    A little correction around 5:30
    All humans are reclaimers, all of them have that ancient human DNA the librarian inserted in them, the only difference is that in some humans it is stronger than the rest.
    In fact this DNA was the reason why the Spartan 2 kids were selected, because that gene was stronger on them than the rest, Halsey influenced by the Librarian's plan looked for this special characteristics in the DNA to choose her candidates. This was also one of the reasons why Master Chief wasn't the first human to be called by 343 Guilty Spark to access the Library to get the Index, on a side note, there's one marine that got really close to get the Index, meaning he had the skills to get as far as any Spartan would've gotten without any of their augmentations, probably the normal human being closest to the next natural human evolution, if he were born the same year as Master Chief, he would've probably be one of the strongest if not the strongest Spartan 2, yes, above Fred, John and Samuel.

I love a good story that makes you think that both sides are right in their argument. What was done to the children in the S2 program was horrific, but without it, humanity most probably would not have survived.

    This was a detailed, informative and entertaining summary. Jam packed with lore, cross references and just enough dry wit to raise a wry smile or three. Thank you so much for creating this - it's clearly a passion project but that passion was the secret sauce that made it so engaging.

    Actually the Orion program had 3 phases
    The first phase were the 5 that died a year later after getting the augmentation
    The second phase has 65 successfully augmentation orions
    And the third phase which johnson was apart of had at the end 165 members left that either retired or were re-assigned to different branches
    So 165 out of 300 members are alive by the beginning of the human-covenant war after that it unknown

    I'm still sooooo upset about what they did to Jul. Multiple books and a lot of spartan OPs to set him up and give so much potential to his character just wasted in one of the first cutscenes of the game with little to no fanfare. I don't know how they would have tied him into the current storyline, but they just threw him away.

Infinite is addictively good and I'm scouring every inch of its open world to find as many Easter Eggs, cores, cosmetics and other fun nods to past games every chance I get! The DLC are gonna be just as good especially with the foundation they have built here. I feel like that 11 year old kid again in 01 and it's an amazing feeling to rediscover!

    I grew up with this game as well. One of my friends older brothers was playing The Silent Cartographer mission on the OG Xbox back in 2004 and let me play. I didn't know anything about the lore, just enjoyed shooting aliens alongside marines.
    As I grew up and delved more into the lore I became more fascinated and at times overwhelmed by the story. Not many shooter games can captivate an entire console user base with the story and Halo does this better than anyone.
    There have been bumps in the road with the story, and that makes sense when you consider the shift in knowledge from Bungie to 343. Infinite seems to be a way to "rectify mistakes" and "make amends" like the message from Cortana states at the ending of the Halo infinite main story. She also mentions the "potential" she sees in Chief and The Weapon (who is really a copy of Cortana with some tweaks and changes) and I think that also refers to the potential we all see with infinite.
    I'm glad to see that the speculation of killing off chief was not real and although we miss Cortana I think we can all begin to foster a great relationship with the weapon, or whatever name she chooses for herself.
    I'm excited for the future. One day the Halo journey will end, perhaps decades from now when I'm old and gray. Until then I'm looking forward to seeing what the next steps in the story will be for Master Chief and his legacy.

    So I don’t think The Endless can do time travel, rather I think they have the ability to manipulate time, like Time Dilation we see in real life where if you are next to a black hole you experience the passing of time differently than say someone on Earth. This isn’t time travel, because from a person observing both the being at earth and the one by the black hole time is passing all the same, but being experienced differently by those at those locations. So the Endless can probably control time by slowing it down in areas(like when Chief went through the portal) but can not actually travel through it. Just manipulate it, again, like how we see with the bending of space/time in our actual universe.
    This idea is also observed with slip space, nobody has actually traveled through time, they just passed through it differently, after all we move through time, time doesn’t move through us.
    This is why I think Halo won’t do the whole time travel thing because it causes a mess of story telling and that’s the last thing 343 needs, it’s also the most basic trope in all of sci-if. Halo tends to stay grounded in its sci-fi ideas and time manipulation can be grasped and handled easily. Full blown time travel is just bad, I can already see the mess it will cause. Like Chief going back in time to see another Master Chief. Then it’s like why aren’t we playing as that Master Chief or the millions of other Master Chiefs now then you have never ending branching of timelines and … well it’s just horrible to keep characters grounded at that point.
    It’s just an opinion though, if they do time travel I hope they make sense of it. Not a cluster of a mess like it always ends up being.
    Also, amazing video. Halo is just an amazing universe to be able to enjoy. Hope you have more videos like this.

    Chief didn't time travel he was kept in a energy state by the ring when telephoned and reassembled later. A sudo time travle if you will. The endless are definitely precursor related. The gramind has the knowledge of the precursors and it said "now I shall talk and you should listen." The harbinger said the exact same thing to a human in a recording with the EXACT same inflections. More over it spoke to a human and drove him mad. An ability that the primordial also posessed.
