*11 years later* 0:38 - What can I say, it was a hell of a game. I remember pulling an all nighter to finish the game and the sun was starting to rise when he said that line. Couldn't have finished a game more on time than that.
It makes me feel bad on additional play throughs. It makes me play stealthier because I know each firefight is going to be grueling, especially if they're giving shields off
MegaNovaNation Well, last time I gave a girl armor plating she thanked me, walked away, and the next name she had changed her name and moved to another place :/
such a good ending. it speaks to me in a werid way. it shows me how no matter how lost or alone you feel in the moment, things can come around in the end, and that "hell of a night" you had can only make you a better person in the end. growing from your experiences and pushing forward when you're at your lowest is the greatest way to achieve success.
i hope one day a new game comes along that can capture my feeling in such a way that this one did, and if halo infinite is the one, it sure is gonna be great.
She always wanted us to be the ones holding the keys to the Halo array. Because we were the ones who fought the Flood, sacrificed to attempt to contain it, and in return, the Forerunners euthanized and lobotomized us. If not for humans, the Forerunners would've been consumed long before the Halo array could be completed. She especially didn't want those keys in the hands of the Didact.
Well yeah she had complete faith, have you not played Halo 4? The Librarian basically told Chief and Cortana that she through gene plans brought them and all humanity to where they were then. However I don't think she foresaw or planned the Covenant or it's insane religion to form and threaten humanity's continued existence.
Jeff Josephs Maybe because if the Covenant and humanity had not gone to war then the Flood would have not resurface and there would not have been any need for the Chief.
halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:Halo_3_Comic_-4.JPG Humanity had no previous recollection of the Forerunners.

Okay guilty question: was I the only one who squeed a bit when the Engineer lights Johnson's cigar? It's almost too cute a moment for a Halo game (though still glad it's in there regardless). X)
I don't know why but to me it seemed like a start to some kind of military buddy action movie like you to the truth I'm running around with guns blowing shit up
Screw that, it still makes the damn thing look cute. You can't tell us that making it have beady eyes wasn't an attempt to make us sympathize with it more, and lighting a cigar just makes the engineer cooler.
EASTER EGG: At the engineer cutscene, if you look to your left with the tumbstick, it will show Buck touching the monkey from Halo 3. This also happens in Halo Reach, at the end of the game if you look to your right when it shows the pelican landing inside the pillar of autum, it will show Master Chief in a Cyro tube.
@@owl9660 Fuck yeah it is. Infinite's campaign was definitely great but left some things to be desired and the multiplayer, not talking about how scummy 343 seems to have gotten with the monetization, is pretty damn good. Almost like a mix of 3 and Reach with how smooth it is. Not perfect, but like you said, back with promise.
Not anywhere near the caliber during the bungie era of Halo. Martin O'Donnell is one of the best composers who has ever lived. It's a shame the new halo's don't have him =/
+Samantha Sanchez Oh you mean the other Hali games where you're not a walking army with limited health with a unique story and a bad ass character along with a plethora of great characters in a game that rivals reach in how great and amazing it is. I forgot about those ones
Same here maybe he wasnt like chief but he was still the best side charachter ever i also am still pissed at them who could they kill him off whats their reason anyway to kill johnsson off please someone give me a answer to that burning question
One of my favorite endings to a game idky but the jazz and Buck saying "it was hell of a night" was just awesome and showed how much Bungie loved Halo.
The shot from 2:40 to 3:12 is one of the prettiest shots in all of Gaming. And the final play on the main musical theme with the strings closing it up is brilliance.
KidOmegaByte would of been good 😣😣😣fuck why. They could of had a team of odst Spartans but no they kill rookie Dutch went home to his wife and daughter. Mickey is on the bad human side. The insurrection. Rookie would of been a quiet type. I'm hoping they can just say he's alive just to expand the halo universe.
@@UltimateDoomSoldier well I like to think that most of tge book didn't happen, and Rookie is off kicking ass, chewing gum and sleeping under stairs somewhere.... And he's all out of gum
@@UltimateDoomSoldier I mean Mickey wasnt on a bad side, its complicated. Rebels arent bad they just want to live by themselves not under UNSC's shadow. They mostly live in poverty because UNSC doesnt care about them but they also dont let them leave UNSC. So i guess Mickey wasnt on a bad side at all
@@UltimateDoomSoldier imagine 343 decided to Make Jun Osiris team leader, Buck second In command, then Rookie as Osiris's playable character, and Locke as another member
Chealseay Gist no they didn't, until the covenant came digging in new Mombasa. Then they found that it was s forerunner portal directly to the arc that was supposed to be discovered by humanity.
When I was a kid playing this game I never made it to the end. I always was confused on directions so I wandered everywhere always confused, the best part is that it entertained me
Considering the Chief hitched a ride with Truth back to Earth, and Truth is in this cutscene, then possibly the moment here is immediately before Halo 3. While the Chief is getting recovered out in the Jungle, Truth is inspecting the Portal.
Mik Moen I would agree woth you, except when Chief was being recovered out of the Jungle in Africa, Johnson was there with him with the Arbiter. He can't be in two places at once. So I'm willing to bet this takes place just before or right when Chief returns to Earth aboard Truth's Forerunner Dreadnaught, before Johnson is sent out to recover Chief.
It was underneath an entire established city. They couldn’t just destroy and dig. And given the small size of alpha site they didn’t truly know the grand scale of the artifact. The covenant “excavation” beams are what uncovered its vast majesty to us/ basically in a way helping us and making them do the hard work.
Gotta love Johnson! He makes buddies with a Hugarok and he turns the Arbiter and all the Sanghelli race who would support him to aid in humanity's cause. Truly, he was one of the most important people humanity had during the war.
LOL I mean it is true...I think the only one with a semi positive ending was Buck, good news is he's a spartan 4. bad news is he's apart of the halo 5 story and that story isn't canon to true halo fans :(
@@RampantFury925 Most people are pissed because of what happened to Rookie. They basically killed him off-screen, in a semi-canon book, which really upset everyone.
3:09 All of what the covenant just glassed was new Mombasa, that’s how vast the metropolis was. 2:49 if you pause at the bottom left of the screen towards the city in the middle is where you play in halo 2
Yes, that's Old Mombasa, but you also play in New Mombasa in Halo 2. The mission called Metropolis that begins with the push over a massive bridge? That is a bridge spanning that same body of water you see above. The bridge takes you from Old Mombasa (outskirts) into New Mombasa (downtown), by my understanding.
Needs an HD reboot. I loved the original though. Firefly crew, with Number 6 thrown in; so many shades of awesome I can't even begin to count them. I loved playing it, back when I still had a 360. But that was then and this is now. If this was on an Xbone in HD, Mr Credit Card would take a hit for the ODST team. F*** Sony. F*** PC Elite (did I just say that. My graphics card costs more than an Xbone console...) Indeed. Party on Halo: ODST. :)
I've had this game for years and never bothered to beat it...until I recently got the Halo Master Chief Collection. Now, I LOVE this game. I was a fool for so long!
inaudibleThrash Humanity refers to the Portal as "the Ark" or "Artifact" since they didn't know what it actually was. In Halo 3, Miranda even says "we have to assume its the Ark" because there's no real reason why the Covenant would be interested otherwise. But yeah I liked that too, how they showed this big metal thing that the Covenant are so interested in and then say "we're not gonna say what it is"... Actually it was a really nice way of bridging Halo 2 and 3, since at the start they show In-Amber-Clad escaping and then showing this Portal at the end. Lovely little bridge made there.
Brandon Brewer Not really! I remember people bitching about these graphics, and going on about how good Modern Warfare 2 looked. Funny enough, the gameplay of this looks 5 times better than that grayscale crap now. Hell, I'm amazed that there are some missions in Halo 4 that make me still go "woah!"
Marty O'Donnell, as usual, fucking knocked it out of the park on this one. The music (especially this scene, at 2:46) is downright orgasmic, it's fucking amazing.
Meanwhile Noble 6 is out there alone fighting off hoards of zealots :( rest in peace reaper, you're the real MVP in the halo franchise, if it wasn't for Noble 6 the covenant would've gotten Cortana and the humans would've no doubt lose the war
12 years later and only now do i notice the panda and tiger, i swear you notice new details in video games every other month or something. it's at the first two seconds to the far left.
This game is criminally underrated.

@@RampantFury925 Most people are pissed because of what happened to Rookie. They basically killed him off-screen, in a semi-canon book, which really upset everyone.
@@Resi1ience All of the books except The Flood, are canon.
3:09
All of what the covenant just glassed was new Mombasa, that’s how vast the metropolis was.
2:49 if you pause at the bottom left of the screen towards the city in the middle is where you play in halo 2
Yes, that's Old Mombasa, but you also play in New Mombasa in Halo 2. The mission called Metropolis that begins with the push over a massive bridge? That is a bridge spanning that same body of water you see above. The bridge takes you from Old Mombasa (outskirts) into New Mombasa (downtown), by my understanding.
Still today I don't understand how Romeo didn't die. That was one hell of a hit by a freaking Brute.
Probably his rifle
This was probably my favorite Halo game to date.
Me when 2020 ends: what can I say was a hell of a night
Needs an HD reboot. I loved the original though. Firefly crew, with Number 6 thrown in; so many shades of awesome I can't even begin to count them. I loved playing it, back when I still had a 360.
But that was then and this is now. If this was on an Xbone in HD, Mr Credit Card would take a hit for the ODST team. F*** Sony. F*** PC Elite (did I just say that. My graphics card costs more than an Xbone console...)
Indeed. Party on Halo: ODST. :)
Xbox one on master chief collection I think it's about $6
@@WaTeRLuNgS100 i got it free from gold
Little did you know that the master chief collection would come to pc
The notifications of your friends coming online really takes away from this video.
I've had this game for years and never bothered to beat it...until I recently got the Halo Master Chief Collection. Now, I LOVE this game. I was a fool for so long!
5:00 I love how Rookie is always sleeping, lmao.
I can't believe that the O.D.S.T just let the covenant destroy New Mombasa like that
It was already gone, too small of a squad, and the battle of the Ark had to bee fought, were the priority was.
What were they suppose to do the unsc was crippled at this point if it were not for the arbiter and the elites all life in the galaxy would be lost.
it was a shitty town anyway
who else here thinks that the best part is the alien lighting the cigar? :D

Brings back memories. I really enjoyed this game. Especially the legendary ending.
What an epic ending! I beat this on Legendary, but never knew about this ending.
I honestly though that Truth was gunna press a button on his chair and detonate all those poor cowering Huragok.

Just finished a legendary run of this game and came back to watch this video again and it says uploaded 10 years ago. Jesus Christ I'm old.
I think it's so cool how the ark was placed on earth and how they don't directly tell you what the camera view was showing
TrixterCharizard Thats the portal. The Ark isn't even in the galaxy
inaudibleThrash lol
Eric Ruiz >:?
inaudibleThrash Humanity refers to the Portal as "the Ark" or "Artifact" since they didn't know what it actually was. In Halo 3, Miranda even says "we have to assume its the Ark" because there's no real reason why the Covenant would be interested otherwise.
But yeah I liked that too, how they showed this big metal thing that the Covenant are so interested in and then say "we're not gonna say what it is"...
Actually it was a really nice way of bridging Halo 2 and 3, since at the start they show In-Amber-Clad escaping and then showing this Portal at the end. Lovely little bridge made there.
The UNSC originally assumed that the Portal was the Ark, but as it turns out, the Portal actually leads _to_ the Ark.
Coastal highway was so bad, but so good on legendary, stupid hard
"aw cmon......i don't want one a those things in here!" hahahaha:D
The OST in this Halo is phenomenal!
The last cutscene for halo 3 ODST is just so awesome
This is my favorite campaign out of all of the Halo games
Even Reach?
You're joking Jai-006, there's no way this is your favorite.
+skullcrusher701 It was unique
i feel you, this game at great atmosphere.
I didn't remember the game being low-poly and having lowres textures...
***** Its weird, as graphics on new games improve, instead it just feels like the graphics on the old ones are getting worse.
***** ikr
RANCH STEAM i can see what you're saying
It was a time when people enjoyed the game more than graphics
Brandon Brewer
Not really! I remember people bitching about these graphics, and going on about how good Modern Warfare 2 looked.
Funny enough, the gameplay of this looks 5 times better than that grayscale crap now. Hell, I'm amazed that there are some missions in Halo 4 that make me still go "woah!"
Probably one of my favorite halo games ever
I love how the whole time this is going on Rookie’s just sleeping under the stairs
Love rookie for that
Facial expression and movement of the characters remind me of Half Life 2.... and Disney movies. :p
Huragok are cool as shit.
Marty O'Donnell, as usual, fucking knocked it out of the park on this one. The music (especially this scene, at 2:46) is downright orgasmic, it's fucking amazing.
The shot of the covenant ships flying over a scorched Mombasa as the music plays makes the whole war seem bleak for the humans.
I know what the alien's like
Meanwhile Noble 6 is out there alone fighting off hoards of zealots :( rest in peace reaper, you're the real MVP in the halo franchise, if it wasn't for Noble 6 the covenant would've gotten Cortana and the humans would've no doubt lose the war
No, he was already dead by then.
12 years later and only now do i notice the panda and tiger, i swear you notice new details in video games every other month or something.
it's at the first two seconds to the far left.
I love this franchise so much.
