Green and Blue "Halsey...she made you she can fix you." The moment I heard chief say these words for the first time, my heart collapsed and tears came down my face . And the rest of the campaign just got even more heart wrenching having to watch cortana slowly dying. I think Halo 4 was a good campaign but they should have just let cortana die right then and there, not bring her back to life and made the villain.😔
@@psychepus-1715 Same lol. Ironically, The library is one of my favorite missions in halo CE. Once you know the layout of the map, and where the enemies come from, I think it might be one of the most fun "kill them all" simulators in gaming history.
"It didn't take long for Reach to fall, our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough... For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory .. your victory .. was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor, all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."
Halo is one of the saddest video game series of all time. Yes, it is bombastic, over the top, silly, epic, cool, awesome and every adjective you want to put in there. But for most of the halo timeline, we are losing, badly. Humanity essentially IS going extinct. The only way we could compete was, in a way, to destroy other peoples humanity. Master Chief never had a true childhood. He barely had “friends”, they were coworkers. A small 6 year old boy was stolen from his home, away from his parents who would think their child had actually died of some unknown disease, and be put in the hardest, most grueling military training in the galaxy. A 6 year old, where the longest word you know is “firetruck” is being taught how to murder another human being. As he grows along side similarly emotionally damaged and unavailable kids, he knows one thing, he must complete a mission with the upmost speed and precision. At 14 years old, where he should be concerned about what highschool he’s going to, this killing machine of a human being is injected with unsafe and unbelievably painful modifications to his still growing body that have a 60% chance of maiming him for life or straight up killing him. He watches his comrades of 8 years die or at best become crippled. He shoots up to 7 feet tall in a matter of a few years. With immense strength and speed, he is barely a human being. Able to punch through a mans skull at 16 years old, He’s casted out as a science experiment that was made to diminish the sacrifices of the fallen, fully human hero’s of the war. Chief has nobody to turn to. He is in every sense, alone. But, he understands why he fights. He fights because he’s too important to die. He is the only one who can give the people of the galaxy a chance to live better lives than he did. He doesn’t want another John 117, because we shouldn’t need another. But he is still so, so alone. All he knows, and has ever known, is death. He can’t even properly become a normal man, he never had a chance to show emotion. If he did, that means he could jeopardize the mission. He must stay cold, but eventually he froze. He doesn’t know how to experience emotion. He knows happiness is being rewarded for a mission accomplished, and sadness is a mission jeopardized. Anger as fuel to kill the enemy. And it’s effective. But when all is said and done, Chief lays back and is still just a 6 year old kid in a mans body who fiddles with his rifle when he’s confronted with something he can’t kill with his hands. Until, Cortana came into the picture. She was a real, not to be oxymoronic, person to Chief. She listened to him, she joked with him, she was someone who he could ever trust. Nobody had ever actually cared about John, they cared about The Master Chief, Savior of Humanity. Yet Cortana looked deeper, and gave this scared, confused 6 year old boy who hid himself behind a big green mask a hug and a shoulder to cry on. An AI, was more human than the man with skin and bones. Through every mission, she was right next to him, dependable as can be. But eventually, she succumbed to one of the most human experiences of all, death. Slowly in front of chiefs eyes, Cortana was losing it. And all he could do was watch. His friend, his only friend who had been with him through all these years, who stayed beside him in the cryogenic chamber, was slipping right between his fingers. He couldn’t just shoot or punch away the problem. Like everyone else, Cortana was going to die. And, she did. His beacon of humanity in his horrible, horrible life, was gone. He was once again, alone. Years pass, and at the first possible moment where he could possibly get her back, Chief betrays orders for one of the first times in his life to save her. Finally, he can get back to normal, he can finally feel whole again, he can finally he human again. But, unfortunately, it’s not so simple. The person who had actual meant something to him, was now, truly, just another AI. His only confidante, had betrayed him by luring him to a grave. She told him that this was what should happen, why humanity shouldn’t be allowed to rule, that the people who had taken chiefs life away from him should pay. But Chief knew that he was part of something bigger than himself, that he was an unfortunate step in keeping the rest of humanity safe. And so, Cortana after being defeated by a team sent to capture Chief, retreated. Chiefs beacon of humanity had become exactly the thing they had fought against. A tyrannical rule of species purists who saw humanity as an imperfect plague. Chief now has to take back his humanity, and become his own person. Through the loss of the person who helped him start this journey, he must take off his training wheels and find out who’s the human and who’s the machine. This is just one of the many tragic stories of the halo universe, so yeah, I believe that halo is one of the saddest video game franchises ever. (Btw sorry for the wall of text)
So many things I would have changed. But now I press forward with the choices I made and the path I forged; each day striving to be better than before.....to overcome my worst enemy, myself.
Today is Thursday January 13th 2022. All halo servers on the xbox 360 have been offline for several hours now. The golden era of gaming is gone. kids now wont know how great halo really was. 14 years and a ton of memories. We will miss you old halo. Rest In Peace
@@alivingdagger9915 for how long? Eventually the same thing may happen to it. I mean of course it may not since its also on PC and wont be shut down there most likely, but still. Everything comes to an end, what matters is what you make of the experience...
Hard to believe its over.... Things won't ever be the same. MCC just has a different feel. It comes close to the old feeling but just cant beat OG halo feeling...
When you remember the lone wolf himself, dying alone on a planet that falls to the covenant, and no one remembering or knowing who he was and what he did. That man/women being Noble Six
In Halo Shadows of Reach, when Blue Team flies over the remnants of SWORD Base, John mentions The Package mission, and directly says “NOBLE Team bombed a Forerunner Ship”. So I don’t think Six was forgotten, and in the ONI Archives video for Reach, UEG citizens were being educated about NOBLE’s efforts and loses.
never forget..... never forget the loved ones you played within a tent blanket as children. Never forget the times you sneaked past your bedtime playing a missio because you were so close to finishing it on legendary. Never forget the matchmaking with your teammates and those that played against you. Never forget the one that never could truly finish the fight RIP. Never forget the the times of laughter, fun, and achievements you spent on forge. Never forget singing the halo music in the bathroom with the boys. Never forget the friends that said "see you tomorrow" which ended as "last online 3 years ago". Never forget fucking around on a forge map or in matchmaking. Never forget the many times you cussed at the TV because you couldn't kill that dam jackal witht the sniper Never forget... Never forget the first time you saw that ring with the awe music. to all my halo brothers and sisters, it has been an honor to play with and against you. If I have played against you (my tag mexicanmafia199) thank you..... Never forget
Truly poetic brother, to all put brothers and sisters who finished the fight and definitely to those that didn’t and to those that fight on believing there’s a brighter tomorrow for the series, cheers
I can't help but tear up whenever I hear 'Never Forget' because of my brother who passed away two years ago. I didn't grow up playing Halo 3 online when it was in its prime; my parents considered me too young to play online at the time. But, I still hold a lot of memories of watching my brother play Halo 3 online with friends, doing private matches, messing with Forge mode, treading through Legendary runs, having friendly banter/trash-talk with strangers in lobbies, and playing split-screen with him on occasion. In a way, it felt like I got to experience it through watching him.
*_I remember how this war started, what you're man kind did to mine. I can't forgive you, but you have my thanks........stand by him to the end. It' hard to believe that he is dead._*
I doubt gaming will ever catch that lightning in a bottle that halo did. The books, the lore, the music, everything. Back when gaming was about gaming, not about skins and in game purchases.
I know I late, really late, but does this make anyone els sad, this is my childhood, the memory's of playing this with my friends, blasting through the missions, the rp, the laughs, I wish I could go back to those days, when I was happy and did not have a care in the world, when I had no responsibilities, and everything was exciting and new
Man, reading some of these comments made me realize we are here to pay tribute to our past. I started out on the OG when I was 13. Halo 3 was the real treat for me though. I was 18 when it came out. My older brother and I waited in line for 3 hours. We stayed up all night and played through the entire campaign together. I haven't talked to him in over 4 years now, he got into drugs did some unspeakable things to my family and my grandparents. I don't even know if he's alive anymore. I think of him every now and then and wonder if he's okay, if I would even recognize him? I miss him for who he used to be, not for what he is now. I'll always remember the good times though. Everyone gets older. Funny, it seems like we spend much of our youth wishing we were older so we could do the grown up things and now.... all I want to do is go back to my youth. I can't believe it's been over 20 years since the first Halo came out......
My man. I remember playing the Halo Mac Demo back in 2007, and playing the PC Port in 2008, wondering how people were doing certain things. Turned out to be modded. Heh. My family was still together, mostly playing in the same room. I was early elementary age, barely old enough to understand the implications. Played Halo 2 Vista in 2009 on an older sibling's PC. I got an XBox 360 from my parents in 2012, and hooked it up to a little 10" TV that we had from over 10 years ago at that point, right as Halo 4 came out. The screen was small, but it was still a monumental day of my life. Made my fair share of friends on XBL on there. Got to play Halo Reach, 3, and ODST sometime after too, with a bigger screen, sharing it with siblings from earlier. Now, 16 years later from having first played a Halo game and couple years older than old enough to drink, and my god I have to say Halo defined my early childhood. Tears welting up as I type this, remembering the glory days of Halo. My family is broken up now. We stay in contact thank god, but it's not the same. We all have jobs now, some in tech.
"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure...sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." Rest in peace to Myles Quik Castillo and everyone who journeyed into the howling dark, the beautiful memories made will forever be cherished..
In all honesty, I feel that "Green and Blue" is a number of things: Life... and death. Love... and betrayal. Hope... and despair. Truth... and reasoning. Friends... and enemies. Unity... and division. A voice... and a heart.
POV: It 3:42 am on a Sunday morning, your the only one awake, you decide to take a seat on the couch and you think about life, the friends you made along the way in life, your family, your favorite things to do, the great achievements you've made in life, then suddenly, you realize that you need to cherish these memories because one day it will all be over and everything will be gone. Just a reminder YOU have a point in this world YOU are important YOU are special people love YOU and if other people dont love YOU I love YOU And I dont care who YOU are, how old YOU are, what YOU like to do, what YOU look like, what YOUR beliefs are. I love YOU Last thing........ remember you are loved. Have a nice life and live it out as much as you can :] ( For the people that stayed around, hi it is currently 4:00 am present time for me and now that im breaking in tears bc of the music and this comment and other peoples comments i am very tired so im gonna rest now d: )
thankyou finally someone said it, i wont lie im not a huge fan of fives music but i absolutely love 4's music, one of my fav halos music wise. makes me feel a certain way inside and makes me think about my life. chefs kiss
Dude. It’s almost 5am. I couldn’t sleep, so I’ve been trying to find soundtracks to help me sleep. Thought I’d try the good old halo soundtracks. Now I’ve been laying here fighting back tears because playing the game when I was younger was just my whole childhood. It’s ridiculous but I didn’t graduate because of Halo. I skipped school to stay up so late and pull all-nighters to play with my friends or farm on Grifball until I fell asleep (I don’t wanna talk about it😂) I’m now a single mom of two, struggling with mental health and trauma. And laying here listening to this just brings me back to those “simpler” times. I wanna feel it just one more time. I love Halo so much, nobody outside of the community will ever understand.
Found my old Halo megablox toys I played with years ago. before all the heartbreak and the violence that consumed my life. I used to play halo 2 with my dad on his original xbox. He would beat me every time and he would mouth the words „game over“ to me as I looked up to him and smiled. After each time I’d go back into my room and recreate the events of the story with my little toys. I found them just now, all the Warthogs, Drop Pods, Scorpians, Ghosts, Marines, Elites, Grunts, ODSTs, Jackals, and Spartans were left exactly how I left them a decade ago. I set apart the Master Chief, because he was the Hero. He was MY Hero. If I played with you, I was HollyWood_#11- G07. It’s been an honor. Remember, „Don’t shake the lightbulb.“
What you say is the truth. Why would anyone want to change your mind? But I feel not for long. To celebrate 20 years of xbox and OG combat evolved, this November 15, you might witness the launch of Halo infinite and as far as I know, 343i is pouring their hearts in that game to replicate the magic you once felt while playing OG combat evolved. They're also talking to many former Bungie employees to make the game as halo as humanly possible.
@@sierrachief117 he's saying mcc is the best collection of games, so no matter how good infinite ends up being, its not a collection so infinite's quality is irrelevant.
*I miss my dad, we used to play halo when i was growing up as a kid. He died when I was 12. He was the main reason I joined the Marines. Its like he is with me when I am deployed. Never alone*
and Never Forget. i am sorry for your loss. as well a big thank you for your service went against the odds and still came up top again, thank you a hell ton Spartan, ODST, Marine
under cover of night will always hit home for me. my girlfriend and i loved halo. one night when we snuck out together (first time i saw her in a year and half bc of quarantine) It was the first time both of us snuck out, i gave her my headphone and we listened to under cover of night. it was beautiful, she got on the back of my bike and i drove us through the dark parts of the neighborhood with nothing else except the moonlight lighting our way. one of the greatest moments of my life, just me and her under cover of the night. We split up during may. I still think about her from time to time. this song helps me remember the good times with her.
I was about 5 or 4 or 6...I played halo and...man it was amazing forget the ratings and now I'm 19 and I wish I could go back and play with my brothers and cousins...
These songs will forever be a masterpiece to the halo series, and i will never forget those first 4 halo games, from reach to halo 3, those times gave me the best experience and life i could possibly ever had, and now i am sad for having to say goodbye to those great master pieces when bungie left
I bought the Master Chief Collection for my cousin for Christmas, he had never played a Halo game before. A few days later he texts me out of the blue and simply says, "the music in halo is fantastic"
As Xbox becomes more a service than a platform to meet life-long friends and bonds, remember you grew up in the golden age of gaming. When you were filled with excitement to rush home and get online with your friends after school or even work. Remember the countless hours that halo and xbox gave you through tough and exciting times. Those people who now reside only as a warm memory. The wonder and awe you experienced no matter what your age. Remember. Cherish. *Believe.* 29:39
The first halo game I played was Reach, then 5, then MCC. This reminds me of my old days playing reach. I almost cried while listening to this. Recently I've been going through tough times. I decided to listen to this when I'm very sad and want to left alone. (p.s. my favorite theme in this is Halo 3 Never Forget and ghosts and glass and New Alexandria).
Reach… “do you have it?” “yes” “say the words please” “I have it” Without reach we would have the chief or the pillar of autumn Let’s be honest without reach…halo would be halo… Reach was about bravery…courage…Osiris and blue team do it because they were born too, 6 knew he wasn’t coming home… Reach: lone wolf… “Spartans never die…there just missing in action” remember reach.
Man, just reading the comments. How some people childhoods memories are about the game and how basically we all had a reason for halo to be in our hearts. And these songs remind me of the good and simpler times in gaming. I’m glad we can all cry together and just look back on the games and still be happy about it.
Damn I never thought I would be at this point in my life. Reminiscing the past at a young age. When I was a kid I thought I would achieve things but here I am depressed, alone, and doing nothing. Halo 2 and Reach hit me hard. Experiencing those games with my sister and brother was amazing. I miss Halo...
The Saddest moment for me? the realization that future generations will never understand what Halo has done for us. What Bungie created in our childhood/young adulthood is such a defining moment for so many people. Kids today sitting in 4th period right now, will never understand that feeling, booting up Halo 3 for the first time, Finishing the Fight, all the way to Remembering Reach. They will just get half-baked garbage pies from 343 or whoever decides to own the franchise later.
Maybe it's better if it does die, and be passed on into legend. I'd much rather have it be that way than have it butchered like most modern game franchises.
too quick me thinks. oh hell whatever i still try to enjoy what we have now and im glad i enjoyed it with you spartans as well before thanks for playing everyone! it was a a Journey I will never regret making =]
Thank you. I feel this is more sad and emotional to me then someone who’s just started to play a couple months ago, because I literally grew up playing Halo I feel that I have a strong love for halo and a connection with chief. My dream has always been to be “the hero” or something like that like everyone but I always fantasize about having custom spartan armor, I sacrifice myself for the greater good for humanity to live on. But that’s just a fantasy just electrons going through a few vessels in a brain spread out through 7 billon other people. Who’s to say there isn’t life in the infinite space or is space just an endless void waiting for humans to evolve waiting for the end of all life on a single planet for the end of all light or is it something bigger life if you’re christian then you believe in something bigger but I won’t get into too much religion for this is only a video about music even though it’s something small it spreads an idea, a fantasy, an escape from reality, but what if it was possible then it wouldn’t be a fantasy anymore it would be a truth in someway we don’t know if life exists or not but if it does is it smarter or is it less smart is it humanoid or No? the covenant might exist but there’s no way to find out is there unless there is but I won’t find it now maybe I will long from now but I’m just living my life dreaming about my fantasies everyday while you read this comment made of data that appears to the human eye because of light etc but you are reading this comment because you made it to here. Thank you for attending my comment thank *you* for reading my whole comment ❤️
Halo as a game always reminds me of what video games mean to us sometimes it means fun times with our loved ones who may no longer be here or the story of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds halo as a community is a great show of creativity sportsmanship and skill sometimes there’s issues but in general most of are United by the experience and I’m glad to be a part of all of it
Does anyone just sit here with the halo soundtrack playing just thinking about the easier days with you mates, online cause you was the outcast AND NOW Sitting here at the age 26 smiling with a tear in there eye or just me HAHA. Halo was my life when young, i will never forget this game the smiles, the laughs and just the joy it gave me when saw that loading screen... THANK YOU HALO, thank you chief, thank you echo 419 and thank you bungie
My best friend and I played Halo 3 together. It was the first Halo game we ever picked up and got instantly hooked and bought the others. She passed away about a year ago (drunk driver). And I can't separate Halo from the friendship she gave me. Especially the song "Keep What You Steal" from Halo 3, I'm a grown ass man but it seriously brings me to tears everytime I fucking hear it. I miss you so much Samantha, whenever I see you again, we can play: "Just One More Game." Like you used to say. Rest in Peace.
I'll never forget when I arrived to the US and my family struggled to find a place to call home, Halo 2 was one of the first games we touched when we got here, and we played offline multiplayer so much with each other we were sick of it. Ramming the purple tank into the scorpion and watching the scorpion fly into space. It's been more than 10 years now, and I cherish the memory I made then.
Remembering the days where you played halo 2,3,odst, reach with youre brother and remembering how beautiful it was and the music is just masterpieces thanks mate🤙🏽
This game signifies a much simpler time in life. A time we took for granted. When everything was still new and exciting. It's funny how the past felt like everything always meant something. Like we were supposed to be where we were meant to be. Now it feels lost drifting in space. I long to go back. I long to wish but the momentum forward is unchanging. Only my Brain is left, longing to relive the past because now life is cold, dark, and alone. I wish I could learn to feel again. But I am numb more so than ever before. I feel nothing
The Halo saga will always make me remember the beautiful moments lived with my big brother Luis Enrique. Video games are very special to generate great bonds in the family... RIP
Halo series was more than just a game. I never had the chance to play it in its prime. But when I bought MCC on PC, I discovered a universe unknown to me. Something truly amazing. Not just a soldier against an army, and the hope of humanity resting on his shoulders, but a man too, broken at his core. John lost many, had to let go of so much, and yet was expected to do more. He could have snaped, completely stop at any point, and he didn't. Some say the Master Chief lostbhis humanity due to the Spartan II project, i beg to differ. I think he's the most human being. He continued the fight, past his time, past his limits, past his emotions for he was needed. For he was able to do it, and not another one who might die. He was cold at first. But slowy, thanks to Cortona and later the Weapon in Infinite, he began to express more. He went ahead and beyond what was expected from him. And never ask anything back. But maybe he was. Asking what you may ask. I don't know. He is a spark, the one that light the fire burning deep inside of everyone humans. This fire is the embodiement of Humanity. Some fuel it with vengeance, anger, hatred. Others fuel it with will, duty, and hope. When we played... when you played this game, have you felt it? This fire within you, transcending the screen. Have you ever found yourselves, wondering about life, about the future, about you and others after playing a mission? Have you ever paused the game and just went outside? Have you ever just stopped thinking and simply listened to the music of Halo? I did. And I regret nothing. Be well, Brothers and Sisters of Halo. We may have never met, but we share this bond of loving this game. This game that was more than just a game. No matter our age, or the day we started playing it.
Early 8am mornings when I was 4 I would open this game and as I waited for my father to come to play the campaign again with me for the hundredth time that week I didn't think to much of it when the sweet sound of New Alexandria faded in. I played this game for 6 years with that man until he had lost his battle to pneumonia. Now when I open the game and hear that sound I cry, the game doesn't feel the same for me anymore, it feels empty, like I was missing a teammate on the noble team.
It's wild, as we sit here looking back at our lives we wonder did we accomplish what we should have. Did we do what was needed to be done? Skipping so many parties and lifestyles to sit back and grind the years out of Halo, Gears & Cod. Thank you for the video takes me back. To all those reading this. Be Safe & Happy New Year!
This music def brings back memories of friends I've lost through the years due to time and growing up. I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on this series and will probably never forget the amazing moments I had with it.
Don't be sad about the current state of halo......be happy about the unbelievable time's it brought gaming as a whole. It will always be....... legendary.
Back then there was no disk downloads, just put the disk in and play let the memories we know and love today grow in our hearts as we listen to this soundtrack and relive those nostalgic moments.
Whenever I listen to Halo music, I feel like I am one of the people living in the Halo universe. Imagine being one of the person living in one of the multiple planets humanity has been able to reach. You do not know where and what your fellow species living in the other planets are doing. You just know that they are very very far away from you. And here you are, standing on one of the valleys of a massive planet, from your home window, you are able to see the two moons that outshine the night sky, the cold breeze that touches your body, the countless people who are living out there with their families without any specific goal in their mind apart from just 'surviving'... That feeling of deep insecurity... The feeling of being insignificant in the universe...
Visiting this video because my uncle passed 3 days ago. He showed me halo when i was a kid, let me win against him, and thats how halo became one of my favorite games to date. And honestly he made me enjoy games, its one of my favorite hobbies. Rest In Peace Uncle
Welcome back to the base soldier! Rest at anytime, you earned it! I know it's hard at this time but trust me, it's gonna be fine and be back to normal. If you want to talk more be free to tall to the general. You have all the free time you want. See you later soldier.
I wish I cared more about the story of the older halo games when I first played them. I’ve been a fan of halo since my dad showed me Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, but I had never experienced any of the games properly. At this same time I was introduced to the internet, and my foolish younger self spoilt every single one of them. Halo Infinite’s campaign will, in a way, be the first campaign I truly experienced.
Half of these songs remind me of when I first entered the world of gaming. I got an Xbox 360 when I was younger, and halo 3 was the first-ever game I had ever played on the 360. Playing halo for the first time, was probably the best experience I’ve had with gaming back then
might be a year or so late, but I just wanted to vent off some sadness that have lingered on my mind for so long. the word halo doesn't exactly ring alot to some people I know, but for those who grew up with me. it was a game, but just not anyother game at the time. it was glorious, magnificent, the story compelling. me and the old crew first booted up the halo reach demo when i first got my 360 in 2010, we always wanted to play more and more despite me not having the full game. nonetheless we spent hours competing over who's surviving the longest against the infinite waves of AI that would spawn on that demo if you lingered on the beach for too long. whilst during that time, we were "new" to the game, we didn't know jack-shit to do. we all sprawled around like chickens stressing over loud sounds. it seemed to go on for hours, however as soon as the clock striked bed time, my mother came and said it was time for sleep as I didn't want to miss out on school. later, my father allowed me to use his card to buy halo 3. I called my best friend Mimir(who sooner left the crew, and eventually sparked a bit of unrest and division in the group) he and I loaded up the halo 3 campaign, boom those words said by Cortana and what seemed to be Chief striking down towards the surface we were struck by surprise as we saw the arbiter allying up with 117. i only played halo 2 on pc a bit as i accidently played it on legendary as a kid. forget that for now. as we discussed more and more, the boys would gather up at my place, boom 4 players on the couch, some in chairs watching each other fall in custom games. i am pretty sure that was our "glory" and "golden" days. it wouldn't go too long until I got my hands on minecraft and halo 4 for the dust machine, sure halo 4 got bombarded by critics as a lousy attempt by 343. however, my friends sure as hell enjoyed it and we always rotated on which game to play on the 360. as 2015 rolled on, this is what i would deem as the passing finale of our tale, our legacy. battlefield hardline would release and i got it on launch day. my best mate, player 2 got it mid autumn. we promised eachother we would protect one another incase of emergency, promised we would go to war with eachother(as if ww3 will ever approach) and most important: NEVER lie and betray one another. those promises still sits with me today, as if they never aged and more as a testimony that would be fullfilled eventually. As the end of the year approached, he hits me with the most tragic news. He was moving back to Iceland, I just brushed it off as he was joking. but sure enough, boom. he was gone, I never got a chance to say goodbye, never to play one last Bo2 game of multiplayer splitscreen again with him. the depressing part of those moments was that the year prior(2014) my grandad died. both of those guys were my best mates, so not getting a finale encounter and say goodbye really got a toll on me. after he left, the memories of late night halo 3, 4 coop returned. the finale level on halo 4 taking us hours because of his lousy flying and my shitty aim. note: we played with the restart checkpoint skull on. Yikes.... as 2016-17 rolled over, fewer of my friends came to visit, less and less had contact with me and eachother. we were finally growing up, all of those hours on minecraft, bo2, halo 3, odst and 4 would remain on my hard drive till this day(except minecraft :/, but we still have the memories intact) during those years, my "friends" that i knew way back started doing drugs and sure enough who got entangled in that mess. me. however, in 2018 whoops. who calls? my icelandic friend, luckily for him I had a gamin laptop which is still functioning. we would finally boot up TF2, which i played solo on the 360 in 2012 and that isn't so fun is it? now in 2021, i gathered up most of the crew back, sure it isn't 100% back, but the few pieces of scraps in a machine is enough to keep it stabilized. i would estimate right now: 20% are still doing drugs and/or shady stuff, 25% don't even talk to me or the crew, 10% increase of names, 15% have completely changed the way they look at me(i am relatively fit, no abs though.) it would seem they don't find me fitting as a friend in their new group. the rest....well we're back with power, but barely managing it right now. now that Halo Infinite have released their free multiplayer, me and 3 others are having a blast returning to the pvp halo era of our childhoods, though we're a tad bit more grown up. I could've told more in this memento, but then I would have been awake for like 4-6 hours more than what the time is right now(20:08/08:08pm) fun fact: I was the one who introduced like 65% approximately of the old crew to each other, some backstabbing us and going their dark routes and some sticking by just incase something interesting would happen. and sure enough, as we called them they were never too far away to swing by. if one of the old pals find this memento, remember: "That city in Minecraft will always wait for us!"

Green and Blue
"Halsey...she made you she can fix you." The moment I heard chief say these words for the first time, my heart collapsed and tears came down my face . And the rest of the campaign just got even more heart wrenching having to watch cortana slowly dying.
I think Halo 4 was a good campaign but they should have just let cortana die right then and there, not bring her back to life and made the villain.😔
@@gamer_primus6262 I still don't understand how videos like these even can get dislikes. I'm gonna bet they're just bots.

I played my first ever playthrough of Halo on hard and it was one of the best games i've ever played period.
i got my ass kicked at library tho
@@psychepus-1715 Same lol. Ironically, The library is one of my favorite missions in halo CE. Once you know the layout of the map, and where the enemies come from, I think it might be one of the most fun "kill them all" simulators in gaming history.
memories....
I played Halo, and Reach as a kid. Right now I am playing every other one I can get for the first time. I will remember these days.
"It didn't take long for Reach to fall, our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough... For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory .. your victory .. was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor, all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."
Hits me everytime.
Noble team, thank you . . . . .
I’ve memorized this only to hear it as Halsey saying it.

I swear if Halo isn't in the history books and being talked about in classes 100 years later, my soul will cry.

Halo is one of the saddest video game series of all time. Yes, it is bombastic, over the top, silly, epic, cool, awesome and every adjective you want to put in there. But for most of the halo timeline, we are losing, badly. Humanity essentially IS going extinct. The only way we could compete was, in a way, to destroy other peoples humanity. Master Chief never had a true childhood. He barely had “friends”, they were coworkers. A small 6 year old boy was stolen from his home, away from his parents who would think their child had actually died of some unknown disease, and be put in the hardest, most grueling military training in the galaxy. A 6 year old, where the longest word you know is “firetruck” is being taught how to murder another human being. As he grows along side similarly emotionally damaged and unavailable kids, he knows one thing, he must complete a mission with the upmost speed and precision. At 14 years old, where he should be concerned about what highschool he’s going to, this killing machine of a human being is injected with unsafe and unbelievably painful modifications to his still growing body that have a 60% chance of maiming him for life or straight up killing him. He watches his comrades of 8 years die or at best become crippled. He shoots up to 7 feet tall in a matter of a few years. With immense strength and speed, he is barely a human being. Able to punch through a mans skull at 16 years old, He’s casted out as a science experiment that was made to diminish the sacrifices of the fallen, fully human hero’s of the war. Chief has nobody to turn to. He is in every sense, alone. But, he understands why he fights. He fights because he’s too important to die. He is the only one who can give the people of the galaxy a chance to live better lives than he did. He doesn’t want another John 117, because we shouldn’t need another. But he is still so, so alone. All he knows, and has ever known, is death. He can’t even properly become a normal man, he never had a chance to show emotion. If he did, that means he could jeopardize the mission. He must stay cold, but eventually he froze. He doesn’t know how to experience emotion. He knows happiness is being rewarded for a mission accomplished, and sadness is a mission jeopardized. Anger as fuel to kill the enemy. And it’s effective. But when all is said and done, Chief lays back and is still just a 6 year old kid in a mans body who fiddles with his rifle when he’s confronted with something he can’t kill with his hands. Until, Cortana came into the picture. She was a real, not to be oxymoronic, person to Chief. She listened to him, she joked with him, she was someone who he could ever trust. Nobody had ever actually cared about John, they cared about The Master Chief, Savior of Humanity. Yet Cortana looked deeper, and gave this scared, confused 6 year old boy who hid himself behind a big green mask a hug and a shoulder to cry on. An AI, was more human than the man with skin and bones. Through every mission, she was right next to him, dependable as can be. But eventually, she succumbed to one of the most human experiences of all, death. Slowly in front of chiefs eyes, Cortana was losing it. And all he could do was watch. His friend, his only friend who had been with him through all these years, who stayed beside him in the cryogenic chamber, was slipping right between his fingers. He couldn’t just shoot or punch away the problem. Like everyone else, Cortana was going to die. And, she did. His beacon of humanity in his horrible, horrible life, was gone. He was once again, alone. Years pass, and at the first possible moment where he could possibly get her back, Chief betrays orders for one of the first times in his life to save her. Finally, he can get back to normal, he can finally feel whole again, he can finally he human again. But, unfortunately, it’s not so simple. The person who had actual meant something to him, was now, truly, just another AI. His only confidante, had betrayed him by luring him to a grave. She told him that this was what should happen, why humanity shouldn’t be allowed to rule, that the people who had taken chiefs life away from him should pay. But Chief knew that he was part of something bigger than himself, that he was an unfortunate step in keeping the rest of humanity safe. And so, Cortana after being defeated by a team sent to capture Chief, retreated. Chiefs beacon of humanity had become exactly the thing they had fought against. A tyrannical rule of species purists who saw humanity as an imperfect plague. Chief now has to take back his humanity, and become his own person. Through the loss of the person who helped him start this journey, he must take off his training wheels and find out who’s the human and who’s the machine. This is just one of the many tragic stories of the halo universe, so yeah, I believe that halo is one of the saddest video game franchises ever. (Btw sorry for the wall of text)
Yeah bro shits tough
Cool soundtrack tho

God damn, I never thought of Halo or Master Chief like that… oh my God.

Today is Thursday January 13th 2022. All halo servers on the xbox 360 have been offline for several hours now. The golden era of gaming is gone. kids now wont know how great halo really was. 14 years and a ton of memories. We will miss you old halo. Rest In Peace
MCC still exists; where despair lies, so too does hope.
Do not be sad that it is gone, be happy that it happened
@@alivingdagger9915 for how long? Eventually the same thing may happen to it. I mean of course it may not since its also on PC and wont be shut down there most likely, but still. Everything comes to an end, what matters is what you make of the experience...
Good news bois, halo 3 online is back for the 360 via mods, checkout general kidd on yt
Hard to believe its over.... Things won't ever be the same. MCC just has a different feel. It comes close to the old feeling but just cant beat OG halo feeling...
When you remember the lone wolf himself, dying alone on a planet that falls to the covenant, and no one remembering or knowing who he was and what he did. That man/women being Noble Six
It was a lost cause from the start, and still he stood.
@@littlewindstar Stood he did, knowing that he'll never die, just be missing in action
And yet he was chosen by Cortana, to deliver on of the most vital piece of John. He may be forgotten, but he was as essential as them all.
In Halo Shadows of Reach, when Blue Team flies over the remnants of SWORD Base, John mentions The Package mission, and directly says “NOBLE Team bombed a Forerunner Ship”.
So I don’t think Six was forgotten, and in the ONI Archives video for Reach, UEG citizens were being educated about NOBLE’s efforts and loses.
@@zilentis1835 Is Halo Shawdows of Reach a game, movie, or comic? Because I wanna give into that, sounds interesting.
never forget..... never forget the loved ones you played within a tent blanket as children. Never forget the times you sneaked past your bedtime playing a missio because you were so close to finishing it on legendary. Never forget the matchmaking with your teammates and those that played against you. Never forget the one that never could truly finish the fight RIP. Never forget the the times of laughter, fun, and achievements you spent on forge. Never forget singing the halo music in the bathroom with the boys. Never forget the friends that said "see you tomorrow" which ended as "last online 3 years ago". Never forget fucking around on a forge map or in matchmaking. Never forget the many times you cussed at the TV because you couldn't kill that dam jackal witht the sniper Never forget... Never forget the first time you saw that ring with the awe music.
to all my halo brothers and sisters, it has been an honor to play with and against you. If I have played against you (my tag mexicanmafia199) thank you..... Never forget

@@NoName-hy6xj same here
@@journeysadventurist Hey I’m not alone
I can't help but tear up whenever I hear 'Never Forget' because of my brother who passed away two years ago. I didn't grow up playing Halo 3 online when it was in its prime; my parents considered me too young to play online at the time. But, I still hold a lot of memories of watching my brother play Halo 3 online with friends, doing private matches, messing with Forge mode, treading through Legendary runs, having friendly banter/trash-talk with strangers in lobbies, and playing split-screen with him on occasion. In a way, it felt like I got to experience it through watching him.
❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss! But, your brother's memory lives on! God rest his soul!
Stay strong dear friend 💙
eyes were in tears after i read that
I hope he rests in peace
We still remember, six....we still remember....
Never forget
I still remember the commercials. Remember Reach.
six was a good one...(also the only hyper lethal Spartans were chief and six. now only chief)

We’re it so easy. Halo 3 - 2007-now
Halo will live forever.
All is not lost yet brother
@@JustaRobot 2001 - 2021(so far).
Were it so easy
I doubt gaming will ever catch that lightning in a bottle that halo did. The books, the lore, the music, everything. Back when gaming was about gaming, not about skins and in game purchases.
Take a break spartan, you've earned it
Wake me when you need me
This makes me cry
I know I late, really late, but does this make anyone els sad, this is my childhood, the memory's of playing this with my friends, blasting through the missions, the rp, the laughs, I wish I could go back to those days, when I was happy and did not have a care in the world, when I had no responsibilities, and everything was exciting and new
Man, reading some of these comments made me realize we are here to pay tribute to our past. I started out on the OG when I was 13. Halo 3 was the real treat for me though. I was 18 when it came out.
My older brother and I waited in line for 3 hours. We stayed up all night and played through the entire campaign together. I haven't talked to him in over 4 years now, he got into drugs did some unspeakable things to my family and my grandparents.
I don't even know if he's alive anymore. I think of him every now and then and wonder if he's okay, if I would even recognize him? I miss him for who he used to be, not for what he is now. I'll always remember the good times though.
Everyone gets older. Funny, it seems like we spend much of our youth wishing we were older so we could do the grown up things and now.... all I want to do is go back to my youth. I can't believe it's been over 20 years since the first Halo came out......
My man. I remember playing the Halo Mac Demo back in 2007, and playing the PC Port in 2008, wondering how people were doing certain things. Turned out to be modded. Heh. My family was still together, mostly playing in the same room. I was early elementary age, barely old enough to understand the implications. Played Halo 2 Vista in 2009 on an older sibling's PC. I got an XBox 360 from my parents in 2012, and hooked it up to a little 10" TV that we had from over 10 years ago at that point, right as Halo 4 came out. The screen was small, but it was still a monumental day of my life. Made my fair share of friends on XBL on there. Got to play Halo Reach, 3, and ODST sometime after too, with a bigger screen, sharing it with siblings from earlier.
Now, 16 years later from having first played a Halo game and couple years older than old enough to drink, and my god I have to say Halo defined my early childhood. Tears welting up as I type this, remembering the glory days of Halo. My family is broken up now. We stay in contact thank god, but it's not the same. We all have jobs now, some in tech.
"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure...sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."
Rest in peace to Myles Quik Castillo and everyone who journeyed into the howling dark, the beautiful memories made will forever be cherished..
If you're here, You're a legend, And It was a Fun Journey playing with you guys.
Likewise bud.
There is something about the **Green and Blue** ost which invokes this deep sense of loss, sadness and regret.
Probably because it's literally Cortana's death theme.
In all honesty, I feel that "Green and Blue" is a number of things:
Life... and death.
Love... and betrayal.
Hope... and despair.
Truth... and reasoning.
Friends... and enemies.
Unity... and division.
A voice... and a heart.
halo doesn’t even feel like a video game franchise. it just, idk it just hits way deeper than that for those who know
I fear Johns time is coming... and it will be a very sad day for the halo community.
At least one more, one last effort
I sure they will "send him out with a bang"
But why do you say that ?

Random question. Was anyone else pleasantly surprised with how good halo wars 2 was? I personally think that was a massive win for the halo community
I think it was probably what caused a Halo revival with some fans. The introduction of The Banished was very, very smart.
It was good and brought some hope. The recent mixed community on Infinite however is just so split in what to think.
@@moneycat878d5 Yeah, but I have hope. I think this will be a pretty good game amongst the Halo Games.

@@pants4money966 Its sound will be gold but im unsure about the rest
Dude. It’s almost 5am. I couldn’t sleep, so I’ve been trying to find soundtracks to help me sleep. Thought I’d try the good old halo soundtracks. Now I’ve been laying here fighting back tears because playing the game when I was younger was just my whole childhood. It’s ridiculous but I didn’t graduate because of Halo. I skipped school to stay up so late and pull all-nighters to play with my friends or farm on Grifball until I fell asleep (I don’t wanna talk about it😂) I’m now a single mom of two, struggling with mental health and trauma. And laying here listening to this just brings me back to those “simpler” times. I wanna feel it just one more time. I love Halo so much, nobody outside of the community will ever understand.
But there are many people inside who will understand it...
Found my old Halo megablox toys I played with years ago. before all the heartbreak and the violence that consumed my life. I used to play halo 2 with my dad on his original xbox. He would beat me every time and he would mouth the words „game over“ to me as I looked up to him and smiled. After each time I’d go back into my room and recreate the events of the story with my little toys. I found them just now, all the Warthogs, Drop Pods, Scorpians, Ghosts, Marines, Elites, Grunts, ODSTs, Jackals, and Spartans were left exactly how I left them a decade ago. I set apart the Master Chief, because he was the Hero. He was MY Hero.
If I played with you, I was HollyWood_#11- G07.
It’s been an honor. Remember, „Don’t shake the lightbulb.“
Remember when we were all just kids staying up past our bed time playing without a care in the world. The memories.
ha ha ha ha ha good times
I remember...
Watching halo CE as a kid on the old Xbox is the best memory I ever had back when times were better
Halo MCC is the best collection of games out there.
Change my Mind.
Remember Reach. 9.14.20
What you say is the truth. Why would anyone want to change your mind? But I feel not for long. To celebrate 20 years of xbox and OG combat evolved, this November 15, you might witness the launch of Halo infinite and as far as I know, 343i is pouring their hearts in that game to replicate the magic you once felt while playing OG combat evolved. They're also talking to many former Bungie employees to make the game as halo as humanly possible.
Oh by the way, remember reach. If it weren't for noble 6, master chief wouldn't be alive.
@@sierrachief117 he's saying mcc is the best collection of games, so no matter how good infinite ends up being, its not a collection so infinite's quality is irrelevant.
*I miss my dad, we used to play halo when i was growing up as a kid. He died when I was 12. He was the main reason I joined the Marines. Its like he is with me when I am deployed. Never alone*
I'm certain he still watches over you, and is proud of your achievements! God rest his soul!
did he die in the marines? because if you joined in after him id be pretty scared to be dying aswell

Why do I get cold chills reading these comments listening to the music.
under cover of night will always hit home for me. my girlfriend and i loved halo. one night when we snuck out together (first time i saw her in a year and half bc of quarantine) It was the first time both of us snuck out, i gave her my headphone and we listened to under cover of night. it was beautiful, she got on the back of my bike and i drove us through the dark parts of the neighborhood with nothing else except the moonlight lighting our way. one of the greatest moments of my life, just me and her under cover of the night. We split up during may. I still think about her from time to time. this song helps me remember the good times with her.
Such an amazing song. My favorite song of any HALO game. Sorry you two broke up. :(
sorry for your loss spartan, shit nearly made me shed a tear, life goes on soldier, you absolutely amazing son of a bitch 👊
Green and Blue is so beautiful
I was about 5 or 4 or 6...I played halo and...man it was amazing forget the ratings and now I'm 19 and I wish I could go back and play with my brothers and cousins...

These songs will forever be a masterpiece to the halo series, and i will never forget those first 4 halo games, from reach to halo 3, those times gave me the best experience and life i could possibly ever had, and now i am sad for having to say goodbye to those great master pieces when bungie left
Deference for Darkness is definitely my favorite Halo song.

As Xbox becomes more a service than a platform to meet life-long friends and bonds, remember you grew up in the golden age of gaming. When you were filled with excitement to rush home and get online with your friends after school or even work. Remember the countless hours that halo and xbox gave you through tough and exciting times. Those people who now reside only as a warm memory. The wonder and awe you experienced no matter what your age.
Remember. Cherish. *Believe.* 29:39
For my brothers...
The first halo game I played was Reach, then 5, then MCC. This reminds me of my old days playing reach. I almost cried while listening to this. Recently I've been going through tough times. I decided to listen to this when I'm very sad and want to left alone. (p.s. my favorite theme in this is Halo 3 Never Forget and ghosts and glass and New Alexandria).
same
There is still time to stop the key from turning...
Reach…
“do you have it?”
“yes”
“say the words please”
“I have it”
Without reach we would have the chief or the pillar of autumn
Let’s be honest without reach…halo would be halo…
Reach was about bravery…courage…Osiris and blue team do it because they were born too,
6 knew he wasn’t coming home…
Reach: lone wolf…
“Spartans never die…there just missing in action”
remember reach.
Man, just reading the comments. How some people childhoods memories are about the game and how basically we all had a reason for halo to be in our hearts. And these songs remind me of the good and simpler times in gaming. I’m glad we can all cry together and just look back on the games and still be happy about it.
deference for darkness will always just hit the spot
true..
Damn I never thought I would be at this point in my life. Reminiscing the past at a young age. When I was a kid I thought I would achieve things but here I am depressed, alone, and doing nothing. Halo 2 and Reach hit me hard. Experiencing those games with my sister and brother was amazing. I miss Halo...
Sometimes I like to walk around halo Reach custom maps and just reminisce all the good times I had playing with friends.
The Saddest moment for me? the realization that future generations will never understand what Halo has done for us. What Bungie created in our childhood/young adulthood is such a defining moment for so many people.
Kids today sitting in 4th period right now, will never understand that feeling, booting up Halo 3 for the first time, Finishing the Fight, all the way to Remembering Reach.
They will just get half-baked garbage pies from 343 or whoever decides to own the franchise later.
had to come back here since Halo is basically on its last legs now
Maybe it's better if it does die, and be passed on into legend.
I'd much rather have it be that way than have it butchered like most modern game franchises.
God the memories- They're nice.. When songs bring good pain..
20 years since Halo CE first released, time flies by so quick.
too quick me thinks. oh hell whatever i still try to enjoy what we have now and im glad i enjoyed it with you spartans as well before
thanks for playing everyone! it was a a Journey I will never regret making =]
Now this made halo feel very dark and girrty and emotional as it always should of felt nice thinking.
Thank you. I feel this is more sad and emotional to me then someone who’s just started to play a couple months ago, because I literally grew up playing Halo I feel that I have a strong love for halo and a connection with chief. My dream has always been to be “the hero” or something like that like everyone but I always fantasize about having custom spartan armor, I sacrifice myself for the greater good for humanity to live on. But that’s just a fantasy just electrons going through a few vessels in a brain spread out through 7 billon other people. Who’s to say there isn’t life in the infinite space or is space just an endless void waiting for humans to evolve waiting for the end of all life on a single planet for the end of all light or is it something bigger life if you’re christian then you believe in something bigger but I won’t get into too much religion for this is only a video about music even though it’s something small it spreads an idea, a fantasy, an escape from reality, but what if it was possible then it wouldn’t be a fantasy anymore it would be a truth in someway we don’t know if life exists or not but if it does is it smarter or is it less smart is it humanoid or No? the covenant might exist but there’s no way to find out is there unless there is but I won’t find it now maybe I will long from now but I’m just living my life dreaming about my fantasies everyday while you read this comment made of data that appears to the human eye because of light etc but you are reading this comment because you made it to here.
Thank you for attending my comment thank *you* for reading my whole comment ❤️
@Dangerous path wow that was….amazing
Well, I don't know if some day you could be able to be a Spartan, but if you have the will, I'm sure you'll be a hero
Make us feel proud brother
@@tomlopez4081 thank you 🙏 😊 o7 for all humanity
Halo as a game always reminds me of what video games mean to us sometimes it means fun times with our loved ones who may no longer be here or the story of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds halo as a community is a great show of creativity sportsmanship and skill sometimes there’s issues but in general most of are United by the experience and I’m glad to be a part of all of it
Does anyone just sit here with the halo soundtrack playing just thinking about the easier days with you mates, online cause you was the outcast AND NOW Sitting here at the age 26 smiling with a tear in there eye or just me HAHA. Halo was my life when young, i will never forget this game the smiles, the laughs and just the joy it gave me when saw that loading screen...
THANK YOU HALO, thank you chief, thank you echo 419 and thank you bungie
My best friend and I played Halo 3 together. It was the first Halo game we ever picked up and got instantly hooked and bought the others.
She passed away about a year ago (drunk driver). And I can't separate Halo from the friendship she gave me. Especially the song "Keep What You Steal" from Halo 3, I'm a grown ass man but it seriously brings me to tears everytime I fucking hear it.
I miss you so much Samantha, whenever I see you again, we can play: "Just One More Game." Like you used to say. Rest in Peace.
Rip Love you man
May God rest her soul! Sorry for your loss! May these games and songs always remind you of the nice moments you shared together!
stop lying
@@lockdatthugup29 get on somewhere else with your bullshit
I'm sorry bud.
" Thank you we couldn't have done it without you "
couldn’t have done it*
I'll never forget when I arrived to the US and my family struggled to find a place to call home, Halo 2 was one of the first games we touched when we got here, and we played offline multiplayer so much with each other we were sick of it. Ramming the purple tank into the scorpion and watching the scorpion fly into space. It's been more than 10 years now, and I cherish the memory I made then.
Remembering the days where you played halo 2,3,odst, reach with youre brother and remembering how beautiful it was and the music is just masterpieces thanks mate🤙🏽
This game signifies a much simpler time in life. A time we took for granted. When everything was still new and exciting. It's funny how the past felt like everything always meant something. Like we were supposed to be where we were meant to be. Now it feels lost drifting in space. I long to go back. I long to wish but the momentum forward is unchanging. Only my Brain is left, longing to relive the past because now life is cold, dark, and alone. I wish I could learn to feel again. But I am numb more so than ever before. I feel nothing
All is not yet lost Spartan. Hope yet remains...
The Halo saga will always make me remember the beautiful moments lived with my big brother Luis Enrique. Video games are very special to generate great bonds in the family... RIP
Halo series was more than just a game. I never had the chance to play it in its prime. But when I bought MCC on PC, I discovered a universe unknown to me. Something truly amazing.
Not just a soldier against an army, and the hope of humanity resting on his shoulders, but a man too, broken at his core. John lost many, had to let go of so much, and yet was expected to do more. He could have snaped, completely stop at any point, and he didn't.
Some say the Master Chief lostbhis humanity due to the Spartan II project, i beg to differ. I think he's the most human being. He continued the fight, past his time, past his limits, past his emotions for he was needed. For he was able to do it, and not another one who might die.
He was cold at first. But slowy, thanks to Cortona and later the Weapon in Infinite, he began to express more. He went ahead and beyond what was expected from him. And never ask anything back. But maybe he was. Asking what you may ask. I don't know.
He is a spark, the one that light the fire burning deep inside of everyone humans. This fire is the embodiement of Humanity. Some fuel it with vengeance, anger, hatred. Others fuel it with will, duty, and hope.
When we played... when you played this game, have you felt it? This fire within you, transcending the screen. Have you ever found yourselves, wondering about life, about the future, about you and others after playing a mission? Have you ever paused the game and just went outside? Have you ever just stopped thinking and simply listened to the music of Halo?
I did. And I regret nothing.
Be well, Brothers and Sisters of Halo. We may have never met, but we share this bond of loving this game. This game that was more than just a game. No matter our age, or the day we started playing it.
Dude put a heart on year old video 2hours after i posted a response. You're great man! Thanks.
The reach music hit me HARD 😢
I miss the old days
I wish I felt that feeling
This game is so important to me. I shall keep its name alive as long as I live 🫡
Early 8am mornings when I was 4 I would open this game and as I waited for my father to come to play the campaign again with me for the hundredth time that week I didn't think to much of it when the sweet sound of New Alexandria faded in. I played this game for 6 years with that man until he had lost his battle to pneumonia. Now when I open the game and hear that sound I cry, the game doesn't feel the same for me anymore, it feels empty, like I was missing a teammate on the noble team.
I'm sorry bud.
Hope your doin well
Never Forget from Halo 3 it always makes me feel something special
Every halo song reminds us that we can not victory the war. But still, we realize have last hope.
This is the type of music that is for stress relief, to sleep, to study, and just to listen to.
Composed and produced by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori - These two men really gave it their all creating this amazing music - Bungie FOREVER
"don't let her go,don't EVER let her go". That line has stuck with me.
It's wild, as we sit here looking back at our lives we wonder did we accomplish what we should have. Did we do what was needed to be done? Skipping so many parties and lifestyles to sit back and grind the years out of Halo, Gears & Cod. Thank you for the video takes me back. To all those reading this. Be Safe & Happy New Year!
I really think Ashes from Reach should be included in this. The saddest most emotional track in any halo in my opinion.
This music def brings back memories of friends I've lost through the years due to time and growing up. I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on this series and will probably never forget the amazing moments I had with it.
For our fellow Spartans... and Elites...
Don't be sad about the current state of halo......be happy about the unbelievable time's it brought gaming as a whole.
It will always be....... legendary.
Back then there was no disk downloads, just put the disk in and play let the memories we know and love today grow in our hearts as we listen to this soundtrack and relive those nostalgic moments.
Whenever I listen to Halo music, I feel like I am one of the people living in the Halo universe. Imagine being one of the person living in one of the multiple planets humanity has been able to reach. You do not know where and what your fellow species living in the other planets are doing. You just know that they are very very far away from you. And here you are, standing on one of the valleys of a massive planet, from your home window, you are able to see the two moons that outshine the night sky, the cold breeze that touches your body, the countless people who are living out there with their families without any specific goal in their mind apart from just 'surviving'... That feeling of deep insecurity... The feeling of being insignificant in the universe...
We remember. We will always remember. No surrender.
Visiting this video because my uncle passed 3 days ago. He showed me halo when i was a kid, let me win against him, and thats how halo became one of my favorite games to date. And honestly he made me enjoy games, its one of my favorite hobbies. Rest In Peace Uncle
I'm sorry for your loss...

The strings swelling and harmonizing at the beginning of Never Forget always gives me goosebumps

Well there is 55 heretics among us
Now 68
I wish I cared more about the story of the older halo games when I first played them. I’ve been a fan of halo since my dad showed me Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, but I had never experienced any of the games properly. At this same time I was introduced to the internet, and my foolish younger self spoilt every single one of them. Halo Infinite’s campaign will, in a way, be the first campaign I truly experienced.
Halo 2 and 3 will forever have a special place in my Heart❤️
Half of these songs remind me of when I first entered the world of gaming. I got an Xbox 360 when I was younger, and halo 3 was the first-ever game I had ever played on the 360. Playing halo for the first time, was probably the best experience I’ve had with gaming back then
Writing an essay on why I think my life is perfect and this really got me in the feels
When I was a kid I beat every Halo game on legendary without dying, every single game. This music reminds me of how awesome I am. Good times that was.
might be a year or so late, but I just wanted to vent off some sadness that have lingered on my mind for so long.
the word halo doesn't exactly ring alot to some people I know, but for those who grew up with me. it was a game, but just not anyother game at the time. it was glorious, magnificent, the story compelling.
me and the old crew first booted up the halo reach demo when i first got my 360 in 2010, we always wanted to play more and more despite me not having the full game. nonetheless we spent hours competing over who's surviving the longest against the infinite waves of AI that would spawn on that demo if you lingered on the beach for too long.
whilst during that time, we were "new" to the game, we didn't know jack-shit to do. we all sprawled around like chickens stressing over loud sounds. it seemed to go on for hours, however as soon as the clock striked bed time, my mother came and said it was time for sleep as I didn't want to miss out on school.
later, my father allowed me to use his card to buy halo 3. I called my best friend Mimir(who sooner left the crew, and eventually sparked a bit of unrest and division in the group)
he and I loaded up the halo 3 campaign, boom those words said by Cortana and what seemed to be Chief striking down towards the surface we were struck by surprise as we saw the arbiter allying up with 117.
i only played halo 2 on pc a bit as i accidently played it on legendary as a kid. forget that for now.
as we discussed more and more, the boys would gather up at my place, boom 4 players on the couch, some in chairs watching each other fall in custom games. i am pretty sure that was our "glory" and "golden" days. it wouldn't go too long until I got my hands on minecraft and halo 4 for the dust machine, sure halo 4 got bombarded by critics as a lousy attempt by 343. however, my friends sure as hell enjoyed it and we always rotated on which game to play on the 360.
as 2015 rolled on, this is what i would deem as the passing finale of our tale, our legacy. battlefield hardline would release and i got it on launch day. my best mate, player 2 got it mid autumn. we promised eachother we would protect one another incase of emergency, promised we would go to war with eachother(as if ww3 will ever approach) and most important: NEVER lie and betray one another.
those promises still sits with me today, as if they never aged and more as a testimony that would be fullfilled eventually.
As the end of the year approached, he hits me with the most tragic news. He was moving back to Iceland, I just brushed it off as he was joking. but sure enough, boom. he was gone, I never got a chance to say goodbye, never to play one last Bo2 game of multiplayer splitscreen again with him.
the depressing part of those moments was that the year prior(2014) my grandad died. both of those guys were my best mates, so not getting a finale encounter and say goodbye really got a toll on me.
after he left, the memories of late night halo 3, 4 coop returned. the finale level on halo 4 taking us hours because of his lousy flying and my shitty aim. note: we played with the restart checkpoint skull on. Yikes....
as 2016-17 rolled over, fewer of my friends came to visit, less and less had contact with me and eachother. we were finally growing up, all of those hours on minecraft, bo2, halo 3, odst and 4 would remain on my hard drive till this day(except minecraft :/, but we still have the memories intact)
during those years, my "friends" that i knew way back started doing drugs and sure enough who got entangled in that mess. me.
however, in 2018 whoops. who calls? my icelandic friend, luckily for him I had a gamin laptop which is still functioning.
we would finally boot up TF2, which i played solo on the 360 in 2012 and that isn't so fun is it?
now in 2021, i gathered up most of the crew back, sure it isn't 100% back, but the few pieces of scraps in a machine is enough to keep it stabilized.
i would estimate right now: 20% are still doing drugs and/or shady stuff, 25% don't even talk to me or the crew, 10% increase of names, 15% have completely changed the way they look at me(i am relatively fit, no abs though.) it would seem they don't find me fitting as a friend in their new group. the rest....well we're back with power, but barely managing it right now.
now that Halo Infinite have released their free multiplayer, me and 3 others are having a blast returning to the pvp halo era of our childhoods, though we're a tad bit more grown up.
I could've told more in this memento, but then I would have been awake for like 4-6 hours more than what the time is right now(20:08/08:08pm)
fun fact: I was the one who introduced like 65% approximately of the old crew to each other, some backstabbing us and going their dark routes and some sticking by just incase something interesting would happen. and sure enough, as we called them they were never too far away to swing by.
if one of the old pals find this memento, remember: "That city in Minecraft will always wait for us!"
I cried reading this
Promise me, when this is all over, you’ll figure out which one of us is the machine
11:54 - 15:27 Probably the best moment in gaming music history.
