    fun fact: This Halo song was made for free because Breaking Benjamin were huge fans of Halo.

      @RickySama240 7 месяцев назад +52

      Though they did it for free it totally worked out for the game's reputation. Halo fans who made YT videos used this song on their montages. ❤

      I don't make comments announcing if I got something to a certain number of likes, largely because I feel there's no need to. That being said, your comment is now at 343 likes

    In the original Halo 2 this song plays towards the end the level Gravemind in the Covenant Holy City High Charity. It's the very difficult part where Cortana says "You might want to sit this one out," and the Brutes are fighting the Elites and Hunters. There's no lyrics in the game version, it's just the instrumental version of the song. I'm not sure why it wasn't included in the Anniversary edition, maybe the game studio didn't want to pay Breaking Benjamin more money.

    • @ZacTheFirst
      @ZacTheFirst 7 месяцев назад +20

      It’s still there in old graphics, so it wasn’t at risk of being removed from the game or anything if they didn’t pay to renew copyright or something. They genuinely just wanted a new song for new graphics

    isn't Halo 2 unironically the coolest thing ever?
    This song is about the Master Chief. "I'll be the one to save us all."
    Breaking Benjamin realized the severity of the state of Humanity in Halo, and Master Chief ended up getting 'lucky' and saving Humanity while simultaneously destroying the Covenant.
    This ended up aging very well. Long live Halo lol

    Ah yes....the theme song of when you just suddenly 'switch on' in Halo multiplayer and proceed from getting stomped to pulling a Killionaire in under a minute....or so the Halo 2/3 montages from back in 2007 would have me believe.

    It WAS in one of the missions on the original

    There was a big controversy with Breaking Benjamin in 2011 where some of the members made an unauthorized remix of this very song, without the permission of the lead singer. This led to those members being fired by him.

    This song coming on at the end of Halo 2 is pretty much up there with Faunts M4 Part 2 playing at the credits of Mass Effect in terms of "Unexpected but very welcome licensed music" in a game.

    Are you planning on playing Halo ODST before jumping into Halo 3? I would definitely recommend that you do. Because ODST happens during Halo 2 and the first parts of Halo 3. But there are no spoilers for Halo 3 so no worries.

  • @Guaseth
    @Guaseth 7 месяцев назад +1

    Yeah, the anniversary version of H2 is amazing but this song is what makes me the game, specially Gravemind on original graphics, and I'm not even a BB fan, but this song is just the correct vibe to that Covenant civil war crossfire, even without the very appropriate lyrics (in-game, it is an instrumental version)

    The rest of the banda make another version with Valora without asking Ben
    So they couldn't use the song

They were in a legal battle over the rights to the name Breaking Benjamin (which Ben won since he IS Breaking Benjamin). They've since returned with an even better lineup and 2 new albums
