I believe the cutscene at the end of H:CE "this is it baby, hold me" was just a Legendary only cutscene as a little joke. Theres a book I believe that at least somewhat details how Johnson escapes the Halo ring. The real answer is just he was a fan favorite so they chose to bring him back
I had the black ops 2 video pop up again in recommended today and I thought “You know it’s been a while since the CE playthrough, I wonder when he’ll upload Halo 2”. I expected a very painful playthrough and 5 hours means that was probably the case. I can’t wait.
Ok maybe base legendary isnt that bad. LASO is a different beast all together, for example that intro room on Gravemind is hell on earth, in case you arent aware here are the list of skulls for H2 LASO Anger - Enemies fire their weapons faster and more frequently. Assassins - All enemies in the game are permanently cloaked. Black Eye - Your shields only recharge when you melee enemies. Bash your way to better health! Blind - HUD and weapon do not display onscreen. Catch - Enemies throw and drop more grenades. Famine - Weapons dropped by AI have half the ammo they normally would. You might want to pack an extra magazine. Ghost - AI no longer flinch from attacks. Grunt Birthday Party - Grunt headshots lead to glorious celebrations. Iron - Death carries a heavy price. Dying in co-op resets you at your last saved checkpoint. Dying solo restarts the level. IWHBYD - Rare combat dialogue becomes more common. Mythic - Enemies have increased health. Sputnik - Mass of objects is decreased, making them more easily displaced. That’s Just…Wrong - Increases enemy awareness of player. Thunderstorm - Upgrades the rank of most enemies The skulls that make LASO so difficult are Iron, Thats Just.... Wrong, Famine, and Blackeye. That's Just Wrong, is where the Sniper Jackle meme comes from cause you kill 1 and all the others immediately snap to your position and dome you
2:11:44 Vehicle health in Halo 2/3 IS tied to your health, the "damaged" state is all cosmetic. A burning tank is just as resilient as a new undamaged tank, same with all vehicles. if anything the banshee having both broken wings is actually a good thing because it shrinks the wing hitbox slightly
Is that fully true though? I’m fairly certain that being in a damaged vehicle results in health depleting faster. Sure, you still have to die for the vehicle to explore, but the vehicle protects you less. That changed when Halo reach made vehicles tied to their own health pool. But I’m speaking from 15 year memories. I haven’t been involved in this franchise in about a decade.
@@ToliG123 didn't look at the code or anything, but the 100s of games of me going absolutely rabid at one dude in a Banshee on Ascension running the entire lobby made me come to the conclusion that it's completely tied to your health. Also vaguely remember testing it out in a custom match with a buddy. How much damage you take is only affected by what vehicle you're driving. IIRC 7 BR bursts or so can kill a warthog driver, but it takes much more for scorpion drivers, and that's just about the most variation in regards to vehicle health
@@coolbeans3635 In Halo 2, vehicle damage is mostly cosmetic, some vehicles do technically protect you less since there’s less of the vehicle to protect you, but for the banshee in particular, it always covers you anyway, so it’s actually harder to shoot a damaged banshee. In Halo 3, damaged vehicles straight up take more damage as they deteriorate, a full health scorpion can eat a spartan laser shot, but another shot after that will basically always kill you even if you have full shields. You can also destroy a ghost even if it has a rider by shooting its gas tank.
Not sure if anyone had said this yet. It should be noted that for Halo 3 you can read the terminals. The terminals in 1 and 2 were added in anniversary and have spoilers. That is not the case in Halo 3
I was grinning ear to ear during this entire video. It hurt seeing the carbine slander early on but watching it finally get its redemption was so satisfying.
ive been a halo fan nearly all my life and THIS is my first time both seeing Halo 2 in full and also experiencing it at all, i never had the OG Xbox and was told its only on there and I havent gotten the time to play it on MMC so this must say allot about how i view you as a content creator if ive never watched a play through in about 10 years and now im watching yours even though ive yet to experience it for myself
Doing these must take quite a long time. Not only do you have to play it all, but then go through all of it again when editing. Glad to have these playthroughs.
Halo 2 had one of the most infamous development cycles in gaming history. Bungie literally had people living at the office, going to sleep and waking up at their desks, just to get this game out the door in time. And even then, this game is notorious in the series for how much content ended up being cut. Weapons, enemies, and even entire levels were cut. 343 Industries (or I guess "Halo Studios" now) has a team of people that have actually managed to dig up and restore a lot of that content and make it playable, like the Halo 2 E3 mission, which did not actually end up in the final game. The reason it ends very suddenly is because there was actually supposed to be basically another act. That act ended up becoming Halo 3 because they just could not get it done in time for release. Wild that even with all that, the game still ended up being as good as it is. Looking forward to Halo 3!
Loved the playthrough It's so interesting watching people play and not instinctively shoot at the portals the sentinels come out of and forget the invisibility every flood level is pretty much a run through with that ability 😆😆
The feeling of accomplishing something stupidly difficult is worth the struggle IMO. That's what kept me going when trying to solo flawless Prophecy for the first time in D2 xd Then having Deep Space Lullaby play back in Orbit after finishing it? Pure bliss.
Awwww man Ive been waiting for this since your CE vid, and it actually made me try to, I'm on halo 3 legendary now. It's been a challenge lol. Love the vids man.
Love seeing you take on Legendary, and hearing your kind of zen gamer philosophy about difficulty. I feel the same way, or at least I love watching othre people take on these wild challenges, learn, grow, and overcome them. There's something beautiful about that. Plus the sheer childhood nostalgia Flooding back in for Halo 2, watching you rediscover this great franchise one game at a time.
Oh man, super excited for this! I'll have you know I'm watching this instead of studying for my finals, and I'm gonna fkin enjoy it! As someone who struggled to complete Halo 2 on heroic even on co-op, I can't wait to see how you get through this. Something I failed to mention in my comment on the last Halo video was how chill you seem to be. Like, you have such a chill attitude. This is something I didn't know I was craving from gaming communities. 2:00:30 "Come out, Arbiter!" "I'm gay" He did it, folks. Gay Arbiter is now canon in this playthrough.
There's just something about the Marines' dialogue that resonates with my soul. Halo 2 absolutely nailed the "battlefield humor" aspect of the military. They might be getting their asses kicked by the covenant, but the human spirit will always live on. No matter what it takes.
@@theeriecanal8875 Every campaign is coop too, CE and Halo 2 are 2 player and Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and 4 are all 4 player coop. They’re really fun games to play on the highest difficulty with a friend. (Except in Halo 2 if one of you dies it resets the checkpoint on legendary)
It's absolutely hilarious to see that the whole memory of sniper alley being so difficult is just that, a memory, nostalgia. You show very well why even a first-timer is able to clear it relatively fast with nothing but some thinking of strategy and not being hampered with the lack of patience a 6 year old would have :D That, and not being stuck to a controller Also that "come out, Arbiter!" "Okay! I'm gay!" made me crack up so hard, I love this series and your commentary style, please keep doing these ♥
I’ve been enjoying the hell out of you experiencing my favorite games for the first time. Honestly a lot of charm is seeing you learn as you go whether it be with the graphics toggle or anything gameplay wise.
looking forward to seeing you try ODST which takes place after the metropolis mission in halo 2. my advice for that game: "seek out all of the audio logs in the streets, and a mission will be made easier"
A 5+ hour edited video is nuts! I can only image how long that took. And of course, well done conquering legendary! I do think Halo 2 is hard relative to the rest of the series, but I also think (from a Halo fan perspective) it's easy to forget that it may not be as formidable when compared beyond its own franchise. In reality, you demonstrated that the difficulty is really a duel with patience. If you come in with that mindset (as you did), then it is very doable. All in all, a very enjoyable video. I'm looking forward to Halo 3!
S0ur you're a competent player that likes the challenge, I would turn on some skulls to make Halo 3 more of a challenge. Bungie made Halo 3 slightly less threatening because of complaints with 2, as a result it feels easier than CE or 2. Most of the skulls also make the game play more tedious, like no reticle, double health etc, though there's 3 that add difficulty without the tedium. Tough luck makes enemies dodge more Catch makes enemies throw more grenades Thunderstorm increases the rank of some enemies You don't need them on, but if H3 doesn't quite have the punch you're wanting these 3 can make it feel more similar to CE and 2.
Oh boy I can't wait to watch the Gravemind run. "Brutes! The faster you can kill those brutes the better. They don't have shield generators, so take them out before -- IT'S BESERKING" is forever engraved into my brain doing this on LASO
Really enjoyed the first video. Really looking forward to this one. Definitely my favourite Halo game especially because its the first fps game i remember playing on the OG Xbox.
Very Excited for Legendary Halo3, Reach, ODST, and 4, long way down the road, it's been a blast seeing someone doing a blind run, who is pretty damn good at the game.
After watching the whole thing man just gotta say I’ve watched every TH-cam react / play to my fav trilogy here and yours is the best. Great gameplay, jokes, reactions, I’d legit pay money for a patreon or something to watch the halo 3 video early lol. Btw I’m sure you’ve heard but after halo 1-3 + reach / odst, there are other halo games but made by a different company and thus will feel different (many including myself say for the worse)
Halo 2 is my favorite game and watching you play through legendary reminded me of trying to do it as a kid (except your way better than I was!) I completed only 2-3 levels per Saturday because that was the only day I was allowed to play and it took me that long to get through it! I loved watching you experience the game on legendary blind and stayed up way too late to finish the video to see how you handled the dreaded Gravemind level. My favorite is over, but I'm looking forward to seeing more from this channel.
Love these videos, I hope he plays all the Halo’s and doesn’t stop after 3 or ODST. 4 and 5 have many issues but I personally really enjoyed playing them on legendary.
Just so you know I'm pretty sure the capital ship that master chief blows up with the bomb stations 1 million or so troops. He blew up a notoriously hard to kill ship with their own freakin bomb and it's so awesome.
Oh hell yeah been waiting for this🤘🏾 Edit: just finished watching your playthrough, man you really did breeze through this most of the parts of the game, watching you get sniped by the jackal snipers was hilarious lol can’t wait for Halo 3 and beyond man!
The blur Halo 2 cutscenes are quite possibly some of the nicest looking cutscenes in gaming history! Could you imagine if Blur Studios made a live action 😭
Jackal Snipers…Jackal Snipers Everywhere but I know this will be a fun video to watch Sour also…your new armor shields are extremely resilient very efficient….
Oh man, im glad you didnt get the 3:50:31 grav lift glitch. Sonetimes while you are coming down, the brute will lock on and shoot you while you cant react, and will kill you before you land. There is no solution to it. The devs actually put in a system where if you keep instantly dying at a checkpoint, you will go back 2 checkpoints so you arent softlocked. It is actually a broken part of the game, and can wreck a gravemind level run easily.
Halo 2 was my brother's and my first halo game back in elementary school. We always plaid games that had difficulty options on the highest one. It took over a year (I don't remember how long exactly but I know we hadn't beaten it by the time we got CE the Christmas after) It was a blast and extended the play time for us significantly. Being to young to really get into the story and no way to play multi player, I'm convinced we would have dropped the game and moved on after a week or two had we not dinner this. However after that no halo game has been a challenge, even h2 legendary solo was easy in comparison. And now, at 30 years old gong back to the Mcc I struggle in heroic. My kid self must be disappointed beyond belief
I complete through halo 1-3 on legendary for the first time after watching your CE play through. I definitely agree halo 2 legendary on PC feels fair and balanced for the most part
halo 2 anniversary graphics tricked everyone into thinking they were good just cuz they were better than the horendous halo 1 remake graphics and the cinematics look really good, but they suffer from the exact same issues (mood change, collision changes) and theyre so dark you cant see anything) but i have always been a firm believer that the classic graphics are still king. also legendary is the only way to play. i was so excited to see this pop up in my feed.
As someone who only played Halo 2 for the first time on MCC, I gotta disagree. I found that playing the game on Remastered graphics was considerably more enjoyable than the original graphics. It, in my opinion, fit the mission's moods better, the music was better queued, everything just felt smoother and better beyond the "it looks more modern" argument. Of course, though this is agree-to-disagree situation, as graphics are entirely subjective.
"Those flood are pretty smart" Yep. While they behave kind of like zombies, technically they aren't. In CE, Cortana mentions that they were trying to repair a covenant ship to escape Halo. She mentions how they were stacking bodies. Guilty Spark mentions that their appearance "belies the Flood's intelligence". Then you meet the Gravemind and realize there is more to the Flood than meets the eye.
Oh shit! Here we go I'm currently blind till my new contact comes in and have been bored af all weekend. Now I have something to watch/mostly listen too.
Its so refreshing to see a blind Halo 2 Legendary run by someone competent.
Yup. Reminds me of a time when let's play channels were actually good at video games and not just farming views with fake reactions lol
Yeah it is nice seeing him figure things out quickly enough to no be frustrating to watch, but still blind enough that he has to learn everything
This.. seeing certain playthroughs of people playing on easy and still struggle is painful.
“They just hit the second halo” absolutely threw me lmfao😂😂
I believe the cutscene at the end of H:CE "this is it baby, hold me" was just a Legendary only cutscene as a little joke.
Theres a book I believe that at least somewhat details how Johnson escapes the Halo ring.
The real answer is just he was a fan favorite so they chose to bring him back
Halo: First Strike describes how the Alpha Halo survivors got home
@@Halocon720 there's also a short story comic compilation that showed his initial escape from the flood-infested bunker too, i believe
Yep. It is an easter egg.
Nah but like *starts beatboxing*
First one was hilarious for watching you discover all the Halo basics, like the n00b combo. 😁
Thank you so much for subtitling the video! I have an auditory processing issue and the subtitles help massively. You're awesome ❤
Not enough TH-camrs do proper subtitles. Just another reason to love S0ur
I had the black ops 2 video pop up again in recommended today and I thought “You know it’s been a while since the CE playthrough, I wonder when he’ll upload Halo 2”. I expected a very painful playthrough and 5 hours means that was probably the case. I can’t wait.
Hah, to temper expectations the length is mostly just due to all the epic cutscenes. It was a fun one for sure 🙂
Bro got the rare dialogue first play through of the game 😭
Oh? Neat, curious what dialogue
@@S0ur in the armory when Johnson enters, “shut your chili hole” during speed runs getting that dialogue actually saves a whopping 1 second
Lmao nice. HUGE time save for me, that definitely helped me get a competitive time
@@S0urYou sure gained 1 second!

Been waiting for this video ever since the last one. So pumped to have this be the subject of my next week’s worth of dinners/workouts
I been waiting for this, uploaded 2 mins ago, timed for me waking up on my day off. Great timing.
I’ve been enjoying the hell out of you experiencing my favorite games for the first time. Honestly a lot of charm is seeing you learn as you go whether it be with the graphics toggle or anything gameplay wise.
Love these longplay vids man
Watched the whole thing. This was like watching a friend play H2 legendary for the first time. Thanks man!!
It really is wonderful to see someone new experiencing something I love so dearly. Nice work!
looking forward to seeing you try ODST which takes place after the metropolis mission in halo 2.
my advice for that game: "seek out all of the audio logs in the streets, and a mission will be made easier"
Great stuff, really loved the Halo CE video.

YES! just finished your halo CE playthrough, and went to check if you’ve done 2 yet. Super hyped for this.
I'm really glad youtube recommended me your Cod 1 video. I can't wait to see what game you play next.
Was waiting for this! Love this series
This might be my favourite video of yours man, now I'm just super excited for you to do 3, ODST and Reach

Oh boy my day off and this beautiful creation is uploaded nice way to spend the rest of my day off
He did it.
The lunatic did it ❤
Also, Im one of the insane lunatics that completed the whole game on controller, on legendary.
Just so you know I'm pretty sure the capital ship that master chief blows up with the bomb stations 1 million or so troops. He blew up a notoriously hard to kill ship with their own freakin bomb and it's so awesome.
Oh hell yeah been waiting for this🤘🏾

Congrats on 200 thousand subs, still criminally low, but its nice youve come this far
Glad to see it’s common to force the vehicles as far into the mission as they can go
The remastered cutscenes are so goddamn incredible.
That's how I saw the game as a kid.
This is perfectly timed, saving this video for my 26 hour flight tomorrow 😂
Halo 2 was my brother's and my first halo game back in elementary school.
We always plaid games that had difficulty options on the highest one. It took over a year (I don't remember how long exactly but I know we hadn't beaten it by the time we got CE the Christmas after)
It was a blast and extended the play time for us significantly. Being to young to really get into the story and no way to play multi player, I'm convinced we would have dropped the game and moved on after a week or two had we not dinner this.
However after that no halo game has been a challenge, even h2 legendary solo was easy in comparison.
And now, at 30 years old gong back to the Mcc I struggle in heroic. My kid self must be disappointed beyond belief
God I'm so happy I came home and opened youtube
“Kept us waiting huh?” So excited to watch this
"Does johnson have clones?" idk why that funny as hell to me 🤣
"Nothing but Jackal.......and that's a sniper in his hands isn't it" Immediate death.
Sent me across the pacific 🤣🤣💀
I complete through halo 1-3 on legendary for the first time after watching your CE play through. I definitely agree halo 2 legendary on PC feels fair and balanced for the most part
i have to assume that the d2 style boss health bar in The Oracle was added in post as a cheeky edit, and it got me good.
oh man he did it for tartarus too
i remember playing through H2 legendary with my friend, i cant wait to see what kinds of shenannigans S0ur will get into
3:34:56 "Another checkpoint in my hole, in my safety hole!"
Iconic.
Haven’t watched yet but already my favorite video.
Destiny boss health bar was great lmao
halo 2 anniversary graphics tricked everyone into thinking they were good just cuz they were better than the horendous halo 1 remake graphics and the cinematics look really good, but they suffer from the exact same issues (mood change, collision changes) and theyre so dark you cant see anything)
but i have always been a firm believer that the classic graphics are still king.
also legendary is the only way to play. i was so excited to see this pop up in my feed.
As someone who only played Halo 2 for the first time on MCC, I gotta disagree. I found that playing the game on Remastered graphics was considerably more enjoyable than the original graphics. It, in my opinion, fit the mission's moods better, the music was better queued, everything just felt smoother and better beyond the "it looks more modern" argument.
Of course, though this is agree-to-disagree situation, as graphics are entirely subjective.
"Those flood are pretty smart"
Yep. While they behave kind of like zombies, technically they aren't.
In CE, Cortana mentions that they were trying to repair a covenant ship to escape Halo.
She mentions how they were stacking bodies.
Guilty Spark mentions that their appearance "belies the Flood's intelligence".
Then you meet the Gravemind and realize there is more to the Flood than meets the eye.
If this was laso ohh my lordd. Loved this!
1:07:03 HE IS ONE OF US ! YES ! WE ACCEPT YOU AS A PART OF THE HALO COMMUNITY WITH OPEN ARMS
Oh shit! Here we go
I'm currently blind till my new contact comes in and have been bored af all weekend. Now I have something to watch/mostly listen too.
I’m excited to see you play Halo 3, hope it happens soon
"Don't worry, Guys. It'll be fine."
[Looking at the Runtime]
Are you sure?
