I this video i can understand that Master Chief is becoming old, and he starting to have difficulty even in basic combat, like killing an elites with two punch
Honestly I found this games LASO fairly easy. The promethean knights from our playthrough just wanted to keep trying to throw their grenades at us and it's rly easy to bash them in the back. I would say this is the easiest besides ODST
The flying segment on Midnight.. dude I feel your guys' pain. That is a certified bitch on co-op with those garbage ass load/kill zones. 343 did everything in their power to make H4 non-co-op friendly.
@@DetroitOddballs really! I’ve done all the speed run achievements and The laso achievements are the only ones I haven’t done, that’s why I’ve been vicariously doing it by watching you guys do it. I’ll be there.
@@jiffbombastic3694 Like the Carbine. Slapping a green thing on it and removing the actually functional ammo counter. Like why make things practical? lmao
After playing through nearly every main Halo game (I refuse to play 5, and I'm not a fan of RTS's, so I haven't played either Halo Wars) I can honestly say that Halo 4 is not nearly as bad as many people made it out to be. Is it cheap? Sure. Is it frustrating that every single promethean knight can just push the auto-fail button whenever they want? Of course. Is it severely upsetting that, despite having such a giant weapon sandbox, you're almost always limited to subpar ammo for necessary weapons and scores of leagues of suppressors and boltshots? 100%. But did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Having played only a few campaign missions in Halo 2 many years ago, and a more significant amount of Reach (almost exclusively solo firefight, infection, and team swat matchmaking), my knowledge of the series was very limited for a very long time. After being inspired to properly enter the series, I bought my own copy of Halo CE and Halo 2 for the original XBox. I played them on easy or normal, as it was what I was used to when it came to Halo, and seeing as I always loved playing the easier difficulties, since they were more relaxing and less stressful. I played through the two games, and fell in love all over again. I got into watching Halo youtubers, watched Red vs Blue over and over, and finally got a 360 to play all these games that I've wanted for so long. One of which was Halo 3. 3 words: *Zoo.* *Wee.* *Mama.* Dass a spicy-a meat-a ball-a. At some point down the line, I don't remember when exactly, I finally gave Halo 2 legendary a shot. I knew what I was getting into, watched many rant videos, and one particular guide for "The Arbiter". Was, is, and always will be, my favorite level in Halo 2, and the first that I completed on legendary. Boy was I proud of myself. I played through all of Halo 3 on legendary, A brilliant experience, which only gets easier and easier each time I attempt it. I put off Halo CE legendary since I heard it was one of the hardest, and I knew it was a nearly 2-decade-old game, and would have some considerable jank. From then on, it became such that I could only play Halo on legendary. After beating Halo 3, I got and beat ODST. After beating Halo 2, I began slowly working on both CE and Reach. As for Reach, I didn't get very far considering I always hated the floaty behavior of the elites. Those sword elites really boil my blood as well. Currently, I have all but the last three levels of CE complete, having put it down for some time after getting a little too heated at "Two Betrayals". I plan on finishing it soon, but not for right now. At that point, I was rewatching RvB season 11 and figured I'd put it off long enough, and decided to give Halo 4 a chance. I played the first mission on heroic to get some idea of the sandbox, then replayed it, then played the rest of the game on legendary. By level 3, I made the decree to my friends that "Halo 4 officially sucks." I kept playing, extremely frustrated by the promethean enemies' behavior, until level 4, Infinity, where I got stuck at the wave defense section without adequate ammo to survive. I raged until I gave up for the night, and continued the next day. It was down to pure luck whether or not I would survive this section, wave after wave after wave, with no sign of any checkpoint incoming. After I finally beat the section, I continued on with the rest of the game, considering I was already about halfway through it. Level 5, my least favorite had despawned every single weapon I tried to strategize with in the first section with the wraiths, ghosts, and phantom. After trying many times in a row, I finally found a pattern that worked, and went on. I wanted to take a ghost with me, so I hopped in one that I had saved and tried to carry on. The mammoth went right over the extremely shallow water, so I drove my ghost over. You know, the ghost, which hovers over water? Yeah, I immediately exploded and got sent to the beginning of the section yet again. But after all of that. After everything. Despite the glitches, the jank, the at-times horrible level design, something unexpected happened. I started having a lot of fun. Level 6 had some annoying moments on the gondolas, but I started getting used to fighting the prometheans. I had one especially irritating moment where there was a troop of covenant below me, mostly grunts but a few jackals and one elite. I could pop some grunts and one or both jackals, but then the elite would charge me and I didn't have a weapon that could quickly pop its shields, so it would kill me. Once or twice, it ended up sneaking up on me anyway, but the most infuriating part was the two promethean knights that were keeping me behind the shifting cover. A ranger with the light rifle, and another with the suppressor. Knights with suppressors are usually a non-issue, but the only way I could get it out of cover was to move closer, where the covenant couldn't catch me off guard, but the ranger would move around, making it impossible to find cover as the other knight would charge me, getting too close for the suppressor's inaccuracy to take effect, killing me quickly. Not really significant, it was just the perfect level design for me to be 100% boned with no guaranteed method of safety so I had to rant about it. That being said, the rest of the level was actually fairly enjoyable. Level 7 was easily my favorite, as it was all covenant, and it featured my new favorite toy in the Halo 4 sandbox; the sticky detonator. Even on legendary, it completely wipes out even higher-ranking elites with a direct hit, and can even take out an entire squad of grunts or jackals with it if aimed/timed just right. I was having fun for that entire level. As for the final level, I wasn't a fan of the flying section, but wasn't particularly bad. I never like those kinds of sections in any game, even Saints Row 4 and Jak 3, both of which I love. After that, though, it was a pretty standard slog through many many firefights. By this point, I had the strategy for fighting knights down pretty well, and could more easily survive the more effective, yet suicidal strategies, such as using the gravity hammer even when it isn't viable to do so, or running straight at them with the scattershot to pop their shields, then hit them with a quick headshot. While using those strategies, I openly welcomed knights to charge at me with their blades, making it all the more satisfying to kill them. By the time it was all over, I almost wished there was more. I really don't want to come across as having a more refined taste, or that all the haters are just Bungie-stans. There is ample enough reason to hate Halo 4. There are many times where it straight-up doesn't even feel like a halo game. I'm just trying to get across my much-more-positive-than-average experience with the game, and suggest that you play it again, and try to find more fun and enjoyable strategies, rather than the most viable ones. You just might have at least a little more fun, and at the end of the day, isn't that exactly what all of us want out of Halo? Thank you for reading this super long comment, TL;DR, I recognize that, while not that great, I enjoyed Halo 4 a lot more than most, and hope you do too.
Oh, and hot-take, I have no problem with the story. At all. On the surface, Captain Del Rio just seems like a stubborn, bitter man, but if you look at the game from his perspective, it tells a different story: This weird forerunner planetoid is sending a UNSC distress signal, let's investigate. Holy crap, it just sucked us in and trapped us. We come into contact with the ancient Sierra-117, a living legend and war hero who was supposed to be dead for 4 years. Turns out, he was in cryo-sleep for that long, which cannot be good for the brain, especially considering Spartans, particularly Spartan-II's, are known for having psychopathic tendencies. With him is the failing Cortana AI, one year overdue for rampancy. They make wild claims about a living forerunner entity with universe-destroying power. It's safe to say probably 3/5 of my entire crew has been annihilated. We need backup. We fend off this strange vehicle one single time. Master Chief and Cortana insist on chasing after it because "He's vulnerable". No, I'm not sending more dozens of soldiers to die on a whim. Chief and Cortana destroy the giant AA cannons in level 5, allowing the infinity to escape and get help. At the same time, Chief has yet another tall tale about another forerunner entity that zapped him with some magic blue juice. Yeah, no. We're leaving and coming back with the might of the entire UNSC to stop this thing. Cortana, an AI, screams at me and shorts out nearby electronics. I order a soldier to remove the AI, as per UNSC law so that she won't cause any more damage. Chief takes Cortana. Uh oh. This crazy 9-foot tall hunk of 9-ton awesomeness just took the malfunctioning AI and is now going to lead even more of my men and women into slaughter. Panic. Order another marine to arrest Chief WHICH IS NOT ONLY WITHIN MY RIGHT AS CAPTAIN, BUT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY SO THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILIES DON'T DIE UNNECESSARILLY, ALMOST LIKE THAT'S MY ENTIRE FREAKIN' JOB. Sorry for yet another rant, but people were so salty about Captain Del Rio's actions, never once considering that just because the audience knows something is true, doesn't mean that an important character will put hundreds of lives on the line based on nothing but the word of an crazy old Spartan-II and a broken AI.
Honestly you guys inspired me to start trying to beat some LASO campaigns with my best friend. But thanks to that I no longer have a best friend...
I this video i can understand that Master Chief is becoming old, and he starting to have difficulty even in basic combat, like killing an elites with two punch
actually b/c of his augmentations, the master chief will most likely serve longer than Johnson
@@ConservativeWhiteMan741 Obviously, Johnson is fucking dead.

Welp. Here I go watching this series again.
I sure do love watching this series.
I can't wait for you guys to experience the absolute torture of Spartan Ops LASO
1:45 Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought that was glass.

we just gonna ignore this storyline in the description?
should of sent her to geek squad
Most channels: 720p60, 1080p60
This channel: 1080p50
hahahah I had no idea I rendered this out in 1080p50. The source videos are only 30fps.
Me and my buddy started halo 4 laso earlier. Took us about 3 hours to finish the second level.
It takes a ton of patience for sure.
The description story is so emotional. What a masterpiece.
Ending time of all the levels
0:47 - Dawn
1:57 - Requiem
3:40 - Forerunner
4:55 - Infinity
6:25 - Reclaimer

14:02 - Midnight
Hello and welcome back to "How many times can we team kill?"
so many glorious nade deaths
7:48 - This moment has happened to me in one variation or another too many god damn times on my LASO runs. Time for Halo 4, not looking forward to it
The description is hillarious
I come back to these videos all the time and I’m laughing the whole time you guys bring the true laso experience ❤️
7:48 they said: "Hi welcome to Chillie's" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both of you continue to be braver than I am so I will watch you play LASO instead of doing it myself.
I don’t need to watch your videos to know that I’ll like it anyway
7:48 "Hello sir, did you ever heard about our lord and savior the SWORD ?"
I'm a simple man. I see a Detroit Oddballs video and I like it.
That pfp is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I love how he takes a piss at the end
The flying segment on Midnight.. dude I feel your guys' pain. That is a certified bitch on co-op with those garbage ass load/kill zones. 343 did everything in their power to make H4 non-co-op friendly.
Now go for the monopolised achievement together

ODST next? Love the videos guys!
We've already done ODST. Check our past videos.
@@DetroitOddballs whaaaat!? Oh yeh my dumbass, I already watched it
Halo Wars 1/2 LASO?
I only now noticed that many of the vehicles just use the reach models.
thats because they used the same engine and gave it a new coat of paint
@@paudan1284 they just had to touch things they shouldn’t have.
@@jiffbombastic3694 Like the Carbine. Slapping a green thing on it and removing the actually functional ammo counter.

Fun fact: the negative points you get when both chief's die is the area code for my twin island republic.
These videos make me feel bad for playing on easy as a kid
How could you hate reclaimed. I this that mission is fucking cool!
Im watching the achivement hunter guys do this while comparing times. You guys beat them out on alot of levels
Wasn't it fun?
...It was something...
"It was...somethin"
Excellent description lmao
Congrats dudes!, what challenges lies ahead?
I love these videos
loved the video!
ALREADY?? WHAT
This was done previously on xbox haha. Not pc
Should I try this on SLASO?
