Halo: Hunt the Truth - Season 1 (With Visuals) Complete Supercut 

Ikr

Personally I think it works better as an audio series

@@RookBone I agree, though a live action TV show would be awesome to see.

Personally I'd love to see animated movies based on the books.

I so wish it would be animated by Netflix or Hulu!!

It was the Keegan guy from key and Peele, great direction

They should have been allowed to write infinite as well.

First red flag when I first watched this. John was abducted at 6 like all the others and his clone died soon after. I love the how they did the descent down the rabbit hole in this.

Halsey: Yer a spartan John! John: a wot? Halsey: a spartan! John: but I’m just John!

@@GODZILLAFAN45 oh shit yeah, some of the flash clones survived for years after abduction.

I think any other story line would've been better than the finished game's. But yes, I was genuinely interested in this one and looking forward to Halo 5 as a result. Too bad they ended up doing what they did.

The thing is, I actually really liked Halo 4's story and loved what 343i did with that. I was looking forward to a continuation of that story but with Halo 5 they decided to reinvent the franchise _again,_ and for me that was a massive miscalculation. Talk about taking one step forward and two steps back.

Halo 5 wasn't a "bad game". It really wasn't. I liked the idea of the squad-based combat (yes, it could have been better but that's for another day). I think the biggest problem that H5 had was that all of the content released to tease the game essentially advertised a completely different story line than what shipped. I think that surprise is what made a lot of fans feel like there was a bait'n'switch.

RIP

Ironically since there's suspense and such

usually i get shittons of anxiety listening to HtT but whatever floats your boat

So much hype waiting each week for the new episode haha. Still a great listen.

Technically an audio play rather than a book, but otherwise correct.

Yeah... the truth to why Halo 5 is such a terrible game.

2024, I WILL HUNT THE TRUTH TILL THE ENDS OF THE UNIVERSE

I don’t remember anyone specifically hating this, at least anyone that actually listened to it all. I think people more so hated how this set up for such a great story that we didn’t see anything in halo 5 besides a little tussle between chief and Locke

Yeah, I've never really heard any hugely negative reaction to HtT from fans. I will say, though, that one of the things that the awful Halo TV series has highlighted is how many Halo fans actually consider the UNSC to be "good guys." There's a million things wrong with the TV series, but the depiction of the UNSC is actually pretty accurate. But the amount of Halo fans who declared "They've made the UNSC out to be evil, but they're the good guys who saved the human race from the Covenant!" 🤦‍♂️ The UNSC have always been evil in Halo. Right back to the Fall of Reach days. You just don't see it in the games because the games are focused on the conflict with the Covenant and the UNSC are the military power fighting them. I hate to go to the Yazi comparison, but imagine if the Yazis succeeded in taking over the world, Wolfenstein style. They spend 50 years ruling the Earth with an iron fist. Then aliens invade Earth. Who's going to be humanity's best hope of defeating the aliens? The Yazis. Does that mean the Yazis are _good?_ Of course it doesn't. They would still be as evil as they ever were. The UNSC, and ONI who controls it, are an oppressive, authoritarian dictatorship that commits crimes against humanity on a daily basis. They also happen to control the largest, most powerful human military force in existence, which means they're the defacto prime candidates to defend the human race from a genocidal alien threat that wants to wipe out every human in existence. Evidently, a LOT of Halo fans have a hard time wrapping their heads around this. Their thought process seems to be "Covenant = Bad. UNSC fights Covenant, therefore UNSC = Good." This logic seems to be all too commonplace across society right now, sadly. So maybe that explains why some might dislike HtT. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah people don’t realize that there’s an actual reason why the innies exist in the first place lol they also forget that the Spartan program was initially created to deal with the innies. Which is really fucked when you consider how overkill they are against marines or even ODSTs. If the covenant hadn’t come into the picture just imagine how many war crimes the Spartans would have committed following ONI’s orders lol

@@hoemie2587 Exactly, and even more screwed up when you consider that some of the Spartans _were_ Innies kidnapped from Innie colonies. I will say, though, that the Innies aren't exactly innocent victims, either. They blow up innocent civilians all the time without a shred of remorse, and some of their leaders are just as tyrannical as the UNSC. With all that in mind, Halo kind of qualifies as part of the Grimdark genre. None of the various factions are really "good," they're all shltty in their own way, whether it be the Covenant, UNSC, Innies, and now the Banished. Hell, even the Forerunners were pretty corrupt and brutal when they wanted to be. Shining through all that darkness, though, is the Master Chief's instinctual morality, his desire to do good, to protect others and help people whenever possible. I see Halo as a story of the best traits of humanity, that spark of light that religious people call divine, that atheists call the numinous, persevering against overwhelming darkness and ultimately triumphing. I also like how, as grim as the Halo universe is for being full of nothing but various horrible factions competing for power - and committing atrocities to each other as well as their own - it also depicts that within all these horrible factions, even the alien ones, there's still decent individuals trying to reach that light and do what's right. I waffled on a bit there.

@@JadeRunner oh definitely I’m not defending the innies I’m just pointing out that they are a product of the atrocities committed by the UNSC/ONI. You described the things I love in the halo universe perfectly. This is why I really really enjoyed hunt the truth because just by playing the games your kinda tricked into thinking the UNSC are “the good guys” when in reality nothing is black and white, just like real life. I also love ONI cuz their propaganda is so good that even halo game only fans fall for it lol

Halo 5 went through about two or three iterations during development. Originally it was going to continue the story of Halo 4 and been about the Didact and Jul Mdama (which I would've been massively on board with). Then they scrapped this and went through a few other ideas before the whole "Cortana goes full Skynet" nonsense. I think Hunt the Truth was written while Halo 5 was in one of those middle iterations.

Bonely _ I’d buy it if it follows the more “dark” halo story and what happened during the spartan 2’s program with kids being kidnapped and tested on.

@@MrKillroy26 Well shit now we arent getting that from Telltale regardless lmao

Bonely _ I know rip the dream

343 Industries.

I don't really want a choice-based halo game. I like having clear lore. This would make the lore diverge. Or if only certain choices are cannon, then what's the point of having choices.

It was supposed to mislead us as this is how ONI works, I am happy with what we got with the exception of Jul's death, way too easy to kill such a great character. I also feel that longer cutscenes would have been better, they all end so abruptly.

@@MartinAslaksen Not to mention some cutscenes set up questions that’ve never been answered. Like Locke saying “you’re not the only one here because of him.” I still don’t know what that means, or how it’s a justified response to Buck lol I like Halo 5. Definitely missed the mark with how it told it’s story, but I love what it was trying to do and what it was setting up. Shame it was all so quickly wrapped up and resolved with Infinite. Imaging the action blockbuster showdown Halo 6 could’ve been before Infinite starts.

Ha, thanks. :)

@@TheIdiotNamedJoe question is will that be part of Halo Infinite? Seeing how HiddenXperia and Installation 00 did a collab on the idea of resurrecting the plot point that was suppose to be in Halo 5

ONI is making too many enemies, including of their own people, for it to be sustainable. Eventually, instead of making everyone fight each other so that you can control the situation... Everyone is going to realize that ONI is the damn problem and have no issue working together to ruin them. ONI is not as clever as they'd like to think they are. And they've gone far too long without oversight or checks of power and too far down the rabbit hole and justifying their continued escalation off the deep end by telling themselves that they know what they're doing and they're doing it for a good reason. And, at this point, the only reason why some in the UEF/UNSC don't just outright tear down ONI is because ONI has done such horrific and inexcusable shit that if even a small percentage of the truth of what they've done got out that most of human space would be at war so furiously that it would make the Insurrectionist War and Operation: TREBUCHET look like kids pulling each others hair and, also, pissing off huge swaths of the Elites that are going to want to go to war because of the underhanded shit that they were doing. ONI, at this point, is one of the most dangerous things to the stability of humanity. And instead of getting that story we got... Brian Reed making UltronCortana something-something Copy-Didact.exe and... I don't even care, it was all dumb.

matchesburn maybe UltronCortana will take out oni in the crossfire with the chief and everyone else? But I’d like to see chief and cortana team up again and tear oni down.

So far… nothing

THATS WHAT I KEPT THINKING TOO

No, it's after Halo 4 and before Halo 5. They talk about New Mombassa which is Halo 2. Halo 2 jumps pretty much right into Halo 3 and then into Halo 4.

@@anatomicalx9355 the reason I say it's before Halo 4 or even during is because of the fact that earth thought Chief was dead. In Hunt The Truth season 2 They're just finding out about chief, hell even Halsey thought he was dead until the events of Spartan Ops. New Mombasa was in halo 2 yes, then chief carries on with his tasks and we get halo 3. (The reason why the timeline is so fucked up is because of the whole Bungie and 343 problem.) Ben's story is more towards the End of Halo 3 and Maya/Fero's story is like beginning-mid Halo 4.

I think the UNSC didn't make Chief's death public until the Middle of Halo 4's Campaign or even sometime before that. Remember he was in cryo for sometime

Trust me, I really want to piece this all together.

@@jeremiahporter2992 Hunt the Truth is set in 2558, Halo 4 is set in 2557

I can't stand adds that occur during videos so I don't put any in on mine. I figure before and after is fair game, but during is just obnoxious.

Game Theory agreed. I don't even mind 30 second adverts w/o skips. As long as it's before the vid!

@@gametheory7533 Plus it would be copyrighted, so lol

Thank you. :)

@@gametheory7533 it took 2 years to respond to that.

@@edragyz8596 It took another 6 months to respond to yours. ;)

@@gametheory7533 facts

birch condor yes it was started as an advertisment for halo 5

Yeah, it is. Made by 343i themselves. There's even a few voice actors from the games doing different characters in this, though everyone was uncredited for it.

birch condor *canon

I never even noticed that, good catch. :)

That whole scene is awesome and hilarious for me

😂😂

Haha yeah I loved Ray

"SIT DOWN RAY" Okay... :(

To be honest I always saw the Spartan story the way it's depicted here. If you really think about what's described in the Eric Nylund books it's horrific. It surprises me how many fans just kind of look past it and see it all through the rose tinted glasses of the Spartan's themselves. I've even had debates with some of my friends because I assert that Master Chief is essentially brainwashed, living a miserable life that's been forced upon him but he's so indoctrinated he doesn't realize how miserable he is, but my friends see it the way the UNSC / ONI paints it: a hero who's been gifted these superpowers by ONI and is kicking ass saving the world and having a blast. :S

@@gametheory7533 I read all the books and what I fail to understand is that why is suddenly dr halsey the scapegoat for making the flash clones when oni top brass signed off on both the spartan 2 and 3 programs. Halsey wanted to give peace of mind to those families. The 140 clones engineered to die is horrific but so is 280 parents and more siblings never knowing or finding out and always wondering what happened. This was explored in glasslands book where a grown spartan naomi meets her father who always suspected oni kidnapped his daughter because he also found another parent whose boy was suddenly strange and sick. Fucking ONI man. Halsey killed clones because she tried to give the families closure, but they didn't have to sign off on it, and later take the high road of offloading the burden and responsibility to halsey alone.

@@kfj6709 I will never get this Halo community sentiment of apologizing and defending Halsey and the retconning to make the defense work. We've seen multiple times that Halsey had... issues... with identifing and empathizing with other people. And it wasn't until very, very late in the Spartan program that her tiny, minuscule, microscopic and atrophied conscience even decided to give the slightest hint of doubt. I don't think she's a full blown psychopath (By the way, if you're thinking the stereotypical Hollywood/media definition of psychopath to be "slash, hack, murder, wear fingers as a necklace type" - don't. Go by the medical and psychological definition of psychopathy which is much, much more nuanced and clear-cut. Fun Fact: there's many CEOs, scientists, politicians, ect. that are actually legitimate psychopaths and could potentially be diagnosed as such. And that's probably the reason WHY they are successful. And, ironically, psychopaths tend to be model prisoners when they are caught doing something because they know how to work and play with the system. They are smart individuals that also don't really care much about anything that isn't them. Sound familiar? It should, Halsey fits a lot of the prerequisites.), but she's... in the same vein. Just look at how god damn uncaring and blase she is with Noble team, including Jorge, in Halo: Reach. And, yes, yes, I'm sure I'll hear defenses of her behavior of "W-W-Well, she was stressed because... R-Reach was being invaded by the Covenant" or people not even noticing her behavior. I'm sorry, but no. This was not an isolated case. The woman was interested in science and technology. And the human children that were used for the SPARTAN-II were the means to experiment to advance that. Dr. Halsey is not this god damn tragic and sympathetic hero you lot want to make her out to be. Is ONI being duplicitous in trying to pin the blame on her? Of course! Does that somehow NOT make her the 26th century equivalent of Dr. Mengele? ...No. She is a guilty party and willfully and knowingly did... absolutely horrific things that were beyond illegal and did so, many times, eagerly and without a thought to anything but herself and the research. Stop. Defending. Her. There is a REASON why so many characters in the Halo universe absolutely despise Halsey - because she has been a despicable person.

matchesburn TLDR

@@ImSpun13 "DR" We know.

You should listen to the "I Love Bees" audiostory that's just like this and it was an ad campaign for Halo 2.

Honestly i'd like to Hunt the Truth on that. I believe there was a rewrite for some unknown reason because things in the game dont match up with statements we received from 343 at all. This is just my opinion though it may not be true.

And then the bullshit that was infinte

Key* is his last name. Jordan Peele is the other guy that wrote Get Out

I thought so!

I didn’t realize until half way through the first season. I was interested before but I was obsessed after I found out.

I'm pretty sure Mashok (or h/e you spell it, the conspiracy guy) is Benny Blanco

Get Out was such horseshit. 🤣

And his ONI guide was Crazy Steve?

Obsidian Ramirez I heard that as well but I thought it was just a person who sounded similar

probably was. if I remembered correctly, alot of the member of public's audio was taken from real life halo youtuber audios.

343i held a contest of sorts between the previous episode's release and that one. Anyone could record their own 30 second phone call in character either defending the Chief or condemning him and email it to 343i who would pick the 'best' ones to use in the next episode. So it probably was him.

The part where sully said "Halo is Halo." I cried and clapped Halo/10 would Halo again

I think most of them don't realize that the Spartan IIs went through against their will. There's a few instances in the books were a character finds out and is like "Holy shit..."

I mean Spartans aren't human not really. Part of the augmentation was deadening their emotions and desires and they are brainwashed to be loyal soldiers.

@@CodeeXD just because they got modified after the fact, doesn't change their species. And no, the emotions are not deliberately interfered with, more that the spartans were trained with such discipline and self suficiency that it appeared as if they had no emotions. if you read the books, you will realise that they do indeed feel, they push it down and get on with their duty. Halsey was one of the very few non spartans capable of reading their body language and understanding them.
