I do like these videos, but I'd preferred if this was written by someone who actually likes Halo and doesn't try to make fun of it at every turn. This is very unlike me to say, but here I'd actually want facts instead of jokes. Newcomers should be greeted with Halo's awesomeness, not... this. The Assassin's Creed one was awesome, imo.
im listening to this while watching the Halo reach ending sad but i think nobel six did survive because all that aas left of him was his helmet he might have escaped to go help the militia take back reach
Yes it was, but it is quite clear from the books (which he makes references to) that Fred, Kelly, and Linda, as well as several other Spartans, all remain accounted for.
I'll give you credit for the "5" minutes, but it's not a full explanation at all. In fact, you could have described the flood's primary food source being calcium rather than saying "nom nom nom". Nevertheless, you didn't even try to describe key things such as the fall of reach, the wars between Koslovics, Friedens, and eventually the U.N. If anyone wants to know what the Halo franchise actually is you must read through the Halo Encyclopedia and for some of the experience, the books and games are good for that (music and movies too :D).
Short and sweet: I have played and I own EVERY halo game, I liked 1, loved 2, loved 3, and personally think halo 4 was amazing, I have to agree about the final boss fight, the armor and also the AI love thing but except that, I think it was pretty well executed, and after waiting for so long, I was glad to see master chief come back to the fight.
"Despite being 6000 miles wide, Halo rings apparently don't show up on telescopes." Dumb attempt at trying to be smart. We aren't even able to visibly see another star system's planets let alone see it's rings or moon, let alone a tiny (in perspective) little halo ring.
That was actually very well done. I'm also glad to see the ODST reference in there. Although it was different than the others, I still enjoyed it for what it was, and I would love to see a sequel...after Halo 5 of course.
As a Spartan-II, he is unable to feel sexual(and perhaps also romantic?) attraction. And Cortana was created when John was an adult, so it's much more likely that he sees Cortana's "mother" Dr. Halsey as a mother figure than Cortana.
It's wired how this is kind of based on the bible because the Flood from Noah's Arc and Master Chief has to go visit a place called The Arc and Master chief is Descend to Safe the World and how he is a Heretic that will never DIE!!! The numbers he uses 117 are also in the Bible this is fascinating how a game is being Religious
IIIBumbleBeeIII Or maybe it's because the arc is like literally a WORD now and has a meaning, something something, everything around you dies but you survive in the arc which is safe (relatively, imagine it as if everything worth living is stored in the arc whilst the halo rings kill everything in the rest of the galaxy) world destruction is usually a common concept in games, heretic is something you would expect deeply religious people to call you? I hope you were joking about the 117 numbers, any number from 1-1000 is practically mentioned with meaning in the bible.
But I'm not so sure if the numbers 117 are in the Bible I'll give you that and the Theres too many things that are in Halo they would support the Bible
I got a 360 just to play the Halo and Gears franchises. I couldn't be any happier. I recently got Reach and beaten it 4 times on solo. That's how hyped up I was for this game. I love the oldschool FPS gameplay where you don't really aim down the sights, and the enemies don't die in 2 bullets. It's very mentally strategic and fun. My next game purchase is definitely Halo Anniversary. I cannot get enough of oldschool shooters, I find them more challenging and diversified because of the gameplay
I actually got a 360 just to play the Halo and Gears franchise. I was originally more excited about Gears, but in the end I actually found myself spending a lot more time with Halo instead. Halo Reach was my introduction to the franchise and is one of the best games I've played this gen. I've beaten the campaign 4 times, and it's not because of achievements, it's just because the game is so addictive. I love the oldschool FPS shooter mechanics the Halo games have.
BEST. FUCKING. EXPLANATION. HANDS DOWN. The way he narrated is exactly the way I feel about the series and the ending is perfect. Not a single second goes by when I think of Halo and I can only ask WTF is that?! Hilarious
Not being funny but i absolutely love Halo I've read all the books and played all the games. Nobody can make a Halo game like bungie but 343 really did Halo justice with Halo 4 and im excited to see the next game in the new trilogy.
I love the halo series, I grew up with it, but I drifted away from it when bungie gave it away to the other studio.. And I played halo 4 and it was alright it just didn't feel like "halo" now debating if I should get halo 5 or not...
It feels the exact same as the other Halo games in a lot of ways. It's funny people bitch about it the most considering gameplay wise, it plays better than any previous Halo in terms of balancing and everything else, and in terms of story it's also the most well presented and emotional Halo game because you actually have a real reason to care (we both know Cortana and Chief pretty well - so we can sympathize with their problems. Whereas in Reach you don't even know who your allies really were before they die.)
MLG Gaming just my opinion the space battle, falcon sequence and customization made it great even if we can't agree on that we both know it was better than ODST as was 4
I'm actually new to the series. I've beaten Reach 4 times and Halo 3 once. I have to say it's a spectacular franchise. I love the oldschool FPS gameplay where you don't really aim down the sights of your gun, and the enemies don't die in 2 bullets. I bought Halo anniversary and was hugely disappointed. I know it's a 10 year old game but I just feel like it doesn't stand the test of time. The story was awesome but the whole game was copy/pasted long boring corridors. Reach is the best for me
THANK YOU. finally someone agrees. Glad they brought him back...but not like this, my last memory of him, he saved the universe went to sleep...now its he's 50 very talkative now,and in love with his A.I, and he doesn't know if he has humanity? seriously?Bland villain, you see him like..what 3x and kill him in a freaking Quick time event? the graphics were great...yet nothing stood out to me, Like MAN i have to go reply that level...and mutiplayer..Oh my...I could go own forever about that -_-
Although i agree with you that the halo 4 story line and campaign is not up to standard it is still fun to walk through the amazing environments and experience the new weapons. The multi-player does feel a bit like COD but the armour abilities and the game types let you play the game how you want to, unlike in halo reach where everything is chosen for you in a multi-player match.
Like I said to the other guy. They've made a lot of changes sense launch. It's a lot more like Halo now. And for game types they got griffball, legendary slayer (which has no perks or loadouts), CTF, the new ricochet game type (which is awesome), and even more. And with the weapon tuning update the guns are balanced and feel like classic Halo.
In my own opinion I think that Halo is one of the best SciFi series. Its holding a balanced structure and a really intresting story. My most enjoyable Halo in the campaign was 3 and in MP Reach
6:02, 4 years later, Cortana wakes Chief, find a foreunner planet while drifting in space, find a promethean who wants to destroy humanity called Didact, Chief stops him, Cortana dies (pretty much) which was a waste because all those people on Reach died just for her...
You summed up everything that I couldn't put into words. However, I like the multiplayer in Halo 4. The villain however I completely agree. We saw him like 3 times and I didn't really care that he died. I was kind of like "Oh, I guess it's over now."
1) John 117 isn't the last Spartan alive. Even ignoring Spartan IIIs, Grey Team and Sgt Johnson (who MIGHT be a Spartan I), Kurt 051 was alive during the events of Halo 1-4. John 117 was on Reach along with literally every other living Spartan II in prep for Operation: Red Flag. When the Covenant Attack Reach, John was the only one to board the Halcyon-class cruiser The Pillar of Autumn and make an emergency Slip-Space jump away from Reach as it was being glassed with the remaining Spartan IIs still planetside fighting to hold the ground based MAC Gun Generators and/or protecting Dr. Halsey. After Reach fell, at least 8 Spartan II's survived: Anton-044, Grace-093, Li-008, Fred-104, Kelly-087, Linda-058, Will-043, Vinh-030 and Isaac-039. Vinh and Isaac were cut off from the survivors and are officially MIA, presumed KIA. 2) During the events of Halo 1, the humans released the Flood, not the Covy. 3) There were at least 7 survivors of Installation 04, not just Chief, Johnson and Cortana - Corporal Locklear, Lt Haverson, Warrant Officer Polaski, Spartan II Linda-058 and Thel 'Vadam (later given the designation of Arbieter).
As a story/solo gamer, that is why I liked Halo 4. I dont give a crap about multiplayer in any game. Hell, I play games like UMVC3 and Super Smash Bros by myself... XD
Halo fans don't really seem to like the changes 343 has done and because of those changes people started to hate it. I mean its 343's first try at the beloved Halo and they did a pretty damn good job at it. I can't wait for Halo 5 or whatever they are going to call it.
i thought the same thing but once i saw forward unto dawn (the little movie they made) it made more sense, Halo 4 still follows the story line very well. if you are to read the books and truly understand the story behind it, halo 4 has a amazing storyline
Maybe you didn't, but I knew what that was the moment I saw it, AND what it meant. I knew that was a Forrunner Planet and I knew that is what Halo 4 was gonna be based around. It was no surprise Halo 4 happened for me. I had been waiting ever since I first beat Halo 3 which was roughly 4 years ago, almost 5.
Just so everyone knows. There is MORE!. This is not the entire story. There's books, graphic novels. tv shows. and there will most likely be a movie. Its a war story on another level. The story isnt star wars, But they had a very good development that started it and with mild intelligence the story can be carried by a guitar.
Chief wasn't the only spartan accounted for: There were four remaining Spartan's who were accounted for, Fred 104, John 117, Kelly 087 and Linda 058. Chief was the only one who was close to earth and was chosen by Cortana as her bearer, that's why the story focuses on her. The other 3 spartans are on different worlds also fighting.
She is deteriorating due to rampancy brought on by old age. It is unknown whether getting back to Halsey would have helped (no other AIs have been rescued from rampancy). The portals accelerated her decline as did splitting off her rampant personalities on the Didact's ship. She stayed on the ship rather than escaping in the same way she saved the chief because she knew she was already finished.
Everyone has their opinions. The Halo 4 unlock system is good and the armour looks and sounds great. I wish they had the Kangaroo emblem like on the bushmasters in Australian Army.
I'm a huge Halo fan and I'm alright with how they killed off Cortana. She was close to death already and the actions she took to defeat the Didact (splitting herself up thus harming herself further and staying behind to save John) pretty much sealed her fate. If they bring her back it would downplay the depth of her sacrifice and they would have to pull a silly deus ex machina out of their asses in order to resurrect her. I'm looking forward to seeing how John is going to cope without her.
Yes it does make a difference! Especially in multiplayer! Halo used to be a competitive online matchmaking game where it required gaming skill to play, and kill a player. Now it's just like cod, spray and pray with your shitty custom load outs, perks and kill streaks. It is over powered. If I wanted to play a game with load outs and perks with 12 year olds who go around with rocket launchers and don't know how to have a dmr duel, I'd go and play mw3! At least there is more variety in that game
I know, but I was trying to explain the storyline in terms of concepts that are non halo fans would understand. I would not have been able to explain rampancy in the character limit, so I used an organic parallel, old age, which people do understand.
I need you to do a favor for me. Take a nearby Scrabble game, grab a handful of tiles, and eat them with the strongest laxative you can find. Then, once you've shitted out the tiles, come back here and tell us what it says. 'Cause it'll probably make more sense than that.
I agree, I hated the storyline of Halo 4. I can't quite put into words exactly what's wrong with it, but I know it's something that Bungie would never do. The only thing I liked was how Cortana was deteriorating, although I'm not fond of the way they pulled it off.
The Didact has an incredible backstory. We saw the grave mind once in halo 2. And he still wasn't in much of Halo 3. And no 343 isn't going to say fuck you to the fanbase, there too nice to do that, but I wish they would. 343 has done nothing but patch Halo 4 to match fan complaints ever sense launch. The game is a lot different now.
I didn't like Halo 4 at launch. But with all the patches and fixes they made, it's now a wonderful game. I just wish people would give it a second chance. Dam MS rushed 343 to get it out the door.
Everyone hated Halo 3 when it first came out. Same with halo 2, Reach, and ODST, but when a new game comes out everyone loves the older ones and hates on the current one. It's a Halo tradition. Halo 5 will come out and everyone will say "Man this game sucks, Halo 4 was much better!" Some will stick by their opinions that Halo 4 sucks but that's ok at least they gave it a chance. Halo 2 is my favorite, I loved the ending even though most people hated it.
I dont know, but somehow i think that they will bring back her and also Didact.If i remember correctly in second mission you can find audio log of dr Halsey saying that "even the acceptance of the 7-year life cycle estimates may not apply".I think they will (or Didact will) find some functional storage where Cortanas mind will be.Don´t know,we will see...
The only reason I accepted Reach was the fact it was a prequel, which is why they claimed there was no duel-wielding. The story wasn't bad, it was okay. At least it still made you feel somewhat for the characters. But when Cortana died in Halo 4, I wasn't crying because she died. I was crying because she had to die in a lousy Halo knock-off. And seriously, duel-wielding in Halo 3 but not 4? 4 was supposed to get back on track, not make it worse.
2:47 HE GOT KILLED TO DEATH?!?
THAT IS THE WORSE WAY TO DIE!!!
+Unknown dude No it's the worst way to be killed.
+iamhim to death
Don't call Arbiter's mandibles disgusting, that's hurtful.
To all the young teens out there, imagine our kids asking us, "what's Halo?". I know, scary right?
***** or the last of us or... I don't know Zelda? Mario? n64? god maybe the xbox 1?
***** lol wait WAIT.... call of duty advanced warfare
SirTerribad if they ask, i'd reply "it's the most monumental, life changing event in the history of the universe"

Sad that I'm 15 and most of my friends don't know halo and only play Fortnite and call of duty
Dunno why everyone hated Halo 4. I enjoyed the entire series of Halo. c;
I loved all of the halo games except for halo wars and spartan assault
Same, except for Halo 5, which was...
Okay.
@MOFELINEXT 2 I love halo 5s campaign while everyone else hates it
DecayedPheonix I think the game is decent on its own but compared to the previous halos it’s really, really bad imo
same
1:31 Everyone Trusts Him Because He has A British Accent

IGN should really do an updated version sometime soon
They did it
I got lost half-way through the video
One of the best exclusives on all consoles.
THE best exclusive.
b00gymonster1 yeah you are defiantly correct, like the only reason I'm getting the Xbox One
Pokemon is better
shellsamurai you thoght
Best exclusives, by console, are Halo for Xbox, Uncharted for PlayStation and Zelda for Nintendo, no doubt.
I agree my death was uncalled for
R.I.P SGT you will be missed
dude you should not have let that thing kill you man
Tinker bell caught me by surprise
Sgt Johnson hold on if your dead then how are you commenting on youtube
Jayden elkins Do you have to ruin the joke.

He's not making fun of it..
Yeah i agree
He's making it interesting instead of just talking tediously

Im from the future and this game came out 8 years ago
Holy crap it’s 10 years old wtf
11 now 😥
This video was 12 years ago, that's crazy to think about.
5:15 keyes was killed by truth not regret

Don't need this since Master Chief collection is coming out.

William Freeman True, true.
But graphics are good though and let me guess is that godzilla from godzilla vs destroyah

The ending is funny.
Sure is. LOL
Its Requiem that's what!

Oh look a button...
All I have to say is chickens with spikes. Does that make you angry Michael J. Caboose?
I stopped at "until only one remains accounted for."
Fred, Kelly, and Linda, as well as several other Spartans all remain accounted for.

Yes it was, but it is quite clear from the books (which he makes references to) that Fred, Kelly, and Linda, as well as several other Spartans, all remain accounted for.
very very true

Wow, never noticed that mistake
That was actually very well done. I'm also glad to see the ODST reference in there. Although it was different than the others, I still enjoyed it for what it was, and I would love to see a sequel...after Halo 5 of course.
ODST had the best firefight
5:14 Keyes is actually killed by Truth, not Regret. Regret got punched in the face in Halo 2. lol
Keyes is killed by Truth not Regret....
This is one of the best videos ever! Thank you IGN. This is a love letter and time capsule for the Halo franchise
Cortana? John's girlfriend/mom? More like sister.
oh god thats just sick. Your mom AND sister? Talk about incest
As a Spartan-II, he is unable to feel sexual(and perhaps also romantic?) attraction. And Cortana was created when John was an adult, so it's much more likely that he sees Cortana's "mother" Dr. Halsey as a mother figure than Cortana.
***** The medical procedure that made the Spartans badass also had side-affects such as a loss of sexual feelings.
The thing that makes them big causes it. According to The Fall of Reach.
***** Well, "Suppressed sexual drive", anyway.
very good summary, although Mirnda keyes is killed by Truth, not Regret
halo = the best game ever
This is so nostalgic.
Who thinks they should do a re-upload when halo 6 comes out? (unless they have another cliffhanger)
yep
definitely
the last halo I played was reach was halo 4 and guardians better
Simple answer, no
This game must have the most confusing plot in history. But it's still fun to play. xD
It's only confusing in 5 minute form. Being told over the course of a trilogy makes it pretty straightforward
Yeah I guess so. xD
Bobbie Carter try Mortal Kombat
Nope. That title still goes to Legend of Zelda
Legend of Zelda lol no please look up Kingdom hearts th-cam.com/video/xm-NoyqzGkY/w-d-xo.html
You made a mistake in this vid. Truth kills Miranda, not regret. Regret was killed by MC way before that.

That's where it intensifies. Where the real history of Halo takes place. I'm very excited to see what Halo 5's campaign will bring.
My suggestion for people who gave up on Halo 4 is to just try it again. I did and now I love Halo 4. And 343 helped on Reach.
1) John 117 isn't the last Spartan alive. Even ignoring Spartan IIIs, Grey Team and Sgt Johnson (who MIGHT be a Spartan I), Kurt 051 was alive during the events of Halo 1-4. John 117 was on Reach along with literally every other living Spartan II in prep for Operation: Red Flag. When the Covenant Attack Reach, John was the only one to board the Halcyon-class cruiser The Pillar of Autumn and make an emergency Slip-Space jump away from Reach as it was being glassed with the remaining Spartan IIs still planetside fighting to hold the ground based MAC Gun Generators and/or protecting Dr. Halsey. After Reach fell, at least 8 Spartan II's survived: Anton-044, Grace-093, Li-008, Fred-104, Kelly-087, Linda-058, Will-043, Vinh-030 and Isaac-039. Vinh and Isaac were cut off from the survivors and are officially MIA, presumed KIA.
2) During the events of Halo 1, the humans released the Flood, not the Covy.
3) There were at least 7 survivors of Installation 04, not just Chief, Johnson and Cortana - Corporal Locklear, Lt Haverson, Warrant Officer Polaski, Spartan II Linda-058 and Thel 'Vadam (later given the designation of Arbieter).
the surface is really pretty and has nice music hahaha. Loved the 5 min recap :)
Keyes isn't killed by Regret. Keyes is killed by Truth.
As a story/solo gamer, that is why I liked Halo 4. I dont give a crap about multiplayer in any game. Hell, I play games like UMVC3 and Super Smash Bros by myself... XD
i love halo but the multiplayer lacked ranked/competitive gameplay, and to fast pace, the story was absolutely amazing
Halo fans don't really seem to like the changes 343 has done and because of those changes people started to hate it. I mean its 343's first try at the beloved Halo and they did a pretty damn good job at it. I can't wait for Halo 5 or whatever they are going to call it.
i thought the same thing but once i saw forward unto dawn (the little movie they made) it made more sense, Halo 4 still follows the story line very well. if you are to read the books and truly understand the story behind it, halo 4 has a amazing storyline
Maybe you didn't, but I knew what that was the moment I saw it, AND what it meant. I knew that was a Forrunner Planet and I knew that is what Halo 4 was gonna be based around. It was no surprise Halo 4 happened for me. I had been waiting ever since I first beat Halo 3 which was roughly 4 years ago, almost 5.
0:11 THAT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME
That is the best opinion on Halo I've ever heard. Thank you!
Make a revised version with Reach and 4!
Just so everyone knows. There is MORE!. This is not the entire story. There's books, graphic novels. tv shows. and there will most likely be a movie. Its a war story on another level. The story isnt star wars, But they had a very good development that started it and with mild intelligence the story can be carried by a guitar.
we know this isn't the entire story, but it's the story of the games, which is how most people know about Halo.
Chief wasn't the only spartan accounted for: There were four remaining Spartan's who were accounted for, Fred 104, John 117, Kelly 087 and Linda 058. Chief was the only one who was close to earth and was chosen by Cortana as her bearer, that's why the story focuses on her. The other 3 spartans are on different worlds also fighting.
I love how you added the odst game in.
She is deteriorating due to rampancy brought on by old age. It is unknown whether getting back to Halsey would have helped (no other AIs have been rescued from rampancy). The portals accelerated her decline as did splitting off her rampant personalities on the Didact's ship. She stayed on the ship rather than escaping in the same way she saved the chief because she knew she was already finished.
Everyone has their opinions. The Halo 4 unlock system is good and the armour looks and sounds great. I wish they had the Kangaroo emblem like on the bushmasters in Australian Army.
I'm a huge Halo fan and I'm alright with how they killed off Cortana. She was close to death already and the actions she took to defeat the Didact (splitting herself up thus harming herself further and staying behind to save John) pretty much sealed her fate. If they bring her back it would downplay the depth of her sacrifice and they would have to pull a silly deus ex machina out of their asses in order to resurrect her. I'm looking forward to seeing how John is going to cope without her.
He's your answer to the question at 5:59
Ur-Didact:Welcome human, to Requiem
Yes it does make a difference! Especially in multiplayer! Halo used to be a competitive online matchmaking game where it required gaming skill to play, and kill a player. Now it's just like cod, spray and pray with your shitty custom load outs, perks and kill streaks. It is over powered. If I wanted to play a game with load outs and perks with 12 year olds who go around with rocket launchers and don't know how to have a dmr duel, I'd go and play mw3! At least there is more variety in that game
I know, but I was trying to explain the storyline in terms of concepts that are non halo fans would understand. I would not have been able to explain rampancy in the character limit, so I used an organic parallel, old age, which people do understand.
one of the best game series ever
I need you to do a favor for me.
Take a nearby Scrabble game, grab a handful of tiles, and eat them with the strongest laxative you can find.
Then, once you've shitted out the tiles, come back here and tell us what it says.
'Cause it'll probably make more sense than that.
I agree, I hated the storyline of Halo 4. I can't quite put into words exactly what's wrong with it, but I know it's something that Bungie would never do. The only thing I liked was how Cortana was deteriorating, although I'm not fond of the way they pulled it off.
The Didact has an incredible backstory. We saw the grave mind once in halo 2. And he still wasn't in much of Halo 3. And no 343 isn't going to say fuck you to the fanbase, there too nice to do that, but I wish they would. 343 has done nothing but patch Halo 4 to match fan complaints ever sense launch. The game is a lot different now.
I didn't like Halo 4 at launch. But with all the patches and fixes they made, it's now a wonderful game. I just wish people would give it a second chance. Dam MS rushed 343 to get it out the door.
Everyone hated Halo 3 when it first came out. Same with halo 2, Reach, and ODST, but when a new game comes out everyone loves the older ones and hates on the current one. It's a Halo tradition. Halo 5 will come out and everyone will say "Man this game sucks, Halo 4 was much better!" Some will stick by their opinions that Halo 4 sucks but that's ok at least they gave it a chance. Halo 2 is my favorite, I loved the ending even though most people hated it.
'and everyone trusts him because he has a British accent' i LOL'd so hard,
I dont know, but somehow i think that they will bring back her and also Didact.If i remember correctly in second mission you can find audio log of dr Halsey saying that "even the acceptance of the 7-year life cycle estimates may not apply".I think they will (or Didact will) find some functional storage where Cortanas mind will be.Don´t know,we will see...
Favorite line: "WTF is that" at the end hilarious
The only reason I accepted Reach was the fact it was a prequel, which is why they claimed there was no duel-wielding. The story wasn't bad, it was okay. At least it still made you feel somewhat for the characters. But when Cortana died in Halo 4, I wasn't crying because she died. I was crying because she had to die in a lousy Halo knock-off. And seriously, duel-wielding in Halo 3 but not 4? 4 was supposed to get back on track, not make it worse.
