HALO Music Reactions | Blow Me Away - Breaking Benjamin 

fun fact: This Halo song was made for free because Breaking Benjamin were huge fans of Halo.

Cortana "You might want to sit this one out" Breaking Benjamin *starts blowing me away*

In the original Halo 2 this song plays towards the end the level Gravemind in the Covenant Holy City High Charity. It's the very difficult part where Cortana says "You might want to sit this one out," and the Brutes are fighting the Elites and Hunters. There's no lyrics in the game version, it's just the instrumental version of the song. I'm not sure why it wasn't included in the Anniversary edition, maybe the game studio didn't want to pay Breaking Benjamin more money.

isn't Halo 2 unironically the coolest thing ever? This song is about the Master Chief. "I'll be the one to save us all." Breaking Benjamin realized the severity of the state of Humanity in Halo, and Master Chief ended up getting 'lucky' and saving Humanity while simultaneously destroying the Covenant. This ended up aging very well. Long live Halo lol

Ah yes....the theme song of when you just suddenly 'switch on' in Halo multiplayer and proceed from getting stomped to pulling a Killionaire in under a minute....or so the Halo 2/3 montages from back in 2007 would have me believe.

Hearing this song at 6 years old basically informed my entire music taste to this day almost 20 years later lol

This is the song that made Breaking Benjamin They werent popular yet, they did it for free. Also its not in anniversary because of rights. They included a remix instrumental version in Anniversary It WAS in one of the missions on the original

This song is only available if you play the campaign with the classic music and sounds on

There was a big controversy with Breaking Benjamin in 2011 where some of the members made an unauthorized remix of this very song, without the permission of the lead singer. This led to those members being fired by him.

This song will never get old. ^_^

Considering you’re stuck between 2 forces trying to kill each other and both forces also want you dead, the soundtrack was appropriate.

This song coming on at the end of Halo 2 is pretty much up there with Faunts M4 Part 2 playing at the credits of Mass Effect in terms of "Unexpected but very welcome licensed music" in a game.

I was and still am a huge Breaking Benjamin fan and when I heard the instrumental version of this in Halo 2 as a kid it blew me away, still one of my favorite songs and I'm glad Breaking Benjamin is making music again.

Saw them play this live in 2010, I still remember the women next to me ask “why are they playing videos of a game?” Haha

You can listen to this in concert if… You go to a Breaking Benjamin concert. They play it during every concert. I’ve been to 30.

PLEASE start HALO 3 soon!! I really want to see you play it!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

I saw Breaking Benjamin open for Disturbed this past summer and they played this. It's such an awesome song

They play this live almost every show. I saw them with Papa Roach, one of the best concerts ever.

Engaging multiple Elites and Hunters on their home turf, while protecting my Marines. Still stresses me out remembering my first time on this mission.

I love when I see a “This is Breaking Benjamin?!” reaction. Yes. One of the best rock bands of all time.

This song takes me back to early youtube, every video game montage was set to this song it seemed like.

I went to a starset and breaking benjamin concert a while back and they played this live it was sick! Incubus is also in Halo 2

I saw them play this song live in Mansfield Massachusetts at the Xfinity Center. It was incredible!

The PERFECT hype theme for Halo as a whole.

Tripped me out when they rerecorded this in 2011 and it was on the radio again. First time i heard it i thought someone was playing halo 2 at work lol

This song used to be on every other RU-vid video

This song reminds me of Halo MLG back in the day. This song is always a nostalgic trip for me. What a time period.

The days of listening to this on repeat because it was the only song my phone could store

they played this when i went to see them in Glasgow in 2017 and the entire crowd cheered at the start

Also known as the Halo 2 montage/AMV song

Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band and this was the first song I ever heard from them, and this is a huge part of what got me into Halo ❤️

Halo 3 today possibly?

i heard this in concert and it was awesome!!

I’m not a huge listener of this kind of music but this song just hits different, it also helps that i absolutely love halo

Halo 2 was a juggernaut that came out swinging. Absolutely unhinged. You have to react to the Halo 3 song LvUrFR3NZ. It was the winner of a fan submission to get into the official soundtrack, and it's just Halo multiplayer the song.

You saying this is masterchiefs theme song got me thinking what is arbiter’s?

They play this song live, and I fully cried

if u like screaming songs like this. might want to look into the call of duty zombie songs. specificly (naming a few): 115, beauty of annihilation, archangel

I still get a bit watery eyed remembering how excited I was for this release. I had a copy before I had an Xbox, we were playing CE at my friends house for literal hours every day. We'd beat the campaign on every difficulty and then restart it a few days later. I wanna go back

Theres a straight-up song by Incubus called "1st Movement of The Odyssey" that plays on the Arbiters mission when you hope in a banshee to fight the heretic airforces.

LONG LIVE METAL MUSIC, THAT'S STYLE WILL NEVER FADE!!!!!

the song originaly played on high charity in the orbiters room thingy when elites and brutes fight. its not int he anny edition because they didnt get the rights to use it again

Something with a similar vibe is rumbling by SIM its from the anime attack on titan but it goes hard and theres an English version!!!

Are you planning on playing Halo ODST before jumping into Halo 3? I would definitely recommend that you do. Because ODST happens during Halo 2 and the first parts of Halo 3. But there are no spoilers for Halo 3 so no worries.

You always put out the greatest videos Thanks Meg.🎵🎶🎼🎼🎶🎵

I was a little bit sad when I find this song didnt come back in the remaster... the piece and the scene together was so epic at the time.

I just hit 30 and literally started going through a late-bloom emo meltdown listening to Bilmuri on repeat the last 2 months Also, that's dope that you got to hear this song by BB for the first time only just now. Wish I could go back and do the same thing😭

This was an awesome killer song!!! Breaking Benjamin was my favorite band for YEARS, my absolute PERSONAL FAVORITE from them is "Until the End"!!! 😆👍

I really hope she knows that this song plays in the original halo 2 when you enter the last big battle with the arbitor and the hunters fight the brutes.

If you like Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach and Three Days Grace, then I highly recommend Skillet and Disturbed, you'll love them!

Yeah, the anniversary version of H2 is amazing but this song is what makes me the game, specially Gravemind on original graphics, and I'm not even a BB fan, but this song is just the correct vibe to that Covenant civil war crossfire, even without the very appropriate lyrics (in-game, it is an instrumental version)

This was the first song i heard from them Back in 2008 in some really strange video of Hulk 😂 They have been my favorite band since then Later in 2012 I discovered it was originally from Halo 2 And make this song like 100% better

This was an epic song to be played during the mission Gravemind. 😆

The only real band my back of the woods has. Very proud.

This song is iconic.

It is in the anniversary, just gotta switch to old graphics during the Mausoleum of the Arbiter fight where the brutes and elites are fighting

This song was used for promotional material if I'm not mistaken

This amazing song is the reason why I always switch to the original graphics at the end of the game. Just makes you feel like a total badass ripping through the Covenant 😎

Halo 2 soundtrack also has the band Incubus on it.

one of my fave song from them

I wouldn't consider Breaking Benjamin an emo band, honestly. Three Days Grace perhaps a little.

Also I think Just think It wasn't in the aniversary because there was some legal thinks going on The band kinda split The rest of the banda make another version with Valora without asking Ben So they couldn't use the song But that's what i heard

Incubus was also in the OG 1:57

The song that only halo pros hear

Great fkn song!!!!!

The song made her pog lol

You have to watch the developer commentary of Halo 1 and 2, it's funny and interesting

I want you to get into halos neural physics science but idk how. It’s my favorite science fiction.

Not in anniversary due to copyright/licensing.

You should listen to the Maw from Halo CE and the epilogue from Halo 2

Awesome song

Halo 2 anniversary genesong could be next

Stop ⏹ stop ⏹ stop stop Meg! You like screaming 😂 😂!!

It wasn't in Halo 2 Anniversary because at the time Ben was very sick and had just fired the other members of the band for okaying an absolutely TERRIBLE remix of this song and a greatest hits album while he was still sick. They were in a legal battle over the rights to the name Breaking Benjamin (which Ben won since he IS Breaking Benjamin). They've since returned with an even better lineup and 2 new albums

I can safely say first :)

You should check out the game Metal: Hellsinger, it features a lot of IRL metal singers from bands like Arch Enemy, Lorna Shore, Jinjer, Lamb of God, and System Of A Down. It gives Doom vibes, and there’s lots of screaming

I absolutely love this reaction! ❤
