That thing we all strived to do. Halo is one of, if not the best game created by the hands of man. An absolute classic from Bungie, playing as the green man slapping aliens in space.

I love this. I knew players would want to save marines. I remember watching a friend play T&R on a beta version and he felt so guilty when his marines died he kept starting the level over and over. It didn’t matter to him that the same marines would keep re-spawning, he took it seriously. It wasn’t a game.

@Saint_Jam 7 месяцев назад

Oh damn, cheers Marty! The legend himself, thank you. Honestly I'm pleased to hear that even in the days of Halo's development, people would go to lengths to save the marines. But hey honestly, cheers for the comment Marty, I really appreciate it. I have great respect for you and the team for creating one of the best experiences in gaming.

@cosmictreason2242 6 месяцев назад

Called it xD Did you know Marty's the reason Johnson dies, too? If there's one thing the original dev team understood, it's that the only story that never ends is the infinite game we're all players in right now. All others must end. Like SaintJam monologues about at the end of this video. That's the paradox of corporate ownership of works of literature. Economics is an infinite game. But books, movies and video games by necessity need to have endings. These two forces are in constant tension.

@ClonedGamer001 11 месяцев назад

You can actually find Marvin Mobuto's body. Right after getting off the elevator to the fourth floor, if you look left instead of right, there's a dead marine tucked in a corner, lying in a mixture of human and flood blood. And it's not a dead flood form, it's just a regular marine. That's Sergeant Mobuto. He nearly made it to the index with nothing but standard issue body armor and a shotgun. The man is a hero.

30:00 it's possible to save the 5 marines that are dropped by the pelican. It's just very hard and takes a long time. You need to do the skip where you safely jump off the bridge and get inside the Worthog and push the marines to the other side to the dirt path coming from the door. Then find a banshee and go back up to the bridge and play the level like normal. When you get down there the marines will be alive and not moving, the will start moving and following you when you reach the scorpion tank and the Sargent.

@@gustavoaraujopenha8463 not really, you can just use a large shield to protect smaller troops as a Gundam/titan for example, as a spartan or space marine you're able to move in first and repeatedly take light arms fire in place of your allies, they all can use far stronger weapons compared to normal soldiers while being just as mobile.

@gustavoaraujopenha8463 11 месяцев назад

@@trutwhut6550 A shield would barelly cover any infantrymen behind it, only being usefull in buildings and maybe to move to one cover to other (Specially because the mech can bring it's own cover fire). Small arms protection is much overvalued, a very small % of casualtyes in warfare scenarios are because of small arms, even during WWII only some 20% of casualties where from small arms and it was in an era where infantry did most of the jobs in battles, and the things that actually cause casualties nowadays probably would still disable a power armor/small mech. Most of the work in modern day for infantry is scouting and ambushing vehicles with HEAT projectiles (which does not need a big firing plataform to work), both don't have a big need for more armor and can even be rindered with the use of a complex machinery that would decrease stealth and reability while incresing operation costs. More armor is always nice but the cost eficiency for power armor is debateble, we can already block most small arms with kevlar and ceramic armor but just don't invest a ton in armor because it's not that usefull. I think that maybe in smaller scale conflicts like ant-terrorism and other civilian security and law enforcement pratical uses for heavy infantry can appear if the cost is low enough, but till then it's most a cool sci fi concept with little expected real life use.

This isn't a secret, it was practically advertised as a 'good thing' that the people making the show didn't care about Halo in practically every news site that covered the TV show being released.

Oh my god saving those marines on truth and reconciliation is so nostalgic. I remember when i was a wee lad spending dozens of hours trying to save them. I found an area on one of the lower levels you could leave them at, rather than the closer one you found. Doing that or just playing co-op and leaving the chief they were following behind when you trigger the cut scene so they arent in the death room. There is also a way to save all the marines on silent cartographer. Dont remember how off the top of my head as its been well over a decade, but its definitely possible i remember encountering the same issue you did. I remember leaving the warthogs with marines in them all around the map looking for spots where they wouldnt die and what not. There is a place where they can be out of the hog and not die I no longer own halo or an xbox so i cant open it to refresh my memory. In guilty spark, there is also i think 2 marines you missed on a box somewhere that you can save through some means i dont remember.

@Deuce_and_a_half 9 месяцев назад

It's so awesome you put together all the lore about what was happening around the ring to the rest of the UNSC forces other than Chief. As someone who's never read the books I really appreciate this video that slots into place not only the timeline of events outside the game but also slots them into 'real time' with what Chief goes through in the game. And well done on saving the marines :)

its extremely refreshing to see a youtuber who has such a genuine love for what he does and to put in so many hours of hard work to provide entertainment for likeminded people. he could have easily just made a guide on how to save all marines, cold, calculated and only there to achieve results but his combination of the lore, his love for the franchise and his drive to make high quality entertainment is truly astonishing for someone with such a low sub count. His work deserves far more than he currently has and I'd predict that in the next 12 months his channel is going to sky rocket to the level of TheActMan and others. I'd be very surprised if TheActMan doesn't already have him on his scope and is watching. Absolutely loved the video my guy, keep up the good work, it will all pay off in the end I'm sure.

Me and my dad played Halo a ton when I was younger, and we actually triggered some of the glitches that kept Marines alive.

We weren't always successful but when we were we were estatic. Love your recaps of the lore around the game, and the editing you have put into the video. Awesome work man. Can't wait to see more!

During the Pillar of Autumn section, I'm surprised you didn't mention the heroic efforts of Fireteam Raven, who managed to reactivate a section of point defence guns and destroy a significant amount of Covenant spacecraft, while also keeping the drop pod bays secure from the alien assault. They even run into the Master Chief as he boards the lifepod to escape to Halo. Unfortunately, Fireteam Raven would not survive the Battle of Installation 04, making a desperate last stand against Covenant and Flood forces to buy the Chief as much time as possible to detonate the Pillar's reactor. Edit: I seem to have caused a war in the reply section. I wouldn't go in there without a sealed combat suit, and I also wash my hands of that entire argument.

They only didn’t like people who weren’t Bungie working on Halo but they did accept at least Nylund’s 3 as canon plus Contact Harvest written by Staten and in fact the reason why the Fall of Reach was so heavily retconned (other than the parts that were simply miscommunications between Bungie and Nylund like Elites and Hunters not showing up until 2552) by Halo Reach is because Frank O’Connor wrote most of the plot, also we can see that Bungie’s writers saved it from being Halo 5 tier
