I was literally in Afghanistan in the Army when 3 came out. We had super slow internet so we wired up 4 xbox 360's and played 16 player Lan. We had cat5 cable run over walkways and into the wood huts we called b-huts. And had old tube tv's that were way to small for four way split screen, but we made it work. Those were good times for sure. I would play sniper only 2v2 matches with my room mate before we deployed. Halo really has brought together many people over the years.
removed my like, that count is too perfect
That’s amazing haha, and thank you for your service!
@@KzRDOCS
And I ruined it.
Nice, and thank you for your service
sounds awesome
God, I would do anything to go back in time and play this game during it's prime again.
MrFRNTIK 14 year olds trash talking each other were the best oml
MrFRNTIK you and me both
MrFRNTIK I would had at least liked that Bungie would had made the VidMaster Challenge BEFORE H3: ODST came out.
The fact that it was shipped with the full multiplayer experience for H3 (with this I mean that it included a disc for multiplayer only with both Mythic and Legendary map packs plus the base ones) was a nice motivator though.
MrFRNTIK I feel u. This makes you want to get people and go on it. I would love to see a remastered of this
I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED )));
We took Halo for granted. Bungie was too kind. Too generous.
@Nagger Free to play games release new maps for free all the time. The nickel and diming of Halo and COD on consoles where a few maps routinely would be sold for 20 bucks was a dark age and it started with Xbox Live, a subscription service you pay to... then play peer 2 peer multiplayer?? What exactly are you paying for? A friends list? Patch downloads? That's like if Steam was a subscription service. It's absurd. But console kids like myself were dumb enough to support that business model and teenagers have unfortunately not gotten smarter since the early 2000s. The games industry however has become smarter and now they also exploit gambling addiction tendencies and the few suckers who will just pay any price for anything connected to a thing they have emotional attachment to. Remember how I mentioned free to play? These last two groups combined are paying the bills for everyone else in free to play games now. Gamblers and fanatics. "There's a new business model" = "a new class of sucker has been identified".
When you gazed apon the light of halo were you blinded?
As much as you might not like it, or absolutely love it, Minecraft is still straying away form this business model, and one you buy the game, you get the game, no extra shit unless you want it.
@@forasago You can't really blame Bungie tho, I don't think they foresaw all that BS when they signed up with Microsoft
Halo 3 wasn't meant to release in 2007, it was accidentally released exactly 10 years early. In all seriousness tho, for a 2007 title the game looks like it wasn't actually made at the time, but in the future, and sent back in time by future Bungie. I speak as a person who does a little graphics development, when I saw Halo 3 in the video above from my new perspective, my mind has been blown. Convincing normal mapping, specular lighting, high-resolution textures, AO (?), HDR, it looks *SICK* !
"alright man, see you tomorrow."

Hans everyday damn that hurts
Dam I literally said that to one my friends I used to run h3 with when I was 10 I'm 20 now and he was on 11 years ago halo 3.😒
Now look at the Xbox Live friends list, literally everyone is playing fortnite
@@shadowx4491 fortnite is complete shite
@cheems1839 I know
YES!!! This game was legendary. RIP Halo 2001-2010
САLIMBO ГГГ ever since Reach Halo has been dead R.I.P.
jugulator95 reach was great
САLIMBO ГГГ
Reach was the best.
transformersloverjon reach was awful
jugulator95 Too be honest with Reach you either loved it or hated it, and Reach was my personal favourite Halo. Went out with a bang.
Jesus this game is ten years old... Starry Night still gives me chills to this day.
Deathpool That was an awesome trailer.
Deathpool
I feel so goddamn old.
Isiskos It's okay We have come wise
one of the best trailers
Still another 8 months before it's 10 years old.
I can still remember the night Halo 3 released. My mom driving a few towns over from my own to a Wal-Mart because every other store was sold out. I stayed up all night, beat the campaign, slept, and the following day gathered with 15 of my friends and had a massive LAN party for about 40 hours straight. (My friends dad, who hosted us all, was in love with Halo as well.) Nothing beats those memories. It's sad that everything has gone online, with no split screen in any game. Kids now-a-days will never have these kinds of memories. Long live Halo as the greatest FPS to have ever graced this planet.
shawn mclean
Literally nothing will ever match the Halo 2/3 LAN parties. Best, most competitive and fun time in my life. Everything is so corporate and stale now.
shawn mclean amen brother
I would love to be able to have had LAN parties (I'm only 16) but living where I live, that's not really possible. I understand what you're saying but if online play hadn't become as popular as it did, I wouldn't have been able to experience Halo properly, there was just nobody in my school who was really that interested, let alone 8 or 16 people in my area, plus I live in a very remote place. I understand that there is a sort of emotional disconnection online but I've met so many friends through online play in Halo and I think in the end it's a good thing because although they're not as popular anymore, there is still the capability of LAN play in Halo. At least there was in Reach, can't remember if there was in 4, and I skipped 5.
Shawn did you do gymnastics at stumfps gymnastic center back in the day?
@shawn mclean real shit man. This game brings back some many memories late nights and friendships. I dont think ive bothered to go to a midnight release for a game, exept halo 3. Wish xbox wasnt so anti social, let alone any game.
All biases aside, I feel like this game was virtually the peak of Xbox Live gaming in its entirety.
You... Are.. EVERYWHERE!!!!!
And mw2
ur annoying
This was the peak of gaming in general
It was

I wish I can go back to 2007 and relive the nostalgia of Halo 3, notepad tutorials with obnoxious music, and Machinima was actually about machinimas.
what did PC save
I grab a bag of doritos, a can of cherry coke, I turn on my Xbox and I'm already stoked, because I know nobody can stand up to me, when I'm dominating in the world of Halo 3.
Machinima was life in those days

Really enjoyed this video series, my dude. That like/dislike ratio speaks for itself. Fantastic work!
Also, those Believe Ads are unmatched. I've never seen any video game ad so unique or captivating before. Like, who would expect a diorama, sad piano music? It's powerful stuff, man.

You also really enjoy micro transaction games that you pre order. Fuck off crap man...

The Act Man hi i watch ur videos
Fuck yeah
Haedox holy crap didn't think I'd see you here
Like your vids man
Lol hey look it's Haedox
Didn't know Haedox was a Halo fan?!
It's a regular family reunion
Haedox likes Halo? Sick
would honestly give up everything to relive the halo 3 years.. :(
I wouldnt. While I massively enjoyed the game and I admit I have never been so addicted to a game, I was also at the same time very depressed and my social life was fucked.
me too man :'(
I just Graduated.. i would go back in an instant not caring of all the hard work I did just to play halo 3 in its prime again ☹️
How about all the halo years? So amazing.
Nah I fucking hated middle school. I have very fond memories of the game and playing with those past friends of mine tho. College and work really drains. That’s why I like watching vids like this which take me back to those specific memories
I'm watching this video 7 years after it was posted. Ultimately, 17 years after Halo 3's release in 2007 and the nostalgia factor is hurting my soul. Like, it's almost painful, the "we didn't know what we had," kind of thing.
Halo 3 was literally one of the biggest games of it's time.
I'm into this.
cannonfodder4000 Pretty sure the box was the same size as all the other games.

I sincerely feel sorry for anyone who missed Halo 3. Honestly the best years of my life in terms of gaming. I'll never feel the same feeling that i felt during my time in Halo 3.
I made real life friends online that I still talk to today 10 years ago, just from playing some video game with a shitty Australian internet connection.
Yep, me too. Me and my cousin made a friend on Halo 3 from Chicago that we travel to and visit with 3 or 4 times a year now.
Jillis anyone who ever wants to play custom games add me! Batman is Jesus
Egores House I missed the hype. But now I’m older, and I’ve played the shite out of this game and I love it even more than mario galaxy 2
I just now started watching these kind of videos. Friend of mine mentioned Halo in a Siege match. This game...after so many years won't compare to anything I have played. The time I spent with friends and the shit we did will always be with me. This is one game I definitely miss so much.
I was 7 when I first played it and it was amazing going to my neighbors house to rp or just beat the shit out of each-other on slayer with 4 player split screen, then when I turned 10 I got my Xbox 360 which I got Black Ops 1 and Halo Reach, but Reach didn't feel right and I then got Halo 3 Odst complete edition or whatever and spent 250 hours of Halo 3
I don't have anything in the eye, I'm just crying...
It's fucking halo man, it's okay to cry.
Finish the fight, Remember Reach!
Me to brother
Jesus, don't make me cry too :')
Great now you guys are making cry!

I feel like it hurts so much because this game really showed how rich gaming can be as a shared experience and the industry as a whole has failed to make anything like it since.
The quote of 'forget game of the year, this is game of the decade' actually turned out to be true
Not really, considering games almost immediately following it outsold it by a huge margin.
@@DBZHGWgamer I don't think they were on about sales...
DivideByZero not about sales pal
I'm not crying you're crying.
I am a grown-ass 28 year old adult man and I have a tear in my eye after watching this video.
I miss this game and those times in my life so much and it's easy to get caught up in your day to day life as an adult and forget about experiences like those that Halo 3 brought us. But then you stumble across this video and it's a perfect tribute to everything Halo 3 was and how it made us feel. Jakey highlighted exactly how deserving Halo 3 and Bungie were of all the hype and fame surrounding this game, but he also inadvertently reminded us that we can never go back to those days that we now realise we took for granted at the time. All we can do now is cherish the memories and try not to let them slip from our minds.
Thank you Bungie for the times - thank you Jakey for the reminder. Those were were some of the best times and memories of my life.
p.s. I actually cried while writing this wtf 😫😂
As a grown-ass 27 year old man......same bro! The community that surrounded Halo 3 was nothing short of amazing. The creativity and trash talking blended perfectly with the laughs and memories. I've said before that if I could go back in time for a day, I'd choose a Friday/Saturday night in 2008 and play Halo 3 with all my buddies again.
I'm 28 now and I feel you home slice
Thank you all for the memories we shared
I am 31 years old. The days and nights spent playing halo 2 and halo 3 were some of the best times of my youth. I am so happy i got to experience those two games in their prime. There will never be anything close to replicating what Halo 2 and Halo 3 accomplished. I wish i could've somehow realized that those were the good ol days. Because they really were. But none of us realized as we were just having so much fun playing all the customs games, mlg matches, big team battle matches, splitscreen campaign, getting the achivements, glitching out of the maps, all that stuff. I love reading thru all these comments. Everyone in their early to mid 30s experienced this same thing. It truly was wonderful and enjoyed playing with everyone!
28 bro you’re still a kid 😂
This game wasn't just a game. It had something much more. A thriving community. It was the pinnacle of gaming I think. Plus the game offered more than most others - Forge, custom games, theater, matchmaking, campaign. Miss it and i miss the halo community.
they say you never know good times until they are done. Halo 3 was a good game. Halo 3 Forever
Richard Chris who’s cutting onions
@@Alex-px9oy you know it's on the mcc right? A lot of people still play it. Plus there's halo online. Yes the old days are gone but there are still people who want that feeling again and it's pretty easy to find at least something close. I refuse to let OG halo die and I still play it regularly, I just wish I had friends to play with lol

We took the time we had with these games for granted. No game series made me feel this way. Playing games with all my new friends in Discord will never compare to the days of Jenga and Smear the blank in Halo 3 custom games. We’re all just dust in the wind...
I didnt take it for granted. maybe you did
I was grateful every time I turned it on
I did not like your comment, 117 is perfect already.
And I sadly have to agree. Nostalgia hits me hard when I think about Halo 3
Those times... all lost like tears in the rain
God my heart hurts... I'm only 25 but this is the biggest part of my childhood.. thank you halo 3 and thank you everyone I probably ran into in 2007.. you guys are my life ❤
I think the best feature for Halo 3 was the menu screen.
CorkScrewDood amazing i took it for granted now when i hear it there are tears.
I often go to the Halo 3 menu screen to relax, and to listen to Marty's good ol' orchestral masterpiece. Absolute bliss.
i used to sit for hours listening to that menu
CorkScrewDood oh my goodness, I swear...
( °-°)
I can speak of so many fond memories of Halo CE and Halo 2...but...
Halo 3. So many memories of this game.
This game came out right when I started college. One of my best friends moved across the country for school, but we both had 360s and this game. I remember playing on Xbox Live with him daily that year and not sleeping and sometimes skipping classes cause we could literally not lose. Seeing the world map (really cool feature) change as we saw parts of the world fall asleep and wake up. Then that winter break all of us got together for a weekend with 3 360s at a house and had an all night 8 player Halo session on Xbox Live literally decimating the social playlist competition while talking about all the memories we built up so far in college. No other game DOTA or Counter-Strike ever had a memory like this. Fuck I miss this game.
Kevin Kim it was the summer i left high school. i had my first serious girlfriend who lived round the corner from my best friend i would go round to hers get laid then go back to his get stoned eat pizza and play this game till 5am every day of the holidays. amazing time, if i went home id play with him on live but nothing beat watching him get 50 in mlg with his team.
marx117
My perfect day would include getting laid and then playing halo 3 haha
But also going for a long run before hand on a nice sunny day. I miss the glory days of halo 3
my gf loves halo
stranger then the flood you are one lucky man then
When Halo 3 came out I was 8 years old replaying the Halo:CE Campaign because that's all I had. I wish I had the experience to play Halo 3 when it was in its prime.
Times were so much simpler back then...
Carrotyfungus na
😭😭😭
Its not even that, Halo 3 just managed to set the bar to an impossible standard that games are still trying to reach to this day. Halo 3 and Bungie were trail blazers for the genre in a wealth of different ways, and games today just have most of this shit by default but not because its their original idea.
ah man i feel so sad watching old halo 3 stuff :( i miss those days so much.
Yes they were indeed, I remember online gaming was still in it's early phase when this came out
Remember back then when everyone lied that they own the recon helmet
I swear I had it! I swear!
Omg yes 😂
@Oscar Strokosz lol remember arbiter?
Remember all the fake 'get recon' things people would post in their file shares?
This really shows me how much AAA gaming has gone down the drain in terms of innovation. Halo 3 LANS was the pinnacle of my entire high school experience. I miss it.
DatK9 You aint ever lied. Id kill to go back
So true. It's always makes me look back at last gen and realize all the amazing games and the innovation and passion developers had. Now, there's no new amazing IP's being released like halo was at the time, and microtransactions have forever ruined gaming while developers only focus on innovating monetization on their games rather than the game itself. Depressing.
I'm lucky me and my friends love halo and we all still play halo 3 and halo reach together we're all under 18 but God I do wish I could experience a larger lan party but I'm happy I can still play it
little bro that sounds amazing you guys still playing together. My Xbox 360 friends are all sleeping probably 😭😞 been like 5 years since I’ve been on but my Xbox probably too old to turn on anymore rip
datkaynineguy AAAAAAAAAA
I'll never forget the day Halo 3 came out. My mom got it for me at the midnight release so I could play it in the morning for a little bit before I went to school. It's one of those few moments in life I'll never ever forget. Love this game to death.
Your mom loves you
i cried. i miss this game a lot. a lot a lot. 10 years have gone by holy shit
What's even crazier is that as of today, it has been 13 years since the last time a new Halo game played the Halo theme (not including mcc) and with the new infinite trailer that streak has been broken

halo 3 was the most social game I ever played. I remember being invited into someone's custom game and being blown away.
Halo 3 and World of Warcraft were super social back then. Agreed, those were far more social than most games
Honestly, this video made me feel pretty depressed. Man I really miss those days.
Gaming isn't the same now
Boy do we have good news for you
@@JJ-mm4pw well whats the good news then
@@superlaw66 The Master Chief Collection along with Halo Reach is releasing on Steam (PC)
@@JJ-mm4pw THIS. I cannot fucking wait.
Halo 3 was such a treat all around and definitely hit at the right time. It released about 2 years into the 360's lifecycle, online play was just becoming a standard for consoles around that time so you already had people wired up to the Xbox Live service, and you could tell the developers truly felt like this would be the final Halo game in the series to advance the story so they put all they had at the time into the single and multiplayer.
It seems like with releases after Halo 3 each one has attempted to recapture that spirit and hype that Halo 3 had both with gamers and non-gamers alike. Every single Halo game has sold well but none really managed to recapture that pre-launch hype, excitement, and uniformity that Halo 3 had. I even remember for at least the first week the game was out every single person on my friends list was on Halo 3, with the one exception being that guy on Halo 2 because he couldn't buy an Xbox 360. Never seen a friends list of people who regularly play different games all on one game at the same time since that time period.
Cool it must've been awesome seeing 99 friends on halo 3 haha
Not 100% of them were online but having a friends list that was >25 people all playing the same game was legendary. It really was a great time to be a gamer. Everyone was up to do anything as well since there wasn't any real grinding in that game (unless you count "grinding" ranks to become a general in ranked). You would send out a mass XboxLIVE message to your whole friends list saying that you're goignt o put together a good custom game lobby and you'd see the lobby fill up in a heartbeat it seemed. Then you're rotate hosts because "one guy has a really cool map for Drive or Die", and play for hours while people dropped in and out between games. It really was the golden age of online gaming.
Sure gaming never stopped growing even to this day but back then it was the perfect mix of popularity and quality. Now it's all popularity and little to no quality (in comparison).
MrMario2011
MrMario2011 even I was excited for Halo 3 as a child who never played the first two and couldn't even get the game until early '08, but it is to this day one of my favorite games if not my games.
Dude ,the Custom games community was insane back then, I had a full friendlist of halo 3 players too, miss that you have no idea
Sometimes I'd just sit at the loading screen and just listen to the music. Still gives me goosebumps.
The music at 15:58 NEVER ceases to make me feel emotional somehow. It just sends years of memories flooding back
I don't even have memories with the OG Halo trilogy and the music makes me want to tear up.
I get chills just thinking about all the chills it gives me
This video sent me into a crippling depression. RIP halo 3
Ryan Mitchell Bruh I wanted to cry
What seriously gets me sad and depressive is when I was young I sold halo 3 for a game I was missing a couple dollars to buy. And halo 3 was still worth 20$ I think I sold it for 20$ and never bought it again. I've screwed my childhood! And I absolutely have no clue why I did that!!! How stupid was I?
Ryan Mitchell crippling depression isn't a noun
yes it si
Zescio it can be
Watching this video gives me butterflies.
this comment has 117 likes lol!
I still find Halo 3 extremely beautiful.
This game is Legend.
I feel sad for younger people who didnt experience this game at his prime.
I missed out on 3 because i didnt have an xbox i got reach when it was in its prime and I loved it after reach it became trash to me
Halo 3 really was just an absolute treat.
Everything was of the highest quality and designed with the gamer in mind. It stank of passion and love. From both the developers and the community.
Shame how that isn't that standard these days. We're lucky if a game comes out that has half the quality this game had 10 fucking years ago. I don't think I've seen a game come out in recent years that felt like it had some absolute passion and drive behind it. At least not in the shooter genre.
DemonGrenade274 this exactly. Every now and then I get on Halo 3 with a slight hope that the community somehow would comeback.
I honestly believe that is because gaming has become such a big industry. It feels like all the super mainstream games are designed around sucking out every possible dollar from the consumer. Just look at companies like EA and Activision. Just like the music industry, all the super passionate stuff, the games made with love, are found when you look a bit deeper. We've seen great platformers and RPG's and stuff, but the shooter market is almost completely dominated by this corporate bullshit.
I would say TitanFall 2 just about falls into that category. Not Halo 3 levels of excellence, but the game was made with gamers in mind, not revenue. Man I'm gonna miss Respawn :(
Pick up doom 2016 game is good. Well at least the single player is. the multiplayer has gotten better since launch.
maybe you haven't played titanfall 2
My only regret as a gamer was not being alive long enough at the time to have the sentience to know what Halo 3 was during its peak years.
I'm sorry for you. It truly was the greatest ever and unfortunately will never be again.
It was something that not a movie, or a game from now has done, or maybe will not be able to do. The hype and popularity was very huge, from the first game to the third game, it was able to maintain it's grip on gamers for many years when it reigned.
I feel for you, so many fond memories of friday nights with the boys sinking our teeth deep into halo forge and online multiplayer, days I will never see again.
i cant stop saying "hot boys and gamer girls." and my family is starting to worry
This video made me sad many many many fond memories from halo 3, people used to talk, gaming used to be fun, creativity was ample, now i slave my life away at a job. I will never forget the happiness halo 3 brought me
Dukenukem812 Agreed. I'm 27 now and I tear up Every time bro. I remember people playing ranked matches trying to get that 50.
Oliver x
I remember getting my first 50 in team doubles, then the next goal was to get a 50 in everything. It took me forever! I couldn’t tell you how many accounts I burned through to finally get good enough to get a 50 in every playlist. Man, I miss those days. Had a lot of people I called friends

@4T1K5O Congratulations on your 24 months of life on planet earth. Kiddo.
Halo 3 finished the fight :',(
thats ok. because it was a damn good fight.
The end of a legendary trilogy
Jakey likes that final "Believe" Ad so much he has about 5 minutes of footage of it across his videos, the Ad is less than 3 minutes by itself
I had gotten an Xbox to play Halo CE. Then Halo 2 came out and I loved it so much, but when I finally finished the game, that cliffhanger ending, instead of making me mad, made me SOO excited for what was next.
I got caught up in some financial trouble and I stopped buying entertainment stuff like that. I saw the Xbox 360 come out and I kept walking past stores with the 360 just staring at me through the window. Then Halo 3 came out. All of my friends had it and I played split-screen with them on their 360s.
YEARS passed and I still had never truly played Halo 3. The only way I could get close to Halo 3 was to keep playing Halo 2. I played that game so much I memorized every level, every cutscene, every skull location, all the fun "get out of the map" kind of things, but alas I never got to "FINISH THE FIGHT" and as a result, I sort of left the series. I missed out on ODST, Reach, Halo 4, and now Halo 5. I came back to look at your videos. And it seriously almost made me cry.
I've got a good job now, and my debts are gone! I decided that the 360 wasn't worth it since I had missed out on the golden age. So I bought myself an Xbox One S. (Not brand new, I got it for $200). I purchased the Master Chief Collection and I am having so much fun right now. I finally got to experience the Halo 3 awesomeness! All the levels are so beautiful and the story is moving. Halo is definitely one of my favorite franchises, and I would never have got to experience the best one if you never made these videos!
Thanks Jake!
Wyatt Putnam I'm deeply sorry to hear that... for me, it'd be less painful to be burned alive then to of never experienced the Halo 3 Days, having experienced them and truly understanding the greatness of such a creation. *sigh* "Were it so easy"
Same thing happened to me man, after watching this video it gave me a glimpse into what the experience would be like, at least we still got to experience with mates, thats all that really matters :)
Halo 3 TryHard Go back to your cave Troll
Halo 3 TryHard No one can ever live the "authentic real" experience again, don't you get it? 360 or one, Halo 3s social community was the only of its kind, the joy of signing in and seeing a million people online, the glory days are over and many get emotional and struggle with that at times. It's a shame, not a single organization in the gaming industry has even come close to replicating what the experience was like, especially as an 9 year old back in 2007, some of thee BEST fucking days of my life, ya hear? Do you live under a fucking rock or something? Shit
Halo 3 TryHard How long have you been playing Halo? And how deep into 3 were you in its glory days? I don't mean any disrespect to my fellow Halo veterans.
The Halo trilogy is such a beautiful franchise - between the music, the story, the visuals. I miss those games, my dude.
God, Halo 3 beings me back to the start of middle school. Had just moved to a new city and didn't know anyone. A new friend I made at school suggested getting a 360 after years of playstation and nintendo consoles.After getting one for my birthday and a copy of halo 3 I played with my new friend and his friends online and was in aw at everything.
The hours of playing custom zombie games, making videos and talking/laughing over the headset was amazing and helped getting over my anxiety of moving. Thanks for all the memories Robert, really miss those days...
I doubt anyone will read this to the end, but this is my Halo 3 story.
I remember growing up with Halo, my cousin and I had PS2s, but one day, he bought an Xbox at the swapmeet and we bought the first game. We beat it and we knew we had to go buy the second one. We scrapped our savings and took my aunt's car to Gamestop despite the fact that I was only around 11 and he was 15, so neither of us had driver licenses. We were mind blown by how amazing the game was.
Then came the 360 era in 2005 and we both saved up money for a year and bought Christmas bundles the next year, switching over platforms because we knew Halo 3 was only a matter of time.
So 2007 came and we got Halo 3, we went from a used, shared Xbox with no internet connection to making sure we had Xbox 360s and Gold memberships. It was beautiful, we made so many friends. I met people from all around the world and grew really close to a mix of people. One day I was in a party with one guy and two other kids that I found during matchmaking. After a few matches, the two kids and the other guy were split on what to do next, each side wanted to do something different playlist. I was stuck in the middle of it and was still new just trying to make new friends. I ended up going with the guy by himself and we ended up becoming close friends, his nickname was Jof. Eventually, I met some of his friends and he met some of mine, so we ended up creating a new group of friends, Mr. Snipe Snipe, Sharkman, Blake, Rampage (actual gamertags were more creative), along with my friend Extended JV and my cousin, I Am Legend. I was just called by my first name. Together, we hosted so many fun custom games and campaign playthroughs. We had a lot of other people come and go, but it was always our group at the end. Me and Mr. Snipe Snipe became the best within our group and were usually the ones that would team up with the rest of the crew to take out strong clans. Sharkman was the guy that would be AFK because he would be on the phone with his girlfriend. Blake was depressed and was bullied at school, so he would sometimes take it out on us, but we understood and stayed friends with him anyway. Rampage was our Caboose, usually costing us the match when we would lose and laugh afterwards. Extended JV was usually by my side since I introduced him to everyone. I Am Legend was almost as good as me and Snipe Snipe, but took the lead in swat because that was his specialty. We also played ODST and Wars as they came out, as it was still considered Halo 3 days. Eventually we all transferred over to Reach and it felt like we moved into the new era together. We continued the same memories for all of Reach's peak.
Unfortunately, we all grew out of it eventually. I graduated high school and focused on school, my cousin got serious about his future, sharkman's relationship got serious and focused on that. One by one, we all split up. Eventually, I locked myself out of my account and lost access. I was so upset that I sold my Xbox.
After five long years of no video games and missing out on the new halo era, I bought an Xbox one. I was hoping to get together like old times, but I've been unable to get anyone from the old gang back together. My cousin is now a parent, my friend and I got into a bitter dispute during the five year gap, and now everyone I knew has been offline for years. I haven't even been able to find or friend request the rest of the group because no one uses their accounts anymore. I thought the MCC would help create new memories, but no one seems to be on matchmaking, at least not for Halo 3. I've found more people on Reach than Halo 3. It seems like there's so few people left on old Halo that the network has a hard time creating matches without an hour in between. I now have my current Xbox sitting in my college dorm,I go on it every once in a while because I found out how to get Gold for free and sometimes I play the campaigns by myself just to relive an era long gone. I've kept my emblem from ODST as a tribute to the days of Halo 3, ODST, Wars, and Reach. I don't play 4 or 5 because it feels like everyone is already settled in and I'm just a relic of the past. I'm silently waiting for Halo Infinite, hope that I get a fresh start along with everyone else.
I went ahead and read your entire story. You really encapsulated the feeling. I stopped after Halo 4 came out, graduated high-school in 2012 and transitioned back to PC gaming. In 2017, I got out my trusty ‘06 Xbox 360 and logged back to Xbox Live, just to see. I won’t lie, seeing all of my 63 gaming friends Offline for so long that it doesn’t say since when, really hit harder than I would have expected. Nostalgia is great, but sometimes reminiscing over old memories and compare them to your current life can be depressing. You and I are both adults now, we have bills, responsibilities, jobs, etc.. It’s hard to picture the old days, when my biggest worry was how fast I could get home to get on Halo 3 to play as much as possible after homework. We had no worries, no stress, no responsibilities, it was a great time, and I’m eternally grateful to Bungie for providing me with those endless happy memories. Thanks for your story man, I loved it, made me think of my old gaming buddies. Hope you’re doing well !
I'm touched by your story man I've never played a halo game before I'm gonna get the master chief collection when it comes out on pc
Read your entire story man. Thank you for sharing it! Just know that you're not alone, I'm 27 now with a wife and kids and grown up job. I remember going to the midnight release of Halo 3 and it was insane! So many people and we were sharing our gamertags to get online and play once we got home.
I got an original xbox with Halo CE for Christmas in 2001. My cousin and neighbor would play every day after school for 2-3+ hours. We probably put 3,000+ hours into that game, we'd also invite our friends over and have lan parties with 15 people every 2 weeks. This continued to Halo 2 and Halo 3. By Halo 3 my friends had started drifting away and I started making a bunch of online friends. We played Halo 3 for hours, customs, swat, snipers, infection, you name it, we played it. One by one we were getting older and life started taking over. Around 2012 it was down to just me and one friend and (like everyone else) said "see you tomorrow" and never logged on again. I was alone on Halo 3 and reach. I would play by myself, the laughs stopped and the sleepless nights turned into bed by 11pm. I still play Halo 3 on my 360 every now and then and none of my old buddies have ever logged back in. I like to watch all the old videos we saved and play on the old maps and just remember the laughs and good times. On some maps I can remember what we were talking about while we played. Halo MCC is fun but it doesn't come close to capturing the feel of the Halo 2-3 era. No one talks, everyone is so angry and no one laughs. I will always cherish the memories I made playing Halo 1-3 and I will always keep my same gamertag in case any of my old friends ever log on. I make sure I log onto my 360 and one at least once a week so it won't say I'm offline.
Oh man, you guys have hit me right in the feels. Nostalgia, depression, happy memories, joy and sadness rolled into one. Nothing will ever touch Halo 2 & 3 for me. I'm 37 now and played the hell out of those games when I had the perfect balance of income, free time and care-free attitude! Luckily for me, the main guy I played with is an offline friend as well... guess who's getting a phonecall tomorrow!!! GG WP! Thank you Bungie.
Hopefully we all can relive those memories again with MCC PC because of the influx of new players trying out Halo, and Halo Infinite. Hopefully.
Halo 3, best game in the series. sign...so many good times. Sucks that 343i/Microsoft had to ruin what made this series good in the first place.
>ruined
No.
transformersloverjon Halo is now but a shadow of its former self.
transformersloverjon 343i ruined EVERYTHING about what made Halo the behemoth it was. I can hardly find an old schooler who played Halo since 2001, justifying Halo being turned into a generic CoD clone, REMOVING SPLIT-SCREEN, not having Forge at launch, writing god awful stories, marketing lies, mediocre campaigns.
If you don't think 343i ruined Halo then you don't know anything about Halo, period.
transformersloverjon Lol yes.
Rhyan Eddy i still play halo 1 and 2
Man this was such a nostalgia strip. Halo 3 was by far the best in the series. The 4 player co-op, mathcmaking and countless hours of custom games. I will always remember taking a day off of school on 9/25/2007 with my best friend mark to have his mom drive us to gamestop to get this. Those were the days
Dude I never even played the Halo games and that intro somehow made me feel nostalgic...

@@Johndoe-ri6uq good joke kid go home
Same. I’m gonna grab a 360 soon so I can finally live the experience.
I met some of my closest friends through Halo 3. It's almost hard to think that those days are long gone. You're right; nothing but fond memories from playing till 5 AM!
halo 3 hold memories for me , and that is my cousin and i used to play it when we were kids.... sadly he commited suicide and gone but the laughs will not be forgotten.
Rip halo
Please, stop calling me Doctor. I'm a the rapist. Really dude?
Luis Cruz that hits close to home for me, my older brother did the same a couple years ago. We used to play 2 and 3 together all the time
Luis Cruz I’m sorry for your loss
if you guys don’t mind me asking, I know it is extremely personal so ofc only respond if u want to, I also had some of the best times in my life were playing halo 3 custom games . unrelated to halo, I’m 24 now and to be honest, suicide has been around me in my life like with friends or people I know and I did not know that as I grew older life could be that way, I am just wondering if u guys have any idea wat happened with ur cousin or ur brother like if u know why they may have commited suicide , since I am just trying to learn about this kind of tragedies and I am always looking to hear others experiences . I am extremely sorry if my question is offensive or disrespectful, as i mean no disrespect, and I am sorry for your loss
This really highlights Bungie's fall from grace with the current Destiny BS they have been pulling.
Hired Sword
It's not Bungie anymore. Marty O' Donell was fired and, to me, he was one of the major reasons that Halo (and what was left of Destiny at release) felt so tightly woven and immersive.
ex - 343 industry members make up like half of bungie now a days. It's not really fair to even call them bungie...
Let's also put into thought that most of the major OG people who were working on Destiny were basically told to shove it. Most of them quickly retired, quit, or somehow fired. They had a story for it, but the rest of them didn't like it
at 6:57 my brain automatically went
"HELLO I AM MASTERCHIEF LOLOLOLOLLOLOLO"

He still has new episodes and such, look them up on this site.
@@evanthompson4241 i loved arby n chief but never tried to keep watching it. Vids like this entice me more.
Hahahaha Arby and the chief was easily my favourite TH-cam series during the peak time of halo 3
I read that and immediately had an odd wave of confusion but also nostalgia hit me. To put it into words: "Oh-OOOH?"
I legit forgot and haven't thought about Arby and the chief since maybe 2010 or 2011.
@@evanthompson4241 wait really? I coulda sworn that I remember watching their (or what I thought was their) last video with all the characters pretty much saying their goodbyes.
Or do you just mean that the channel is still active, but they don't necessarily make Arby and the Chief videos anymore?
Edit: hot damn you're right on everything. I'm surprised he still does them considering the viewer count plummeted exponentially.
The art design was called life. It was made with love that only the creators understand.
After all this time, Halo 3's Believe advert campaign still holds #1 in my eyes for best advertising campaign. They are all beautiful ads. Sadly, my parents decided they didn't want to pay for XBL anymore around the time Halo 3 came out. I only got a few months of my time into it at first, but I would save any free gold membership cards I found and when I had a bunch of them I'd just burn through them, making new accounts each time.
Even though I had to play online in a stupid way, it was still some of the best fun I've ever had in a multiplayer game. Even more than Halo 2. It's so crazy to me how even today, there has not yet been a game that manages to draw me in to the multiplayer like Halo 2 and 3 did.
I literally started playing Halo 3 right now!! Crazy lol
EDIT: I meant that I've played it in its glory days everyday, but when I typed this comment I was playing it on MCC
Well on Halo MCC
new gen
Yee Cris hey milkshaco gotta love halo am i right?
QSP yeah I've been playing it since I was 6 man, 18 now
QSP hell ye
Thank you for this series. Halo is a series i have played since i was 5 years old. I am turning 22 soon. It has been a part of my life for almost its entirety. Halo 3 was easily the best gaming experience i have ever had. Those years of coming home from school and hopping on Live was unlike anything else. Maybe it was my age or something but i’ve never felt the same about a video game/era in my life.
The Xbox 360 was a golden age of gaming for me. Maybe things have just shifted to PC or something but the 360 was an experience. Titles like Halo 3, Fable 2, Skate 2, Orange Box, Gears of War, Fallout 3. It felt like we kept getting showered with amazing games one after another. I guess i got lucky and was able to experience it all during Elementary/Middle school where i had little responsibility and all my friends played Xbox together. I hope kids today get to have a similar rich experience with gaming as i did.
Thanks for the video Jakey, dog bless.
Hopefully. I guess fortnight is being I and cool, despite really just draining their parents credit cards
Bro this is the same story as me. I started playing Halo when I was 5 too. Halo 3 was by far the best gaming experience I have ever had in my life. Nothing can ever compare to the amount of fun I had on that game.
This game reminds me of so much more than just what a great game halo 3 was. It reminds me of the young years I'll never get back, late nights with friends playing around with forge when we should have been sleeping for school, listening to the soundtrack on my mp3 player... It reminds me of friends who I don't see as much anymore. It reminds me how beautiful life is. Thank you bungie.
I can never forget being 7 years old playing this game with my uncle in 2008. So much good times I had with this game, it's the best in the series in my opinion.
343 will never make a Halo this Successful! RIP Halo 3.
The Inheritor depends what you call successful. Halo 5 has generated more money than any other Halo title(thanks to reqs), and to Microsoft, that's successful.
black.. from a money standpoint.. but the og tirliogy will be more respected than any other fps game ever.
The Inheritor I know they made shit games but look at halo wars two
this is the way to go and maybe if we have some faith in them and they take as much time as they can for halo 6
it is possible to go the right way
I am not supporting them at all but the only thing we can do now is tell them what we want and I tell you they will listen
Nor will they make Halo any kind of successful for that matter.
+blackacid1000 & It also has the *least* sales out of any Halo title.
I consider 2007-2010 the golden age of Halo.
The golden age of Halo started with the release of Halo 2 and the original Xbox Live, IMO. And that age lasted until Reach, which was also good. I still probably racked up the most Halo hours in Halo 2 on the old Xbox Live, felt so cool at the time.

(I never really played Halo that much as a kid except at my friend's house and didn't own the game myself, but I did have some fun memories with it. I can't necesarily relate to this super close to home but it could have easily been me.)
I'm not crying... ok?!
I miss 2007-2010 so much
you gonna love 2019 mate
Oh god I remember playing this in 2009 when I was 11. Played online a lot and met some cool people playing custom games like fat kid and sky castle.
Ah good times...
blest Ah yes good times ;__;
Ahh god the fat kid...And the ghostbusters...jenga...maaaaaan....
GreedAndSelfishness Fat Kid and Jenga. My heart aches at the mention of those words...
Bat outta hell was a good one too.
The greatest title in the Halo series for me. That will never change. Great video man. Lots of nostalgia slapped my freckles off in this one.
Halo 3 is what made me a gamer. I've met so many people and I've shared so many experience with others that I will never forget what it meant to be a true halo fan. The memories I hold have never been topped by any other game, and I'm sure they never will. This series of videos was awesome man. Loved every video and waited patiently for each one. Good work, seriously. It's awesome to see some light shined on a once great trilogy so everyone who missed out on it can experience it as well.
Me too man, me too
Great video. Halo 3 was the pinnacle of console gaming and imo nothing has topped that experience since. I really really miss those days coming home from school and playing Halo 3 with my friends :( Just glad i was able to live those moments and be able to look back on them now! At least we have the MCC but it's just not the same feeling D:
Yeah! And to just THINK that Unreal Tournament 4 was going to be the rightful succesor! (I was participating the Alpha and it was incredibly promising) But Epic Games said NO and shutted it down... Fortnite is better I guess....
I don't disagree that MCC isn't the same feeling, but playing them on PC with the MCC now feels some kind of way too. Not the same, mind you, but still just as surreal: just as beautiful.
god dammit that intro was nostalgic and sad
im just happy i lived 2007 to the fullest
6:15 "never fails to gives me goosebumps"
me: yeah right
6:45 zooms in on masterchief
me: oh shit why is this happening to me?
i didn't even grow up ith halo and it gets me every time man
I just bought a 360 to experience these games for the first time, the zoom in shot even gives ME goosebumps. That goes to show how perfect the Believe ad campaign was.
Never played halo and only researching it rn for a presentation, but that shit still got me. Might finally have to give the games a try after this.
Halo 3 was my favourite Halo. I met a bunch of friends that I still speak to today. I got involved with competitive multiplayer. I got into streaming and met loads of awesome people on Justin TV. I stayed up countless nights "get that 50" in whatever playlist. The whole game just worked. I think the ranking system, matchmaking, customisation, theatre and competitive scene is still one of the best of any FPS ever. And to top it off, the music is timeless. I still have Halo 2/3 songs in my daily commute playlists. And I still occasionally find myself watching those Halo 3 trailers.
A lot of people have those sharred memories, it's a shame that there isn't a substitute for us anymore since the franchise has gone downhill and everyone has grown up and moved on.
Why Zen? I was like 8 then and I It was the first time I played Xbox live I was that squeaky kid although it got a little deeper later so it was bearable I remember adding my first friend on Xbox and inviting him to a custom game I didn’t know how to use the headset so I couldn’t hear him for like 5 minutes then slowly adding friends as it went on making some really good friends some I don’t see anymore and still have on my friends list and some that have grown into a giant friend group I’m still in 10 years later
who's chopping onions?
Reach was amazing too btw and I think it gets undeserved hate. It was the perfect game for Bungie’s unfortunate parting with their creation. Each character killed one by one until we get to the start of the original trilogy. I wouldn’t change anything about the Halo series. You wouldn’t change the art painted by a painter now would you?
Noble Vagabond I played Halo since the first, and I thought reach was way better than Halo 3.
He didn't give Reach any credit in this video rip.
Yeah Reach is heavily underrated. I loved Halo 3 to death but I can't get over how cool the armor design was and how unique the characters and campaign were. Can't wait to play both on PC.
I don't think he's saying halo reach is necessarily bad but more of the fact that reach could reach the bar halo 3 had but never surpass it
Reach was trash and effectively killed off custom games for the first couple years of life. because you would earn more credits doing matchmaking than custom games, so people saw no reason to do custom games anymore, because everyone wanted that stupid flaming skull helmet.
I know this video is almost 3 years old. But from the deepest depths of my heart and soul. Thank god for everything this game has done for me and so many others. I truly don't believe anything will ever be able to top it again. Here's hoping Halo infinite will start a fight we will all want to finish just as badly as what Bungie did with Halo 3
Halo for me ended on Reach. For many, if not most of us as well.
Yeah for sure. Even though Reach felt off somehow...
I loved reach I stopped play at 4
Ya that final mission "Survive" now feels like old Bungie was trying to tell us something.
anybody else get a little teary eyed near the end once that halo music hit and you saw chief and all the memories of halo 3 hit at once?
Halo is my life. I practically grew up with the series, seeing it grow and develop since I was 6. Nowadays, I'm kinda sad that Halo has taken a turn for the worse, but I saw it coming ever since Bungie left and 343i took over. Back then, Halo was the shit and everyone would talk about it. Now, Halo is hardly mentioned anymore and only brought up when going back on your memories or talking about what 343 has done.
I guess you could compare it with an old dog that you've known since you were little. You've got a bundle of great memories with it, full of joy and excetiment, but now that it's too old to do anything you're all sad and depressed it's had to come to this, so you tell him he's going on holiday, you take him to the vet and they put him to sleep...
Postmaster AFK man me too!
I come back to this video over and over. Every time I watch it, I feel compelled to resend it to my friends from back in the Halo 3 days. I believed then, and I believe now.
this actually made me sad, I remembered the times I would just hang out with friends just to beat the campaign in Legendary mode...
Watching this 7 years after you uploaded made me nostalgic enough to download the Master Chief collection and play some co-op with my 9 year old. She absolutely loves the games, there really was something special about this trilogy.
I remember friends playing the trilogy with their dads back in the days.
and now it's our time to pass on the mantle.
now that I think about it halo actually has a good message:
train and become confident in your trade to secure your community, adapt to new challenges and take on responsibility.

My first full dive into the Halo series was when my Parents bought me Halo 3: ODST back in October of 2009. It came not only with ODST but the Halo 3 multiplayer component with almost all the DLC. I was amazed with how fun Halo 3 multiplayer was, I ranked it amongst Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played.
I sank many hours into Halo 3 and enjoyed every minute of it. Some months back I played Halo 5 but I didn't quite enjoy it at first for the reason that it felt tanky and sluggish. In Bungie's Halo games you felt light on your feet when you jump or move, but in Halo 5 you feel like you have a ball and chain around your ankles.
Halo 5 does give a greater sense of momentum to your movements, but your analogy is over exaggerated to the point of outright lying. Once you get use to the movement, Halo 5 allows for much more agility than any of the previous halo games.
I don't think I was lying, it really felt like that. That's why I said it felt like that at first, nevertheless movement in the game is unlike the previous Halo games. Not saying it is bad by all means Halo 5 is still a great game, and I definitely don't expect 343 to follow lockstep in Bungie's design approach.
Strange... After playing Bungie's Halo games I always thought that Halo 5 felt more agile and light, and then going back to Halo 3 I felt 'tanky and sluggish'. It's funny how we both had the exact opposite reaction lol.
TehLion7
Really now? That's quite strange. Indeed Halo 5's controls feel precise and tight, but again I felt that the Spartan's movement felt tanky whereas in Halo 3 I felt light on my feet.
Weird. I guess it's how we play the game I guess. When you tried to play Halo 5, you might have tried to play it like Halo 3. Since Halo 5 isn't designed to play that way, that might have been why you felt restricted.

Great extension to H3 I personally love how the game uses The same Engone as H3 technically. At the same time it takes place in between H2 campaign that's cool.
you mean really good overpriced DLC
This video brought me to tears.
There has never been a game or time that feels the way halo 3 did. Staying up till 5 am playing duck hunt or some other wild variant, and even the campaign’s Easter eggs just made everything feel worth playing.
You never really get to go back home.
Studios are too big, franchises too heavy, and we are too cynical.
I’m venting here now but damnit I just miss it so much.
God........what the hell happened to this franchise I remember hearing back in day what's better Halo or Cod now Halo isn't even a contender it's between Cod and Battlefield or Destiny Halo has been completely pushed aside we where the pinnacle of shooters now where nothing.....
you can thank 343 for that
Except Cod sucks Battlefield mostly sucks and Destiny sucks the most.
poopynuggeteer Jesus, that's a painful comment
The unfortunate things with Destiny is that the main people who were part of Halo were basically shoved to the side by greedy assholes. The story creator took his work with him because they said his story was "too linear" which was kinda the entire point of the game.
@@adjcsee4476 I think being an mmo was what ruined Destiny as well.

+DivideByZero none of you are going to address the fact that Halo 4 and 5 are complete dog shit compared to Bungie's Halos?
linkerDA I mean, it's not a normal halo game, just like halo wars. It's more like an add on, but a lot of us enjoyed the campaign and somewhat the firefight mode.
I miss game chat and the community sense it brought. Online game hasn't been the same since.
The days of CoD4 and Halo 3 will never be matched.
its nice to explore a different childhood you didn't get to experience.
I'm only a minute or two into the video and as soon as I saw that silver box TV with the old yellow and white plugs in it with the Halo 3 menu on it I nearly shed a tear.
I made great online friends back then through custom games, we were all about 13. We still play online together to this day in our 20s. This game did so much for me.

Basically every game series in my opinion.
I wouldn't compare it to RPG franchises like Elder Scrolls. Both offer good stroytelling for their genre but it's comparing apples to oranges in a sense. I will agree with you on a personal standpoint that Halo 3 was a better all around game with less glaring flaws as Elder Scrols has (Skyrim in particular).
Well I still think overall it's a better series
Trying to get a bunch of people to play halo 3 on the 360 on 1/17/18. Join if you'd like and tell your friends!
Halo sucks
The fact that with theatre mode you could see every single aspect of the game, textures up close, go out of the map, see things you wouldn't be able to see while you're playing, makes you understand how detailed this game was. Well done bungie, you'll always be in my heart.
I always go back and watch your Halo series every few months or so. I love that even though your production has increased since this video, it’s super refreshing to know you’ve always been this sincere.
Halo 3's gameplay is an aged fine wine, well crafted over the course of the Halo trilogy, with CE kicking the series off, 2 adding in new features that would be staples for the series, (even if it did feel like only an unfinished beta to me), and then Halo 3 to take in all they learned to make what was almost the perfect Halo game....
