@@bacilluscereus1299 It's just... he crashes a lot and I don't blame him for this, but he skips the optimal paths in the beginning, and those are literally right in front of the player
I always get annoyed at those two banshees that shoot down Echo 419. Their cockpits are open, which the devs could have easily fixed by loading bipeds into the vehicles and then setting them so they couldn't take damage.
Yeah, this mission really sucks. Honestly I would probably have remembered it more fondly if it was on foot, but no, I usually remember this as one of the shittiest final missions.
If you’re interested in the backstory of the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, I recommend reading Halo: The Flood. The book follows the campaign but also cuts away to what the other UNSC personnel were doing on the ring, such as establishing a base etc. Echo 419 was operating out of said base rather than just flying around randomly
me and my brother did this on legendary mode earlier today, you only get 5 minutes, it was very stressful, we kept getting so close to the ship and then just dying to a grenade, but after about 7 or so failed attempts we finally made it
Echo-419! She's gone...calculating alternate escape route. The ship's inventory shows one Longsword fighter still docked in Launch Bay 7. If we move now, we can make it!!!
4:58 I can't believe how many times I died doing that jump. Not because I didn't make it but because the fall was too long. + I hit myself with my own warthog at 5:25 pretty much all the time
I haven't done any real gaming in years. For some reason, I just had the urge to play Halo for the first time in 9 years, so I bought a laptop and the Master Chief collection. When I got to the warthog run, I was impressed how well I drove through it. Didn't flip once and made it with over 2 minutes to spare. Just a tip, you typically want to stop accelerating on the jumps.
Because at one point the engineers of the ship thought. Engineer 1: you know what would make this part of the ship hard to navigate? A bunch of twists and jumps... Engineer 2: I totally agree, it's not like anyone will be trying to destroy a giant ring in space or something.
Holy shit. I just stumbled onto this old comment of mine 5 years later. Man, do I feel old now. Those comments made me lol though @halodestroyer490 @Jugo
(I know this is a year old comment) either A: it tracks based on the fastest trail or B (Which is more likely): is that they made Halo CE before the Pillar of Autumn had a definite size in the lore. I'm not entirely sure but I think it's sized was released a after the release of Halo CE and they probably decided not to fuck with it when they remade the game.
I played it today and I couldn't finish it because of the driving mechanics, one time I actually got to the end where you must run to the Pillar and a grenade screwed it all up 😭 I hope I can finish it sometime though
that happened to me before I really don't know how to pass this mission because I feel the like driving part is very hard because of the time limit and overcoming obstacles and avoiding those floods, those laser sentinels and covenant
I think you have to make it to the second part (after Echo get taken down) in a certain ammount of time to trigger the checkpoint. I had to restart many times and eventually i got a checkpoint in the middle, but i notice i did a much better run in the first part. Probably done to avoid screwing part 2 in a looped checkpoint that does not give you enough time. COD4 had a similar thing at the end when there is a countdown in "no fighting in the war room" That middle checkpoint definately helped cause the number of times i died on the big jump and once at the end cause an elite stuck me with a nade... pfff
i can only imagine the feeling the game developers felt after watching this mission play out after so much going on being added in. they created so many memories for so many people. For me to watch it and still take me back to those times is awesome.
Time to nerd out. In Halo: The Fall of Reach, there is a scene in which Master Chief runs a half kilometer, or 500 meters, in 17 seconds. The first segment of this run shows there is a distance of 2.1 Km, and the second shows a distance of 1.4 Km. In total, Chief travels 3.5 km. 17 (time to run 0.5 km) * 7 (3.5 / 0.5) equals 119, meaning that Master Chief would complete this run in 1 minute and 59 seconds. The Warthog takes around 4, so really, there's no point to be using it. He can also jump 3 meters into the air, so he's probably got that big dive at the end with a grenade jump as well. This isn't a criticism of Warthog runs at all, though. They're really fun and a great way to end a game off. This is just an interesting thing I noticed.
If this part were real it will be more epic: The Hog's Wheels and floods burning by the heat, the Masterchief's shields desactivated by the radiation and everything falling and exploding...
Dustin Echoes hijacked a covenant ship and flew it out of orbit, to be later picked up by UNSC scavenger ships. His tale, foreshadowed by that of the legendary Captain John Spartan, has now been told. Godspeed Dustin, godspeed.
as a kid I didnt even recognize 1 echo 4-19 was a pilot and 2 that she died trying to pick us up..... as an adult im like "ECHO 4-19 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Here is my challenge to anyone who can record things like this. Play through The Maw on any difficulty other than easy with these skulls: Iron, Boom, Bandanna, Grunt, Birthday Party, Grunt Funeral. Much MUCH harder than you may think... (Mainly because you have infinite grenades/ rockets and with Boom on you are HIGHLY tempted to use them. However, one misplaced grenade anywhere near you and you're a goner. Also, Carrier forms + Boom + Grenades lying on the ground = Bane of Master Chief)
Trying to get the skull on this mission made the warthog part my least favourite mission. The reason is that the fact theres no checkpoint where the skull is is just annoying. I would end up either falling off while trying to line up the warthog to jump on it. Or when i got out of the warthog when it was lined up it would push me off the edge. Then i would restart at the beginning of the run. Thats why i hate this part.
That's what happened to me the other week during this mission. I used my warthog to jump on top of that railing and then walked ahead to get the skull. I don't remember exactly how I fell off the bridge but I did. And there was me thinking there was a checkpoint at the bridge but it surprised me when it took me back to the part where I had to do the Warthog run again. In my opinion there should be a checkpoint when you come across the bridge.
@IGPXtremeI Maybe thats exactly why. The pillar is a huge ship maybe those hallways were actually more like roads to get from place to place on the ship easily.
anyone recognize the longsword never left the Pillar of Autumn? It was there at the beginning and never left lol. Quite lucky that it didn't get destroyed.
Am I the only one who wonders what the hell were the engineers thinking when they designed the pillar of autumn like that? There’s no clear path for warthogs or scorpions 🤣
I find it hard to believe that a single fighter on board of the Pillar of Autumn would escape the massive crash by just standing idle on the landing pad the whole time but oh well. X3
RevPerdueJosh The music you're hearing is "Suite Autumn" and it probably happend because he avoided a certain area earlier in the level. Somewhere before the engine room.
Always loved how this game is set in 2550 or so, with starships, AIs, shielded combat armors and stuff, and yet the most technological weapons and vehicles humanity can display are: 5.56 assault rifles with a '80s Casio watch screen, shotguns with a spread we taught impossible already in the 1920s, rocket launchers with a 5 km/h flying missile, a jeep with max speed set at 60 km/h and a three barreled 500 rpm gatling gun, a 10 mph tank and so on Also, marines have some sort of augmented reality while carrying a paper armor Except for a few things, according to Halo it appears humanity has found the most comfortable and advanced technology around the 1990s I'm sure the pillar of autumn cafeteria has fridges which produce way too many CFCs
You are doing it wrong at 7:08. It's guaranteed survival if you side step to the left behind the boxes. The flood and Covenant don't attack or follow you there and they have regularly placed gaps that you can use to get board the Longsword with a quick jump. I never die on that last stretch using this technique on Legendary. Glad to share that little bit of info.
HearMeLearn It's worked rather well for me, and saves time. I recommend using it if you wanted to make those detours for the Easter eggs on your way to the Longsword.
HearMeLearn Exactly. None of the enemies engage you on the other side of the partitions, so you don't have to worry about getting shot or random grenade explosions blowing your ass away.
I hope Dustin Echoes made it out safely as well.
