I revisit this multiple times a year just to take a blast back to simpler times. 11 year old me loved this to pieces & 24 year old me loves it every way imaginable.
The game is still as great as i remember which is not surprising even as a child i knew i was playing a masterpiece. My only complaint about halo 3 is the grenade spamming issue.
It’s funny how I was around 8-10 when this came out and I wanted nothing more than to grow up... but now I want nothing more than to go back to the simpler times like these days
I hope this video never gets taken down. I like the actual song and can’t help but smirk and think of this every time it comes on this many years later. Wish you the best in everything james, you shaped lives with this
An absolute godly classic!!! I cant stress enough how videos like this arent only OG TH-cam, but also formed my child hood. Thank you James, thank you for this piece of my best memories.
I remember loving this and finding it funny 16 years ago when I was 11. I’m now watching it at 27 and laughing my ass off, loving it just as much, if not better. The glory days, didn’t know I was living, what a great song, so relatable
In bed right now at 3am when I have to be up early for work tomorrow and just saw this video and man do I wish I was a kid again, oh all the memories of playing halo 3 all day everyday with no responsibilities besides school. There are certain videos and songs that just remind me of the good old days and this video is one of them. I'm 20 now and I don't think I'll ever feel as free and happy as I was during the halo 3 days. If anyone feels the same way lemme know. Well like I said its late and I got work tomorrow so Ima go to sleep now. Wake me when u need me...
I was the same, rushing home to play Big Team Battles, making new friends playing Infection Custom Games (Mainly Fat Kid, if you know you know). Wish I could be that free again, I hope Halo 5/6 lives up to Halo 3, then maybe I'll buy an Xbox One even though the days will never be the same.
+pattycake350 if you know ur xbox live login for the same account u played halo 3 on it tells u ur hours played on halo waypoint now. I have 7 weeks and 4 days on Halo 3......
I'm 20 now. The Halo days were the greatest days of my life 2006-2011 or so in every way. it's sp hard to let go of those days, which is why I'm here 8 years later. it's truly heartbreaking, but I'm happy that those days happened. nostalgia is a strange and very human feeling. we'll make it through this man.
Miss you James At War. We were 10-11 When you made these.. now we are in college living life. I like to come back kick back crack a cold on and think about the halo 3 days. Thank you for the memories James.
Nostalgia overload. Cannot believe I watched this when I was in elementary school and now I’m 20. Time flies dude. Just happened to hear the original akon song and immediately had to search this as the memories flooded back haha. Miss these days
The nostalgia is mad watching this, used to be 13 now I'm 28 years old. Hope you and the family are doing well James, wish you all the best. Thanks for making my childhood amazing!
I remember sneaking out of my house with a friend the night halo 3 was released and going to walmart to pick it up for the midnight release. Getting back home and putting the disk in, shaking with excitement and not wanting to wake my mother up.. The moment the menue screen came up and listening to this song... Just gave me chills. Its been years that my xbox 360 has been hidden away in my closet collecting dust, but im bringing it back out just to mentally go back in time and play the campaign again. Legends never die.
Going into my senior year of high school and looking back at this video makes me cry. I found this gem in first grade I will never feel as free again, and youtube will never be the same genuine quality content ever again
Has it already been 7 years? My god nostalgia is such a beautiful thing. Cant wait for Master Chief collection, so I can relive my fond memories all over again.
Listening to this master piece in 2022 I’m emotional rn, remembering the good old days were almost everyone had a mic and was nice 🥺 Now I’m 31, playing Halo infinite alone 😞
Love Halo 3. Miss those days. I never talk to anyone online anymore, but back then I had a bunch of regular players and friends. Halo needs to be really hard to be fun, and Bungie was all about that. 343 watered it down so more people can "have fun" per MS's orders. I feel sad now. Im going to pop in Halo 3.
@@tristanzlotnicki8205 Eight years later, I'm a healer in Overwatch now. Mercy main, but I play her like she's Master Chief. Halo was great training. 🤘🤠
unfortunately, as much as we miss this game it just isn't the same anymore now that the weight of life has been thrown upon us, back when we were kids with almost no responsibilities it was easy to play this game and enjoy it with people just like you. I met so many people because of halo, and now they are all just memories. who knows how they are living now. if not dead already, sad to say...
I recall this song from back in the days (i played WoW A LOT) and somebody linked me this one, I found it funny but never played halo. and now after all those years I got bored and downloaded halo MCC and recalled this awesome tune. Oh man golden era of youtube, hell, of the whole internet to be honest! pure pwnage, wow, gaming 360p vids and all that stuff.
God damn. I remember watching this at the start of year 7 back in school. Now I've got a job and i'm in a long term relationship... Where the hell did all the years go? Where the hell did James go! This brings me back to some awesome times back in the school holidays. Damn, those were the days!
listened to this song with my friends back in halo 3.. man custom games forge.. the time i was 11 at the time 27 now.. time flies.. god take me back to that time
My best friend showed me this back in the day. We were always playing Halo 3. It was my Xbox live account but he was better than me so id always let him play main and I'd play guest. The good times before all the drugs and pain. Rest In Peace Chad, im still playing Halo 3.
I used to listen to this in the school library and man just got reminded of it. Nostalgia is a bitch sometimes TH-cam dont take this away from us. This is special
"...It must be just like deja vu - when I was playing Halo 2...." I remember how brilliant I thought that part was the first time I heard this in the late 2000's 😄
The worst thing is I am 30 and this song come out when I was 14 and I used to play halo 3 on the Xbox 360 slapping 50 lobbies while listening to this song now that makes me feel old once in a blue moon this song randomly pops in my head and I got to listen to it now if that doesn’t make me feel old I don’t know what does nostaljia at its finest
Just realized this has been out as long as me and my driver have been friends. 😂 We met playing Halo 3, still one of my fave songs from early YT days. Please never let this get taken down.
The chorus of this song just popped into my mind all of a sudden while I was having a serious conversation with my boss at work today. Weirdest timing, weirdest thing! I just had to come back here and relive this thing! Aaaaah so many great memories 😅 Thank Goodness we have the Internet!
R.i.p Halo3 first game I ever played much respect to you thanks for all the memories and great friends I have long made there rest in peace to all you halo3 gamers that didn't see the new year and to you especially Brian I wished you coulda seen the next halo R.I.P MLG big bro spent last few days rocking on halo3 in the hospital R.I.P True Halo fan
I am from Russia, we have a TH-cam portal StopGame and from them I learned about this song in 2013, I periodically remember)) Sometimes I wanted to be among the American gamers of the 2010s, during the black ops, because I liked COD, but we had the most popular youtuber on it with 10,000 views, I don’t even talk about Halo :D . But Counter Strike is very popular. But, something similar to COD and popular in the CIS is Warface))) Our local, cult game. Thank you for this unplanned song)
I remember watching this at 9 ... now im 25 .. wow .. im just about the age James was . I used to think dang , this fella is grown lol. Good song good times
God i wish i could experience sometime similar to the halo 3 launch. I was only like 6 when i came out but looking back everyone and their mother was losing their shit over that game and for good reason it kicks ass.
the dog isnt dead. My dad knows the guy that made this. He was stationed and buddies with everyone in this video. I actually went to that school in the background. They were all in the military, Air Force. Just some insight. Don't be sad.
i miss those days when people would stay up all night and play custom games with a full lobby and trying to get recon armor......those were the good days
Bout to be 2023 and came back the listen to this, James were ever you and your family are, just know you made so many peoples childhoods by this song! Thank you for that! OneLove 💯🤙
16 years after this song finding it now is so nostalgic to when I was 7yrs old playing halo 3 with my brother. Time to dig the old 360 out and play some halo 3 again 🥰
I was 6, playing Halo 3 and listening to this song on my 2g iPhone back in the days. I am now 20, still playing Halo 3, and still listening to this song.
I remember my brother showed me this when I was 8 years old , 8 years later I just remembered it for some reason so I came back to see if it was still here
I remember my dad taking me to his friends house to babysit and he let me play Halo 3 and I just screwed around in Sierra 117 shooting at the trees. He was a cool guy too
Watching this in June 2024, 16 years since it was put out, and it's still just as hilarious now as it was then! It remains one of my favourite parodies ever! I truly with you'd made it big with your ideas. I daresay you're every bit as talented as Weird Al!

I was 17 when this dropped lol. Legendary

It’s funny how I was around 8-10 when this came out and I wanted nothing more than to grow up... but now I want nothing more than to go back to the simpler times like these days
The world we were born in no longer exists.
My father always said I'd regret growing up too fast, but I never believed him.. That man was right though
After all the things that have happened since then to my dad passing last year, i’d wish for nothing more than to go back to these days.
It’s been 5 years since I posted this I was 15. Now at 20 and in the military I wish I could go back to 15
I hope this video never gets taken down. I like the actual song and can’t help but smirk and think of this every time it comes on this many years later. Wish you the best in everything james, you shaped lives with this

Man, I remember when Halo 3 first came out. The hype surrounding it was insane! I will never forget that.
Both Halo 3 and 2. When the trailer for Halo 2 was first shown, the faces were priceless when people saw dual-wielding for the first time
It's just something that 343 can never recreate. The classics will always prevail

This is literally the first youtube video I remember watching. It was beautiful then and it is beautiful now.
Turns out after over 10 years, I can still remember every single word to this song.
One the greatest songs of all time OG knows 😥 I miss those halo 3 days..
Loved it when I was 16, loving it even more with 31. Almost makes me cry mantears.
I still sing this now and then!
Watching this in November 2023 and that “ohhhh” at 2.47 still gets me even after 16 years haha!! All time classic video.
