"When this is over, that hammer is going in *someone's ass* "

It’s STILL insane to me that what started as just a joke in a comedy machinima series became a legitimate MP mode in the actual game series.

Late night gaming be like: *The EVOlUTION of MASTER CHIEFS JOCK STRAP* let’s take a look at every version master chiefs master piece

"When you first saw the gravity hammer were you blinded by its majesty?" "Blinded?" "Paralyzed, dumbstruck?" "Yes, yes i was."

*Nooooo you can’t just make one of the most dangerous weapons in the universe a stick!* *Ha ha, Gravity Hammer go BOOOSSHHH*

"...bake you a cake... okay that last part was a lie." I see you making Portal memes you rascal

Halo 3 hammer sounds like a lightningstrike from Thor himself. Halo 4 hammer sounds like a sci-fi gun reloading. Halo 5 sounds like the same gun firing.

I'm surprised the Gravity Hammer Melee isn't an instakill, considering the giant sharp edge (not the gravity hammer swing, I mean the actual melee)

3:37 I DIED AFTER HEARING “ *ASS* ” on earrape LOL.

Hey LateNight! There’s a cool detail in ODST with the hammer. The ODSTs will rest it on their shoulder while running around. Kinda cool that Bungie did that for them

When you have a hammer. Everyone is a nail.

The Halo 3 Gravity Hammer is definitely my favorite version in the series. The look, feel and sound (oh my god that SOUND!!) is fantastic. Can you cover the Plasma Pistol next? Its a special gun that has that unique secondary firing method that most Halo weapons don't have. It also has gone through a plethora of size and damage changes. Anyway, great video! I really enjoyed it

Hey, he said my name

“Monkey biker gang” is now my title for the Banished. Thanks for my new favorite sequence of words, LNG.

embrace M O N K E

Dude, how did you not mention the crazy physics on the Spartans when they’re dead? In Halo 4 it is cranked up to 11! What I remember the most in that iteration is the bodies falling from the sky and flying across the court!

Let's go. I've been looking forward to this video

Some future video ideas, Evolution of the Banshee Evolution of the Ghost Evolution of the Warthog Evolution of the Pelican Evolution of the Carbine Evolution of the Beam Rifle Evolution of Halo Swat

It kinda blows my mind that they perfected the hammer in the first game it appears in and then it just gets worse and worse with each subsequent game

In halo wars 1 the chieftain can manipulate his power ability to “manipulate” gravity to pull in AI units and also destroy bases with free control by the player

The Grifball scene is still hosting matches/Tournaments! They had one a few days ago :) If you want to join, Here's a link the the Grifball discord: discord.gg/JWsH4duhx5

NGL, the gravity hammer would be perfect for smash attacks for Chief in Smash! One can dream!

3:36 *"When this is over...... That hammer is going into someone A S S ! ! ! ! !"* - -Marcus Fenix:- The Brute Chieftain.

Halo Infinite's Gravity Hammer as it is now, July 2021, is gonna break your heart.

Speaking of the Spartan Laser, you should do that one next!

I’m not religious, but we truly are blessed to have a content creator who cares so deeply about this franchise’s history and understands what clicks with our nostalgia. Late night you really are a gem, words can’t describe how happy I am when your videos pop up in my sub box, thanks man!

22:27 Oh! I remember that game i knew when i saw you killing people with the gravity hammer it was for this video

I really liked what they did with the Brutes in Halo Reach compared to Halo 3. Since Reach was technically an earlier time than 3, you can imagine the Brutes having worse equipment since the Elites were more important and got all the good stuff. The Brutes would always want to be the Halo 3 Brutes, but only got the chance once the Elites were removed.

I think I cool idea for future halo games is once you have defeated a chieftain and grabbed his hammer, surrounding brutes should act differently, like they flee or even better are enraged that you, a pweny human have decided to attack them with their own sacred weapon.

“Bake you a cake. Ok that last part was a lie” Unintentional reference I love it

Also Halo 3 gravity hammer is my favorite definitely.

You should make the evoulution of the warthog, I would love to see that

Would love to see the history of the plasma pistol. Arguably the most back pocket weapon of them all.

Thanks for uploading this video it helps me forget about what’s happening in the world.

Last time I was this early it was mid-afternoon gaming...

Last time I was this early, the armada that attacked Reach was three times this size

'Bake you a cake, ok that part was a lie" The cake is a LIE!!!!

I’ve been looking forward to another one of these evolution videos! Keep up the great work!

Man, I love your video style. I'm happy you showed the sound

Late night gaming, do evolutions of beam rifle, plasma pistol, spartan laser, and carbine

Man watching this makes me wish the infinite charge wasn’t quite so slow. In infinite it’s really slow and doesn’t knock enemy back like the older ones. I like how powerful it feels but hope they tweak it a bit

I love these weapon review videos. Keep them coming!

Your videos are so entertaining bro, I have been waiting for this one thanks man!

Been to long since one of these videos was made, let's do this.

Why did you focus on grifball with this? It's in other modes. I always looked at the hammer as an anti-vehicle counterpart to the sword tho. Reason why i prefer it to the sword in reach- besides it beating out the sword everytime

I'm going to say something very simple: I love your videos, especially this type of video analysis about halo weapons

hey late night love the new video, this is probably my favorite series of halo videos now. I have a suggestion for another “evolution of...” video. I think the stationary weapons of the game would make an interesting entry to the series. They have changed a lot over time with especially from 2 -> 3. I had a debate recently with my friend about the UNSC machine gun and I argued halo 4’s was the best for its accuracy when tap fired. Just a suggestion, keep up the great work!

Wait...the gravity hammer can knock grenades out of suicide grunts hands...IM FINDING THIS OUT NOW!!! 😲😂🤣

It's Hammer Time

You really hit the nail on the head with this gravity hammer video

Man these videos I always find a joy to watch would love and can't wait to see more 💜

My mental image of the elites if those idiots at the start of halo 2 dual wielding plasma pistols.

Damn, didnt even give the grifball league a plug in the description after all the help with the video

Love these long form breakdowns man

I always listen to your videos while working on g-mod artwork or school work. So when out of no were, I heard the hammers explosive SFX, it scared the crap out of me!

MtnDew

Reject wort wort Return to monke

I can tell you're real proud of the clip at 9:56 considering you used it like 5 times haha. Well deserved, that was a hell of an outplay :) Can't wait for the Rocket Launcher one!

Very well made video, keep up the good work❣👍

I’m so early...

Late night gaming will reply to this comment Chapter one: the start of the crusade

Late Night Gaming, Thanks for all the calming fun content! I really enjoy it and I hope you know a lot of people do :)

I miss team communication. It's been several years since I got to play an online Halo game. A while back, I moved into an area that only has internet service via satellite. This means there are a lot of games I cannot play multiplayer in....Halo being one of them sadly. (If I boot up a matchmaking lobby, it just loads indefinitely and co-op runs with a several second control input delay) The last time I remember playing some online matches was back when Halo 5 was making a little bit of a comeback with updates. I was playing SWAT and when trying to call out enemy locations, I ended up just having my own teammates yelling at me to shut up. We ended up losing that match majorly because people wouldn't communicate, and players kept running into locations that were being covered by the enemy. It was one of the few reasons why I liked the in-game "callouts" that would happen by the actual player characters themselves. Seeing as no one actually communicated via headsets anymore, it was a god send to be playing and hear an in-game character call out "Enemy in blue bend." or "They've got a sniper." Which I later learned was something controversial that a lot of players ended up hating. But I loved it because the game itself had better communication skills to me than my own teammates actually did. As for my favorite version of the Gravity Hammer, I think I loved the Halo 5 version the most manly because it had its own assassination animation.

12:10 That definitely sounds awful in comparison to Halo 3 🤣

Im second guys wooo im so cool

I the other console would like to thank you for the hard work you put into making these videos

This made my day man thanks alot.

Every time I hear your intro I know it’s gonna be a good video lol

I love how funny your videos are now!! 😂

I love the evolution series. I rewatch it so much.

Can't wait to see the evolution of all the vehicles too!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO! I've been waiting for this video, love what you do man

I'd say do the Plasma Pistol next. Seeing how it's been in every Halo game to date and that It'll be interesting to see how each iteration fits into each Hao game's META.

I personally liked Reach's hammer the most, I know this sounds weird but due to the gameplay mechanics with it. In Reach, you can alot more reliably melee kill without lunge, this also applied to the hammer being able to cause harm or kill players with it. Just like with the sword you could do turn kills which were much rarer in Halo 3 due to the way melee was done. Plus, I like the model most with the fire booster things on top of the back, looked really brutish.

I think that the best way forward for the Gravity Hammer at this point is to split it into multiple weapons: 1.) The traditional Gravity Hammer: a functional copy-paste of the H3 Gravity Hammer (my personal favorite version) 2.) The "Gravity Bec de Corbin" (or the "Lucerne Gravity Hammer" whichever sounds better): exchanges most of its ability to throw around players and objects for obscene amounts of damage per swing, with melee attack (not actual attack) being strong enough to one-hit a fully shielded player 3.) The "Gravity Maul": basically an inverse Gravity Hammer which can grapple players and objects like the Fist of Rukt, and then crush them in a gravitic vortex 4.) The "Gravity Mace": a hybrid of a Gravity Hammer and an Energy Sword, similar to Chain Breaker, which functions like a Gravity Bec de Corbin against players and NPCs, but comes with the added ability of being able to absolutely shred any vehicle in one or two hits, though it comes with the risk of being parryable with a parry instantly killing its user, and it uses charge when melee attacking like an energy sword does

The use of hologram at 8:36 is beautiful what a play

Fire 🔥 video bro loved it

Keep up the beautiful videos late night. 👍

9:00 "don't do it" That Brute Chieftan will forever be remembered.

I hope you do an updated version of the gravity hammer and many more weapons

Thank you for creating an excitement to play halo for me

I may be a bit late, but I would love to hear you talk about the evolution of the warthog, as it is halo's most iconic vehicle and is the reason halo is a shooter at all. There isn't much of a model change between games but the history is just so intriguing.

for the last 2 days i have been non stop watching these vids and then SOMEHOW a new one comes out AS i am watching the br video, how XD

Maybe a history video of the Carbine? Since it does act and look different in each Halo game it’s in.

Every time I hear your intro music I’m always expecting the “HUH?” edit.

I like this one a lot, next you should do a vehicle! Warthog or ghost maybe?

he's back at it at last!

I like you your contacts keep up with the great work

I'd honestly love to see a video on the evolution of the Covenant, a video similar to the Flood evolution? I think it would be interesting

infinites gravity hammer is so good. Swinging it feels like there's so much weight behind it, and the huge shockwave from the impact is just 👌

22:40 Damnit, I've now got idea for how you could lore-justify that. A group of Rag-tag survivors from one of the various conflicts (perhaps a human, elite and a brute and some others) wind up banding together, and one day after noting just how far the hammer sends people, the brute and whoever their engineer is work out a hammer than can (somewhat) safely launch even someone as squishy as a human a long way. It does greatly reduced direct damage since it doesn't actually hit anyone, but it causes a huge push that can knock people over ledges or into walls with enough force to damage or kill them. Lore-wise, the weapon goes on to be the Brute's most cherished 'weapon', having enabled him and his friends to pull off all sorts of insane heists, and eventually it catches the attention of some equally-creative Spartans, leading to it being taken on as an unconventional utility item in a Spartan's toolbelts.

Yessssss another history video

My first halo multiplayer experience was in like 2013 on Reach at a friend’s house. The hammer was terrifying.

The clever uses of the hammer is why I'm so excited for the "disruptor" gun in infinite

This here? My only reason to get up in the morning. Best weapon, without question, in all of gaming. Nothing, puts a smile on my face more, than this big stick that just goes boom.

12:41 “It was a weaker sound” LateNightGaming “Foreshadowing 343’s first two games being weak” -me

wooo!! AGLA represent!! Great video man, loved it.

wait those were Easter eggs in Halo 4? damn I guess I must have done them by accident
