Halo wars has possibly the best Elite designs in all the Halo franchise. They look sleek and menacing without looking like the details have been overdone
@@JennaTilwertzonly real ossue with 2As is the helmets look a tad flat and boxy it's not bad a bad helmet design but it belongs on a varient of elite. The 2A rangers though I'd argue they have the best design of all elites.
We’ve gained incredible graphics but apparently have forgotten entirely how to tell a story. Or so it seems in games these days. A real shame. Miss the days when we had trailers like this and campaigns like the Halo ones.
I remember being a kid, playing Halo:CE with a friend on his original Xbox. Many years later I had an Xbox 360 of my own, and I remember seeing the commercials for Halo Wars and being super excited by the trailers and commercials, then being super super disappointed that it wasn’t an fps, but an rts lol.
More than a decade later, I'm still salty there was never a movie done on this. The gritty, realistic atmosphere would have suited the franchise really well. Instead, the games slowly started becoming more cheesy and childish
It's not like bungee would have let that happen. I mean the development of this game Bungie was throwing a massive fit that this game even existed in the first place.

Alot of people in this video are under the impression that since this was uploaded in 2009, then it must be from 2009 This trailer was unveiled in September of 2006 Thus as of this month September 2023, its 17 years old
Este video lo ponía mucho cuando tenía alrededor de 8 años y me acuerdo que mi jefa me regañaba por que era violento jejejejsjsjssj Que bonita nostalgia :,^)
That one Elite running into gunfire without weapons and immediately dying always makes me laugh. Even not having watched this trailer in so long, that scene will randomly pop into my head and elicit a giggle.
Fun fact for those who have not played it:When you play the game it will be in the background while you are on the menu Edit: while Halos iconic theme plays
2024 and I fucking miss halo there has been a series but what breaks my heart so much it doesn’t even follow the story line of the game at all 😢 I will forever remember halo it was an amazing game experience
Bro I grew up playing this as a kid I had halo 3 n 4 I was to scared to the the second mission on halo 3 so I played this instead I didn’t understand it because I was little but it was this fun and now that I can play this when I’m older is so much fun
The FX in this trailer were better than a ton of movies even ones that come out nowadays. I can't even notice the polygons. Damn Ensemble. Microsoft fucked up. Great company. Could have use them to create pre-recorded cutscenes in Halo 3 Anniversary, when it comes out, and HCEA. Combat Evolves anniversary. Damn. So good looking.
I need this version of the halo theme song it's so eerie and depressing like the last of the brave defenders falling in battle in slow motion one by one.
We need to see this sh!t in halo infinite for real. We need to see their failings and flaws, we need to feel their losses and emotions, we need to be able to relate to their feelings and actions over their lost comrades. No more of Beep Boop robot Master Cheif , we need him to show us that he actually notices the loss of troopers and friends I mean the only time he really had an emotional scene (besides with cortana) was when Sgt. Major Johnson died, and he was asked to leave him on the instillation but chief didn't even stop to simply pick up his tags. For real I love 343 but they need to fill this game with stuff like this and scenes from reach, those Spartans showed emotions. I hope 343 can get this and try to add what I said and if and when they make another trailer, I would appreciate to see one like CoD MW with the US scenes like when the soldier was pulling the wounded soldier out of the fight. Go go go 343👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾❤️❤️❤️
Okay so...the Act Man pointed out many flaws in this trailer's choreography but I think they were just going for scale more than realism. Still, amazing trailer even if it's a bit cliche.
While this is a good trailer, it kinda gets ruined when you look at the elites during the combat. 1:12 Ah yes, the old move slowly with nothing but meele weapons against a foe with ranged weapons or running at them alone, while being unarmed. Sun Tzu would be proud
I dont know what happened....I got goosebumps and then hard nipples at the same time. Not sure if it was the winter cold in the video, spartan, music or just halo itself
Aside from that structure in the background looking like the Forerunner place on Harvest from Halo Wars, none of this actually happens in the game. Omega is barely even in the game!!! They were briefly allies on Arcadia before you attack that giant energy dome thing. They leave after just one level.

Even in 2024! So hard in the paint!

I think that they're a bit too bulky personally.
Maybe in the final version but right now they look goofy.
Elite designs were much better before, elegant, fragile and lethal. 343i makes elite more like Brute, heavy and stupid beast
Not gonna lie but the energy swords in halo wars look stupid, they are WAY too wide
@@gargeely4901 honestly, you fit a whole arm between the blades.
12 years later and I still think this trailer has the best looking elites in the franchise
I agree after H2A elites. They're sp perfect in my opinion but yeah, these look awesome too

I remember when you downloaded trailers to your Xbox 360, and I remember just keeping this one and watching it because it was cool 😆
Same, along with the Halo 3 E3 '06 trailer.
Once upon a time, trailers meant something...
@@Eothr Yes! 😆 Do you remember Halo 3: Landfall too? Was like the first ever live-action Halo thing, absolutely blew pre-teen me away! 😂
@@GunterThePenguinHatesHugs Absolutely 👍
Yoooo! Yessss, I recall doing this, great stuff x3
Same
2021 still watching this trailer and those elites looked more aggressive and scarier
0:56 a lot scarier when your against entire army of Elites
This is Spartan Group Omega. If they want war... we'll give'em war.
damn right
Iran:exists
USA:
@@Amaurigameplays nice
@@Amaurigameplays lol
Goosebumps every time.. hey you got a boyfriend?
1:21 “This is Spartan Group Omega.”, “If they want war, We give them war.”
I’m genuinely scared of the elites in this trailer
They are extra thicc in this trailer, btw when can I buy one of you? It’s been almost a year and I still haven’t got one?
My PC is too old for those so I bought a series x
This trailer plus how they are in the ODST live action trailer are how they are truly meant to be perceived
@@mudkipzuzu That was a brute in the ODST trailer lmao, not an elite
they still scare me the most
Easily the most badass Marine armor in the franchise
Reachs were better
@@josephchavez1489 Hard disagree. This design is more up armored and looks futuristic. Reach's is better than 1 and 2 however.
so much detail in this even the body slides when the elite throws it
Thank you to all the developers who work on mods and play this game to keep it alive years later. I'm going to miss this game when it's gone
I remember when I was in elementary school and I watched this trailer. I was so excited, it thought it was live action because of the graphics.
Man.
Don't blame you, some of the humans look pretty real especially back in the old days.
It all came from the awesome job of Blur Studio.
One of my all time favorite trailers, absolutely incredible, captures the feel of war in the Halo universe perfectly 🙌
I remember being a kid, playing Halo:CE with a friend on his original Xbox. Many years later I had an Xbox 360 of my own, and I remember seeing the commercials for Halo Wars and being super excited by the trailers and commercials, then being super super disappointed that it wasn’t an fps, but an rts lol.
I know. Good storyline but bad way of playing it.
It was the exact same for me
I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt that way. It looked hella sick
Welp at least you have halo infinite, which probably, without halo wars 2, would leave everyone confused since the banished first appeared in HW2
I absolutely loved the RTS version of this game I wish there was large battles like this in FPS but still I throughout enjoyed the RTS mechanic
What an absolutely top notch trailer speaks to how much of a total powerhouse franchise halo is as well
The best elites character design ever!
Idk man halo 2 anniversary elites are fine af
Came back from 2024 to see this
This is one of my favorite versions of the covenant in the entire halo story
More than a decade later, I'm still salty there was never a movie done on this. The gritty, realistic atmosphere would have suited the franchise really well. Instead, the games slowly started becoming more cheesy and childish

0:35 0:38 0:41 you broke my heart dude
Bruh, this was top of my recommended in 2021? Hell yes, TH-cam knows what we gamers love!
Halo wars will be on my top 3 best Halos 🥺🤙
such an epic trailer!
Still remember watching this trailer when it first came out on youtube in it glory 240 fps and still being blown away by what i saw
It was unreal
the cutscenes in halo wars where to good for its time
Omega Team confirmed to have armour in Infinite, came back to see the boys in the glory of 2009.
I remember when this trailer just came out, I was so excited to play this game and it was damn well worth the wait
15 years ago. God damn I’m getting old.
Just realized the trailer is what’s playing in the background of the menu in the game. It’s literally been a decade lmao.
2021- still epic
You're right even I play it in 2021
This trailer still looks phenomenal, the amount of detail, you can really tell the people who made this loved the franchaise
2014 - Still epic
2015- Halo Wars 2 Confirmed
2016 still epic
+Riototeca halo wars 2 is silly you've played this very boring if that is the beta of the game but I prefer the first halo wars
2018, still epic :P
2019 still epic!!
The visuals still hold up super well
Man I wish we knew we were in the peak of video games that sought satisfying fans back in the day.

Sí 🖖

when i this this as a kid, I thought this was a movie. This is what I expect a live action adaptation of halo to be
when we thought this was an FPS game :(

@@TheSuperNuggetDude What? Bungie wanted nothing to do with this game.
@@TheSuperNuggetDude *when you thought
@@gustavoaraujopenha8463 Agreed. Was honestly really fun and different.
Elites in halo reach don't look that awesome. I want to play as one of those badass looking elites :(
Alejandro Aguilar you think those are bad, compare to those in halo 5
Terrifying
I personally think the ultra is the best looking elite, but I can agree with you on the rest
Zem elites in halo wars 1 lookin kinda THICK though
Favorite Halo trailer, Spartan group omega is just bad ass
Game still holds up
Even to this day this trailer gets me wanting to play Halo again.
This trailer has a better story than all of halo 5
Ngl this has to be the most scariest depiction of Elites, man the pure size difference, to a regular human
Este video lo ponía mucho cuando tenía alrededor de 8 años y me acuerdo que mi jefa me regañaba por que era violento jejejejsjsjssj
Que bonita nostalgia :,^)
man, we had it good
That one Elite running into gunfire without weapons and immediately dying always makes me laugh. Even not having watched this trailer in so long, that scene will randomly pop into my head and elicit a giggle.
Anyone else notice the background completely changes once the elite throws that guy?
Never noticed till you said somthing lol but it's not a big deal
This was peak gaming cinematics
After seeing the new MK4 for Infinite, I had to come back to watch this
Fue el primer Trailer de Halo que vi :,3
15 years ago😢
Look at that freaking reflection!!!!
Wish the Elites in the new show looked like these ones.
0:38 is there a soundtrack name for this part of the music in the trailer?
This 1 and a half minute animation is much better than both seasons of Halo on paramount 😂. As it's so hard to understand what we really want ....🙄
Spartan: If they want War We'll Give Them War
War Never Change
40k:There is Only War
Primarch Roboute Guilliman Lord of Ultramar
War
I remember seeing this and crying with joy at the end line they want war
My dad watched it on the trailer at the basement at our old house with me when I was a little girl.
Some of the greatest hope has come to me through trailers I watched as a kid in the basement
1:12
"So wheres my gun?"
"Lmfao just clobber them you fucking pudding boy"
Even this trailer is better than the Halo series xD
i got chills when i saw the elites and at the end when i saw the xbox 360 ending theme
