The whole war could’ve been prevented if a single grunt didn’t fire it’s weapon.

“Current objective: survive” still gets me man

As someone who's so emotionally invested in this universe, I still can't help but shed a tear at Marty's music when the deaths of Noble Team are shown. Gets me every time.

I needed this. Me and my childhood friends played halo since Halo 1. Were all 27 and 28 now. But we had that one friend who was hyper fan. Xbox 360 halo 3 box set etc. He had a thousand of masterchief and other collectibles (1589 on count). He passed away 2016 riding motorcycle. We miss him. We were our own group Noble team, 6 of us.

Thank you for giving Noble Team there moment of silence and respect, I still miss them to this day …

Well-cut. Well-edited. Well-narrated. This video is Legendary. And finally, I understand the history behind what Ive been fighting for since childhood. Appreciate all your hard work.

As a kid playing making all those memories, you’d NEVER know the shit was so deep man. Looking into it coming back is truly awesome. If only we still had the classic simple feel of multiplayer that we all loved. They’re timeless

I’ve watched this video possibly 10 times in its entirety. Not counting the hundreds of times I’ve fallen asleep with it on in the background.

CE has the most nostalgia since it was the game I learned on. However, Halo 2 story is just too good

A little correction around 5:30 All humans are reclaimers, all of them have that ancient human DNA the librarian inserted in them, the only difference is that in some humans it is stronger than the rest. In fact this DNA was the reason why the Spartan 2 kids were selected, because that gene was stronger on them than the rest, Halsey influenced by the Librarian's plan looked for this special characteristics in the DNA to choose her candidates. This was also one of the reasons why Master Chief wasn't the first human to be called by 343 Guilty Spark to access the Library to get the Index, on a side note, there's one marine that got really close to get the Index, meaning he had the skills to get as far as any Spartan would've gotten without any of their augmentations, probably the normal human being closest to the next natural human evolution, if he were born the same year as Master Chief, he would've probably be one of the strongest if not the strongest Spartan 2, yes, above Fred, John and Samuel.

Halo holds a special place in my heart. I was introduced to Halo CE by a family friend when I was 8 years old (I believe in 2011) and it just stuck with me ever since. That's probably why I, a Gen Z kid, favours the older games over the newer ones lol. Thank you for making this super captivating video, I always find myself coming back to Halo Lore and this video just tells you how awesome it is.

As a huge halo fan since 2006 I can’t say enough thank you for this video it makes me appreciate more the lore that’s in the halo universe

The coolest sci-fi universe ever. So beautiful and mysterious at the tame time. With a brutal story of survival and perseverance. Halo gives me goosebumps every damn time.

Chief is without a doubt one of my childhood heroes. Thanks for compiling this man.

I’ve never realized how cool the halo lore is. I was just playing halo 1 but it made me want to play reach and now I want to go through the rest of the games in the MCC. Thanks for the vid!

I've always know Halo had some deep lore because of all the books/comics and sites that hold extra information story and story but as someone who's only played through the mainline games, I had no idea it ran THIS deep. Its so Amazing! Insane job on this yo!!

I played Halo 1-4 and ODST, and I had forgot 80% of everything from those games. This was so fun re-experiencing all of that and going into the games I hadn't played. I need to restart this series and play it all the way through.

Forerunner-Flood War is one of the best additions to the Halo lore and universe imo

22:46 after slapping some tutorial covenant buttcheek😭😂 beautiful description🤣

I love the halo series and lore. One of my favorite questions raised through the whole series was whether Kathrine was right to initiate the Spartan 2 program. I love a good story that makes you think that both sides are right in their argument. What was done to the children in the S2 program was horrific, but without it, humanity most probably would not have survived.

“Give the Covenant back their bomb” one of my favorite moments in Halo lol

As a long time Halo lore fan I really appreciate the time taken for each of the fallen members of Noble team and especially Sergeant Johnson.

I first started playing halo at the age of 5 back in 2010, it feels really good just seeing some of the game play that brings back so much nostalgia and just hearing all the law behind it, thank you👊

Watching the first clip of doing the super jump unlocked some hidden feels man, it's something you couldn't explain unless you were there

Been over indulging Halo lore over the holiday - want to share my gratitude for the compilation you put together here. There's been an influx of these "everything to date" essays lately (not complaining) - but the way you interspersed relevant cut-scenes from multiple games, and screenshots from graphic novels really brought things together for me. I also really appreciate the tone of your commentary and pacing. Turning "100K years" into 1hr of content couldn't have been easy - but I'm so glad you decided to. Sub well earned!

Another banger! You’re officially my video game history professor.

Halo was one game that I couldn't get away with. But I knew that it had some deeper lore which I might like after seeing snippets and references around the Web. This was a detailed, informative and entertaining summary. Jam packed with lore, cross references and just enough dry wit to raise a wry smile or three. Thank you so much for creating this - it's clearly a passion project but that passion was the secret sauce that made it so engaging. Thank you so much for this, long may you continue to fight for humanity and keep us all safe! 👏👏👏

Thank you! As someone who never got into the campaigns until halo 3 - this has helped me make sense of it all more than anything.

One of the best scenes. 33:25 or so “I.. am.. TRUUUTH.. the voice of the covenant!” Arbiter - “and so… you must be silenced” *back stab*

The ending to infinite legit made me cry, the connection between chief and cortana is so strong that even through rampancy, being locked down, captured before her demise she still preserved that memory of what was good in her life, and that was John. She kept a copy of her for John to keep those good memories rolling. I'm off to grab tissues and assume the foetal position now.

I crack up every time you whisper "that's you" 😂

You got "Remember our heroes. Remember Reach." way literally. Thanks for the moments of respect and silence given to every single one of them (btw, beautiful edit and wonderful story telling, mate).

I just started playing halo and this was just what I needed 🙏

Actually the Orion program had 3 phases The first phase were the 5 that died a year later after getting the augmentation The second phase has 65 successfully augmentation orions And the third phase which johnson was apart of had at the end 165 members left that either retired or were re-assigned to different branches So 165 out of 300 members are alive by the beginning of the human-covenant war after that it unknown

Damn dog I'm only 45 seconds and my heart SKIPPED when you just tore that page out of the hardback Halo collection book

Excellent symmary in one hour. Just finishing yet another Halo CE to Infinite campaing binge, but now with 30 years of age being able to focus more deeply to the stroy and lore and not only grunts birthday parties. Every play through gives something new. And like Zeta Halos monitor said, raises even more questions. Thank you fot he video, great work.

I want to see an entire series about the Ancient Humans, I love the concept of Humans existing far beyond what we thought

I'm still sooooo upset about what they did to Jul. Multiple books and a lot of spartan OPs to set him up and give so much potential to his character just wasted in one of the first cutscenes of the game with little to no fanfare. I don't know how they would have tied him into the current storyline, but they just threw him away.

Ive watch this video maybe 5 times now and i just love it. Every detail, you clearly put a lot of work into. Thanks for this. This means a lot. From one Halo fan to another.

Thank you for taking the time and doing this video. This helps fill in the gaps for me. I've played all the games and only read some of the books. This was amazing, thanks again!

Out of all the Halo timelines I've watched (I've watched a lot of them), this was by far the simplest and easiest to understand and compiled in a way that respected Halo's story and lore. Good stuff my man, keep up the good work.

Sgt.Johnson’s death (in my opinion) was worse than the entire Noble Teams end Sgt.Johnson was so smart and it was sad to see him go...

Halo was such a big part of my childhood. Love the content, keep it coming!

I just started playing Halo for the 1st time. i know this game has a vast and interesting lore. So I'm glad i found this complete story of the franchise. Makes me want to delve deeper into the history. Thanks.

This is such a thrilling story... I'm really heartbroken from the halo tv series

Thank you for the tribute of noble team. Reach was such a great game

My favourite thing about this video is that its not like other videos, it tells you the lore but I love that its in a positive light and not like everyone else who disregards parts of the franchise

This was done so well! It really brought back alot of fond memories of playing halo since I was a kid. Thank you so much for making this! ❤❤

I grew up with this game as well. One of my friends older brothers was playing The Silent Cartographer mission on the OG Xbox back in 2004 and let me play. I didn't know anything about the lore, just enjoyed shooting aliens alongside marines. As I grew up and delved more into the lore I became more fascinated and at times overwhelmed by the story. Not many shooter games can captivate an entire console user base with the story and Halo does this better than anyone. There have been bumps in the road with the story, and that makes sense when you consider the shift in knowledge from Bungie to 343. Infinite seems to be a way to "rectify mistakes" and "make amends" like the message from Cortana states at the ending of the Halo infinite main story. She also mentions the "potential" she sees in Chief and The Weapon (who is really a copy of Cortana with some tweaks and changes) and I think that also refers to the potential we all see with infinite. I'm glad to see that the speculation of killing off chief was not real and although we miss Cortana I think we can all begin to foster a great relationship with the weapon, or whatever name she chooses for herself. I'm excited for the future. One day the Halo journey will end, perhaps decades from now when I'm old and gray. Until then I'm looking forward to seeing what the next steps in the story will be for Master Chief and his legacy.

Just so you know I've watched this maybe a dozen times and this is the reason I downloaded the MC Collection and got into Halo

Dude this was a work of art. Absolutely massive project, and you pulled it off perfectly. Huge respect ❤

I have never sat and watched an hour long video in my life up until today, loved every second of it

W 25:33 I don't know why this little sound effect sent me into an incredible cackling fit 😂. I just wanted to say I appreciate the love you put into this video. Every little bonus bit is definitely noticed by someone even if they don't post a comment to call it out like I did.

Been here since 01. It's been a crazy journey and yet through it all, my love for this vast universe has never once wavered, even through the chaotic days of 4 and 5. 343 did A LOT of soul searching before Infinite and my god I can honestly say they've hit their stride and brought back that magic and sense of wonder that made the original trilogy so loved. Infinite is addictively good and I'm scouring every inch of its open world to find as many Easter Eggs, cores, cosmetics and other fun nods to past games every chance I get! The DLC are gonna be just as good especially with the foundation they have built here. I feel like that 11 year old kid again in 01 and it's an amazing feeling to rediscover!

Great Summary! Never got to play, but followed all the RU-vids. This puts them all into order and perspective. Now to wait for the next one...

What a ride this series has been the first fps i ever loved, completely changing what an fps could be over 20 years ago now

I have the attention span of a goldfish and yet somehow you kept me enticed, although I’m sure the way you wrapped my entire childhood nostalgia into a very concise 1 hr video that was easily comprehensible had a lot to do with it, hats off to you this is one video I will share with my halo nerd friends.

It’s good to know that people share the same memories of halo halo has been with me my whole life and it’s just good to see it all together thank you

love halo lore videos, have watched them all and intended this to be a brush up but I actually learned from it a few things. great video, thanks

You boiled this down very well, I don’t think you could summarize it in any less time. 1 hour is impressive.

Hey Brother just wanted to tell you that I've watched a lot of Halo videos and this has to be the most entertaining and digestible video I've seen especially of a full breakdown of the history of Halo, you nailed it dude I've shared this video with most of my friends that are willing to even listen to it LOL keep them coming please!

Literally just spent an entire hour focusing on every word. 10/10 awesome. I actually caught up with the entire story something I thought I’d never see me do lol

This whole video and newfound understanding of the Halo universe/ timeline, has just made me internally overcome with joy. Growing up with Halo, always curious of the story behind it all and the deeper links from one to another. Now after coincidentally just beating Halo Wars 2 and Infinite I’m just stuck marveling at the magnificent depth and journey Halo is and has taken me. Thank you for bringing me to this new understanding, definitely a lifelong subscriber.

By far the most detailed and best built video, that provides a plethora of information in a short amount of time to watch I have seen. First video I have seen of your, and had to sign in to make sure I like and subscribe. I hope you someday add to this video (if you haven’t already. Thank you for raking so much time to put the pieces together for those who are new or haven’t played halo in a decade!

You did leave some stuff out, but overall, this is the most inclusive timeline I’ve ever found for Halo. So amazing job!

I’ve recently gotten into the Halo story after playing the previous games growing up, you explained the whole canon comprehensively and provided so many insights into the history of Halo!

Good job dude, clearly presented even with the dynamic storylines across spanning over a decade. Chief would be proud

Gotta love John Mayer’s playing at 13:09

Over the last month or so I’ve been going on a halo marathon, I started with Wars 1, Reach, CE, 2, ODST, 3, Spartan assault, 4, Spartan ops, spartan strike, halo 5, and now I’m in Wars 2, it’s been a grind but I feel like it’ll make Infinite’s campaign more amazing than it probably already is

This is the most complete story line for the games that i've seen, good job the effort was visible.

Thanks for all the love and hard work you put into this video… you saved me so much time from replaying all 6 games to remember what happened , but now I want to replay them anyways lol. Great video I give it a 117 out of 10… all around 😇

This was a lot, had to rewind a couple times just comprehend all of it. Fantastic job & thank you for your work.

Wow 😮 just wow … when I finished infinite I was a bit frustrated cos none of the story made sense to me … I felt I was just shooting enemies with no clear objective but to do so … man your video just made me feel excited with the whole franchise. Thanks a lot for your hard work ! The video is awesome, entertaining and clear. You got a new follower in here ! 🙌🏽

I appreciate the time you took to make this video. I grew up with Halo and and absolutely love the story. Nice to see a video explaining everything in detail

really want Red Team to reunite with Chief and Blue Team. also imagine the Endless being corrupted with the Flood. thats too damn op

I remember my first play through of Halo 4 when you get to the nuke. My heart stopped, I set the controller down and just reflected for a few minutes before I pulled the trigger to what I thought was the end of master chief.

Great video! Halo has a special place in my heart, too. Reach really got me hooked on the story. I have my own theories (hopes) for how things play out in the end. All of these years playing through the eyes of Chief and the countless journeys with Cortana it's impossible to not get attached to the characters.

Great video! Well put together. Being a long time Halo fan as well. It honestly is one of the best story lines ever told by humans.

this is the best one of these videos I have seen this explains so much about halo that other ones couldn't.

This was incredible thank you for creating this, sharing, such a great edit, narration and storytelling.

This was really well put together. Nice job! The lore is so interesting. Now I want to know where the story will go next

Chief didn't time travel he was kept in a energy state by the ring when telephoned and reassembled later. A sudo time travle if you will. The endless are definitely precursor related. The gramind has the knowledge of the precursors and it said "now I shall talk and you should listen." The harbinger said the exact same thing to a human in a recording with the EXACT same inflections. More over it spoke to a human and drove him mad. An ability that the primordial also posessed.

Great explanations! I personally love everything within reach/halo 3. The lore preceding reach is generally interesting in terms of world building. I think it’s a bit more thorough than the writers needed to make it but also cool. Story wise, everything Halo 4 onward is either repetitive or uninspired by comparison imo. I think Halo’s biggest narrative sin was not giving master chief closure to his story at the end of halo 3. I think in a perfect world, the new battles should have developed new protagonists. But I understand that it would have been very counter-intuitive to retire master chief as he became such an iconic character. So it wasn’t that big a deal he wasn’t given closure in halo 3.

This was an AMAZING video!!! It finally lets me appreciate the new trilogy. Thank you so much this was awesome.

So I don’t think The Endless can do time travel, rather I think they have the ability to manipulate time, like Time Dilation we see in real life where if you are next to a black hole you experience the passing of time differently than say someone on Earth. This isn’t time travel, because from a person observing both the being at earth and the one by the black hole time is passing all the same, but being experienced differently by those at those locations. So the Endless can probably control time by slowing it down in areas(like when Chief went through the portal) but can not actually travel through it. Just manipulate it, again, like how we see with the bending of space/time in our actual universe. This idea is also observed with slip space, nobody has actually traveled through time, they just passed through it differently, after all we move through time, time doesn’t move through us. This is why I think Halo won’t do the whole time travel thing because it causes a mess of story telling and that’s the last thing 343 needs, it’s also the most basic trope in all of sci-if. Halo tends to stay grounded in its sci-fi ideas and time manipulation can be grasped and handled easily. Full blown time travel is just bad, I can already see the mess it will cause. Like Chief going back in time to see another Master Chief. Then it’s like why aren’t we playing as that Master Chief or the millions of other Master Chiefs now then you have never ending branching of timelines and … well it’s just horrible to keep characters grounded at that point. It’s just an opinion though, if they do time travel I hope they make sense of it. Not a cluster of a mess like it always ends up being. Also, amazing video. Halo is just an amazing universe to be able to enjoy. Hope you have more videos like this.

Welp, that was a lot to take in! hahaha Awsome job as always, whenever we start to think you achieved your prime, you just keep raising the bar every time. Thank you for all this work, hope the next one comes soon! Cheers!

I've just finished watching Season two I ve never played the games I was so confused but the first ten minutes of this video has bought so much To light

Great work, mate. Really enjoyed this video over the last few days. I look forward to seeing more of your content. 🍻

Fully replaying the entire franchise now, have touched it in years!

You did an extraordinary job on this video I am OG Halo veteran. And watching it all be reaped in so much detail was very nice to see. Thankyou

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

This was incredibly interesting. Awesome job on the video you really laid it out in an easy to understand way.

I loved Kurt! His ending is one of the best

The complete story of the Halo Universe, *IN EXACTLY ONE HOUR*

this is literally the best Halo lore video ive seen. Its actually watchable and doesnt bore me to death! Idc if this is a year old, i like it!

This is the best all-in-one explanation I’ve ever heard! 👌

This is a beautiful presentation! Well choreographed. Great for first time Halo fans

Really well done ! That moment where you show HALO and ODST lining up.. chefs kiss on the editing

As someone just getting into the Halo world, this is an awesome video. Thank you!
