Nice. Brought back many fond memories for me too.
It's cool seeing you on all the Halo community content sir Marty
The man himself has spoken
@@geoffdb8118 I may be speaking for the minority but this should set an example for other devs on how to make games and media that inspires and lasts.
Really glad it could bring back good memories! Thank you for being part of the production of such a fantastic game. I listen to your soundtracks daily!
Martin, i love so much your music, it´s a shame that 343 industries didn´t convinced you to work on the development of Halo 4 and the actual games (that games suck :c ). I know you had not let this guys to ruin this beatiful franchise.
8 year old me playing Halo 3 while my parents talk about getting divorced
As if my life aint depressing enough anyway, you are a champ.!
@@AkshatSTR8EDGE what?
...is this true? If so, I am sorry for your loss
Same bud
But life gets better you know
So killing off johnson was marty's idea ?
"Marty....You were one of our most treasured composer, long have you made music withhonor and distinction , but your inability to save johnson, Was a colossal failure"
I will continue to compose music for Halo
@@REALMARCHINADER 343 industries with Halo 4 like “No... you won’t”
@@shnorglebop1798 I mean he did for reach, before he lead the great schism
Underrated comment
Nay it was heresy
Haters: "Halo is overrarated. There's no chance of it recreating it's golden era ever again. Halo is gone."
*Me looking at The Master Chief Collection on console and PC, cross platform play coming and the revert to the old art style in Halo Infinite* : "Were it so easy."
I'm still playing halo 3 online on MCC, it's still fantastic.
halo infinite could be garbage
@@pen118 Please read again. I mentioned the art style. I didn't say anything about the game as a whole.
@@maxj9204 Still need an xbox so I can finally get mcc, but looking forward to it when I can. Personally I loved flood in Halo 4 arguably the most but each tto their own!
Dude you're 100% correct...Halo infinite just has to be good..it doesn't even have to be great or amazing...just good...
With Halo now on PC...and console...and infinite will be on gamepass and xcloud....Halo infinite..will be the biggest halo game ever.. simply by the virtue it's on the most platforms ever...and it's multiplayer is going F2P......Xbox delaying it a year to the anniversary of Halo CE..gives the game every chance to not be a buggy underwhelming mess...like I said it just has to be good...the halo fanbase is dying for a new game..
"Reminiscing with Halo TH-camrs" This is what Halo is all about. Having fun with your friends, late night gaming. Peaple out there saying Halo and so being the reason for mass murders and crap, but meanwhile its just "hey bro, wanna have fun with Forge tonight?" Its all about fun and making friends. And thank God Bungie decided to make another, and another great Halo game
Phenomenal work. F in the chat for our "Offline" friends who have moved on, passed away, or found happiness elsewhere in life. A healthy nod to the past. A toast. Cheers to you all for being there.
F
As one of those people who "went offline" for years when I switched to PC, it's an incredible feeling to dust off that old Xboxlive account and return to Halo as it's arrived on PC.
Or, in other words;
Spartans never die, we're just missing in action.
Rip Kade mott. Played everyday, poor dude died :(
The “Believe” campaign is the best marketing campaign there ever was or ever will be for a video game.
It was the best marketing campaign for anything ever
100%. I never saw anything like it before that. I remember at the time thinking it was pushing videogames forward and I still feel like it did. Hearing them talk about a videogame on the radio of all things, the most boomer form of media you can think of, really stood out.
Even with unlimited money, I don't think Microsoft could ever capture that much lightning in a bottle again, it's burned into my memories like nothing else has done since
@@YouCanCallMeReTro now its all about NFT lootboxes.... gaming hasn't gone that far forward
When the new Halo series came out, it was so cartoonish and hokey that I just rewatched Believe a few times and then Forward Unto Dawn again recently. Amazing what people who love and appreciate the source material can do, versus faceless corporations who lack an understanding of the IP and fans.
That portion where everyone was reminiscing about their childhood memories with Halo 3 genuinely made me tear up...great work man.
same bro same. if only I could turn back time.
@@abdo19code same. I don’t think it’s possible to capture the magic of that time period again
Halo 1-3 literally shaped my entire youth. What a legendary trilogy.
really? its wasnt school, family, learning about life, traveling? halo was your entire youth?
@@erimercado7700 Halo 1-3 literally helped* shape my entire youth. What a legendary trilogy.
Corrected it just for you!
@@SalsTouch lmao thats pretty sad
@@erimercado7700 I think you taking the time to knit pick a comment I made a year ago is pretty sad
@@SalsTouch lol playing Halo means you're a legend! And Eri, stop being a boomer, games Like Halo rock.
The “Reminiscing with Halo youtubers” section made me cry... so many memories
Gayyyy
@@pattyrafter88 ok dude
Yeah, it's amazing how much memories one game could give you.
@@nawalathhariansyah3263 fr
I watched wishing I experienced all of the content but I know I shared a lot of cool moments free for all slayer with my friends back then. Nice wonderful memories.
Awesome work bud. Brings a tear to the eye remembering all those awesome times!
Glad you like, and thank you for taking part! Hearing your audio brought back so many of my own memories, really highlights how Halo 3 is a shared experience.
True
that whole part with everyone reminiscing brought a tear to mine too and reminded me of the times me and my friend would play. After watching this it pushed me to visit his grave to reminisce with him.
Big fan
@@SameToken will you make a halo 2 retrospective? That game is legendary as well!
Shedding a tear for all the profiles that never came back online. Good memories of adding random people just to join their custom game nights
Too bad i never had that feeling... Man, From all the people who could'nt play video games in a childhood.
"You can accomplish things together, on co op, you wouldn't dream of doing alone"
>crashes tank into wall
*Why Halo 3 was A MASTERPIECE*
me: Yes
lol
I’m sure your channel would boost when halo infinite comes out, keep up the great work
That's very me of you to make such a great video :)
It’s out :)
HELLO PROPHET! WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!
Right that what brought me here felt I needed to go back as I go forward
It totally did! Algorithm just recommended me his videos!
The nostalgia is overwhelming, this game made so many people’s childhood/teenage years, it’s good to know so many people treasure this masterpiece, thank you for making this video
Yup! 🤙🏾
that name.....
My friends and I still play Bungie halos to this day, and often debate the best halo. Halo 3 will forever be, the most awesome, deepest loved, and single greatest source of treasured memories for millions including myself. The lifespan of Halo 3, marked a moment in gaming history, I feel honored and privileged to have lived in that moment, in the golden age of console gaming. Thank you for the video, I regret that I have but one like to give.
We live during the greatest times known to man. The billions that died before us and the billions that will be born after us will never know what its like to be alive during the hyped years of Halo
Same here man the new halos don’t feel the same as bungie games, Halo 2 and Halo 3 will forever be legendary!
FACTS man
Gah damn I love this video. Great work dude
Glad you liked it, thank you!
"Great" is far behind what it actually is :)
Yeah man, this is a full-on documentary. Well done, love it.
Possibly the most underrated channel on TH-cam.
Ngl that ending with everyone sharing their memories nearly had me in tears while remembering playing fat kid, garbage dump, shark, ride or die with my older brother when we stole my dads xbox controller so we could play splitscreen together. Thank you for that!
It was fun playing h3 with you man, hope we all play it again
Thank you for joining, had a brilliant time! Will definitely be doing something like that again in the near future!
how about we do mcc customs
So keen to get the new xbox so i can finally play halo again
@@ydk103 So excited for that customs browser
This game was the highlight of my high school life, to this day I have never played a better game and I will play this game until they shut off the servers. I hope the devs who read this know they made something truly great something the world may never see again, and they should be proud, thanks for the memories.
Factsss til they shut off the servers
"One person editing while the rest slaughter each other" made some of the best times I've ever had playing video games.
Man, I wish I could experience the anticipation and hype for a video game the way I did for this one.
Loving the Halo videos! Keep it up!
That’s a good name
I approve
Up until that point I had never seen such widespread marketing and hype for a game. Granted I was only 12, but still it was crazy and made me excited not only for the game but for the future of gaming.
Maranda’s death is by far the weakest death in the game. It really felt like they couldn’t give a rational way for her to die. Instead she goes on a suicide mission without support. She ends up becoming a plot device to get Johnson out of the halo control room.
@A.A.Ron Davis
Well it's the canonical use of the magnum if CE is concerned.
Seriously the magnum and AR pulling gots on my nerves so badly every time.
Idk I liked it
I honestly thought Miranda was corny and bland. Yeah she had her own style, and character but I just didn't like her like I liked the arbiter and Johnson. She brought nothing to the table. Nothing interesting anyways
This wounds my soul... I remember everything so fondly, so much of my heart is bound to it... I grieve because it ended... that period of my life meant everything to me, and while i should feel joy for remembering the thing that gave me so much, I weep for having that time pass me by... I would give anything to relive those times, to go back to that very first online game, to go back to the very beginning of what mattered so much to me... life wasnt made to regret the things we loved... how do i go on?
Keep playing on PC, We will never forget :)
bruh I just downloaded Hali combat elvolved for the first time
Every aspect of the game feels like a huge punch in your imagination.
That is Quality right there... something that is missing from this generation...
The king of halo documentaries
This game was the best. Nothing beat the two summers following the games release. Playing outside with friends all day then coming in to someone’s house if it’s raining and playing hours of split screen and matchmaking. Very fond memories of this game.
I'm crying right now. this was literally my first game ever. Played it when I was 2, in 2008. I was born in 2006.
36:51 Installation00 for those of us coming from his Discord.
Upon replaying the campaigns of the original trilogy, Halo 3 is the only one that held up. It just sucks reading about the third of the game’s content that was removed.
niofalpha I still love all of them tbh but halo 3's plot and sandbox is still unparalleled to me even to this day
I mean it totally comes down to preference but
• I think 2's campaign holds up aside from the balance
• CE's campaign can get repetitive with its level design but the gunplay is amazing
That said, Halo 3 is still the best. And I agree that the cut content woulda been great to see
No way...CEs campaign is still amazing man. So what get the levels repeat- the stakes and the encounters are different
@@Matanumi have you played the game since you were 11? I liked it when I was younger, but it just doesn’t hold up anymore. Playing through it feels like a chore.
@@niofalpha I would say that it held up extremely well but many areas are way too repetitive.
Amazing video. So many memories.
"You ever wish you knew you were in the 'good old days', before you left them?"
Andy - The Office.
When I was in junior high, I actually made the Halo 3 moment of one of the trailers with clay.
I loved halo 3, I got to skip school and play it all day, it was the best time of my life!
Halo 3 was really good, but I must admit, the campaign was quite short.
But the multiplayer was great
The campaign was short, but it didn't feel short if that makes sense, and the level design is amazing
@@hectorcastro4956 the levels were long, thought out and added a lot of lore
@@Collin212 exactly, now imagine how it would've if they had time to add more
@Joe i wish we got to play more levels on the ark, that thing was HUGE and yet we only got two levels ( who are some of my favorites)
@@hectorcastro4956 Levels: The Ark and The Covenant
I remember downloading the Halo 3 announcement trailer on my 360 and it taking forever to finish then watching it on a 100 pound 26 inch HDTV
Is that the weight of the TV or it's cost, Haha luls, those were the days man
I wanted to play Halo when I was younger, but my parents never allowed me to play violent games til not long ago. When I was watching this video of Halo 3 development, I was getting depressed hearing at the end every Halo TH-camrs nostalgic memories playing Halo 3 servers and making new friends and how it made them what they are. I wanted to cry, especially after I heard about the Xbox 360 servers shutting down. It's like a part of my childhood was taken away that I could have had. I play MCC, but not knowing what it was like playing 360 servers just makes me sad. It's something I'll never get a chance to get back. I'm happy playing MCC, but it will probably never be the same as playing on 360.
From the second I could work a controller I started playing Halo. I remember my parents Gathering people for 'Halo Nights' and being really excited the first time I got included.
Damn this was highly nostalgic 😞 the pinnacle of videogaming
Dude Halo was my whole middle school and high school. Playing jenga, fat kid, collecting skulls, everything! Best game ever
Great retrospective. Loved hearing all those experiences of playing it for the first time.
Honestly surprised this doesn't have 100k views, quality stuff.
I remember growing up on the ps2. When we finally got an xbox 360, and it came with halo 3, the graphics absolutely blew my mind. I had never seen anything so realistic before, such a great game
This was my childhood. I played over 6k games online, so many fond memories. Getting home from school and jumping online to play ranked, big team or fat kid. Never going to forget this game.
Did not expect a Halo 3 video to give me watery eyes. Well done man.
*Me thinking about this documentary* : By the Gods it is glorious..
Man getting those youtubers to list their memories and why they love and miss Halo 3... I'm just 17 and you're making me feel old man
"Bungie believed in Fun before Graphics"
Here, this right here, is pure wisdom.
And, ironically, Halo 3 *STILL* looks good even today, sure the textures and models ain't as sharp as modern games but they're still good looking
@@UNSCPILOT The only thing I think has seriously aged poorly is the marines faces, good lord they look like play dough
@@flowerpower003 true, though plenty of games from the Era ain't much better off there in fairness
@@UNSCPILOT Agreed honestly a lot of older games aged poorly when it comes to faces
Hearing that song Forgotten almost makes me shred a tear. What Memorys
this genuinely made me cry
Marty is such a great guy, saves the story and is all for the fans. Much respek
11:14 the good old days when u can have a bottle of Patron at work
You will never have as much fun in your life as you did when you were 12. I’m so thankful I made them with my friends on Halo 3. I’m eternally grateful I can appreciate this game, I hope I can witness my future kids create memories on a game they love one day.
Such an amazingly incredible video. You are a very talented creator Token.
The reminiscing part had me in tears. So many of us share the same memories with this beautiful game, i would do anything to go back and play fat kid and duck hunt with you all until i can't keep my eyes open anymore. I wouldn't be who I am today without this game and without all of our interactions with each other. Thankyou Bungie, thankyou Halo and thankyou to all of you who were there for the ride too
Was just recommended this video. This made me feel so good. The ending where everyone is talking about their time in Halo 3 gave me chills. We’re all adults now with families and jobs and whatnot, but man do we all have some amazing memories from Halo 3
Really good timing on this upload, glad to have something interesting, informative, and fun to watch! Thanks man.
So many chills and so many memories. Love this game and the community!
An upload after a long time :D
I would be very interested in some lore...
Love your content :)
This is such a bittersweet feeling; I feel senses of sadness and loneliness knowing that those amazing days are gone, yet at the same time, incredibly joyous for being able to enjoy so many aspects of one of the world’s greatest games. Man do I miss this.
There’s a lot more to come brother
It amazes me how outstanding this video is, let alone the rest of your videos. I can’t explain the nostalgic feeling that come from these videos. The choice in music, narration, and incorporation of fellow TH-camrs to build upon the retrospective view of such an iconic point in so many people’s lives is absolutely breathtaking.
Great video, gave me a very lovely nostalgic feeling.
A number of times during this vid i exclaimed "ohh shit, that's right remeber that man...." oh right im alone by myself.
This is such a great archival video, thank you so much
I loved this so much. Hearing all the TH-camrs I enjoy reminiscing on their times really hit an emotional note for me.
Excellent video, your sense of humor is amazing, as is your articulation of the content. Well edited, pretty well timed, and the inclusion of other youtubers was brilliant; loved their testimonies. Thanks Token, this was a great reflection
I love this video so much! No other game ever will bring me the kind of joy and nostalgia that halo 3 brings me! Forever my favorite game!!
These retrospective videos are soooo good! Thank you sir.
My God man, you make me cry so much out the nostalgia and the memories, keep on the good work!
Your videos are masterpieces, all the research, the editing, the narration and so on. Thanks for your work and please never stop
Glad you enjoyed, thank you!
What the...I found myself tearing up so hard when everyone joined in to share their memories. I guess I’ve really been impacted by this franchise. And thanks for doing such a great job capturing it, dude. Your content is so high quality!!
This was so well put together
Made me smile throughout
This video made me so nostalgic and was so well put together.
Definitely earned my sub. Amazing work!
He must be sponsored by 343 industries bc I felt like he was selling the game to me 😂
@big heart i would say bungie but 343 took over
Very well done. Very well done indeed. Couldn't stop watching.
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed!
Ive watched these for 3 hours now lol you bring back the best memories man and I thank you for these amazing thought out videos!!
Dude your video's are amazing and beautiful! Thanks for the all the time and effort you’ve put into this!
Bro this is epic that custom game night was 🔥!!!
The thing about halo I find so profound and enjoyable for me is I don't have to be Max sweaty to impact my team in a positive way it's about power weapons and map control example I could deny the other team a power weapon and die and it actually affects my team in a good way you could be a -kd player and still make a play also they always tell a good story
Phenomenal video. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for making this!!! This was awesome!
you made me play halo3 so hard that i had to interupt your vid to play some
Hearing all the voices of all these halo youtubers ive seen 😭😭😭
Man this is so relaxing and interesting to watch. Great work
Such a good video! Thanks so much! This really summarizes my same feelings and connection with Halo 3 💖
Fantastic video! This game was so important to so many people, myself included. I've been playing so much MCC on PC recently and I just wanna go rush and play some more now :)
When you let the AI marines drive the hog
Kat drives hog PTSD kicks in
Wow this is AMAZING! This is just so well done I can’t describe the feeling rn but man, kudos to you man kudos to you.
Absolutely love the video. From voice over to collaboration picks all I can say is great job.
No lie, this game and its memories make me wanna shed some tears. My wife calls me a loser for that lol
Haha loser

Damn 7 minutes ago. Love seeing this dudes content
So well put together. Thanks
This will for sure blow up like your complete timeline retrospective. Fantastic video!!
Love the video. Hey I am trying to make a video with as many halo content creators that want to participate. I dont really have a way to contact you so I am just asking you here
Thanks! Yeah I’d love to find out more about that, do you have Twitter or Discord?
@@SameToken I have both but it would be easiest to contact me on discord
DM me your Discord over Twitter and I’ll add!
Did it ever happen?
@@malachibergstrom5426 real talk. I wanna know.
Do you hear that? No? That’s the sound of everybody not caring if you’re first.
Just finished the video, almost in tears man great video. What a game this is
I feel like I’m going to end up watching this video at least 2-3 times a year. Such a nostalgia trip. All the voice testimonials from the other TH-cam guys is just such a cherry on top to this amazing capture of an absolutely historical game and gaming company. Thank you for this 🤘🏻🙌🏻
Best video I’ve seen on TH-cam ever. This bought back some of my best halo 3 memories! ❤️
This video captures everything halo 3 was and more. Can't thank you enough for sharing this, keep up the great work!
This made me almost tear up in many parts of the video, thank you.
AMAZING WORK!
You deserve so much recognition.
