In memory of Martin, the flag runner and my best friend.
Still miss you, bruh.
June 17, 1988 - December 19, 2009
-------------
*READ HERE FIRST*
Note that this match happened a loooong time ago, like 1 or 2 months after Halo 3 was released, so, we didn't know about the drop/pickup tecnique back then (ok, thats from halo 1, from wthat ive heard, but I never played CTF before halo 3 xD). Also, the Flag Runner is not me, per se, its a RL friend, a true n00b, playing as a guest. I posted the video cuz all o'this happened at my place. The real "me" is the hammer dude who gets splattered by the chopper (lol). So, it is epic, and a clear example of n00b luck.

This couldn't be repeated even if it was practiced for thousands of years, let alone by accident like this. He just keeps running in a straight line, which is usually suicide, his team mates are dying around him, all chaos has broken loose, vehicles are gunning for him and missing my millimetres, but he just keeps on running straight without looking or anything just kept his legs moving and his eyes on the prize hahaha

This is the first video I ever favorited on RU-vid back in 2007. Looking back it's amazing what I've lived through since then. I had not known Martin passed away until just now, but I, at least, will definitely remember him forever.

@VanZeph 8 лет назад

Well, it's been a while since I last checked my videos. And I have to say, thanks everyone for watching and for remembering Martin, it makes very happy. Some of you were asking who he was. He was (and will always be) my best friend. My bro. So again, thank you all for all your comments even after all this time.

I read a notice about a Xbox User Halo Fan, called "thecrzedspartan". At some point he lost their daughters and 343i give to him a special gift. You can read the notice here: www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/spartans-never-walk-alone If you can get in contact with some dev's, maybe they are going to hear you.

This is the point where I should say may your friend rest in peace, but that's not true, because even in heaven he's still running with the flag and making dank plays ;)

I've watched this video countless times throughout the years. Every time I watch this, the nostalgia builds up in my body greater and greater. But it also makes me full of remorse for our dear friend Martin who has died. Watching this video made me realize something very important. No matter what life throws at us, you keep moving forward, no matter what. Never look back. Martin was fighting cancer and inevitably, died. But we all know he never really died. Because Spartans never die. They just go missing in action. Halo 3 will always be the best Xbox 360 game. Rest in paradise Martin. You will never be forgotten because of this.

And Martin is who we all were. We will never forget him and who we all were. o7, legend. Thank you for keeping this moment alive for all of us who were there.

I distinctly remember thinking to myself, 'We've got this, we're definitely getting our flag back.' The whole time, I was just baffled, wondering how on earth we didn't manage to retrieve our flag. I was like 9 years old lmao.

Out of my entire Halo career from Halo CE, to now, this is hands down THE most epic Halo replay I've ever seen! He picked up the flag and look straight at his victory mark and never once looked back. He had the eye of the tiger, looking straight at his victory mark ahead of him. Battle all around, took four hits, lost his shield, he didn't budge. He stayed steadfast in his victory effort! This man...no...this HERO deserves a permanent place in the Halo players hall-of-fame! God bless you, man.

My mind was blown when halo 5 released without splitscreen. Had they simply included that I would have got an xbone as soon as it released. Gaming is so much less social nowadays. Halo n chill used to be a goto in high school to get under a blanket on the couch with a girl. In freshman year of HS only one of my friends had an xbox 360 so I used to bike 8 miles each way so we could splitscreen halo for hours on end. I'm only 24 but watching this makes me feel old af.

This shot at 1:59 is terrifying, The chopper seems like a Predator ready to pounce on its prey. My heart stops every time I see this part, even though I know what's going to happen next. 2:08 I absolutely love this shot, with the music as the camera pans around, the Chopper hits the handbrakes and does a sharp turn swerving back so fiercely, and again finding itself only inches away from running over our hero. Barley making it out in the nick of time, he leaps his way to the finish. Utterly beautiful. Truly, a time capsule to Halo fans.
