I wonder if they would actually turn off the lights were this a real veteran of war. Surely when a guy describes how fucking tense that situation was back then, then surely turning off the lights at the old battlefield would bring up some BAAAD memories especially if the guy has PTSD.
i love how he paused before saying "ok" to turning the lights off. the delay really adds to the "emotional" state he would be in. i love halo, call me a fanboy all you want.
If they had this traumatic side to the war, halo would be uplifted to a new level in story telling entirely. I felt as though marines were just there to fight, and make jokes. If Bungie added this element of desperation and fear, halo 3 would've been greater
Remember in halo CE when introduced to the food they were scared. Really really scared. Their helmet cams show them just being devoured by the flood. Only 1 marine made it then freaks out. I know he would start shooting at you, but I also want to say he killed himself if you just left him.
All these live-action ads were just fucking brilliant. Some of the greatest advertisement I've ever seen, showing that Halo's got a solid story to back up it's 'shoot stuff real good' aspect.
@OutoftheblueNinja lol. you dont realize Bungie who have moved on to Codename: Per Audacia Ad Astra. and Microsoft and unveiled Halo 4 and a reboot of Halo CE that they are working on.
I don't know if anyone noticed this but at starting at 0:47 when the interviewer asks if he minds if they turn the lights off, between when that is said and when the camera backs away, the expression on his face shifts just slightly but has a complete change in tone.
hey if i were 1 of they i would have been freaked out no lights no sleep them being under u hunting u like holy shit y the hell do u have to wait for mc i mean dose he have to save evry ones ass cant a platone fight back or somthing
It does damage trees. You have to turn bulletholes/blood splatter effects on. If you melee a dead person with those effects on, blood will keep coming out and it'll make a huge blood spot on the ground.
these commercial just brings tears to my eyes based on how good the storyline of this game is... Halo: Combat evolved was truly the longest and the best FPS game ever!!
Ooh-rah, yes it is. Of course, we don't have that much electronic gear, so it mostly means killing what few light sources we have, and doing our best Sam Fisher impressions. :)
@bmxstreet6 Because the man that directed these tried to make a movie. (The same that made district 9) BUT his funding is and has been constantly cut. That's why he made these, so that he could try to get a major someone to pick him up and help with the cost it would take. :) Lets hope eh? That's all we can do right now.
can someone tell me what the voice says at the end of the clip? it always says something in every halo clip, but I don't understand it. @video: very nice. i love Halo, got H2 and 3.
You guys also have to remember its the military, you are either called by your last name or your rank... or both, in rare cases. I won't even be in uniform and people still call me by my rank (which happens to be Senior Chief)or last name. Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in
This has yet to be confirmed. They may just bring it back if conditions are right. A friend of mine worked with Microsoft, I asked about the movie a while back, he told me the movie was cancelled. People are saying that if District 9 goes good they may make the movie but I'm not 100% sure if this is true or not or just a joke.
@DrSparrowShrike Well ODST is like that.Yourea regular human being,not some armored ,physically enhanced super soldier, or alien commander with dual weilding abilities with some lightsaber- like sword.Youre just a ROOKIE marine trying to find your squad
It reminds me of the guerrilla warfare tactics I had to use playing Halo PC on Legendary. There were points when an Elite would walk towards you and turn around without noticing, if you show just a little bit of yourself while hiding by the rock you're pretty much fucked.
@macandfriends True, but please do remember that I am comparing this to the grunts in the campaign, who's weapons are supposed to be deadly, but of course are not, and instead are just annoying to even to the most unshielded and unarmoured of marines. Also note that I said "you" to mean the character you play as, who happens to be a fully armoured fully shielded Master Chief, who could take on 30 grunts and walk away without a scratch.
im 15 and want to be in the video editing world of advertisement. i love making TV ads and other things for local business in after effects, and what you said is really true. innovative ads work unbelievable better than normal one. just a good laugh, even if its at the company advertising work amazingly.
don't know if you care but MC was "made" along with a whole lot of other Spartans to specifically fight the covenant. for the most part they did pretty good, but without the mjolnir armor quite a few Spartans got scrapped (scraped, scrapped, can't remember the right one). Besides, what you just said there is kinda like saying you hate Legend of Zelda cause it's based on Link fighting almost impossible odds. Or like James bond movies/games etc.
You just have to think or how heavy that armer of his is, like in Halo3 when he crash lands and they have to get a heavy lifter to hall his ass untill me get up and walks it off like its nothen
just roll with it man, it a great game and number 3 is going to be awesome. sure bio shcok and other games are great to, but halos going to be a classic just for its hype. so why not, just go with it.
These commercials were really good. I was hoping the last stage would just be a massive battle on Earth with the Chief and the marines finally eliminating the Convenant from earth.
The reason they didn't use these commercial in the US is because we demonstrate so much ADD with television that If a commercial isn't loud, actiony or funny we don't wait or get it. All the best commercial never air in the US because of this.
@OldSchoolPatriot2012 I hate to ruin your comment, but between Halo 3 and Halo 2, the Elites rebelled against the covenant after realizing the true power of the Halo Rings. Technically, the elites would be on the UNSC side.
this video is another reason why microsoft and bungi finally stop fighting and make the dam halo movie, this video is so heart touching and sad, it makes u wonder when humanity will stop all this fighting and come to peace and make a monument dedicated to everyone who has died because of war and foolishness.
He has probebly begin making the movie, the movie will fall 2012. and so for the 360 marketplace, the Halo Reach series will bbe released. :-D cant wait. but rumors says that Masterchief wont be the Main character in the movie.
Hey guys I never really got into the Halo series but I love FPS's and I played the first two briefly and supposedly 3 is supposed to own the first two. Im iffy on weather or not to get it. Should I or not?
@Soulibon At this point in the war the Elites had left the Covenant and allied themselves with the UNSC. Any Elites on Earth when the Covenant Civil War began either defected or were butchered by the Brutes. Remember in the first level of Halo 3? That howling noise that spooks the Marines was made by the Brutes in the Kenyan Jungle, likely the same ones in this video.
I don't think I understand that, what I'm getting is that CoD switches who you play, but it still has a main character? If you mean different main character per game then I understand, but if it's the same person throughout it then I don't get it
dumby the movie was cancelled, leaving it to be made only if fans still wanted it enough. Now rumors are spreading across the web and sites such as imbd pointing to a possible bring back and a 2012 release.
very brilliant advertising, bringing the Halo franchise out and dramatizing it into something bigger than a videogame would definitely get more people to buy it since the ad is practically saying that you'll make history by playing it.
....the Spartans almost never lost in a fight. They were one of the few winning things the UNSC had in the war. The Spartans at the age of 12 beat trained adults soldiers before they were augmented. And when they did get augmented no soldiers could beat them. even when the soldiers and had power armor and the Spartans didn't. There are also more Spartans out there he isn't the last. Also the MC won at almost everything. He said i think it was Fred may have been his only rival at being best.
Well, If your Morale in a wars really low and your species is nearing extintion a super soldier that obliterates the enemy gonna sound real nice to hear.
I guess the plot for all these type of commercials is to make the game feel real. To make Halo look like a legendary war fought long ago. much like WWII. Makes the Master Chief look like Patton.
What I learned from these commercials: Interviewer does not understand PTSD.
+Derek Wilkinson TRIGGERED.
I wonder if they would actually turn off the lights were this a real veteran of war. Surely when a guy describes how fucking tense that situation was back then, then surely turning off the lights at the old battlefield would bring up some BAAAD memories especially if the guy has PTSD.
+Strong Bad I think he'd have known what he was getting himself into when he agreed to be interviewed and brought to the scene of his mission.
I love how after the lights go dar, he starts whispering. The memory is so vivid for him he is back inside of it. Wonderful acting, wonderful ad.
He responded too quickly and prepared that it didnt seem believable
i love how he paused before saying "ok" to turning the lights off. the delay really adds to the "emotional" state he would be in.
i love halo, call me a fanboy all you want.
This little 90 second commercials were better than halo: nightfall
If they had this traumatic side to the war, halo would be uplifted to a new level in story telling entirely. I felt as though marines were just there to fight, and make jokes. If Bungie added this element of desperation and fear, halo 3 would've been greater
They did add it. Compare the Halo 1-3 to Halo 4. It certainly is better in storytelling
Also, in game, you would see marines into desperation, suicide. Injured marines, etc.
Remember in halo CE when introduced to the food they were scared. Really really scared. Their helmet cams show them just being devoured by the flood. Only 1 marine made it then freaks out. I know he would start shooting at you, but I also want to say he killed himself if you just left him.
+Morgan Gigalag A FUCKING MEN. Look at Halo now and it's completely void of anything like this.
The Covenant found Earth, the Flood unleashed, the portal to the ark activated, the rings on standby.
They were way beyond.
All these live-action ads were just fucking brilliant. Some of the greatest advertisement I've ever seen, showing that Halo's got a solid story to back up it's 'shoot stuff real good' aspect.
Damn These Real Life Interview Spots make it all seem so real. I wish they were still coming out with a movie for it. i love it.
Brrrrr... still gives me the chills.
god i love halo. i hope they make a movie. if its anything like this series of comercials, it'd rock.
Damn sorry bro
@OutoftheblueNinja
lol. you dont realize Bungie who have moved on to Codename: Per Audacia Ad Astra. and Microsoft and unveiled Halo 4 and a reboot of Halo CE that they are working on.
i love halo. if this is what the movies gonna be like then count me in!
I don't know if anyone noticed this but at starting at 0:47 when the interviewer asks if he minds if they turn the lights off, between when that is said and when the camera backs away, the expression on his face shifts just slightly but has a complete change in tone.
hey if i were 1 of they i would have been freaked out no lights no sleep them being under u hunting u like holy shit y the hell do u have to wait for mc i mean dose he have to save evry ones ass cant a platone fight back or somthing
Hi, I hope your typing skills have improved over thirteen years time. ;P
Amazing...Amazing..Amazing...I cannot express just how amazing..
idk about most epic game ever made but without a doubt the best game advertising Ive ever seen
These commercials are awesome. Touching.
Halo 3 had amazing Marketing. AMAZING. Shame the actual game wasn't that great. I hope Reach will be better.
It was a great story, but the weapons were weird.
It does damage trees. You have to turn bulletholes/blood splatter effects on. If you melee a dead person with those effects on, blood will keep coming out and it'll make a huge blood spot on the ground.
these commercial just brings tears to my eyes based on how good the storyline of this game is... Halo: Combat evolved was truly the longest and the best FPS game ever!!
Goddamn, this ad campaign just keeps getting better and better. The acting is incredible.
this is the sweetest ad campaign ever!
@radiotevee are you thinking of "We Were Soldiers"?
all of believe commercials are emotional and shockingly good! good job Bungie! HALO FTW
tell you grandfather thank you for fighting for our country! God Bless you and America
Country? Try the entire galaxy! This man surved in the UNSC, not the USMC.
THESE COMMERCIALS ARE SO FREAKING COOL! DESPITE BEING MADE A WHILE AGO.
@Xtirpater read "First Strike" they aren't quite dead.
why is he whispering once the lights go off ,still a good video it never gets old
master chief is by far my fav halo character, i wish they could make a movie
theres still a halo movie in production, as soon as odst and halo chronicles and reach come out they will have more then enough money
Yep. Someone else picked it up. Heard it's gonna be out this fall or next fall.
Even if you hate or don't play Halo, this is a great advertisement.
THese were all really well made. I'd be dissapointed if they don't make a movie.
Ooh-rah, yes it is. Of course, we don't have that much electronic gear, so it mostly means killing what few light sources we have, and doing our best Sam Fisher impressions. :)
My god I love the sound of the marsh at night
@bmxstreet6 Because the man that directed these tried to make a movie. (The same that made district 9) BUT his funding is and has been constantly cut. That's why he made these, so that he could try to get a major someone to pick him up and help with the cost it would take. :) Lets hope eh? That's all we can do right now.
if they made the Halo movie, they could put this in it, somewhere at the end, as well as with the other 'believe' commercials! They're very good!
can someone tell me what the voice says at the end of the clip? it always says something in every halo clip, but I don't understand it.
@video: very nice. i love Halo, got H2 and 3.
You guys also have to remember its the military, you are either called by your last name or your rank... or both, in rare cases. I won't even be in uniform and people still call me by my rank (which happens to be Senior Chief)or last name.
Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in
never played a halo game in my life. thought that its was a movie trailer of some war game. now it makes me want to get the game
ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers they are nicknamed Helljumpers bacily they are marines but with a nicer uniform.
from watching all the trailers they made for the game.... i think that if and when they make a movie it should be pretty good
there was already a master chief armour in one ad with the 2 kids
yeah theyre doing a great job on this Halo 3 believe campaign
GOD when is the halo movie going to come!?!?!? It's goin to be epic and its goin to sell when it does!!!
This has yet to be confirmed. They may just bring it back if conditions are right. A friend of mine worked with Microsoft, I asked about the movie a while back, he told me the movie was cancelled.
People are saying that if District 9 goes good they may make the movie but I'm not 100% sure if this is true or not or just a joke.
@MASEK360 when is the movie expected to come out?
Yah I noticed how when they turned the lights out he started whispering, like he was back there again being hunted. Talk about good acting
@DrSparrowShrike Well ODST is like that.Yourea regular human being,not some armored ,physically enhanced super soldier, or alien commander with dual weilding abilities with some lightsaber- like sword.Youre just a ROOKIE marine trying to find your squad
OMG nice work guys!!!
@drj260 true but in reach its meant to be the last of the spartans but not including the chief =(
6 years ago and still epic.
Reminds me of Medal of honor rising sun, whent they had the interviews of people. Remember?
it's not a movie trailer, it's a game trailer. this was an ad campaign for Halo 3. but apparently there is a movie in the works.
wow when they turned the lights off, it was almost like you were there
It reminds me of the guerrilla warfare tactics I had to use playing Halo PC on Legendary. There were points when an Elite would walk towards you and turn around without noticing, if you show just a little bit of yourself while hiding by the rock you're pretty much fucked.
i can't wait for the movie to come out
@macandfriends True, but please do remember that I am comparing this to the grunts in the campaign, who's weapons are supposed to be deadly, but of course are not, and instead are just annoying to even to the most unshielded and unarmoured of marines. Also note that I said "you" to mean the character you play as, who happens to be a fully armoured fully shielded Master Chief, who could take on 30 grunts and walk away without a scratch.
I like these live action Halo vids

You just have to think or how heavy that armer of his is, like in Halo3 when he crash lands and they have to get a heavy lifter to hall his ass untill me get up and walks it off like its nothen
"For seven hours," another seven reference!
LOL listen, these are the same background noises as in Republic Commando! (The Multiplayer Map Garden)!
just roll with it man, it a great game and number 3 is going to be awesome. sure bio shcok and other games are great to, but halos going to be a classic just for its hype. so why not, just go with it.
where can i find more trailer like this?
These commercials were really good. I was hoping the last stage would just be a massive battle on Earth with the Chief and the marines finally eliminating the Convenant from earth.

thats half the reason they are making so many more halo games. so they can get a budget. its not cancelled
@OldSchoolPatriot2012 I hate to ruin your comment, but between Halo 3 and Halo 2, the Elites rebelled against the covenant after realizing the true power of the Halo Rings. Technically, the elites would be on the UNSC side.
Yo, whats wif the halo 3 commercial man?
what ever man but it make it inpiring that a hero can rise up and play a major role in distrying an much larger more advaced army of covenent
this video is another reason why microsoft and bungi finally stop fighting and make the dam halo movie, this video is so heart touching and sad, it makes u wonder when humanity will stop all this fighting and come to peace and make a monument dedicated to everyone who has died because of war and foolishness.

@xbox2014 You're mad? I'm stoked there is going to be more to play!
well they can be usefull sometimes... especially as distractions, but otherwise too... sometimes.
@Naugrimo yes if u understand the story yeah its cool
these commercials are surprisingly powerful
This was done by a plasma rifle! These spots are Brilliant!
Imagine the Brutes grunts and the Elites roars while watching this. It's haunting :).
I think Jackson may have directed the commercials.
sitting and waiting for seven hours to save your life. Sounds like a hell of a time!
Awesome commercial, he looks sort of like creed from the office
I don't think I understand that, what I'm getting is that CoD switches who you play, but it still has a main character? If you mean different main character per game then I understand, but if it's the same person throughout it then I don't get it
dumby the movie was cancelled, leaving it to be made only if fans still wanted it enough. Now rumors are spreading across the web and sites such as imbd pointing to a possible bring back and a 2012 release.
I love these
if a normal marine were to shoot a brute in the face (the part thats not covered by armor) with a battle rifle, would the brute fall???
my friend said that they cancel it cuz it was suppose to come out summer 2008
very brilliant advertising, bringing the Halo franchise out and dramatizing it into something bigger than a videogame would definitely get more people to buy it since the ad is practically saying that you'll make history by playing it.

Also the MC won at almost everything. He said i think it was Fred may have been his only rival at being best.
your rite man you could just heer the feer in his voice as if it was reel hes a good actor!!!
one of my friends said that on G4 they said the movie was going to be made afterall
Well, If your Morale in a wars really low and your species is nearing extintion a super soldier that obliterates the enemy gonna sound real nice to hear.
I guess the plot for all these type of commercials is to make the game feel real. To make Halo look like a legendary war fought long ago. much like WWII. Makes the Master Chief look like Patton.
that'd be funny if a cameraman jumped out while it was dark yelling like a covenant and the old guy had a heart attack.
Rumor has it that's what the Game they pulled from E3 '08 is.
@blazedbl Its reffering to the first level when Master Cheif crashes, how the marines watied for him to crash down.
