Let's Play Halo 5: LASO - F*CK! 

Only those who know hate that much can understand how it's fleeting nature

I was thinking that. "the irony"

Which makes his meltdown at Joe that much funnier at 1:08:52

He’s grown :)

Now Michael is a true Jedi Master.

that moment was actually what got me into watching all the LASO stuff... feels like forever ago

Easily one of the best moments of the series. Up there with someone getting taken over the cliff at the end of 3

Best moment

Remind me which one that was from so I can watch it again RIGHT NOW

@@DCComicsGamer it's in the first part of the Halo 3 LASO I believe

heaven forbid they pay an editor to do it

@@geoffvador but that's not as fun

@@geoffvador editor did it on the very first Laso in Halo 3. They just preffered to do it themselves so they can banter about it. For 5 though it would be a nightmare...

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the orchestra restarting their music every time they die

See you in a year

Lot of history there

it's basically the only good series on this channel now. Looking at the viewcount for the last couple of weeks, I'm worried that this channel is going down soon..

@@philipprudolf8302 i mean I think thats gaming videos in general. people watch commentary videos not gameplay videos anymore I think the genre is way down across the board. streaming is pretty much where gameplay is now

What does LASO mean, been absent from the channel for a while

i was wanting that as well when i first started watching them do LASO but having played through all MCC LASO....no you really dont want to see them do CE and 2, they are brutal took my friend and i 5 and a half hours for Cairo Station, 6 hours for Truth and Rec (over 2 attempts) Two Betrayals took a while too, Gravemind and Regret were up there in time too, took 90 minutes just to get the old way of doing prison skip, 3ish hours setting up and fighting regret this is all following guides btw and us having been playing Halo since 2001 when it released

@@red5robb1 sounds fun to watch to me Bring it in

@@red5robb1 ce could work but 2 is just not viable for recording time + editing imo and i dont see them doing ce without 2 because itd just create more people begging for 2

@@jugger_p00 I take Cursed Halo as the AH playthrough of CE

i honestly dont know if anyone in AH is capable of beating halo 2 LASO. that one is absolutely insane

I love it. We all like seeing one or all the bois suffer, and it makes the video longer. I know it's starting to get real annoying when Michael starts losing his shit. When Michael just yelled "THIS SUCKS!!!", it just made my day.

Some people make playing with a controller sound like a nightmare. :)

how good is matt at halo?

@@Sonicfalcon16 Terrible lol

Wait what why?

Can we just enjoy what we got here, right now?

@@mjpraetorian4386 he opted to stay in MA after the pandemic as his family is there and he’s very close to them. This has meant that he’s only in content when he flies in for it, or when mostly everyone is playing remotely

@@ThePoisonera Cheers

It is a shame. Though yeah, at least it's still Golden Boys Gavin and Michael. They're kind of irreplaceable.

Expect infinite laso to have each gavin or micheal not there

Jack probably isn't doing it because he's too old for fps games anymore. As someone who has recently had to accept that those are a young man's game i sympathize with the man. Jeremy on the other hand I really need him back lol

@@luigiongaming3959 you can still play them there's those senior gamers playing fps games still just gotta adapt with the changes

I've noticed that in some of the videos I've seen of the mod, great reference haha. Yeah, AH LASO is always welcome.

Link?😁

@@Spectrum-Video the man left AH for a reason. Why would he care about what AH fans want. Let him move on Joe isn't the best but he actually shows up and has my respect for that Been a fan for over a decade, but why should that matter in the present

@@RadicalEdward_115 Wait, Dooley left RT? When? I know Burns left, but was not aware Dooley had.

@@margotpreston ​ A WHILE ago, sometime in spring of last year he posted on socials about staying w/Kat in the northeast for good and that he was going to be in AH content less but he'd still be in it (less as time goes on, now he's more of a "special guest" person than an AH member)

@@margotpreston when he moved start of the pandemic. And started streaming full time? You must live under a rock

I loved that it was being called a good checkpoint every time, then we cut to Joe being executed.

Hopefully they see this comment and have a bit more fun bullying the AIs instead of getting bullied

Hopefully by part four they'll know this

But... It was so funny that it was broken after Keys shoots himself...

@@marcusalm7350 dont worry. they kept the funny in after the fix.

This isn’t meant to be offensive to him, but Joe is the definitely the rush kinda FPS player. Works against bad players or easy AI but not LASO lol

@@ImOuijaa Probably. He's great at Overwatch but that's a very rush heavy FPS.

Thank you! Some people were complaining how bad Joe was and I kept thinking, do you lot not remember gavin in every other laso ? Love them all but man it was rough some episodes.

That's like asking "is AH really AH without [insert person who isn't around anymore]?" The answer will always be "yes." Their content has never been static, roster-wise. That includes LASO.

I thought Gavin was the crazy knowledge Halo guy.

Same. Rewatched 3, reach and 4, then this popped up

Given that Joe was an Apex pro before joining AH, I'm guessing he just heard "FPS with revive mechanics" and thought "I know how to play these", completely forgetting he's not playing against other humans with even odds, but rather against an AI with tonnes of advantages. This was a rather poor performance from him, but I'l quite sure he'll be more of an asset in future parts once he learns the right LASO mindset.

Halo 5 wasn't as bad as other Halos on solo Legendary. Having AI teammates that couldn't fully die helped. You could literally just order the other three teammates to move ahead or be a distraction, even focus on a particular enemy while you hung back or flanked with a precision weapon and picked enemies off. The only big struggle I had with Halo 5 in Legendary was the final Warden fight where you have to fight 3 at the same time while laser turrets spawn in around the area. Eventually, I had to use the "skip" method to bypass the fight in order to get past it solo.

@@bloodwolfgaming9269 the warden fight solo sounds not fun on laso it’s a simple fight mechanically but oh does he hurt, would love to see what that boss would look like in infinite, might not be as much of a pain in the a** tripple warden is just a why would you do dis 343, my experince solo, even on normal the ai teammates can be stupid and just stand over you not picking you up if you’re downed happens way too ofted from dumb deaths

@@NEWGHOST9 I couldn't imagine it with LASO. It's been a while since I played through the campaign fully and I am not sure if it was in the game regardless or part of the legendary difficulty. But I remember on Legendary, the final Warden fight where you take on 3 Wardens had the Promethean laser turrets spawning around the arena with each Warden you took out making it so you basically couldn't hide in cover from the Warden because the turrets basically hit every "in cover" area. I don't remember if the turrets were on Normal or not. Just solo Legendary was bad enough for me that after like half an hour, I used an exploit that basically allows you to skip the entire fight. Once you beat the Warden, a set of stairs rise up to let you get to a higher platform to finish the level. But with some quick timing and using the Ground Pound ability, you could use some gravity lifts around the edges of the arena to get on top of some pillars and then get a sprint jump towards the ending platform. You have to be quick because the top of the pillars has a countdown timer before being 'out of bounds'. If you time a Ground Pound just right, you can hit the edge of the platform and clamber up. Then you just run forward and the game treats it like you beat the Warden and lets you finish the level. Not sure if they ended up patching it out or not but ultimately, I had to shamefully use that method to get past the final Warden fight on solo Legendary.

Honestly I think it's a hot mess in a good way. If this is what the game is like on the FIRST LEVEL. I can't imagine what the fuck will be happening later on. I've never played Halo 5 so this will be interesting.

@@jjpark98 I can't wait to see them run into Hunters lmao. Hunters are designed like hot ass as an enemy type in Halo 5 and are absurdly unfun to fight even under normal circumstances. Naturally that means it'll be hilarious to watch.

H5 campaign was god awful, terrible in every way of writing, story, flow narrative. Also requiring team squad for strategy boss fights was a stupid decision

or walking in front of Fredo's shots

If anything else, it just made more hilarious content. I'm pretty sure at some point Joe was doing it on purpose because he knew it pissed off Michael.

Same

yeah it feels like downs just complicated shit

I can understand that it makes it too easy, but for RU-vid I feel like it makes it easier and more fun to watch.

@@haondoor Fun to watch? Watching people go down CONSTANTLY isn't fun. Being the one to revive them, isn't fun.

@@OddOtter707 trying to find people and failing have been quite funny. But also I think how halo 5 is done it would be an even slower crawl to finish giving how easy it is to down them. Like I like watching them fail but it is so satisfying to see them actually push forward.

Too bad they're not keeping track of deaths.

@@martincasperson2248 Someone is trust me. I know in other LASO's stats have came up for accuracy, k/d ratios, how many times someone shot each other and much more.

I'm pretty sure it's been their plan to do LASO on every single halo game from the very beginning.

I fucking loved that 😂

@@Stonewalljax12 Alfredo in this is suffering the most and slipping the most because he's on controller.

@@Lord-Wheatabix oh uh hundred percent, plus dealing with rusher joe. Hopefully he learned in the second part usually the first is the roughest

Yup, and that sounds about right... This is Achievement Hunter after all... 🤦😂 They'll jump straight into the hardest mode possible after not playing for over 5 years without reminding themselves of the different movement mechanics, the enemy types and behaviours, the weapons and grenade types, etc. Instead they'll just scream that it sucks...

@@button4boy I mean 5 DOES suck, it tanked the franchise and they had to can writers and such and overhaul the series after 5. But AH has always jumped back into games blindly after not playing them for years that's what most people do

How does a 4 inch dash and a hovering ground pound qualify as "so many extra movement mechanics"?? And if you think those 2 small things help much on legendary, then you have obviously never tried it my guy lol

@@iwatchtoomuchyt9281 I have played it bud that's the whole point...yeah sure it's only two mechanics but it opens new options that make the game much easier than they're making it. It's like playing Siege without leaning, sure it's not necessary but it makes it easier

Any engagement brought out extreme strafing that got themselves killed

High expectations that they even remember the character names in the chaos most of the time, much less remember who they are.

Head pops aren't hard on controller lol I feel like their aim just isn't the best. Alfredo in particular suffers hard when he can't use a mouse because he's so used to it lol

You think precision is hard on a controller? I got like a 12-kill streak in multiplayer with the gauss cannon because of it. It's not hard to hit a target. You just have to learn the differences between the two types of controls. With controllers it's like moving around a whip, you may not be able to target someone as fast as they can target you, but you tend not to miss when you get over top of them as a result, meaning you get used to things like enemies running past you and shooting them perfectly in the head. Head pops are pretty easy on controller.

This is apparently 'fun'.

As someone who's never played Halo 5, what? Like 'Locke has better sprint-to-ready time' and stuff?

@@deleteman900 Pretty much. Kelly and Vale for example if I remember right are slightly faster than the other characters. Others have increased shields, or melee.damage, etc....

Stop. I didn't need PTSD today.

*RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING*

It's only 3 for the final Warden fight. But what makes it worse is I think as part of the legendary difficulty, laser turrets start spawning in around the arena with each Warden you take down if I recall correctly.

I desperately miss the Boston man.
