Entire Halo Story in 3 Minutes (Halo Animation) 

the story existed way before the chief lmao!

@@monomazin101 I still feel he should have been mentioned at the end and why he was created? I mean the entire damn game series is centered around him lol

@@MrPositive3D The arbiter had a main role aswell, masterchief couldn't have made it without him.

He didn't actually mention any specific character. Just the races. It's impossible to compile it into 3 minutes while also mentioning specific characters...

@@rattled4806 yup, agreed

Oh sorry😁

+Diego E. Rodriguez To be fair it is a wonderful and punny coincidence.

True it had me laughing

+colebowlin68 Which is ridiculous, because "Common Era" means literally nothing.

colebowlin68 No, Common Era doesn't mean anything. AD means something. Common Era and Before Common Era were created as a way for people to take religion out, and not acknowledge it. At least that's my understanding of it.

or cod

hhmjh

need a cough drop

Mortal kombat is easy to understand, did you mean his video on mortal kombat?

.

Ain't that a bitch?

isn't that a bitch

Loved* 343 has made the game so garbage lmao

Forgotten Syrup i agree completely. i enjoyed reach but they should have stopped there.

+jay pad yeah same

The precursors thought they could regenerate them selfs by turning into dust but failed.

No, they were just so shocked that one of their own creations would willingly rebel. They couldn't bring themselves to kill, in their eyes, their children, so they either fled to another galaxy (failed, the Forerunners pursued and destroyed them), or made plans to "die" and return. But that didn't really work as attested to in the video.

+cannonfodder343 The ones that didn't leave the galaxy or turn themselves into dust let themselves be eradicated.

+jay pad You asked why they didn't fight back, I answered.

Lol that's what i though

If the rings get activated, everyone will have halos over their heads. XD

Lol imagine the afterlife hilarity that would have ensued if The Covenant had succeeded. *in the afterlife/heaven/underworld/whatever* Prophets: Holy crap it worked! We've finally ascended! Humans: Ahem... Prophets: Wait...how are you guys here?! Aren't the worthy the only ones allowed to be here? Humans: No, dumbass. Don't you see? We're all DEAD! You idiots didn't ascend anything: you guys just blew up the entire galaxy! Literally! Forerunner: Oh wow, quite a lot of newcomers today. We never had this many dead people come at once since we activated...the...halo...oh shit please don't tell me you idiots actually activated them for something stupid.

+joshua kim Humans *Points to San Shyumm* They did it.

Yep

splitscreen xbox version was the ONLY reason halo sold well and got its fame. i myself was a huge fan and would binge co op with my friends

I remember those summers, I used to play Halo from my neighbor/best friend's family room window because they couldn't have anyone in the house when their parents weren't home.

John Steel the good ol days eh :)

John Steel Lmao that's so strange

Wilson Gang now we have 343 2 thank 4 removing that nostalgia

Don't need to.

he wasn't a big part of the story here, only the ending 4 seconds xD

englisheskim0 hes only the specific character you follow the rest of the main story still stands

englisheskim0

You forgetting Rookie (Halo 3 ODST) and Noble 6?(Halo reach)

Anton Babani LOL ISIS REKT

You don't know the meaning of story do you?

It's a shame how 10 years ago people LAUGHED at the notion that Call of Duty would turn into Halo and vice versa, YET HERE WE FUCKING ARE. GOD IS DEAD AND WE HAVE FUCKING KILLED HIM!!

YA LETS FUCKIN PROTEST YA

😂😂😂

cuz we were the ones that formed the MLG alliance

+Magika Probably well yes, no...

.... yeah.. still no in 8th grade you gona learn some history, hopefuly

you are no where near that age is because you are older or younger?

well in that case you won the argument

That's correct.

Kinda funny huh? The San'shyuum and humans were at one point allies, and yet now they're enemies. How weird things can be if you let them part ways for a couple thousand years.

yesh

+some guy online thats made by some other guys at LORE but still would be cool

+some guy online i Just wanted to write this :D

+Olek Jezierski I like the way you think ;D

Yes!

for me it ended with halo 3. halo reach the game destroys canon and changes facts of the halo universe tho so i do not count it. love halo wars tho. halo wars is proof you can expand on the franchises past and fill stuff in without destroying or changing canon

In what way did Reach change the lore and facts about Halo? It was a prequel to the first Halo game.

after this answer imma clock out of this because im sooo tired of saying this stuff man. in halo lore the pilar of autumn was not even created as a military ship, it was civilian and acquired by the UNSC and refitted as a military vessel. it NEVER in its entire lifespan made landfall on the planet reach EVER. the spartans in the halo: reach video game did not eksist as a team and at the time of the invasion and fall of the planet Reach they were either somewhere else in the galaksy entirely or were dead, since almost no spartan-II's were left alive AT ALL by this point, let alone 6 from the Reach video game + master chief + whomever else. i think there was like 6 total spartan-II's alive in the galaksy? in fact the chief once even thought about it, how nearly every spartan besides himself was dead but to keep up morale the UNSC intentionally mismarked them as MIA (missing in action) even though they usually had proof they were dead or good reason to believe it. the chief went over witch spartan-II's he knew were dead and the VERY few were in question (he didnt KNOW were dead or not but they more than likely were) the only other spartans i remember being sure were still alive were the ones training the spartan-III's in secret after faking a spartan-II's death to use him as there teacher. halo 4 changed a lot of lore as well, one of the most blatant was that the UNSC had almost 100% completely depleted its arsenal of nuclear weapons in the opening months of the war against the covenant and these weapons had too little effect and were too costly to make in resources and means so almost none of the UNSC ships in the entire universe had nukes, in fact the UNSC upper brass had said that the pirates likely had more nukes than all the UNSC. and the ship you start out on in halo 4 is supposed to be the same ship you ended the game in in halo 3's ending, to prove that the ship was even cut in half just like it, and the name was the same too, but if you look at the ships design on the outside in terms of bulk, dimensions, and shape it is NOT the same ship at all, not even close. and the ship in the end of halo 3 did not have a nuclear arsenal, not even a single nuke, and yet in halo 4 it had multiple nuke silos on its hull. microsoft changed lore many times, bungie originally had humans being descended from the forerunners and the big connecting hints were things like humans being reclaimers, people say that only master chief was called "the reclaimer" but if you read one of the earliest books covering halo 1, the chief comes across a dead body in the library that musta been someone else that had been brought there to do the same thing he was brought there for? and that humans were the ones specifically able to use forerunner technology at will and yet no species of the covenant could access dangerous or high level forerunner tech like the halo rings controls. the robot people created for halo 4 were never meant to eksist, and the flood was meant to be not some reculmination of some even older race reforming into a parasite. so much lore got jacked man.

Indeed. Spartan III's were never on Reach during the Battle of Reach.

Noble team is a Spartan 3 fireteam; however, because of their individual capabilities they were given the MJOLNIR armor of the Spartan 2 and assigned to the special DreamTeam known as Nobel

+Michael Weston Your point?

Why's the little brown alien baby in the thumbnail look fresh as fuck

Thats the dumb 343 addition to the story, not the original Bungie story

KurasakiBleachigo1 oh I see

Michael Weston the original design for the forerunners was amazing. A great nearly-perfect race that we see as sort of our parents in evolution. They lead us with leftover trails and we're thankful to them. unfortunately they died out due to the flood, and knowing they were going extinct, they set up humans to be the new protectors of the universe

Rin's Everything yes XD

lmao

Ofc bro

They're from a trilogy of novels collectively known as the Forerunner Saga, individually titled: _Cryptum, Primordium,_ and _Silentium._

Lennard Church Church! Your alive?

Agent Indiana church is alive PRASE JESUS

Wild Skittles THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!

Agent Indiana WHO CARES! JESUS IS ALIVE!

Lol

Love your rants, bro.

Maple Otaku Thanks! :)

You mean since the 1st game?

Pffffffft! Halo has always been Mythos-level scary! 40k Old Ones? Pah, meet the Precursors. Eldar Empire? Heh heh, cute. Meet the Forerunner Ecumene. Imperium of Man? H/C War Covenant.

Correct. The best laid plans are doomed to fail when one is trying to undermine literal godlike beings. The Precursors had a plan for the Flood, beyond destroying the Forerunners.

It also doesn't help when you keep a few specimens in laboratories to experiment on!

+ShadowGamer101st 2012* Halo 4 exists dont try to hide it

***** Wait what? where in my post did I say Halo 4 doesn't exists?

***** Halo 4 was when Halo declined not 5

***** But Halo 5 was the death blow.

***** Halo 5 is better than halo 4

Why, 343i actually is more true to the lore then Bungie. Halo 4 had a great story and 5s wasn't bad, it just had boring characters.

Chillydogdude No I'm not saying cause they're bad, I'm saying cause it would've been 10x longer.

+Retriolov Oh sorry, yeah you're totally right.

+Retriolov should've added red vs blue just to be mean

Yep

Cool, thanks for sharing that tidbit Enrique!

Your Welcome + Thank you SO MUCH for replying. Love your vids.

No problem. Glad to hear you're digging our vids!

ArcadeCloud I also love it teaches me so much :-D keep on doing on what your doing

i thought that forerunner tech would not be able to travel intergalactically. Right?

+Im0rtal_Che3ri0s "this guy" loves Che3rios.

+SmashBits Idk dude, Cheerios taste pretty bland.

+trebl the scrub No.

Chief wasn't that big overall in the Halo story. A shame he didn't show the Arbiter killing the last Prophet though; that's an ACTUAL important moment, because it ended the Human Covenant war.

Until 343 ruined it.

that just shows how could the story is ;-)

Zelousmarineinspace he did show the arbiter killing the prophet with an energy sword, it was near the end.

Zelousmarineinspace Well that last scene of the Elite stabbing the prophet was literally the same image of when the Arbiter did it.

+Afham Zaki Haloverse Humans didn't choose to be designated for the Mantle of Responsibility for All Things by the Precursors and later the Librarian. In Halo 5 Guardians, Master Chief is wise enough to realize that the Mantle is, in his words "an Imperial Peace" and that it is a concept best left forgotten and denied.

+Afham Zaki The original story held that Forerunners were ancient humans, thus explaining why only humans could use Forerunner tech, why 343 Guilty Spark spoke to Chief spoke to Chief as though he was a Forerunner (directly referring to him as a Reclaimer and a Forerunner), and why the portal to the Ark was left on Earth.

Daniel Stearns Guilty Spark was confusing Chief with the Iso-Didact when he said "last time you asked me" in Halo 1, whether from Rampancy induced memory problems or because the fan theory that the Chief is carrying the Iso-Didact's geas by design of the Librarian is true. It was never 100% confirmed that Humans were the Forerunner's descendants when Bungie was running things, just hinted at. 343i made the truth a great deal more complex.

This means you are a filthy alien not part of humanity.

SinDawg030 If Spark thought Chief was Iso-Didact then why did he call Chief a Reclaimer, which to quote Cortana, was the Forerunner word for humans. I think Spark saying "You are Forerunner" to Chief was a clear way of revealing the humans were Forerunners, that and it just made everything make more sense.

+Happie Wolf And bungie ignored it.

+pieman141 They can't really do anything about it. They can talk shit and point out stuff but they sold Halo to 343. You can't really do anything about the paintjob the guy you sold your car too did on it, no matter how shit it is.

Keyser Soze I meant that Bungie ignored the lore. Example: Halo Reach

+Happie Wolf 343 has the EXACT same writers that worked on Halo from the beginning.

KyoBladezen That really doesn't change anything... It's still terrible. Just makes me wonder why the writers would butcher their own work.

Because the Forerunner trilogy of books that most of the really old time period information used in this video is from, were written with about as much creative integrity as a bowl of cold mayonnaise.

Theodore Rosevelt I like that comparison.

They saved humans because they realized they were wrong.

A forerunner life worker (the librarian) along with other forerunners betrayed their race in order to save all the possible living beings,so they kept them save in The Ark,happened a lot of things (you should look more details by your own) and the rings were activated.

This "librarian" was different from the others Forerunner and she felt respect for all kind of live.

cuz of spoilers =

+Fuzzycat It doesn't cover everything

Junior Dianite no really? -_- it covers the main shit, not the filler stuff=3

+Fuzzycat no shit

***** I answered all possible questions .

Not all of them. :P

The Halo games take place in the year 2552, but the backstory for it goes back well over 100 thousand years.

+FireDragons42 I was confused since the last date he shows is 958 bc

EXPLOSIVE STRAWBERRY Yeah, that is about the time when the Elites and the Prophets had their war over how to use Forerunner technology (the Prophets wanted to study it and learn from it believing it to be gifts from the gods, while the Elites revered it but thought that Forerunner sites should not be desecrated and left alone) and eventually formed the Covenant.

+FireDragons42 yes I know now.

This further "proves" my theory that the Gods we worship are merely powerful aliens

It's called halo parasite my frnd.

Actually, the story doesn't end at 3, it continues to 4 and 5. heres a chart if your confused. kotaku.com/5959105/halos-story-got-you-confused-this-chart-might-help

+Andrewx8 88 you're obviously the confused one lol

Your right the future games are just to tell some story's about the forerunners and how mankind re obtains the mantle but the primary story is finished

It is nice to see chief made it off that ship though.

+Mormaxim TheKingslayer They never "Changed" anything.

Bungie never focused on the lore and ignored it. This led to a lot of situations where Bungie screwed it up. 343i wants to show that there is expanded universe. They changed it but they made it better and unlike Bungie they actually acknowledge it. They also didn't change too much, but they more have just revamped it.

Chillydogdude I understand and I still prefer 343's work, I just preferred the old origins.

+Mormaxim TheKingslayer Yesh, I agree Halo 3 is the best. I just done think 343i deserves all the hate they get

it is pretty much the same origin, Bungie just didn't explain it well enough

And Spartan Assualt, And Spartan Strike....

Too bad it uses a lot of the lore made with Halo 4 and 5 to explain the Forerunners and the Precursors. The video also contains a hell lot of inaccurate or directly wrong statements

Me

+Francis De Mesa well the fact that they are covenant slaves and that they break and run half the time also make me spare them

I didn't just image how much humans they will kill

They were actually badass at one point

Depends on their commander and mission.

The Nazi's made zombies in Der Riese. The end. COD has no story..

The Muffin Mann Damn I'm so wrong, don't forget the classic 'we' re getting beat but somehow one squad wins it for us'

+The Muffin Mann yo don't forget about cod ghosts and there advance dogs

100 Percent Truth I understand the campaign has the most retarded plot on earth but he zombies plot is actualy super fucking long and crazy, look at the wikipedia page on it.

That's impossible

Everything presented before 2525 is 343's lore, not just what comes after 2552.

***** Technically, Halo: Reach is higher on the hierarchy of canon than the Fall of Reach novel, So it is definitively canon. The 2010 "Ultimate Edition" of the novel was a retcon to make the novel match the new canon of the game, so we'd have one coherent narrative.

***** And?? Both Reach and Fall of Reach are canon.

***** I'm not sure where you're getting this "either-or" idea from. 343's policy is that in so far as they don't irreconcilably contradict, they are both canon. The presence of the novel does not nullify the events of the game.

+Daiya Shoko STOP THIS BULLSHIT. REACH. IS. CANNON. I'm getting so sick of everyone saying it isn't. So a novel that isn't really taken as a bible in the game (and one titled "Fall of Reach" when there was only 2 fucking hours of Reach in the book) is cannon, but a game that explores the whole war, gives us awesome Spartan 3's to care about, explains how they found Halo, and is perfectly understandable when compared to Halo 1 isn't cannon?? Why the actual fuck to people think this doesn't make sense.

Oh really? Interesting. So the artifacts on Harvest were already enough to spark the war, didnt know that, thanks!

well, this explains nothing about the reclaimer series, plus its not done yet.

Actually, the original series is nowhere near this simple. Thing is, you have to leave A LOT out to make a three minute video. In fact, a lot of what's in the games draws from lore that's been there for a while. A lot of it is new, as well, but not that much more complicated than the lore already in place.

transformersloverjon i know, but i thought the reclaimer series is pretty complicated with even MORE forruner things.

+GamingEtc i think the reclaimer saga just lacks explanation. If everything in it was explained better it would probably seem pretty simple.

'TisWandy I think a simple explanation is this, everyone just wants to be the superior species.

RvsB

This was the main story, not character storys , so i didnt include the story of the master chief , the arbiters story, or any characters storys, so dont harass me

the last like 20 seconds i believe, as the last 30 are not in detail at all because its impossible to fit that much information

14 years before the the human covie war

Brandon Taylor very little he's just a warrior in the bigger picture

5 years late, but the Forerunners were top of the food chain.
