Let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten.
that's hurt because they are just bad. They can't make emotion with a helmet because they are bad. I made all the games in a few days recently, and it's crazy because it's one more license that the series will trash without thinking for money.
I just realized, Steve Downes was a DJ at a Chicago radio station, and now he is one of the most recognizable voices in gaming. Not only that but his voice acting is S tier. What incredible range, control, and ability.
He's crushed it in every game despite its overall quality the voice talent of the people who voice these iconic characters make halo what it is and even if the games were mid or bad he always comes through every time with his best preference because he cares about his character.
@@EMIN3MFaN97 oh I enjoy all the games the only one that could be considered not that great was halo 5 and it only suffers from just having a poor lead writer but overall not a bad game id say a 6 or a 7 out of 10. I was just saying that cause some people think everything after Bungie is bad but I disagree not a perfect trilogy I appreciate all the cool stuff 343 did for the franchise that Bungie would've never had done like continuing the story with a multiplayer campaign for 4 yeah it was hard as balls gameplay wise but the story was pretty good I enjoyed the dlc campaign.
I started playing H5 multiplayer right when I came out, so October 2015, till this day, I still talk to some of the people I’ve met. We were recruited in clans, left, joined other clans, then we decided to make our own online community. Even some of us had the blessing to meet each other in real life, sucks for the ones that live really far away lol.
"Hit em hard boss." "Your own your own Noble, Carter out." These 2 lines always hit hard to me, because Emile understood what he meant and did not even try to stop him, knowing he was still gonna die one way or another.
0:34 You can hear the pain in Cortana’s voice. She really loves John, and when she touched him for the first and only time, she probably felt so happy, to touch the one person that cared about her. She must have felt broken having to leave John.
@@Falcon-Actual I honestly loved that scene and dialogue, given that Chief for so long seemed to view himself as a machine, but both Cortana and that conversation with that commander seemed to snap him out of that mind set
You know it hits right when you are wiping away genuine tears. Halo has been such a huge part of my life for over 20 years now and has recently brought me opportunities I would have only ever dreamt of, as well as, making lifelong connections to some incredible gamers and friends 💚💙💚💙💚💙
@@Falcon-Actual Do you still play? If you we have a really incredible community called Halo Lives On. Even if you don’t we are just a bunch of halo lovers and it’s just nice to have people to relate too!
@@Wafflez427 I'm actually relatively new to halo, I've played a lot with friends over the years but I never owned the games myself until about a year ago
It was story. It really was more then just another shooter game. It had real emotion, soul, character and today immense nostalgic value. The story of master chief is one that stands among the ones like luke skywalker, captain Kirk, Darth Vader and many other Sci fi legends. That green tatered amoured being was someone we all embodied. And that is something I think many can't replicate....how it made us feel like we were him, we were Master Chief. Not only did we play him but we very much...grew up with him.
I like the subtle element when Chief is kneeling beside the pilot (can't remember his name; haven't played enough Infinite lol), how Chief is subtly scanning for potential threats even as he's speaking, cos they're out in the wilds lol
Damn, time flies by so fast. Still remember how I got a disc with Halo CE in 2005. I keep replaying it even now with my brother. I don't know how but the game still looks decent to me with classic graphics, while many other old games i used to like playing I can't even look at without pain.
I swear this made me cry, been playing halo for nine years now… and I can truly say that this fully made me cry, especially the halo reach part, considering that it is my favorite video game😢
This is what I remember Halo being, this is what it is to me. Not a multiplayer death match that gets more toxic as you play but a story worth telling. I will wait for the fight to continue as others fight each other
This game was my only escape when growing up. I was constantly bullied at school because of my race, constantly ignored at home. But I didn't care because I was playing as a badass in space defending human from near extinction. This game truly did inspire me
Out of all the hate I think the character build in infinite with her and Master Chief was amazing sure some things weren't great or perfect in the game, but to me definitely a story I would play again.
Halo is more than a franchise; it greets you like a beloved family member or a cherished friend returning home. Experience its flourishing evolution with each new release. I was 7 years old when I first encountered this franchise, and I still recall playing the original Halo on the 1st Xbox. This franchise has inspired us all to strive to be Spartans and Elites. Here's to another year for Halo and to many more ahead.
Despite the direction that 343 has taken the Main Halo series too. They have done a good job about us as the player connecting to the man, machine, soldier, human known as the Master Chief. Not just a machine but still human seeing the mistakes he's made and emotions he has. Growing up with Halo and seeing where it is now is heartwarming. Halo will forever be my favorite video game franchise despite where it is at now.
Some have this theory that the whole game was an apology letter from 343 to the Fandom. When Cortana said "I was wrong, I thought I could do this on my own, but I forgot the whole point of being a team was to do it together" is them acknowledge that they let us down. And I like to think is true
One of my closest friends passed away this year. He got me into Halo and it was our tradition to play a halo coop campaign each December holiday. Rest in peace Adrian, you have finished your fight.
This got me through my childhood, the games, the books, Halo Legends, Forward unto Dawn , if there is one thing that truly kept me out of those dark places growing up, it was Halo.
Giving chief as a character a lot more depth was one of the best things 343 did. His relationship with cortana in 4 and his emotional state in infinite genuinely felt real. 20 years ago he was a pretty 2d character, a vessel for the player. Now Infinite gave us a man who's dealing with loss. While infinites story isn't perfect, not by a long shot chiefs relationships with fernando and the weapon and how they change him as a person is in my opinion halo at some of its best.
so i play on an xbox 360, and recently, the CD stopped working for reach. it was my favorite game. i was halfway through the legendary campaign for the first time. this video made me remember the moments that forged me over the past years. thank you
this is amazing.literally teared up. this is what halo should be, a game about hope. despite all of these losses and the heartbreak and loneliness we feel through out the games, there is still hope. hope for the galaxy. and for us, too
It was never just a game. It was my teens. It was long nights playing these over and over and doing LASO, playing against Bungie and getting blue flames, it wasn't just a game. It was home for a long, long time.
Just wanted to revisit this video, its been around 6 years since i experienced this soundtrack, needless to say ive always held this specific one close. Its been with me through my journey, when i had suffered through immense depression, when i enlisted and had constant trials at my feet everywhere i turned. Needless to say ive finally got a foot hold in my life with your help. Just wanted to thank you for that. Please continue making amazing music.
Awesome edit bruh i still remember the first time i played halo ce on the og xbox with my little brother in splitscreen now im 25 and here i am still a fan of my first video game franchise
"It was never about the Halos. Never the Covanant or its children. Not even the flood. It was about her. Protecting her and loving being there for her. To this day I still regret leaving her behind on High Charity. I still regret missing her last 4 years.. Letting her go... I failed her. I WILL NOT fail anyone else."
this made me realize that ive been playing halo since i was 7 and how much it has actually helped me throughout my life so far (im in a halo infinite lobby as im typing this btw)
The original, while not THE reason, definitely influenced me to join the United States Marine Corps. This game was much more to a generation. And I love it. The lore. The themes. The characters. It will always be my favorite IP

One of my favourite things about halo is that's it's not just a game, but it's the community as well. This is insanely good, nice wok Falcon.
