| ''Oohrah'' or ''Oorah'' is a phrase used uniquely by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] to show excitement or approval in a certain situation.
| |
| | |
| == Summary ==
| |
| Historically, it originated from the [[USMC|United States Marine Corps]] of the 20th and 21st Centuries, but has apparently been retained as a part of the UNSC Marine Corps culture and phrases.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', '''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| == Usage in the [[Halo Universe]] ==
| |
| === ''[[Halo 2]]'' ===
| |
| ''Oohrah'' has been heard in ''[[Halo 2]]'', in first cutscene of the level [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]. It was said by two [[Pelican]] pilots in response to [[Sgt. Johnson]]'s orders.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', level ''[[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]'' first cutscene</ref>
| |
| | |
| === ''[[Halo 3]]'' ===
| |
| ''Oohrah'' has also been heard in ''[[Halo 3]]'', just after the first cutscene of the level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]. It was said by [[ODST]]s in [[John-117]]'s Pelican, seconds before disembarking.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| *''Oohrah'' may have been said by Marines in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', on the levels [[The Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|The Truth and Reconciliation]], and [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]] just before exiting a Pelican.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref>
| |
| *''Oohrah'' seems to be said only before combat begins, just before jumping from a [[Pelican]] dropship into combat, or after receiving favorable orders.
