I always like how SODAZ gives variance to all the soldiers in his animations, pretty much every individual has different equipment. Grunts use different masks, UNSC troops sometimes have pouches or backpacks, etc.
Also remember to thank the people who made the models! As someone who's played Gmod for ages, all these models were made by people other than SODAZ, primarily for roleplay :)
Gotta love how it depicts the Spartans as anchoring the line, while the ODSTs getting things done. ODSTs are like the best soldiers humanity has along the Spartans, so it's great to see them in good light.
In the games, whenever there's a Spartan on the field all other soldiers just become one shot expendable ragdolls... I love how SODAZ shows Spartans, ODSTs and Marines actually complementing each other according to their strengths and weaknesses...
Absolutely beautiful. There's nothing wrong here, it honors the game universe and fans both. Those ODST are especially fantastic, utterly professional and skilled. I need to follow this closely.
Maybe someone could make a mod for Star Wars: Republic Commando to make you feel like an ODST, with model swaps, new voice lines and other stuff. The last bit with ODSTs kinda reminded me of the Republic Commando.
@@mudkipmudkopilis1989 I always imagined the ODSTs would behave like the Recon Marines in Generation Kill would; entitled goofy assholes who are extremely professional at what they do, and are loyal and dedicated without any second thought. I don't think 343 would do them justice because a game about ODSTs would be nothing but constantly repulsive but hilarious alpha aggression and profanity--watch any video about infantry/SOF guys in a room together and that should be what it's like
I love how even the grunts of all enemies are portrayed with backbone in this scene, sure most of them might die the first day on the job but there's gotta be at least a few that have lived long enough to know what they are doing.
I like how this is more favorable than the multi million dollar adaptation of halo from paramount. Anyways keep up the great work love to see these epic battle scenes.
@@zippolighter4903 The one thing that makes me hopeful is that the series made Paramount and Microsoft a lot of money. Even if it sucks, the $ might motivate Microsoft to green light other film projects with a high budget and makers who actually care about Halo.
@@captainuseless2120 Hopefully. Imagine having a production team knowing and caring about Halo rather than a staff that intentionally ignores the games
The amount of screen time for the ODSTS might imply Sodaz’s fondness for them. And I’m not complaining. I mean how can you not love future tech paratroopers that are nicknamed *Helljumpers*?
And not just the "oomph" behind the weapons, even the way the Spartans are animated depicts how *heavy* the MJOLNIR armour is while still showing how mobile they are while wearing it.
A huge part of it is the sound design. I honestly don't think I've seen sound done this well even in a lot of movies. Combined with his animation quality, it's absolutely stunning
I really love those subtle details like in 0:51 when the spartans hugged the barricade just a little tighter to not get hit by the incoming shots from above. Gives it a lot more realism and tactical thought behind it. I really wanna know, when the finisished product comes out, how long this entire animation took to make.
Very good use of assets. The spartans are holding off the bulk of the Covenant as the ODST goes in and do ... whatever their tasks is. I am sure the same job could of been done with a spartan or 2 but that would require more than 4 ODST to hold off the Covenant.
The shot where the odsts shoot out the light after activating visr mode….. perfect. You clearly have a good eye for using your environment in storytelling
Your animations are a gift we don't deserve, thank you so much Reach and ODST are my favorite halo games, and these animations both scratch a certain itch for me so much.
0:37 - poor guy! Being overrun by humans, seeing his friends die, raising his weapon with his last breath, only for it to be futile… A fallen hero, a real fallen hero.
I dont wanna nerd out, but lore wise only spec op grunts and ultra grunts are seen wielding plasma rifles as opposed to lowly majors and minors who only have plasma pistols and needlers at best but for the sake of animation it looks magnificent
I love how the spartans and ODST'S act like professional soldiers, how we manage to get somewhat of a first person with the ODST'S (and I hope we also get that with the spartans if possible) and the animation is the cherry on top as well I mean this is AMAZING keep up the good work SODAZ
another example of the fact that fans know best. 343 could learn a thing or two from you with your quality animation and overall passion as its clearly displayed in your work. hope to see more from you.😊
0:36 notice how the last grunt to try and further resist the ODSTs is a Special Operations Grunt. In lore they were known to be fierce, well trained, well equipped and experienced troops who were even respected by the Sangheili. It makes total sense that out of the Grunt Major, Grunt Ultra and Grunt Spec ops that we saw that the Spec ops was the most likely to continue to resist. It's the little details that SODAZ adds that really flesh out his stories.
Those little grunts just lighting up the dark hallway is one of the most realistic things yet. You don't just stand there waiting for something to pop up when someone shoots the light dangling above your freshly ventilated buddies.
I love all of this the mix of halo reach, 3 and ODST, everything down to a t excellent work with the spartans, marines and the odst, the space scenes are what we wish we saw in halo and the mix of covenant forces is amazing 👏🏿
Awesome. Polite suggestion 😁, you can hyper up those ODST's and even your Spartans by having them not run down the middle of hallways but rather have them move in bounds which one - helps with the fatal funnel problem as you always have muzzles pointed down the hallways and thereby an instant ability to engage if the other guys are still going through their bounding. Two - you can have the ODST pie rooms up when they clear them. Three - when transitioning into a corridor, you can have one ODST position himself with his barrel just passing the corner of the corridor and that way the ODST presents the smallest target for the enemy to aim it whilst he is still able to bring full weight of fire from his own weapon onto the enemy and still be in good cover. There's actually tonnes of good videos on some of these basics so you can see them for yourself and it would put the great quality of your videos into overdrive 😎👍🏻. Looking forward to the next part!! 😁 Edit: How sweet would it have been to use an underslung grenade launcher right here 0:48 when the phantom went stationary. Would have killed most of the enemy occupants and badly fragged any who managed to survive. 💥
@@pureaccuracy874 Not when there isn't any line of sight they don't. And no one is going to point the muzzle in the direction of the target (i.e. held upright and pointed naturally at the target without undue physical effort), achieve proper sight alignment (although implanted chips helps them achieve this faster and also interface with HUD) and then squeeze the trigger to release the shot and follow through for them without disturbing the position; thus the fundamentals still apply.
I love how all the weapons sound do powerful. The plasma weapons in the games and other media always sounded so anemic but here they sound impactful and dangerous. Well done :3
Was rewatching what you've gotten done up 'till this point just the other day, wondering when I'd finally get to see this fight finished, glad to see another part not only being done so soon, but so masterfully, as always
I wish this was a halo series, you really feel the tension in the battle. Its really awesome seeing marines and ODSTs holding their own in a fight. Fantastic work!
Man this is the stuff right here. We need more of this. At this point SODAZ could create an entire HALO movie and I'd pay to watch it just to support him making more.
BROOO the odst's taking out those 2 grunts, then the light, omfg. And then the last 3 grunts just opened fire no questions. Brilliant work man keep it up!
i love that after those odsts killed those first two grunts in the hallway that they shot that light. just a little detail that i for some reason adore
Story progression with hardly a word needing to be spoken between hardened soldiers, this is just getting more amazing as more time progresses. So hyped to see what's next leading up to the full uncut project
Bro these are beautiful and I’m super excited too see what comes next! Also I love the subtle detail of the odst shooting out the light it was freaking amazing!! Keep it up!!
Amazing work, cant wait to see the whole thing! Also love to see that some grunts have an elite looking out for them, even if they probably did beat the ground in embarrassment thinking they were unworthy of a plasma rifle
I had to go back and watch the others first. This story your telling and the animation itself is great. You are giving to the community what paramount could not. Keep up the wonderful work man :)
How hard was it to get a badass show like this, instead we got master chief walking aimlessly around "Reach city" getting in his feelings the whole entire show
This shit is edge of your seat fire 🔥 dude the ODSTs visor mode and the sprint around the corner in first person. I loved the detail you put into the scenes . The tenacity and coordination to fight a superior force. Your really good at this style of storytelling, the dialogue is sparse but meaningful . I’m so anxious to see the next clip .
Can I just say I love the tactics employed by the Spartans and ODST's in this, more to the point its so refreshing to see them together in a cohesive unit that is actually effective and plays off both branches strengths. In the lore we are always given that the Spartans and ODST's are the bitterest of rivals who only begrudgingly work together when a mission might call for it but here they really work so well, its a shame we didnt see them used more like this.

That ODST section is immaculate. You continue to exceed my already extremely high expectations man
Don’t click on R 2 H’s link it’s a spam bot.
But yeah the ODST section was my favorite part as well.
I always cherish my ODSTs 😁
That was exactly how i expect the Helljumpers to operate. I absolute love this
Yeah i freakin scream when i see ODST
I've run the ODST gear ever since they gave us the option.
The Halo series we don't deserve but we needed
We do deserve though we have been fucked in the ass for the longest time now shit 4 3
I think we deserve a good halo series at this point
you are both VERY wrong and right.
Honestly I feel we deserve it
Speak for yourself
Who knew that watching ODSTs sprinting through a dark hallway could be so cool
As seen in H3: ODST, even an ODST taking a nap is cool!
Hallway scenes are always badass
who didn't know that
I always like how SODAZ gives variance to all the soldiers in his animations, pretty much every individual has different equipment.
Grunts use different masks, UNSC troops sometimes have pouches or backpacks, etc.

@@Blexg How you imagine ODSTs to be is completely accurate to how they are in lore.
@@mudkipmudkopilis1989 Just play Ready or Not and install the ODST mod.
im just annoyed that everything has to have the reach armor in it... if that didnt break canon, which it does, it would s till be old and outdated.

Well some of them got to be lucky to survive long enough to gain experience
Small details like the ODSTs shooting out the lights to give them the advantage of the dark really make a huge impact. Really excellent work!

Honestly. If only we had this kind of combat in a series with a well written story, damn it, that could be so amazing.

Nice! Way to make the ODST the bad asses they truly are, hard to do that while still showing the differences between them and Spartans
amazing as ever, to be honest better than most of the halo stuff I’ve seen, keep up the amazing work mate
The amount of screen time for the ODSTS might imply Sodaz’s fondness for them. And I’m not complaining. I mean how can you not love future tech paratroopers that are nicknamed *Helljumpers*?
"Welcome to the Bullfrogs"
Hell, even the Sierra in white is wearing their helmet. Which, for those who don't already know, was originally developed for the Mjolnir program.
@@Blue-Gold_Crusader it looks like her entire armor setup is a straight-up ODST build - it's only missing the GUNGNIR knee pads.
You can really feel the weight and power of those weapons.
That's my favorite part about his animations, the weighty feeling to all the movements and weapons.
And not just the "oomph" behind the weapons, even the way the Spartans are animated depicts how *heavy* the MJOLNIR armour is while still showing how mobile they are while wearing it.
A huge part of it is the sound design. I honestly don't think I've seen sound done this well even in a lot of movies. Combined with his animation quality, it's absolutely stunning

I don’t have any experience with 3-D animation but I get the distinct impression that this person has a fantastic work ethic.
Seriously you make the ODSTs look so fierce like they are supposed to be!
За такой талант даже лайка мало будет
Imagine the lights keep getting shot out, no sounds what so ever. As the grunts shoot into the darkness, the silhouettes of the ODSTs grow closer.
The worst part of this video is when it ends, I NEED MOAR!
항상 보고 있는데 진짜 최고입니다. 좋은 퀄리티의 영상 제작 언제나 감사합니다. 건강하시고 힘내세요!

Your visualization of team movement and tactics with ODST is immaculate. Keep up the good work.
I like how the grunts are using more than plasma pistols, they're using plasma rifles as well, nice little detail and a good variation!
Its neat seeing them not only use plasma pistols and needlers
Also funny how most have unique color schemes on their armor lol
I dont wanna nerd out, but lore wise only spec op grunts and ultra grunts are seen wielding plasma rifles as opposed to lowly majors and minors who only have plasma pistols and needlers at best but for the sake of animation it looks magnificent
Paramount should have given the 90 million halo tv budget to this guy..........
And no need for voice actors!
SODAZ tells all the story with pure action!
I love how the spartans and ODST'S act like professional soldiers, how we manage to get somewhat of a first person with the ODST'S (and I hope we also get that with the spartans if possible) and the animation is the cherry on top as well I mean this is AMAZING keep up the good work SODAZ
When they start dropping grunts in with plasma rifles is when you *know* bad things are about to happen
another example of the fact that fans know best. 343 could learn a thing or two from you with your quality animation and overall passion as its clearly displayed in your work. hope to see more from you.😊
The movement, the sounds. If feels real! God damnit man you’re doing one hell of a job and if gets better every month!
i love that the covenant still speaks in their native language rather than in english

You are an amazing animator and an inspiration for people to do so much more with the medium. Great job.
I really like how we see the ODST's activate their VISR
I loved the part when the Heavy Jungle Drums music played… you could tell the spartan was gonna head shoot a lot of aliens
Thank you so much for displaying the odst as the elite troops they are in lore.

I'm not even a Halo-Fan but even I got pumpedup by these scenes.
no ads, no flaws. you should be proud man, this is art.
Me: I've never liked HALO
Sodaz: *Animates HALO*
Me: I'm something of a HALO fan myself
I love the way the ODSTs moved through the hall way it was very tactical.
Damn, love the ODST action!:)
Amazing work as always mate. Keep up the great talent and keep being amazing
Movement is super fluid I like the camera shake makes the energy weapons look more powerful than they feel in game
The odst scene is so good, when he shoots the light out gave me chills.
Amazing work, cant wait to see the whole thing!
Also love to see that some grunts have an elite looking out for them, even if they probably did beat the ground in embarrassment thinking they were unworthy of a plasma rifle
Damn please give this man $100 million dollars and let him make the Halo movie we all deserve!!!!
This is peak RUclips content, I love this channel. It fulfills all my childish desires to see these badass characters in such clean animation.

This is it. This is what we wanted the TV series to be. Literally.
0:42 SODAZ in the bottom right
Better then the entire "Halo" tv show
Something about those 3 remaining grunts looked so badass XD
I don't know, maybe it's the way you shot it and animated looked, again, badass.
That Spec-Ops grunt at the end gets his armour swapped to orange when he lands.
Dude, 0:23 is SO clean. Phenomenal work
this is a better interpretation of halo than 343 could ever do ever. EVER do. this is a quantum leap of superiority that 343 could never touch.
My mans sodaz was first out preforming gws productions and is now out performing both 343 and paramount. He just don’t miss.
These videos really do make the hair stand up and gives me excited chills
I love how weighty the guns, grenades, and Spartans sound
Give this man a huge budget and 100% creative control
Spartans fighting alongside ODSTs is truly a wonder to behold!
