OORAH!

Ooh rah

HOO-RAH!

And it helps that some of them are memes.

And to think that the script (and voice audio!) is still OG in the remastered version! It still fits so well. Bungie killed it

Halo 2 is the prequel trilogy of Halo.

@@dkkanofkash8798 halo 3 infinite and ce are the main trilogy while reach, 4 and 5 are the sequels

@@caramelcandys no reach is a prequel the order of main games is reach, CE, 2, ODST, 3, 4, 5, infinite and non main has halo wars before Reach by alot and halo wars 2 is after 5 but before infinite.

Plus there wasn't gameplay disadvantages with playing h2a unlike hcea. I cannot fathom how many times I shot into a cliffside in hcea just because it's not there in the remaster

halo ce:a looks rushed and not taken carefully well

Nah it still botches the atmosphere and art design in certain places, look again. The cutscenes are cool though.

The one issue I had with it is the cutscenes. I didn't like how much faster they moved than the original, I felt like I was rushed.

@@jeremyabrahamson2872 When each minute costs up to a million, you’ve gotta speed the cutscenes up

@Brandon Quist If God is loooove, then you can call me Cupid!

@Derrickspartan1 because that is the plot of the odst dlc. I don’t know if I’d agree about “amazing” but odst is definitely a fun playthrough

I also love the way they die. Regret: Killed by Masterchief, who regrets the loss of his fellow Spartans, his family. Mercy: Killed by the Flood, who are entirely without mercy. Truth: Killed by the Arbiter, who wants his people to know the truth.

@@huwick7993 I viewed it as Regret died regretting his invasion, Mercy died being shown none by his companions. And Truth died believing his own lies.

And then regroup themselves by the events of HW2 and Infinite

@@Darkdayzz the Banished don't represent all the Brutes collectively, like the Covenant did. They're a splinter group, a mercenary company. While there are tons of Brutes in the Banished there are many who have not joined

@@Darkdayzz the banished was around at this time, they became their own faction in 2549, the banished may have a Jiralhanae leader but they consist of all the primary races of the Covenant and also humans, the main reason why they haven't been seen in game (halo 4 and 5) is only due to the faction of covenant we were at war with Jul 'Mdama's covenant just had very few Jiralhanae as post halo 3 after 2552 there was still wars going on between the Sangheili and the Jiralhana

And in the novels it's perfectly understandable as to why the brutes hate the elites. In Contact Harvest especially we get to see first hand how shittily the brutes get treated by other members of the Convanent

This just adds more gravitas to Atriox and his formation of the Banished. Atriox unite some of his people and even some of the splinter groups from the Covenant.

"Thanks.. He never gets me anything."

@@TacComControl * Draws cigar * "Oh, I know what the ladies like"

So its lost on you that the religion is a lie and the prophets are false gods? Mirroring reality where religion is false, again just lies told by people millennia ago to control the population with fear.

@@WrechedStuff See, Religion isn't a lie, but real things are used by the manipulative. You can't manipulate something that doesn't exist, that's not how people work. A basic study of most abusive relationships can tell you that, they're almost always predicated on existing insecurities and trauma, which are then exploited by the abusers. Saying religion is a lie is both a massive oversimplification of the concept and a flat out error, as no religions on the planet are lies, even the false ones.

@@WrechedStuff Yeeeaaahhh... the Halo franchise isn't preaching religion as a whole is a lie. Just the Covenants particular religion. You're imprinting your own beliefs onto it, little buddy.

@@WrechedStuff I mean the irony is that the Forerunners are real. Its just the Covenant utterly misinterpreted them. Its like worshiping Q in Star Trek.

@@CT_Phipps Come to think of it (memory kind of hazy), wasn't the religion one of the Sanghili initially, and appropriated bythe San'Shyuum? So pre-Covenant, ironically, it could have been pretty accurate to the big picture, and then just corrupted when they brought the outside influence in. Of anything, it's a commentary on ensuring you know what your religion teaches and whether that's historically consistent.

These cutscenes literally look better than most games right now, even Halo 5 lol. The reason they haven’t gone with them going forward is because how expensive they are lol, and rightly so

@Brandon Quist oh I agree lol I wouldn’t care to pay more, that’s just why they haven’t done more with them

@@Marshall1026 probably would’ve made development a lot longer since they made their own engine for the campaign in infinite so going from one engine for gameplay and one for cutscenes probably wouldn’t have been the easiest on development. That being said those cutscenes look absolutely amazing and definitely would be well received in the future

@@badjuh1788 very true

This aged poorly

Same! absolutely loved the dynamic of seeing it from both sides, getting to see more of the covenant. Plus, Arbiter is my favourite character, and this is where i got my gaming/online name from!!

Me and my friend were playing it coop when it came out in 04, I remember seeing beforehand in an online article a spoiler screenshot that was very obviously a purple 'crosshair' so I went in strongly believing: "We probably play as an Elite". So we see the prologue and Arby getting branded as heretic and I say: "We'll be playing that guy" and he said "No way". Then we finish the Earth bit, the cutscene goes to the Phantom and he goes "Hey wait a minute". Then we get control and we swing the plasma sword for about half a minute cause we're beyond hype at that point.

I was like 5 or 6 and I remember absolutely losing my mind and saying “I get to play as THEM?!?!” A cherished childhood moment. Still makes me smile when I reflect back on it.

I’m playing through the HALO games for the first time, and I had the same reaction when I got to that section in the game

same, though. I loved it.

same I had halo 2 for the xbox 360 but the disc was scratched when I asked my parents :(

Nice. Always great seeing people get into it these days and seeing what their opinion of it is. I started the series back in 2002, and when each game after CE came out I played at release . Really was an awesome time. Especially looking back now, seeing how influential and big to gaming it was.

Halo 3/reach is a masterpeice so you have many good things ahead of you

@@liamliae4254 I'm VERY excited to play reach for the first time, it's the one everybody talks about

Reach is honestly my favorite halo game ever made

enjoy the ride!

I know neither did I but I want to try it For myself

Hes imune due to a disease related to covi plasma weapons. Basically his nervous system constantly changes frequency so flood cant mimic it

@@Someone-lg6di That's the official story to cover up for being a Spartan 1.

Johnson is not immune. What Halsey says in First Strike is not true or fact. Breaking Quarantine, a part of the Halo Graphic novel that shows how Johnson escape, has Johnson never touched by the flood. The foreword points out that Bungie did not see flood immunity as canon and Flood immunity is not real.

@@tylerellis9097 which is a literal retcon. As in the original cutscene we see Johnson descended upon just like the entire group with infection forms on him. In addition to fighting through waves of flood not being infected by any blood/spores/physical attacks as has been established to infect almost every other species, including for the forerunners. As well as in the explanation for Johnson's plasma grenade related jumbled nervous system along with the Orion augments, came before the graphic novel (2006 vs first strike in 2003) which established the retcon. Instead of wanting him to make him a badass for surviving a process and engagement he should not have and the passed on benefits allowing him to survive being his reward, and made him just a standard marine only more badass. Much more lackluster, and makes Chief's reason to not hand over all flood data, have no weight whatsoever or make sense. And while there is no true immunity like you said, some species are highly resistant to infection and some are theorized at not being able to be infected at all, for example the Lekgolo worms that make up the hunters.

@@RepressedMemories16 How is it a retcon? 1. We see Infection Forms get on him in CE not drill into him, breaking Quarantine also has an infection form get on him but he rips it off before it drills into him. 2. Halsey is not Fact, Johnson being immune was just what Halsey thought with no actual proof , characters in Halo turn out to be wrong all the time. That’s different than the 3p narrator saying it. 3. Nylund books are filled with contradictions that contradict statements in the games. Bungie and later 343 never wanted flood immunity to exist. First Strike has Chief Encounter Brutes for the first time which contradicts H2. 4. Lekgolo worms don’t have a nervous system. Indeed Lekgolo, Engineers And Prometheans can’t be infected, but can still be used as Biomass.

In true Halo fashion, shoving vehicles through doors

Me too lmfao

Close, but those lines are actually in Trochaic Heptameter. Trochee is basically the opposite of an iamb, where it's a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed. Iambic meters are very Shakespearean but Trochee was the favourite of Edgar Allan Poe, it just has that creepy haunted heartbeat vibe.

this might be the nerdiest exchange i've seen in a while good job, lads

Okay, whether it's Iambic or Trochaic, it's one of my video game voice crushes, I could listen to that voice for hours (and kinda have already); Dee Bradley Baker is unreal. I definitely want to create a character who speaks like him...

Fun Fact his voice Actor is Dee Bradley Baker

@@kreigguardsman3355 Yup! 😁

IDK, Halo ODST is out there too, for me...

Michael Wincott? Yeah it's unfortunate he didn't want to return.

Watched Noodle's video on Halo Anniversary have you?

There are only 2 things I don't like in Halo 2's Anniversary graphics: 1) Slipspace portals. The glowing smoke looks okay, but the black void orb surrounded by a deep blue haze like in Halo 3 and Reach is a much better look. Same with the black vortex with a neon blue swirling fringe around it in Halo 4 and 5. 2) Cortana's ingame model. Holy shit it looks so janky. Like she's fine in cutscenes but what were they thinking for the model during gameplay? Also her color should've been less teal and more indigo like it was in the original Halo 2, but otherwise her cutscene model looks great.

Nah I still prefer classic, Anniversary messed up the Uprising Cutscene

@@genericnobody after I already had my own opinions, yes. He's not the only person who thinks ce anniversary kinda sucks. Its like they just went model by model making higher quality versions without actual considering how it would all fit together. With 2, they seemed to have realised their mistakes and corrected them. And then there's blur studios, I've yet to see them make something that isn't amazing

This is probably very rude and I am sorry if it is but curiosity killed the cat. Are you still religious?

Your third eye has officially been opened

@@polarbearm252mclachlan8 nah it's all good and I don't mind answering. No, I am no longer religious in any way. My previous experiences have left me distrustful of all organised religions entirely.

@@iboughtmeth1384 nah just my first two eyes lmao.

@@cullubbowzer8095 I had the same experience as you. I had a crisis of faith through Arbiter's story as well, but I actually came out with a stronger belief in God after. I understand where you are coming from though, but I would advise you continue searching, as you may actually find that there is a truth in religion. I've noticed that a lot of people who blindly followed religion in their past only to reject their faith later turn around and blindly follow hatred and disbelief in religion instead, resulting in the same problem as before. Try to keep an open mind, and see it from a middle perspective. You'll be better for it.

I’ve always just hopped up on the building and gunned them down with the machine gun. It seems like it’s more powerful then the warthog turrets and you can get both hunters down in like 20 seconds

I am glad to see someone with same opinion as me! I honestly don't like the Warthog Run as concepts anyway (though they are admittedly uniquely Halo). I got WAY more satisfaction beating Tartarus than I did the Run.

You can save a bad level with fun and intelligent enemy encounters. Halo 2 doesn't have that unfortunately. It has sniper jackals.

@@KnoxCarbon Halo 2 has alot of things, but it's still a great game

One problem HIGH CHARITY the fucking flood

Na halo 3s campaign wasn't as good as the 2nd or 1st

@@Ibrahim-wr5fs Imo.....Halo 3s Campaign shits all over 2 and CEs. And my favorite campaign/game is H2 but don’t lie it’s one of the worst designed in the franchise.

@@tylerellis9097 disagree, that's a new take lol I ain't seen anyone say 3s campaign is better then 2 or ce, 2s story and voice acting and lines are levels above 3 and ce is literally near perfect

@@tylerellis9097 3´s campaign is trash compared to 2's when it comes to story, dialogue, and innovation. Still, 3 has better maps and more refined gameplay

@@tylerbaldwin3269 yeah. Narrator seasons 1-3, bbeg 3-onwards.

Okay weirdo
