This couldn't be repeated even if it was practiced for thousands of years, let alone by accident like this. He just keeps running in a straight line, which is usually suicide, his team mates are dying around him, all chaos has broken loose, vehicles are gunning for him and missing my millimetres, but he just keeps on running straight without looking or anything just kept his legs moving and his eyes on the prize hahaha
12 years since I uploaded the video, 10 since Martin left us. And you people are still watching it and commenting. I can only say: Thank you, for your words, and not letting this be forgotten, both the joy Halo 3 brought us all and the memory of my friend. Wish you all the best for 2020.
I come back to this video all the time especially for all the well wishes for Martin. Thanks for keeping his memory strong! He's still finishing the fight!
This is the first video I ever favorited on RUclips back in 2007. Looking back it's amazing what I've lived through since then. I had not known Martin passed away until just now, but I, at least, will definitely remember him forever.
Well, it's been a while since I last checked my videos. And I have to say, thanks everyone for watching and for remembering Martin, it makes very happy. Some of you were asking who he was. He was (and will always be) my best friend. My bro. So again, thank you all for all your comments even after all this time.
+John Peacekeeper That's serious? Dude, you need to share those fanfics. +Van Zeph And the posibility to give to your friend a tribute on the Game, it's not far away of reality. I read a notice about a Xbox User Halo Fan, called "thecrzedspartan". At some point he lost their daughters and 343i give to him a special gift. You can read the notice here: www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/spartans-never-walk-alone If you can get in contact with some dev's, maybe they are going to hear you. I'm not an English Speaker, so I'm sorry if I have mispelled words.
+Van Zeph It's been 9 years now but he's still a legend. This video as well as RvB series are the 2 things that hold great memories of Halo 3 for me, probably one of the best games I've ever played. This is the point where I should say may your friend rest in peace, but that's not true, because even in heaven he's still running with the flag and making dank plays ;)
It's been 3 years now. Thanks to everyone for watching and commenting. Remembering his words during this game: "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGWTF HOLYSH*T AAAAH *uncontrollable laughter*". That means: Play for fun. Enjoy the game. Life's too short, don't waste it hating.
I remember watching this video 12 years ago, always stuck with me on how epic it was. You choose the song well and it fits really good. Thanks for sharing it. 343 should do a homage to your friend. An easter egg of some sort.
wow, i remember the first time i watched this was so long ago, already back then i thought it was amazing, i came back after so long just to find out he passed away from cancer, makes me sad. R.I.P epic flag runner you majestic beast.
He died with the real teamwork, died in our memories, died a hero, rest in peace the epic flagman aka Martin you gave us good memories, taught us real teamwork, even if you were a noob, you will die a legend!, you will never be forgotten, martin, NEVER!
@@QoVoCGaming "In memorial of the brave flag runner, who couldn't dodge cancer. Rest in Peace, bro. We all miss you... Martin (a.k.a. Turin) (June 17th, 1988 - Dec 19th, 2009)"
I've watched this video countless times throughout the years. Every time I watch this, the nostalgia builds up in my body greater and greater. But it also makes me full of remorse for our dear friend Martin who has died. Watching this video made me realize something very important. No matter what life throws at us, you keep moving forward, no matter what. Never look back. Martin was fighting cancer and inevitably, died. But we all know he never really died. Because Spartans never die. They just go missing in action. Halo 3 will always be the best Xbox 360 game. Rest in paradise Martin. You will never be forgotten because of this.
This is the single best moment of Halo. If anyone ever asks what it was like, *this* is it. You can talk about the gameplay, or the physics, or people playing around the world against each other, but *this*--playing on a couch with your best friend, going nuts as you pull off something insane--this is what it was. And Martin is who we all were. We will never forget him and who we all were. o7, legend. Thank you for keeping this moment alive for all of us who were there.
The servers may be gone now, but Martin's memory is still engrained within this video, and so is the memory of everyone here and gone that had amazing experiences with friends and strangers on this game. You may not have known it when you uploaded this fourteen years ago, but you did this community a service when you made it. Thank you.
I said it once and I'll say it again: every single time I type in "Halo epic flag run," this video was, is, and always will be the first vid. This is the legacy left by that flag runner for the Halo community! :)
They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research, watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck... Was I wrong?
People eventually fall, and fade into obscurity, but it's the memories like these that live on forever. May this memory last until the end of time, and serve as a legacy for anyone who knew this man as a friend. Skill can be learned, and taught, but cooperation is a bond that must be built, and luck can strike at any time. Rest in peace, Spartan. You've earned it.
@@hathveon I am always amazed at how that doesn't kill him. He's got no shield, the wheel hit him pretty good, yet he not only survived the hit, but also the salvo of Chopper shots afterward. That's just something you can never replicate.
me too. halo 3, cod 4, mw 2 and bfbc 2 were all the best. Id still ply halo 3 if it wasn't so hard to find a decent game. I miss btb on avalanche more than anything.
Out of my entire Halo career from Halo CE, to now, this is hands down THE most epic Halo replay I've ever seen! He picked up the flag and look straight at his victory mark and never once looked back. He had the eye of the tiger, looking straight at his victory mark ahead of him. Battle all around, took four hits, lost his shield, he didn't budge. He stayed steadfast in his victory effort! This man...no...this HERO deserves a permanent place in the Halo players hall-of-fame! God bless you, man.
Wow, I can't believe I was actually in this game! I was the one driving the mongoose, hilariously trying to run over the flag carrier. That moment is so vivid in my memory - right after I got taken out, I saw our whole team charging in with vehicles. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, 'We've got this, we're definitely getting our flag back.' The whole time, I was just baffled, wondering how on earth we didn't manage to retrieve our flag. I was like 9 years old lmao.
Bro I literally remember watching this as a kid when it had couple of views, and then remembering the video once again somewhat around MCC came out. And ever since rediscovering this video, I really enjoy this video for both laughs and fun it was watching this unfold. Thank you Van Zeph for uploading this piece of childhood flashback, a memory that Martin will be proud of.
Pause @2:42 when he opens the scoreboard. All 8 players on red team are playing on 3 TVs, and half of blue team is playing splitscreen. This is what halo used to be all about. My mind was blown when halo 5 released without splitscreen. Had they simply included that I would have got an xbone as soon as it released. Gaming is so much less social nowadays. Halo n chill used to be a goto in high school to get under a blanket on the couch with a girl. In freshman year of HS only one of my friends had an xbox 360 so I used to bike 8 miles each way so we could splitscreen halo for hours on end. I'm only 24 but watching this makes me feel old af.
I come back to this video every time I remember 343's Karnivore made a huge post on reddit justifying infinite's lack of one-hit-kill objective melees with, and I directly quote, "I've intentionally chosen to emphasize teamwork rather than deliver lots of power-fantasy to the objective carriers."
i come back to this video every few months to reminiscence of days gone by, of they days we were happy and we didn't know it, Don't let this video die because it represents all the awesome moments we had in the glory days, of the friends we made along the way and all that we achieved as a community. RIP Martin, you will pass to history as a legend in the halo community.
I was there at that time too, it was an incredible era of video game history, maybe the greatest. I just got into the latest Halo... a lot of memories come back to me but Halo 3 was truly a gem. I stumbled upon this video in 2024 while searching for some Halo 3 gameplay; that flag capture was incredible. May your mate rest in peace. Rip Spartan 🙏🏻
This man inspired us all not to give up even when it seems impossible HE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOW US NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Keep your head up and carry your flag no matter how many people try to run you over or stop you you won't be stopped! NEVER GIVE UP!!
This video is insanely special I've been watching it for years. Can we please acknowledge the amazing cinematography in this replay? This shot at 1:59 is terrifying, The chopper seems like a Predator ready to pounce on its prey. My heart stops every time I see this part, even though I know what's going to happen next. 2:08 I absolutely love this shot, with the music as the camera pans around, the Chopper hits the handbrakes and does a sharp turn swerving back so fiercely, and again finding itself only inches away from running over our hero. Barley making it out in the nick of time, he leaps his way to the finish. Utterly beautiful. Truly, a time capsule to Halo fans.
Spartan N99 deserves just as much credit he ran beside him the whole way and held it down without him we wouldnt have this epic video. (he kills the bike driver at last second)
Here I am, writing another comment... This amount of nostalgia just can't be processed by my brain. After crying from the feels from the actual video, that memorial text at the end, perfectly fitted with the music, does not make it any easier... Rest in peace!
Dude I actually cried I just found he died. Fuck man I watched this video so many times when I was younger this was my favorite RUclips video I thought it was so amazing! God this makes me so sad I fucking hate can cancer so much. God this guy is a legend I will always remember this video you are loved you legend!
Let this man forever be enshrined in glory. This video was what first inspired me to play Halo 3 for the first time ever. Let this video never be removed; it has a special place in not just my heart, but all of ours. I feel as if the sheer teamwork, dedication, and luck has brought the community closer together. Rest in peace Martin, you ennobled all of us, and shall not be forgotten :')
The fact that this is super long time ago, this was a historical post that’s always featured In most media features. I want to draw this moment into a canvas but I’m going to figure out how
Felt the old nostalgia for the Halo 3 days again, so I came here. This video is a monument to the friends and good times that we all found in those simpler times. Godspeed Spartans, I'll see you all starside.
Anybody else miss the old halo :( compared to halo 5 this is so much better already. I already sold my xbox one but when I watch these old halo videos it makes me want Xbox again but it's not the same anymore halo 5 is nothing like the original halos like these why did bungee leave :( well it was fun while it lasted. Thank you halo community for making me have such a fun gaming childhood back then :)
Trust me, you don't want Bungie to come back to halo, haven't you seen their complete fail with destiny? I don't think bungie will do any better than 343 :/
Halo 6 might be a good one, they learned to make an at least way better multiplayer, and now I think we're going to have a warthog run at the end because of the rings are firing again
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 enobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten.”
Every so often I have to come back to this video and appreciate it. I can just imagine the laughing and yelling as you and your friend were playing this match! Rest in peace to the Legend, himself
I just found this video a few days back. You guys must have a heck of blast playing together. I would imagine you guys were laughing your butts off on that entire run. I envy such a experience. Anyway I am here to pay my respects to Flag Runner Martin. OORAH!
This video comes to mind every time I hear the Mjolnir mix and it is the most Halo video to ever Halo. It just perfectly sums up those early 2000's memories of Halo so perfectly. Martin The Spartan, the flag running legend himself, will forever be remembered. Spartans don't die, they just go missing in action.
Just wanted to pop in and say Rest in Peace Martin, this video has given me so many laughs and reading all of these comments from everyone really puts a big smile on my face. Moments like these are one and a million and im sure Martin is still cappin flags in Valhalla

I watch this over and over again and still can’t comprehend just how close of a shave that Chopper gave him. Truly one of a kind.
Halo 3 chose Martin because he was special. It knew they would be perfect together. And it was right.
May his ghost live again within the PC Halo 3

God this makes me so sad I fucking hate can cancer so much. God this guy is a legend I will always remember this video you are loved you legend!
R.I.P. the best flag runner ever, we miss you.
RIP king, you may be gone but this flag run will live on in your legacy
Almost 12 years old. Never forget halo 3
Let this man forever be enshrined in glory. This video was what first inspired me to play Halo 3 for the first time ever. Let this video never be removed; it has a special place in not just my heart, but all of ours. I feel as if the sheer teamwork, dedication, and luck has brought the community closer together. Rest in peace Martin, you ennobled all of us, and shall not be forgotten :')
The fact that this is super long time ago, this was a historical post that’s always featured In most media features. I want to draw this moment into a canvas but I’m going to figure out how
holy fuck. Martin, the man, the myth, the legend. RIP you beautiful flag runner
The lobby must’ve went crazy that day
Continues to be a shining example of true comradeship, reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan.
RIP
That was the greatest flag run I have ever seen, beautiful, remarkable, magnificent.
May this legend continue resting in peace, 13 years later.
Even people who don't know halo 3 can recognize that this is the best capture flag run in video game history
Looking back on my old "Favorites" RUclips video list. This is amazing! I remember showing this to all of my friends.
The amount of team work! Wish people still used it like shown here!
Felt the old nostalgia for the Halo 3 days again, so I came here. This video is a monument to the friends and good times that we all found in those simpler times. Godspeed Spartans, I'll see you all starside.
And I'm back, and this video is as crisp and nostalgic as always
Some say he was a noob, but we all know he died a legend 😢
I remember seeing this video long ago, brings back so many memories. Makes me wanna go back to when I was a kid again.
It’s 2020 and still showing my respect!!! This brings back so many high school memories for me.
Anybody else miss the old halo :( compared to halo 5 this is so much better already. I already sold my xbox one but when I watch these old halo videos it makes me want Xbox again but it's not the same anymore halo 5 is nothing like the original halos like these why did bungee leave :( well it was fun while it lasted. Thank you halo community for making me have such a fun gaming childhood back then :)
Trust me, you don't want Bungie to come back to halo, haven't you seen their complete fail with destiny? I don't think bungie will do any better than 343 :/
It's called Activision
omg i havnt thought about that xD
but bungie did make destiny with activision
Halo 6 might be a good one, they learned to make an at least way better multiplayer, and now I think we're going to have a warthog run at the end because of the rings are firing again
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 enobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten.”
some say that the man carrying this flag is the one true master chief
Every so often I have to come back to this video and appreciate it. I can just imagine the laughing and yelling as you and your friend were playing this match! Rest in peace to the Legend, himself
Watching in 2021.
RIP Martin.
I just found this video a few days back. You guys must have a heck of blast playing together. I would imagine you guys were laughing your butts off on that entire run. I envy such a experience.
Anyway I am here to pay my respects to Flag Runner Martin. OORAH!
Came back to this video after playing halo 5..Rip flagrunner
Same!
It has now been 15 years guys
This video comes to mind every time I hear the Mjolnir mix and it is the most Halo video to ever Halo. It just perfectly sums up those early 2000's memories of Halo so perfectly. Martin The Spartan, the flag running legend himself, will forever be remembered. Spartans don't die, they just go missing in action.
Just wanted to pop in and say Rest in Peace Martin, this video has given me so many laughs and reading all of these comments from everyone really puts a big smile on my face. Moments like these are one and a million and im sure Martin is still cappin flags in Valhalla
