Me reading this comment before that part: nah theres no way its that powerful bullshit Me wide eyed after the video ended: what in the hell just happened to me?
Spartan IV just seems a bit jarring. I still get whiplash from it. Humanity was on the brink of destruction, the UNSC were taking desperate measures to win the war as it grew weaker everyday. With the lost of Reach, and the beating Earth took, humanity will need time to recov- oh wait, humanity now has the biggest ship in space, oh look, shielding technology, oh hey, lots of Spartans now! This happened WAY to fast, i find it hard to believe.
@veeray0 Man power is not the issue. It's the augmentation, Gen 2 armor, Shielding technology, this literally was pulled out of nowhere. We already knew a Spartan II was worth a lot, the armor alone already cost as much as a small Warship. The UNSC was in the Crapper by 2552, yet now they can pump out Super Soldiers left, right and center? So uncanny.
I like the spartan IIs and IIIs, but i also like the ODSTs and marines What i think we REALLY need more of, is the writing that brought us games like Halo 3: ODST and Halo Reach It's dark, rough and moody, but you can still see the glimmer of hope everywhere if you stop and squint Even from the start, Halo has been about Humanity surviving the odds thrown against them And it was H3: ODST and Reach that sharpened and pressed forth these points the most
@@sno7732 Halo was one of the first games i played as a child (forgot which one) and i loved it so much. to this day, i am still madly in love with halo. cant wait to play it again when i get the time
@@yasininn76not quite, the squad in ODST actually has a proper relationship within the people in it, they all know each other well and have personality, closest you're going to get with that is Emiles and Jorge relationship but thats just because Jorge is the most human, while Emile is the least human and because of that they hate each other. Other then that theres not much in reach to really note.
@@wut-se8hztrue, and the Spartans in Noble team all give off this subtle impression of inhumanity as well. Like they're all just willing to do incredibly dangerous and risky missions with no hesitation or fear whatsoever. Kind of hard to explain, but the Spartan mindset just feels like it's completely devoid of fear. When they willingly go into dangerous situations, it's not really bravery that they show, it's robotic devotion to completing the objective at any cost. Which is completely in line with spartan program lore, I might add. This isn't a criticism, it's how it should be. The ODSTs on the other hand felt like real human soldiers doing their best simply to survive a hell of a situation together and complete their limited mission. They aren't superheroes like Spartans are
Hey this is genuinely one of my facorite videos on youtube. Its like this vid was tailored for me. I love Everlong and the mixture of gameplay with live action cutscenes that sell the badassery of the ODST mixed with the horrors of war and how these are the men and women who put themselves through hell and back. That scene of the one tropper aboht to drop with a close of his face, the emotion in his eyes as he knows he is falling to his doom, yet he remains unwavered. It really does humanize these soldiers. Thank you. (I might re edit this as I worded it poorly, I am on mobile)
Heartfelt comments like these are my favourite. I just made this video because Halo is my favourite series of all time. I never expected it to get the amount of attention it did, but seeing it resonate with so many other Halo fans makes me happy
I feel like I moved on from halo, but god damn it every time I see anything that remind me of halo, the memories crash into me like a semitruck going 89mph with a drunk driver listening to jesus take the wheel
Call me sad or whatever, but the Rookie's death has the same effect in me as it does with real people I know and lost in the same way. I can't really explain it, but some time after playing ODST, I just started to view Rookie as someone I experienced the game's events alongside, a brother-in-arms, a friend, and it's like I knew the guy personally. I always had my eye on the Recon BDU, so I stopped attaching myself to him after I got that, but...years after playing the game, finding out he died, second-hand, and in a book of all things, it made me feel guilty, like I could've been there by his side to help but because of my hubris or something, I couldn't. It's like there's a hole in my heart for him, because I remember genuinely earnestly smiling watching him uncover the mystery of his team in New Mombasa, and he helped me get through a somewhat tough time, so I feel like I owe him. Yeah, he's a fictional character, but he meant a lot to me and I hate 343 for what they allowed happen to him. Hell, he's not the only character I feel this way about, either, Sayori from DDLC elicits the same emotions as he does, because with both of them I feel responsible for their deaths. They both meet their end in similar ways, metatextually or literally. It sucks. I miss you, Rookie. I'll see you again, someday. Take care of Sayori for me.
Nah man I get what you mean. Even with the lack of dialogue, you could sorta see some of his character based on his animations when inspecting clues or even the alternate cutscene on data hive after finding all audio logs where he's less on guard about the Engineer and even whistles like one to let it know he isn't a threat because he understands the situation that the Engineers are going through after listening to the audio logs. While we don't know much about his personality, there are very subtle moments. And the soundtrack of ODST helped me through some tough times so I can definitely understand where you're coming from
I'm leaving multiple comments because TH-cam won't let me edit comments and also I feel deeply about that feeling of closeness and the feeling that you could've done something different something more and they would still be here (I have tears in my eyes now)
Thank you. This, well this is a beautiful piece of human media that I will cherish for the coming years. Halo may have strayed from the Journey but you- you and all that still follow the Journey are appreciated. May the Algorithm bless you.
I appreciate the kind words. I've been a fan of the series for a very long time and I wanted to make something I'd enjoy making and I'm glad to see others like it as well. I do think Halo Infinite had a rough start but I think it's headed on the right track now and I'm pretty excited for KOTH Firefight to be added to the game later this season
@@bluephoenix7565 because of how small my channel is, comments are easy to keep track of, so almost any comment will probably get a heart lol. I'm just happy people enjoy my videos even tho I don't have an actual upload schedule haha
I kind of wish we had a Halo game from the perspective of the Marines; something where you are fighting to survive against overwhelming odds against an enemy that seems damn near unstoppable to you, but is easy prey to Spartans and ODSTs. It would be a survival type game in my mind where you rely on med-packs to survive and have to resort to unusual tactics to beat back the covenant.
Rookie Died as he lived... at the mercy of the world. silent. watching. forced into hell unexpectedly by ONI, brutally hunted by the covenant alone and afraid, guided only by the dying superintendent. he discovers the secret of mombasa in data hive, and kills that damn officer. he makes it through, and saves the first of many engineers. then he makes it out of the war. then, he's pulled to the insurrection war, where when put into the hands of the friend he trusted so much, one who was given second chances by all, one who was thought redeemed... Mickey might as well have pulled the damn trigger. the friends rookie worked hard to save. to reuinite with throughout Mombasa. Rest in peace rookie. a Saint in a flock of Sinners.
ODST's are my favorite part of Halo. 3 ODST is my favorite Halo. I love how down to earth everything is. How fragile and human you are in it. ODSTs > Spartans.
even though Everlong isn't my favourite foo fighters song (Don't get me wrong i still love it, my personal favourite is just something else) it still slaps so hard for this kind of thing, and the thematic elements of ODST are captured perfectly by the passion and the pain in those chords. Also can we just appreciate that even though this is technically a spinoff, it's still just as mindblowingly epic as any other main series installment? 0:50 still looks just as amazing as some of the big moments in the main series.
