It's the covenant so it's okay

@@mr.voidroy6869 Very fair point. Truth does say "the reward for all your toil and all your sacrifice is near at hand" right when the flood show up. Case can be made that was the only truthful thing he ever said. It's like when the Reapers took out the Batarians.

​@@mr.voidroy6869there are still innocent people that live in the covenant even species that were forced to be in the covenant, the military sure but the people don't deserve to be punished for the evil atrocities committed by the covenant

@@levicarpenter5509 If you support/vote for a government that performs evil atrocities then you yourself are also evil. But for sure there would be aliens that were innocent (like children).

What I loved the most was the grave mind referring to chief as machine and nerve while the arbiter was called flesh and faith. Really shows how in the lore we might get some Human-Sanghelli factions

I’m already starting to write a TTRPG because of this video

For a few years now I have contemplated on a specific story of a goofy, misunderstood but highly intelligent and crafty grunt called Nim Yak, traversing the city “suburbs”, industrial centres, martial zones and outer rims of HC trying to survive the Civil War and later the Flood infection, tasked with an important top secret mission that reveals a dark plot twist, that Nim Yak struggles with before trying to rectify, finally resulting in him fighting desperately to survive and escape HC. The story was to be told in a survival horror game, with extreme emphasis on the horror 1/3-1/2way through as the infection breaks out. Unfortunately the story has stayed in my head as I haven’t got the skill or money to start any kind of meaningful development. Something I thought deeply on was deeply exploring the common districts of HC: housing, traffic areas, industrial zones, commercial zones, breeding areas, drug dens, brothels, underground black market zones, etc. Dark and seedy areas I wondered upon especially when I was a young kid, looking upon the central city for long amounts of time when playing as MC in the HC mission of H2. I’d imagine them booming with social and commercial activity, then during the civil war rife with chaos and bloodshed, then extremely eery and horrifying during the infection as scattered remnants of covenant forces from both sides of the Schism hole up in makeshift-security trying to survive the onslaught of the Flood. I’m detailing this very heavily, somewhat sharing too much, but I think someone with better means of creating such a thing could do with some form of inspiration from an extreme Halo fan such as myself

@@DonRoyalX that sounds perfect

@@b22blackeagle20 thanks man. If u wanna read more I’ll leave this here :) They choose him for the mission in preparation of the civil war as he is an unassuming individual. The start of the game would show a cutscene where Nim Yak is being tasked by an Elite commander, who assaults the young Grunt to intimidate him into compliance for the mission as Nim is initially fearful and rejecting (the story over time shows Nim Yak against severe odds, and occurrences like this establish that atmosphere) Through the first half Nim Yak finds another Grunt, Bik Lom, who he partners with throughout sections after that. In a specific scenario, before the infection, Nim comes across a Brute major who has caught wind of the top secret package that Nim has been tasked with transporting (Nim was told the package was to be used to save a massive portion of the Covenant population, with the majority being Unggoy, but the truth is actually much different). This Brute is a primary story point, the intention of his addition to create extreme tension through gameplay and storytelling: for example, in a cutscene introducing the Brute, he eats the remnants of a Grunt as Nim hides in a vent while travelling through a section. Anyway, during a climax of this story point where Nim seems to be at deaths door against the Brute, captured and battered, Bik saves him, establishing their brotherhood. However… even Bik has a secret to hide. The Flood sections are where the true horror starts. The first sections of the game were tension against vicious enemies and odds (primary focus on small enemy numbers, supplemented by high fear and risk), who although are terrifying, they are at least sentient and predictable. But the 2nd half is terror survival, reminiscent of Outlast or RE7 Biohazard. The battle isn’t taken to the Flood, such as Master Chiefs story, but instead under the radar. Nim’s craftiness and cunning though allow him to traverse through this nightmare, although coming out the other end traumatised and completely reborn. Nim encounters old friends who have been infected, Flood worship cults, mass graves, and tasks so out of hand they seem literally impossible but are necessary for his survival. The end is Nim’s attempt to find an escape vessel that he can use to return to the Unggoy home planet Balaho. God I wish I could create this game, and give the fans a masterpiece. Maybe I should start on writing it, even for myself. Thanks for reading man :)

@@DonRoyalX I'd say go for it. That's really good for a start and basis in which to go off of. Not sure how far modsing has come, I've seen a few things here and there for some of it but could be an idea to try and reach out to some modders. I'm unsure how well the playable grunt aspect would be but even for now, maybe could be swapped around and play as an elite who is tasked with watching him and staying in the shadows. And if ODST has mods then that could be a very good engine/atmosphere to go off of. Just a thought. Not sure how well modding is but the basic idea you have sounds great. Could also be a shame though having to sacrifice some of the story to make it work in current gen...

all the names are iconic

Yes! Unyielding Hierophant

@@user-ze3sg6ix1u Exuberant Witness is also an honorable mention.

C'mon guys, don't forget 343's amazing naming schemes like... Uh... UNSC Infinity. That's so original and awesome!

@@rellianthebonemeowster3450 "Infinity Comms" 😂

You have the greatest username I've ever seen.

Actually your love for Halo is for the *universe* xD Since Infinite has absolutely destroyed the playerbase, what is keeping the world alive now is in fact our passion for the lore of the universe xD

Yup I second that, him and the other channels that feature halo as well

Yeah he resparked my love for the series.

I like his videos a lot, but I think the music could be turned down a bit. Sometimes it’s hard to hear what he’s saying.

Elites aren't piss ant guards there. They're honor guards tf

Do me one better. Youre a peacekeeper or something (because I doubt police or guard is religious enough for the covenant) and you handle the small tasks like occasional interspecies fights, or bringing a loose character in to the temple because they didnt show up for worship. But then you hear word that the Demon is on the Holy City. And he brought the plague of flood with him.

It’s highly likely the police force would’ve been delegated towards the jackals and brutes and even the san'shyuum. One consume, the loosely held peace between the prophets and the elites was largely managed in part by making so deletes wouldn’t have to have any occupation that was deemed less than honorable. Being a police officer, probably less than honorable. As to the prophets being more bureaucratic would understand the need for them to be police chiefs, and so on., if such a game were to exist. Then you would most likely play as a jackal.

Agree. Well as seeing more fringe species too.

100% there with ya! We need a full high charity explorable halo game!

I think high charity is a type of mircaba some type of floating throne something like the death star in starwars.

I’d argue that it’s too big to be a capital ship. It’s more like a space station

He does say it’s not really a station in the beginning of the video.

@@Frog9er get trolled

​@Frog9er and a space station isn't really called a station because it's stationary. Its called a space station because it's big. Most stations can move around and warp around. Doesnt mean it isnt a station.

We need a halo timeline game. The Prophets and Elites war then it'd be the taming of the hunters then the grunt rebellion and then contact harvest or reach from the covenant perspective then battle against the flood in Africa as a human then the great schism with a brutes perspective and a elites kinda like halo 2 MC and Arbiter then maybe maybe the beginning of the banished fighting the covies or silent shadow hunting down high value targets. Make each mission about 30 mins with 2 parts and have blue studios make the cinematics. It's like halo legends the game. It'd be amazing.

Oh and my personal favorite would be playing as a Prelate in the schism too. Prelate should be like mini bosses. They haven't added them to a game yet

I think this would work as an ODST style spinoff or a scenario for Halo Wars.

You have it reversed;it wasn't the elites rebelling it was the brutes

@@Shinzon23 I mean if you want to claim it was a rebellion, then it was most definitely the elites. But it wasn't really a rebellion, it was a civil war.

Installation 00. The effort you put in is insane. You deserve much more recognition than you are getting. I appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for keeping my love for Halo alive.

It took about 245 years or so I think to build

Its really not. Your current reality is a fantasy

@@ifeawosika966 nobody asked

It's starting to feel like we'll never get a scifi universe as unique and solid as Halo. Too bad its immense potential is being completely wasted on incompetent studios. 343 games, the Halo show, all such a waste. Just imagine if we actually got Blomkamp's take on Halo. Biggest missed opportunity in cinema history.

@@MintyLime703 the expanse is really good

​@@ifeawosika966 If you look at technology & culture of humanity in the Halo universe, that could well be us in a 500 year range. Other sci-fi universes like Star Trek etc are too fantasy-like because they don't take in cultural/social & technological growth development, it's just boom, we have warp & laser guns, & oh, humanity gave up their violent nature. That kind of change takes time in a 1000 year range not a couple hundred years. Halo & The Expanse seem to me being hard sci-fi seems to be more plausible than other sci-fi IPs.

*Saying soothing meditating chants in mystic

What’s that mean for the precursors? Omnipresence?

Forerunners : "door me to installation 00"

Probably just going through it like water.

Not today scam not today

The flood Graveming probably slowed it down so the damage to its own forces would not be so high, as if they just crashed and exploded the ark qould still have survived and repaired itself while the flood would have lost all its biomass, it had to slow down and make a slow crashland.

You should listen to The Amber king he's very good at telling stories.

Well you see, that would mean 343 would have to listen and/or care about the community. Something they never will.

Because 343 is furiously writing down everything they see in his videos AND they don't have to pay for it. People are not hired based on merit anymore, that's not how it works. You can thank ESG scores and diversity quotas for that.

@@beeman4266 imagine thinking diversity hires are bad

@@pinkpugginz when you're hired strictly to make a diversity quota with out the skills....

@@pinkpugginz Imagine thinking diversity is better than meritocracy.

They did come across the ones in halo wars. Word was also spread as in halo encyclopedia says mercy, I belive, sent arbiter to activate the warships before he died. Would definitely be cool if there was more but thats definitely one of the times that was before then

Well they seemed to know what the flood was in halo 2s opening. Saying that thel was ‘right to focus on the flood’ instead of the humans on 04. I take that as having previous experience with it

@@b22blackeagle20 That's true, and we never do see them out trying to kill the flood elite in halo wars either, it's almost like it's not really a concern to the covenant there, where as by the time of halo 2 and even later halo wars 2, the flood are viewed as a priority threat. So it's definitely still possible that the flood are still out there, just unknown to us.

@@christophervanoster That's true, but the threat wasn't really given all that much priority or at least it didn't seem like they were taking it seriously, given it managed to invade and take over almost the entirety of high charity. Plus they didn't really enact any lock down procedures, or containment protocols, they just sort of talked about fighting back, and not letting the flood make a hive out of their holy city by means of faith, while the prophets were fleeing.

They did in halo 1 the flood made a hive on one of their ships

Id say it's simply just both.

Halo follower has been letting me down recently with all the click baity negativity with his recent uploads. I feel like once a day I get a notification from his channel with a title like “I can’t believe 343 did this” “this will changed halo forever” etc etc then it’s just a video of him talking shit about 343 and the game like to the point It don’t even seem like constructive criticism, it feel he’s just riding the 343 hate train because he knows that’s what’s getting views rn if that makes sense.

@@raynersclips4223 low effort content

I just wish I knew the song used

@@ridingwarthogs3244 "We do it together" is the music used, near the end of the intro sequence anyway. I think the first half is derived from Halo 2 soundtrack
