Overwatch Animated Short | “Honor and Glory” 

구짱 that is so true it is sadd

The truth hurts, doesn’t it?

2:20 bastion and mercy

I know thank you blizzard for this hidden meaning

It is how Reinhardt is sopposed to be played, after all! In fact, once I saw this, I realized what I was doing wrong as his main, and once I changed, I jumped to Platinum from Silver!

true

I read this and I think you are speaking of nothing except the truth And it's worse when their in eichenwald

When he gets back to his team and his shield goes down, thats the line that runs through my head as he literally shields them with his body

It hits hard when in game Reinhardt doesn’t protect his team

But Rinehart main almost always never do that

my teams reindhart always charges alone and dies within 5 seconds

@@DrCrayRayV2 if there's an enemy's reindhart , I'll not stop him

@@namisama4550 there is a tactic where if you break those fences that take you out of bounds and kill you, you use that jet rush thingy and at the last second when your about to fall press the button for the rush they fall to there death (sorry if I say it wierd I don’t have the time to explain or fix my grammar)

@@MasterC179 actually there's a rule that if 2 Reindhart meet each others, nobody should interfere their fight

@@namisama4550 no what I’m trying to say is when you want to knock another tank down knock them out of bounds to die

Yeah…

The art teams of Blizzard deserve better than this hellscape of a company.

The art team is the only part of blizzard you can trust

Bartholomew Thundercat III so true.

Yep!!

Canon Rein started off bad but I'm sure he was great by the time he was deployed to fight Null Sector in London

Not Ana/Mercy mains who are like "uuuh come back, you're out of my sight I can't heal you"

@BabyDollyRandM damnit "always"

Talking about blizzard

Real

That's how veterans act

When you're done living with your parents come back to reality virgin

Im14andthisisdeep

Wow, im 14 and i gotta say this is deep

That's how it is in real life too

a lot of the automatic voice lines between characters are serious ones alluding to their past

Combat gets you high. This ain't a joke either, adrenaline highs from combat are a thing.

RNBMario369 yep

Same

That just made my day ;)

Pretty much

It’s comments like these that make me want to play the new one

Show, don't tell. This scene proves the concept.

not just that but his desire for vengeance. he’s only going back to his team with his shield and armor. he’s putting his pride aside to keep his team alive

Hands down, nothing comes close

What about the kiriko cinematic

@@outbreakperfected5704 it would have been fine if there weren't the cringy voice lines. sure there may have been a few in this one but literally every line in the kiriko one made me cringe

@@ryan_w08really? Genuinely can’t think of anything cringe that Kiriko says. I mean I disagree with both I prefer the Solider one in Dorado but the only part of Kiriko’s I didn’t like was how cheesy the ending was with the old man and girl trying to fight too

@@emma6648 lmao no way u brought sexism into this

suqmahdeeeock yeah I like how they kind of captivate play Styles in the animated shorts. This is Ryan Hart before he pissed off enough Mercies to figure out when not to charge!

suqmahdeeeock true tho

suqmahdeeeock Hey, im a good Offensive Reinhardt 😂

suqmahdeeeock trueeee

lol, this makes sense, lets be honest... Bastion animated short was made in hopes that we can feel good about him and not hate him :v

The I have been called, I must answer gets me every time, even more so now that the overwatch 2 cinematic is out and he does indeed answer

annoyingly so..... yes

still gives me chills

Makes me even more teared up since Blizzard Activision took over... I'm still sad about War3 Reforged...

even if i haven't played overwatch in like 3 years i still love this cinematic

I never noticed that before that’s so amazing

what i still cant hear it

​@@dtack9249 I'm pretty sure he didn't actually

@@agentblakk7096he did it’s kind of like a pause between hammer and down

bro he just grunted lmao

Now I understand Flash. You play the fool to mask a warriors pain. I dont know about all that Orion. The bad guys lost, and nobody got hurt. You know what we call that where I'm from: a pretty good day. Always remember Flash Day.

Isn't that ironic I feel like this animation was to serve as a teaching to all Reinhart

Yeah, it’s sad to know that most of the events in this short was caused by Reinhardt leaving his team.

"Most" ? You must be below bronze to see that in games...

@@artygator8167 quickplay

this proves that more Bastions and Orisas die with hammer than team killing them while shielded :P

Not someone else life, hes gonna live the oath he swored to do wich is "live with honor die in glory " just like his comander and the life of a crusader

"live with honor, Die with glory" such a simple line. Reinhart mad an oath. He glory hogged and while he protected the LAND of Germany. He let it's heart bleed claiming they only slowed him down. To learn the lesson he had to commit the worst dishonor. To lose a battle they could have survived, cost a mentor his life, eat massive casualties, and lose out on true glory for a vain understanding of glory. He regained his honor when he held the line, when he made sure not another wound was struck on the heart, and lent his weapon to a dying comrade to defend the land. After that he served in that mans place to protect the worlds heart and soul. He wasn't "pushed out" his call was simply ended, and while it may hurt, he had other duties. Yet now, with the heart and mind ailing, with new enemies and new threats, he has been called....and he must answer always. Live with honor, die with glory. Such power in such a simple line, Overwatch used to have such amazing writing.

Also it’s not hard to imagine that he knows that he has to in hopes of protecting others and serving a cause to help protect the world

@@Smol_Eri it’s never that serious bro

@@sieko2904 It's that serious if someone sees it that serious.

Null 5 I wonder if that was intentional because you make a great point

Null 5 That's so true we must learn humility like Reinhardt if we want to see the bigger picture

Not every. There's two kinds of new Reinhardt players - overly agressive and overly defensive.

I want to frame this comment forever.

as a rein main i can agree... this represents me in everyway

When real men cry

yup

Same

I dont even play overwatch, i just love the lore, and i cried watching this they did a great job

Agreed these get me every time.. 😥

It's really sad because they do such a good job then the actual game developers do nothing.

The prices we pay for knowledge and wisdom.

He reminds me a lot of the Heavy from TF2 actually. In lore he's very chill and sedated. It's only until he goes into battle is he the hollering, energetic warrior who lives for the fight that we know!

@@krazyjay9919 yee

he paid with both an eye and a friend for his mistake

The eye meant almost nothing to him. He was still pretty cavalier even after that got taken out. But losing his mentor, hit really hard and gave him a debt that he now feels he can't repay.

Me too

they lost tho...

Harry yolo I am physically unable to play tanks so I always have to hope I can insta lock support before my teammates

dratini They won this battle, it's even in lore of the map that ''Battle of Eichenwalde was turning point during invasion of Germany as Crusaders held against Omnics.''

For what I remember, I think they got wiped out.

we need to call jeff for that

Ili_Clips_II :p yes yes we do

Ili_Clips_II :p I need that voice line more than I need air😂. I now Main Reinhardt 500% more

thats what everyone else wants, i want this line for every other hero "Dammit reinhardt!" You know... for all the times my team's reinhardt flies into the enemy leaving us without a shield... just saying

i think that's already in the game, or at least it's similar

Also Balderich's shield was destroyed in saving Reinhardt. There was no other way, he was dying, shieldless, and there was no time.

And that is why I always appreciate people who play games not just for the fun and excitement it gives, but rather also for the symbolic meaning and message it conveys behind

It really was perfect

By giving over his weapon, Reinhardt signed over to the old warrior code - protect those who cannot protect themselves. It was an honourable (albeit dangerous) move to stand in harms way to save others knowing that you yourself cannot fight back.

@@ehanboshoff4825 I mean, I'm guessing getting punched by his fist would hurt quite a bit, so he wasn't completely defenseless.

The people who work on the shorts, absolutely The executive in charge of the game, not so much

The funny thing is people complained that Blizzard was peer pressuring them to play the way they wanted them to and said they stopped playing because of it. Good riddance, no one will miss them. Just like no one misses the people who apparently stopped playing because Terry Crews isn't voicing Doomfist

totally agree with you but look one second kill he got there during his charge...

The Wielder I'm pretty sure Terry Crews was just a meme, but I still wish he was in the game tbh.

I just relized that it didnt help i play rien like a tracer always assasinat the merct their rien cant do anything about it

To be honest, a good reinhardt plays agressively a decent chunk of the time. A good reinhardt just knows how to balance playing agressive with protecting the team. Just standing there with your shield in the choke isn't doing anything, advancing the fight towards/with the objective is your goal as a tank, and sometimes going in agressive with a FUCKITCHARGE is just the way to reach that goal.

Can Gürel Rein for President

Man of the centuries*

Every few months I think about that line and come back here

Doğru

Can Gürel the last part where Reinhardt was so sad when Reinhardt shield broke and had to defend the soldiers with his own back

Imagine how awesome it would be to dual wield hammers with rein in PVE…

Nunca había pensado en eso!

Great observation

nahh you watched the same video as everyone else?????

Well also reminds me when he said that they shall fight their way together. In a way, he is fighting with Balderich through his weapon while he acts as the shield for the team.

symbolism not symbology

Amen to that

The same goes for WoW shorts tbh. Blizzard knows what's up.

@@keleeshi which wow short can evoke as much emotion as this?

@@Built2kill Old Soldier

Jedi_Master_Keleeshi the shorts are pretty cool no lie but then the movie was like bruh

I have watched this cinematic like 10 times, and still cry T_T

Same here

Sad

Same bro goosebumps

Martok.Wav

Same man, watching this again made me almost cry again. REIN MAIN 4 EVER !!!!

LMAO all bastions

@@cameronh2457 Nah they had Orisas for shields as well

You think reinhardt will have the play of the game? Nope, it's one of those bastions, obviously!

PLAY OF THE GAME BASTION *Clip of him holding the mouse button*

Or should you say... *PROST!*

It's not so subtle. It's a rocket hammer to the head. And the feels.

The Great Sauron he has a point

I ALWAYS stay with the team....except for when my shield gives out or i get hack, in which case, i rocket dash and swing away killing 4 enemy players and get back to the team just in time to defend them once more

000xyz when I play him I usually stay with the team except for this one time I was playing him I went up onto a rooftop said hello then smacked a widow in the face as she’s turned around to see what it was that said hello then tea bagged her

I only rush if my teams not shooting

But what if ur in the middle of a game??

Me: *Receives invite to play Overwatch* "I have been called. I must answer. Always."

than pick bastion?

Playing reinhardt I'm comp is like have a duck for a shield against bastion

Well it didn’t last much longer here, he just used his body as a shield when it failed.

@@Stormkrow280 And it was in slow motion, I think his shield just lasted 1 second

5:50 is more accurate if you remove slow mo, The one you saw was Balderich who was probably stronger than reinhardt

Well if you look at the cinematics, no one is as strong as they actually are in the game. They have to balance it. Like in the short, he one shots a bastion. In D.Va’s short, she shreds some robots in seconds, while in the game her bullets are like nerf darts. It’s for balancing in game

Osama Al Haid and then Ana just sleeps him 😂

Ewan Keddie And then he wakes up because people were firing at him. Then the Ana is toxic and asks why they woke up the character that literally everyone was already attacking.

@@icouldntthinkok6912 *and then tracer wakes him up from like a kilometer

until he gets slept, stunned, bobbed, naded, and booped off the map all at the same time.

I feel more responsible as a tank since watching it too

Lmao, after i saw this, no matter what role i was always protecting team mates, i’ll run across the whole map if it means i can save my hog from the baby dva

true

Main*

That's literally all I do as Reinhardt. Then everyone goes Bastion and mows my shield down.

Avana It was originally a movie, then they just turned it into a game

Actually, it started out as a first-person shooter called "Titan," but they cancelled it in 2014. Then the team that worked on it took some of their ideas and worked it into Overwatch.

exept its just a game

a tf2 rippoff infact

A game with a story? Revolutionary!

Tell that to the idiot on our team that's charging into the enemy group

gunther mizuki he needs his teacher to die for him

As a rein main, charging is acceptable if your team is already scattered and a key enemy char is right in your sights, i.e. healer or bastion (or any enemy that is about to ult)

lol, whenever I play there's always a rein on the enemy team who just charges straight into every one and dies.

Caden Pope 😭😭😢😢ikrrrr

Caden Pope he wasn’t just his boss, he was his brother.

Maybe not his boss but his mentor/friend

"The team needs you... be their shield" is the full request. He says this while trying to hand Reinhardt the Overwatch Emblem. When Reinhardt notices it in his hands, he understands what Baldrich is truly asking him.

Caden Pope ikr

Kids, pack your bags, we're going on FEEL TRIP!!!!

Sooooooo

Goddamn you Jeff lol

Correction: his full name is "Jeff from the Overwatch Team"

very original👏👏

Roadhog: Reject the oath, return to flanker.

@@greenmcbean6429 Ball: The enemies can't kill my team if they're already all dead :)

@@No-ll3mh And don't forget, that Reinhardt also socks Roadhog for saying otherwise.

Amen!

There's a reason I always que as a tank...

Same. It’s hard not to cry.

Then proceeds to go in 1v6 and die immediately while flaming his team.

tryhardt*

xMjnonx ReinHard*

I feel like that line was Blizzard’s way of sticking the middle finger at every Reinhardt tryhard

to be honest, i never found any tank main that flame, moslty it was support and dps who abuses chat the most, tank main usually are the chillest person i've ever met, because the only thing they demand its just heal, and the rest of it is protecting their teammate

I legit laughed hard after reading your comment.

Kobe Villarreal well I was crying

50 years later and he's learned nothing.

funny but not really accurate. since s4 and the popularity of the dive comp rein mains were so frustrated with dps mains running past them they were forced to main dva or Winston instead. rip deathballs

It's like the realm game! Where ya shield melts in seconds

@@kurtisdeakin that's the point of my comment lol.

525 damage/s on sentry mode

Jimmy Nguyen jee

I wish the shield in the game could last that long like in the cinematic here lol

lol

The shield damage was accurate the hits after that wasnt

Don't forget a snowblower.

To be fair he is pretty old, and his ears can bleed from Lucio blasting it...

Doctor Jay But he’s not exactly brittle, and his armor covers him completely. I don’t think arrows, darts, and music can get threw that armor of his. Plus who in history of our species has died from ear bleeds?

Anthony Clegg but I couldn’t tell was that his father?

BigMann Dave777 yes but he seemed like a father to him

It's an army relationship a superior officer who cares for and is responsible for his subordinates. Reinhardt's last name is Wilhelm while Balderich's last name was Adler. Rein was a lieutenant while Balderich was the general.

XxWargrinderxX ok thanks

I love it too

or i mean he just grew out his hair

That cool and massively depressing

+elijahproto But that wouldn't be that epic :I

yes. :D it sound's like ME!

That was definitely me before I saw this short last year.

*W H E R E I S R E I N H A R D T ? !*

*distant shout* "I NEED HEALING

Sounds like a lv 1500 bronze player

most of if not all of the characters in this game are not written well lets not get too crazy

Well, i dont compare Rein story to another game characters though, i compare him to the rest of OW characters, while most of them is not that interesting, given their shorts lore is not published yet, i find for a mulitplayer game, OW characaters is written well enough to be both game fitted and generally character fit for a story.

Svhons don't mind him they are written pretty well for a multiplayer fps

how are they not well written? they fit into the lore perfectly. sure they fit the common superhero trope; tragedy, loss, a new found source of power...but I feel as if Blizzard has done an amazing job of creating these characters and keeping them uniform with the lore of overwatch. I also challenge you to create a universe consisting of 26 main characters, complete with ages of history, comics, an accessible line of support and community feedback and still deliver high quality content like this. In 2 years. I really hope you can elaborate on why you think they are written poorly, and I'd love to see a comparison of a well written character by your standards in a multiplayer fps. won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't. cmon bby

Rein sees a bigger picture. Its awesome.

Or typical bronze/silver Reinhardt.

I need healing!

Noop Noop lol

Elementa96 No

They are. literally Overwatch was supposed to be a movie, but they didn't have the money for it so they made a game to fund it.

They did with WoW. And it wasn't *that* good tbh. Just appreciate it as it is - Gives them more freedom aswell :)

*saga

After watching it for the first time in a while, I cried too

so true

woah

sorry man halloween passed

I read that in his voice.

star kitty But history remains

Emrad16 eh

But it kind of backfires, because his "team" is worthless and he carried.

THEY ARE JUST GOING TO SLOW ME DOWN

Carisma1005 lmaoo

TinyToasterMan DAMNIT REINHARDT

Your rein heart pun intented

It's weird that Rein's backstory reminds me of Thor from the Marvel universe

When he says "I will be your shield" in game.... It never hurt before I saw this.

@@soscobra yeah prideful warrior humbled by their experiences

That's also the moment he trully understood the oath to "Live with Honor, and Die with Glory"

I want a "DAMMIT REINHARDT" voice line for when he leeroy jenkinses into the enemy. I also want a "Be their Shield" voice line. Ok frankly I want every line of the script as voiceline

The Hardstyle Musicz yes pls

D e v i a l when he said damnit reinhardt someone random on the team has to say it when he dies by an orisa or bastion

I kind of want it to be like Reinhardt: "Live with honor my friends" (someone else responds): "Die with glory?" Reinhardt: "With me as your shield there will be no glory today"

The Omnipresent Nerd You meant ot say "[...]there will be no death today", right?
