Was literally the first game that made a 3D shooter like this. It was revolutionary, the controllers we use today were modelled off off one that was made exclusively to play halo. It’s literally one of the main origins of the shooter genre other than some fun 2D shooters

@@musestarlight1 for real lol I can totally see a kid in todays world saying old games sucked. In reality after around 2013 when gta 5 released good games were a rarity. Its when developers stopped caring about their games and only saw green in their eyes.

@@thebookofbry It's a bitch. Way harder than 2, 2 is predictable. Good luck to you! As a fellow Halo superfan/psycho legendary enjoyer I now play Legendary by default. Hope you can do the same one day
@Arkira_X The way it should be. It's meant for fun. You'd do yourself a disservice excluding entire places to play cause you think it makes you look cool to people you don't know. It looks stupid.
I feel like Dontai don’t understand how much this means to me and to other halo og players. Halo is best campaign yet become most underrated because ofc time goes on.
@Zeniyibaby because there was nothing else at the time there's far better games and story modes that wash halo there's a reason the franchise fell of and is now carried by nostalgic 30 year Olds
This legit is a dream come true. I cant wait to see you play through the series. Halo 2, 3, and Reach are GOATED. Also once you get to halo 2, turn down the volume of the guns n shit to hear the soundtrack better cuz that soundtrack is peak
Just a word of advice dontai when fighting hunters they are most vulnerable in the back. Where the armour tread ends and the orange skin is exposed. Also always have a long range weapon with you at all times. In the later missions I use the army pistol because it’s powerful and is very close “range wise” with the sniper that’s zoomed in
I’ve only played Halo 3 and never finished the story but as soon as this noti hit my phone I literally went “oh my god this series gonna bang”😭😭 Dontai really cooking
Yooo I'm so hyped to see you experience this for the first time! I found your channel on the Black Ops series and I'm staying for the Halo series. Keep up the fight!
You kids need to understand what shooter games were before this game, it’s called Halo: Combat Evolved because it completely changed it from what it was to what it still is now
This isnt the very first time, but its one of the first times im watching the gaming channel and im glad youre playing this game. Halo was a huge part of my early childhood, and you were a huge part of my early-late teens so its a perfect combo. Love this video.
Holy Shit!!!! This is so dope. Note: Please play in classic graphics mode as the music is much much better. In anniversary mode they mess up the placement of music and change a lot of it, and one of the best things about Halo is its music. Anniversary graphics also doesn't really set the tone of Halo's art style, for Combat Evolved at least. Halo 2 Anniversary is a bit better but honestly you won't regret playing the Halo games in classic mode. It'll make it more apparent why this franchise really is one of the greatest in Gaming history.
rose tinted glasses type beat. the remastered graphics are actually just so uncanny and bug the game out. its not hard to know that if u actually been playing halo
Nah remaster is just shit, Instead of making a proper one they just ported over assets from reach and ruined the vibe from the original. If they had put proper effort into the it I would actually recommend the remaster.
Halo is absolute cinema with peak story telling, it’s so cool seeing Dontai experience all these games for the first time, closest thing to playing it for the first time
Can’t say Xbox is useless if you out here playing Xbox games the math ain’t mathing on that one but I’m glad to see you playing my favorite game franchise. Hope you enjoy it.
Ever since he got flabergasted hearing the Halo 3 tribute ost in a random tiktok *2 years ago* I was hoping he would play these. The time has finally come.
What's sad is, no matter how much he enjoys CE Anniversary, he will never enjoy it like we did - the CEA stuffed The Flood reveal. It reduced the blood. The minimal space of the OG gave a more unique and slightly creepy vibe.
Halo Reach will change this man’s life forever
Same with ODST

To be fair I think most were calling the anniversary graphics trash and they are I only play on og graphics for a reason

for real, people hating on a 23 year old game that people STILL play to this day. it's definetely stood the test of time.
Plus the og graphics make use of better Lighting in the spooky sections, where the new graphics make everything too bright.

The fact I have been anticipating this since he played batman is crazy. 😂
I’m gonna cry thank you Dontai I begged for this for the past 4 years
I remember during the video game music tournament he said “I have no problem with Halo, just Xbox”
Dontai you will LOVE these games. I played through all of them with my homie like 2-3 years ago and man they are truly masterpieces
this is a legendary moment
Literally a dream come true! Thank you so much for giving my childhood franchise a try Dontai!
I remember Dontai reacting to the Tribute song from Halo 3 he was amazed by it. Its cool seeing him play this.
Yooo I'm so hyped to see you experience this for the first time! I found your channel on the Black Ops series and I'm staying for the Halo series. Keep up the fight!

Hopefully we get the full playthroughs at least until Halo 4 including Reach and ODST
i agree, he should honestly stop at 4
He should stop at Reach. 4 is just as trash as the last two
I love Halo!! So excited to see Dontai’s playthrough
"Xbox is a stupid console, doesn't need to be used".
Goes on to list one of the best game series of all time, exclusive to the Xbox.
Nostalgia is blinding y'all. Og graphics is pure @ss. 😂

Been waiting for this for so long
Holy crap this is amazing! Imma tell you, you are in for a wild ride! Hope you enjoy the games!
I cannot wait til you get to the rest of the games. This is so beautiful
This is the start of something Beautiful🗣

As an eternal fan of CE, it's always nice seeing a streamer give respect the cutscenes.

I love how people try shutting on Xbox but it’s honestly an all around better option than the ps5
dontai man please come back and finish i had a whole playlist going and everything 😭🙏
Been loving all the classic game playthroughs lately Dontai
This will change this man’s life
I would suggest playing og graphics, cause atmospheric moments in the game hit harder and are more intentional with the og graphics on
......Let's not talk about the show, Halo CE has such a CRAZY GOOD campaign
Dontai is literally playing all the games if my childhood. I’m so happy
I never thought I'd see Dontai play Halo, can't wait to see him play the rest of Halo, les go.
Everybody knows PlayStation players wanted Halo. Hell I left PlayStation for Halo.
