sat down, he shouldn't be so hasty to move it as he had his arm there for a non-negligeble amount of time.

Also Cutter wins by default because Atriox now has COVID

[lozm]

Atriox commenting implies either that cutter was discussing his plans out loud or Atriox can read minds and still chooses to lick the armrest

[InvictusByz]

Atriox was right though. He had the middle seat, so as consolation for the most cramped seat he gets the most armrest access. Other seating positions have other benefits.

[battlesheep]

It seems Atriox is a student of Sun Tzu "battles are won before they start"

[Revan]

I like how Atriox seems to plan ahead more, but Cutter reacts very quickly

[zigzaghyena]

How did I never see any of these ads? I watched the launch trailer, I bought the game, I followed the release. Never saw a damn one of these until this week.

[Judgewrath]

Everyone knows that the middle gets both arm rests. Outside gets one rest and extra legroom. Window gets one and a view. Middle gets both rests.

[sonicspeedjtornio]

One thing I've just noticed in both of these trailers atriox always wins in the ends
