Reacting To The Halo Wars Cutscenes For The First Time | Halo Wars Reaction | Xbox Series X 

We are back with Halo Wars!! This time reacting to all the cutscenes! 💚 The full playthrough is also out on the channel if you'd like to check it out 😊 Thank you so much for watching! As always leave a Like, Comment, Subscribe, and have a good day 😊💚

Forge's sacrifice is even more tragic once you find out he had a young daughter who loved him to bits at home, who spent decades searching for him, not knowing he died

I love the sound of "Bonk" when they throw the Arbiter JAJAJA

An interesting tidbit: The Spirit of Fire was the first human encounter with the Flood, since it occurred long before the battle of Installation 04. But because they were stranded and isolated in space, they had no way of informing other humans of the Flood's existence.

The BONK when they dropped the arbiter's corpse off the edge was so funny and totally unexpected 🤣

The Arbiter in this game was so easily baited by Forge, shows just how puffed up that elite was. Pride comes before the fall, in his case both figuratively and literally :P

Fun fact, in the actual cryo scene, she would have had to have been naked. Halo book facts say that when you have anything adhering to your body while cryogenically frozen, your body breaks out into blisters in the areas covered. It's noted that Spartans must feel incredible pain from being frozen in their power armor, but they don't react to it.

Please never get rid of the "BONK" noises! That Arbiter one had me dying! 😂

As someone who has fanboyed over Halo Wars 1 and 2, I can adamantly state that at no point of 1 or 2 has Professor Anders taken care of herself.

It’s sad when you realize that thank you message was a send off to their fans. They were shut down by Microsoft during development, but continued to make the game as one last hurrah. They even stayed true to the classic art style while adding in some original stuff. They did in one game what it took 343 10 years to do.

Okay, but shoutout to the editors, because some of these edits were so seamless that I could've sworn Jade was reacting in real-time.

Forge was already suffering internal bleeding from that punch. Red team also grew up on reach with master chief they soild

Idk about anyone else, but the moment when they show the spartans are fighting and how epic the music gets just sends goosebumps every time I see it. God, it's amazing.

Theres an extra bit of dialog after the end credits when you complete the game on Legendary. Serina say "Captain, wake up. Something has happened."

Wow, that was quick also the halo wars 2 cutscenes are golden :D

Love how cutter seems to lose about 10 years in cryo… he looks hella younger in 2

The cutscenes were amazing in this game

ive always loved the subtleness of halo wars cutscenes one that really stands out, when the arbiter speaks out about "I will take what we have" and draws his swords you notice the honor guards ready themselves, or twitch, this arbiter was seen as one of the more aggressive out of the lot, and to them drawing a weapon infront of a prophet was taboo.

I stumbled upon this series recently after a long night shift at work, i have been trying to get in time on Halo infinite and have looked forward to the campaign for a long while. I was thinking for a long time about replaying the games so I can get the full Halo experience, but with the crazy holiday schedule going on its been impossible, so finding this series, and getting to watch a genuinely new person play these games I grew up with so long ago has been an absolute joy. Thank you for giving me good content to watch in the wee hours of the night after my shift :D

As a former main HW1 Player, I absolutely loved this game, especially growing up, it was a really nice twist and put in a different perspective like Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST. Making a very ambitious spin-off like the other two titles, the graphics looks amazing for its time and fit in quite well with the story lines, I still occasionally go back to this game from time to time for little RTS tournaments at parties and stuff. Plus the additional vehicles and stuff that was added in the game, made it so much better to experiment with into the later halo games, for instance, some of the vehicles were featured into the newer games and this was primarily thanks to Halo Wars with the introduction of those units.

More canonical context for you. The events of Halo Wars begin when a small fleet of Jackal raiders find the planet Harvest and its "relics" following instructions from a Forerunner luminary (device used to trace forerunner technology through the galaxy). Harvest's UNSC defenses mistake the Jackal ships for an insurrectionist attack and open fire. A Covenant ship survives that first contact and sets out to report its find to the Prophet of Regret. Regret sends an advance ship led by the brutes Makabeus and his nephew Tartarus to investigate the matter of the relic. At first Makabeus did not want any kind of contact with humans but after receiving a signal from the UNSC with apparently an offer of peace, Makabeus sends Tartarus and some brutes to try to make a truce and they are ambushed by the humans. Tartarus manages to escape to safety, the prophets Truth and Regret prepared their declaration of war against the inhabitants of Harvest, because according to them, the humans had forged a forerunner sign that was read with a symbol that the prophets believed to mean "Claim" in its lights, but in reality its meaning is "Reclaimers" (referring to humans) (later the prophets would understand the misunderstanding with the symbol but would hide it to avoid being liars). Regret ordered Makabeus to retreat but he ignored the order, thus eventually causing his ship to be found and shot down by the UNSC. Meanwhile, Tartarus discovered that a group of grunts surviving the first contact had been taken prisoner by the humans and forced to collaborate with them, thus causing the ambush they had made on Tartarus in addition to many deaths among his brute colleagues. As Makabeus did not accept the advice to leave Harvest, Tartarus decided to take control of the situation, dismissing Makabeus and preparing his downed ship to leave the planet, he even had a meeting with Sgt Avery Johnson but when he was about to kill him, the last of The surviving grunts from first contact discovered that Tartarus had killed his fellow grunts, so the grunt opened fire on Tartarus and pushed him back, saving Avery Johnson's life. After all this, Tartarus managed to escape in time from the UNSC armada that was heading towards his ship. Tartarus informed the prophets everything that happened and this started the prophets sending a fleet led by the arbitter Rippa Moramee to Harvest and start the five-year war for Harvest.

I love your reactions, they are so authentic, when you think to start with the trailers of Halo Wars 2 and the game the truth is that I am a little impatient.

I always have that “Captain wake up! Something happened...” in my mind when I finished that game back those days. Almost 10 years after we get Halo wars 2 but man, that was a hell of a wait

22:06 Okay, but seriously: Red Team is the *coolest* ! Jerome-092 is easily my favorite SPARTAN.

ngl i forget how good these cinematic are, SGT Forge is easily the 2nd best marine to have lived

That’s the old arbiter. He’s not the one we love, lol.

You could feel the sexual tension between Sgt Forge and the Professor.

These cutscene are never gets old ❤️

Loved your reaction to this! One of my favourite games I had on my Xbox 360 growing up! By the way you actually sounded like Serina when you imitated her! Impressive impression! XD

That's Red Team, Spartan Group Omega.

Props to Jordan for going through all the editing. You my friend are an incredible editor.

Every time I see the end of Halo Wars, when it shows the empty cryopod for Sgt. Forge, I give a salute for his sacrifice lol

Halo Wars has the distinction of being the first Halo game I ever played (3 and Reach if we’re talking Bungie-made Halo’s) and to this day the music has stuck with me. Ensemble Studios nailed it on the head so many times with this game that it’s stuck in my skull, and Halo Wars 2 really doesn’t have the same feeling. Both great games, to be sure, but the first will always be superior to me.

You are Soo gorgoeus!! Watched your Halo vids and yiu have grown greatly with you driving and melee skills :)

17:46 the BONK made that hit much more hilarious 😆

Love the echo bonk when the arbiter went over the edge lol.

You have grown sooo much over the Halo playthroughs! :) Warthog driver, weapons mistress.. to name a few!! Well done beautiful! Looking forward to you playing Halo Infinite! You deserve way more subscribers... and im sure you will get them! Keep doing ya thing! Love from the UK!

Fun fact: SRGT Johnson was one of the few first test subjects for the original Spartan program. You might consider him a “Spartan I” part of the ORION program, it is heavily implied SRGT Forge was fathered by one of these test subjects, and was born with some special “gifts” as to why he seems like a mythical type of soldier without being an actual Spartan. Hence why he could go toe to toe with a massive and skilled elite like the Arbiter, Ripa ‘Moramee.

You mentioned the Grunts look very tiny when the Arbiter was on screen. This Arbiter was known to be especially large for an elite, standing slightly over 8 ft tall and in armor about 8 and a half feet tall. He was one big mama mama

The Covenant; a Fierce, Genocidal religious entity. also the Covenant: *Grunts* at 1:30 Lmao when i first played Halo it was CE at the Beach Landing mission, I thought the grunts were gorillas because of their size and posture that echo-y bonk has me deceased X'D

The bonk when the arbiter hit the bottom caused a lung to rupture.

1:34 lol ! That " Bonk" was hilarious, she always looking for the right scene!

These Cutscenes looks good! Enjoying the Play Through as well! 🤗

22:14, I think this cutscene was actually a lower framerate originally so when the Spartans are fighting, he actually INSTANTLY contorts himself upwards at the elite before firing his SMG in the span of a single frame and it's supposed to look more impressive than it does now.

9:59 i remember crying at that part cause i was so hyped that i thought that was masterchief and all the other spartans were clones lmao

Hey 👋jade ❤ I enjoy the final gameplay still seeing it now. Moreover i enjoyed watching cutscenes. Your focusing and reactions are so good and beautiful 👍 I badly waiting for more games Thnx jade luv ya 💓

Ngl, when I first played Halo Wars back on the Xbox 360, for about half of the game, I was waiting for the game to go back into a regular Halo Game that’s in first person. I still hope they end up making a Halo Wars 3.

You should watch hidden Xperia’s “terrifying flood story’s” video it’s quite disturbing but interesting in a weird way

This halo definitely has my favorite marine design just before pelican pilots and nmpd officers.

Hey Jade ❤ your Halo coverage. Much ❤ as always 😊

That ending message breaks my heart. Ensemble my old friend, fair well.

A grim fact about the first few missions on Harvest iirc: while the planet has this snowy appearance, planet Harvest was before the war a very lush planet that quickly became the UNSC's granary world as its name would suggest. I have a feeling all the "snow" present isn't a winter snow but a nuclear one, from all the conflict that occured on its surface.

After years just now I see the ace of spades on Forge shoulder and directly link it to his daughter ! man what a detail

This game and Halo Wars 2 have my favorite Spartan II design by a mile.

I just now realized, was the “fleet” the arbiter activates in this game the first look of the Guardians of Halo 5? If so then the planet they went too would make sense why it’s infested with the flood, bc the guardians are basically smaller rings and would eradicate them. Then the spirit of fire saved humanity in this one game, then again with delaying the banished in the second game.

This game is so underrated dude, and so nostalgic for me since it was the very first halo I’ve ever played and it never once made sense to me as to why the game was disliked

23:42 Editor's at it again lol

the *bonk* caught me so off guard XD holy shit shit XD

It is so interesting to me how much stronger the covenant vessels are. Whenever you see them engage in space combat, the humans get annihilated. In the beginning of Halo 2 you see only human ships getting destroyed except for the one Master Chief takes out with the bomb. Now here in the Cutscene at 9:10 they show how 4 human ships engaged 2 covenant ships and lost.

Halo Wars 2 is awesome too. You get to see the Spartan Red team more.

Fun Fact: Most Sangheili stand on average 7.9 ft tall. This Arbiter (Ripa 'Moramee) was above average height standing, 8ft 10 Inches.

The bonk on the elite at the start made me laugh

Still amaze me that spartans were on vacation on arcadia.

I've heard an interesting theory, that the intro speech about the "five years of hell" is actually entirely about the game's development

One of the best Cutscenes in halo history don't care what anyone says.

We need a fleet manager type RTS game for halo!!

Gregg Berger as Capt. James Cutter Nolan North as Sgt. John Forge Kim Mai Guest as Prof. Ellen Anders Courtenay Taylor as Sarina David Sobolov as Ripa 'Moramee Robin Atkin Downes as the Prophet of Regret Leigh-Allyn Baker as Alice-130 Crispin Freeman as Douglas-042 Gideon Emery as Jerome-092 Marc Worden as Avitus

The cutscene are awesome super cool

OMG THE BONKS XD Best one is from the Arbiter jajajajajaja

Absolutely love the personality they gave Serena in this

So something i never really thought off until now but how did they get the Arbiter's armour back!!!

You gonna love halo wars 2

We live for the BONKS!!

i love how gamers collectively let out an ahh fuck when we see the flood

Man what a nostalgia trip

Halo Wars cutscene Sangheili are peak Sangheili design imo. Except for the Arbiter. Dunno why they made his face so droopy.

The fucking *bonk* noises😂😂😂

Finally halo wars hope you love it

Peep the legendary ending before playing Hw2. It's not a huge deal but it Hw2 starts off with the legendary ending from Hw1

There is alot of missing info because part of the story is in the missions between the cutscenes, but honestly its not too bad

I'd love to see you react to the Halo Legends episodes if you haven't already.

"WHy's the grunt so small" I mean....they are child soldiers

I’m saddened that forge never gets to see his daughter again.

Please do Halo Wars 2 next

Halo Wars 2 It's The most important!!!

Red team was just teenagers lol crazy asf

I'm still waiting for her to play halo wars 2

17:41 i almost died laughing

next Halo wars 2 ??? 😎👍(⌐■_■) here an epic trailer: "Halo Wars 2 Official E3 Trailer" 👌

RIP Forge 😭

It’s weird that Anders lost her vaguely Asian appearance
