I love how everyone in this cutscene has absolute faith in Chief. Hood doesn't hesitate to give Chief the go-ahead to enact his plan, Cortana stays in John's suit risking her life, and Johnson probably prepared that one-liner just waiting for the Chief to get out of that ship. THIS is pure Halo.
this really gets doubled down in halo 3. Hood gives up one of his last (possibly his very last, i know humanity's forces were depleted, but i dont know if the navy was completely gone destroyed. he previously referenced a "handful of ships") heavy ship, because Chief had complete faith that they needed to go through the portal to the Ark. He shut down Keyes (again), but when chief put it forward, his only contesting was "you trust cortana that much?". as opposed to "what we SHOULD do, commander, is realize that this is humanity's final stand. here, at Earth.". when Chief confirmed, he allowed it, "this is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst". he hesitates briefly, but i doubt most people would have questioned it if they had let the Elites go through alone, or even just with Chief.

It makes WAY more sense if you've read any of the Halo novels. By the time we see John 117 in Halo 2, he's done a LOT. More than enough for Hood to give him a blank check for anything he wants to do. Hood knows that if he does, there's a pretty high chance it's going to pay off.

AJBfc the when attacking ships of similar size they need a 3-1advantage to win, that ship was 21km in length vs the 1.5km ship it just blew up, that bomb or the SMAC guns (station chief jumped out of) where the only things that could kill it.
Or, in the books, those died to nuclear mines and MAC Bombardment. SHIVA Warheads to kill the shields, then multiple ships going ham on it with 600 ton Ferrous-Tungsten slugs.
A long time before they were involved with Halo, Blur did the CGI cutscenes for Shadow the Hedgehog. The animation quality was absurdly good compared to most other aspects of that game
infinites cutscenes LOOK good, but its almost always just chief standing around talking to weapon or its hologram escharaum going "blah blah SPARTAN blah blah ATRIOX blah blah THE BANISHED", except for a select few of course
@@periwinkle2486Yeah it was an intentional choice apparently.... it's fine for one game but they should go back to the Halo 2 style for the next campaign. Give us crazy insane action scenes by the truckload lmaoooo.
+xMofoKilla29x .... jesus the beard is strong with this one. That said, despite some irritant issues in the multiplayer, I think Halo 5 is quite a good game. The storyline was done well, even if I don't particularly like where the state of affairs is at the moment.
One simply cannot simplify how much this title meant when Halo 2 first came out. This was the title was essentially the “Toy Story 2” of the entire gaming industry that cemented that Halo was to stay and become the next big icon in all of video gaming. I still remember when even the news would regularly cover the build up and the hype for the release back in 2004. Essentially when video games were like Blockbusters and man did the complete hype pay off.
I was 4 then and I still, somewhat, remember that. I wouldn’t understand the hype until 2009ish when I got to play my first halo game (ODST) and I loved it. I remember my 10th like it was yesterday, my step-brother came to my dads house in the middle of the night that weekend when it came out. My brother and I were still awake, my step-brother went to the entertainment center and started plugging in his Xbox and he tossed me reach saying “happy birthday, have fun.” I still have my copy of reach
"What if you miss?" "I *wont* " Yeah chiefs track record of unnecessarily jumping out of ships and blowing things up is remarkable. Hes made for this. Confidence level 100
This is the exact scene that made me declare Master Chief the greatest video game character of all time period and Cortana as the greatest secondary protagonist of all time. Sgt Johnson from this series and Dom from gears of war and funny enough... The titan AI from titan fall 2 are up there as secondary protagonists as well. With dialogue like "I woulda been your daddy but the dog beat me over the fence"... He almost beats cortana. But his best line is set up by her. Scorpion drops, cortana: "he never gets me anything" Johnson "oooh I know what the ladies like" This cutscene, the Halo remember reach trailer, the Halo believe trailer and the Gears of War 2 we all know how this will End trailer are probably the 4 most viewed video game videos I've ever watched... And though I dont watch or follow any streamers... Gotta give the honorable mention to DR disrespect for the "spectates a hacker" vid.
“Sir, permission to leave the station?” “For what purpose master chief?” “To give the covenant back their bomb...” Hood thinks: “you know, he’s pretty good, but even this is pretty risky for him. But holy shit would it look cool if he pulled it off”
Lord Hood is secretly Chief’s biggest fan. He has a foam finger and everything that he pulls out whenever he hears Chief is doing something badass off screen.
I mean this is humanity's final stand. This is Earth. I think they have other settlements outside of Earth that haven't been caught by the Covenant, but this is the last military station. If the Master Chief was going to die, this was where he was going to do it.
I remember the line "to give the covenant back their bomb" when I was little and it gave me chills and I recently bought the master chief collection and it still gives me that feeling
Masterchief is THAT badass. That even an AI questions his plan as “crazy”. Keep in mind. Chief IS still technically human. Genetically superhuman. But still. Can calculate better than a computer AI. Shows how badass the chief really is.
@@DarthDragon007 actually in lore just a couple shots from a plasma pistol would melt right through mjolnir armor, getting hit with an overcharged one unshielded is pretty much a death sentence
BowlingGlaceon yeah the mjolnir armour before the shielding technology was pretty limited to what they are capable of right now. The fact that Master Chief was capable of doing such feats as a Spartan 2 before the mark 5 armour goes to show how much of a badass he is.
probably just 10 year olds who didn't get to play the original game, when I first saw this when I was 6 or 7 this was awesome, now when I look at it.... I just had memories
The new Halo tv series will never accomplish what these game developers did in three games spanning 10 years, It almost brings me to tears rewatching these scenes and remembering them
"Sir, permission to leave the station." "For what purpose, Master Chief?" "To give the Covenant back their bomb." "Permission granted." Thats some epic dialogue
It was Loki who said, “I have an army.” not Thanos. I don’t even know why you thought Thanos said that line since you’ve obviously seen several “I have an army” memes that imply that Loki says the line. And if you’re gonna make this meme-comment good, then make it accurate. Don’t type Tony saying “We have a Spartan” type Dr. Halsey saying that. And type the Covenant saying “I have an army” My point is, this is a stupid comment. How it got a heart is beyond me.
What's funny is that this bomb was JUST ENOUGH to blow up the MAC stations but probably would have required a higher yield blast to take out that CAS Assault Carrier. However, seeing as we're shown how the Chief and the bomb end up floating in the carrier's (what I presume is most likely the reactor room) reactor core, the explosion overloads the core and takes out the entire carrier. This is only 2nd in awesomeness to Chief going on a one-man army into High Charity and saving Cortona in Halo 3 on the flood-invested holy city, and in the process, overloading the reactor and blowing up HIGH CHARITY! Man, that's a one-two punch and the biggest "FUCK YOU!" to the Covenant if there ever was one. "Master Chief 117, blowing up your shit since 2001!"
Even if the blast hadn't been next to the main reactor, ODPs aren't small things. It still likely would've outright mission-killed the thing by virtue of blasting a big ass hole into the ship.
There was a skirmish when the Spartans II's first fought the covenant ever, Sam-34 detonated a nuke inside a covenant ship, the explosion was contained by the shields like detonating a handgrenade in a safe, it absolutely wrecked the ship ,due to the fact the blast was contained further amplifying its destructive force
And this is why there will never be a Halo movie: There is no human alive that could reasonably pull off that much concentrated badass unless they got Steve Downes to voice over someone else acting as the Chief. And even then it would be a diluted product
With all my heart I want it to be amazing, but these kinds of projects have a history of not working out as planned. I’m crossing my everything for it to be glorious though
Look at this wholesome conversation happening right in my very comments section! Y'all can join the discord if you want to chat more Halo/video games/anything at all really, have a wonderful day!
You do realize they can just record a guy in a suit and have Steve Downes do a voice over it's literally the same technique they used for Darth Vader in the star wars movies
Amazing how the production quality of these cut scenes is infinitely better than the Halo TV show. The visual detail. The audio design. It’s all just phenomenal. Imagine if they had the studio that did these do a Fall of Reach adaptation.
He is the "master chief" because John-117 holds the rank of master chief petty officer. Which is also why the basic UNSC marines Call him sir but he still takes orders from johnson
This might be the greatest cutscene in gaming history The dialogue, the fucking amazing theme, the graphics, the subject matter, the banter between the characters, its spectacular
I love how they emphasized the role of the longswords in this whole thing in the remaster. I always understood what happened, I saw the bombers swoop in and blow the hull open, but I've seen so many people on youtube who didn't know.
My favorite detail of this entire scene is the scratching on the floor at 0:35. Chief scratches the shit out of the floor by dragging the bomb across it.
I like how Terrence doesn't even need or ask for an explanation from Chief. He doesn't know what that lunatic is planning, all he knows is that it's gonna work.

@@deathray252 and Sonic 06 which was the only good part of the game
If only Blur did the cutscenes for Halo Infinite...God damn this is like the movie we’ve been dreaming of.
infinites cutscenes LOOK good, but its almost always just chief standing around talking to weapon or its hologram escharaum going "blah blah SPARTAN blah blah ATRIOX blah blah THE BANISHED", except for a select few of course
@@periwinkle2486Yeah it was an intentional choice apparently.... it's fine for one game but they should go back to the Halo 2 style for the next campaign. Give us crazy insane action scenes by the truckload lmaoooo.
@@royshavrick They also need good writing staff again... Infinite was just....bad! extremely bad!
@@DmCNoki i mean Infinite wasnt Bungie writing good, but it was leagues better than Halo 5
Damn the Anniversary really did upgrades wow
My dad said that halo seemed stupid. I showed him this cut scene. thoughts were changed
Donald McRonald everyone does until they play it or they see it.
I'll take "shit that never happened for 500"
Seen ironic given that it was stupid (but awesome) move!
@@Walterdecarvalh0100 no offense but just because nothing interesting happens to you doesn’t mean this is fake.

So my favorite halos anniversary is on my birthday?? That's amazing
I didn't even need a recommendation to come here, I just came
I just came too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Me too
Sachin Gopakumar that’s what my dad said when my mom said what are you doing in my house?
@@sachin3775 that’s pretty hot ngl
So did I. Someone has to finish the fucking fight.
More entertaining than all of Halo 5.
xMofoKilla29x Funny because the Halo 5 console is the second xbox one that I bought.
+xMofoKilla29x truth hurts bitch?
+xMofoKilla29x ...what the fuck are you on about?
+xMofoKilla29x .... jesus the beard is strong with this one. That said, despite some irritant issues in the multiplayer, I think Halo 5 is quite a good game. The storyline was done well, even if I don't particularly like where the state of affairs is at the moment.
+xMofoKilla29x I thought so too.
One simply cannot simplify how much this title meant when Halo 2 first came out. This was the title was essentially the “Toy Story 2” of the entire gaming industry that cemented that Halo was to stay and become the next big icon in all of video gaming. I still remember when even the news would regularly cover the build up and the hype for the release back in 2004. Essentially when video games were like Blockbusters and man did the complete hype pay off.
I was 4 then and I still, somewhat, remember that. I wouldn’t understand the hype until 2009ish when I got to play my first halo game (ODST) and I loved it. I remember my 10th like it was yesterday, my step-brother came to my dads house in the middle of the night that weekend when it came out. My brother and I were still awake, my step-brother went to the entertainment center and started plugging in his Xbox and he tossed me reach saying “happy birthday, have fun.”
I still have my copy of reach
Then the later companies ruined it
"What if you miss?"
"I *wont* "
Yeah chiefs track record of unnecessarily jumping out of ships and blowing things up is remarkable. Hes made for this.
Confidence level 100
100% jumping and blowing things up win rate.
"Crazy fool, why do you always have to jump?"
wanderingbufoon well the books always liked to say master chief wasn’t the best spartan, he was the luckiest
@@dudemanbroguy3464 He's labeled Hyper Lethal so yes Chief is the best since the other guy is dead.
@@adambump5297 MIA. Spartans never die, they just go missing. 😂😂😂
I don't care what anyone says. Halo is the best FPS ever.
Isaac
Amen to that.
*"was"*
Isaac was until halo odst
I’d agree but only Reach
Dominant Right Wing Alpha Male fucking a right. But we don't sit on the throne anymore.
"What if you miss?"
"I won't."
*Misses spike on bomb*
*Bomb crashes into UNSC ship, explodes*
*Loses war with Covenant because of Master Chief*
lmao
Thats...unfortunate
Plot twist lol
I know chief would not have activated the bomb if he misses, but if he didn't, the bomb would fall to Earth and squish a lot of people haha
Sector 9t9 me as Masterchief :thats not gonna happen
1:45 UNSC Feeling Lucky was definitely not lucky that day.
Pretty sure the entire crew of that ship died judging by how it just detonated from the inside
UNSC Feeling Lucky just saved the ODP Chief came from by taking that shot for it.
@@jovalin5939 Not really, the beam wouldn't have hit Chief regardless. The ship helped by distracting the ship, though.
Oseres 18 he meant the ODP (Orbital Defense Platform) that the chief jumped from not the Chief himself
Clearly not lucky given the fact if they had about 30 more seconds they all would still be alive.
This is quite possibly the greatest cutscene of all time...
This is the exact scene that made me declare Master Chief the greatest video game character of all time period and Cortana as the greatest secondary protagonist of all time. Sgt Johnson from this series and Dom from gears of war and funny enough... The titan AI from titan fall 2 are up there as secondary protagonists as well. With dialogue like "I woulda been your daddy but the dog beat me over the fence"... He almost beats cortana. But his best line is set up by her. Scorpion drops, cortana: "he never gets me anything" Johnson "oooh I know what the ladies like"
This cutscene, the Halo remember reach trailer, the Halo believe trailer and the Gears of War 2 we all know how this will End trailer are probably the 4 most viewed video game videos I've ever watched... And though I dont watch or follow any streamers... Gotta give the honorable mention to DR disrespect for the "spectates a hacker" vid.
“Sir, permission to leave the station?”
“For what purpose master chief?”
“To give the covenant back their bomb...”
Hood thinks: “you know, he’s pretty good, but even this is pretty risky for him.
But holy shit would it look cool if he pulled it off”
Lord Hood is secretly Chief’s biggest fan. He has a foam finger and everything that he pulls out whenever he hears Chief is doing something badass off screen.
Lmao Commit 41%
I mean this is humanity's final stand. This is Earth. I think they have other settlements outside of Earth that haven't been caught by the Covenant, but this is the last military station.
If the Master Chief was going to die, this was where he was going to do it.
@@GunRecon Spartans never die. They just storm hell to regroup.
@@glitterboy2098
The Emperor protects
I remember the line "to give the covenant back their bomb" when I was little and it gave me chills and I recently bought the master chief collection and it still gives me that feeling
Masterchief is THAT badass. That even an AI questions his plan as “crazy”. Keep in mind. Chief IS still technically human. Genetically superhuman. But still. Can calculate better than a computer AI. Shows how badass the chief really is.
To give the Covenant back their bomb.
Lord Hood: ...Permission granted.
Cortana: I know what you’re thinking, and it’s crazy
Master Chief: So stay here?
Cortana: Unfortunately for us both.......I like crazy.
Cortana: Just one question; what if you miss?
Can survive that but can't survive more than a second of being shot with a plasma rifle
Plasma make him stummy hurt :(
Che, gameplay limits. If you could play a Spartan 2 the way they are actually potrayed, you'd be next to impossible to kill.
Maybe chiefs armor lock could explain the landing and isn’t as useful in combat for obvious reasons.
@@DarthDragon007 actually in lore just a couple shots from a plasma pistol would melt right through mjolnir armor, getting hit with an overcharged one unshielded is pretty much a death sentence
BowlingGlaceon yeah the mjolnir armour before the shielding technology was pretty limited to what they are capable of right now. The fact that Master Chief was capable of doing such feats as a Spartan 2 before the mark 5 armour goes to show how much of a badass he is.
this is what Spartans were made for. Turning the tide of an entire battle with a plan no one else would even consider
The level of badassery is so high I need to eat Chuck Norris' cereal for breakfast.
+MJk Slasher give me a bowl
Any more of that cereal left
Chuck Norris doesn't eat food takes Chuck Norriss presence to process energy
Only the kids who grew in the 80's know about Chuck norris cereal and mister t cereal as well😜😜
without any milk
Whoever disliked this doesn't know the true meaning of "awesomeness"
Fact
probably just 10 year olds who didn't get to play the original game, when I first saw this when I was 6 or 7 this was awesome, now when I look at it.... I just had memories
Visceral117 I think this scene looks better but the original still has the same amount of badassery
Everyone who disliked this were playing on there ps2 when halo2 released.
Those Heretics
Now unlike that strange TV portrayal, THIS is the Master Chief.
"Permission to swear in videos sir?"
"For what reason?"
"To give the viewer's back their content."

Goddamn these Anniversary cutscenes are amazing, can't wait til MCC releases on PC
Blur Studios done an amazing job on the anniversary remake. I really hope they are involved with Infinite.
Will Blur studios do the rest of the anniversary?
Just in time too. MCC on PC is right around the corner
It’s here.
The new Halo tv series will never accomplish what these game developers did in three games spanning 10 years, It almost brings me to tears rewatching these scenes and remembering them
"Unfortunately, I like crazy"
Then she goes crazy...
And then I go crazy, bc the Halo 5 campaign is shit.
@@donsorenoelchapogringo1182 I wish halo 5 isn't canon...
This could pass off as a scene from a movie
With people still griping about the CGI.
It kind of is one
this scene alone is x100 times better than both seasons of halo on paramount
That's my boy. There he is making his old man proud.
and now he's finally coming to PC! he'll be just like his older brother, Doomguy!
1:56 THAT TRACKING SHOT GETS ME EVERY TIME
The sound of the longswords gives me goose bumps every time i hear it and i love it
Same! XD
The Good Sir and then it cuts to him flying through the blaze into the heart of the ship
Same bro
This 2:43 second clip is better than the first four episodes of the Halo TV show combined
This clip is better than the whole show combined and it's not even close.
0:29 I swear Lord Hood is thinking to himself “Alright.....Let’s see where this goes....”
My favorite line ever: “For a brick, he flew pretty good!”
Well the man does speak the truth.
"Sir, permission to leave the station."
"For what purpose, Master Chief?"
"To give the Covenant back their bomb."
"Permission granted."
Thats some epic dialogue
'Thats going to be really hard to top.' Said master chief never xD
Thanos: I have an army
Tony: We have a Spartan
It was Loki who said, “I have an army.” not Thanos. I don’t even know why you thought Thanos said that line since you’ve obviously seen several “I have an army” memes that imply that Loki says the line.
And if you’re gonna make this meme-comment good, then make it accurate. Don’t type Tony saying “We have a Spartan” type Dr. Halsey saying that. And type the Covenant saying “I have an army”
My point is, this is a stupid comment. How it got a heart is beyond me.
@@holdguard4624 it got a heart because the guy that typed it had a sense of humor
@@holdguard4624 I agree with you
@@sierra9565 Thank you, Redwing.
@@holdguard4624 your welcome.seems like we are the only sensible people here
2:08 instant chills and goosebumps. Halo 2 is one of the greatest games of all time
,,Sir Permission to leave this Station.''
,,For what Purpose Master Chief?"
,,To give the Covenant back their Brick."
,,Permission GRUNTED."
Oooh I see what you done there, very sneaky!
Gimli: "That still only counts as one, Chief!" XD
Noble 5/6 cleared their ship first, that's why they got the points
This is, without question, the coolest cutscene in any game period
What's funny is that this bomb was JUST ENOUGH to blow up the MAC stations but probably would have required a higher yield blast to take out that CAS Assault Carrier. However, seeing as we're shown how the Chief and the bomb end up floating in the carrier's (what I presume is most likely the reactor room) reactor core, the explosion overloads the core and takes out the entire carrier. This is only 2nd in awesomeness to Chief going on a one-man army into High Charity and saving Cortona in Halo 3 on the flood-invested holy city, and in the process, overloading the reactor and blowing up HIGH CHARITY! Man, that's a one-two punch and the biggest "FUCK YOU!" to the Covenant if there ever was one. "Master Chief 117, blowing up your shit since 2001!"
Considering it uses antimatter yes it would be enough, the reactor core thing was probably for good measure.
Even if the blast hadn't been next to the main reactor, ODPs aren't small things. It still likely would've outright mission-killed the thing by virtue of blasting a big ass hole into the ship.
@@seawolf4846 If it didn't tear it completely in half.
There was a skirmish when the Spartans II's first fought the covenant ever, Sam-34 detonated a nuke inside a covenant ship, the explosion was contained by the shields like detonating a handgrenade in a safe, it absolutely wrecked the ship ,due to the fact the blast was contained further amplifying its destructive force
And this is why there will never be a Halo movie:
There is no human alive that could reasonably pull off that much concentrated badass unless they got Steve Downes to voice over someone else acting as the Chief.
And even then it would be a diluted product
With all my heart I want it to be amazing, but these kinds of projects have a history of not working out as planned. I’m crossing my everything for it to be glorious though
Look at this wholesome conversation happening right in my very comments section! Y'all can join the discord if you want to chat more Halo/video games/anything at all really, have a wonderful day!
Well we have Forward Unto Dawn
@@professionalcommentstealer5271 The last 30 minutes, yes.
You do realize they can just record a guy in a suit and have Steve Downes do a voice over it's literally the same technique they used for Darth Vader in the star wars movies
Amazing how the production quality of these cut scenes is infinitely better than the Halo TV show. The visual detail. The audio design. It’s all just phenomenal. Imagine if they had the studio that did these do a Fall of Reach adaptation.
"For what purpose?"
"To give the Covenant back their Bong"
Awwwwww yeahhhhhhh.
No way, they detec
They attac
Therefore,
They don’t get their bong bac
This was Halo at his best. Killing teh Aleins and don't afraid of anythin'.
imo what makes this cutscene better for me is the casual attitude that occurs afterwards as if chief does this every tuesday, total badass
And that's why he is the MASTER chief.
He is the "master chief" because John-117 holds the rank of master chief petty officer. Which is also why the basic UNSC marines Call him sir but he still takes orders from johnson
And some killer one liners too!
This, my call of duty fans, is why we love halo.
back when Master Chief was at his best
Commando 66 he always was at his best, halo 4 and 5 were his shore leave
This is where those anniversary graphics really shined. This mission is so beautiful. Each cutscene is amazing and feels so epic
This might be the greatest cutscene in gaming history
The dialogue, the fucking amazing theme, the graphics, the subject matter, the banter between the characters, its spectacular
Am I the only one that rewatches this scene atleast once every couple of months
No
Same
Imagine being the developer that made this original Halo 2 cutscene and seeing this rendition of it years later.
I love how they emphasized the role of the longswords in this whole thing in the remaster. I always understood what happened, I saw the bombers swoop in and blow the hull open, but I've seen so many people on youtube who didn't know.
0:02 Master Chief thinking "If I had a credit for every time a woman said that to me..."
20 years man, crazy. Best Halo to this day.
My favorite detail of this entire scene is the scratching on the floor at 0:35. Chief scratches the shit out of the floor by dragging the bomb across it.
“To give the covenant back their bomb” that is the most badass line in any game, movie, book, or really anything.
0:21 most badass line in gaming history
1:33.....this always reminded me of the battle of coruscant.
Intro to Revenge of the Sith.
Bro the whole cutscenes here are so much better then the whole halo tv show to bad they won’t ever come close to these cutscenes.
I like how Terrence doesn't even need or ask for an explanation from Chief. He doesn't know what that lunatic is planning, all he knows is that it's gonna work.
59 dislikes? I thought there were more on a Covenant cruiser...
There are the rest died
Those 59 were the only ones to get to whatever the Covenant use for escape pods.
148 now. Still not even close to chief's KD. Or mine.
2014: nope
2015: nuh uh
2016: nah
2017: no
2018: no
2019: that's it, *recommend it*
what are u saying , I search this myself.
I actually looked it up myself
me too
SAME AS THE OTHERS
What about 2020
Imagine halo 3 looking like this, perfection
It'll happen, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But it'll happen.
@@SamMallin yeah, the halo games will most likely all be remastered in infinite, being the last halo for the next 10 years and all
0:22 - 0:28 the exact moment when we all fell in love with master chief
There are many moments where someone may fall for the Chief, that is certainly one of them!
