The year is 2007. You're sitting at home with your Dualshock 3, playing Uncharted. You consider your PS3 to be the best console ever released. You smile as you fire up Killzone. Life is good. Then this comes up on your TV.
"Chief told me once, that no soldier should be honored for doing what is expected." "Do you believe that?" "I did, and I still do." Spartans never die, their just missing in action....
Seeing all these comments from 15 years ago is crazy. I was just a kid, coming home from school to play Halo 3 on release day. I remember watching all these in my xbox 360 dashboard. Man, times were simpler.
Unlike other youtubers, I will admit my fault, when he said "there was a ceremony 5 years ago" I thought he was referring to the ceremony at the end of halo 3. I didn't notice in the intro it says 43 years.
This is a pretty great video. The scars are a nice touch, and the fact that they could find elderly actors to say words like "Brutes" or "Master Chief" or "We call it the Spiker". That's pretty impressive.
In case you still care it was outside the town of Voi near what was originally believed to be the Ark but discovered to be a forerunner portal. There was fighting along Tsavo Highway and around the perimeter of the portal after the destruction of "Crow's Nest" as the remainder of the UNSC navy prepared to destroy the key ship in order to prevent the Covenant from from activating the Halo array. And then the Flood showed up and reminded everyone why the rings existed.
i love these videos, they actually make the game look serious and have some meaning to it(besides the "i have a gun, im gunna kill" one many of us love) and i so want that music that they play
Okay something has struck my curiosity. Remember in halo 3 the had all those commercials about remembering the chief, and like believe. Well I notice on one of them they interview Lt.Niraj Shah and his active duty dates were from 2548-2573. As I recall wasn't halo 4 in 2557? In that interview they mention a funeral for the chief and how he said "no solider should be honored for doing what's expected." Curious is it possible that the cheif will finally die (Mia) or will there be another battle on earth?? Serious if you think about it. Feel like I'm the only one that has noticed that. Just wait oni is gonna show up at my front door tomorrow. Haha
Comair485 all im ganna say is. i hope 343 doesnt fuck up the timeline after what Bungie left behind here. specailly these videos of the old man. i sware everytime i talk to people. no one knows of the old man. its like 343 doesnt want anything to do with the future of that time period.
Well, there was a cover-up by ONI to hide the knowledge of the Ark and the Forerunners, the fact that they don't have a body, because they literally don't have one, however ONI invented the fictional "Second Battle of New Mombasa" to cover this up.
man i have watched all 5 of these little tv spots and all the stories of how they fought when death was unstopable on the grounds just becuase the master chief was there really makes you think about never giving up hope no matter what happens
Just to make it clear, Noble team spartans were a part of the spartan 3 alpha company that that guy in ghosts of onyx took them in because of their exceptional training scores so they replaced the armor with more upgraded spartan II armor. Jorge is an exception because he is a Spartan II. Thats how it goes
At the legendary ending, it shows Master Chief floating toward some planet in a cryo tube in an unknown time in the future. He shall return... He shall return!
death...dying Spartans...its making me cry. i know i should be afraid. but I'm not. because of the voice. the voice in my head. it says not to worry. it says no harm will come to him... ...and that one day he'll return. I WANT TO BELIEVE.
Makes me wonder about that mysterious planet at the end. And the music that just ended it like, "Hey there could be more." Either way we will always remember you Chief! I'm sure he'll kick everyones but on that planet with/or without us.
These actors, the whole crew, must be from the heart halo fans. I noticed the actors thumb shaking as he clinched the sniper shell. You can see how seriously he takes his acting role, as if it were actualy true. I no longer need to imagine it.
Reach was a highly secure UNSC base, almost as well defended as Earth. It was where the Pillar of Autumn launched from on its course to Halo. It's also where the final Spartans fell, according to the games.
@Ratkill9000 The SRS99D S2AM Sniper rifle uses the 14.5x114mm round. This particular weapon was made by Misriah armories, just ONE arms company mentioned in the series. I am quite confident that other sniper rifles exist that fire a fifty caliber shot.
Linda was put ino a cryo tube, and jetted into space above halo before the pillar of autumn crashed. When chief escaped the halo ring he found her cryo pod with some others and took them with him. although her injuries were grave they did save her and she was put back into active combat. She is still alive with the other remaining spartans (aside from john) inside of the micro-dyson sphere.
@unknowvirues88i that's great they also mentioned that in the halo "REACH" trailer he says "Spartans don't die, George, They're just Missing in Action"
The funny thing is, they made these commercials without knowing the end of Halo 3. They got the ceremony part right, but he didn't die (though they don't know that) and there was no coffin. Even the area looks like the same place.
@EnvyMyPower exactly. All soldiers should be honored. True, those who go above and beyond should be honored more which is why they have medals. But all soldiers should be honored.
you read the stories he is enlisted under Navy. The whole Spartan Project was under the Navy. Almost like Spartans being US Navy seals and ODSTs being USMC Force Recon.
If they made a mocumentry on this, I think it would be fantastic, these Halo 3 "believe" commercials are just so believable to a real life event such as WW2.
yea at the end when whats his name says "its hard to believe he's dead" the arbiter replys "worried so easy" or maybe its "were it so easy" which ever one it is he is still saying he's alive.
@Halo1138 the only way it could be a .50 caliber round is from the Light Anti-Air gun on the back of a Warthog (12.7x99mm). They said it was a casing from a sniper rifle and that uses a 14.5x114mm Russian round.
i think when they're talking about his grave, they mean the monument-thing you see in the final cutscene. after all, they do assume hes dead since he didnt make it back to earth
I think hes referring to one of those cutscenes at the end of halo 3, when they have that tribute to the fallen soldiers and all that has the marking "117" on it, and the legendary spartan warriors of greek mythology.
"No soldier should be honored for what is expected" i find that to be fairly true, Though they should be honored for volunteering to do what is expected.
If your talking about that cool short then those were Brutes with Spikers, shooting spikes at the marines. I think, for the budget they had of very little, they did an amazing job. Just think Transformers quality for Covenant... I would be blown away.
I lean towards this "Believe" ViDoc as the best of them all because, aside from the Enemy Weapon, it has the most emotional pull imo. If Bungie and a good hand full of Producers and a spectacular Director (Danny Boyle really popped into my mind here) pieced together these docs and brought the Halo universe alive in a trilogy, this could be a great one (hoping along the lines of LotR trilogy).
this video is another reason why microsoft and bungi finally stop fighting and make the dam halo movie, this video is so heart touching and sad, it makes u wonder when humanity will stop all this fighting and come to peace and make a monument dedicated to everyone who has died because of war and foolishness.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Never Forget Reach.
@EnvyMyPower What I mean to imply, sir, is that EVERYONE who answers the call should be honored. From the most accomplished Spec Ops soldier to the newest recruit of the Coast Guard.
how the spartans trained has always been a model for how certain special forces train today, the SAS takes some of the spartan tests to use in there own, although they made them slightly less barbaric
Looks like someone ether never read the books or doesn't get their facts straight before answering. The spartans IIIs had absolutely no contact with spartan IIs before the incident at Onyx besides with Kurt. The Alpha generation was wiped out on a mission, and same goes for Beta. The only two that survived were picked to train Gamma (a group of teens) at Onyx. No Spartan III ever set foot on Reach, because ONI wouldn't risk having the project leaked. And it's confirmed that Noble team are IIIs.
actually certain spartan 3.0's where given prototype energy shielded armor and sent in two man teams to do difficult missions. it was called project headhunters. it is very likely that noble team where at one time members of project headhunter and then later where combined into a full spartan squad rather then two man teams. halo reach barely breaks cannon especially if you have an imagination.
He actually said "No soldier should be honored for doing his job" which is just Master Chief's kick-ass way of saying that he just does what's expected. It's by no means dishonoring to veterans. It'd be the same as him saying "It's just a job"
The year is 2007. You're sitting at home with your Dualshock 3, playing Uncharted. You consider your PS3 to be the best console ever released. You smile as you fire up Killzone. Life is good. Then this comes up on your TV.
"Chief told me once, that no soldier should be honored for doing what's expected."
Now that just makes me honor Chief all the more!
These adverts are probably among the best I've seen for anything, ever. They're all so original and well-scripted
"Chief told me once, that no soldier should be honored for doing what is expected."
"Do you believe that?"
"I did, and I still do."
Spartans never die, their just missing in action....
halo always had THE best commerials
Seeing all these comments from 15 years ago is crazy. I was just a kid, coming home from school to play Halo 3 on release day. I remember watching all these in my xbox 360 dashboard. Man, times were simpler.

what intro
9 years later, but same lol.
This is a pretty great video. The scars are a nice touch, and the fact that they could find elderly actors to say words like "Brutes" or "Master Chief" or "We call it the Spiker". That's pretty impressive.
Hahaha fr 😂 it’s like my grandpa that can’t even send a text message now training him to say video game lingo
"Rated M for Mature"
Dude, I get tears in my eyes at the end of these mini-movies.
I hope they will hurry with the movie.
😢

Imagine the reaction of everyone when Masterchief arrives just in time to save the day in Halo 4!
It'll be a Gordon Freeman moment for sure!
i love these videos, they actually make the game look serious and have some meaning to it(besides the "i have a gun, im gunna kill" one many of us love)
and i so want that music that they play
this my FAV of these trailers
Y'know what? It still might. They never said Chief's date of going MIA.
Big shock...I have never played HALO but...every time I see this part of this ad campaign I get chills...every time!!!
Okay something has struck my curiosity. Remember in halo 3 the had all those commercials about remembering the chief, and like believe.

@@tommyvercetti9974 yeah about that....
But infinite actually does looks like it'll set things right
"I did, and I still do"
Awsome line.
Dam I always get a chill watching halo vids
Well, there was a cover-up by ONI to hide the knowledge of the Ark and the Forerunners, the fact that they don't have a body, because they literally don't have one, however ONI invented the fictional "Second Battle of New Mombasa" to cover this up.
Halo 3 is six years old? What the hell happened to the time?
DRajtify 10 now
Jose Lastname 11 now
This comment is six years old. Still we Believe.
This comment is six years old? What the hell happened to the time?
@@DeeperWithDiego man...
"wake me, when you need me"
One of the best ads I've ever seen.
hopefully, there will be a pt. 4, if you've seen the ending after the credits it's a possibility
He's still floating around, waiting for rescue. epic.
man i have watched all 5 of these little tv spots and all the stories of how they fought when death was unstopable on the grounds just becuase the master chief was there really makes you think about never giving up hope no matter what happens

This commercial is one of my faves and I also think it hints to a movie with Chuck Norris.
Missing in Action: Roundhouse Kicks Evolved.
At the legendary ending, it shows Master Chief floating toward some planet in a cryo tube in an unknown time in the future. He shall return... He shall return!
its amazeing how well they put together these commercials...makes you believe it happened.
cool thing bungie's got so many tough ol' men running for commercials :D they made it a novel idea
death...dying Spartans...its making me cry. i know i should be afraid.
but I'm not.
because of the voice.
the voice in my head.
it says not to worry.
it says no harm will come to him...
...and that one day he'll return.
I WANT TO BELIEVE.
Makes me wonder about that mysterious planet at the end. And the music that just ended it like, "Hey there could be more." Either way we will always remember you Chief! I'm sure he'll kick everyones but on that planet with/or without us.

I no longer need to imagine it.
wow what an original concept to have 90sec ad's to promote such a fantastic game.
These inventors sure are incredibly talented!
Thanks for the vid!
"Halo: Reach" is based before all the human's outer colonies fell and so it couldnt continue from wher Halo 3 left off.
At the end of the game on Legendary you can see that he is kept in hibernation on the ship, "until he's needed again."
Reach was a highly secure UNSC base, almost as well defended as Earth. It was where the Pillar of Autumn launched from on its course to Halo. It's also where the final Spartans fell, according to the games.
@Ratkill9000 The SRS99D S2AM Sniper rifle uses the 14.5x114mm round. This particular weapon was made by Misriah armories, just ONE arms company mentioned in the series. I am quite confident that other sniper rifles exist that fire a fifty caliber shot.

i reallyx1000000 love these short commercial whatevers of halo. damn it. its just the best.
@unknowvirues88i that's great they also mentioned that in the halo "REACH" trailer he says "Spartans don't die, George, They're just Missing in Action"
my favorite believe trailer :o
The funny thing is, they made these commercials without knowing the end of Halo 3. They got the ceremony part right, but he didn't die (though they don't know that) and there was no coffin. Even the area looks like the same place.
@EnvyMyPower exactly. All soldiers should be honored. True, those who go above and beyond should be honored more which is why they have medals. But all soldiers should be honored.
I think it's really cool how they made all these videos.
sweet, good to hear, good to hear...
Well it's been a pleasure.
I bid thee farewell and a fair life.
Spartans never die Jorge, their just Missing in Action.
like commander carter said
"spartans never die jorge, they're just missing in action"
yes it has and may the years be kind to you goodbye my friend
you read the stories he is enlisted under Navy. The whole Spartan Project was under the Navy. Almost like Spartans being US Navy seals and ODSTs being USMC Force Recon.
If they made a mocumentry on this, I think it would be fantastic, these Halo 3 "believe" commercials are just so believable to a real life event such as WW2.
yea at the end when whats his name says "its hard to believe he's dead" the arbiter replys "worried so easy" or maybe its "were it so easy" which ever one it is he is still saying he's alive.
They also say it to make it sound more tragic/sad, and then a surprise when u find out MC not the last Spartan left.
he's just asleep, when they need him again, he'll awaken.
If the Halo movie was like all of the commercials and used the District 9 director like originally intended, it would have been HUGE!
@Halo1138 the only way it could be a .50 caliber round is from the Light Anti-Air gun on the back of a Warthog (12.7x99mm). They said it was a casing from a sniper rifle and that uses a 14.5x114mm Russian round.
i love how they make halo look like it was an real event
if you beat the game on Legendary and watch the special movie clip at the end of the credits you'll see why they didn't find a body
@EnvyMyPower Soldiers should be honored for doing what is expected.
@HokutenKnigth you don't need an old one, a 360 can play all the halo games by default without any upgrades needed.
i think when they're talking about his grave, they mean the monument-thing you see in the final cutscene. after all, they do assume hes dead since he didnt make it back to earth
there is already one in the making. its set to be realesed in 2008-2009. but production has been temporaroly shut down due to buget issues
i believe what he said," no soldier should be honored for doing whats expected"!! respect the spartans!!!!
the wounds on his face look like he almost got a headshot from a plasma rifle
if they made the Halo movie, they could put this in it, somewhere at the end, as well as with the other 'believe' commercials! They're very good!
I think hes referring to one of those cutscenes at the end of halo 3, when they have that tribute to the fallen soldiers and all that has the marking "117" on it, and the legendary spartan warriors of greek mythology.
"No soldier should be honored for what is expected" i find that to be fairly true, Though they should be honored for volunteering to do what is expected.
If your talking about that cool short then those were Brutes with Spikers, shooting spikes at the marines.
I think, for the budget they had of very little, they did an amazing job. Just think Transformers quality for Covenant... I would be blown away.
These commercials are so believable.
for morale amongst the troops they can never be listed as K.I.A. only M.I.A.
marine:sheeeet that sparton just got his head blown off!
sgt:nope hes only mia
SPARTANS NEVER DIE, THEY ARE JUST MISSING IN ACTION
What's weird is that in the first vid in the museum of humanity, he is listed as major, but in this one he's a leutenant.
i started to think handing my ps3 in to get myself an xbox and all the halo games, really love that franchise, never really could play it :(
everyone thinks cheif is dead but hes in space floating
Yes it's coming out this fall.
I lean towards this "Believe" ViDoc as the best of them all because, aside from the Enemy Weapon, it has the most emotional pull imo. If Bungie and a good hand full of Producers and a spectacular Director (Danny Boyle really popped into my mind here) pieced together these docs and brought the Halo universe alive in a trilogy, this could be a great one (hoping along the lines of LotR trilogy).
Also, the offstage guy is Alistair from Dragon age origins and Harry Flynn from uncharted 2
master chief still a live i'm know, i see the legendary end
this video is another reason why microsoft and bungi finally stop fighting and make the dam halo movie, this video is so heart touching and sad, it makes u wonder when humanity will stop all this fighting and come to peace and make a monument dedicated to everyone who has died because of war and foolishness.
In one of the books. I Believe it was either Fall of Reach or First strike
i love them
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Never Forget Reach.
having the mentally of not wanting praise for doing something thats expected might be the best thing in the world
@EnvyMyPower What I mean to imply, sir, is that EVERYONE who answers the call should be honored. From the most accomplished Spec Ops soldier to the newest recruit of the Coast Guard.
they don't know he did, not even the arbiter knew, and he was in the other half of the ship...
Spartans never die, they just relax in Miami.
@EnvyMyPower every serviceman deserves your respect and to be honoured for their service to there country
how the spartans trained has always been a model for how certain special forces train today, the SAS takes some of the spartan tests to use in there own, although they made them slightly less barbaric
6 years later....and we all still BELIEVE.
Its amazing that they halo is this big!
"Spartans never die? If only that were true."
they did call him john. at the end of the halo 3 campaign cortana calls master chief john
Looks like someone ether never read the books or doesn't get their facts straight before answering.
The spartans IIIs had absolutely no contact with spartan IIs before the incident at Onyx besides with Kurt. The Alpha generation was wiped out on a mission, and same goes for Beta. The only two that survived were picked to train Gamma (a group of teens) at Onyx. No Spartan III ever set foot on Reach, because ONI wouldn't risk having the project leaked. And it's confirmed that Noble team are IIIs.
That's some good insight. The fact that you don't honor someone who does what is expected only highlights the miraculous things the Chief did.
the book says masterchief floats to onyx, and there are some other spartans there and their stranded and also the person who created cortona
actually certain spartan 3.0's where given prototype energy shielded armor and sent in two man teams to do difficult missions. it was called project headhunters. it is very likely that noble team where at one time members of project headhunter and then later where combined into a full spartan squad rather then two man teams. halo reach barely breaks cannon especially if you have an imagination.
He actually said "No soldier should be honored for doing his job" which is just Master Chief's kick-ass way of saying that he just does what's expected. It's by no means dishonoring to veterans. It'd be the same as him saying "It's just a job"
@FortitudeOfHeaven Bungie did give everyone some closure, it's called Halo 3
