This is what Halo is about. The desperate battle of Man against an overwhelming force, the Covenant crushing humanity on all fronts, every victory a pyrrhic one. The sacrifice of some regular, ordinary people like Baird or Forge to keep humanity safe, no matter the cost.
Lol. Curbstomp. The Imperial send a single Imperial guard regiments (Couting between several hundred billions troops to a few trillions troops) and a single Naval fleet and literally curb stomp any covenants with sheer firepower and number. Or even just 1000 space marines would suffice.
So fun fact: the guy who portrays the medical technician that diagnoses Baird with cancer at the beginning is Frank O'Connor. He was the one who actually WROTE the story.
One thing I've noticed and really appreciate with Halo as a franchise is that the accents are always so diverse, from Mexican to Scottish and Irish and it really immerses you in the fact that the UNSC would realistically be made up of over a hundred different cultures with hundreds of accents
But think of the amount of friendly fire you’d get whenever the Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee derby teams were in the same system…. Sectarian violence IN SPACE!!
They should have cloned him multiple times and force ORION and GEN II Protocol and mutations on him until one made it with acceptable mental capacity. Just enough to follow someones orders blindly with the loyalty he has to the human race. They would be quite the killing machine.
Agreed, until now Jorge 053 and Fred 104 were the biggest and some of the most effective soldiers,, atleast before meeting an untimely death........ both Spartans were over 1 foot taller than the Master Chief, if this guy had been noticed by Oni the size/badass chart of Spartans, they would have seen a sudden spike.
People have only seen this and never actually read the novelized version that this is adapted from. As a result, what they don't know is that the Heart of Midlothian has ALREADY met up with those fleeing civilians who have continued on their way. The ship's mission is to check out their story and make sure that all of the prototypes have really been destroyed. The civilians are gone before the ship is attacked. The novel also makes it clear that the self-destruct took out all of the attacking Covenant ships as well.
They also don't understand that all this is basically basic ODST shit, Baid wasn't even succeeding (first got stabbed, then surrendered, all while juiced up with a drug), and are calling him "the biggest badass" and other crap. If that one character is the biggest badass to them, then I guess they have bad ability of puting things into context... or just critically thinking for that matter.
@@Halo_Legend Wtf is wrong with you? How many ODST's get skewered by an energy sword and then proceed to fuck up an entire Covie spec ops mission and take multiple ships with them? What do you mean he didn't succeed? Did you miss the part where he saved Earth?
Little stories like this in the Halo universe are honestly what makes it thrive. The connection to The Prototype and the Cole Protocol fleshes it out just enough without oversaturating it. This kind of stuff makes me DESPERATELY want another Halo Legends movie or Evolutions book.
This one starts off a little slower than the others, but if you give it a couple of mins it will pick up in action, and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it.
Prob said cancer to be easier. Not only on him (he wouldn’t know what the scientific names are obv) and because not everyone irl knows the technical terms. Plus im sure in the future it doesn’t matter what kind of cancer. Regardless where and how bad, It seems easily treatable.
So many awesome moments in the halo lore. Mostly tragic, but never losing the sense of defiance in the face of overwhelming odds. Master Chief is great, but he isn't the only badass in Halo. Just the most successful.
"Everyone dies alone, but if you mean something to someone, if you help someone, or love someone, if even a single person remembers you, then maybe you never really die at all." "And what I've found is that often the moment in a person's life that matters the most when you truly know who they are and why they did what they did is often their last one."
I like how they set it up that Baird was gonna go in guns blazing wit the super serum but he went in wit a cool and calm head and her laugh at the end was so satisfying
ODST's ARE marines. ODST is like a marine special force division. While their armors, skills and tactics are vastly superior to the already-impressive regular marine's one, they are still marines.

The saddest part of this is that the Heart of Midlothian was supposed to rendezvous with the survivors of the events of Prototype. All that effort they went through to evacuate Algolis will end up wasted because their rescue ship is nowhere to be seen. The only consolation is that Baird might have taken out the Covenant ship as well.

Yep if you watch the ending of the episode you hear in the after action report that the survivors from the colony are meeting up with the Heart of Midlothian.

Dude... I was a kid when I watched this. I don't remember any of it except the head cutting scene. It traumatised me for some reason. No one's fault but my own lmao. I couldn't remember the name or anything of it for years, until today. Glad I came back to it and saw it properly.
Pretty sure the Sangheili honestly didn't give a fuck about ~allowing humans to die as warriors,~ considering they were the driving force behind the deaths of BILLIONS of them... almost NONE of whom would have been in any way combat-competent, statistically. Thel 'Vadam SOMETIMES fought honorably, when facing armed soldiers on the ground, but he was noted as being the first Elite to exhibit that behavior. For the most part, they just kind of mowed humans down indiscriminately and cared fuck all about being ~honorable~ while doing so. They were on a mission of extermination, not subjugation, after all - "honor" wouldn't exactly be high on the list of priorities. I mean, fuck, that would be like us worrying about "honor" when wiping out rat colonies, and letting them try to ~fight back~ LMAO The Sangheili are by far my favorite race, but c'mon, let's not make them out to be something they aren't.

18:02, can we just take a moment to take in the size of Baird, he's standing face to face with that elite so either that elite is smaller than average or Baird is just a complete beast.
@@andresherrera2902 he means that elites usually tower over humans when we see them compared, but in this, Baird and the elite are almost the same size
Who would in a fight? A galactic juggernaut hellbent on decimating humanity, or Michael "whot tha focks ah cancah?" Baird? I love this dude. Absolute unit of a marine.
Bird is massive. And the Elites size has varied loads throughout the games. They've been slowly getting ridiculously huge. They were similar size to Master Chief in CE, who is like 7ft 2in.
He was just about as big as the damn elite, this guy was a beast of human being, his sacrifice saved humanity. I don’t think I want to face a grunt then, did you see how fast his trigger finger was ? Shot the pistol so fast it was comparable to a plasma rifle, I’m really intrigued, this video shows the physical attributes and mental ones of the covenant during this war that nearly led to the complete and utter annihilation of mankind as a species. 11:5312:10
To be completely honest if we somehow found a way to contain plasma and then passed it threw any human's torso.. They will not know their face from their ass.. FACT!
I miss the old days of Halo Waypoint back when it was an app...what happened? I mean they'd make these, put new episodes of RvB out, and random lore videos too it was great.
Thats a MJOLNIR experimental suit. Its from the Prototype short in Halo Legends. It was basically a less effective Mantis. But they were rarely used in combat, and almost immediately discontinued.
Shawn Seward It was actually more effective than the Mantis, but its prohibitive cost precluded its widespread use in combat so its development was halted. The technology used in its conception was applied to the next generation of MJOLNIR armor variants and used in the development of the Mantis.

Dude... I was a kid when I watched this. I don't remember any of it except the head cutting scene. It traumatised me for some reason. No one's fault but my own lmao. I couldn't remember the name or anything of it for years, until today. Glad I came back to it and saw it properly.
that elite has no honor
Well, it takes a lot of honour to turn planets full of inferior armed enemies and civilians to glass from the bridge of a starship.....
+Lewis Carlin but the elites usually allow the human to die a warrior, on their feet with their hands around someone's throat
Pretty sure the Sangheili honestly didn't give a fuck about ~allowing humans to die as warriors,~ considering they were the driving force behind the deaths of BILLIONS of them... almost NONE of whom would have been in any way combat-competent, statistically.
Thel 'Vadam SOMETIMES fought honorably, when facing armed soldiers on the ground, but he was noted as being the first Elite to exhibit that behavior. For the most part, they just kind of mowed humans down indiscriminately and cared fuck all about being ~honorable~ while doing so. They were on a mission of extermination, not subjugation, after all - "honor" wouldn't exactly be high on the list of priorities.
I mean, fuck, that would be like us worrying about "honor" when wiping out rat colonies, and letting them try to ~fight back~ LMAO
The Sangheili are by far my favorite race, but c'mon, let's not make them out to be something they aren't.
So your favorite race aren't human? FREAKING XENO! FREAKING HERETIC! BURN! GET PURGED! RAHHHH!! I'M CALLING THE IMPERIUM OF MANKIND ON YOUR ASS! - Random God Emperor worshipper
ZEROXX Dirgud he did die A Warrior's death
Served you Planet well Baird you will be remembered 🙏
;-; baird died awesome
The first F-bomb dropped in Halo (to my knowledge) was from the most Scottish man in the galaxy. This feels right.
How have I never heard this story before, that was fucking Awesome!
For some reason, I think they might have missed an opportunity. Imagine this guy as a spartan-4. A pissed, Marv-looking dude in spartan armor.
I'm glad he was spared that fate.
Baird is literally halo’s doomguy
What an absolute fucking unit this guy was.
This is the kind of game 343 should make in parallel with the mainline Halo games.
18:02, can we just take a moment to take in the size of Baird, he's standing face to face with that elite so either that elite is smaller than average or Baird is just a complete beast.
What do you mean by that?
@@andresherrera2902 he means that elites usually tower over humans when we see them compared, but in this, Baird and the elite are almost the same size
He’s gotta be at least 7’
@@andresherrera2902 most elites are taller than Spartans IIs
OFFICIAL PETITION TO ELEVATE BAIRD TO GODHOOD, EXIST TO SIGN
I love it.
When I hear him I just envision Kal Skirata as Josh Adams portrays him.
Who would in a fight? A galactic juggernaut hellbent on decimating humanity, or Michael "whot tha focks ah cancah?" Baird?
I love this dude. Absolute unit of a marine.
I'll always appreciate the blink-and-you'll-miss inclusion of the Prototype mech suit. A nice appetizer of interconnected worldbuilding.
it's just cancer XD
Pharaoh Phlo Oh how... CANCEROUS!!!XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Pharaoh Phlo what a time to be alive. Where cancer has been so thoroughly cured that it’s a barely remembered throwback.
Or how we call it tumpler
@@Mister_Kourkoutas yeah what a time to be alive when you have aliens running around wiping entire planets of human life
I wish they still made Halo like this. Fingers crossed Infinite is a good game
út ís
Spoiler alert, it was half assed.
@@SpartanJoe193 decent multiplayer
Story was good
Campaign lvls need.room to improve
Sadly Infinite was ass.
Rip halo
Yup, ghost died with his prototype armor just to save this
RIP... Halo's equivalent of a Space Wolf.
Gam3rGuy10 * For the Emperor?
yes it is like ong wolf in soaçe
I love the art style for these, the Elites size is off but these lil halo legends films are great
While this acts as a sequel to that Halo Legends episode, its actually based off of a short story from a Halo book.
The elite size isn’t off, Baird is just massive
Bird is massive. And the Elites size has varied loads throughout the games. They've been slowly getting ridiculously huge. They were similar size to Master Chief in CE, who is like 7ft 2in.
He was just about as big as the damn elite, this guy was a beast of human being, his sacrifice saved humanity. I don’t think I want to face a grunt then, did you see how fast his trigger finger was ? Shot the pistol so fast it was comparable to a plasma rifle, I’m really intrigued, this video shows the physical attributes and mental ones of the covenant during this war that nearly led to the complete and utter annihilation of mankind as a species. 11:53 12:10
This man is as tall as an elite and he ain’t a Spartan
Damn, the last video THE Mona Lisa was epic, please make more of these epic Halo videos!
343's Halo In A Nutshell At 1:04. XD.
I just creased
16:42 And there we have the most badass man in the history of humanity
WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE GOOD STYLED ELITE IN THE GAMES WHEN YOU CAN ACCEPT THOSE BEAUTIFULL DRAWS
500 years later, the common soldier still doesn't know what a augment is oh the irony
To be completely honest if we somehow found a way to contain plasma and then passed it threw any human's torso.. They will not know their face from their ass.. FACT!
ñoóe
damn this guy is a fucken savage
Fanally ghost from halo legends is cannon yes
The Babysitter episode is canon too. One of those ODSTs was Dutch from Halo 3: ODST.
Homecoming is also Canon and (correct me if I'm wrong) the one that had the Arbiter in it is also Cannon
Everything in Halo Legends is canon. Except Spartan 1337.
@@annmaryjohn3258 1337 will always be cannon in my books
I love the little detail that you can see ghost from Halo Legends story The prototype in the transmisson from Algolis at the beginning
I love how this, prototype and I believe the Cole Protocol all intertwine
Was that ghost in the prototype suit at 0:28?
A Soviet Tank Yep
yeß
Baird hitting the elite and then taunting it face to face is the epitome of badass
I miss the old days of Halo Waypoint back when it was an app...what happened? I mean they'd make these, put new episodes of RvB out, and random lore videos too it was great.
Wait, it was an app?
The app still exists dude
He made it count, always remember *weeps*
0:28
The spartan looking thing is actually off of Halo legends if haven't seen it yet
Thats a MJOLNIR experimental suit. Its from the Prototype short in Halo Legends. It was basically a less effective Mantis. But they were rarely used in combat, and almost immediately discontinued.
Shawn Seward
It was actually more effective than the Mantis, but its prohibitive cost precluded its widespread use in combat so its development was halted.
The technology used in its conception was applied to the next generation of MJOLNIR armor variants and used in the development of the Mantis.
Baird would’ve been a terrifying spartan he was just like Jay but he did it all with shear hate
y love the voice of the soldier nice acent and this lads was a best the ways he die PURE BAD ASS TO THE ENDS
