Her expressing sadness for the marines dying during the crash landing on the Halo ring was so sweet. Like I've never heard anyone acknowledge the fact that Chief was the sole survivor from the life ship he was on.
It's not as important for this game, but I'm sure a lot of us fans would definitely recommend playing the Anniversary graphics for Halo 2, since Halo 2 received all new cutscenes that are just amazing. Of course, you can still switch back and forth between the graphics with the push of a button, so you can check out how the original game looked at any time!
Don't underestimate that pistol! I'm much more of a "point and click" player, so the pistol works a lot better for that. And also, all your questions will be answered!
Yeah combat evolved’s anniversary graphics kinda mess up the lighting or have foliage in places that don’t line up or just the wrong atmosphere but halo 2’s is truly an upgrade of the original. My only problems with the anniversary version are the sfx for the energy sword sound goofy and the music’s too loud but the graphics themselves are fantastic in my opinion.
20:30 those small guys are called Grunts. They are easy to eliminate. And a single headshot gets rid of them instantly. 😊. And don’t call them creepy. They are cute. ❤️
Your curiosity to explore the structures on Halo is very much in the spirit of what made Halo so captivating to many of us when we first played it so long ago. I hope you continue to enjoy the game!
@@xJuliettex That’s fair, the older graphics are well… older. But I absolutely prefer them, especially when any of the levels at night or in dark environments are totally ruined with the new graphics. Plus it’s just a great sense of nostalgia
I’m also glad that without any knowledge of the fandom, you immediately gravitated to the legendary M6D pistol and recognised its great power. It is one of the most iconic weapons in the franchise, and would even return in Halo 5 multiplayer as a nostalgia power weapon.
That pistol is probably the most consistent and powerful gun in any video game. It has a scope and also shoots .50 caliber rounds I believe which are like...super punch through rounds.
@@generaldoomer2455 caliber is the diameter of the bullet(.500 inches) and has nothing to do with power/bullet weight...even the most powerful .50 cal handgun round is about 1/8th the power of the lowest power 50 bmg round
This was my first game ever played in my life. It's such an underrated storyline. Im mid 20's i sat on my dads lap playing this when i was like 4 or 5.
Just found your channel and I already love how much you immerse yourself in the game. You put in an honest effort. Very refreshing compared to others who are half paying attention, eating food, or reading twitch chat. Lol. Excited to join you on this journey. The original Halo trilogy was a huge part of my childhood :)
I don't want to ruin the joke because it is funny, but according to what I saw in a lore video, he can change the intensity of the shield strength and used it during the landing, so I guess they're unlucky Still a headcannon that he bounced around 😂
6:25 Fun Fact: Sergeant Johnson is a Spartan-I, Chief's predecessor (Master Chief is a SPARTAN-II). On top of that, his speech to the troops changes with each difficulty level, getting funnier each time.
As far as the order for playing these games, this is probably gonna be the order that hits the best. It's definitely less jarring since with this order, the graphics/story/gameplay, are going to get better and better as you go
Fully agree, thats why I recommend ce instead of reach first , you miss the new features from reach when you chronologically and it can kill your enjoyment
50:42 Me and my brother used to do this stuff all the time. In this game you can do a "crouch jump" to get a little more height on your jumps. Just jump, and then immediately hit the crouch button. By doing this you can actually get up to where the blue plasma looking stuff is being shot out. This is a thing in all the other Halo games too. Driving the warthog is pretty weird, everybody has issues with it starting out. After a while you will get used to it. Practice makes perfect. Halo is my second favorite game series, right behind Mass Effect. Watching new people get into it is really fun. So far this has been great. You haven't been rushing through and you pay attention. You got to see a lot of stuff most people just walk past. For example, a lot of people walk past all the marines and crew in the first mission and never get to hear their dialogues. Not a super big deal, but I like noticing all the little details they put into games like this. Or looking at signs and stuff. Most people I have watched play don't bother to look at the environment like that. This was like a big throwback to my childhood when I played for the first time in the early 2000's. Liked and subbed, and going straight into part 2.
I just googled it and apparently "Wort wort wort" means an order, like telling their troops to go or advance! I NEVER would have thought that LMAO this is so funny! I love it! It sounds like him laughing at me 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been playing Halo since Christmas of ‘04 and actually started on Halo 2. Started just a few years late but shortly after got Halo CE and all the halos from bungie have been in my heart since then! I love seeing reactions from you and many others from time to time to see y’all’s reactions on it as it kind of re lives my first days with Halo. Love the vids and keep it up!
Ahh so excited for this! Halo was the first shooter game series I ever played back in 2007 when I was a kid. It's so nostalgic and the world building is great. I'm not a huge scifi fan but Halo holds a special place in my heart. Hope you enjoy it!
Oh wow. I'm actually tearing up. This game took me out of a dark place when I was younger. Plus, the pure nostalgia. I can't wait to follow you on this journey
That's amazing, Mohammed 💜 I love that I can give you those beautiful feelings. Have a wonderful weekend and I'm excited for your new project coming up!!
Fact of my life : HALO COMBAT EVOLVED is the first game i ever played on a pc....i still remember my brother bought it from a friend and he played it while i watched.....this game is very close to my heart thank you for playing it and im reliving all the memories though theses videos
Mad respect for sticking with the OG graphics for your first time experience, for the most part. Your enthusiasm is infectious. The OG graphics are much clearer for teaching new players the mechanics, and future games got more "immersive" in their graphics, losing visual clarity in the process. Luckily playing in release order you can learn stuff on the early games so the later ones with more complex graphics aren't so confusing.
Glad you’re enjoying Halo but to answer some of your questions you do learn a little more later in the story but combat evolved is mainly to slowly introduce you to the universe. Halo 2 is when the story really gets started and it’s also when the goofy vehicle physics get massively improved. Driving is kinda tough in CE but it gets much easier in the other games but be very careful not to bump into your marines in CE. Because of the vehicle physics you could easily badly damage if not kill one of them if you’re not careful. Was excited to see what you were gonna play next after you took down Makarov and I’m happy it’s a game that brought me many years of happiness.
Can't wait for this. I'd recommend up the music volume as its a key part of the experience as I'm sure youll come to find out. A key thing to remember is you journey begins 25 years into a war with an Alien alliance. All that I will say as that Humanity is losing. Have fun and good luck!
I still find it quite impressive that humanity lasted 27 years (2525-2552) in the war against such an advanced group of different species, we're just built differently 💪
The small orange guys are called grunts, the big blue guys are called elites, and the ones with the green shield are jackals! Hope you contiue playing the halo games!
Ok this is officially awesome! I freaking love Halo. I hope you play through all of them the story and universe is very intriguing. And hey maybe some of us can explain a little when you get confused or when some context is missing since there is a ton of story outside of the games in the books, movies, and short films along with the Halo 2 -Infinite trailers that have story. Also there are terminals. Make sure you watch the terminals after finishing the game because they contain very important lore but they can spoil some plot elements in the games they are in. Halo has such an amazing and expansive story so I hope you enjoy your play through. So with the enemies speaking English it’s actually lore that they learned English so they could steal human information easier as well as communicate and intimidate the humans. It’s not explained really ever so I thought that was a necessary thing to say here. Most of what you were wondering so far does get explained but not immediately so I won’t say much on it.
I'd definitely be up for some lore and background training 😅 I'm glad to hear that more gets explained as we go along as I sure do feel a bit lost so far. It's such a fun game! I'm having an awesome time ☺️
cortana is an AI, she is the master chief's sidekick and long time friend, she slowly developed feelings for him over the halo series, in halo 4, master chief was never the same after this.
Thank you so much, Pete!! That's made me so happy to hear you enjoyed it. I found it a lot of fun, though at times I felt like a fish out of water a little bit... It feels just as hectic as Modern Warfare, so with my training from Captain Price fresh in my mind, I just might be okay 😅 Thank you so much for everything 💜💜
Whoa! Im looking so forward for this one! halo is such a classic, I haven't played the story in a long but slayer is always a go to whenever I have buddies over. Looks like im not alone in it being the first shooter I've played. Im glad you stuck with og graphics, Im sure some of its nostalgia but it really doesn't suit such a iconic game. it really spoiled the concrete brutalist architecture of the buildings scattered around halo. The towering pillars of seemingly endless concrete, that despite their age look completely pristine, the long quiet empty halls, it was all just perfect world building and atmosphere. but then the new graphics turned most of the concrete into these shiny detailed steel and metal plates that are just too cheesy sci-fi movie for my liking, not to mention the bad lighting when you get indoors. I swear every rooms fully lit yet you still cant make out the enemies from the floors and walls. 11:54 oh my gosh when that music kicks in! both the music and sound design in this game are timeless!
Juliette i'm on watching you now as you begin with part 1 of Halo Combat Evolved i'm really excited that you are playing it and I'll be watching your playthrough with it, have a magnificent week and Thank You very much my Friend Juliette.😊🙏
Using the original graphics for CE was a good choice. The remastered graphics look decent but it's not really accurate to the original art direction. They learned their lesson from that and did an amazing job with the remastered graphics for Halo 2. In fact, I haven't played through Halo 2 in its original graphics in years because of how good the remastered graphics are.
There are some actual stealth sections. Although it's pretty hard to go through them without getting spotted it is possible but the game never tells you where you can use stealth so you're probably gonna miss them on your first playthrough
Welcome to 2001. And I’ll let you in on a secret. I’m a 2001 baby and my brother is and was a halo fan. And Halo 2 is my favorite game out of the day. 😊🫶
46:14 and imagine the amount of people they lost at the start of the covenant vs human war xD as reach was the last planet humanity had in control before earth and they lose it to the covenant overhelmind force
The pistol is one of the most powerful weapon in Halo CE. And you can basically beat the game with it. Enjoy it. As it will not be the same in the later games to give you a heads up 😭
22:30 considering you have shields not be afraid to go head on more often, just keep a eye out on your shields so you aren't caught in the open when they break
You should watch Red VS Blue also. That series is what really got me into halo lore... And it's not about halo at all really lol so no spoilers. I love all 15 seasons although it started small and low production quality... It got much better by season 4.
Playing on Easy mode is not the true Combat Evolved experience. The story is fun and gameplay mechanics are still incredible for a twenty yr old game. Play through on Heroic or Legendary mode for a real treat.
Don't hesitate to punch the ennemy near them! Shoot until their energy shield are down, then punch them to achieve them! Halo is at it's best when you play and feel as a a killing machine, aggressive and precise! Have fun! ^^
Oh my god, the hype is so high I even started this sentence with Caps Lock turned off for the first letter and on for the rest. "Hey guys and welcome to Halo: Combat Evolved!", I never thought I'd hear those words. AAAAAH, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!
11:28 thats a elite, the equivelant of spartan of the covenant, in lore they are really good warriors and extremly good at mele (specially with energy swords) so they are a dangerous foe even with the minor ranks of the elites, the hunters are a more dangerous foe than elites but they are rare trought to the games on showing up rate than the rest of units and the weakest of the covenant troops are grunts, easy to kill but funny regarless with how much they scare of manster chief :P
@@xJuliettex no problem, i forgot to mention the jackals, the ones with shields, they mostly use plasma pistols that if you let them charge the shot for to long and shoot it to you it will instantly drain your shields to 0 and have to have it recharge again, on the next game you will have the jackal snipers wich in legendary on halo 2 are a nightmare
Hi Juliette. Hope you've had a good start to the week. Really looking forward to this let's play. I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I do. 57:25 This area is a good example of why the original graphics are better (in my opinion). The original is dark, gloomy and atmospheric, whereas the remastered graphics are way too bright and it really hurts the feel of the game. 55:16 Typical woman driver! You're supposed to turn before you hit the wall you know 😛😂 The handling does take a bit of getting used to, but once you do it's a lot of fun. An awesome video and a fun first step into the world of Halo from you Juliette. Thanks.
Woman driver 🤣🤣 do I have to threaten with more smelly cats? I really don't like driving the Warthogs 😳 this doesn't look good for the future, I'm sure! I love the original graphics! The new graphics are lovely and sharp and shiny, but there's just something really cool about the older graphics. It feels like it suits the game and I'm really happy with that choice! I do want to try it with the updated graphics in the future, just to see what it's like! Thank you, Neil 💜 I'm so glad you're looking forward to this series!! Now I finally know what all my Halo action figures are about 🤣
52:19 warthdogs and scorpions are sturdy (immune to be destroyed) vehicles so don't be afraid of going rambo/ramming speed with it as in ce you don't lose health/shields if you crash, of course you can die if you fall in a out of bounds area or get shot alot of times but other than that you safe in the warthdog altough in the next games all human vehicles can recieve damage and be destroyed like convenant vehicles
1:24:04 Don't worry, everything gets resolved at some point, Halo as a series is known for its massive lore and worldbuilding, there's plenty of material on YT which I'm sure a lot of people will request for you to watch.
Ok so. Fun fact about the crash landing in the escape pod, the reason why everyone dies is because the chief refuses to wear his seatbelt, so he bounced around like a one tonne ping pong ball on impact.
Oh dude I'm so excited for this! I've been playing Halo since I was 5, I'm 25 now and Halo is truly the best franchise story wise. Also great choice on starting the OG saga first. Having context for Reach is what makes that campaign so good. I hope you switch back and forth sometimes so you can see the differences however I prefer the OG graphics; I hope you really do like Halo, it's amazing.
@xJuliettex Halo 2 is going to be a wild ride! I'm currently on your 2nd video of this series and I absolutely love how intrigued you are by Halo. Most of the metallic structures and the Halo rings themselves are made by an ancient Civilization called the Fore Runners. A lot of stuff in Halo!
The big guys are the Elites. They are usually the squad type leaders for the Covenant. And they are near on par with the Spartan. Like Master Chief. And also, you don’t have to call everyone sir as they will respect you as you are a hero already. 😊
@@xJuliettexit can one shot hunters on the back so keep that in mind if you struggle with the big boys and not it ain't the elites, you soon find out wich one are the hunters and only works in ce as in the rest of the games was nerfed the one hit kill towards hunters xD
Made it through most of the cod videos by now nearly all caught up. Halo isn't a game for me but the soundtrack is amazing through most of the games. Hope you are doing well
fico sempre feliz em ver pessoas novas conhecendo o meu jogo favorito, jogar com os graficos antigos, eu achei uma boa escolha, a partir do halo 2 não precisa ser o original o remasterizado ta fiel
I’m happy that you went with the original graphics, cuz they’re even better than the newer ones imo. and it’s awesome that you’re enjoying the story! For Halo 2 though, I highly recommend the anniversary graphics, cuz they’re amazing beyond words and are far superior 😍
27:11 its automatic, in ce you can pick up mega shield temporal upgrade and temporal camo upgrade, the megahield upgrade dosen't recharge as they are 3 layer shield but your regular shields do recharge on their own
@@xJuliettex in the next games execpt reach and halo 3: odst you have health recharge alongside the shields but this shield its hidden, for ce and reach you have medkits scattered around the levels, usually next to human weapons of fallen marines or specifict areas in the case of halo 3: odst and reach
the story is amazing, us more than casual halo players don't talk about the cursed Halo 5: Guardians but I'll let Juliette and you come to your own conclusions.
1:08:13 you had killed your original gunner and don't panic when you get shot by banshess, they easy to take down, specially with warthdogs machine gun and you have you shields :p
Oh yes my number one favorite video game series ever. I played the classic halo ce on the original Xbox when I was 4, 5, or 6 years old. And it was my very first video game I played. So many good memories. Grew up playing all the halo games ever. It will always be my favorite. I look forward to seeing u play all the halo games including halo infinite
I had a huge smile on my face through your entire playthrough. Such good memories. I loved how the gunner alternated between excitement at your driving and then thinking that you were going to get him killed😆 I had totally forgotten that those weird little dudes sound like a baboon/hyena hybrid. lol
Choosing to play in release order and original graphics for CE you made the best choices and you did yourself a favor. One trivia for you: Sgt. Johnson's motivational speech at the beginning changes depending on the difficulty you chose. This applies to H2 and 3 as well.
@@Ciffer-1998 Basically the Anniversary graphics of Combat Evolved removed a lot of details of the original (the majority of which I can't discuss, because I would need to spoil some things), secondly the flashlight has become useless, because there are no more dark zones in the game. Finally, fighting the elites has become a bit complicated visually, because it's difficult to see how much their shields are being damaged, or see their different colours contrasting with the environment. Hope I was helpful to you.
