Well yeah i mean come on they hired people who think halo should be more like call of duty and hated halo for being halo. Cant make a successful game like that
@orlandof.3220 One entire episode focused on the covenant invading reach? Half of it, everyone stands around talking. The other half is an emotional Cheeks and bootleg keys having a 5 minute battle, while the rainbow crew battles a wraith and patriarchy. Then Cheeks takes a nap, because why not? Oh yeah, he wakes up weeks later, and over the course of those weeks apparently Reach fell. Stfu
The Great Schism is a lot like Order 66 from Star Wars, imagine the look of surprise many Sangheili faced when some of their troops immediately turned on them.
The "Nice Shot" afterwards feels so natural as a result. They knew it was textbook to try and suppress the flanking position, but when the guy just nailed the jackal in one shot, they're just astonished the problem was already solved.
what i love about this is the highlight that both sides are indeed using combined arms warfare, just in different ways. in the games and other media the covenant especially, but the UNSC are also shown to simply be haphazardly throwing units at each other in a big meat grinder. this a breath of fresh air to see in Halo animations.
Interestingly, Halo Wars 2 gameplay I've seen highlights really well how Covenant forces fight. That being, it relies on high mobility and incredibly flexible formations as well as long ranged, but pitched engagements where the Covenant forces can weave, evade and pull back if necessary. You can see here when the Wraith was able to make a split second decision to assist the flanks by firing a shot whilst still laying down fire at the front. Covenant forces are mostly uncontested in space and air power in most fights, barring places like Earth and Reach where humanity forces a committed engagement and fight on their terms. The above doctrine makes sense when factor in warships in-atmosphere.
@@TheNapster153 This has to be one of the coolest breakdowns of in-lore ground combat that I’ve seen in regards to Halo, this franchise desperately deserves a grounded cinematic take on the story and warfare.
I'd say it's half and half. Half accurate, half not. But for this level of media, it's very impressive. My only weird gripe is the marine not checking back blast the rocket lol. I suggest you take a look at the "VIP" animation here on TH-cam. It has tier 1 spec forces style tactics that are (extremely) accurate.
personally think Sodaz is a bit better but that might be because Notpipi is using old ass models and probably has to do alot of jury rigging for this to even be possible
Pretty sure ODST's are classified as part of the Marine Corps. But fully agreed. There's a lot of potential there. Bungie knew that too. A squad-based game that plays like Republic Commando, set in Halo, as a tactical marine would be quite awesome. Participating and even enabling major events from behind the scenes. Imagine taking on a gaggle of grunts as a small and vulnerable tactical squad - or a pair of hunters. Personally, I've wanted a game for a long time where the humans are the bad guys; where the main character is a human - possibly still a Spartan - who becomes entangled in ONI's secret web of espionage, experiments, and war crimes - learning too much, and suddenly becoming an unwilling security risk and loose end hunted by marines and even other Spartans on ONI's directives, and forced to wrestle with the question of what the right thing to do in that situation is: Expose ONI and jepordise the war effort and humanity's survival, or do nothing and risk dying, and that ONI is never held accountable for their atrocities, and injustice prevails and the atrocities continue even if humanity survives the war.
honestly? i don't like this video...know why? not enough master chief ass, feelings, lore inaccuracies & bad writing lmao u thought this was an actual hater comment didn't u
Nah, Notpipi is making Halo 2-Halo 3 ODST (i hope he add some of H3ODST models) and Sodaz is making Reach. Let them get some experience first and then they can do the same as Fireteam Raven.
I don’t want to say this is better than the tv show as that would be a disservice to you and your work with how bad paramount is. This is the best Halo 2 animation I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to see more
@@doomguy2020 check out sodaz, they do a ton of cool animation stuff. their Halo video is rad and they're working on a fallout new vegas thing right now.
I think Installation 00 calculated that a shot from the warthog mounted gauss cannon had the power of something like 10,000 .50 BMGs. So I agree, pretty scary.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem The TLDR is that, you could shoot at a cruising altitude commercial plane and hit it WITHOUT NEEDING TO LEAD THE SHOT. It's so fast it will basically be instant to the shooter. That's why in most games most vehicles can just tank 1 to 3 Gauss Hog shots. In-universe usually a Wraith's driver seat would end up like a big molted hole after a well aimed gauss hog shot.
@@OnePlayer480 bet if that thing is not used carefully, it could do the same thing as the Experimental Rail Weapon from Resident Evil Vendetta. But at the same time it makes the Covenant vehicles more frightening.
@@chipsdubbo5.56 Always wondered how we pulled that one off. Must be that ole true blue Aussie spirit, wantin' to be in the two worst places in the galaxy at the same time.
This is easily one of the best fan animations I've seen. Really gives a sense of what a battle against the Covenant would be like from a more tactical perspective than normal Halo style gameplay. Now I see why people keep saying they'd like a tactical ODST game!
If there was a tactical shooter ODST, it'd operate on a mostly one hit kill both ways except shielded enemies, and squad tactics. Even a Grunt with a Needler will suddenly be a lot more deadly without the Chief's armor. ARs and BRs would be select fire and actual aiming would be required. Full auto would be useful only in very close quarters or if plasma weapons. Engagement distances would be within 0 to 600m, "0" being rushing enemies or active camo surprise like sword Elites but mostly within 100m, 600 or beyond for Jackal snipers. Rockets are a must in loadout if tanks or Hunters are expected.
I just love fan animations that show Covenant being on the defense in an urban human setting, using every resource and tactics they have. Makes the war gritty for both sides
Tip for anyone watching the video: Play the Long Night of Solace soundtrack over this, starting about 00:20 the video instantly becomes even better than it already is.
Jackal sniper appears Marine: Sniper! Suppresing Fire! *Fires Battle Rifle, Boom headshot!* i mean, it suppresed its head from its body, so, it works? XD
YES YES YES Finally an animation featuring the Marines! Shows how the marines aren't actually just bumbling meatshields and can definitely hold their own. The ODSTS are the dessert to the animation. They're actually really steathy to the point even other maires couldn’t tell they were there.
What an intense fight for just 2 streets of a city, love it, cant get enough of it. My only regret is I only have one like to give you. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
My favorite thing about your animations is just how much you really GET the Human-Covenant War. How humans' superior tactics, stronger fighting spirit, and overall unit cohesion allowed them to win most battles on the ground against the Covenant's relatively disorganized mashup of species that really don't get along all that well and aren't nearly as proficient at fighting together. Can't wait for Part Two.
This is so impressive!! Thank you for making such awesome Halo content for us to enjoy! The tactics and coordination of the Marines and the Covvies was so well done, and I loved all the plasma scoring details as well. Excellent work
What another neat detail is the use of a machine gunner. We see mounted mgs in the campaign, but are never able to grab and use them. I always thought the concept of LMG or MMG for UNSC would be very useful for picking off ground teams
Fun fact: the GPMG was actually intended to be in Halo 2, specifically after turret emplacements were destroyed (similar to what Halo 3 did). It was eventually cut because Bungie felt it didn’t have a distinct enough gameplay niche within the weapons sandbox I, for one, disagree. The SAW was one of the few things I straight loved in Halos 4 and 5
this is exactly the way i would imagine firefights would go down, the UNSC slowly moving up with armor to grind down the covenant in urban combat, its truly a thing of beauty
5:15 the H2C Beam Rifle scoping in sound effect is so cool! I love how your style is so faithful to the the games, CE & 2 in particular. Makes the animations feel that much more authentic & believable. Peak. This is PEAK!
The "feel" of this is so uniquely good. Sure, a couple animations are a little sluggish, some SFX could use some more punch, but what this does so well is totally capture the scale and chaos of the fighting itself. Completely brutal street-to-street fighting with lots of casualties on both sides and so much happening in the background, foreground, and off-screen. It's exactly what I imagined was happening all around me during the Earth missions in Halo 2. Also, the build-up to the fighting with the human reinforcements was so hype. Keep up the good work!
Another great aspect of this animation: The shakey cam is just shakey enough. It's Saving Private Ryan shakey cam, where it's extremely disciplined and controlled.
Creators like you singlehandedly keep the story of Halo alive and the community wouldn't be what it is without you! Seeing Halo 2 with this cinematography, fidelity and lighting is amazing and I hope this blows up because it's beautiful and more people need to see it
I love how you address the great schism I haven't seen an animation that addressed that Want more please We know about the human side of the war Wish to see more of how the standard covenant soldier went thru and felt And how they handled specific events. Thank you
That scene at 6:43 is probably one of my favorites, seeing a frigate manouver through the sky while a ground battle is being waged, seen hrough a handheld shot is quite marvelous. Congratulations dude !!!
I loved how you included the brutes turning on the elites! The combat also felt so brutal and so real, I felt like I could imagine being there. Very good work thank you so much
That's a good detail having the marines carry the M247 gpmg around. I think that gun would be more deployed at the platoon level like the real life M240B, but Halo 2 doesn't have a model for the SAW so I know you gotta work with what you got. Pretty awesome though.
This type of setting would be PERFECT for a Halo game like Socom set in various military theaters, including Earth, Reach, and other covenant battle spaces
Very cool and satisfying video. I love Halo marines so much that seeing them done justice is always immensely satisfying. The brute and elite fight was a cool little substory with a very predictable ending haha, I dunno how that brute figured he was getting out of there. I loved seeing the gauss turret delete those grunts.
Dude! The tactics! The cinema, the realistic voice lines for the marines! And the remastered halo 2 odst’s were like craaaaaazzzzy! I actually kind of wish they stayed like that after seeing it remastered!
Love from ireland 🇮🇪 thank you so much to all those who are supporting this guy ❤ this is halo!! Ive read nearly all the books olayed the games religiously and apart from neil bloomkamp, sodaz and you, i dont see the same tyoe of love for the franchise...keep it up man your fanbase will always be with you
Absolutely phenomenal! This Mombasa battle fan animation blew me away. The attention to detail is mind-blowing, and it perfectly captures the gritty, intense atmosphere of Halo's urban warfare. Seriously epic stuff!
Love this. Everything about this. So far this is my favorite fan made halo animation. The animation is perfect. The lack of a "main character" is perfect. To me, this looks and feels like somthing made in engine. Absolutely flawless.
WOW....finally a look into what happened from the UNSC Marines point of view. This was a HUGE battle that has not received enough attention. Thank you!
Love seeing UNSC Frigates being shown in their best kind of roles as atmospheric support, and powerful in groups, as they’re literally causing a CCS Cruiser to run away burning and laying down hella suppressive fire on the rest of their fleet & ground forces. Love just seeing them hover above the battle happening below. Also love a Frigate just deleting a Scarab out of existence with a single archer missile lol. If only the UNSC could be portrayed a little more badass in the games like this. Don’t get me started how weak they looked in that new show.
Absolutely incredible. The scene where the UNSC marches into the city as Longswords scream over and the cruiser falls out of the sky is just magnificent
I am blown away!!!🤯 You need to make a short movie like this or something. I know me and lots of people would buy it. Maybe you can work with Hiddenxperia and Installation00 to get the lore right. That would be amazing🙏 I love seeing the convoy of Marines and civilians crossing the bridge. The air raid sirens are a cool effect and add the sense of panic and emergency. 2:19 is so cool seeing different animations than the games. Here the Marines kick down a door and the elite is choking a grunt. I love it!! And cool idea with the kamikaze Spectre. 3:40 hearing "airstrike approved" on the radio and seeing the UNSC ship launch a Archer missile is just too cool 😎 5:48 seeing Tartarus get hit was definitely a plot twist lol does he survive? I still see his body (unlike the grunts that get destroyed) so maybe he is still alive for the rest of the Halo 2 story? Really cool scene🔥🔥🔥 6:47 love to see ODST doing spec ops things💪 it was really slick how organized and coordinated they were, and the quick tap on the helmet/shoulder once the explosive charge was set is perfection. You are just getting better and better bro, these shorts are breathtaking and beautiful and at this point the combat footage is honestly better than Bungie's cutscenes (no offense Joe Staten). Imagine if we had combat scenes like this mixed in with the normal Halo cutscenes😍 My only constructive criticism is I would love to see the empty shell casings coming out of the human weapons. But I don't know if that's possible... Keep up the amazing work my friend we all appreciate it!
Only gripe was how easy the UNSC was dealing with the covenant while in reality they were losing a lot of ground, even during the schism. But man this is on the levels of Sodaz quality of animation, I can't wait to see more from you.
The sound design is beautiful. I love the constant sirens, the use of in-game dialogue, the weapon noises, all of it. Also, even though it's Halo 2 models, the visual attention to detail with plasma marks and stuff really brings me into it!
Halo wars. But it released in 2004 This was an absolute joy to watch. The lighting and effects really made you forget how old those covenant and marine models really are.
I loved that you recognized how the Brute Shot literally flips over from the disc it has to use its bayonet in a fight, i thought i was the only one who noticed it.
I've been to Mombasa several times, such a fun place. To imagine it decimated in the Halo world, I'd definitely volunteer to be part of the defence force
There’s something about the h2 graphics that just works it’s soooo good Also I loved the parts that fell like they were been recorded by a marine or a person with a proper camera down their with em

this is exactly the way i would imagine firefights would go down, the UNSC slowly moving up with armor to grind down the covenant in urban combat, its truly a thing of beauty
remember when Halo was a war story? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I do too and I miss it.
This captures a layer of drama, grittiness, and chaos that Halo never did before. It really feels like you're in a huge scale city battle.
5:15 the H2C Beam Rifle scoping in sound effect is so cool!
I love how your style is so faithful to the the games, CE & 2 in particular. Makes the animations feel that much more authentic & believable.
Peak. This is PEAK!
The "feel" of this is so uniquely good. Sure, a couple animations are a little sluggish, some SFX could use some more punch, but what this does so well is totally capture the scale and chaos of the fighting itself. Completely brutal street-to-street fighting with lots of casualties on both sides and so much happening in the background, foreground, and off-screen. It's exactly what I imagined was happening all around me during the Earth missions in Halo 2. Also, the build-up to the fighting with the human reinforcements was so hype. Keep up the good work!
Another great aspect of this animation: The shakey cam is just shakey enough. It's Saving Private Ryan shakey cam, where it's extremely disciplined and controlled.
Creators like you singlehandedly keep the story of Halo alive and the community wouldn't be what it is without you! Seeing Halo 2 with this cinematography, fidelity and lighting is amazing and I hope this blows up because it's beautiful and more people need to see it
This has a really nice classic Halo 2 feel to it, especially with the graphics style. I love this
Now THIS is what a COMBINED ARMS ASSAULT looks like!
I love how you address the great schism
I haven't seen an animation that addressed that
Want more please
We know about the human side of the war
Wish to see more of how the standard covenant soldier went thru and felt
And how they handled specific events.
Thank you
Watching that brute change states of matter never gets old.
Now THIS is what we need more of, not whatever the hell the TV show is. Excellent work, can't wait to see what's next
DAmn I would love a halo game that is just urban fighting as a marine with a a whole army at your front and rear.
This is better than the halo tv show, it’s amazing
man I love how grounded the tactics are, the marines are actually competent 😩
That scene at 6:43 is probably one of my favorites, seeing a frigate manouver through the sky while a ground battle is being waged, seen hrough a handheld shot is quite marvelous. Congratulations dude !!!
I loved how you included the brutes turning on the elites! The combat also felt so brutal and so real, I felt like I could imagine being there. Very good work thank you so much
Im too dumb to think of any words to properly describe how amazing this is fantastic job!
love the modern warfare 2 vibes. The "marching into your doom to maybe complete a single objective to save your nation" feel.
We need part 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 all the way to part 20! Amazing work!
The brutality of the gause cannon was insane! Incredible work!
That's a good detail having the marines carry the M247 gpmg around. I think that gun would be more deployed at the platoon level like the real life M240B, but Halo 2 doesn't have a model for the SAW so I know you gotta work with what you got. Pretty awesome though.
Love the use of halo 2 assets. Had some of the best overall halo design of any of the games.
When I imagine Halo 2, this is what I think of.
You're doing more for my favourite game than the corp whom owns it.
Imagine a 1995 halo RTS and these were the cut scene’s ❤
This type of setting would be PERFECT for a Halo game like Socom set in various military theaters, including Earth, Reach, and other covenant battle spaces
Very cool and satisfying video. I love Halo marines so much that seeing them done justice is always immensely satisfying. The brute and elite fight was a cool little substory with a very predictable ending haha, I dunno how that brute figured he was getting out of there. I loved seeing the gauss turret delete those grunts.
Dude! The tactics! The cinema, the realistic voice lines for the marines!
And the remastered halo 2 odst’s were like craaaaaazzzzy! I actually kind of wish they stayed like that after seeing it remastered!
Love from ireland 🇮🇪 thank you so much to all those who are supporting this guy ❤ this is halo!! Ive read nearly all the books olayed the games religiously and apart from neil bloomkamp, sodaz and you, i dont see the same tyoe of love for the franchise...keep it up man your fanbase will always be with you
This is the grungiest and most apocalyptic interpretation of Halo I have ever seen.
I LOVE the that it's the OG Halo 2 models. This is amazing work and another great reason why this fanbase is one of the best.
Absolutely phenomenal! This Mombasa battle fan animation blew me away. The attention to detail is mind-blowing, and it perfectly captures the gritty, intense atmosphere of Halo's urban warfare. Seriously epic stuff!
Love this. Everything about this. So far this is my favorite fan made halo animation. The animation is perfect. The lack of a "main character" is perfect. To me, this looks and feels like somthing made in engine. Absolutely flawless.
WOW....finally a look into what happened from the UNSC Marines point of view.
This was a HUGE battle that has not received enough attention.
Thank you!
This is insanely good, really has the atmosphere of how I imagined the Halo 2 cut content would feel like
I'm so glad we're getting some good Halo animation content. Thank you so much for this. We're eatin' so good with this one.
Love seeing UNSC Frigates being shown in their best kind of roles as atmospheric support, and powerful in groups, as they’re literally causing a CCS Cruiser to run away burning and laying down hella suppressive fire on the rest of their fleet & ground forces. Love just seeing them hover above the battle happening below.
Also love a Frigate just deleting a Scarab out of existence with a single archer missile lol. If only the UNSC could be portrayed a little more badass in the games like this. Don’t get me started how weak they looked in that new show.
Those AA cannons on the Scarab look like they pose a real threat to even Frigates in close support, not just Pelicans.
We all know it took you a long time to make this, so thank you so much for such amazing work! ✨️
I love how u showed the Marines actually doing something and not just getting laid down without the chief I feel like humans always got dissed in halo
Even the frigates were crushing a battlecruiser
This is awesome. I love the sense of scale while having so much attention to detail
Absolutely incredible. The scene where the UNSC marches into the city as Longswords scream over and the cruiser falls out of the sky is just magnificent
I can’t wait!!! This is going to be amazing, I just know it.
This is better action than what the Paramount series has to offer
I am blown away!!!🤯 You need to make a short movie like this or something. I know me and lots of people would buy it. Maybe you can work with Hiddenxperia and Installation00 to get the lore right. That would be amazing🙏
I love seeing the convoy of Marines and civilians crossing the bridge. The air raid sirens are a cool effect and add the sense of panic and emergency.
2:19 is so cool seeing different animations than the games. Here the Marines kick down a door and the elite is choking a grunt. I love it!! And cool idea with the kamikaze Spectre.
3:40 hearing "airstrike approved" on the radio and seeing the UNSC ship launch a Archer missile is just too cool 😎
5:48 seeing Tartarus get hit was definitely a plot twist lol does he survive? I still see his body (unlike the grunts that get destroyed) so maybe he is still alive for the rest of the Halo 2 story? Really cool scene🔥🔥🔥
6:47 love to see ODST doing spec ops things💪 it was really slick how organized and coordinated they were, and the quick tap on the helmet/shoulder once the explosive charge was set is perfection.
You are just getting better and better bro, these shorts are breathtaking and beautiful and at this point the combat footage is honestly better than Bungie's cutscenes (no offense Joe Staten). Imagine if we had combat scenes like this mixed in with the normal Halo cutscenes😍
My only constructive criticism is I would love to see the empty shell casings coming out of the human weapons. But I don't know if that's possible...
Keep up the amazing work my friend we all appreciate it!
When a small time youtuber making hardly any money does a better job at making a halo show than a billion dollar company
Only gripe was how easy the UNSC was dealing with the covenant while in reality they were losing a lot of ground, even during the schism.
But man this is on the levels of Sodaz quality of animation, I can't wait to see more from you.
Letss fking gooooohooooohoooooohohooooohooo!!!
This is absolutely amazing, your direction and cinematography deserve the budget and assets the Halo show got, absolutely incredible work!!!
estás animaciones si me ponen a pensar la diferencia que puede hacer un spartan ahi
This is why there needs to be a halo game where you play as a marine with other players.
The sound design is beautiful. I love the constant sirens, the use of in-game dialogue, the weapon noises, all of it. Also, even though it's Halo 2 models, the visual attention to detail with plasma marks and stuff really brings me into it!
Halo wars. But it released in 2004
This was an absolute joy to watch. The lighting and effects really made you forget how old those covenant and marine models really are.
I really love how the UNSC works together, the Marines are the source of pure badassery
The Bungie sounds fx are just superior🔥
I loved that you recognized how the Brute Shot literally flips over from the disc it has to use its bayonet in a fight, i thought i was the only one who noticed it.
I've been to Mombasa several times, such a fun place. To imagine it decimated in the Halo world, I'd definitely volunteer to be part of the defence force
Absolutely terrific, fixed a grand majority of the problems with lighting and effects I had with the original WIP shots
This is the best Halo fan animation I’ve seen in a while. Well done. You sir just earned a new subscriber.
There’s something about the h2 graphics that just works it’s soooo good
Also I loved the parts that fell like they were been recorded by a marine or a person with a proper camera down their with em
This is perfect as a kid I imagined the battle on earth like this as it was a huge invasion.
