Going into a little more detail, the scene is from the beginning of the game Halo Infinite, a direct sequel to Halo 5, where Master Chief is sought after and finally found adrift in space at the beginning of this game.

After being rescued by a lone crew member, he is confronted with the scene above. The music playing in the background, mixed with a tense silence, makes the scene magical for fans of the franchise.

The Halos exist to protect humanity, and there it is, right in front of him, destroyed, invaded by an alien faction called the Banished.

Master Chief is so remarkable for his conduct, and in this scene, he promptly turns to protect what he must. The Halo.
