Thank you all so much!! - เกม
2 years later, rewatching this. there are quite a few things I get wrong in this video (like the destiny 2 stuff for instance) and if I ever cover this game again I'll try to address that, sorry
ok
Ok
No
I use keyboards
because to play it any other way would be unethical
Fun fact, the Grunts say "NOT AGAIN" when you sticky them because they believe in reincarnation.
That's actually a real thing, I didn't just make that up.
but did you really not make that up?
I feel like I remember reading this in one of the books... I think it was The Flood?
Jeez thats kinda dark if you think about it, the covenenant breed them like animals and put them on the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder, only for them to die and be reincarnated as worthless cannon fodder again
@Samuel Sandoval They shot him in his head!!!?!!
@@11Survivor swear i thought this was a reference to that one noscope song from machinama😂
You’re wrong.
“There are 9 missions and a mental stability test.”
-A really fit guy
The Acting Male Person
The library is my favourite mission
Kilian?
@@stinger59605 it's the act man
I think the library is part of why it was so good. When I replayed it recently I remembered and had the exact same feeling of relief when I finally heard a grunt again. I remember opening those giant doors sighing, letting my controller hit the floor and laid back. I let them kill me I was so overjoyed. I think that emotion drew me further into the game.
20 years and halos music still gives me goose bumps with every track. Only halo has done this. Absolute masta peice
I second this with the addition of the ace combat series
skyrim too, but that was 13 years ago
I fully agree about Halo OST.
It's an absolute master... ...chief
"I hope you wake up crucified, dude" is a very good line, I'm using it
I bet you’re the lame kid that wears quirky t shirts
stupid
Me and my brother joke that because chief was the only one not strapped in a chair when you land that everyone died because chief was bouncing around crushing everyone to death before getting knocked out.
My friend used to throw grenades into the pod to kill them more
That's actually a legitimate theory in the community.
@@heededshadow509 which one? Chief pin balling everyone to death or the guy who'd throw grenades in to double kill them?
@@humbleheathen69 Pinball
NOW IT MAKES ACTUAL SENSE!!!!!!
starting to get the impression that this guy likes halo
I'm still not convinced
but does he know the backpack reload
Nah, I'm not convinced yet
Are you sure? I don't get that vibe at all.
I dont really know man...
When I first played Halo 2 I was convinced Shooter Games could not get any better. I replayed the coop campaign with my best friend for 10 hours straight. Multiple times a week (no internet available, good times). And then Halo 3 came out. I still get goosebumps rewatching the trailers, sometimes I even recall certain smells or tastes from my childhood town when watching them.
Same here 😭 take me back to those golden days
I couldn’t wait to Finish The Fight. You can understand my disappointment when on a release date I come to my games dealer and he says: “What? I just sold your disc to some random dude minutes ago.” The last one. He also understood his mistake and the very next day he brought another disc right into my office.
Oh, and literally 2 days ago I bought Xbox 360 again just to replay the 3.
The Halo 3 ad campaign was absolutely the greatest of all time
The HALOverse was the first sci-fi world I really geeked out over. The fast and streamlined Spartans always appealed to me more than the 40k Astartes.
John was the perfect mix of human and warrior compared to 40k where it's almost like a parody.
Virgin Grunts: *Actual English words*

Hi Marty.

Martin O'Donnell OML am fan
Mr. Halo himself
Me and my dad just finished Halo 1 in Co-op for the first time. I have only played it once before and my dad isn't very experienced with games, but we still had an absolute blast. We both thought the enemies were really fun to fight, that the environments were awesome, the vehicles were super fun and the music added even more to experience.
If a 50+ year old who has barely played video games can jump in and enjoy and appreciate Halo 1, it is definitely doing something right.
I know this is 2 years later but I played both Halo 1 and Halo 2 campaigns with a family friend/uncle of mine when I was like 7-8? And seriously, these games are made to play with anyone and have a great, immersive time
I've watched this probably too many times. This has to be my favorite take on Halo, and most likely my favorite video on the entirety of the internet.
best halo video ever made
Nakey Jakey has an excellent trio of videos about the first 3 Halo games, if you liked Noodle's take you might like Jakey's take too
Who'd've thought a game originally designed as an RTS would develop into an FPS where the enemies actually... y'know, strategize...
This makes Destiny all the more depressing.
Huh, it all makes sence now
@@Zathren I feel like Destiny has the heart of old Halo, but they really didn't care. The enemies are deep and cool but the combat is boring to suit looter shooter bullshit.
I'm with a growing majority of people that want it to be more "difficult". _Actual,_ difficulty.
@@AWACS_Snowblind I played allot of destiny and just quit out of nowhere. I had fun with my clan and still talk to them but I cant play a game where after the story and general rare items the only goal is to farm for a slightly better roll of the weapon you already have.
And then also proceed to make a couple RTS's out of it.
OH MY GOD
Oh cool the living ray gun is here
I got whiplash when I heard your voice and realized what this meant. What are the odds, beautiful
Oh hey, its Chris David
What a fucking crossover lmao
Hey what are you doing here? Go away!
that spot on the floor from where icecream got hit with lazer is still there
The Forerunners and their Structures was the main reason why I got interested, that, the Weaponry of the races and a few other things. Halo 3's Menu Theme is the best and reflects the imminent danger of the Halos and Ark.
The fuck!!!!! Spoilers
This is just 20 minutes of having my thoughts and opinions confirmed and validated.
that's an entire genre of videos called "halo 1-3 reviews"
Fucking same
Same here.
Halo sucks
@@brainmusic3848 no u
I played Halo 1's campaign once when I was like 10, and thought "Eh its alright". I was more into Halo 3. Then like 3 years ago I decided to replay Halo 1 and, yeah, its not even nostalgia. Something just clicked. The aesthetic, the gameplay, the almost retro feel now. Its certainly has somehow skyrocketed into one of my favorite games of all time.
But What If Halo 1 Never Existed?
You should make a “What if Halo didn’t exist video?”
even more depression
tell your brother that
It's officially retro next year. Let that sink in.
For me it was the story and the characters. As a female, Master Chief gave me a lot of courage and inspired me to be a stronger person when it came to facing challenges in life.
Wait I thought people couldn't relate to characters who aren't the same gender race and sexuality as them?
@@Jiub_SNbegone
@@MrDBassettoh nah bro cast a spell on him 😂😂
Nothing wrong with that. It was a way for me to understand the role of a man who is capable of great violence. I was always saving as many marines as I could and I would constantly put myself between the covenant and my marines. And I would try as many times as it took to save them all. It never worked but I started to understand you can’t save everybody and you have to find a place where just attempting to save them is enough even if you don’t quite make it. I can definitely say that I loved the way the allied AI behaved if you turned into a Shithead cuz the marines turned into gods and would straight up end you right there and that is legit cuz soldiers regulate each other for sure. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to actually learn some things from the way they depicted chief.
So Halo story time, when I originally ran through the trilogy I never really used grenades, maybe I just didn't like them at the time. A friend and I went back and ran through the entire MCC a week ago and I fully understand the appeal of grenades now, I'd throw one pretty much at the start of any fight where enemies were even somewhat clustered.
After a session I took a moment to reflect on it, I'd only get one or two kills per throw, usually grunts, so why did I insist on doing it every encounter? The first obvious answer was "Because it's fun" which is all well and good, but after a while I realized the grenade _disrupts_ them. When the AI is running or hiding from a grenade they aren't actively shooting you, it's the same tactical consideration of forcing the enemy to react to you that an ambush provides. And I should emphasize at no point before this had I actively thought "grenades disrupt them", it was entirely intuitive and I'm amazed a 2001 fps had the ingredients in place for that kind of tactical consideration, much less make it feel that intuitive.
Then I also realized that the only other fps that fostered that snap-decision tactics in me was Deep Rock Galactic and the video is right, that goes worlds toward why shooters can feel so satisfying.
Noodle: "I hate the tank."
Me: "You have betrayed me, funny internet man."
I'll always love you Mr. Tank. Please ignore the man who believes you are not worthy of love.
I always got upset when they made me get out of my Tonk, When you have to fight 2 Scarabs at once in Halo 3 I ignored the Flying machines they gave you to get on top of the scarabs and snipe the generators and took both on in my Tonk
To be fair, the CE tank is kinda wack
@@GodRookie your face is wack
@@resijade4342 Thats true
"Idk if Halo was so ahead of its time"
They literally invented decision trees for AI, which is what everything uses now. So yea, they were a bit ahead of their time.
Do you have any links where I could read more about Halo's impact on stuff like this?
Wasn't that made by Half Life?
@@DanielGomez-xo1sh Not really. Half Life excelled at environmental story telling and it's gameplay. Halo took those and started a trend where FPS games have a story and AI decision paths. Half-Life, DOOM, and Halo are quite literally the Holy Trinity of the FPS Genre.
@@randomrealiramemberwithpro7205 pretty sure it was still half life. The AI in that game is crazy
maybe halo made it more sophisticated, but half life still started it
The way you float into frame at the beginning is gold.
I find it odd that no one talks about the amazing introduction of the flood. The way its hinted at and the little combat form that watches you from a distance just makes its eventual reveal so much better.
every time someone sings the halo theme, another voice is added to the Chorus, Making it ever louder
That’s actually dope..
As a person that has played the theme in band, it is really chilling, just everything that is put into that music. It is a work of art.
I made the likes 117
@@noice3788 thank you freind
@@isabellaw9710 yeah dude! Such a masterpiece!
halo is ok I guess
Well then dispute your opinion, and i quote “fuckin asshole”
found you
It's the best nostalgic fps game
After a thousand ish hours of play, i can state without a doubt, its okay
Sup circle boi
On the topic of the graphics, I think Halo CE is a testament to how amazing art direction can make a game still look great 20 years later, even if the graphics have undeniably aged.
I agree. I've only just now played Halo CE and it is so beautiful even with the older graphic fidelity. The art direction is incredible.
I got the pleasure of guiding a good friend through his first time playing Halo CE today. He had basically zero spoilers, he didn't even know Spartans were from Halo, but he came in with an appreciation for old games and left with an amazing experience.
did he know about the flood
I want a Helo poster like the one in the background

A great game Helo

Oh boy can’t wait for helo infinite
Some guy: "Halo isn't that good."
Noodle: "So be it. Save his head. Dispose of the rest."
Nice CE Reference.
A hater? In the core? That is absolutely unacceptable!
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli
sick refrence
I have not played through all of the Halo games (I've played at least one level in each game), but I HAVE played all of Halo Reach over 5 times and I have multiple books on the entire series. Every time I replay it, I am in awe of not only how much fun I have playing, but how emotional I get playing it. I feel so much for this game, and I have never felt it with any other game. Halo has a special place in my heart.
halo will always have a special place in any true gamers heart.
I watch this video just about once every 2 months. I keep coming back to it, not only because it's a greatly entertaining video, but also because of the pure enthusiasm that comes from Noodle here. With each subject, I can just tell how much he cares, and it just makes me want to care as much. This is even more apparent after watch the other Halo videos and the interview with Martin. Thank you Noodle, for sharing your heart here. 🧡
*Throws Sticky on Elite*

I heard this spot on lol
Ricky Sexton that’s like they’re weakness
I love and miss the old CE elites so much man.
I love the way they just drop their weapons and wave their hands in the air while making that noise
Impressive seeing someone go a whole 20 minutes just talking about CE without even mentioning the sequels
Tbf you could talk hours about each game without repeating a point once
I mean he did use Halo 3 Video Clips in the beginning
@@FRBlitz117 he didnt say anything about the games
And SPOILERS
FLOOD
@@FRBlitz117 that was Halo online
When I want to feel not shitty, I watch this video. Good job, man.
Is that are burn??
Born on Bungie day, 07.07. ( 2000 ) , first action shooter game I got was an original Halo CE for PC. I was visiting my mom's friend and she gave me that disk as a gift. I never forgot that moment. The decorations of that house, moments before and moments after. Went home , installed it and just started blasting. ( Note , I got this disk in 2005 ) Now, imagine me, 5 year old playing games, it took me over an hour for some levels, ( Truth and Reconciliation, Assault on control room and especially Library ). After beating the game I replayed it again and again on various difficulties, though at the time I couldn't beat it on legendary or heroic. And then I discovered multiplayer maps. My family was struggling a lot at the time so I didn't have internet. I wandered alone in maps, dreaming someone would enter these maps to play with me. Just exploring from map to map. Then when my parents got the internet I remember seeing something about "Halo Reach news incoming! Stay tuned!"
As my English was horrible at the time ( I am from Serbia btw ), I searched some stuff about CE and found some update for servers and stuff and boy it was an update. An update to my life. I got to play Halo online for the first time! I had so much fun, driving warthogs with other players, banshees, modded maps etc.
2007, started elementary school and found out about Halo 2, Halo 3 and and TH-cam. I just sat at computer . I spent hours and hours watching multiplayer, single player, montages, linkin park halo AMVs, master chief face, halo vs counterstrike, halo vs call of duty, i listened to that remix of snow from RHCP like crazy. I tried to install Halo mods into GTA SA but never knew how. My dad got me a window Vista and there was a version of Halo 2 for Vista and I fell in love with it. To think that Halo 1 had continuation for me at the time was mind blowing! The new battle rifle, arbiter, drivable wraiths, brute plasma rifles... Imagine my happiness at that time.
Then it happened, I found it. Halo 3.
Due to my poor situation at my household and economic crisis in 2010 , my parents almost divorced and I got into massive depression ( I don't know if it was depression but it was a really dark time for 10 year old me ) . I saw that Halo 3 was only available for XBOX 360 and my parents barely afforded bread, so console was out of options ( To this day, I've never owned any gaming console ). I just aimlessly watched Halo 3 gameplay and dreamed of playing it and especially Halo 3 ODST, which funnily enough, is still my Facebook cover photo !
Year or two after, Reach came out. And Reach has special place in my heart . I was heavily bullied at school, it broke my mental health and it still haunts me to this day. Coming home to watch Reach gameplay, Red vs Blue , 100 ways to die in Halo Reach was a therapy for me ( also I discovered my friends ( friends to this day ) from neighborhood knew little about Halo so I taught them ). Playing it however was not a possibility at all.
2012, Halo 4. I was just amazed with graphics, new foes, Didact and I remember that flood game mode for multiplayer.
Getting a new laptop with windows 7, vista on PC was gone, dad installed a windows 7 there and I lost access to Halo 2. I found out about Halo 2 Project Cartographer and it was a cure to my Halo solutide at the time. And by coincidence, I found out about Halo online. I remember it had dmr, a gun that I adored. Though unfortunately, my PC was crap and I couldn't join online games so I played alone in multiplayer maps. El Dewrito or something it was called.
Few years later, Halo 5 came out, I started high school and things got a lot better for me, new friends, girls, school, things. Used to watch HokieBird428 for gameplay and noobs guide to legendary. I never, to this day, watched or played Halo 5. Then I started going back to other games like Elder scrolls, GTA,
NFS, Minecraft especially. I was never able to buy then Minecraft, I really don't know why, but in those cracked servers, I had built Halo structures, Halo factions, Halo mods and it was my first connection to modern Halo.
Years passes, entered uni in 2019, new city, new amazing friends. Forgot completely about Halo... I'm majoring in Japanese so I didn't have lots of time to focus on new games, game news but one headline stuck out to me - " Halo MCC comes to steam on December 3rd 2019 ". WOW .. I quickly dropped saving money for PlayStation 4. Quickly went to the bank, opened bank account but the process for some reason to get my credit cards was so long I had to wait to buy it. I tried downloading Halo Reach via pirate sites but it wouldn't work for some reason. COVID-19 came, I got infected 3 times with it, money I worked for went to parties, girlfriends, uni, books ( I'm a bookworm ). Then I was scrolling thru some TikToks and I heard it, the epilogue ost from Halo 2 . Legit tears went into my eyes. I felt bad for forgetting about my first game, my favourite franchise... I had like 20€ with me and I did the most shameful thing 21 yr old guy can do, I asked my mom to buy me the MCC ( it was 25€ on sale ) . I gave her the money I had, she added 5€ and finally, after 10 years, 10 goddamn years, I got to play Halo Reach, Halo 3 and 4. ( My mom actually asked me why didn't I ask her sooner cuz she knew MCC was coming to steam ). I bursted into tears. I haven't cried from 2015 and in 2021 I cried. I had the same look at the game the way I had it in 2005. I've now beaten all games on legendary , except Halo 5 and Infinite because I don't own any console or a powerful PC and I'm working to save the money in this crisis. My lucky number is 7, Bungie day is 7 , Halo number is 7, I am born on 7th of July and Halo shaped my life and will continue to shape it. This is why Halo is important to me.
The fact that he went to Forge to create a whole level just for 5 seconds of footage is dedication
How did he add covenant??
@@Cwilds …oh yeah
@@Cwilds mods
And the fact that he went to all that effort not to spoil "those guys" where high-powered snipers won't work against them since they don't technically have a head or CNS is also well done.
Halo infinite multiplayer is gonna be free, you should defenitely try it
Chief killed everyone on the life pod by bouncing around in it since he didn’t take a seat
Edit: idk if people think that I’m serious about my comment, it’s just something I thought would be funny if I said it because, it’s not true (I think)
The exact same reason you wear a ducking seatbelt.
He did not take a seat, because you see when he boards there are no seats left.
What is even more interesting, after the crash there are three bodies missing, so someone walked away whilst the chief was unconscious
Spoilers man.
@@Goddessllias yeah, for the first hour of gameplay, of a 20 year old game.
NO CHIEF! YOU'LL BE FINE AND WE'LL DIE BECAUSE OF YOU RATTLING AROUND IN HERE!
TH-cam recommends this to me every few months and I rewatch it every time. I'm glad to see someone who loves CE as much as I do.
brother jaufrey!! thank goodness your safe, prior maybriel is dead!!
@@pisscvre69 I've had this profile picture for years and I think you're the first to notice it lmfao
This is one of the few videos that actually manages to almost concretely identify all the little details that forms an overall intangible feeling of greatness this game - and others in the series - has.
Spoiler alert:
Green man shoots the bad aliens and saves the universe. At least for a little while.
Thanks, you just spoiled Shrek for me. I was waiting to watch it on my wedding night, now it's ruined.
You ruined Hulk for me.... Great😐

I love the lil animation at 17:23
Also yea love the rest of the vid too ig (but fr it’s pretty cohesive and comprehensive and explains all of the reasons I love the franchise as a whole)
Thank you for this. I had/have a hard time justifying how good this game is/was. I’ll never forget sitting in my parents back room glaring at a tiny 15” box at 3 in the morning. The only other game to keep me up late before halo was Red Alert…. Mainly cuz I would actively try and crash my dads computer by building the biggest army cuz I thought it was funny as hell….. I had never experienced a game like Halo before…
Also, You mentioned the library. It does suck but it still holds a special place in my heart…. You spend your first hour thinking you can fight the flood off…. That doesn’t work so you decide to run which turns out to be just as hard and after 10 minutes of running you come across the most diabolical combination EVER…zombies with rocket launchers….. ass holes….. and when all is said and done, you shot your last shot and you’ve punched your last punch, you finally walk on to the platform lift to leave the god forsaken place known as the library…..only to get t-bagged by the devs in the form of the little text that says “Wait, It Gets Worse!”….. and you realize that was level 1…..I’ve never hated and yet loved a game so much in my life.
the absolute worst (best) part of that level is when you have to wait for 343 to fix the door that won't open..... and the one behind you closes
then the music starts.
It's kinda disappointing that playstation players or just people who've never played the games just think it's just like any other fps... big sad
Since 341 industries took over, this is sadly true
i grew up on ps/ps2/ps3. But my cousin had an xbox and introduced me to Halo that I literally bought a 360 to play Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and Halo Wars until Halo 4 came out then I went back to ps4
Ever wondered, that maybe just because you assume something, that doesn't make it so.
You assume you know what PlayStation players are thinking, you don't.
Does it really matter, Halo died after reach, there isn't any resurrecting it.
@@WhoThisMonkey well if you play playstation you most likely wont play an xbox exclusive game :/
@@GooninRaccoonin lol
I've never heard such a great comparison
Doom: When movies first got sound
Halo: When movies first got color
Exactly what I thought
I would have said that Half Life is when movies first got colour.
@@zoltar0205 They both did alot for the industry. Halo seemed to be more popular among those that were children when it was made. Half life by those that were nearly adults.
@@zoltar0205 me too
@PYXB3 and halo ce has 70% of its length made out of copy-pasted samey, boring scenery. half life was fresh from beginning to end.
to me, the coop aspect of halo was 90% of the game. because as someone who came from pc games, halo felt too floaty and slow most of the time. the first halo i thought was good enough to stand on its own was reach. everything has proper weight, the game flows a lot faster and the weapon sandbox is varied and fun. and most importantly, the campaign is carefully crafted from beginning to end. it never feels repetitive, and it has by far the best story in any halo. and i like noble 6 over master chief any day of the week. ironically, "halo purists" hate that one. oh well, it's the best halo ever and bungie seems to think it's their masterpiece, too.
After two and a half years I finally got my hands on the game.
After another year I finally got my hands on the game (again) and finally finished it.
All because of this video (i wanted to watch it real bad but was afraid of spoilers). Thank you Noodle for this recommendation.
(It is now 4 AM i beat it from start to finish i have work tomorrow help me)
Infinity Ward got some of this right with the OG Modern Warfare 2. Yes it was mostly linear, but you could choose a couple play style options based on a wide variety of weapons. You can be stealthy with a suppressed pistol, go Rambo with an LMG and knife, become the terminator with a lever action shotgun. It also has many unique locations. I don't think we get a lot of what we love and loved later without this game.
We all love Halo when we talk about it from our nostalgic feelings, until you remember those times where the Halo 2 Jackal would snipe you outta nowhere and you'd rage.
Seriously why the fuck are you everywhere?
Wow you really do appear everwhere
_everywhere I go, I see _*_you_*
@@noble14 No one cares.
@@jackcolson4745 No one cares, now comment something more than just that because everytime he comments there is a simp who says that.
Love how the elites strength and weakness is both “asshole”
This is a game I can just watch someone play through the campaign. It’s so satisfying
(8:50)
Incidentally, "the tactical finesse of a frog" also describes how I play Halo's multiplayer.
Bonus fun fact, while I had the game at age 7, I wasn't allowed to play after my mom saw a body get flung. My next Halo experience would be Reach and 4 when I moved and had a friend with the game. I hadn't played through the original game until I recently got it with the Master Chief Collection.
"When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?"
Blinded?
Dumbstruck?
Yet the humans were able to evade your ships, land on the sacred ring, and desecrate it with their filthy footsteps?
Noble hierarchs, surely you understand that once the parasite attacked...
There will be order in this council!
The fact that the guy in the beginning didn’t chant along proves he’s not a man of refined taste.

13:04 there had to be an add as soon as he shot the grunt, it made me die. 😂
The only shooter I ever played that was close to Halo in atmosphere and combat was Resistance: Fall of Man. That vibe of a near hopeless fight against insurmountable odds combined with the unique weapons and enemies made it a solid contender. I played Halo 3 and Fall of Man at about the same time and even today I can't really say one is better, they're just a different experience.
This man ended the video with such a passionate call to action he literally told everyone to unsubscribe
lol i just subbed cause he said that, laughed so hard
Cyk ,
This video is basically just me having my biases confirmed for 20 minutes straight.
And I'm a-okay with that.
Halo is the Star Wars of Videogames.
@@Marinealver I was gonna say that star wars most recent movies sucked but then I realised... Yeah

Halo and Star wars also have a very divisive prequel that split the fan base.
I've rewatched this video like 4 times already
This is probably how I felt about Tenchu Stealth Assassin.
Tenchu is such a fucking fantastic game with FANTASTIC FUCKING MUSIC. God, I wish it were back.
I'd like to mention a specific thing in just Silent Cartographer. The level does a perfect job sounding and feeling like it's taking place during summer. You can hear bugs buzzing, birds chirping, the breeze blowing, the ocean waves rolling, and see the sunlight bathing everything in a warm light. Even when there's nothing happening, it feels so alive and I swear I can actually feel the wind and sun beating down. Then, whenever you enter a forerunner structure there, you can hear the outside for a bit until you're completely inside, and it becomes eerily quiet. This is another instance where I swear can feel exactly what the temperature itself might be, with forerunner interiors maybe feeling air conditioned and very comfortable, but the air itself is abnormally still. Halo is a god damn masterclass in creating environments, you'd be hard pressed to find even AAA games with state-of-the-art photorealistic graphics actually nail the fucking _feeling_ of realism.
i think that forerunner structures are cold and ventilated. but the outside is warm and i mean comfortable warm.
YeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEES DUDE. Any time I'm in the Forerunner structures like in Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room I can almost feel the empty cold of a room filled with metal and technology.

Feel the same way about oot
Straight from the heart
I don't think Halo's graphics are done justice by being displayed in high resolution. In high res it looks jagged, blocky and blurry, but that's not really how it looked back in the day, and it's not just nostalgia.
On a CRT TV, in standard definition, those imperfections were much more hidden and it looked kind of _flawless_ as the level of detail pretty much maxed out what could come through in a 480i resolution. The art wasn't crafted to be seen blown up in hidef resolutions.
I just finished the entire MCC and i am disappointed at myself for not getting the game in my xbox to begin with. It's so God dammm fun
It was horrible when it was first released but it's come a long way dw you did good by waiting
You sir are correct
The Super Trash Man what do you mean it was horrible?
Me too!!!
Yoo lol wtf I did too, me and my buddies have been going through every halo, reach through 5, we’re half way through 5 right now but we completed the rest of the mcc
Wow, this was a really good an entertaining retrospective on why Halo is so important to me and many others. Really great job!
Didn’t expect to see you here at this time. I really liked your video on Super Mario 3D all stars keep up the great work

@@WastedGoatFR what about the peanut butter mouth hoarse
Halo 3’s campaign is one of the most nostalgic thing in my life! Whenever I think of it I can have nothing but pure unbridled joy and happy memories!
I had a substitute teacher in elementary who loved halo but her brother never let her actually play the game but whenever he was gone she would always play it with her sister and decided to join a tournament. She won the tournament and got a clear Xbox, when she left though someone offered her 600 bucks for it and she took the deal
In my high school coding class, one of the guys had managed to get the demo for Halo on all the computers. So every day, me and one other guy would type up the work, then copy paste it and send it to everyone else so they could say they’d finished it. Then we’d spend the rest of the day playing Halo.
Rie Ta LMAO, thanks man. I don’t know if I’d say that helping dudes skip class work to play the Halo demo’s multiplayer “enriching their lives,” but your kindness is much appreciated. Thank you, dude!
ဂရိ
I had a friend who did the exact same thing. The best part was our teacher really didn't care as long as we got our coding work turned in at the deadline.
I even brought in an xbox controller so I could play it better xD
This sounds familiar to me?
This is the best "I love Halo and here's why" video on TH-cam.
Idk man, NakedJacobs one is pretty good
Yeah this video is cringy
"I'm commander shepard and this is my favorite halo review on the citadel"

It really is!!

I think John halo is a pretty cool guy he shoots alien and isn't afraid of anything.
Mister Cueef just wants to be friends with suspicious floating ball guy and save the day.
me and this one guy i was friends with in highschool would talk about dump stuff in halo and pretend like we actually played it together alot. i have no idea what sparked this between but man i hope that dude it doing well for himself.
the only i remember is that we talked about the tank in the winter place and how one of us drove it up to the cliff and fell off on all ALL of the allies at the bottom.
it was all fake but its some fun core memories that i think back too every now and again.
This video inspired me to take my friend (shes never played any of the halo games) in the span of 2 weeks through every halo game and shes loved every one of them
I don’t have one ☹️
What about 4 and 5 ? I’m curious
@@giggabyte1075 4 was meh and 5 we didn't play because it skipped cutscenes in co-op

Хелоу
I thought the exact same thing
Played Halo as soon as it came out. I instantly fell in love and the series became my childhood. I loved the Campaigns cause I was also alone, and I even read the books back in the day. There are very few games that have left such an impact on me as halo 1, 2 ,3, reach, and ODST have.
i like rewatching this when im down, it makes me smile
I first heard the halo theme when I was a baby wandering into the gaming room of my dad's work friend's kid's place. It was just an empty room and the halo title screen. I sat down and listened to it loop a couple times, totally in awe, and then the guy came back and offered to let me play the tutorial mission. I got stuck because we both forgot how to crouch, but it was really sweet and I have been thinking positively about halo ever since.
"both forgot how to crouch" sounds like something I'd do

I just started playing the halo games. With no nostalgic attachment whatsoever, I can tell you that your feelings toward the game are 100% correct. So fucking good.
Same here
The only bad Halo game is Halo 5.
Did you enjoy "assault on the control room" and its same exact room recycled about 12 times?
Do you think they should have gone for one more? Or another bridge maybe?
lmao
@@MisterL777 seeing your profile picture i won't hold that much of a weight towards your opinion
Oh Yeah Yeah * bad campaign *. The multiplayer is unique and it is fun.
0:21 That sound. I haven't heard that effect in a long time, long time
My favorite thing about Halo is that even if you don’t enjoy the minimal storytelling in this game, you don’t have to sit with just the game’s storytelling. There’s an entire book trilogy revolving around it. The Fall of Reach takes place before the game, The Flood is the events of the game as a novel, and First Strike (in my opinion, it’s the best one out of the 30+ books) details the events between Combat Evolved and Halo 2. It’s some of the best literature I’ve ever read.
"Ooh! I get his gun!"
That was great. The voice lines of these enemies makes them so much better
Agreed. The little moments of levity when the game isn't afraid to not take itself seriously really makes the somber moments pop.
just imagine going to someone's house and seeing that they have a bootleg halo poster named HeLo
😂😂😂
16:59 this song gives off like a “how did we get here” feeling
@9:13 that’s exactly why doom and doom 2 specifically are still playable. Because the combinations of mobs and geometry of the maps, makes for new and varied challenges depending entirely on how a level is made and how enemies are placed. The interactions are sublime and can force a player who understands the game to solve a room like a puzzle game. This gun against this enemy in this order plus my skill minus the level geometry; makes it so even to this day new wads and maps can still be interesting and challenging.
The original HALO trilogy's soundtrack, to this day, continues to be one of the most memorable and... simply high quality musical scores I have ever heard. There is something special about the way it evokes emotion so profoundly and meaningfully. Marty did a grand job, equalled by few if any.
Halo 3 made me feel like a badass, the music was a big part of that
Speaking of sountracks, ODST gets a more-than-honorable mention. Even people who didn't like it in particular (even though, apart from Characters and story it's 100% still Halo 3) I can't say I've ever had someone level dislike at the music and ambience of ODST.
Steve Vai recorded the guitar drop for Halo 2 while he was just aimlessly riffing in studio
And now it seems like Halo:Infinite will be added to that list, the music they’ve shown so far are nothing short of masterpieces
I mean, ODST and Reach also had killer soundtracks
The most satisfying noise I've ever heard was when the energy shield regenerates
And PTSD hit when the shield empty sound show up.

Am I the only one who played halo 4, on the x box 360
@Luca Kasaboski Halo 5 I could understand but what's 4 done to you
I will understand the people that think this game is ugly
The game's use of sheer contrast and pitch blackness is absolutely . I can't remember the last time I've played a game that actually leveraged the bottom 25% of available display brightness so effectively and so often.
It looks dated, it's certainly "old CGI", but I can say the words "Forerunner Architecture" and anyone who has played any halo game will instantly know exactly what I am talking about. this game's art direction is and even just watching this video I found myself feeling chills. And I don't even have any nostalgia for this game! I played through it (and the rest of the series) for the first time in 2021 with my boyfriend! we were both absolutely shocked at how sophisticated the AI was especially on legendary and had an absolute blast despite dying like 43 times per level
Played Halo 1 with a friend who had never given Halo a try before about a month back. The dude didn't even know about the flood. I don't know how he managed to go as long as he did and not get spoiled about the flood, but he was really surprised when we got to that level. We played on old graphics too, so he got the full experience (as full as he could given how the game was ported).
It was a good time!
I love how you didn't spoil the 2 other factions in a game that is NEARLY AS OLD AS I AM.
Ok zoomer.
@@GamePath ok boomer.
I appreciate that cuz u never know who hasn't played it yet. Cuz I am a huge halo fan myself but i still have a lot of lore to learn and halo to replay
@@matthewcaines9176 Read the books, thats a lot of lore to read :D and there are good
Fun tidbit, Medal of honor included a copy of halo's control scheme and called the layout "hail to the Chief" in honor of Halo and it's accomplishments.
Interesting, but Halo did not invent the two-stick shooter control scheme. I'm not sure what game did it first, but Timesplitters was using it a full year before Halo.
@@danielshults5243it was the aliens shooter in the playstation 1
I’m 25, and I’d never played Halo in my life.
I watched your video two months ago. I decided to give it a try. I spent $5 at my local used game store to get an original Xbox copy.
I now own all the Bungie Halo games.
is that the fucking item pickup noise from star wars jedi knight 0:20
what the fuck i love you now
It's been like 20 years and nothing's caught up to the enemy design of Halo.
Except maybe doom 2016 and eternal.
Doom 2016 and eternal's AI are amazing in terms of the ways you fight them, but I find them mostly lackluster in the ways that they can fight you, imo
@@rickygforce4217 Yeah that's the part that I think people don't consistently get, is that Halo AI actually react in real time to your actions. They dodge slow moving projectiles as if the projectiles themselves were enemies. They sidestep grenades midair. They push you when you're low, hang back when you're shooting, and go all-out when they know they're beat. The Halo AI as said in the vid will beat you because you got careless or because you got outmaneuvered. Elites are actually intended to largely equal you in combat (which shows in the later games) and will shoot at you until they get low on health and then run to cover. They'll wit for you to shift focus because you WILL likely have to and when you do they make their moves. It's a hell of a lot harder than any modern FPS where it's just a killhouse but the targets have guns.
@@Tactical_wulf5.56 Bruh, Doom enemies pretty much just rush you.
@@JMcIntosh1 2016s are mostly that. But In doom eternal there are other enemies that stand back at a distance and spam like turrets. Some pop shields up to prevent you from hitting other demons or stop you from getting health back and others are specifically used as punishment for not paying attention to a certain enemy type long enough. So no. Not all of them rush you.
This is the first game I ever remember playing. I got the demo for the pc version when it came on a disk with PC Gamer magazine. It was the Silent Cartographer level up to the point where you open the door the gold elite is behind. I was like 4 or 5 years old and I loved it so much. Getting the full game months later was great and I used to play it with my dad alot where we would swap off after dying.
I remember wanting to play the new games when they came out but I didn’t get an xbox until after Reach came out and I had to wait until I hot windows 7 to play Halo 2. A significant amount of my childhood was spent adoring this game and when I got an xbox 360 years later, I was so pumped to actually play the rest of the series. It still holds a place really close to my heart and Halo CE is my favorite of the series even now.
Aw man, I remember the Halo CE PC Demo, I remember my friend showed me how to mod it to get all the campaign missions for free lmao.
Halo CE and Titanfall 2 are two of my favorite shooters for dramatically different reasons, but I think it's interesting which things are similar - fantastic animations, great music, and excellent level design.
Same here but halo reach instead of CE. CE is still good but I liked reach better
"So you wouldn't use a grenade on a grunt"
The guy playing the halo infinite demo: I'm gonna pretend I didnt see that
The thing is that I totally would use a frag grenade on a Grunt if there are like two or three of them clustered up. Less guns shooting at me while I can fully focus on the bigger threat after throwing the grenade. Or if I know the grenade will off a Grunt/Jackal and soften up an Elite.
Fuck I love Halo I'm gonna go play some Firefight.
And then a few seconds later he says "but you do want to, because they run into their friends."
@@sirjoey3137 Nah, that's for a plasma grenade. The person playing the demo was using a frag.
There's nothing more fun than tossing a grenade between a group of grunts.
@@Manas_Choudhary Damn right
I just bought Halo: MCC and I got so used to Destiny's adrenaline type fight scenes that I kept rushing inside enemy lines and died. The moment i got a shot gun in Reach and an elite charging at me made me actually remember that Halo had a lot of depth inside its combat that's why me and my brother usually had call outs when we were kids and even rationed ammo. This video is one big coincidence!
Have you found a way to permanently enable the classic music in CE? Until now I've only found it for individual missions, and it doesn't get saved
@@Cyliandre441 That may be a bug, report it on 343's bug tracker
Not even kidding I did the same thing with Destiny and Halo
Noodle, I'm gonna try the first halo campaign game. Like you said it's just 5 dollars and I've never played a bungee halo game (only 343 studios) so I'll tell my experience, you made great videos a couple years ago and it's still getting better now
Edit: Hey noodle! I finally finished the campaign a while ago with the original graphics and you were right it was a masterpiece. Thank you so much for not spoiling because the story from beginning to end was an actually masterpiece, and the bit about environmental story telling AND the game being difficult enough to actually make the player think was honestly the best part, it makes me appreciate it so much more.
Turns out my dad played it, and so when I played it we learned that we both love Halo!
Also one more thing: (spoiler alert)
The flood was scary.
Halo and Half Life are two of my favorite shooters of all time, and you touched on many of the points that make them a cut above the rest. Consistent direction, great music, atmosphere, great gameplay. Something I find so rare about Halo 1 especially, and Half-Life as well, was that sense of overwhelming loneliness. You are this guy who survived, largely due to your armor or forces outside your control, and though you meet allies along the way, they don't last long and you're mostly alone. The world is enormous because you're so small in it. Even small places feel significant. Fallout often nails this vibe too.
