Coronel Akono menttia's speech...gives me chills every time

lve that speech

A doomed division on a dying world. One of my favorite fictional speeches.

Hell yeah!!!!!

Jack Nelson it's because you are proud that some humans came up with such a beautiful story

thats because the whole theme behind the original Halo was depicting the best humanity has to offer. Bravery, Cunning, Resilience, Resolve, Heroism. Its a beautiful thing to behold.

Cynical Sergal Amen o7

Its more than that. Its HALO

ikr

Was that out of Ghosts of Onyx?

+Anthony Rintala no it was from Halo Evolutins Essential Tales Of The Halo Universe. But Onyx was a good book :)

Shadowcast Oh cool, I thought that the part where they set of the Nuclear bomb in the covenant ship.

Shadowgamer464 I want a halo space set RTS like homeworld and you fight with or as Cole

I want a Halo Game Like Dreadnaught or Fractured Space, where you control UNSC and Covenant ships.

its not 2 hours but there is one

you should watch the museum of humanity ad's then

I've seen the Halo 3 ads but it would be cool if someone could do a full length version

yes I'm with you

Yeeeessssss

Halo Wars just looked badass in general

Halo Wars is badass in general XD the hype for Halo Wars 2 is fucking real.

Onion j nm 16

+The343freak// Yeah, the potential is BIG. I want to read the novels, doe.

+Marcos Pradel the novels are pretty awesome, especially Ghosts of Onyx.

+TheArmAGeek harvest is one of the best Halo books

the best Halo novel still is "Battle for Reach". The other novels are awesome, too, but nothing comes close to the first with Master Chief "growing" into his squad. Blue Team, HOO-AH!

The343freak I want a halo game that takes the free world approach, like Skyrim or Fallout. PS: Fuck Destiny. Its just a halo rip off. (Granted, it is fun.)

Mackenzie Braden and this my friend is only covering the story from the games and a small amount of lore... Much more to be read

WarmasterBlade Exactly. Halo goes so far in-depth and has so much lore that its hard to keep up with sometimes.

Mackenzie Braden I own and have read every single halo novel....I'm a lore junky.... Can't tell you all the dates, but I could prob tell you the dates of everything if I ever bothered reading the dates

It's gotten to the point where I know so much that my company buddy's warn others not to argue anything halo with me.... Same Irl as well I have never lost a argument about halo XD

Mackenzie Braden Then everything changed when the 343 Industries attacked...

Remember Reach!

+DarkDeathTrooper helious phaeton is my favorite reach vehicle

Rinfernal Masuka 117 likes, critical. Id like but i dont want to destroy that

Remember Reach.

StormTrooper T3114 remember reach

And this is the exact reason why I loved the Bungie games. I've had all my reasons for disliking Halo 4 completely discredited because some idiot would end up calling me a fanboy. Halo 4's multiplayer pretty much ripped mechanics straight from COD, Battlefield and other games; shit like the ordinance drop (aid for getting killstreaks), class loadouts and skins on your armour and guns. At least 343i admitted to their mistakes there... As for Halo's campaign. In previous games, there was always this feeling that humanity was on the losing end of the fight, each game had a quote that very much signified the "humanity isn't going to win" feeling. CE: "If the Covenant get their hands on her, they'll learn everything; weapons research, force deployment... Earth" 2: "If Truth leads the Covenant fleet to Earth, they won't stand a chance. You HAVE to stop him!" 3: "Earth is all we have left. You really trust Cortana that much?" ODST: "Unlike you, it knows what to tell those cruisers to keep them off our back..." "I think they're too busy to care. It looks like they've found what they're looking for." Wars: "Son, I have a feeling before this is all over, we're going to need every last Spartan in the fight. Report back to the ship, I can handle this." Reach: "You want to know if we're losing?" "I know we're losing. I want to know if we've lost." Each game had this constant feeling of loss, like humanity wouldn't make it out of the war alive. And then Halo 4 comes along with its invincible Spartan IVs, UNSC ship that practically dwarfs the Covenant ships and land vehicles that can house an entire platoon. So, you see why Halo 4 was a bad game? I'm not saying it was a bad game because Bungie didn't make it, I'm saying its a bad game because it went completely against the running themes through Halo and tried to draw in a "wider audience", specifically the generic-shooter crowd.

angryboy2k9 By Halo 4, humanity has won the war. The Covenant is in disarray, and as stated in Halo First Strike, the Covenant is imitative, not innovative, whereas humanity is the opposite. Humanity has had 5 years to expand and grow, without worrying about their extinction. Also the Covenant the Chief fights in Halo 4 are a splinter group, so they aren't super powerful. But I mean, I still totally see why you could dislike Halo 4. I'm not dissing your opinion or anything, mate.

angryboy2k9 I understand... But for Halo 4's credit. The war against the Covenant is over, for the most part. Having some time to adapt to their way of fighting, their technology, and intellect. Humanity simply did what all creatures do when they survive something horrible. Survive, adapt, and thrive... Honestly, you're right it doesn't keep to the themes of loss and hopelessness. But it still stays true to the the better nature of human beings. So many stories these days show that humans are nothing by squabbling, witless , turds (like on the Walking Dead and Attack on Titan). I love Halo 4 as much as the other games because, it only makes sense that humanity would eventually learn and rise again. I have no problem in believing that something worse is on the horizon, you can feel it throughout the game... and not only Didact. These "Precursors" and the Librarians Janus Key have me interested.

Mattomaton My main issue with the way they portrayed humanity after the war is that they overestimated our strength at that point. We had Earth, which was already crumbling, and a handful of survivors from other colonies floating around space. The remainder of the Home Fleet was little more than a few Frigates (which were barely a match for the Covenant's smallest ships). Our navy was smashed, and army/marines were exhausted and we had lost nearly every single Super-soldier we had available. Consider both the World Wars. Its taken countries on both sides of both conflicts many decades to recover from these wars, and they were nowhere nearly as disastrous as the genocide of the Covenant. Okay granted we had the support of the Elites. Or should I say, the Arbiter. The Elites only allied with us to stop the Covenant Loyalists and get revenge on the Brutes, and most (such as the Shipmaster) pretty much hated humanity as suggested by him saying "if it were not for the Arbiter's council, I would have glassed your entire planet". We would not have received much, if any, support from the Elites that could be of use. The Engineers are smart and good technicians, but even they need the matter necessary to create things. I doubt humanity would be able to pull resources out of their ass quite so easily. Technology is a different matter and would require a lot of scientific experiments, which the Engineers may have been useful for. The recent comics and such suggest that we are allied, or at least neutral, with the Brutes. This makes absolutely no sense since the Brutes were constantly depicted as bloodthirsty tribal beasts who would gladly eat their own allies let alone an enemy they've been fighting for 30 years. Sorry for ranting but I believe that 343i and the writers of the recent books/comics are going in a completely wrong direction with this. They are not showing humanity as "survive, adapt, thrive", they are making it seem like the war was little more than an inconvenience and that we could have easily won it if we put in the effort. I just can't believe that THIS is the Halo Universe now. It seems too far-fetched that humanity has managed to recover so quickly, and not just that but also become the central species that all others bow down to (yes, the comics depict that when they mediate a truce between the Brutes and Elites, both of whom could kick humanity's ass easily enough). I loved Halo because it differed from most sci-fi franchises in that it showed humanity as a WEAK race that refused to die out. Now its becoming a more generic sci-fi in that we're the top-dogs who shouldn't be fucked with.

angryboy2k9 It's interesting to say that you loved Halo because it was different in that humans are weak and we refused to die. That's what most generic sci-fi franchises are about now... Humanity on the brink of extinction, we're fighting back, we win, yada yada yada. Whether this was influenced by Halo is anyone's guess. Yes, 343i are portraying the humans as the new powerful species in the galaxy, but I think this is justified through the lore that we've been given. To 343i's credit they've given more thought to the lore than Bungie (look what Bungie did with Halo Reach... I'm still a bit mad with that). Humanity's been fighting a REALLY long war, to the brink of extinction with inferior technology. Now, with reverse-engineered forerunner technology and the Covenant's lack of San Shyuum support we've really tipped the scales. This era is all about exploring what humanity would do in power. Would it seek revenge? Peace? But of course, there are other factors that could explain humanity's rapid recovery. Things 100,000 years old... Yes, I'm talking about Forerunners and Precursors, because whether you like it or not they have a very real effect on the way the galaxy is run in this time. Some people explain the Master Chief's disappearance because of his geas planted by the Librarian. The Librarian was hell bent on making humanity the next in line for the Mantle (maybe Precursors thought this too) so maybe she planted some of the ideas for humanity's armor, weapons, etc. My point is, it's no longer about surviving and adapting. I think it's a step in the right direction because it opens doors for more themes to be explored.

Me too. I realized that these "ethnicities" are not even a product of nature. In reality we are all humans. One race.

***** And you know what many countries led too: more wars. The bloodiest was WW2 of course. You read a bit of Jean Jaques Rousseau. He has good points about humanity and countries

Saran Vadlamudi ok end this subject before america haters see it and comment. how about kittens?

Die? hahaha don't you know? Spartans never die.. *BOOM*

As Grif put it, they wasn't evening planing on surviving. That was just an outcome of being so fucking awesome.

during the battle of sigmus Octanus 4 Keyes fought 4 ships destroying 2 frigates and a destroyer forcing the last ship, a carrier to retreat.

Ox7ProTotyPe wasn't it three he killed?

Draigan Fairgrieve I would check but I lost that book

WarmasterBlade I remember Keyes used the destroyers torpedoes against it, and nuked/mac blasted the frigates. And the carrier bugged out.

They also placed a tracker of Keye's ship which led the Covenant to Reach.

Sadly, not many people are as into the lore as we are. I can think of two people, not including myself, who actually pay attention to the lore in such depths that made this video possible, nearly everyone else is only in it for the shooter elements.

angryboy2k9 i cnt deny i am not into the books or the other lore but i do love to research what happened before reach and halo wars. could never figure it out and thats why i love this francise so much! its a whole universe of knowledge just in the games! my only problem is im not buying a shitty xbox1 just for new halo games, too much of an ask in my eyes!

Is it bad If I own all the books and know almost every peace of lore even the science of how flood take over their hpsts

clay haislip No, because I own the books, and it isn't even hard to figure out how the flood infects people. They're parasites. Parasites exist in the real world too, you know.

clay haislip Haha, nah you're good. I'm in the same boat myself XD

Cool idea but I doubt ONI would just leave evidence of their top secret project of basically suicide soldiers just laying around.

@@Destroyer-kr4hm Spartan program is public in the Halo universe now, its no longer secret as it was. Reach takes place decades after the war so im pretty sure sixes helmet remains there as a sign of respect for those fallen during reach

Yes. The first halo wars was sooo awesome. Halo wars is by far the best halo game in my opinion.

shawn waters nah Halo 2 anniversary is the best 1 for its graphics 2 for being able to play as arbiter and 3 for being able to dual wield weapons

Its confermed I think its on halofollower

Roman Canez​ ?

Your wish has been granted !!!!

* Claps * Yes.

Halo has a REAL story. I love Halo. I have all the games.

Gaiden Tears I think "REAL" might a little stretch since COD is more real than Halo. Or should i say modernly real.

Max Diehl And in what way is CoD real? Just because CoD is placed in the current era doesn't mean it's a lot more realistic than Halo. In fact, it's not.

-Stealer-L1F3 Its closer to reality than Halo and whats your definition of "real". Depends in what category "real" was placed in. Don't get me wrong Halo has a great story line.

It's being read as if it was someone at the time just after the end of the war, hence why they never mentioned the Forerunners (except for the ancient ships).

Well, it's just like how they said that Guilty Spark was destroyed, but he's still fuctional

I heard Spark was still alive but to me it sounded more like a small backup that went rogue, could be wrong on that. But yeah, it is like that; a character is believed to be dead at the time (despite the writer and viewers know it isn't the case) so they write it like it is the truth.

yeah. "spartans dont die, their just mssing in action" :)

Raymond Alcantara Possibly. That is the sad truth of our world... each and every country has an immense amount of history just as interesting as any fictional lore has, and yet people do not care because its "nerdy" or some shit. Every country has its legends and its myths, and I think we should all take pride in that, even if you aren't exactly a nationalist.

It makes me kind of sad to think about that though. This being showed to schoolchildren on the day of the war's end to commemorate the sacrifice of those who fought. And yet, these children, not paying attention, probably wouldn't be alive without it. Some may never had been conceived, or some might even have been killed. It sucks, but that's what Halo's about, right? All those feels.

same here spodoosh. same here...

SpoDoosh yea

+Lisa winn Call of Duty is a game. Halo is an experience.

Oh I know, i'm a halo fan ^^

COD has absurd things..like you being dead the whole time in Black Ops 3, and dreaming all of it. Halo feels epic, and its all too real..

+Agent Washington agreed

CoD: Maybe, just maybe you get attached to the main characters, and you're like "Nooo, Harper." when they die. Halo: You bawl when one of the fucking NPCs die. I mean, that's just me.

Chance Reroma now you see I never cry when a friendly NPC dies... Even Johnson... But usually I feel bad because the marines in halo kind of instill a sense of responsibility in me. Not only that but the lore makes there deaths so hard to stand for me... In halo I vowed to save any marines I can and I usually do a good job.... Untill I give one a rocket and we get into close quarters.... Then they all die because some fuckwit decided he wanted to be usefull

I agree halo so fucking deep man. In CoD the only one I had the feels for was MW3. And that was only 2 scenes lol. But halo never fails to give me dem feels

***** Someone doesn't know what constructive criticism is. You'll understand when you mature more :3

But cod is more realistic everything u just watched is made up n scripted get a life cod is the best game for multi player n competitive get to learn facts not made up shit u fuck

lol 343 didnt let rookie died and stop blaming 343 for thier shittiness

IHype 343 didn't let Rookie die? Who did, then?

Stavland bungie...

The Beast No.. Rookie died in 2014, 2015 or 2016.

Spoiler* I think Rookie died in a hostage situation

but then again that is what it means to be a spartan be it ORION 2 or 3 they were born to never quit from a fight never flinch in the face of death never fail even one mission spartans would gladly trade thei'r own lives for the lives of UNSC soldiers or civillians even if one spartan meant more to the war than a battallion of marines thats what they would do they would sacrifice they would stand strong they would prevail and eventually win you know when you think about it the old "spartans never die" saying is more than just troop morale booster its one phrase embodies the sacrifices of every spartan sacrifices that allowed humanity to win the war against the covenant the flood and perhaps will win a war against the didact and his prometheans in the reclaimer saga

Atlas Neptune gtfo overnoob or get a good game like halo

But... it's a joke. I love both games and I play both games...

I actually knew someone was gonna mention Mercy, cause that's the first thing I thought when reading *_"Heroes Never Die"_* on the title. XD

WarmasterBlade TRIGGERED!

true

but being stronger in brains and feeling more like you are a real spartan that can make a difference, now its just prometheans spawn and it takes far too many unsatisfying shots to kill them. You feel weak

I like bunnies lore alot better (mainly due to the spartan 4 basically wing the equivalent of power Rangers) but bungie had contunity errors mainly with the spartan 2 count and when first encounters happened with specific species of the covenant. Why 343 is more consistent they feel outrageous to me with what they have done with the spartan 4s

+Travis Austin Hodges 343 has much more flaws than Bungie did

Bungie wasn't exactly consistent either. To see how bad it was just read Fall of Reach and then play Reach. Halo 1,2,3/ODST were much more consistent with the books. 343i just shat over all the ground work put in place by the first 6 books - they then proceed to put all the story in the new books as an excuse to have piss pore stories in the games.

Most of the old community of halo dislike 343i and Halo

Carbon based, it works for us. Thats very true. Though the scary thing about reality is that we know little, we know little of existence and its function. There could possibly be a race of creatures who do not need what we need to live. Not only that, but as much as it comforts our pride. We may not be the ones fighting for a noble cause like the survival of our species in the future to come. It may be us that's the covenant, though only time will tell and through time we will face countless "anomalies" that defy our understanding of the world. Hell as far as we know, we could be in a situation like that of dead space. The last intelligent species, unaware of the dark secret over why humans seem to be alone in the universe.

take it all

LBOGaming XD im not a girl tho

that is, an amazing way to look at it. 343 did a really good job in the campaign. not so much in the multi player.

nah man, the books gave him a personality way before halo 4 came out

ECH0550 Well, at least they're improving with the Halo 5 beta receiving very positive and helpful feedback on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Plus the set up they have for Halo 5's story is really interesting. ONI Spartan Agent Locke and the Arbiter have to look for the Chief. Master Chief has possibly gone AWOL and may be trying to find a way to get Cortana back. Catherine Halsey, creator of the Spartan Program, has sided with what little remains of the Covenant and wants revenge against the UNSC. This should be pretty f-ing good.

Dennis Claros i never said that they couldnt recover from halo 4. i knew it would be very difficult, but they could do it. i didnt play the beta but heard very good things about it. im very optimistic about this game. the franchise lives or dies with this game.

ECH0550 I know the feeling :) I think 343 takes this more seriously than Bungie. I mean, they really wanna make this franchise last. The question is whether they know how to...

Dam you almost join the army
