@@andreg7863 Same. Although, 313's Halo games aren't that great. I love Bungie's Halo games. EDIT: Actually, I haven't played my PS4 in like a year. I'm more of a Nintendo gamer.
If you dont already know the timeline goes like this, Halo wars, Halo reach, halo 1, halo 2 halo 3 odst, halo 3, halo 4, halo 5 and halo wars 2 which were the last couple of cut scenes you watched with atriox
The beginning of ODST takes place during the cutscene of the 3rd mission in Halo 2. The last level of ODST takes place during Halo 3. The events of Halo 2 and 3 happen over the course of a day.
Kat wasn't known for her driving skills...she was a communications/ tech expert, second in command, tactical expert. she will be remembered for how well she helped save people in New Alexandria
@Brennen Larisey which pretty much makes you and me very different...while i respect halo i was late onto the bandwagon and the entire reason i took my time to appreciate Halo was BECAUSE everyone else was talking about it and jerking off to it. i'm the kind of person where if everyone else is hyped over a game i try my hardest to ignore that game...because i'm sick of everyone else talking about it. when Halo was huge i was more obsessed with Gears of War
IDyce88 gears was huge back in the day, but Halo came out way before gears. and also if you don’t wanna hear people then don’t listen mate smh simple as that doesn’t stop me from missing out on an experience
I love how when he first started looking at Halo he was like "ok this is pretty cool" then after he started diving deeper and understanding the lore he finally sees it as fucking epic like the rest of us fans.
@@user-cj3ik9qq6m ''lots of'' Only God of War 2018 and Horizon Zero Dawn come to mind. Ill do one better. I got an used PS4 for 150 euros just for those two games, couldnt care one bit about the rest. Ill do one even better. Halo is the only exclusive I read extended lore of, and watch lore vids of. GoW2018 provided enough in game to enjoy the story of Kratos and feel for his struggle to be a father to a son who is a God as well, Horizon Zero Dawn being a new IP dont have a lot of extended lore I think and I was satisfied in game But Halo, ever since I started with Halo in 2010, I crave for more Halo each time I watch a lore vid, or read parts of the books.
@@razorblade6027 i watched all cutscenes and in game dialogue, both the PS3 and PS4 captures. Ill sum my opinion on it real simple The interactions between each character are really well done, and they feel genuine. Joel losing his daughter and suddenly have to care for Ellie, and they grow closer to this bond of parents is very well done. The story itself is about as generic as they come. Zombie-like virus and one of the main characters is immune to it. Thats as generic as it comes. The different character interactions are done so much better than the story itself. Thats my opinion on it, here is a bonus. You know what smaller game has exactly the same things going for it? A Plague Tale: Innocence. The story is about as generic as they come about survival from the Spanish Inquisition but the interactions between especially the two main characters, brother and sister feel so well done. Small scripted moments really shows the progress of the two siblings who barely know each other, to seeing each other as family and have to trust each other. TLOU got so many rewards, and I am not really interested in it, but a Plague Tale should get at least half the rewards TLOU got. But yeah, if you absolutely loved it, good on you. Aside from watching those two story scenes videos I have no interest in TLOU or TLOU2
Your Halo reactions to the cinematics are so entertaining. I can’t wait for Halo Infinite gameplay and cinematics come out, and I hope it blows his mind like none other.
In retrospect, I think Regret's haste to eliminate the humans 'quickly' is so no Covenant find out their connection to the Forerunners, and not so much about a lack of war machines...
Yea considering the fact the Forerunners left everything to humanity they probably wanted to make sure the followers of The Great Journey didn't know they wasn't the ones meant to use the technology.
Yeah you're bang on. When the Prophets realised that humanity were the Forerunners true successors, and what that meant for their religion, they lived to the covenent and made it seem like humans had irredeemably desecrated and destroyed forerunner artifacts. And so should be exterminated entirely rather than assimilated into the covenent.
As someone who has played and loved halo my entire life (starting with halo 3 in 2007 at the age of 4) i am completely amazed and delighted by how absolutely passionate you are for this franchise that you haven’t really known anything about as of a month or two ago. I can tell that you truly love halo because you talk about not only the games but the expanded universe, the music, the stories, and the characters. I loved watching you react to, halo legends and you learning about Elite’s honorbound culture to the forerunners and how you were genuinely interested by it. I can’t wait for you to react to things like Forward Unto Dawn or the few trailers you missed.
TwoJacksAndAnAce one time I was watching my dad play Xbox, I saw him Jim on this giant purple blob and punch it until it exploded, and asked if I could try and he gave me let me try. I don’t really see anything wrong with that. That was my first time playing a video game
Fr fr I believe after the battle, autumn was so damaged it was repaired at reach and that’s were we pick up at the end of halo reach. I believe autumn was the only type of that model ship to have upgraded weaponary and thicc-Er armor. A ship fit for commander Moo-F**ken KEYS
@@Shack-lion The Autumn needed repairs but the reason it was on Reach 20 years later during the fall of Reach was due to the UNSC planning a hail Mary operation in an attempt to stop the war (Operation: Red Flag). They called back all the spartan IIs they could, upgraded the Autumn, all with the intention of sending them to try and capture covenant capital ship (CAS or CSO), find the location of High Charity from the ship's data banks, infiltrate the city and capture one of the high Prophets. They figured if they could kidnap the leaders of the covenant that they could use them as leverage to force peace talks to end the war.
This is super heartwarming, seeing someone connect to these games the way I did, not just as a fun shooter but as an astounding and gritty space opera on a galactic scale with so many badass moments and brave stands and fights worth fighting. Welcome to the fandom DeeBee, I really hope you keep enjoying your stay. Looking forward to seeing you start in on Master Chief’s story!
And those are just their halo 2 anniversary cutscenes. The blur cutscenes in halo wars 2, while much fewer in number and length, look even better then the halo 2 ones!
16:52 and that is the reason why the Pillar of Autumn is in reach. For repairs and be used in the mision to kill the liders of the covenant with all the spartans II. But the covenant attack reach and all the plan go to hell. XD
i don't think so, The Pillar of Autumn was repaired from that battle long before Reach as there's a lot more battles it's participated in, given the 20 year gap between Halo Wars and Halo Reach
The pillar of autumn was being retrofitted with new tech and other things for its orginal mission before the covenant attacked reach. Before the covenant attacked it was going to be apart of a mission with the last remaining spartan 2s who were going behind covenant lines to try and kidnap the high prophets but it was canceled when the covenant attacked. The autumn instead took part in the defense of reach and then fled to start halo ce
But you might be partly correct because I dont think the autumn was repaired until it was requisitioned for the spartan's mission. I think it was mothballed after the battle of Arcadia.
The Spartans aboard the spirit of fire (red team) are considered to be weaker than the rest of the spartan IIs, though they’re the same red team are all augmentation washouts (failing the augmentation surgery, they’re bodies rejecting the enhancements killing or crippling them. However they were able to later be re augmented and deployed as proper Spartans.) Many speculate that red team got starched by atriox during halo wars 2 due to many factors: -The entirety of the team being washouts are weaker compared to other spartan IIs who survived their augmentation. -As seen in the end of halo wars, the spirit of fire goes into cryo sleep for the duration of the halo games only awaking a month after the events of halo 5. Being in cryo for that long may have led to ring rust or a phenomenon experienced when you take a (long) period of time off from fighting and not feeling as sharp as you did when you were last in a combat scenario. -Genetically red team’s bodies are around 20 years old making them significantly younger than any of the active Spartans IIs (40s) this however being disadvantage as Spartans grow stronger with age. -The armor and equipment they sport are heavily outdated. -Brutes are known to be leagues above Spartans in terms of strength, adding insult to injury they went up against Atriox.
I mean, even without all of that Chief regularly gets bodied by a single berserking brute on Heroic (canon difficulty), I don't see it as that much of a stretch that fricking Atriox could slap a Spartan 2
Glad you feel like a part of the Halo Community now. It's been a long time since I've met anyone that's new to the games or even still plays, so it's a joy to watch someone go through what I went through when I first experienced all of this content.
B4256MaStEr ._. I would change your list a little by moving halo wars 1 to be first and I mean it looks like it was anyway to be in chronological order
I love seeing a gamer from a community that disses halo on every chance they get, play and enjoy the games for what they actually are. The halo universe has a lot of lore, like, a lot, trust me, but I really enjoyed the Video so keep that Halo content rolling! Also Halo wars 2 is already out, its been out for couple years, you should do a reaction to halo wars 2, its definitely worth your time.
Dee bee geek Anders know that forge did not make it back that why at the end she said this Not all of us commander 59:22 And in the cutscenes were the arbiter get killed due to the energy sword stab into it the FTL drive (I think that why it overheating) got to damage to blow up remotely so the spartan says it will have to be fire manually so forge step up so the spartan won't have to because he believes that they will need every last spartan in the fight before this is over 47:14
I thought it was because when Arbiter struck out at Forge, Forge dodged the incoming strike, thus causing the energy sword to pierce into the FTL drive?
If you want there is a Halo book which tells the story of Forges daughter years later trying to find out where or what happened to her father and the spirit of fire crew, since they were reported missing in action. It was quite an interesting read
I really wish you had played this, because I feel like you would have enjoyed it. Halo Wars is one of my favorite Halo games despite being an RTS game.
He hesitated because the local forces on Arcadia were still fighting Covenant and Spirit was the only one around and they left them behind. Thats why Serina says "We did leave a note that were leaving...right?"
As someone who grew up with Playstation, I have to say I was blown away by Halo when I first discovered it. A series I really hate missing out on cause I never owned an Xbox console. It's almost worth buying a 360 just to get all the halo games that came out for it. Maybe I'll buy them on steam eventually.
Nothing in the Halo Verse gets me as excited as seeing the flood does. By far my favorite part of the franchise, it just baffles me how quickly they can spread. You could have a dude get attacked by a flood pod, and literally 5 or 6 second later hes already turned and coming for you, plus the more of them there are the stronger and more intelligent they get, its like they were made to take over the universe.
A note here that I kinda like is that each Prophet is named ironically. Truth lies constantly Mercy is bloodthirsty when it comes to giving out punishments And Regret never regrets anything. Ever
I'm loving your playthroughs of the Halo games and all of your reactions be them anime, these newer cinematics reactions and now this! Yes!! I really hope you do this for Halo Wars 2. Its so good!
Halo is the most epic series of content across media there is in my book. Play the games, find the terminals and then read the books. The lore is riveting and your excitement is palpable
While I understand why they'd want you to react to this, but honestly I feel like the first encounter with the Flood, for any player, should be on Combat Evolved tbh
Yeah, though luckily it seems like he wasn't spoiled too terribly. He was a little in the previous reaction, and a little here, but hopefully he still has a significant reaction to them. That means trying to steer clear of them until CE comes out on PC of course.
Love these videos, keep it up! I've been on the halo bandwagon since CE when I played it round a friend's house. Now it's my single greatest love in gaming. Seeing you discover the real depth of the canon and love it like I do and like so many others, it's great! All the cinematics at the end about atriox are very new, they weren't around when hw1 first launched. And while I really want you to dive into hw2, play it after you've played through the other games so you stick with the storyline. Also....now you've met the flood....your Gona love that in the main halo titles lol!!
Oh and Sgt forge, yes he is dead. His character is playable in multiplayer in hw2. And there are two novels that follow his daughter rion, on her search to find him and the entire crew of the spirit of fire, as they effectively drift in space, assumed dead, until the events of hw2.
Just a side note so you can know how badass Forge was. He picked a fight with the Spartan (Jerome, I believe) after 28:30 because he brought up the idea of killing Anders in order to keep the Covenant from gaining information. They gained each other's respect afterwards.
39:48 - The Forerunners - The Librarian - made sure that only humans could use their highest technology. It was meant to keep dangerous super weapons out of the hands of unevolved primitives.
"Fucking took you long enough! Why did he hesitate?" Because they weren't even supposed to be on this mission as they were assigned to Harvest and now they're going even further into the fire to an unknown location, and for just one life. He's abandoning his post to save 1 life over that of the many. It just happens that one life has crucial information that the covenant could use against humanity. It's a tough call to make.
Just to answer any confusion, Cpt Cutter hesitated in Anders was being kidnappd because he is already somewhere he isnt supposed to be. He was supposed to be in Harvest, but then went to Arcadia with permission from Cole. Thats why i believe he hesitated, at least. Also, the scene where Forge looks up at the sun after killing the Arbiter, that is him sacrificing himself to blow up the reactor. He sends the Spartans back saying “I believe we will need every spartan in the fight” or whatever. The scene right after you realize Forge is dead (the one with the hurt spartan and Atriox are trailers from Halo Wars 2 btw! I think 343 did a good job on Halo Wars 2.
I love that you're sitting back and watching Halo Wars' story especially since it's the chronologically (2531) the first game in the series! IF (a big 'if'..) you end up doing that for the rest of the games, I'd love if you did them chronologically too! But hey! I'm just happy you're enjoying the franchise man! I always look forward to seeing more of these.
I was absolutely, hopelessly addicted to this game back in the day. Before the first roster refresh, I had made it into the top 100 online players in the world. This was the ONLY game where I had ever gotten that good. After the roster refresh, I never cracked back into the top 100. But I still played the game ALL the time.
There's something about the first halo wars that even if you lose a match it makes you want to go back to prove something or just build a base and army again to see how militaristic it looks
i always thought one of the saddest parts of halo wars was that unsc official reports have the spirit of fire listed as lost with all hands. left adrift in space for 30 years, forgotten and presumed dead.
In essence, Grizzly tanks are equivalent to Mammoth Tanks from Command and Conquer. They’re also very awesome to make. You can make an entire army of them and lose only like two
The fact that i found you because your the best black clover youtuber and now your reacting to my favorite game series just is amazing. Keep it up man!
Halo 4's trilogy is focusing on , which people seem to forget spicly , the reasoning behind the forerunners designation and creation of the halos which the prophets were acclimated, which 1-3 hinted at this learning but never anyone fully learned, to learn more about but the forerunners kept much from sentient life.. including the knowledge of the prometheans and their true motivations for destroying and upheaving and ruling over species and human kind.
The pillar of autumn ends up at reach getting repairs after it's battle in orbit around Arcadia it's cool how the developers create such an atmosphere with little nods to lore and other games
That's not true, Halo Wars happened a long time before Reach, everything is explained in Halo: The Fall Of Reach. I recommend reading that fantastic book.
Legit your open mind to trying out xbox exclusives has opened my mind to doing the same for playstation. Thanks for bridging the gap from xbox to playstation for me and my friends
Anders knew. That's why she said "Not all of us." Forge didn't make it out because he stayed behind to detonate the FTL engine in the sun. You don't survive that. He sacrificed himself to save humanity, essentially.
Someone should tell this man about how William 043 died, went out like a boss, or even Kurt he went out like a boss too, I can’t even imagine the chiefs death when taking those two into account And don’t forget th best strategy in halo wars is upgrade your infantry to ODSTs then send a single unit to the enemy base and drop like 15 squads on it
Dr. Anders isn’t directly connected to the Forerunners tech. When the Forerunners died after the Halo Array fired, they made sure that their tech could only be used by humans as they chose humans to be the descendents of their legacy
Man, this makes me wanna go back and play halo wars. Second best RTS franchise I’ve played, to be fair I’ve only ever played two, but even if I played them all nothing will ever beat the battle for Middle Earth.
A few things you should know. After these events, the Spirit of Fire was "lost in space" so they couldn't contact any other humans to make them aware of the threat from the flood. So all their heroics pretty much went unnoticed. They all went into cryosleep because of that, too. The story in Halo is why people love it so much. It's so deep and rich with great stories. If you react to Halo Wars 2 i would wait until after Halo 5.
I swear I wish I would have played Halo for the first time in my early twenties. The nostalgia is great and all, but seeing your reaction I long for having those first impressions when a little more mature and appreciative of great storytelling and mission design.
Halo wars and halo wars 2 are my two favorite halo games, they are the best games that I’ve ever played in my life. I’m really excited for you to be able to experience halo wars 2 in the future, but next time I absolutely recommend you play halo wars 2, you won’t be disappointed.
Dude you gotta watch this: "Halo 2 Anniversary All Cutscenes - Halo 2 Movie - Remastered by Blur Studios". Gorgeous remasters of the original game cinematics
so this is halo wars spoilers but you know the whole plot now. So what happened was that he detonated the space ship's faster than light engine drive inside the core of a star. Originally a spartan was going to do it, but forge sacrificed himself so an extra spartan would survive. Damn i love these cutscenes so much
