Headphones recommended.
This tribute is dedicated to the Halo saga and in particular the story of Master Chief Spartan john 117. This video is intended as both a celebration and summary of the overarching Halo storey leading into Halo infinite. From the Spartan-II program to the discovery of the halo array, to the rise of the Created, at the heart of the Halo story is the Master Chief. John, a human being raised to ack like a machine to defend humanity from extinction, complemented by a Cortana, a machine who would want nothing more than to be Human.
I hope this video can entertain my fellow Halo fans and build even more anticipation for Halo infinite. I have worked solidly on this video for the better part of five months and hope that the work shows in the final result.
I’d like to thank all the people how have watched my videos and for the recent influx of attention on my channel. Thank you for 400 subscribers and all the encouraging comments I’ve received, your kind words have meant the world to me.
To those watching, I sincerely hope you enjoy it, and I thank you for taking to time to watch my work. Constructive criticism is very welcome as is any effort to share any of my creations with other people or platforms.

When you look past the Bungie games (not talking bad about them I love them) John is a pretty complex character. He’s a child soldier who has lost almost everyone close to him but continues to fight for his species survival.

@rohanthomas4134 3 года назад

In the bungie games John existed primarily as a vessel for the player to inhabit with very light characterisation. In the 343 games John is more like how he appeared in expanded media, a strongly defined character in his own right.

The Primary Protagonist to the Story and the Character that the player themselves inhabits. Master Chief is a Spartan-II Super Soldier and one of Humanities greatest Heroes. He is a 7 foot tall. Weight 500 Kilogram(in his Mjolnir Power Assault Armor). Armored Warrior of the United Nations Space Command. Trained from 6 Years old in the art of war. Surgically Altered. Biological Augmented and Cybernetically Enhanced at the age of 14 years old and given the most powerful armor and advanced combat armor technology humanity has ever seen. The MJOLNIR Power Assault Power Armor. He is stoic. powerful. efficent Killer. and a Soldier head and shoulders better than the best humanity has to offer. The Master Chief doesn't wanna show his face. Because he was initially conceived as an empty shell. or a Husk. that the Player occupies. The Argument being. that Master Chief is the Player(You are the Player) However. over time. While this same idea is still prominent. It's now simply become part of his Personality. He is a stoic. private. and Mysterious Hero.

So true. I am oldie in life but a newbie to Halo. Never played a video game in my life. But was in a dark place a few months ago and chanced upon a Halo video music clip. Like wow. That opened up a whole new world to this sci fi lover. Listening to the halo music vids, reading all the books, buying the music, well the Chief and Halo lifted me out of that dark place. Maybe one day I might get to play at being Chief in a video game. I think every one experiences or can see something, even a little bit, of their everyday struggles in what the Chief has gone through. They all hope, wish or even believe maybe that maybe just maybe they can be as strong as the Chief.

Needless to say, this video moved me to tears. Hell, you even managed to make my issues with Halo 5 seem nonexistent in how you treated its footage, audio and the context around it. This is the perfect tribute to not just John, but everything around his life that's made him who he is both in-universe and within our lives. You did some truly outstanding work. And make me feel emboldened that I'm on the right track for the emotions I'm tapping into for my upcoming Halo 4 video. Thank you for such a beautifully constructed tribute. ❤️

@rohanthomas4134 3 года назад

I can’t tell you how happy comments like yours make me. Wile I’ve also had issues with halo 5’s narrative I’ve always thought that underneath it’s numerous mistakes were a set of ideas and character beets that could have had great potential. There’s only so much an editor can do, but I did my best to highlight the best aspects of every game as it relates to John, including halo 5. And if your halo 4 essay is anything like your halo 2 essay then it’s gonna be a banger!

@BrashSoulstorm 2 года назад

15:10 "Your plan... is we do as you say" "Im offering people a chance to be more than they are, naturally" "Like Dr. Halsey did for me?" That whole convo between John and Cortana is fucking amazing. Say what you will about Halo 5, I know a lot of people didnt like it but honestly, it was lines like those that hit hard for me. The original trilogy will always have a place in my heart but Ive enjoyed the more emotionally invested storyline of 343. The deep dive into Chief and Cortanas relationship, how Chief still needs Cortana and is trying to bring her back and Cortana truly does think she is doing this for good reasons and wants John to agree with her is the best part of the Reclaimer Trilogy by far.

@rohanthomas4134 2 года назад

I as well have many issues with Halo 5. one of those issues is how they changed Cortana's characterisation without adequate explanation. However, for the character she has become, the interaction she has with John is pretty fantastic. I really hope Infinite will give us more of that exploration as well as a proper explanation as to why she became that way.

@MrSHADOWKING911 2 года назад

@@rohanthomas4134 honestly ur video kinda helped me understand Cortana’s change, to me it feels realistic, she’s one of the smartest alive and she’s only an AI , John was her only partner. From that point on she was there , she saw everything and everything thing he didn’t see . All the losses all the battles all the threats. She seen John breaking , go through things , second guess himself and his objectives . I think she wanted to help her lover and the same way John was pushed over the edge so was she, and she was basically dying .

The first 3 minutes were so intense!! Probably some of the best editing I’ve seen in all my years

@ethansheesha7709 2 года назад

The games don't really do that great of a job showing the person behind the armor. This video does and includes everything in between. Iv read some of the books and watched comics and stories of chief and iv never gotten the characterization that this video holds. In every way the audio you put in over the games was so damn good. The transition from the kid version of chief to him getting his first suit of armor and them cutting to him fighting the flood with that same suit of armor makes that situation seem so much more humanized instead of a war machine tearing through endless hoards of flood with ease with seemingly no emotion. It makes me wonder what he's feeling under the armor instead of seeing a stoic badass that can tear through anything. There's a human under there and this video did a great job of visualizing that. After playing the halo infinite story and watching this, I can see through the armor and finally see his emotion it seems like. Obviously you could at some points see how he's feeling without even seeing his face but there's more emotion there than the older games tend to show.

@rohanthomas4134 2 года назад

@Rinoaebastel 2 года назад

Okay, now it settled, I can comment properly. This blowed up my brain. It is amaizing done and you can feel the care you put in each second of it. Every dialogue intentionally telling us a part of his story as much as his feels and what he has to deal with. He goes on, his motives changing, his humanity showing and you reflect it perfectly. I'm in love you used everything on hand, legends, forward until down, fall of reach, the cut dialogue of halo 4. All of it gave me the chills and the ending destroyed me as much as gave me a small hope. He suffered a lot but always did what he had to. Everyone knows it despite you can see he becomes tired. I might be wrong about that last part and also to this; There is a change on this video, like it has two parts. His past, his duty, but now at some point when he loses Cortana it feels he is "moving" to still kept that promise he did to her. Than you for this amaizing piece. Question: What is the scene of 8:06 and 8:21? I never saw that one of MC holding Cortana's hologram while she tries to reach and touch his helmet.

@rohanthomas4134 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means than I can adequately express that the work and passion I put into this project is appreciated. I certainly did try to use all the content to tell John's story that I could, from the games to the books to even some Non-canon/non-official sources. The clip of Cortana and chief that you asked about is from an Octane Render Test made by a 343 Industries employee. It's technically official but definitely not canon.

this only just now came into my recommended and it was amazing and i only have great things to say but all i can and will say is this, i was 6 when i first played halo ce and i played halo 2 which had only come out a year before (2005) and ive been playing games ever since and it was only when i was in high school i started reading the books. the more i had read the more interested i got not just in the games but into the entirety of the franchise so this made think of chiefs back story and i'll be completely honest i cried a little bit cause chief at least to me idk about anyone else but he never mourned those he lost, and he only goes into deep thought when he thinks of them, so some people forget he is human he has fears and he bleeds like the rest of us, he is definitely one of my favorite characters of all time simply because although he may not show his emotions he focuses on keep everyone together and moving forward. all i can say now is great video and im definitely giving you a subscription my guy.

You are certainly right about John not preceding all of what he's been through, His childhood experiences alone would be enough to traumatise the average person for life. Part of his training was emotional repression so he could both wether the unthinkable stress and pressure he has been under for decades and so he can act the rock for his team to depend on.

I keep coming back to watch this video. It's one of the saddest by by far one of the most uplifting, humane, thought provoking things of Halo. The Master Chief is human. Do not underestimate that.

@chiefsenpai969 3 года назад

Your videos are just so amazing. Being able to condense all that story in around 18 minutes. This video reminded me of how much Chief and the other Spartans had to do just to keep Humanity away from extinction. Even after the horror of training and augmentations, they still had to keep on push themselves to the edge and keep making sacrifices cause, just as Kelly said, "We were children". For the Halo universe is filled with threats that can wipe out an entire civilization in the blink of an eye. I hope Chief's story comes to a conclusion in Infinite. I love him just as much as all of you do but... the man deserves a rest. He's saved a lot and lost a lot. And once again, thanks for making these amazing videos. Keep being amazing. Keep being awesome

@rohanthomas4134 3 года назад

Thank you! Your kind words mean so much. The Spartans have certainly been though hell to defend humanity, it’s almost a mercy that they were conditioned to be so machine like as any ordinary person would break under half of what the Spartans have dealt with. As for the chief I totally agree that his story needs to and probably will come to a definitive conclusion in infinite. Though infinite is intended to be a 10 year plan with mutable campaigns so we are probably some time way from that ending.

I would never believe i would say that to someone ...but i am so sad that i missed the good old days of halo...being just a kid ,having no major responsibilities...just playing and enjoying halo 1 and 2. And i am even more sad that nobody of my friends wanted to play halo with me. Seeing this video , my childhood memories evoked and i cried so much , that i tried to supress the sorrow. I am not even kidding , this is the best edit-mashup of our journey to the halo universe being 117. Thus Thomas u made my night , and i shall sleep peacefully now ,thinking about all these special moments that basically changed my life ,especially my childhood. Thank you for that brother.

@ppimpsterking374 2 года назад

This is genuinely one of the best edits and tributes i've seen in year's, and really makes you realise everything the master chief went through throughout his whole life, everything from the abduction from his home planet, to being woken in the middle of a massive war to being dragged under by the gravemind and having to go up to the forerunner ship that then lead him to back to earth and then, working with his so called enemy and then helping the arbiter take down the prophets and then making from cryo at the start of halo 4 and slowing starting to lose cortana, and eventually her turning against him in 5. Such a well made tribute to a soldier that gave so many of us, our childhood's/teenage years and will hopefully keep giving some more. Thank you for making such a well made and well edited tribute.

(Excellent work holy moly). I've linked it around when people ask for a recap on the story, as you really did so well with pulling apart, and then essentializing ?x number of voice clips to, with the visuals and tone of the music, managed to make something that I can't say even 343's current, post 4-5, recalculated understanding of Chief, and Cortana, with INFINITE capitalizes as well on the pillar (heh) themes within the firefights. In the end, I hope someone at 343 sees this fantastic fan film piece of work, that actually tells the immortally powerful story of a cybernetic space Cop Child-Man and his love/loss for his BFF/everything Holographic AI head-buddy. John Wick's motivation for a series began with a dog, halo's began with a ring, a power suit, and a blue lady in your head, and into the frey. Good sh* m8.
