What a journey it has been. For a time we weren't sure this video would ever be happening, but I'm glad it finally did. As far as the edit goes, it is both a very normal edit for me, while being completely new. I wanted to show off the gameplay as best I could, while highlighting the end of the story that Mike and I began with M9. I really hope you enjoy the story we've created, because I think it shows how fun it was to make. Mike, you've been a huge member of this community and while it's mostly died out, it has been great to be able to work on this last video with you. You have been a true friend and like an older brother to me for years and I am forever grateful for that, so thank you. I wish you well in whatever you decide to do next, and I can't wait to see where that door leads you. Much love everyone, and I hope you enjoy M10!
Oh Mike you will be sorely missed my man. This was an absolute banger - I’m sad that I missed it when it came out, but you completely took the game to new heights over the years. Unbelievable clips. Life goes on, but I will always remember you as a life-giver to this community. Your many contributions helped keep it going over the years, and we should all be in your debt for that. Miss you 😢 And Aaron, if you read this, fantastic work. You are so skilled and pristine as an editor, I’ve become immune to how good it is in a way.
that 360 naire is one of a kind. the h2 laso never-been-done-before challenge can eat my ass it ain't no 360 naire beautiful video boys. despite being on a myriad of anti-depressants i still felt something when watching this, which is quite a feat. love both of y'all, the montage community over the past few years wouldn't have been the same without you
Man, this really was the right collaboration to conclude the main montaging series. Love Aaron running free with the 3D. So happy to have seen a few of these live and share those moments with you.
This was fantastic, we have never been too close but have always respected you as a video maker and what you have contributed to the scene. I think you will succeed in any path you choose. Thanks for the great videos. Also that last clip. Also double AA KILLED it with the edit. Those credits are something else.
Finally getting a chance to comment on this. Such a perfect video. Incredible gameplay with not a single filler and an effective edit with that trademark nostalgic feel you are known so well for. Not to mention, by FAR the best 3D work from Aaron so far. Such a cool concept that you’ve followed through two videos and this was the perfect way to cap it off. Mike, this gp is simply ridiculous. You were always one for going for the flashiest stuff possible and this tage firmly cements you as a Halo 3 legend. First 360 naire. Well done. But, on a more personal note, you’re one of the nicest and most heartfelt people I’ve met in this community and I am so grateful to have gotten to know you both through Halo and IRL. Perfect finale for your time in this community. Love ya man ❤️
Glad the 360 Naire was finally given the public spotlight. Man, I can’t believe this is M10 and 2022. What an incredible video from the both of you. Seriously top tier and similarly to your last few big ones, made me hella emotional. Keep doing this community proud. You’re making me miss every aspect of it.
Fucking incredible. Thank you for everything you've done for this community. I'm grateful to have known you all these years and am excited to see where life takes you next. Much love, Mike
Watched this about 10 times now and still struggling to put my thoughts into words, so for now I will just say that this was fucking amazing. Thank you for being an inspiration over the years ishii, I wish you the best because you deserve it :)
Very nice, gameplay was insane as expected and I loved the change of pace with the editing. Also can't believe you went for that 360 naire on console, I never even thought about attempting that til pc came around. Glad we got 1 last vid from you
My gawd I don’t even know where to start!! Absolutely legendary clips holy cow and doubleAA’s editing was phenomenal By far one of my favorite montages.
Absolutely phenomenal. It was different than what I expected from a double AA edit but very enjoyable. He really nailed the end of a journey kind of feel and the gameplay still amazes me after all these years watching you and other goats like Darren increase h3's standards further and further. I think it was the first 360 noscope naire I've ever seen. After the noscope naires and the naires exterm, a new milestone has been reached. Perfect way to end the journey.
Bonkers. Can't believe u actually hit a 360 naire. Sad to see this being the end of your journey but I totally get it, the game's mostly dead and the community is in a similar scenario. Thanks for the hours of entertainment provided through your videos Ish, you'll forever be one of the greats.
My guy just put on the video premiere and then just ended the stream when the vid was done. Legend. Amazing send off. Like literally that's all I can say, I'll miss this era of halo content from you Mike, despite it completely dying down and is basically dead at this stage. This video was a simple yet impactful goodbye to taging. Aaron with the more simpler but clearer editing choice, but with some extremely well done 3D animation work (probably some of the smoothest 3D work you've done too Aaron), it fits the vibe super nicely. The highlight for me though, is the gameplay. Really good choice to have basically no fillers in this video, it's a much shorter video than M9, but god damn the gameplay has no dull moments. Amazing ricochet multis (that cold storage troc below rockets boggled my fucking mind) and swipes with the snipe, the closer (nice job winning against zuby on that challenge) was insane. Stick naire into stick x2 on heretic turkey fiesta, rico tac on citadel ts, lifter qs troc into poc on narrows, just so many dream clips. Unreal GP. I hope to see you still around, but as a conclusion to your taging days, been an honor man. Been here before M9 came out but it's felt like ages. Loved this video from both of you guys. Won't forget ya as an inspiration for montaging Michael
Mike, I'm sorry I couldn't catch the premiere of this live when it was happening, I didn't realize how monumental this one was going to be. Thank you so much for the memories man, I know we aren't super close or anything but seeing your clips over the years was one of the main reasons I started to check out montages in the first place. A few of the clips in this one have lived rent free in my head ever since I first saw them posted and it was great seeing them again in this video. I know you are going to kick ass no matter where you go from here. Just know that your impact on the scene stretches far beyond any sort of analytics or anything like that, and I appreciate you for how genuine you've always been. Much love to you, Mike.
Incredible finale ishii. Think he all treasure those halo 3 360 days. Watching your videos since I stopped playing Halo was one of the few things that sometimes reignited my love for the series and gave me the urge to come back. Miss playing with you and all the others back in the day. Hope whatever you're moving onto provides fulfillment
What a ride it's been. Although we haven't talked much in the past few years, I'll always cherish the memories made in the golden days on 360. I remember being baffled by every new clip/video you showed me, raising the bar again and again. And while a lot of things have changed, that's something that held true till the very end. After half a dozen finals, I think you can finally close this chapter in good conscience having brought us one last masterpiece. Wish you all the best Mike, just don't forget us!
Great video! It's amazing there were still so many talented people after so many years. You are one of the good people and players I have met since Halo came to PC.
Real comment time, very good montage, reminded me of a 2010s montage. The 4v4 tast on Cold Storage is lowkey my fav clip. Great job! Hope you've been well!
A perfect ending man this was such a crazy montage from the clips to the editing it had such a nostalgic feel. You were one of my favorite halo people in the community when I was playing it’s crazy to see how far you’ve come and how many insane clips you’ve hit along the way ❤️
this video made me so happy, i'm glad you guys were able to make it happen. insane gameplay throughout, your 360s and ricochets are always top notch. thanks for all your contributions to this community, i'll be coming back to your videos for years to come. on a more personal note, thanks for being one of the first people to really bring me into this side of the halo community. i'm glad to have shared some of those moments on the 360 with you, especially causing irreparable damage to my hands in our 30 minute octagons good luck on your next chapter!
not possible to make an elaborate comment on this, so ill just say thank you to ishii for always inspiring me to go beyond normal clips and to keep going on halo. this video was perfect aaron, great job on this you did mikes ridiculous gameplay justice. perfect video ill be coming back to for a very long time
Thanks for the great video guys, the last 3 montages in this series have been legendary. Ishii you’re forever one of the montage goats dude I hope you have some fun and enjoy whatever you’re onto next ❤️
Thank you for the memories man. This video is a great end to an amazing chapter with Halo 3. You, Kampy, Hyena, & Trevx64 inspired me to appreciate/participate in montaging. Without you, alot of us wouldnt be making videos ❤️ Every interaction ive had with you was kind and wholesome. You are an amazing/talented guy Mike. Take care dude, and may the force be with you. :)
Thanks for hitting a 360 naire man. I can finally rest after missing it myself almost a decade ago. Time really did fly. To all my fellow Halo 3 xbox 360 players; I hope you all are doing well and best of luck in life. -Cri Cra Crowny
M7 would've been the last right😂 I'm ready for this. Makes me happy you are still going at it together with some of the E&F group. Haven't seen it yet, but you already made me smile ✌🏼

We grow up and games change. But our memories with Halo sit deep in our hearts forever.
Cringe comment but yes I agree

beautiful video boys. despite being on a myriad of anti-depressants i still felt something when watching this, which is quite a feat. love both of y'all, the montage community over the past few years wouldn't have been the same without you
Hope the 360 naire gets talked about forever.
Even having the opportunity to go for one is extremely difficult on its own. All time clip for sure
360 naire > h2 laso 😭
Also the fact that it was a radar read is insane
@@N00bSIayerabsolute insanity 10/10 clip
that fucking closer man, love you mate
Man, this really was the right collaboration to conclude the main montaging series. Love Aaron running free with the 3D. So happy to have seen a few of these live and share those moments with you.
That ending really gave me the feels. It really has been over 10 years.
Thanks for giving us one last Ishii montage ❤

Goal of mine I have always had since I started.
Amazing job guys, thank you for what you’ve done ishii. Legend forever
Fucking incredible. Thank you for everything you've done for this community. I'm grateful to have known you all these years and am excited to see where life takes you next. Much love, Mike

No way you actually got a 360 naire… unbelievable video altogether, definitely going to be coming back to this one a lot
From matching in multi team lobbies over a decade ago to now ❤️
TH-cam algorithm bless this video! Thank you both so much Ishii and DoubleAA. So much heart in this edit
Loved the vid, absolutely phenomenal clips and editing. Really like the thing that happened at 4:51. Will definitely watch for the first time later!
The floor bangers are absolutely redonkulous, great montage!

Amazing videos guys. For some reason that 360 tac on narrows is my favorite clip. I remember watching it on twitter and audibly freaking out.

Incredible
Simply Incredible!
I have not played halo with you in probably 8 years by now. (Gamer tag was Pivoda) miss you bro. This was insane to watch.
very cool
Thank you for the memories man.
This video is a great end to an amazing chapter with Halo 3.
You, Kampy, Hyena, & Trevx64 inspired me to appreciate/participate in montaging. Without you, alot of us wouldnt be making videos ❤️
Every interaction ive had with you was kind and wholesome. You are an amazing/talented guy Mike. Take care dude, and may the force be with you.

No ricochet from top mid narrows. Is this even an Ishii montage? The 360 naire gets you a pass this time.
Really good clips, but fix the FOV man
Centered snipe clips are so ugly
Not enough exterms. 🗑
