why paramount's shity show did not fo well was partly becuase theactors did not like halo andbecauseparamount is just out for money now days not out to give fans what they want unfortunately
This film, is truly remarkable for the story, and limited budget. Having said that, it's Brilliant. I have not enjoyed, a Halo, EP. For a long time. When that actor removed his helmet, I was shocked, and stopped my subscription. Been like that ever since. However this mini-film, is technically great storyline brilliant and good. Think what, they could do, if'n they had more funds. 🤔
The multi-million dollar studio is all about making profit. Cutting corners and creating boring soap operas in an attempt to maximize profits. It's like that with basically every studio these days.
It just blows me away that “ Amateurs” can put together fan films of this intense quality!! I’m 65 so I won’t see it, but the giant studios are going the way of the dinosaurs. I see a time when “ labor of love “ films will be the norm.
Thank you for the open minded and complimentary comment. If you want to see (in my opinion) the pinnacle of what a single person (yes... a _single_ person. One. Solo.) can do... Check out *"Astartes"* if you haven't. It's here on TH-cam. It's all CGI, and this quality is not the norm (yet) but it's a "must watch".
I've been saying something similar for years. Before we get to that point, i think we're gonna start seeing fans re edit big budget movies that were considered disappointing.

This is what the halo community is. Sure, there are always people complaining over the newest game, but we are also people doing what we love, and coming together to make an amazing experience together. Great work!
I dont know about other scifi universes but Halo, ive noticed something unique about the fandom. They produce quality material thats connected to the lore, this makes halo infinite
Cortana: "Halo... it's finished." Master Chief: "No, I think we're just getting started." Halo has turned into something bigger than even Jason Jones ever imagined. Fans who create these fan films guarantee that this franchise will never die. The game might... but the lore will continue. Well done.
How come we don’t see French, Germans, Russians, Hispanics (well Hispanics are always in the U.S. Army), and Chinese fighting Earth’s enemies? Has the U.S. conquered the World finally and now they want to conquer the Universe?
There was gonna be a Halo 5 ODST game or something along of the lines but it was scrapped before they started working on it because 343i realized if they worked on Halo 5 ODST and Halo Infinite all at once both games would do terrible since there would be too much stress on the development teams and they would be unable to reach their deadline with a fully complete game.

@@BotBruh448 you forgot about Halo Nightfall with Mike Colter from the Luke Cage TV series that was a big budget film you can see it right here on TH-cam I was kind of disappointed
I, being a big halo fan since the Bungie days, find this to be one, if not the best fan made films regarding Halo. The creators of this film did their research and made an epic film. Keep up the good work.
This scrub number straight up just jumped in front of a Scarab all by his lonesome and expected to be able to buy the Pelican time to escape, what a doof. If this film weren't so great I wouldn't have enjoyed the cheesy Master Chief and Cortana moment with Rosetta remembering her real name. Y'all started this back in 2010? I'm baffled and incredibly impressed by your guys' drive and will to complete this. Everything was awesome. I was trying to be critical throughout the whole film to try and find any moments where something looked off, but everything was spot-fucking-on. Like, I"m genuinely amazed with the work, detail, and dedication you put into this.
would have been funny if the scarab just ignored him and shot the pelican still, then the lone dude is just standing there thinking "what the fuck was i thinking?" right as he gets stepped on by the scarab lol
If that isn't sarcasm, what I meant was in the moment when Rosetta remembered her name it reminded me of the cheesy moments between Chief and Cortana in the games, like when Cortana said "When this is all over, promise me you'll figure out who's the machine" or "Don't make a girl a promise if you know you can't keep it."

This was brilliantly done guys! I cringed a little bit at the ‘kneeling in front of the scarab’ scene but that’s about it. The rest was really good for a fan film! Just makes you wonder what the big production companies could accomplish for Halo fans if all the politics didn’t get in the way.
I think the only reason he was kneeling was because he was just trying to buy the pilot time to take off, he knew he wasn’t gonna be able to do anything against the Scarab.
Tbh it's hard to see how else it would have been resolved, and also he had a realistic reaction to the effect although the act of going for it was odd. But honestly it was so well executed I actually got this scene and I loved it.
The acting is great, the props are freaking incredible and the special effects are amazing. Amazon should be taking notes. This is one of the best fan films i've ever seen. It's nearly as good as Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
HOLY WORT WORT WORT. I can honestly say that all the effort that you put on this film, was worth. I've seen some other fan films but yours is exceptional. The CGI was amazing. I truly did not expect the Scarab to appear, on other films they recycle battle scenes/covenant animations or the even use ships that are not from the Halo Universe. I just want to say, thank you for theses 33 minutes, I really hope that if 343 launches the Halo TV Serie, they could achieve a quality like yours, THANK YOU GUYS, CONGRATS!!!!
I absolutely LOVE how you focused this around ODSTs instead of SPARTANs. It's awesome to think that at the end of the day, ODSTs are still unaugmented humans and embark on suicide ops while SPARTANs are expected to come home more often than ODSTs to continue the fight. Great work replicating that atmosphere throughout the film! Edit: clarification
@@recklesssquirel5962 Clarified what I meant. I know SPARTANs (primarily 3s and sometimes 2s) were sent, but ODSTs are much more likely to die on said missions then SPARTANs.
Why is it always that fan-made films are what the people enjoy and want to see more of? Because the people who made them put their heart and soul into their work and it's beautifull. Hollywood got nothing on these lads.
I don’t know why this even got one thumbs down, it does say ‘fan made’ and this was so freaken good. Seriously the acting was great, the special effects were good, better than some movies these days, I tip my hat to them
How are there people disliking this video? It's a fan made film. For the people who disliked this video, what have you made yourself that was this good? Congrats guys! Nice job!
I’m really glad to see this masterpiece. Halo fans are the only people how really appreciate this franchise, please don’t watch the garbage Paramount’s tv show, I didn’t and I won’t, they only care about money, and never wanted to bring us a good history.
I mean not the best quality and we didnt get to see any real fighting but the dedication put into this film is great!!!! If only a huge amount of funding could be put into halo movie with a great visionary style like this one.
There was an attempt made at a halo movie but went under due to funding all props were then sold to what u now know as the avatar movie hmmm don't those hornets look like hornets from halo lol but ya millions over budget but then u get random groups like u who can put out a fucking masterpiece what is wrong with Hollywood bunch of fakes filling in for ppl like u thanks again for the real halo movie 10/10
How is this better than the show, and the show had a 10 million dollar per episode? Oh, I can tell you the answer. Passion. These guys had more passion and respect for Halo than the entire Halo series leadership and 99% of the cast.
Enjoyed this immensely. Thank you for the ride. Now for Part 2 "The Relic". I look forward to the next battle. We will do battle! We will win the Peace!
The suits the weapons the sounds the CGI animation everything is so amazing the lightning shadows and helmets and the Details in every single thing is so amazing i wish there will be more its awesome keep it up the work
Great film, but there are a couple problems with the... lore I guess, for one thing A.I’s always know where they came from and they never had another name before. And for number two, if it was such a important mission then why only send 2 ODST’s and a couple of marines? It would have made more sense to send say a team of Spartans or a whole battalion of ODST’s. But over all great film and the special effects were AMAZING!!!!!!! I do hope that you continue to make more (definitely a sequel) Oh and the Scarab would have been shooting the Pelican the whole time it had line of sight, when everyone stepped in side the Pelican everyone would have been dead before I could say Grunt Birthday Party!!! I’m not saying it’s a bad film, I’m just giving constructive criticism on what doesn’t match up
You kind've have to suspend disbelief on the second point. It's a fan project, so they only have so many people to work with. And if they were Spartans I don't think it would make sense if they weren't already used to working with AIs.
Considering Bungie themselves even retconned the lore for the purpose of making the game fun, it really doesn’t matter much, but more people telling exactly what they should fix instead of calling it cringeworthy is helpful.
@OneTEXASGAMER Spartans can't be deployed at random. Assets such as Spartans have more "prestigious" directives ex: Red Flag, Trebuchet, First Strike, etc. Not to mention Noble team at this time are at Sword Base reclaiming it. Gauntlet, Red(IIIs), Echo took heavy casualties with only one possible known exception to still be alive. Blue Team (John, Linda, James, would be off planet and James would be M.I.A and John and Linda are leaving Reach heading on random vectors to 04. Red Team (IIs) would be at Castle Base by now severely wounded and lost contact.
Not all AI know who they were before black box or bb from the kilo 5 books doesnt know who he was before. I dont know if he ever does I'm reading the last book now.
wow it's been 4 years andi can say i found this in recomended and i loved every bit of it, the funny thing is i want more but thats how it goes when someone does a good fan film or a good movie 15/10 great job sir on making this 😊😉
Congrats on the premiere. Best fan film I’ve seen. I enjoyed this more then Nightfall!! I think big production companies should take note. You guys did this with nothing! Amazing job
Delta Charlie Props nightfall ignored the lore >_> “durrr it’s part of Installation 04! It entered slipspace despite having no operational systems hurrdeehurr!” That flies in the face of the lore completely... This movie though? Sure the effects are B-grade tier, but holy shit do they not disappoint... there’s a couple of times where the effects are less than stellar but it’s a fan film so it’s on the same level comparatively as say... the effects in Infinity War xD
I would actually love to play a halo game where you can be a marine for a while, just so we could understand what it would be like to defend a planet from a single units point of view. I think ODST did a fairly good job of this. But a marine story would be better since most squads died defending humanity and it would reflect the impossible odds presented by the covenant a bit more. I think it would be equally good if it wasn't a hero saves the day kind of story.
iirc, humans actually kicked a lot of ass, killed swarms of covenant, they just got overran eventually because they were outnumbered 10,000 to 1 it seems. the average marines killed shitloads of grunts and jackals and even a good number of elites. most ended up dying because they ran out of ammo.
I’ve always wanted a halo game where you play as a marine against the insurrectionists. Then the final mission or two is the battle of harvest where the difficulty gets ramped up to 11 as you have first contact with the covenant.
Damn, this was great! It's not perfect, but I can really feel the passion for the franchise watching this. This is way better than anything Bungie/343 has produced. I really hope some day we (the fans) can get a big budget movie. There's so much lore to explore. Thanks for reminding me why I love this game & community. ❤️
The story was definitely influenced by the budget and what they had available to them. IE no actual covenant. I bet they only had 1 ODST suit so that's why the other dude dies.
Fantastic work! I'd like to see a prequel, detailing what happened with the previous AI. Would be cool to see Riley and James having to cope with a rogue AI whilst also trying to complete their mission.
Excellent. My son has been a huge Halo devotee for many years. Uh, MANY years. On the few times that I foolishly tried to play against him he kicked my ass. This is a great show.
I find it funny how due to paramount's failure with the handling of the halo tv show and the countless clips critizing the show, that the algorithm has added this short film to our recommended list. it brought fans to something that shows an actual attempt at capturing the halo feeling and tone, and the creators of this earns every bit of the love even after 3 years.
It's been my assessment that every fan-made video trumps Paramount's dumpsterfire because at least the fans appreciate the source material.
Agreed
They fill the ODST hole that Bungie left for us

I think the only reason he was kneeling was because he was just trying to buy the pilot time to take off, he knew he wasn’t gonna be able to do anything against the Scarab.
The music was awesome during the scarab scene , but ya agreed.
Tbh it's hard to see how else it would have been resolved, and also he had a realistic reaction to the effect although the act of going for it was odd. But honestly it was so well executed I actually got this scene and I loved it.
I don't know what everyone else is talking about this halo fan film was great. It really shows haw evil the cavnent really was.
The acting is great, the props are freaking incredible and the special effects are amazing. Amazon should be taking notes. This is one of the best fan films i've ever seen. It's nearly as good as Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
HOLY WORT WORT WORT. I can honestly say that all the effort that you put on this film, was worth. I've seen some other fan films but yours is exceptional. The CGI was amazing. I truly did not expect the Scarab to appear, on other films they recycle battle scenes/covenant animations or the even use ships that are not from the Halo Universe. I just want to say, thank you for theses 33 minutes, I really hope that if 343 launches the Halo TV Serie, they could achieve a quality like yours, THANK YOU GUYS, CONGRATS!!!!
Gianilamuelas Holy go go go?
Legend405 clan "Go go go" but backwards 💀
Gianilamuelas I agree it's pretty good!
I absolutely LOVE how you focused this around ODSTs instead of SPARTANs. It's awesome to think that at the end of the day, ODSTs are still unaugmented humans and embark on suicide ops while SPARTANs are expected to come home more often than ODSTs to continue the fight. Great work replicating that atmosphere throughout the film!
Edit: clarification
Connor S Soartan-3s were sent on suicide missions usually.
Spartans were sent on more suicidal missions then ODST Oni sent thousands just to die
Dude. Spartans were literally cannon fodder. They weren't expected to come back ever. If they did guess what? Another suicide mission until they died
@@recklesssquirel5962 Clarified what I meant. I know SPARTANs (primarily 3s and sometimes 2s) were sent, but ODSTs are much more likely to die on said missions then SPARTANs.
@@ConnorCrispy can you tell me of any mission that either the ODSTs or Spartans weren't expected to die but simply too stubborn to do so?
For a fan made, with probably a tight budget this is class
Absolutely agreed
I know it's been a year, I'm watching this again and you guys still have my crying like a baby. "Good Job"!!!😭🤧
I expected this to be shit.
It was not.
Good Job.
Well said yellow
Expectations subverted!
_"Expectations subverted!"_
Subversions expected?
Bet
Why is it always that fan-made films are what the people enjoy and want to see more of? Because the people who made them put their heart and soul into their work and it's beautifull. Hollywood got nothing on these lads.
I don’t know why this even got one thumbs down, it does say ‘fan made’ and this was so freaken good. Seriously the acting was great, the special effects were good, better than some movies these days, I tip my hat to them
FAN MADE AND ALREADY BETTER THEN THE HALO TV SERIES!
It warms my heart knowing that to this day people are still dedicated to halo thank you thank you very much and keep on believing
Reach events inspiring film makers to create amazing projects like this, THANK YOU GUYS!
I would like to know the budget of this, cause this was incredible from the CGI to the costumes and the acting, amazing
How are there people disliking this video? It's a fan made film. For the people who disliked this video, what have you made yourself that was this good? Congrats guys! Nice job!
Halo Reach 2: Dawn Under Heaven
That's sound Good!
Halo ODST 2 Dawn Under Heaven
Halo Reach: ODST
An odst short film
Except for the part where reach was destroyed in reach 1. Lol
This movie should have an official release on the big screen. It is as good as a movie made out of any Halo novel.
I’m really glad to see this masterpiece. Halo fans are the only people how really appreciate this franchise, please don’t watch the garbage Paramount’s tv show, I didn’t and I won’t, they only care about money, and never wanted to bring us a good history.
I mean not the best quality and we didnt get to see any real fighting but the dedication put into this film is great!!!! If only a huge amount of funding could be put into halo movie with a great visionary style like this one.
"When the fans make a better movie then the original owners"
I know right this was awesome
There isn’t an original film tbh.
Bungie never made a film 343 did but that was okay not to shabby
There was an attempt made at a halo movie but went under due to funding all props were then sold to what u now know as the avatar movie hmmm don't those hornets look like hornets from halo lol but ya millions over budget but then u get random groups like u who can put out a fucking masterpiece what is wrong with Hollywood bunch of fakes filling in for ppl like u thanks again for the real halo movie 10/10
Than*
This would be 100 times better than the freaking halo tv series. I would watch this all-day
This is Actually better than 95% of Films on Netflix
Well Done Guys!
How is this better than the show, and the show had a 10 million dollar per episode? Oh, I can tell you the answer.
Passion. These guys had more passion and respect for Halo than the entire Halo series leadership and 99% of the cast.
Gracias por los subtítulos es una excelente película,its amazing ,good job
Yo traduje su español. I am translating what was said. 'Thank you for the subtitles, it is an excellent movie.'
Gracias :)
Jajajajajaja vale madre, yo la ví subtitulada en inglés generado automáticamente. No pensé que estuviera en español :(
El Convenio, está genial wtf!!!!
@T-Rex T-20 Simón
Esta es toda la peli o es algo asi como un adelanto? O va por capítulos? Digo si pueden decirme.
I hope they end up boarding the autumn
I hope not, that only mean they are dead.
@@diosbatman exactly
lol
I hope you end up boarding the autumn
@@cosmicderringer1824 same
Wow, this is so much better than most movies out now. Kudos to everyone involved!
Enjoyed this immensely.
Thank you for the ride.
Now for Part 2
"The Relic".
I look forward to the next battle.
We will do battle!
We will win the Peace!
*How Many Times Should We Make Them Salute?: YES*
*_love for halo intensifies_*
The suits the weapons the sounds the CGI animation everything is so amazing the lightning shadows and helmets and the Details in every single thing is so amazing i wish there will be more its awesome keep it up the work
the marines' helmets were waaaay too small
Great film, but there are a couple problems with the... lore I guess, for one thing A.I’s always know where they came from and they never had another name before. And for number two, if it was such a important mission then why only send 2 ODST’s and a couple of marines? It would have made more sense to send say a team of Spartans or a whole battalion of ODST’s. But over all great film and the special effects were AMAZING!!!!!!! I do hope that you continue to make more (definitely a sequel)
Oh and the Scarab would have been shooting the Pelican the whole time it had line of sight, when everyone stepped in side the Pelican everyone would have been dead before I could say Grunt Birthday Party!!!
I’m not saying it’s a bad film, I’m just giving constructive criticism on what doesn’t match up
Oh yeah yeah
You kind've have to suspend disbelief on the second point. It's a fan project, so they only have so many people to work with. And if they were Spartans I don't think it would make sense if they weren't already used to working with AIs.
Considering Bungie themselves even retconned the lore for the purpose of making the game fun, it really doesn’t matter much, but more people telling exactly what they should fix instead of calling it cringeworthy is helpful.
@OneTEXASGAMER Spartans can't be deployed at random. Assets such as Spartans have more "prestigious" directives ex: Red Flag, Trebuchet, First Strike, etc. Not to mention Noble team at this time are at Sword Base reclaiming it. Gauntlet, Red(IIIs), Echo took heavy casualties with only one possible known exception to still be alive. Blue Team (John, Linda, James, would be off planet and James would be M.I.A and John and Linda are leaving Reach heading on random vectors to 04. Red Team (IIs) would be at Castle Base by now severely wounded and lost contact.
Not all AI know who they were before black box or bb from the kilo 5 books doesnt know who he was before. I dont know if he ever does I'm reading the last book now.
wow it's been 4 years andi can say i found this in recomended and i loved every bit of it, the funny thing is i want more but thats how it goes when someone does a good fan film or a good movie 15/10 great job sir on making this 😊😉
infinitely better than the official TV show
Congrats on the premiere. Best fan film I’ve seen. I enjoyed this more then Nightfall!! I think big production companies should take note. You guys did this with nothing! Amazing job
Delta Charlie Props nightfall ignored the lore >_> “durrr it’s part of Installation 04! It entered slipspace despite having no operational systems hurrdeehurr!”
That flies in the face of the lore completely...
This movie though? Sure the effects are B-grade tier, but holy shit do they not disappoint... there’s a couple of times where the effects are less than stellar but it’s a fan film so it’s on the same level comparatively as say... the effects in Infinity War xD
It’s amazing what you can do with little resources but you a have a passion for what is being created
@@JMAN-pg4tg Creation. That is a concept of what Halo *is.*
Nightfall lol
This is some dedication
I would actually love to play a halo game where you can be a marine for a while, just so we could understand what it would be like to defend a planet from a single units point of view. I think ODST did a fairly good job of this. But a marine story would be better since most squads died defending humanity and it would reflect the impossible odds presented by the covenant a bit more. I think it would be equally good if it wasn't a hero saves the day kind of story.
iirc, humans actually kicked a lot of ass, killed swarms of covenant, they just got overran eventually because they were outnumbered 10,000 to 1 it seems. the average marines killed shitloads of grunts and jackals and even a good number of elites. most ended up dying because they ran out of ammo.
@@alphawolfgang173 dude that is completely wrong elites could take on Spartans grunts makes sense but jackals were snipers and hella good at it
If you have Reach firefight you can put settings on that make you like a Marine. No shields, low health, low melee damage, low jump height, low speed
@@droneant7602 plot armour and I'd assume the marine fought a minor not zealot or general
I’ve always wanted a halo game where you play as a marine against the insurrectionists. Then the final mission or two is the battle of harvest where the difficulty gets ramped up to 11 as you have first contact with the covenant.
Dang it 343, just give these guys 10 grand to make your Halo TV show, it'll be better than any crap Paramount minus can chuck out.
My God, this is one of the best, if not THE best fan films ever. Thank you so much for this.
Impressive. Great job. Good luck with Netflix. You made a great movie. Really enjoyed this.
Damn, this was great! It's not perfect, but I can really feel the passion for the franchise watching this. This is way better than anything Bungie/343 has produced. I really hope some day we (the fans) can get a big budget movie. There's so much lore to explore. Thanks for reminding me why I love this game & community. ❤️
This is absolutely magnificent. The best part about the Halo fanbase is the passion we have for the series.
"helljumper helljumper..."
You again! You're every where!
Wait wtf? I THOUGHT YOU ONLY COMMENTED ON ANIME RELATED VIDS! I didn't know you were a fan of Halo too! Nice! :D
Captain Kenneth: "We got the dawn watching our heads."
The Covenant, through a fresh hull breach: "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?"
This is just pure gold...
Personally I wasnt a fan of the story but I was very impressed with the props and art for being fan made.
The story was definitely influenced by the budget and what they had available to them. IE no actual covenant. I bet they only had 1 ODST suit so that's why the other dude dies.
LucefieD yea imagine if this had the budget of a marvel film
The pants were a little triggering on the ODST not full armor but definitely better than Nightfall. Very impressive
I wished I could have known about this fan film sooner
It came out today so you're fine on that front.
Great work
Fantastic work!
I'd like to see a prequel, detailing what happened with the previous AI. Would be cool to see Riley and James having to cope with a rogue AI whilst also trying to complete their mission.
Wow… great story.. great fan film.. wish we had a series like this 😢
Truly a masterpiece for a fan film. You guys really have a talent
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for putting this together.
It's incredibly inspiring to see halo fans do what they do best!
“Were it so easy..”
Excellent job guys. A huge thank you from a huge halo fan.
Normally im not a fan of Halo fan films because i find them cheesy but props to you guys on this film, i enjoyed every second!!
This is the result of true love and passion for the lore. Hollywood would not get it right as they did.
As a Halo fan: this was pretty good.
As a filmmaker, I must ask: what was the budget for this?
Does it matter it had better effects and better acting somehow then the last jedi.
@@Alpha-106 LOL
thats for certain.
They had about tree fidy.
I do believe this could have been way better by just moving the cast members into different positions.
@@Alpha-106 better effects than the last jedi what movie did you watch 😂 as it looked incredible no matter what your opinion is on the story
This will be on my list of best fan films I have had the pleasure of watching! Great job, hope you guys don't stop with just the one.
Thank you dawn, very cool.
Great Job! You make me hope about future Halo Films
This is an absolute master piece for a fan halo film. Keep it up with the good work, and I hope to see more things like this in the future.
Glad I saw this in my recommended
This felt more HALO than the Halo Nightfall series...
Knightfall was a disappointment it was like having sex with stormy Daniel, but 3 minutes in and you get limp LOL
@@charlesneely at least we got a cool helmet in halo 5
Halo night fall was remarkably shit .
Nightfall had the budget but it wat the director of it is why it failed... Like most bad movies. . .
@@Bushwhackerdk I use the nightfall armor with the Mark VI Gen 1 helmet
I'm really glad this was in my recommended
Very well done for fan made film. Kuddos to the guys and gals of this project!!
Excellent. My son has been a huge Halo devotee for many years. Uh, MANY years. On the few times that I foolishly tried to play against him he kicked my ass. This is a great show.
