For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten.
When you're an adult and remember the good times playing Halo at its peak, not worrying about a job or bills, just being able to enjoy a kickass game with friends.
Bro for real man, when life was simple. Its crazy because im 31 now and I have a career and im doing well. I could easily buy a bunch of video games. But somehow I don't have the ability to go back and just be that simplistically happy anymore. It honestly makes me sorrowful. So i just reminisce on those old times, because i cant relive them.
Honestly, the world was different then. I was 19,.on my own, doing all the adulting stuff on launch...even with those responsibilities, it was still such a different, carefree time.
@Dreadnott117 Same dude, my mother picked up my Lengendary reservation while I was in Army IET, picked it up spring '08 and sat down by myself and played it through in front of a massive TV on a surprise day off. Those times were simpler and we hadn't succumbed to expectations yet...
@user-ze3sg6ix1u I feel that brother. All we can do now is Adult well enough so we can have momments of not adulting and feel truly happy like we did when we were younger
@gokuthatmadethebeat bro I don't understand why people like you say this, I was obsessed with it before it ever came out seeing pictures of it and learning that it was going to be one of those sad prequel stories where you know they're going to all die and you try not to get emotionally invested in them but it happens anyways. And after it came out and I played it I was in love with it, it's so fucking good and there was never any doubt in my mind about it
Bro 🥹🥹 seriously my last time I was online was in 2011 and I vanished from online halo because I couldn’t afford it! So now I just listen to the sound track and reminisce
@@RND3YTkinda ironic the fates of Noble team tbh: Jorge who has a connection to Reach, dies in space Kat the brains of the op, gets nailed in the head Carter the leader, goes down with the (drop)ship Emile the cq + melee guy, gets stabbed Jun who stays behind, survives
I wonder if Jun ever has PTSD moments like this where his brain freaks out because it remembers all his family are dead. The soldiers who he once knew merely as soldiers who become friends, then a family. Gone. All without him. Kat was the only firsthand death he saw. Jorge, Carter, Emile, Six. He never saw them. They were gone. Without any warning, without any hesitation. Poof. They vanished from his existence. He'd never see them again. Not even a grave for them. Not their armor. Nothing. He trained Spartans for the rest of his years. Seeing new teams formed. New families born. All reminding him that he had lost his. His only reassurance was knowing that they died for the greater good.
I would love to see a short comic purely about this. Having younger spartans thinking they are gonna be invincible and not realizing that they are in for a blood bath and jun telling them the horrific battle Reach was. Could even be a panel of a small team with similar armor colors or helms that make him have a flashback.
As someone who never got to experience the multiplayer. This hurts. Really hurts. All the friend I had don't play games. But hey! The campaigns are amazing. Especially the second game.
Brings me back to senior year of high-school when halo 3 first came out. Man did me and all my friends have an absolute blast playing online with each other. 16 years later and all i see on my friends list is online 99+ days ago...
Never Forget is the most bittersweet piece ever composed for Halo. When I was 8 and started my Halo experience with Halo 3, I’d sit on the menu screens for hours just listening to Never Forget and Movement over and over again, and Never Forget always gave me a sense of remembering for something I hadn’t even experienced yet. I felt longing for things I’d never seen nor felt. As I grew up, I played all the games and loved every one of them to bits, but hearing Never Forget now… it’s different. It takes me right back to 8 years old, that same nostalgic feeling, but with the new memories made, the weight of it was increased tenfold. And now seeing the current state of Halo, the shell of its former self that it’s become… it means more to me now. I truly will Never Forget the saga that gave me the best story I’ve ever experienced, because now, the memories are all I have left of a time no longer my own.
It was kinda sad, but it’s even worse to look at when you think about what the ending originally was. Originally, Cortana wasn’t gonna go crazy and then die. Her and Chief both were just gonna be adrift in space, waiting for the next time the galaxy needed a pair of tireless heroes of godlike power to save it. I like that honestly, leaving Halo open-ended lets you speculate more, dream on what its story could turn into later.
Hits me every time. One of the few things that kinda pisses me off about Halo MCC, since it doesnt have any of the menu themes of the original games. At least, I don't remember hearing this bit
Noble team literally died as they lived… Jorge (Heavy and explosive expert): Went out with the biggest bang Kat (tactician): had a head too big for her shoulders and got popped Jun (Recon and long range expert): Was never seen again (On Reach) Carter (The Leader): Went out giving his last orders Emile (CQC expert): Killed 4 Elites with his bare hands while sitting in a chair before getting killed himself. 6 (The Lone Wolf): Faced the oncoming hoard alone
“Die..? Didn’t you know? Spartans never die.” -Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose, November 3rd, 2552; seconds before detonating a tactical nuclear device.
This is how I imagine us who grew up on halo, and especially halo 3, will be if we ever have dementia and hear a beautiful halo melody. Flooding us with memories we forgot we had.
Truth is Halo will never be like it was, but that’s okay. What we got was special, those amazing memories with the old Bungie games will never be forgotten or replaced. Halo’s not what it used to be but it will always have a place in my heart.
I was once a scared little man never knowing what i was doing until i gave up Now ive grown into the future and faced my fears as a man over the years halo has never left my childhood and God forbid anyone ever takes it away This music makes me sit in the main menu before even starting and you all know the music just takes you away before you even blink.
The halo servers are just dust and echos. We're all thats left. We did what we had to do, for Earth, humanity. An entire Covenant armada. The flood.......
halo 3 was the game of the century. Thank god we had bungi back then. I now quote Lord hood from the end of Halo 3. "For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. And let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, an unshakeable conviction that their fight... our fight... was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They will a part of all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."
I want somebody to do a clone wars montage honoring the clones that fought and died for the Republic only to be discarded and replaced at the end with never forget playing!
For us the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who ventured into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure, an unshakable conviction that their fight, our fight, was elsewhere. As we begin to rebuild, this hill side will remain barren; a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us and they shall not be forgotten.
I remember me and my fire team were on of the first thrown on the front lines, the covenant pushing against us hard, unrelenting, we were on that battlefield for what seemed like days…one by one our numbers dwindled each passing hitting hard than the last fueling our fight more and more until it was just me and my brother making a stand as our forces were thinning against the covenant plasma technology….until it was just me, my brother no longer fighting by my side…I was all alone…still holding out his death was the last to make me give into the burning hate, remembering all them each and every single one that fought by my side that day…. Then my mom told me to get off the Xbox
