Royal Marine Reacts To Halo Landfall! 

Fun fact, the production of this video ended up turning into a movie called “district 9” but was supposed to be a halo live action film

the absolute unit of a marine that throws the spike grenade back and blows up a banshee

Yes that was master chief. At the end of halo two he was on that ship with the prophet headed for earth. This short video is essentially a prologue to when he arrives on earth. This takes place right before halo three starts.

I like the minor detail where the soldier doesn't take out the spike *until the medic does it for him*

Yeah, this one really shows how much the UNSC and its personnel actually value Master Chief. They’re willing to go through all of this just to locate him, to get him back in the fight. “Believe” also shows the reverence with which UNSC troops viewed the Chief.

It is literally the prequel to halo 3. They are scanning to figure out where he is going to land

Watch "forward untill dawn" to see the chief. Also its pretty cool as a short film.

For a little clarification, that wasn't a needle round from a Needler. It was a spike round from a Brute Spiker. Basically, it's the Brute's version of the Covenant's Needler. Though, except for shooting crystalline shard-like projectiles that detonate shortly after striking a soft target...the Brute Spiker basically just shot red hot metal spikes that impaled their targets.

Yes the object falling from space was the Master Chief. The scanner detected the Chief's callsign from his armour. "Sierra 117". This mission was for the marines to find where he was going to land at the beginning of Halo 3.

"How have we not got a movie like this???" Lack of passion does that.

Make sure to react to the Halo 3 "Believe" trailers since while not part of the story like Landfall they still add their own wonderful bits of emotion on the game and Master Chief himself. They all make up 10-20 min if memory serves right and they should also be in one video.

I remember this, Landfall is LEGENDARY, Halo used to have some of the most insane marketing and Landfall is a prime example, how we haven't got a big budget Halo movie yet I have no idea it has everything you could want in Action Sci-fi films.

Me being a US Marine and seeing a royal marine react + knowing that we would be side by side in the UNSCMC stacking aliens makes me smile

Luke: remember in the end of halo 2 how chief is currently on the tower thingy. You’ll know soon enough

This live action video goes to show how things would look if we were really in the Halo universe and how tough the Covenant really were and how the UNSC relied on Chief and the other Spartan II's as they were the toughest fighters humanity had. Even the Spartan III's were all lost on Reach except 1 meaning the UNSC was way outmatched.

Marine: "aaagh! aaaauughh! ugh ugh aaaah!" Luke: "is that an actual needle? That's amaaaazing!"

Bro you can't even imagine how hyped this got us back in the day. The ad campaign for halo 3 and reach was next lvl crazy. I havn't seen video games promoted like this since the halo days

Gotta give it to the marines in this short film, they are absolute weapons

This brings me back. The hype around this game was unreal at the time. Sure, more people might get excited for certain games today as the gaming hobby is bigger and more mainstream than ever, but I still think there was something about the anticipation for Halo 3 that hasn't quite been topped. It felt like a cultural event with all the effort being put into the ads like Believe and these live action ones, tie-in promotions, action figures, stores opening for the launch, launch parties, and the mainstream media coverage. I remember watching the hours long launch special on G4 TV.

That medic is one of the MVPs here. Poor girl running around while being under fire trying to save as many Marines as she can. The scene of that Marine spiked to the wall screaming in pain from the vibration of her saw no doubt forever replaying in her mind.

YES! i've been waiting for this since forever!

That IS, in fact, the Chief at the end. THis is right before the start of Halo 3; that's him jumping off the Forerunner ship and back into the atmosphere. Those Marines were trying to get a tracking laser on him to track his trajectory.

And now would be a good time to check out the live action mini series, Halo Forward Unto Dawn.

That round that hit the ODST was from a Brute Spiker. A needler round would have exploded, possibly blowing a hole in the man. This whole thing I think was made in part by WETA workshop in New Zealand. They built that Warthog to be four wheel drive and all wheel steering or even crab walking (drives sideways). Its powered by an Isuzu I4 diesel.

this was basically the pilot for the Halo Movie, but due to some bean counting, we got District 9 instead. and a lot of the Halo assests have been re worked and popped up in other properties. essentially if they worked with WETA, good chance theres a kit bashed halo item somewhere lol this scene was basically the recovery mission for MC as he re entered atmo, which explains how Johnson was there at the beginning of halo 3

Gotta say, over the years, I've seen this many, many times before, both on its own and from other reactions, but this is my absolute favorite reaction that I've seen so far. Great content as usual, keep up the good work.

An excellent short film. I can also definitely recommend the Halo 3 advertising campaigns that aired during the game's launch. They made a bunch of little like, History channel specials from marines about the conflict in a totally narrative style. "If there's a reason we're here... it's because of the Chief."

The designer of the weapons for district 9, Greg Broadmore, visited our school about 11 years ago. His tell on how everything went down is that Peter Jackson was set to direct the Halo movie and everything was in pre-production. Enter Microsoft 343. They take over the Halo franchise and can the movie at the last second, which is why there is a functional Warthog on tour at some expos. And unfortunately they STILL have the Master Chief outfit locked away at Weta Workshop gathering dust. He politely refused to answer more specific questions.

"I know that there's a Halo TV show coming out, if it's anything like this I'll be more than happy" ...ooohh, that's all sorts of painful now...

I've come back to this short film so many times since it came out, really sick to see your take on it man Hope you are doing well mate 🤙🏼

I haven't seen this in so long. Brings back memories, glad to see you reaction.

“Wussup everybudy” ah that intro always gets to my heart. You’re cool man.

If you enjoy the Halo live action stuff you should watch some clips from the movie they made for Halo 4 called Forward Unto Dawn. They had some wicked moments in that including some badass moments with the Chief

Halo is one of my favorite game series, I’m so glad that you are going to be playing it.

Lol love the mix and hints toward scenes and sounds from saving private Ryan and Blackhawk down!!

There's 2 live action Halo Movies, Forward onto Dawn, which is an introductory story for a key character in Halo 4. The other is Halo Nightfall which is a background story for a key character in Halo 5. There's also Fall of Reach and Halo Legends, both animated Halo movies, the former being about Chief's training on Reach, the latter being an anthology movie, with a bunch of short stories set in the Halo universe. There's also the Halo Evolutions Anthology, 4 animated short stories, about 10-15 minutes each, Those could make for good reactions.

It’s important to remember, that they’re still human. ODST or Marine, brutes were nuts. Did not take much to kill them, in CQC, the shotguns in the halo universe are so damn big. Primarily, a regular 12 gauge isn’t gonna destroy their armor. Landfall was such a fine example of what the fight really was like for non-Spartans.

It really shows just how big Spartans are when you see how big a spike from a Spiker is when impaled in a regular Marine.

I'm so excited for H3. It would be really cool if you also watched the other trailers. Especially starry night. That trailer specifically is what gets me up and going every single morning.

"They've gotta show this car drifting round a corner" You're a legend Luke. I gotta admit that's what I think when you mention your schoolbus, tho that's probably a bad idea.

If anyone is curious what's happening, this is pre halo 3 after chief jumped out of the ship and it's where you start up in halo 3.

If you haven’t yet, you should react to red vs. blue

Hey luke there is a live action Halo full length movie, it's called Halo 4forward unto Dawn Actually it's all free on RU-vid

4:47 ODST 1: "ARGGGGH I'M HIT!" ODST 2: "SUCK IT UP" Always my favorite part

Halo Landfall has made me pray for a high budget Halo movie for like the past 15 years.

I've been waiting mad long for you to react to this video let's gooooooo

343 Industries later made 2 live action mini series which are now usually put together to 2 movies. One was as a prep for Halo 4, called Halo 4: Foreward Unto Dawn. The other one was a prep for Halo 5 called Halo: Nightfall There are also a couple live action trailer to Halo: Reach and 4 which are also epic, I'm sure people will recommend these to you when the time comes :)

Halo 3 probably had the best marketing for any game I've ever seen.

The Halo tv series is coming to Paramount+ and is releasing in 2022 and is supposedly following the storylines of the books, starting with Fall of Reach. It's following John-117 and his original Spartan team, who are seen in Halo 5 and are main characters in the books alongside John.

A long awaited video and it is good

Dayum.... this takes me back to my freshman year of college bruh. Still better than what Paramount did to such a good story. Thanks for reacting!!! God bless. Your Tongan friend from the US.

They filmed this in the rubbish tip in my city. It's a shame the Halo movie never turned out. I think this trailer series shows Blomkamp would have absolutely killed it.

I am hoping and praying the TV series captured that same gritty sense of survival. This is easily the best piece of live action Halo content I've seen in my 20 years of being with this series. Child's every damn time I see it!

The back of an ODST's head: Explodes Luke: Let's watch the instant replay!

5:27 that is the best throw ever... of all time

Chief hadn't landed yet , that mission was to acquire SIERRA 117'S location since Spartan 4's had yet to be developed

Please do a video as well of the Halo 3 Believe commercials. The diorama documentary really makes you feel immersed in the universe like everything really happened

You think this was good you’ll love the Halo 4 trailer. Keep up the great reactions buddy!

"if the halo tv show is anything like this I'll be more than happy"... little does he know :(

Also you should react to the Changing of the Guard Ceremony for the Tomb of the Unknown. It’s a really amazing thing and I think you would like it. There are also history videos of it!

Hey mate. This isn’t about this particular video, but I just wanted to say a couple of things. First.... keep on being diverse in your videos... I found your channel because I was looking at Astartes reaction videos. 2nd...I think you and the wife traveling is an awesome idea! USA is a huge country and you can really see so much more by driving. I will always remember driving from Washington state to Virginia.... via Southern California.... I was in the Navy then...with my wife and my 2 daughters.... 1 year old and 1 month old...lol....Irish twins....lol. Anyway.... we had made it to Oklahoma and it was apparent that I was super stressed.... we were at a restaurant and the hotel did not have our room ready for us..... I left the restaurant to check on the room as the family finished the meal...when I came back the meal tab had been picked up by another patron. The waitress literally said.... It’s already been taken care of. I hope you and your wife have a great time and a wonderful adventure! I truly love the fact that you are so open with not only your successes, but some of your struggles. I am a retired US Navy Chief. My first job after the military was as a contractor in Afghanistan...... for 4 years ... with the US Marines.... working on CREW systems... Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare jammers. Vehicle and portable man packs. And while I ended up physically fine.... I do have other problems. I was at Camp Bastion/Leatherneck when it was attacked around the time when Prince Harry was there. As far as the Royal Marines... lol... I first ran into them in 1995.... in Jebel Alli..... we were all drinking and a couple of them said a few rude things..... I stood up.... lol... and one of the older Sailors said to me.... pardon my language on this.... lol.... he said.... sit back down.... those are Royal Marines.....”They would rather fight than fuck”! Lol. Cheers mate. Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to let you know that I am wishing the best for you and the wife!

You should check out Halo: the mona lisa. The two halo live action films that exist right now are forward unto dawn, nightfall, and thats it.

that notification saying Siera 117 was master chief itself my dude

I remember watching this as a kid and I was very scared of the Brutes. Oh, how times have changed.

I highly suggest watching the Halo ODST live action trailer. It is only 3 minutes long, but in the video they portray glimpses into the recruitment, training and combat drop of an ODST.

The Halo live actions trailers are AWESOME

All of the “needles” you saw are actually “Spikes” from the brute spiker you’ve seen before that’ll be introduced in 3. This short film is supposed to take place directly before halo 3 begins

It'd be awesome to see your reaction to the Halo "Believe" Campaign with the in-universe interviews.

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is a full-production Movie (1 & 1/2 hours worth) for the Halo Franchise. It's pretty good.

So basically the shorts were about a group of marines or Drop Troopers risking their lives to aquire Master Chiefs coordinates so a recovery team can reach him (the start of Halo 3)

there is a live action movie! its named "Halo: Forward Unto Dawn" It starts with basic training of some teenager military academy, but they are the first to ever be attacked by the aliens and the top secret spartans are sent into combat. Master Chief himself answers a distress call from the protagonists group and tries to keep them alive until evacuation from the planet.

Day 22 of “REACT TO THE ATTACK OF THE DEAD MEN”😭

There is a halo movie, I believe it’s called forward unto dawn or something, you should react to it, it’s great

Fun fact, did you know this battle takes place in the Afghan-Pakistani border during the Covenant's invasion of Earth? Not in real life though, in Halo Lore. I doubt they filmed it there.

One of the best ones to watch 👌

They don't need to show the Chief. He's not the only hero. All of them were.

HALO: Forward Unto Dawn and Halo:Nightfall are movies you can currently watch on RU-vid

Every time I see this it reminds me of just how nasty the brute weapons are. The spiker in particular.

I love how this trailer campaign every was perfect. This shows that the marines and ODSTs struggled but held their own but need the Spartans to hold off the numbers of the brutes and elites

Another halo movie out there that you can watch is Halo Forward unto dawn. If you were interested. It’s a live action movie instead of a trailer.

There are a couple of Halo live action films. Halo: forward unto dawn & Halo: Nightfall. Reactions to them would be great to see.

He should react to the other Halo 3 promo stuff. Anyone remember what the videos were called that had the veterans telling their stories from their time fighting the covenant?

Can you watch Deliver Hope also? It’s really good and they made an actual elite costume for the trailer

There is a Halo Movie, Forward Unto Dawn that came out in preparation for Halo 4, not everyone likes it, I personally enjoyed it myself, but not everyone does.

There is a live-action Halo movie called Forward Unto Dawn which follows a bunch of academy cadets who are attacked by the Covanant.

Boss! You need to check out Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn! It is just like this and it is a 7 part series with each episode about an hour long. It is worth the watch my dude! Love the content!

Hey Luke, there is a full live action halo series (but basically a film) called forward unto dawn which is very much the same as this just with an actually full story

There is a halo movie called "forward unto dawn" it sort of builds background for halo 4 but I think its set before all of the games

There is a halo movie called forward unto dawn. Has chief in it too.

Cant wait to see you play Halo 3, the best game in the franchise imo.

That thing that many of the soldiers get hit by isn’t from the needles but is from the weapon that many of the brutes used called the Spiker.

It makes my day when I see u did a halo playthrough can't wait for infinite 😭

If i'm not mistaken, the unsc has thousands of factories so they couldn't immediately change their equipment, like the warthog being in service for atleast 300 years.

this is from one of my favorite directors, Niel Blomkamp! You should check out his sutff and youtube. his studii makes cool military and sci fi shorts

You should react to USS William D Porter The Unluckiest Ship in the Navy by The History Guy. Definitely one of the strangest stories of WWII. The Sam O Nella video is funny, but leaves a lot of important context out and takes rumors as facts.

Love you’re accent, I’m also curious how old your here. That trailer destroyed be when I was 14 years old

One thing you must remember Spartans where extremely rare the UNSC forces primarily did the majority of the fighting without Spartan support whilst MC did save the universe he acted like intended a scalpel taking out the covenant leadership while he did the UNSC forces where literally on their own the majority of the war putting up one hell of a defence one that even some Sangeheli congratulated until the Great Schism when they found themselves in an uneasy truce fighting with the Elites against the Brutes. I recently played through the series and I had forgotten how much Great lore and universe building there was from the weapons especially the UNSC weapons lore there's ALOT to the covenant species and weapons it's so well connected. Little Trivia the Slipspace Drive that allows Humanity to travel through space was designed and created by a Japanese Scientist called Wallace Fujikawa and a British Scientist called Tobias Fleming Shaw they called it Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.

The Movie "Forward Untill Dawn" is the connection between Halo 3 and Halo 4 I would highly recommend watching it before starting Halo 4.

I remember watching this after I beat Halo 3, Really Wish they made a Full-length film like this

Sierra 117 is the ID of the master chief. This video shows the soldiers getting a trajectory of the chief so they can get a hold of where the chief was going to land
