Celebrating Halo 20th Anniversary with a Bunch of Trailer Reactions 

I don't think enough people give Halo's remarkable history enough credit. Xbox Live was created from a vision started with Halo: CE and Halo 2 revolutionized online console gaming. Every Let's Play channel, every Twitch gaming streamer, can thank the efforts started back in Halo 2/3 with organizations like Machinima. Absolutely one of the greatest franchises in history.

The halo soundtrack is so good, still gives me chills when that theme hits in the trailers.

You guys should definitely see the Halo 3 ad campaign called: “Believe” it’s truly something remarkable and makes you feel the world of Halo as if it’s actually real and something as important as one of humanity’s greatest events. Definitely a must watch, hopefully we can see your reaction to it

FINALLY you guys saw Landfall haha. Fun fact: Landfall was directed by Neil Blompkamp, (director of District 9, Elysium, Chappie). Landfall served as 3 things. Advertisement for H3, a canonical short on how the marines found Chief at the beginning of Halo 3 and a visual concept for how the live action Halo movie he was supposed to make would look. When the movie fell through, he used the leftover resources to make District 9. I really can't wait for you guys to play through this franchise

At the end of Landfall when you see "Sierra-117" (Master Chief) falling, it is a prelude to the opening mission of Halo 3, where Johnson finds Chief's landing site and the first level begins. Love that trailer though, that last Brute getting absolutely demolished by that rocket launcher lmao

I’m trying to watch this without getting choked up thinking of the nostalgia of my childhood. Halo✊🏽

Halo has given me many good memories these last 20 years.

I just recently got really deep into the Halo lore, an absolutely incredible universe with probably the most terrifying zombie virus in all of fiction. I'm so glad that Halo is making a comeback. Also I highly recommend checking out some Halo lore videos like the Spartan armors lore or some stories about the absolute horror that is The Flood

I would highly recommend checking out the live action movie/series Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn

I love halo so much! Everything about it is iconic, even the sound track I listen to it when I read comics in other words everyday. I’d say my favorite game from the franchise is Halo Reach because you can create your own character.

It's bringing so many good memories halo is one of the best game series I've ever played

“I would have waited and eternity for this!” - Megatron

OH MAN!!! some of these trailers brings back memories, Halo 2 and 3, I think I was in junior high or high school when these came out, I feel old now lol

Damn just hearing that music gives me goosebumps. Nostalgia

The halo landfall trailer was so good because Neil Blomkam was one of the directors on it. He mentioned it during his podcast with Joe Rogan. Apparently he was injured on set when he cut his hand open on the turret of the warthog.

I'm playing through Halo 2 Anniversary atm and I'm loving it. Can't believe I've missed out on this iconic series for so long

There are no other trailers that give me goosebumps like Starry Night and Landfall. A great variety of trailers indeed. Glad to see your reaction

i tear'd up so much during these. Halo changed my life as a kid. Been alive for the whole ride. Absolutely love yalls reactions. Thank you for what you do

Awesome reactions! Halo has always had great marketing and trailers. The effort put into Halo 3’s marketing was insane, all the trailers, vidocs, live action (Landfall) etc. Think it’s time for a play through soon!

As a massive halo fan, I absolutely cannot wait for you both to play the halo games!! Such a big part of my childhood, I love seeing new people get introduced to this amazing world! P.S. you can’t go wrong on starting with either Reach or the first Halo. But since Reach is my favorite and the prequel to the universe, I’ll suggest that one ;) #rememberreach

The only franchise in my heart that comes close to Gears, Halo. Man, gaming has saved me from many a dark moment. You guys rock! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG we are so happy you guys did this!

This is my childhood. Long live the king.

This was such a great reaction and so much history. I love the halo games and lore so much. For the games, my friends and I used to host halo parties where we would have our xbox all hooked up to each other and play each other in full 16 players matches. We would all be shouting having a good time. Its was such an fun time where we all try different modes and full of chaos. For the lore though, Halo has been my favorite lore and how deep it gets. There is three books that are great. The first one is called Fall of reach by Eric Nylund that really describe the Master Chief background and how he became a Spartan. No spoilers, but its pretty messed up on the process which they show hints of in some of the in trailers. It also explain what Reach was and how important in the system. Then there is Halo the flood that took place during the first game but expanded on the personnel there as well as other characters. It also show some things from the Covenant side which was fascinating. Then there was the return of Mr. Eric Nylund who did first strike. This was one of my favorite book in the early lore days since its bridges the gap between halo 1 and halo 2 and you get to see how the Master Chief escape and got back to Earth. He continue on with Contact Harvest which explore how the war between the humans and the covenant got started. However what made Halo great was its story with the great grand opera it was in and how it got to connect with people. In college, I actually wrote a paper in my communication class describing the impact of Halo. I said that one of the thing that connected so many to this character was the fact that this was the fantasy of being able to be the one to save the day. The early game made Master chief so little words that you got to feel as you were saving the universe and it was great. Its amazing how much its grown. I read a bunch of their books since I love to read and they have had some many games, live action short films as you saw, board games, and even some role playing games all set in the universe. They had a a great marketing campaign and while I agree with other that halo 5 story did disappoint, the marketing campaign was top notch. The tag line of hunt the truth they made in a audio format series with two season and was great how they really got you engage in the universe. While ultimately it was disappointing how the story got, I feel confident in the newest one to get back to its roots. Halo wars was great as it was originally envisioned as a strategy game for halo and got turned into one full circle and the first and second one was great. I love the story of the banished and how they are the great new threat. Thanks for your reaction and as you can see I a big fan of halo since it was such a part of my childhood and so fun to play.

20 years of halo 20 years of great fond memories with the boys playing campaign and multiplayer matches. ❤️

The sparknotes for what happened with Cortana: Cortana got too old for an AI and started fracturing. The cortana in halo 5 is a fracture, and she is corrupted on a power trip and is completely obsessed with The Master Chief. At the end of halo 5, she pulls an army of those “guardians” (the big thing that came out of the desert in the one trailer) and tries to enslave mankind because she believes that AI are superior. She also recruited an army of AI because her insane version found a cure for the aging of AI, called rampancy.

The first halo I played was 3 odst and I always go back to it every now and again to see how much better I get at it! (The soundtrack on it is sooo good some good orchestral/noir jazz stuff

Would love it if you reacted to total war warhammer 1 & 2 they got some good trailers for the races and factions out there just try and keep away from the gameplay and mechanics trailers and you'll have some fun/cool ones. I used to play halo so much back on xbox 360 I'm really glad you guys reacted to these!

when you make something so epic it lives the pass of years and even tough is not my first time seeing any of this videos i enjoy seeing them again and even watching your reactions.

I think all the Halo games in the Master Chief Collection are great, if you like the trailers you should try them since they are all playable in splitscreen! Halo 5 is the only game that's just meh, and it doesn't even have splitscreen. Luckily Halo Infinite seems to be great and I can't wait for the campaign! There are also 4 Halo movies if you're interested: *Halo: Fall of Reach* tells the origin story of the Master Chief *Halo 4: Forward unto Dawn* is a prequel for Halo 4 and introduces Lasky, a new character in Halo 4 *Halo Nightfall* is a prequel for Halo 5 and introduces Locke, a new character in Halo 5 *Halo Legends* is a collection of anime short movies in the Halo Universe, similar to Star Wars Visions.

Halo is basically but gaming origins . These games hold dear to my heart. Thank you guys for covering it . Love ya guys congrats on sub count ! 100k on the way !!

The Scene at 27:10 is so much more powerfull when you know that this is Cortanas Chip and that Masterchief misses her

Really miss playing as the Arbiter and miss Sgt. Johnson. Rest in Power Sgt. Johnson

Ja it is incredible that it is the twelfth anniversary of this game hehehe I feel something old when I played it for the first time at 9 years old

Is it just me or does the music send chills down anyone else's spine?

Man i remember my ol man showing his child side when he saw the Halo 3 Starry Night trailer back in the day

Halo is the Best Game Series EVER!!! I should definitely play the series.

I honestly love you two. I discovered your channel recently and I relate to you guys so much. It’s fun watching videos with you guys.

I still shiver a bit when watching the odst fighting the brutes , so well made

This was my Childhood, i miss it.

Also check out Halo Infinite’s “Become” trailers and archives. It’s definitely similar to Halo 3’s “Believe” marketing which was brilliant

Halo 3 is my favorite Halo of all time. Campaign is epic and I sunk an ungodly amount of hours into Multiplayer with friends.

I can think of a couple trailers and particularly a few cutscenes that I wish this montage included just to give you more context and hype with each game, especially about the Flood, Forerunners and the Human-Elite's union. Regardless, was nice to watch you two enjoy my favourite gaming franchise :)

I would really like if you include the newest halo infinite shorts, the archives. They are amazing and brilliant and simple and you should definitely do a reaction video on em

I think my favorite halo trailer ever probably has to be Starry Night.I can’t explain it

People don’t know how much lore there is in halo. They just see it as a game. It’s much more than that

It's only on the Xbox. But one actor I Liked from Halo is Keith David. He was on Halo 2.

I am surprised y'all didn't watch all the Halo 3 trailers and all the Halo Reach trailers, those were truly spectacular.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who sneezes 4+ times in a row

I have said it before and I say it again, the ammount of effort they put into the commercial campaign for halo 3 was beyond anything I have seen. The props, the live action trailers, the orchestras. It was a golden age for video games

AT LAST I BEING WAITING THESE MOMENT TO REACT TO IT

Damn, ths Nostalgia of the Halo series. I am so glad you guys are getting to experience this now, as I remember growing up with all of this as a baby and a child.

Perfect timing. The Halo Infinite free to play multiplayer just dropped for its 20th anniversary. Today has been a very exciting day

the jumpscare at the end was hilarious if you didn't catch what he said he said "Hi"

5:10 Oh!, That's the best.

While I'll always be a Doom fan first and foremost, halo is a close second for the greatest FPS of all time in my opinion. Can never go wrong with some Halo.

I remember ALL of these. The first Halo & original XBOX came out when I was in high school. I was 17, and played Halo: Combat Evolved two weeks after release when a friend brought his brand new XBOX over to another friend's house one day when I was skipping school on a Friday lol. There were about 10 of us, and we played for the entire weekend straight, never left the damn living room. I was immediately hooked and have been a massive fan since. Other than the Zelda and Final Fantasy franchises, this was the biggest impact on my gaming life and still remains so to this day. And I am glad to see Halo Infinite is going to be a return to the franchise roots in many ways. It's going to be a pretty awesome next few years, at least once they fix some of the glaring problems plaguing Infinite's launch (no Forge, no co-op, severe lack of traditional playlists for multiplayer, broken/buggy custom games, glitchy theater mode, awful progression system, and seriously lacking game modes like Firefight & Infection). As much money as was spent on the game, and over 6 years of development (only 1 of which was affected by COVID), they really dropped the ball on the launch. But given the attention and dedication they've shown to The Master Chief Collection over the last few years that has really made that game the behemoth it was always meant to be, I at least have hope that Infinite will be brought up to the standard the fans hold for this franchise. It's all just a matter of when, and whether it will happen quick enough to save it from the disastrous launch it's current set to go through. Hopefully it will be. The gameplay is finally back to a place where it is actually fun again and *feels like* Halo again.

Man I was really hoping you'd react to the Halo 5 opening cinematic, that's one of my favorites.

I have been playing halo for 19 years and it is such a treasure. I was a kid when i played through the Halo: CE campaign.. good days.

Fun fact: Sgt Avery Johnson (The AA you see often in the earlier halos) is a SPARTAN-1 ! Alot of fans of the series don't even know this! Spartan-1's had kids that were born with the augmentations from the spartan program and needed shots frequently to stay alive, they were called SPARTAN-1.1's If you realllllyyyy wanna dive into the story of Halo even more. Pick up the books! I'm not a big reader and they were a series that I couldn't put down from beginning to end.

Thank you so much !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ great video

The other spartan that was rated hyper lethal was Master Chief

One of the best trailers out there in my eyes is the Tv spot for Halo:Reach - Deliver hope. The music, the cinematography, the action! That is for me without a doubt one of the best trailers made for halo! Kinda shocked it didnt maky your video! Remember Reach!

Hell yeah, I would enjoy watching you guys playing the series!

Little backstory about the first Spartans. Before humanity had contact with the Covenant, Earth's colonies were starting to develop insurrections and ONI (the intelligence and black ops division of Earth's military) decided to develop in secret a new type of soldier that could put down hot spots quickly and quietly. They abducted large groups of children and trained them to be the ultimate soldiers. When they were old enough, the candidates underwent extreme surgeries. Their bones were reinforced with extremely durable plating, and they were subjected to genetic modification to make them bigger and several times stronger than the average human. Those that survived the surgeries were given Mjolnir armor suits that further enhanced their strength and durability. Master Chief was one of the first Spartans and quickly rose to become one of the best. When humanity made first contact with the Covenant, it quickly became clear that a new kind of weapon would be needed to fight them. So by sheer luck, the Spartans were made just in time to lead the fight.

Super excited for Halo Infinite. Looks like 343 might have gotten it right this time

*Arbiter casually QuickDraws a Carbine Rifle*

This is my 2nd favorite game of all time thank you for this amazing game reaction its awesome the music is so good awesome flawless so much cant say enjoy it and if have time play it very good.

All the Halo campaign's are co-op and and aren't too bad of a couples activity. glad to hear you guys wanna play them on the channel C:

When you see the backstory of master chief in the Spartan twos, they are augmented so that their suits don’t break their bones, that’s why they’re all cut up

As a person whose played only Halo side games, like ODST and Reach, I can say they are great. If you ever want to listen to a soundtrack to go to sleep, play ODST's track with the rain still in. It's so relaxing it's almost mediative, while still holding to the atmosphere. As for Reach. Well, the game is great! Though if you know the story of reach, the games events aren't too much of a spoiler or a surprise. But, it does have a good amount of emotion to it that tugs just right.

Reach was Bungie's last Halo game and my god they went out with a bang.

Congratulations! Road to 100k!

Thank God I have you guys and I catch a breath and you give me a relief from school Also congratulations we are getting closer to 100k #roadto100k

I love your guy's channel doods!

Okay… now you need to react to every cutscene in the halo games. That’s your next stop for halo!!!!!

I didn't see the story gameplay breakdown. But young naive cortana seems like such a fresh but fun jump from the old one.

Halo Reach is rather a prequel to the Master Chief story, it’s campaign is a masterpiece and I really recommend playing it !!!

I know you guys have already watched it a few times now, but the literal assassins creed revelations trailer by tobuscus is a pretty funny take on it and you might enjoy it! He also has plenty of other trailers mostly a little older games tho. If you’re taking suggestions ofc!

Awesome!!! Road to 100k... It's been a long road indeed.

Starry Night to this day gives me chills.

Was hoping you two would react to Halo at some point, so happy that you are reacting to so much of it at once! :) I honestly hope you react to some Lore videos of Halo similar to how you've done with Warhammer. The Spartans, the Flood, the Covenant and the Forerunners are all incredibly cool to learn about!

I think you two would enjoy watching all the cutscenes of the Halo games. Give it a shot!

I am a bit late, but just to mention it: The trailers he liked are for the most hated halo game. The trailer she liked was for halo 3 and was ment as pilot teaser for the Halo movie back then. I guess it was made by Steven Spielberg. But the whole movie was scratched and we got District 9 instead with a lot of props made originally for this landfall trailer

Dunno if this is something you guys want to add to the growing list, but Halo Landfall and ODST behind the scenes are really interesting to watch. Problem is that these clips are scattered.

Halo Reach always gets me emotional, such a beautiful story & awesome characters, 😭 damn it...

Atriox being able to defy the Covenant with only a few hundred Brutes, and grow an army millions wide using the Covenants resources is so crazy.

Happy bday to the game of my childhood!

okay so its time to celebrate wow's 17th anniversary too :) good reactions as always btw 😊

It was awesome seeing you guys watch these trailers in almost complete silence (Of course comments will be made, but thank you guys for not talking over the entirety of the videos) and complete respect to a game series you guys aren't die hard fans of

Absolutely fantastic video, and incredible halo videos, the live action ones, are amazing. Keep being awesome. Did you do the halo 3 first announcement trailer

So, what you saw in the Halo 4 Scanned trailer was a brief synopsis of the history of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and the 74 other Spartan-IIs. Kidnapped from their homes and replaced by doomed to die flash clones at the age of 6 back in 2517, they were conscripted and indoctrinated into the UNSC military to become supersoldiers to combat human rebellion amongst the colonies. In 2525, at 14, they went through physical and chemical augmentations, a process that killed half of them. That same year, the Covenant appeared, and the Spartan-IIs were pressed into service a bit ahead of schedule. From there, they saw some of the most brutal campaigns of the entire 27 year long war. By the time it was all over, John, the Master Chief, was presumed the only remaining Spartan-II, though a small handful have popped up in the years since the end of the war. By the time of Halo 4, the UNSC has moved on to the far more ethical Spartan-IV Program, which recruits from the existing military. These are the Spartan recruits you see in the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Intro. In between those two were the Spartan-IIIs, who were essentially child suicide soldiers sent deep behind enemy lines to buy humanity time in exchange for their lives.

damn that made me want to have a halo marathon

You guys should totally play the entire halo series!

Yes I grew up with the game and I’m so happy

halo war 2 trailer is a must watch aswell

i hope we can watch the Crysis 3 story compilation together... this is so epic 😮

forgot that Halo 3 ODST use to be called Halo 3 Recon

halo is a game that i had the most restarts. more than dark souls. not cuz i kept dying, but cuz marines kept dying and i kept reloading the game in order to make sure every single one survived. usually in a game, whenever an npc that fights along u dies, it means theyre expendable and not important. but for some reason, the marines that fight alongside u against aliens twice their size were not expendable to my eyes, and i would feel bad whenever one of em would die OORAH!

Noble Six and Master Chief are considered to be the most lethal of all the Spartans.
