BTB was a crapload of fun. Still think there is room for improvement with some of the weapons and the way vehicles show their damage but overall, Infinite is looking almost as solid as your jawline
Me neither, so when I tried this out a few weeks ago I was really pleased to have it feel so much like Halo 2 with the extras feeling like natural evolutions
Thanks for the support on todays video! I know Halo isn't everybodys thing, but if I didn't get this out it'd be gnawing at my brain stem. This isn't a Halo Channel though, so don't worry. This is the last you'll see of Green Man for a long while. Recap next week. Thanks again
I just want armor to reflect achievements again. I remember looking at people's armor in H3 and think, "Oh, a fellow king who's beaten the game on legendary, awesome" if they had EOD armor.
Chris: "I don't know enough about Halo to be considered some kina of expert." Also Chris: Just so happens to casually find an operational installation to go hiking on.
I had a lot of fun playing BTB. That's probably where I'll spend most of my time unless challenges require me to play Arena. BTB just offers so much variety and I'm glad they're letting it shine in this game. Most fun I've had playing Halo since Halo 3
Was literally just thinking “Damn I hope Chris uploads soon” and god DAMN it’s a banger. Worth the wait, amazing job Chris. (Edit): I’d like to say a good idea for the Plasma Pistol would be to bring back the EMP Effect with slightly better tracking, but make it so that it takes 2 charged shots to fully Disable a Vehicle, with 1 shot maybe slowing it down by anywhere from 10%-25%. The Plasma Pistol always felt unique and useful to me because of the utility of disabling Vehicles.
the plasma pistol not emp'ing vehicles was a bug in the preview. If bots were given one and they hit you with a charged shot the vehicle would stop working. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the blue glow but it does make some sense for electric weapons
That sounds not fun to fight against! If TF2 has taught me anything, it's that involuntary stun/slowdown is REALLY annoying in a movement heavy shooter. Especially if it's too easy for the enemy to abuse. The Natasha is a hit scan mini gun that just takes away like 25% of your movement speed with just one hit. For now, I think having that ability be it's own utility weapon in a sandbox where it's quantity is limited is fine. (I do miss the old plasma pistol though :[ but I can see what they wanna do)
Halo has always been important to me because it has been something that me and some of my closest friends have bonded over for over a decade. However, that magic was gone with Halo 5, and whenever we got together to play Halo, we would just go back to Reach. Playing Infinite with my friends was the most fun I had playing a game with them since Reach. As long as 343 can stick the landing, this game is gonna be legendary. Great video Chris!
Honestly, I don’t really care about Halo. I love the design, I’ve played the games a little and I love seeing the community talk about it. But seeing Chris be optimistic and happy about Halo Infinite brings my depressed autistic heart joy.
This is legitimately some of my favorite Chris content. He has the intimate and technical knowledge that proves his expertise, but also keeps his irreverent sense of humor.
As someone who's skipped every Halo since Reach, I'm very excited that this is the one that I randomly decided to investigate to see if it was any good. No joke, I didn't even know how many Halos there were, once Bungie relinquished control I didn't even look at Halo any more. It weirdly was the heap of press about how bad the designs were in that first trailer/look/whatever and how 343 reacted by delaying the game, combined with Microsofts recent moves that seem to be short term losses for long term gains that made me decide to keep an eye on this one. Glad it's looking so good, will definitely be giving them a lot of money if it lives up to the hype.
You didn't miss much with 5, that was just straight garbage. 4 was essentially a more COD like Reach. It's not a terrible game but I'm not sure I'd recommend it either. You didn't miss much apart from making the Chief less of a silent suit of armour. Infinite already does the talking part better than 4 did.
@@gabethebabe3337 4's campaign was alright and I enjoyed 5's arena MP but I understand why people didn't like it, especially with the state it was in on release. I hated warzone though.

I have no connection to Halo, I don't care about Halo, I don't like competitive multiplayer FPS at all. None of them. But when YOU talk about Halo? I'm in. I just love anyone sharing what they're passionate about, and the passion shines brightly with you and Halo. I know you said you won't be doing any more of these for a while, but dude, if you decide to do more, I'm in. Great stuff, Chris. Catch you on the next Sacred Symbols!
I've never played a Halo game in my life, but seeing the recent videos about the franchise made by you and Noodle has been extremely fun and refreshing. You both are not only extremely passionate about the games, but clearly have a solid understanding of what it is about them that you enjoy, from both an artistic and mechanical perspective. It's given me a lot of insight as someone who hopes to be a successful game developer one day, and it's definitely convinced me to try the games out sometime.
About the sniper rifle, I completely agree that something felt off every time I used it in infinite. I actually went back and played MCC last night and I realized that the Sniper in Halo 3 has a bigger reticle and has more of radius to shoot players while Infinites sniper is smaller and more precise. It feels less powerful when you shoot compared to other halo titles and is also wayy more precise to hit players than in previous games.
Incredibly refreshing that you like it. Given that the last Halo I really enjoyed was Reach, but only the slayer pro parts where the only powerup was sprint. Can’t wait to boot up with the bros and get some nice nostalgia to middle/high school gaming
If Halo 2,3,4 and titanfall 2 had a child, this is the brilliant godsend that we get as a result. Also Chris play titanfall 2 if you haven't already (assuming that you can) i think that you'd love it.
I can’t wait for co-op to be released. I’m going to buy it as soon as it’s implemented. Co-op campaign is such a part of Halo for me that I can’t imagine playing without it
yea idk why anyone cares about a new pvp mode, we have the old ones still without any of these problems if you want that lol. Gimmie a friend and a warthog and i'll take out the entire covenant army
yes, me and a friend played through the entire campaigns of 1,2,3,and reach (i think we did ODST as well). playing the campaigns with a friend was some of the most fun i have had gaming.
Really good video, i can physically feel the passion leaking out of this video. Even though I've only really played halo at a friend's place like twice backg in 2008, im probably gonna get a series x just for this, because of these videos.
This aged fine actually. chris was thinking of a sane company running halo infinite you know one that would add actual content instead of letting hype die Its like winning the lottery then putting off claiming your winnings until it expires.
The insane amount of effort and passion that went into this video is immediately apparent. I know I don't speak for everybody, but I don't mind waiting a little longer then usual for passion driven videos like this.
i’m not even a halo fan. in fact, i was a partisan cod fanboy for quite a while until like 3 years ago, but this is genuinely a fantastic video. while i wish chris uploaded a non-halo vid after 3 months of no activity (no hate intended), i love it when people talk about their passions. you can tell this was 100% a passion product. the shot of the gameplay reflecting in the spartan helmet was fuckin glorious. incredible job, christoph raymundo gunsmithe-higgins. glad to see you actually happy about something lmfao
I played 200 hrs before February, gave it a near 10/10 and I put the game down for boring life stuff so hearing about the content drought atm is not too annoying for me as hopefully when I start playing again itll all be there. I'm just happy the game nailed the HALO feeling and mechanics. Knowing the rest is to come and the glory days of this game probably hasnt happened yet is comforting for me.
You thought we wouldn't notice the mass effect music at the end, but we did. Fantastic video, love the editing style copying the Halo chapter openings.
I've never been a Halo fan, never played any of the games for significant amounts of time. But Halo Infinite looks so damn good, that it's one of my most anticipated games in many years.
That clip of the wharthog driving into the shield brought back memories of making "drop pods" and "armored" mongooses with those shields. In forge if you place 2 of those in a cylinder or really any shape capable of holding them close to each other and had a overshield or camo under it, then set the physics to normal on the shields they'd drop down like a drop pod when you touched the pickup
I can finally ignore the existence of Halo 4 and Halo 5. This is the true sequel to Halo 3. We do need more neutral equipment like the bubble shield, regen, trip mine, and grav-lifts.
Cough cough* forgot reach I agree 😁, just make sure reach is included 👊🏻, id play h4 or 5 any day over reach (though to play any of them would be as boring as watching qvc).
The kill times just seem a bit short to me. I feel like in the Bungie Halo games you could actually survive enough damage to potentially turn an ambush around but in Infinite you die before you can even turn.
I'm on the fence about this. The older games felt a little too bullet spongey but being able to react was fun. Maybe a small health buff/damage decrease would put it in the sweetspot.
the customization is really exciting for me since it is a combination of the awesome stuff implemented by both 4 and reach where 4 let you change the base pieces more than the rest with reach's customization of the attachments and details of the armor, plus I personally love the change to appearance in matches since I never liked that my color picks on my armor didn't matter because 99% of modes just painted it red or blue
Agree with basically everything you've said, I am legitimately so happy knowing this game will be in my hands in a couple months. Only things I think need a little more attention from the community are the warthog, and the plasma weapons/shock weapons issue. The warthog felt incredibly floaty, and OD top heavy. It was really frustrating at times, and maybe this is just a me thing but the warthog is genuinely an integral part of Halo's sandbox IMO, Halo 3's Warthog is the blueprint, this feels more like a cross between reach and 4. The Shock weapons are really cool, but they don't even come close to filling the shoes of the plasma based weapons in games past. The plasma pistol feels like an aesthetic choice rather than a combat choice with how weak and impractical it is. The plasma pistol was quite literally make or break in Halo 2, and still essentially indispensable in Halo 3, it's really frustrating to see it at the place it is, especially with the things replacing it being lack luster at best. I also felt that ballistic UNSC weapon types were so much more practical, especially in big team, but that might just me being kind of ass with the Brute and Cov weapons haha. Your Focus on neutral equipment really excited me though, hearing a voice as far reaching as yours succinctly describing how important it is to the Halo sandbox gives me hope that it's still possible to be worked in in the future. Also a bubble shield would make a hugely positive impact on gameplay IMO, the drop wall is a pretty cool idea, but absolutely useless and too one sided. Happy that someone whose not afraid to criticize Halo is this positive on Infinite though, I was worried I was fanboying haha, can't wait for the next era of Halo and really hope someone at 343 is listening because your feedback is bang on IMO.
As someone who never played halo until I was 19, and didn't grow up with the franchise, I'm genuinely excited for Halo fans to finally get a decent game.
I really liked this newest video man. A lot of effort was put here and it shows. I don't mind waiting for your videos, quality is usually pretty damn high in them. And hey, you made me a new Halo fan with your vids. That is a achievement in my books. And with that Ultimate Peter Parker hairstyle and Galaxy Map theme playing, I have to press that like button.
@@BattleBrotherCasten yup halo 3 had better overall feel to it over h2. Even though h2 is my favorite, h3 is a better game. As for infinite I'm not sure how I feel. When I see the game play videos it just doesn't scream Halo. Maybe I'm wrong I'll definitely give it a shot, but I don't got high hopes for it.
@@BattleBrotherCasten ehhh microsoft had nothing to do with the balancing of Halo's sandbox. Affecting campaign and multiplayer maps development sure but the weapon sandbox? That's all bungie's decision. It was the same for Destiny aswell
@@khalduras784 Dev time=testing and balancing the sandbox..so yeah..Halo2 needed another two years and H3 needed another year...Halo 4 needed another two years...there’s a pattern.
@@BattleBrotherCasten which they had alot of time to do after launch which they decided to spend more time creating map dlcs instead. A trend they also decided to continue for Halo Reach and Destiny 1 Not to mention influential devs such as Marty also express that they genuinely do think their sandbox is just fine and good.
chris puts more effort into these halo videos than most hollywood directors put into their movies. ive never been a halo fan, ive played halo 3 once a couple years ago, but just his pure passion and love for the series is making me really hyped for halo infinite, and i will absolutely be playing it (especially since its free)
Hello there Edit: Just finished the video. I was able to catch one of the RUclips streams and I was wondering if you still feel that Bazaar is a much better map in CTF? Good video.
These Halo videos and your clear excitement have gotten me so hyped to play Infinite that I'm slowly going through each Halo and going through the ones I missed. Been having a blast reliving 1 and 2. Thank you.
I despise armor coatings. Most in the pass I feel are kinda ugly. Chances are, I'm gonna use the Razer one and that's it. I equipped green/grey coating, didn't care every time I got a new one. No Jeff Steitzer in BTB was disappointing. Those were really my only complaints. It's a god damn blast.
I missed Chris...sidenot Chris if you read this you're literally a carbon copy of a friend of mine. The only difference is you're hair color and you don't look starved.
Id be so down to watch. 5 hour „Green man on ring world“ video of chris going over all the games in this way. God hes so good at articulating his thoughts authentically but also making it entertaining. Please never stop doing what you love Chris :)
Being stuck at a hotel because of mold taking over my family's house, this is definitely the type of stuff I need to pass the time. Good on you mate, can't wait to see what you think of a game I wouldn't be able to play for the foreseeable future but looks like fun
Sweet, I'm pretty excited to play this. I haven't really played Halo MP since Halo 3 and this one just looks so good! I just have to get used to the TTK again as all these newer/tactical shooters TTK is extremely short. Still, glad it's F2P so I can get in there and see if it's something I feel like getting into! Excellent video, sir!
I remember back over a decade, in 2008, my uncle had lost a very scarily swift battle against leukemia. I, a ten year old just barely understanding life, was shocked, confused, depressed, and scared. He was a man of consideration and inspiring amounts of care. He married my direct aunty, and died less than a month later. But before they even married, he still treated us with care and love. Before he had died, he had bought an xbox 360 and halo 3 for my brother and I, which we later received after his funeral. We hooked it up, booted halo 3, and listened to the opening music for what felt like forever. I still remember it sitting on the main menu, the men with their baritone voices vocalizing what i could only assume is the song you hear as you enter the afterlife, and it instantly taking my breath away. My other uncle, blood related, spent many hours helping us beat the campaign on legendary, as my little brother and I practiced on normal while he wasn’t visiting. August 19th, 2008 was the birth of my love for halo. I later collected halo: combat evolved, 2, ODST, Reach (including the limited edition console and statue of noble team), 4, and 5. Not only am i proud to see their return to a more memorable and palatable look for halo, I am happy that blossoms fond memories back in my head if a man who would have enjoyed it as well. Rest in peace Miguel Gonzalez. Welcome back halo. “Sir, finishing this fight”
It's going to be a fun game, but I feel they deviated too much from what people truly wanted. They are trying to get the majority of people, to like Halo, that's never going to happen, if it didn t happen back in the day with the original trilogy it's not going to happen 15 to 20 years later. Halo in comparison to BF, COD, Counter strike and Overwatch could almost be considered niche, by the monstrous fanbases those games gathered over the years, not that it means they re better games, I personally don't believe they're, just a LOT more popular. They'll try and they'll fail in their endeavor to cater to as much people as possible, COD fans, will go back to COD, BF fans will go back to BF, Warzone and Fortnite are still humangous amongst the kiddos who 343i is obviously trying to pull in with its T rating, Apex is still big, Splitgate will add their version of "Forge" pretty soon and of course, Overwatch 2 when it does come out, it will be again, an absolute monster. Most people will point to how broken or overrated those games are, well, how much you want to bet a lot more people will buy and play COD Vanguard than they will play a F2P Halo MP even on the Xbox? It happened with Halo 3 and COD Modern Warfare, it will happen again. Halo is for Halo fans, trying to modernize it in any way shape or form, will kill it in the long run, which is exactly what this game as set out to do.
Speaking of interactivity, imagine CE's boarding party expanded a bit with a space battle (ships flying through the middle lane similar to terminal but varied.) Sorry I've just always wanted this map back. It was a bad map (for that game) with a great idea and it deserves to be considered.
I think you’re totally right about Halo Infinite. I only got to play a little bit during the flight - with shitty college wifi mind you - and still had a great time. Totally excited for December. Also love your usage of music from the games throughout the vid.
As a bit of a younger fan, I was brought up on Halo 3, it made me really sad playing games like halo 5 because I felt like I'd never be able to capture the feeling of playing halo 3 with my dad on my xbox 360, cuz it was amazing fun even if we both sucked. This really feels like I'm gunna be able to have a great time with it again, and I cant wait to try it out
Hell yeah, I have no means to play this but I'm still super invested in your enjoyment of the game. These videos are great and I look forward to Decembers update

Thanks noodle it's been a while since you've uploaded.
Love your halo content
You thought we wouldn't notice the mass effect music at the end, but we did. Fantastic video, love the editing style copying the Halo chapter openings.
I've never owned a Halo game and have only played multiplayer with friends a handful of times. This will be my first halo experience and I'm excited.
5:38 best analogy for 343 art style ever
I've never been a Halo fan, never played any of the games for significant amounts of time. But Halo Infinite looks so damn good, that it's one of my most anticipated games in many years.
That clip of the wharthog driving into the shield brought back memories of making "drop pods" and "armored" mongooses with those shields. In forge if you place 2 of those in a cylinder or really any shape capable of holding them close to each other and had a overshield or camo under it, then set the physics to normal on the shields they'd drop down like a drop pod when you touched the pickup
Never owned an xbox or played a halo but i find your takes interesting and I'm glad a thing you like isn't complete trash.
I can finally ignore the existence of Halo 4 and Halo 5. This is the true sequel to Halo 3. We do need more neutral equipment like the bubble shield, regen, trip mine, and grav-lifts.
Cough cough* forgot reach
I agree 😁, just make sure reach is included 👊🏻, id play h4 or 5 any day over reach (though to play any of them would be as boring as watching qvc).
@@Gridlocked my bad i see how you read that. No i meant that as in i hate reach in reference to the op comment

me too
@@ChrisRayGun Holy fuck hi Chris I never thought you'd see my comment thank you
All that setup for an Express VPN ad. I was wondering where this bit was coming from and I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Well played, Chris.
The kill times just seem a bit short to me.
I feel like in the Bungie Halo games you could actually survive enough damage to potentially turn an ambush around but in Infinite you die before you can even turn.
I'm on the fence about this. The older games felt a little too bullet spongey but being able to react was fun. Maybe a small health buff/damage decrease would put it in the sweetspot.
the customization is really exciting for me since it is a combination of the awesome stuff implemented by both 4 and reach where 4 let you change the base pieces more than the rest with reach's customization of the attachments and details of the armor, plus I personally love the change to appearance in matches since I never liked that my color picks on my armor didn't matter because 99% of modes just painted it red or blue
I haven't been this hyped for a Halo game since Halo 3 ODST and Reach, I feel your passion in this new entry.
Awesome analysis of the game.
I feel like you should review games more often since this is really in depth, and clearly shows a lot of passion.
Agree with basically everything you've said, I am legitimately so happy knowing this game will be in my hands in a couple months. Only things I think need a little more attention from the community are the warthog, and the plasma weapons/shock weapons issue. The warthog felt incredibly floaty, and OD top heavy. It was really frustrating at times, and maybe this is just a me thing but the warthog is genuinely an integral part of Halo's sandbox IMO, Halo 3's Warthog is the blueprint, this feels more like a cross between reach and 4. The Shock weapons are really cool, but they don't even come close to filling the shoes of the plasma based weapons in games past. The plasma pistol feels like an aesthetic choice rather than a combat choice with how weak and impractical it is. The plasma pistol was quite literally make or break in Halo 2, and still essentially indispensable in Halo 3, it's really frustrating to see it at the place it is, especially with the things replacing it being lack luster at best. I also felt that ballistic UNSC weapon types were so much more practical, especially in big team, but that might just me being kind of ass with the Brute and Cov weapons haha. Your Focus on neutral equipment really excited me though, hearing a voice as far reaching as yours succinctly describing how important it is to the Halo sandbox gives me hope that it's still possible to be worked in in the future. Also a bubble shield would make a hugely positive impact on gameplay IMO, the drop wall is a pretty cool idea, but absolutely useless and too one sided. Happy that someone whose not afraid to criticize Halo is this positive on Infinite though, I was worried I was fanboying haha, can't wait for the next era of Halo and really hope someone at 343 is listening because your feedback is bang on IMO.
As someone who never played halo until I was 19, and didn't grow up with the franchise, I'm genuinely excited for Halo fans to finally get a decent game.
Its fiiiiiiiine we only had to wait 9 years

Good review Chris. Love seeing you post stuff you're passionate for.

those halo campaign inspired transitions were AWESOME
Wow, y'all better watch this now before he goes full JonTron and disappears for another 6 months 🤣
I really liked this newest video man. A lot of effort was put here and it shows.
I don't mind waiting for your videos, quality is usually pretty damn high in them.
And hey, you made me a new Halo fan with your vids. That is a achievement in my books.
And with that Ultimate Peter Parker hairstyle and Galaxy Map theme playing, I have to press that like button.
This is my favorite type of content from you, love the hard work!
Excellent video, Chris. Glad you've been having fun with Halo again. Can't wait for December and more videos . Hope you're keeping well man.
Going back to halo 3 after infinite it just feels really weird. Especially since like 60% of the sandbox is pretty useless
Bungie always needed more dev time,but MS mistreated their golden goose. H3 is still the blueprint despite its faults.
@@BattleBrotherCasten yup halo 3 had better overall feel to it over h2. Even though h2 is my favorite, h3 is a better game.
As for infinite I'm not sure how I feel. When I see the game play videos it just doesn't scream Halo. Maybe I'm wrong I'll definitely give it a shot, but I don't got high hopes for it.
@@BattleBrotherCasten ehhh microsoft had nothing to do with the balancing of Halo's sandbox. Affecting campaign and multiplayer maps development sure but the weapon sandbox? That's all bungie's decision. It was the same for Destiny aswell
@@khalduras784 Dev time=testing and balancing the sandbox..so yeah..Halo2 needed another two years and H3 needed another year...Halo 4 needed another two years...there’s a pattern.
@@BattleBrotherCasten which they had alot of time to do after launch which they decided to spend more time creating map dlcs instead. A trend they also decided to continue for Halo Reach and Destiny 1
Not to mention influential devs such as Marty also express that they genuinely do think their sandbox is just fine and good.
Just looking at Behemoth makes me FEEL something. Like a mix of nostalgia, excitement, and some emotions I just don't know what they are called.
I'm just glad Chris really likes Infinite and isn't disappointed with it like with halo 5 and 4.
0:30 The way your hair swayed in at the intro was really cinematic tbh, like... animated? IDK, but caught my attention and was pretty sick bro
"There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now?"
chris puts more effort into these halo videos than most hollywood directors put into their movies. ive never been a halo fan, ive played halo 3 once a couple years ago, but just his pure passion and love for the series is making me really hyped for halo infinite, and i will absolutely be playing it (especially since its free)
Hello there
Edit: Just finished the video. I was able to catch one of the RUclips streams and I was wondering if you still feel that Bazaar is a much better map in CTF? Good video.

These Halo videos and your clear excitement have gotten me so hyped to play Infinite that I'm slowly going through each Halo and going through the ones I missed. Been having a blast reliving 1 and 2. Thank you.
I despise armor coatings. Most in the pass I feel are kinda ugly. Chances are, I'm gonna use the Razer one and that's it. I equipped green/grey coating, didn't care every time I got a new one.
No Jeff Steitzer in BTB was disappointing.
Those were really my only complaints. It's a god damn blast.
They have to make money somehow
Capture the Flag on Valhalla was one of my fave objective type game, I'm looking forward to Infinite, and your words give some good hope.
I missed Chris...sidenot Chris if you read this you're literally a carbon copy of a friend of mine. The only difference is you're hair color and you don't look starved.
You and The Act Man are my go-to halo guys I love hearing you guys talk about it
Alright Chrissy Boy, inject this Halo vid straight into my veins. Please don’t give me 5G reception, I still have antlers from the Phizer 😂
Id be so down to watch. 5 hour „Green man on ring world“ video of chris going over all the games in this way. God hes so good at articulating his thoughts authentically but also making it entertaining. Please never stop doing what you love Chris :)
Godmcfuck i just saw he used the „green man“ joke already. Dang it
Being stuck at a hotel because of mold taking over my family's house, this is definitely the type of stuff I need to pass the time. Good on you mate, can't wait to see what you think of a game I wouldn't be able to play for the foreseeable future but looks like fun
As soon as I saw Chris put up a video about a game I can say we are both equally passionate about I was like. YES! SOMEONE WITH SOME DAMN SENSE
DADDY'S BACK WITH THE MILK
I adore the editing and storytelling in the intro! You really leveled up bruh!
"Is this game actually good?" - Dunkey
Sweet, I'm pretty excited to play this. I haven't really played Halo MP since Halo 3 and this one just looks so good! I just have to get used to the TTK again as all these newer/tactical shooters TTK is extremely short. Still, glad it's F2P so I can get in there and see if it's something I feel like getting into! Excellent video, sir!
This is depressing now
I remember back over a decade, in 2008, my uncle had lost a very scarily swift battle against leukemia. I, a ten year old just barely understanding life, was shocked, confused, depressed, and scared. He was a man of consideration and inspiring amounts of care. He married my direct aunty, and died less than a month later. But before they even married, he still treated us with care and love. Before he had died, he had bought an xbox 360 and halo 3 for my brother and I, which we later received after his funeral. We hooked it up, booted halo 3, and listened to the opening music for what felt like forever. I still remember it sitting on the main menu, the men with their baritone voices vocalizing what i could only assume is the song you hear as you enter the afterlife, and it instantly taking my breath away. My other uncle, blood related, spent many hours helping us beat the campaign on legendary, as my little brother and I practiced on normal while he wasn’t visiting. August 19th, 2008 was the birth of my love for halo. I later collected halo: combat evolved, 2, ODST, Reach (including the limited edition console and statue of noble team), 4, and 5. Not only am i proud to see their return to a more memorable and palatable look for halo, I am happy that blossoms fond memories back in my head if a man who would have enjoyed it as well. Rest in peace Miguel Gonzalez.
Welcome back halo.
“Sir, finishing this fight”
Chris Raycism back again after months away with playing Halo.

This is the sneakiest stream highlights video I've ever seen.
It's going to be a fun game, but I feel they deviated too much from what people truly wanted.
They are trying to get the majority of people, to like Halo, that's never going to happen, if it didn t happen back in the day with the original trilogy it's not going to happen 15 to 20 years later.
Halo in comparison to BF, COD, Counter strike and Overwatch could almost be considered niche, by the monstrous fanbases those games gathered over the years, not that it means they re better games, I personally don't believe they're, just a LOT more popular.
They'll try and they'll fail in their endeavor to cater to as much people as possible, COD fans, will go back to COD, BF fans will go back to BF, Warzone and Fortnite are still humangous amongst the kiddos who 343i is obviously trying to pull in with its T rating, Apex is still big, Splitgate will add their version of "Forge" pretty soon and of course, Overwatch 2 when it does come out, it will be again, an absolute monster.
Most people will point to how broken or overrated those games are, well, how much you want to bet a lot more people will buy and play COD Vanguard than they will play a F2P Halo MP even on the Xbox?
It happened with Halo 3 and COD Modern Warfare, it will happen again.
Halo is for Halo fans, trying to modernize it in any way shape or form, will kill it in the long run, which is exactly what this game as set out to do.
Speaking of interactivity, imagine CE's boarding party expanded a bit with a space battle (ships flying through the middle lane similar to terminal but varied.) Sorry I've just always wanted this map back. It was a bad map (for that game) with a great idea and it deserves to be considered.
An Invasion map designed around the boarding parties like the first levels of CE and Halo 2 would be incredible
This didn't age well...
I think you’re totally right about Halo Infinite. I only got to play a little bit during the flight - with shitty college wifi mind you - and still had a great time. Totally excited for December.
Also love your usage of music from the games throughout the vid.
As a bit of a younger fan, I was brought up on Halo 3, it made me really sad playing games like halo 5 because I felt like I'd never be able to capture the feeling of playing halo 3 with my dad on my xbox 360, cuz it was amazing fun even if we both sucked. This really feels like I'm gunna be able to have a great time with it again, and I cant wait to try it out
That helmet shot with shifting focus at 4:25 was so cool.
I guess this seeming a backhanded complement is unavoidable but i kinda forgot you did High Quality vids such as this one. Great work :) !
This guy's going to name his firstborn "Sandbox."
Aight fams, Chris is no longer running a political channel. We've grown past the need for political channels, we talking halo and vidyas from now on.
Hell yeah, I have no means to play this but I'm still super invested in your enjoyment of the game. These videos are great and I look forward to Decembers update
