Tai Kaliso was a serious badass and it was a really bad way to show him, especially if you only play the games. Because unless you read the books you wouldn't know that Tai has fought in loads of battles before he died, they made him look like a weak guy who died really quickly. So for all you morons out there who don't read the books i'll have you know that Tai and Marcus have a long history of saving each other's lives all the way back to the days of the Pendulum Wars, he wasn't just some weak fool who got caught then killed himself like a cowerd, lets see how long you last after being torture by the Locust. Tai was known ad the insurmountable by the Gears and in case u don't know what that means it means undefeatable.
