Since so many people keep asking - YES, Episode 2 is in development. However we're focusing on Noble 6: Ghost of Reach right now. We love Jeta Team and intend to tell their story, even all these years later! Buy me a coffee to see more!☕ www.patreon.com/LightFire
I can't wait I remember when you first made this episode and how blown away by the quality of work you put into it can't wait to see where you take this amazing story. Keep up the good work
Thank god I thought it was forgotten tbh but seeing you come back to animation gave me hope, but then nothing for so long... I'm just glad to hear your still working on it. Would love updates as you have them!
We'll explain more this in our live stream and q&a (coming sometime fairly soon) - but we're really determined to express the true lore of Halo (including the lethality of the Covenant, and plasma!)
I like how this series focuses on the self sacrifice mentality of the Spartan III's. They were created to be cheaper spartans, but they gave more than what anyone would have thought in the human-covenant war. Great series keep it up
SIII's are so underhyped by the halo community it's not funny and makes me sad. They get put under SII's a lot and people talk about how they're expendable and not as good as the II's which really isn't the case. Only if people read the books more.
After reading Halo: The Fall of Reach, there was no mention of the Spartan III program existing yet. In fact, the Spartan IIs only just got their official mjolnir armor basically right before the planet got glassed.
"Spoiler" The Death felt like a real reach death, gritty, unfair, unglamours, and without hessitation...Real... I had to replay what just happened to comprehend it. Well done
I love the concept of the survivors of glassing a planet. it has never really been talked about or explained. for example forgot which halo book but a dude is the only survivor on his planet and starts a black market trading with jackals. love how it looks good job dude.
Halo First Strike has a considerable amount of spartans on Reach after glassing - which we're using heavily for reference and a foundation for now and later! Thanks man!!
Legacy of Onyx focuses on Molly Patel, who survived a glassing. She was rescued from a tunnel by Sgt. Johnson and (in the book) lives in Onyx with her adoptive parents. EDIT: The book @TheRookie was referencing is the Kilo Five Trilogy, where Staffan Sentzke escaped Sansa.
I was writing a small story about a girl and her dog who survived reach, later she ends up on earth and has some downtime until the events of halo 2 take place, from that point on she experiences most of the events that occur during the main games with the story ending after she escapes the flood infection of voi along with a group of elites and ODSTs that came to evacuate people.
@garylococo2401 l disagree Gary, l enjoyed the Halo TV series but then I'm new to Halo and admittedly don't know much about the lore behind the franchise! Anyhoo best wishes dude 👍
@@NorthernMouse52 your analogy is the same as never seeing a lion ever and a movie about lions just have tigers in it and everyone says this lion movie was trash and yiur like well I've known much about lions but they looked great in it
You said you wanted to make this series accurate to the lore and to show how deadly the Covenant and their plasma was... Holy shit you did not disappoint. That Hunter's fuel rod was not a direct hit and it doesn't matter. Those things are DEVASTATING. Props to you guys. Major props. This took me right back to The Fall of Reach book.
Actually what the Hunter fired (the last shot) was a new weapon not seen in canon, in Episode 2 we'll learn more about it's effects, and what condition Sam is now in. Thanks for the kind words :D
Okay, I've just finished watching all your Halo: Lost Wolves content and dude... you're a genius. Literally gave me goose bumps. I always thought and dreamt about what could have possibly happened to those Spartans left behind on Reach. I even went as far as to create my own team. There was just something so daunting, so despairing and intriguing about their fate, about injured and hopeless Spartans left behind, struggling to escape off the planet before it was glassed. About all those they lost in their mission and the agony of knowing that for all their efforts and sacrifice, Reach was lost. It appealed to me in a way that only something Halo really could. It inspired me to write a story of my own spartan team, and how they fought, bloody and broken and grief-ridden, to get off the planet they were supposed to protect. Abandoned. Stranded. Alone. And surrounded by the enemy. But I never actually got to release it, to get it out there. So seeing you, a fellow Halo fan, creating something so amazing and creative as this... I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel this day. It gives me hope. My spartan heart has never been prouder to be apart of this community. You can rest assured knowing that wherever this journey takes us, I'll be watching with pride along the way.
Isn’t crazy how a piece of an art can inspire so much creativity and love within a person which turns into something tangible and worth something. All of you! Incredible job!
@@The_Sly_Potato I don't want them to find any of the Noble team, including Noble 6, because the whole point of Halo Reach was to show that they were willing to die for the human race. If any of the Noble Team survived, I feel as if it would make the story seem less impossible and dire.
@@mynameisbrigham You're wrong, Noble 3 (Jun-A266) survived, escaped Reach and helped start the Spartan IV program and accompanied it on the Infinity. And there is a very slight chance that Noble 6 is just MIA. We never saw him die in that specific situation. He most probably didn't survive and escape Reach, but he could have survived longer than that cutscene leads us to think (even if it's just a few days or weeks).
It's been a year since the first episode, and I'm now wondering if Episode 2 will ever come true, because when it does, I'm paying this man! This awoken my Halo Reach craving once again I felt like I was finally getting the sequel I've wanted! And I can honestly say that it feels amazing!! Thank you for this HF, you're an incredibly important member of the Halo community!
This team of SPARTAN-IIIs have more military bearing and discipline than the atrocious SPARTAN-IVs. Great job on depicting the proper behavior of SPARTAN-IIIs.
Spartan IV’s are the most human out of all the Spartans. They had a choice, they retained the same personalities they had pre augmentation. They just aren’t on the same level as the Spartan II’s and III’s. The Spartan II’s had a huge chunk of their humanity robbed from them from an early age, and age too early for them to realize what was lost which many of them have come to terms with(not to mention they had no say and were kidnapped young children,) and Spartan III’s had a sense of duty and self sacrifice that went above and beyond what was initially expected of them. Spartan IV’s are just regular soldiers that went through less severe augmentations and that’s fine. Some Spartan IV’s, especially those who understand what the other Spartan generations had to go through, definitely have discipline and deserve the title of Spartan. But the Spartan IV’s in halo 4 sucked except that one guy, Thorne I think? Yeah Thorne is one of those Spartan IV’s that should’ve been a III or II. But the Spartan team we saw in Halo 4 was an embarrassment to Jun who most likely helped train them.
Holy crap that was good... I thought it cruel but cinematically perfect to play the fall of Nobel Team, but then to kill someone in the way that it happened... So gritty and unfair, that is Reach. It was Beautiful.
I was wrong about you Chris I used to see you in a negative light and lately i've seen that it was wrong for me to do that I apologize if I hurt you in any of my previous comments on your channel you're a very dedicated Halo fan and you deserve all the great things that you've received and the things that you'll keep receiving in the future. I was another stupid sheep riding the Halofollower hate train and I regret jumping on that train. (P.S you and your team did an amazing job with this animation, the amount of violence in this really shows off how brutal the covenant actually was during the human-covenant war.)
I love that someone has done something with this games potential. Halo hasn't received an actually decent show or movie even though it has such substance for it. This is simply amazing and knowing some people that really enjoy the series, not people that make TV shows with big companies with agendas is great. This looks great and I hope it keeps going well for you because I've wanted something like this (probably like many others) for years. Thank you.
I swear on Reach's skies and Harvest's militia, you should continue this, I love every part of it, the suddenness of death, etc... Good job, 10/10. You should continue this; Remember Reach.
Hey I've just launched HaloFollower's FIRST EVER public discord (under the studio name of LightFire). Come chill with the team and I on the growing server :) discord.gg/9mhEF3Z Also big shoutout to Jack Hahn who was the Lead Screenwriter in this episode! Check him out here: ruclips.net/user/LambdaMachinima
Amazing episode, it made me feel the same sadness seeing the Spartans dying which is what I felt during Halo Reach, hope the series goes well and good day to you. Remember Reach...
This was beyond great. Remember reach. I'm not crying. Your crying. The reach music and feel. What a punch to the gut. What an ending. Can't wait for the next episode. Keep it coming. As Emile says I'm ready!!!!!! How bout you!!!!!!
Noble Team, this will be our hardest mission yet. What's the mission Noble Leader? Don't say too many lines from our game. It's hard but we have to do it.
This episode depicted just how terrifying the covenant can be. What a great production. Everyone on the team did great in making this episode better than the last. Keep it up! You've hooked quite a number of people.
I was really hoping this was a series I was late to seeing so I could binge watch all the other episodes after this one. Amazing story, Bravo. I loved this and will be anxiously waiting for the next episodes in the line up. Thank you for the great story and animation! 🙂
I’ve seen almost every halo remake that people have done because we all love halo and this is by far my most favorite now and I can’t wait to see this grow and blow up across the gaming community I have an extraordinary feeling this is going to be an amazing series 😆😆😆😆
This was an actual privilege to watch... this stuff if the most badass thing you could ever watch amazing job with this please make more then 10 episodes I’ll watch every single one that ever comes out. Thank you for this experience good work on this
Love this some much, so much effort went into this, this is way better than than the paramount tv show they made. keep up the great work this is unbelievable how good this is.
When independent creators make a halo story that has more emotion and passion, than the entire production team of 343, and the millions spent on Halo 5 is just crazy 🔥🔥
I liked it My major problem now was worried about, was that With the series that the Spartans would show too much emotion, not that I have a problem with that I just feel, Spartans are trained to be war machines, I feel that they’re emotions are press out or beat out of them, That way they become cold blooded killing machines, But I have to say the way they handled the emotions in relationships between these Spartans were handled very well. Good job to whoever wrote the script.
You're thinking spartan 2's like Chief and Jeorge. Spartan 3's are a bit more emotional, like Emile's obvious anger issues and Kat's and Jun's sarcasm. Still a far cry better than spartan 4's who are a bunch of over glorified emo kids
@@thomasboland540 buck was an odst, he's badass enough that taking Spartan 4 was simply just a pay raise for doing the same amount of ass kicking lmao Vale I'll give a pass since she actually thought for herself rather than "uh ma gawd, we gotta arrest a war hero" I'm looking at you Locke!
@Jared Kristian no doubt they played a massive part in the war, but it's kinda like how, for examples sake, 343 handled Chief. In the original trilogy he was a badass, his methods were unorthodox and the only way it could be explained was just simple luck. Then you go into 4 and 5 and suddenly he takes a more in depth turn that didn't exactly better him as a character. Honestly if they took the concept and made them interesting, I'd be all for the spartan IVs they're really cool! But their personalities are definitely not up to snuff from what you'd expect from a Spartan
Choreography, voice acting, writing, and visuals are superb. This series is going somewhere even greater as time goes on. The production team should get funded by 343.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for putting your time, your heart and your money into this project. I've done animation and MC work before and I know the tremendous amount of dedication this episode displays. You guys are wonderful and this is awesome.
Damn this was fantastic. The fights look really smooth and this is a really interesting place/time to set the story. Not crazy about the flash forward at the start, but that's more a personal bias. Some of the non-combat animations are still a bit spastic, but it looks a lot better than the pilot in that regard (and that was already really cool); a lot of improvement in a short time. Sign me up, I can't wait to see where this train is heading!
The voice acting, the scripting, the animation it all feels so real and relatable, THE BEST fanimation I've ever seen for anything! Fantastic job guys unreal!
I am going to be completely honest, the part where the brutes were either eating or ripping apart the spartan limb from limb made me shocked and hate them even more now, but I love it because it seems exactly what brutes would do to those they have killed. I have played halo since halo combat evolved and still love it to this day. Love the video and hope to see more in the future. I also love how far you are going into the concept of how reach was before and after from other spartans point of view, this is making me get flashbacks to when I first played reach when it came out with my brother and father.
Honestly can't wait for more. This series has so much potential. I hope it gets to the same level of love and fame as other fanworks like RvB, cause this is golden.
I haven't been watching you as much as I used to Chris but you started my love for halo lore and getting into the nitty gritty I never left after all that drama you suffered from but man your amazing I wish I had more time to dedicate myself to stuff like I used to have
wow this was amazing! voice acting was done really well and the story is off to a good start! i did not expect his head to get cut off! if i was to offer any criticism, it would be that the weapons phase into the chest armor when they are held a certain way and the resolution seems to be a little low especially during quick moving scenes
Hey, this was really cool, great job! I’m sure it was a considerable amount of work to put together. You obviously have a talented team. I’m looking forward to more and I’ll be tuning in for the following episodes! My only critique is that I had a tough time telling the Spartans apart (other than Emma). Their voices and armor (perhaps combined with the dark lighting of the scenes, which all looked great, btw) were just a little too similar. Awesome work.
Please make this a serious series and don't stop! Maybe if this keeps up, people won't stop remembering Reach and they'll keep it alive, never leaving it behind!
9:46 to 10:16 is a beautiful homage to the cinematography of Halo Reach’s cutscenes. they used a lot of visceral camera effects, like frequent zoom ins/outs and landscape portraits. it invokes the feeling of immersion (imo). the fade transition is also a beautiful touch. the entire episode is shot tremendously well though that sequence stuck to me. this might just be a preference thing but one tip i’d give is, involve the camera less in the actual action, and pull it back a bit to show the sequence unfold infront of the audience. more so, paint the set piece and use the the entire frame to make a moment for a couple seconds. anyways that’s more nitpicky of me, i fucking loved the episode and i can’t wait for more, been here since your coverage of halo 4 💪🏼🙌🏼
Absolutely gold,1000x better than the actual show and then some.I also enjoy how you apply actual armour physics to the Spartans except maybe for the clipping,but still amazing and I will gladly support!
You guys all did such a wonderful job recapturing the magic I felt at 11 playing reach for the very first time. Seeing cutscenes from reach and seeing both the fan made/ and bungie storylines sort of intertwining is spot on. I look forward to seeing more from this series in the future!
Dude, that was awesome, all it took was this one episode to love this and get me excited, I love the characters, I’m so far loving the story, and you already made me feel heartbroken after that death. 10/10 -CRNA Gaming
Bro. This is so good, why didn't paramount do something like this? Please tell me there's more coming, with so much crap happening with halo recently, this series is fantastic
Dude, seeing the second hunter just obliterate both of those Spartans by itself. Being a massive fan of Hunters, this brings a smile to my face. This also shows that even for Spartans, Hunters are still a HUGE threat, even when not with their bond brother. Honestly would love to see a future small halo Short of like a life for a Hunter, or someone befriending a Hunter due to certain conditions. Outside of that wish list though, this episode was absolutely amazing! I can't believe I never found this until a year after it's release!

This is simply amazing and knowing some people that really enjoy the series, not people that make TV shows with big companies with agendas is great. This looks great and I hope it keeps going well for you because I've wanted something like this (probably like many others) for years. Thank you.
This is actually the first fan made series im invested in now
To bad there’s just one episode
it cant be a halo fan thing without the “why are we here” and we got it... :)
Oh grif
Where was that? I must have missed it.
Really enjoyed the brutes ripping of the spartans limbs while getting pissed off watching
Imagine finding this with zero context and no knowledge of its history.
That was me. I was blown away after watching this right now!!!
Me currently!! I’m lost asf
that’s where i was. just found the first episode then watched this, amazing!
Me
“a dollar short and a day late”
“what the hell does that mean?”
-spartan number is 182-
someone definitely is a fan of blink i see😏
I swear on Reach's skies and Harvest's militia, you should continue this, I love every part of it, the suddenness of death, etc... Good job, 10/10. You should continue this; Remember Reach.

This is so exciting. I cant wait to see it
Ok
I called it .... more so you did but still!!
Amazing episode, it made me feel the same sadness seeing the Spartans dying which is what I felt during Halo Reach, hope the series goes well and good day to you. Remember Reach...
This was beyond great. Remember reach. I'm not crying. Your crying. The reach music and feel. What a punch to the gut. What an ending. Can't wait for the next episode. Keep it coming. As Emile says I'm ready!!!!!! How bout you!!!!!!
Noble Team, this will be our hardest mission yet.
What's the mission Noble Leader?
Don't say too many lines from our game. It's hard but we have to do it.
This episode depicted just how terrifying the covenant can be. What a great production. Everyone on the team did great in making this episode better than the last. Keep it up! You've hooked quite a number of people.
Absolutely awesome, looking forward to the next episode
I was really hoping this was a series I was late to seeing so I could binge watch all the other episodes after this one. Amazing story, Bravo. I loved this and will be anxiously waiting for the next episodes in the line up. Thank you for the great story and animation! 🙂
I’ve seen almost every halo remake that people have done because we all love halo and this is by far my most favorite now and I can’t wait to see this grow and blow up across the gaming community I have an extraordinary feeling this is going to be an amazing series 😆😆😆😆
This was an actual privilege to watch... this stuff if the most badass thing you could ever watch amazing job with this please make more then 10 episodes I’ll watch every single one that ever comes out. Thank you for this experience good work on this
12:48 that moment when you realize that is the same Elite and Spartan from Reach’s concept art
YOOOOOOOO
I JUST REALIZED
This was fantastic! I enjoyed every second of it. Took me back to when I was 10 years old defending reach for the first time. Remember reach.
Holy shit, and this is three years old? Amazing work!
Love this some much, so much effort went into this, this is way better than than the paramount tv show they made. keep up the great work this is unbelievable how good this is.
When independent creators make a halo story that has more emotion and passion, than the entire production team of 343, and the millions spent on Halo 5 is just crazy 🔥🔥
dont act like you didnt tear up for Halo 4's ending
Halo spartan ops was still good tho
343 did it for the money, while this guys made it for the love of halo
Yeah 343 should do a reach sequel, but that’s like asking Bethesda for fallout new Vegas 2
@@nuttygeezer830 We have the halo trilogy for that, why would they return to reach when Earth is at stake?
I liked it My major problem now was worried about, was that With the series that the Spartans would show too much emotion, not that I have a problem with that I just feel, Spartans are trained to be war machines, I feel that they’re emotions are press out or beat out of them, That way they become cold blooded killing machines, But I have to say the way they handled the emotions in relationships between these Spartans were handled very well. Good job to whoever wrote the script.
Well spartan 2s are the ones who are emotionless and spartan 3s are more...”human”
You're thinking spartan 2's like Chief and Jeorge. Spartan 3's are a bit more emotional, like Emile's obvious anger issues and Kat's and Jun's sarcasm. Still a far cry better than spartan 4's who are a bunch of over glorified emo kids
@@asurasalem2838 Save buck and Vale
@@thomasboland540 buck was an odst, he's badass enough that taking Spartan 4 was simply just a pay raise for doing the same amount of ass kicking lmao Vale I'll give a pass since she actually thought for herself rather than "uh ma gawd, we gotta arrest a war hero" I'm looking at you Locke!
@Jared Kristian no doubt they played a massive part in the war, but it's kinda like how, for examples sake, 343 handled Chief. In the original trilogy he was a badass, his methods were unorthodox and the only way it could be explained was just simple luck. Then you go into 4 and 5 and suddenly he takes a more in depth turn that didn't exactly better him as a character. Honestly if they took the concept and made them interesting, I'd be all for the spartan IVs they're really cool! But their personalities are definitely not up to snuff from what you'd expect from a Spartan
Everyone when that spartan dies: noooooo!
me: Do elites decapitate people from behind or is that against their ways of combat?
This is explained later 😉
HaloFollower was the Brutes eating the spartan? Do they even do that????? Pls answer back I’m really curious
@@haloguy710 they were ripping the armour off
@@haloguy710 Yes Brutes do essentially eat anything with meat on it, you can even hear brutes in game say how they are going to eat you.
@@haloguy710 brutes will eat people but it looked like the were ripping him apart because of the blood splatter
Bruh that was brutal in the end, it was to much when the brutes started takin the spartan apart like a bunch of walkers
I had spent this week listening to the Fall of Reach and then this gem appears! Can’t express how much I love the Halo Universe
Choreography, voice acting, writing, and visuals are superb. This series is going somewhere even greater as time goes on. The production team should get funded by 343.
I can’t wait to see how this turns out! I’ve always wanted some sort of sequel to Reach.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for putting your time, your heart and your money into this project. I've done animation and MC work before and I know the tremendous amount of dedication this episode displays. You guys are wonderful and this is awesome.
Damn this was fantastic. The fights look really smooth and this is a really interesting place/time to set the story. Not crazy about the flash forward at the start, but that's more a personal bias. Some of the non-combat animations are still a bit spastic, but it looks a lot better than the pilot in that regard (and that was already really cool); a lot of improvement in a short time. Sign me up, I can't wait to see where this train is heading!
The voice acting, the scripting, the animation it all feels so real and relatable, THE BEST fanimation I've ever seen for anything! Fantastic job guys unreal!
I am going to be completely honest, the part where the brutes were either eating or ripping apart the spartan limb from limb made me shocked and hate them even more now, but I love it because it seems exactly what brutes would do to those they have killed. I have played halo since halo combat evolved and still love it to this day. Love the video and hope to see more in the future. I also love how far you are going into the concept of how reach was before and after from other spartans point of view, this is making me get flashbacks to when I first played reach when it came out with my brother and father.
Was man, I can’t wait to see the result of this, it’s gonna be sick!
Don’t know why I put a “was” in there
@@MarbleMule18 jesus no
This is so brilliantly done, it could be a DLC for Reach damn it! The Falcon Shot at 9:50 looks like a cutscene
Honestly can't wait for more. This series has so much potential. I hope it gets to the same level of love and fame as other fanworks like RvB, cause this is golden.
I haven't been watching you as much as I used to Chris but you started my love for halo lore and getting into the nitty gritty I never left after all that drama you suffered from but man your amazing I wish I had more time to dedicate myself to stuff like I used to have
Dang dude. The feels with the reach trailer music while showing noble team's deaths, almost actually made me start crying. Im excited to see more.
Bro.... that ending transmission.... hell yes
Amazed I’m surprised that this isn’t a Netflix series or something
Whoever voice acted the Sangheili during the sword fight scene did a top notch job.
wow this was amazing! voice acting was done really well and the story is off to a good start! i did not expect his head to get cut off! if i was to offer any criticism, it would be that the weapons phase into the chest armor when they are held a certain way and the resolution seems to be a little low especially during quick moving scenes
How much u wanna bet 343 saw this is like "how can we bring back noble 6" lmao this was good man
so nobody gonna talk about noble 6 status report at the end? Pretty sure he's in the cave. Real epic gamer moment if this happens!
this.
Hey, this was really cool, great job! I’m sure it was a considerable amount of work to put together. You obviously have a talented team. I’m looking forward to more and I’ll be tuning in for the following episodes!
My only critique is that I had a tough time telling the Spartans apart (other than Emma). Their voices and armor (perhaps combined with the dark lighting of the scenes, which all looked great, btw) were just a little too similar.
Awesome work.
Please make this a serious series and don't stop! Maybe if this keeps up, people won't stop remembering Reach and they'll keep it alive, never leaving it behind!
this so unbelievably well made and the story is so good! i just hope this series isn't discontinued
9:46 to 10:16 is a beautiful homage to the cinematography of Halo Reach’s cutscenes. they used a lot of visceral camera effects, like frequent zoom ins/outs and landscape portraits. it invokes the feeling of immersion (imo). the fade transition is also a beautiful touch. the entire episode is shot tremendously well though that sequence stuck to me.
this might just be a preference thing but one tip i’d give is, involve the camera less in the actual action, and pull it back a bit to show the sequence unfold infront of the audience. more so, paint the set piece and use the the entire frame to make a moment for a couple seconds.
anyways that’s more nitpicky of me, i fucking loved the episode and i can’t wait for more, been here since your coverage of halo 4 💪🏼🙌🏼
Glad to finally see my sword and mac-cannon models in action lol; Excellent episode and great voice acting!! Looking forward to part II.
THIS IS THE YEAR FOR HALO PROVE ME WRONG
You mean next year?
@@redmist6630 both
Out of the loop here , could you tell why ?
@@1234kois Shadows Of Reach, 3 games ported to MCC, a lot of new contents for Halo 5, Halo 5 Forge on PC, and most of all, Halo Infinite Gameplay.
@@dimactavicus Ohh , Thanks for explaining that :)
This is by far the best fan made story I’ve ever watched good job on it I can’t wait to see the next episode
This is the most impressive fan made halo animation I’ve seen i really hope this can continue and good luck
There’s some stuff here and there, but I cannot BELIEVE that this is animation!
I’m more hyped about this then halo Infinite at this point lol
Dude same
It's Reach what do you expect everyone loves reach
@@coywolfproductions7056
Haha then you realize Reach is the game that split the franchise in 2.
@@silentphotographer117 I mean, your not wrong
Kokugatsu and the lonewolf gatsu fact’s lol. My fav game of all time
Been following halo follower since before halo 5’s release
Absolutely gold,1000x better than the actual show and then some.I also enjoy how you apply actual armour physics to the Spartans except maybe for the clipping,but still amazing and I will gladly support!
343 needs to hire this team, 22 minutes and im already hooked. Leagues above whatever the hell they did with halo 4/5 story-wise
when I will be dead and my body will be rotten then in the afterlife HALO still will the best franchise for me
Yooo tomorrow’s my birthday, what a treat!
Happy birthday Spartan Joshua Nickoloff.
Cheers to more oncoming years of dedicated service to halo universe and it's franchise 💫.
Michael Macquoid much appreciate my Spartan brother 💪🏽

Why have two people already disliked this? It hasn’t even started yet.
RandomGamer Reviews I don’t understand why people dislike videos that aren’t controversial or bad
@@Chckenrear its probaly some random fortnight kid
Probably people thinking it's gonna be a mutli million dollar studio production
I dunno man, youtube dislike bot is a thing.
@@coolbreeze7132 That makes less sense on its own.
This video has THE BEST ad placement ever. Not mid-scene, but when the screen is blank. Nice.
You guys all did such a wonderful job recapturing the magic I felt at 11 playing reach for the very first time. Seeing cutscenes from reach and seeing both the fan made/ and bungie storylines sort of intertwining is spot on. I look forward to seeing more from this series in the future!
I was so stoned I cried.
"Noble 6. Satus Report"
Me: Don't...don't give me hope.
wow....this is better then the show that's actually sad....
Holy Christ, this is so great while waiting for Infinite! Let's bring back Halo before it is here Spartans
Amazing work
From all who spent minutes hours days
For us fans to have and cherish
From an amazing halo game.
Keep up the good work
Dude, that was awesome, all it took was this one episode to love this and get me excited, I love the characters, I’m so far loving the story, and you already made me feel heartbroken after that death. 10/10 -CRNA Gaming
I am afraid of the elite who can lift over one thousand pounds with one arm.
I wish it could be dubbed into Spanish, so this masterpiece would reach more people
Bro. This is so good, why didn't paramount do something like this? Please tell me there's more coming, with so much crap happening with halo recently, this series is fantastic
I don't know when the last time you watched this was, but check the pinned comment at the top of the video. :)
Dude, seeing the second hunter just obliterate both of those Spartans by itself. Being a massive fan of Hunters, this brings a smile to my face. This also shows that even for Spartans, Hunters are still a HUGE threat, even when not with their bond brother. Honestly would love to see a future small halo Short of like a life for a Hunter, or someone befriending a Hunter due to certain conditions. Outside of that wish list though, this episode was absolutely amazing! I can't believe I never found this until a year after it's release!
Idk how im just now finding this, considering i binge watch all halo on youtube on an almost daily basis, but this is incredible and made my day!
