Please allow me to formally request Vladthemadmonk be honored, he was my childhood best friend and he passed away on June 23rd 2022 due to a car crash I ask all to help bring honor and distinction to him and his Legacy, he got me even more into halo and online gaming as a whole, he really had a massive impact on me and my life and I miss him dearly. RIP VLADTHEMADMONK
Halo 3 Split screen was my first ever Halo experience. I was 10 and my dad brought home an Xbox 360 he’d won from work and a copy of ODST and Halo 3. 2 of my brothers and I would grab chairs or push the couch up close to the TV and get our dad to play with us nearly every weekend/ holiday break from school. It evolved into Firefight tourneys to see who’d survive the longest, free for alls with low gravity physics, infinite ammo and SPNKRS, then we moved to Reach, Halo 4 and various golden age COD games. It happened for a while until I turned about 17/18… moved out shortly after and haven’t had the same experience since. My dad passed away almost 2 years ago now, all my brothers are in different states but we all still keep in touch. Halo is still my all time favorite, but definitely can’t compare to the kind of fun we had when we were kids. Man I miss it, but still so happy I was lucky enough to live it. Love this franchise and the memories I’ve had from it. Definitely love this compilation too, putting it on to study or just chill is always awesome, best video game music of all time IMO
I would honestly agree, they treated the music as if they were creating true beautiful art and they did, its actually very impressive to me that a game developer can manage to put together soundtracks as good so effortlessly
"Heavy Price Paid" still hits me like a sack of bricks to this day. The name alone conjures tragic imagery. Really makes you think about the loss of life that happens in Halo all due to false piety and hunger for power.
@@aethelfrithofbernicaWe need to agree on a singular vision, to carry the spirt of halo. I have hope but fans too can botch beloved things up for many reasons. I just hope to experience in any media, visual or in a book the passion and care that went into halo.
Mom passed aways 2 weeks ago, my situationship i fell in love left me in that same week, so .. i am coming here just to cry my eyes out and remember how easy and simple times were back then with the boys... and mom still being here with me.
A friend of mine introduced me and my brother to Halo via Halo 3 and 4 on his Xbox 360. After that, I became a gamer and big time Halo fan. My brother and I later got an Original Xbox and played through Halo CE; and after that, I bought an Xbox One and purchased the Master Chief Collection. Thank you, Daniel, love you, mate 🫡
6:25 RIP Noble Team, you were one of the very Spartans that I played ever since i was eleven. Even if you were fictional, even when you had flaws, you guys were my brother and sister in arms that I never had. Its been an honor to fight with you guys
Rest in peace dad. Thank you for playing all these games with me when they came out and being the most amazing man and my own Master Chief at home I would have followed you anywhere. 🍻
Carter: I've got the mass. You're on your own Noble. Carter out. My favorite line from Halo: Reach. Carter has always been one of my favorite spartans.
Love and respect to my boys Scoopers, Ascendance, and DaveLovesDrugs. Been years but playing Halo with you guys were some of the best memories of my childhood. -Oatmans
It's sad to remember that there was a day many years ago that was my last day playing halo. The fight I'm in now is very different, but the one I've finished will never be forgotten.
The best and the worst about Halo soundtrack is, that Marty O'Donnell and his team put so much on them, it makes them alive, and when the soundtrack meet in the middle of our memories, it make us return to days we once thought they were lost forever. That Humanity, that feeling of world alive, is what lacks new soundtracks, so full of mind and machines but hasn't realized yet their purpose. That's why Halo hasn't wake up yet, because is Just a Monument to All Our Sins, from players, to businessmen, from developers to writers but mostly, from consumers for let do what they do to what we loved, a mere hillside that remains burned. At least, Halo ennobled all of us, and we can't forget that!
Dunno if the uploader is still active but whatever. Halo meant something. Halo was something. Halo had meaning. Halo had personality. Halo made memories, as it is one itself. Halo is more than just a sci-fi shooter. Halo means something for all its fans. My interest in history, military tactics, military campaigns, warfare, sociology, religion and psychology all came from this series. It has shaped my life, as it has shaped other’s. Halo meant something.
Halo still means something. Whatever that has happened over the past 10 years doesn't negate what Halo did. Even if some want to turn it into something lesser.
Halo was put together by many people who deeply cared about creating a great story, a fantastic work of art to be experienced, and it was all intelligentsia done. I am unaware of any media post 2012 that has a similar aura in it. Halo means a lot to many of us. To me it is many things, a story of hope, something we can look at and feel a wonderful human connection. The art direction, the level design, the story, and the people I have met via Halo means so much to me. Seeing the destruction of Halo's soul saddened me at first and still dose to an extent knowing its unlikely there will be something this magnificent again in our current world; but its inspiration lasts. I hope that I can take that inspiration and truly make something good of it.
ah, the glory days when of middle school when I'd hop over to my friend's house and we'd spend hours playing Halo 4, and later on 2 and 3. how he always carried me in co-op, and likewise beat me in multiplayer. ALMOST. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. now he's selling his house, and i might be moving too ... nostalgia, man. it has a way of kicking you in the balls like nothing else.
Halo 4 is that old...huh...I was 11 when that game dropped 11 years ago. Crazy! I actually remember little me playing Combat Evolved a long time ago, and being terrified of the library. I hated that there were no marines or covenant, just you and the flood
Feels crazy to see you youngsters talk about Halo Reach and 4 the way we old heads talk about the original trilogy. I was a teenager when CE dropped, didn't bother playing it until I was 18. I was an adult in the Army when Halo 3 dropped, had to wait a while before I could play it and thankfully people spared me spoilers, they understood I needed to have that experience.
This game, halo had brought me and my little brother together like no other before even though I was not the best older brother i wish that he never died. I still roam in the halo games playing through them finishing the fight, but without him I miss you lil bro may you rest in peace 🕊️
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the mountain with two peaks on Reach is supposed to be the aftermath of a mountain that was cut in half by a glassing beam
Someday, some kids will be playing in the woods near the city, where the shipbreaking yards at Aszod used to be. And they'll notice this rustbucket of a helmet half-buried in the grass, cracked visor and all. The paint will have faded long since, but they'll still know it used to belong to a soldier. And so they'll use it to play soldier. And they'll look for the rest of the armor, but they won't find it. Because it's turned to glass and buried under several feet of soil. Only that helmet, and the courage of the one who wore it, remains. And the laughter of those children will be that soldier's ultimate victory. And some years after that, it will be in a display case, in a corner of a museum exhibit. And the plaque will say it belonged to Spartan B-312, one of the last holdouts of Reach, and that plaque will be the only acknowledgement that they died, and the vindication of what they fought for.
Halo and Star Wars have such memorable sound tracks nothing can compete. Others are good but nothing is as beautiful as those sound tracks. Halo has the most beautiful themes in gaming history. Every theme is masterfully crafted and conveys so much emotion and wonder.
I remember watching my dad play the games as a kid. I just finished playing through the original trilogy again recently. So many memories. I hear this music and am brought back to my childhood. There are a lot of action packed moments in the series. But moments with this music truly made the game feel special. It showed just the gravity of the war and the toll it took on everyone. The Halo games will always remain some of my favorite games of all time. I will always love them.
Started playing the original Halo back in high school, when I was 14 years old. Met all of my friends through the game, culminating with Halo 3 in college. We drifted apart over the years, but at least the music will always be here to help me remember them
Whilst I get goosebumps from nostalgia I realise halo 2 had such a good soundtrack that fitted with the struggle of humanity, the elites fighting back in a covenant civil war and joining with the humans fighting a common enemy. Then halo 3s showed the final stand and vigor. Damn they were my faves
When I come here, I can't stay long. The nostalgia is too much. I like to think there's others like me out there that miss and cherish those Halo days.....back when things were a little less crazy out there. God bless yall.
I remember when I was really young I got to play Halo CE on my dads Xbox when I was in first grade. I didn’t really know what I was doing back then but I’ve beaten CE on Legendary no deaths recently and I still have my dads old Xbox and whenever I look at it, it brings me back to when I was younger and when things were easier. Thank you Halo for always being in my life :)
“There were many sacrifices. Humankind was mired in horrific conflict-meaningless bloodshed, leaving the great Earth eternally scarred. But finally, you looked up from the blood and from the dirt and from the dying… to the stars.”
I heard this and I feel lonely but at the same time ready to give it all. I always love Halo 2 and Reach ost’s, specially Halo 2, it makes you feel strong even in the worst odds
Halo holds a very special place in my heart, so many friends made and lost since my days in the unsc. Hearing these songs again makes me thankful for the ones who are still with me and for those who aren’t here anymore. I don’t think I will ever forget the love I have for these games. Unto new mysteries and joy. Six out
I have no clue if the uploader is still active but i just want to share this will all of you halo has been a massive part of my life in my younger days i never had xbox live so i had no one to play with so i would play halo by myself and get so amazed by the games amazing features and characters and then i got xbox live and i met a whole bunch of amazing Spartans who i would play countless hours with and now i dont know where they are but just know that you guys made my childhood a lot better when i was struggling thank you all so much for being yourselves and being a part of this amazing franchise with me ill never forget any of you and to those who aren't with is anymore you are never forgotten for all of us will who are still here will never forget you god rest you amazing Spartans and god bless all of you here today
honestly, I was listening to this while wondering around the EDZ in Destiny 2 the other day. when you're not fighting, it really fits certain environments and story points. For example, Never Forget always makes me think of the Red War storyline. It's interesting how Bungie never fully moved on from this aesthetic.
at some point while listening to this in the future, i might cry to it. i was introduced when i was 3 months old (my dads fault tho,i watched him while he played) and ever since then, when i got older, i learned how to use an xbox controller, then i learned how to play the levels themselves, and when i was in elementary the game i seemed to be the best at was Halo: Reach, it will always be my favorite halo game ever since bungie left halo, and 343 came in, the newer halo games (4- infinite) it wasn't the same, 2001- 2010 was the best years for halo, halo 2 anniversary was beautiful, but i'm glad i grew up with the originals from 2001 to 2010
For all my life I've been told to keep pushing even when things get hard. But for the first time when exodus played, I cried. I remember all the good times on the 360 playing with friends on reach. When life was so simple. What halo has and no other franchise has, Is the feeling. What feeling? The ability to just listen to the soundtrack and be brought back to when it was all so perfect. I was only 4 when my uncle (god bless his soul) died. We had a strong bond and around then reach was released. A year later I played it and it was the very first game I cried to. Since then I have had a bond with the franchise, I would leave and return consistently and no matter what, the music, the community, or the games. They were always there for me when times got hard. I've been numb to emotions ever since my toxic stepfather stepped into my life. But tonight, i cried and broke free of my emptiness. Thank you,
I know this may not mean much to you, but I have come back to my emotions too recently. Disspelling my own numbness. It has been an...exhilerating experience. I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care.
"I added a bit of reverb to the tracks to give it a more "Heavenly" feel" I have been looking for a small twist for these type of halo music and sir you nailed it. Looks straight out of a movie, great job!
Thank you for uploading this, somehow it's comforting in this time for me as I'm going through my first relationship, it lasted 3 years. Felt like I lost my own Cortana. Feeling so lost but also trying to rebuild myself, I wish everyone well. Have a good day my fellow Spartan and Elite brethren , take care and may better days arrive sooner than later
Hang in there brother.. If you wouldn't mind keeping us updated that would be awesome. Hoping to hear good news soon. Your partner is out there, trust me. Just need to give it time and patience. We are all here if you need to talk.
Hey Fellow Spartans and Elites, Seems to be 4 months after I made that comment. I'd like to thank the few who replied with their kind words. Presently I've... We've managed to find each other again and reconvene after a month of taking some distance. A lot of hard work, learning and unlearning to do from both parties as we're both human and very much imperfect and keeping level-headed communication as it's imperative for any relationship and it takes two to tango, I'm excited to be back with her again and give things a proper chance under a different lens, and hopefully be able to grow old alongside her for the long run. I hope some other people are able to come across this, as I'd like to remind them whether you're going through a rough time by yourself or missing someone... or both, 'tis but a step in a long great journey and this too shall pass, whether you reconcile with that someone you haven't seen in a while, find solace in yourself or in someone new.. or again both, there's always something to look forward to, just takes patience and hella hard work, as good things in life tend to be wrapped with challenges. If it isn't scary... it isn't worth it... and it's all but a leap of faith into the unknown ( paraphrasing a quote form Marty). I guess to close it for now imma end it on borrowing one more relevant and recent quote from the Infinite Campaign Ending: "But this isn't an end, it's a chance to make amends. To rectify mistakes, and it starts here" this is true, no matter how you look at it. Thank you for reading and if I need to write here again, may it be with good tidings instead of bad. I hope everyone is doing well, and if you're not, I hope you feel well soon as you're not alone, as a lot of people even in this comment section have reminded me. - SteezyFenrir out
I've always enjoyed listening to halo music from the action pack sequences to the somber moments. It can be hard to listen sometimes because I think of my older brother. We played Halo CE together back in late 2002 all the way up to Halo 5, though he never got to play Halo Infinite with me because he passed away to covid on Oct 28,2021. He was a fan of Halo:Reach and we had many memories playing. I miss him a lot and wish we could finished playing every halo in chronological order. Sorry for typing. As I listen to the music, I just wanted to say my peace. Whether the Halo Franchise continues or disappears as time moves on, Halo will remain in our hearts with good memories and good times. Thank you for the video, hope everyone's day is well.
Everyone has such nostalgic memories of Halo, where as I only recently played through all the games less than 2 years ago, and that was during an extremely dark part of my life, I lost someone who I loved very much, and halo was there as a distraction. Looking back on it, I was playing one of the best games I ever have played, and the series honestly felt like a friend I could rely on for a bit there, playing the games again and just beat Reach, it's relieving to play them again already.
@@Beamer490 Yeah I agree. Its just that Halo 4 and 5 had some pretty forgettable ones as well. Whereas with the other games, I can hear any song from the OST and literally be able to visualize where in the game that song plays. Know what I mean? Lmao
11:31 - 13:39 Me encontraste... pero tengo muchos problemas en mi interior, cosas fuera de lugar, puedes haber llegado demasiado tarde. Ya me conoces, cuando hago una promesa... La cumples... me alegra de verte Jefe. Vaya suerte que tengo, ¿todavía lo tienes?. El índice de activación del primer anillo Halo, un pequeño souvenir que guarde solo por si acaso. ¿Tienes un plan de fuga? Intentaré abrirme paso a tiros, complicar las cosas un poco. Mantén agachada la cabeza, ahora somos dos ¿recuerdas?...
Ever since Halo 4 came out, I’ve used Wreckage to help me go to sleep just about every night. I work with kids and before I leave for the night I make sure to put it on for them. ❤
Reach fell, we know that, but here we are, years later, still surviving. The events of the war against those alien bastards were terrible, traumatizing, and most of all painful, we made it THIS far people. We can keep going. So rally your damn men, we have a species to save. Humanity.
Most underrated halo sad theme is halo 4 the green and blue in my opinion still makes me tear up. From the way it builds up to this moment of sadness and then peaks at the end with a theme that feels like you have no choice but to accept it
We all remember the bombastic action pieces that pushed us forward but I would argue that HALO does as well or even better when the full tragedy of the Human-Covenant war is displayed, leaving a shattered human race, compared to what it was, and leaving the species of the Covenant at each other's throats and only the shadows of a once mighty alliance. The tens of billions dead, the human species as a whole damaged past the surface level. With over twenty billion humans killed and most of them civilians senselessly killed in the pursuit of a lie, I cannot imagine peace will be long lasting, no matter how good relations seem. The somber music here perfectly displays this, the desperation and senselessness of the conflict, and true horrors and tragedy it brought.
Well said.thats why reach is my favourite installment.we know from combat evolved or the novels that reach fell and we got an entire game battling hopelessly fighting a war we know we'll lose plus the sacrifices of noble team to ensure humanity has a chance against the covenant.all the other games are great but reach is my personal favourite
@@daniellawson8182 Reach is absolutely one of the best, if not the best tone wise as the situation on Reach slowly becomes more and more hopeless and the goal goes from winning to surviving
@@basketofsnake104 that we can certainly agree on.Reach is immense and playing as noble team sacrificing all felt a lot more human than playing as fire team osiris taking orders.
@@daniellawson8182 Reach I feel grounds Halo a bit, you've been playing as the Master Chief up to this point (Excluding Halo 3: ODST) and you're pretty much a demi-god in green armor with how strong you are, Reach shows that not all Spartans are lucky enough to be Master Chief, that with each battle won there are ten losses and tens of thousands of dead
You know what's worst? That War only lives on our minds, and as the veterans we are, we remember it each details because we lived that war, but seems 343i and Microsoft think we're stupid enough like other franchise's fans and we're going to buy all their bullshit still not working yet.
When ever i hear any halo music im always brought back to the past of when i first played halo and fell in love with it. I remember play so much halo reach that i burnt my original disk with how much i played it and i was so devastated by it.
I've sadly never gotten to experience Halo. I grew up a playstation kid but I've played it with my friend at his house doing 1v1's on his xbox. Even though I've never owned Halo I gotta say the soundtrack is hitting the same spot where my love for Skyrim comes from. I don't have nostaliga for these tracks but they're some of the best I've heard from any video game.
Good list, can't believe Green and Blue isn't on here though. If we could have seen through his visor, that was probably the first time he cried. The humanizing of chief in Halo 4 was done brilliantly.
Its insane how many memories and emotions a single game could bring. Ill never forget beating Halo Reach on legendary after trying for a week with my twin brother. Thanks for all the memories Halo and thanks for all the memories Alex ❤️
If I had to choose one character as my favorite, there's only one that truly stands out among the greatest. The purpose of a Spartan is to defend those in need. Duty, loyalty, compassion, and self sacrifice. That's what makes a Spartan. So my #1 spot goes to the big man with an even bigger heart. Tell em to make it count.
Just to say buddy, Thanks for this beautiful compilation.. And especially, for combining all the tracks so effortlessly and magically- it gives such an amazing flow! Cheers!!
My old clan was FTTE - fight to the end FTTE Butcher was my name. Im on pc now. I never left Those days were fun. Now I play helldivers and Space Marine.
for many, we fought. we won. but for every victory, a hundred defeats followed. every day until August 30th was more and more hopeless. we usually are the master chief, who never lost. but on reach, it was not him. It was you. we were all noble six. and we fought right until the end, and when he died, something inside us died too. he was a part of us. remember reach
I like to honor my grandma she's always the best grandma I ever had I always loved her shes always cared about everyone she taught me the real meaning of life and later on my life I finally seen what she meant there will be always something special in my life that's what she meant in January 6th 2016 she passed away I was only a 5th grader when that happened and I couldn't believe I lost my grandma when she passed I decide to keep her word I promise her I will always do my best in September 12th 2022 I found a song called 7 years and I knew this song will bring something for me I practice to sing this song for my grandma to show everyone how much I loved her and then in may 13th 2023 spring concert I singed 7 years for my grandma I felt proud from singing it everyone was so happy and they cheered after the song was over it was such a great moment ever for me and now I will always keep my memories of my grandma and her kindness and love rest in peace grandma I will forever miss you
Deadlysnake, Zach.. Man, I miss you more than can be stated or expressed. We fucked up em all up, while we had the time together brotherman. Thanks for the carries, goldenboi.
This goes out to the UF (united factions) clan on halo reach and also the joker nation. You guys made my childhood. I will never forget you. Lonewolf, somerandmhobo and the rest of you ❤❤❤
Started playing this game at 4 years old I remember playing with my dad split screen. It was so me of the best memories with my dad and was some of the most fun I have had. Now we have to own 2 Xbox’s to play and it just does not hit the same now. I get bored with halo 4 and 5 and Infinite. I miss old halo😢
Halo 3 was my first step into by far, my favorite game series to date. Even with the recent ones not truly being able to capture the emotion and feeling like the older halo games the soundtrack from each game will always be phenomenal. It just brings back so many memories and a with a sense, a comfort from when times were better. But now the music can push me to work for a better time, love this
