The coolest thing about Halo CE to me was that it seemed like bungie was essentially a bunch of nerds who wanted to make something they thought was cool. It’s incredibly endearing and inspiring.
I remember their motto: "We make games we want to play." That was also really endearing, because it felt like they were no different than the people buying and playing their games. Just a bunch of people who wanted to play good and fun games, same as us.
Now it's super corporate. It's good to know my instincts were accurate, that the original Halos were just a bunch of nerds making something they thought was cool. The inclusion of something like the Breaking Benjamin in Halo 2 was the kind of insanity you'd never see in a modern, corporate game.
Agreed, and with that mentality years later, they sit there and criticize what they could have done better. A sign of a true and dedicated game designer, no matter the impact, it could always be better.
@@DubElementMusic If you give a shit about something you've made, you'll criticise it and its flaws. If you sit there and say it's amazing and there's nothing wrong with it, you probably don't care about what you're doing and/or are really bad at it.

I actually used to the watch the original low quality version all the time when I was bored. The fact that you took the time to remaster this gem is awesome for others to watch. I know it’ll be allot of work but you should work on doing Halo 2 next!
The Halo CE and Halo 2 commentaries are so funny. It’s basically the three of them making fun of their own work and I love it. The Reach one is really boring because it’s just them talking about how great what they made is.
I'm not the worlds biggest Halo fan, but listening to these guys talk about this game just shows how much they loved their own product. Its really beautiful
till this very day I don't understand why the original marine aesthetic wasn't used throughout the original trilogy...it wasn't until reach where they got it right again. the later installments are fun, but there is something really special about halo ce. the mystery, atmosphere, friendly and enemy AI, voice acting, the first ring world...I replay it more than all the halos combined and I'm perfectly happy Bungie at least made one CE, it's so very special and amazing.
The build-up to MC's first direct encounter with The Flood is perfect. It's one of those places where Halo: CE is a brilliant horror story (the chapter The Captain is another)
Even on the disc I got for the HE legendary edition, it isn't nearly as crisp. Of course it isn't 4k though. Love this. "Don't strap a bomb onto Chief's back, do it in the next game." "Cortana being evil was too stupid to do." Basically halo 4 and 5 right there.
@@xBINARYGODx So I can't say that these things were mentioned years ago? When did they strap Bombs to the chief in prior games, and Cortana taking over the galaxy is just as described

i wanna thank the old bungie team. marty o donnell jason jones, joseph staten. i know you guys split, and i know you may never see this but thank you for you guys and your team for making this legendary series. i was 11 years old when i played halo for the first time i played halo back in 2003 and fell in love with it. some of the greatest memories lies in this series. thank you
These three Bungie devs: *Notice how glitching this scene coming up is, just makes my eyes bleed every time looking at it.* Me, an intellectual: *.........WHERE??? I DON'T SEE IT.*
I’m subbing, I held off on watching this for months until I beat the game on heroic, and then I found this! EDIT: They said to call it designer commentary in the video
This is so great seeing these guys relive the creation of such a great part of my teenage years. This game was the envy and desire of everyone who didn’t have an xbox. And it was a huge party game with the system link and some of the first, really well done physics based gameplay. I don’t think in this age of modern games, ppl quite understand what halo meant to ppl back then. It was so unlike anything else and so much more advanced, epic, and social.
Weird thing to note but keys is some how getting away with smoking inside a space ship thousand of years in the future but I cannot have a smoke in the bar today
This looks great! Well done recreating it shot for shot, I know this is a really niche thing not many people care about, but I love both the idea and effort! Thanks for making it!
I really love this video so much. It’s easy to look at a lot of games like they just kinda poofed into existence, or were manufactured on some factory line, but this makes it feel so personal.
I've thought of doing something very similar or the exact same thing, so it's wonderful to know I'm not alone in appreciating and wanting to use stuff from these classic videos and commentaries of Bungie.
@Jack Snyder when you’re coming up on the structure, by where there’s the big fallen tree, on the cliffs you can see them watching you for a brief second before turning around and running away
A lot more than 30 seconds of fun here. I have the legendary edition so I've watched these commentaries like 20 times but it never gets old. They have such a great dynamic. Very entertaining.
45:00 especially after such a chaotic level like Keyes, and for the conclusion to Halo 1, this cinematic is one of my favorites in the Halo series. And The Maw is one of my favorite tracks in the Halo Soundtracks saga.
Does anyone else ever think about the idea that the internet will still exist, hundreds of years from now, and people will be able to listen to the personal accounts of the creators of these games?
I wholeheartedly agree with one of the last things said, "Halo 1 had a beautiful simplicity that does NOT exist anymore" I miss the old Halo.. wish they wrote more books following the actual games.. (yes Ive read what's out there lol)
@@LordSlappyDawg He seems to have used the Refined maps with the HD hud and stuff but yeah there are a lot of things that can’t be fixed by modders. The version on MCC was recently updated so it’s actually the closest to the Original Xbox version of the game. They even fixed the broken bump mapping
@@dextergrif1052 Yeah I actually saw that a while back! I haven't played a whole lot of CE lately and haven't gotten to see changes in the later levels for myself, but I have seen I think GeneralKidd cover it
It’s nice just to watch and listen to someone cool, laid back, funny, and casual like these video game commentaries to relive yourself from serious life issues. Halo commentaries are pure genius
Yeah it really is, best campaign and the weapons are all good. No plasma nerfs against flesh, shotgun rocks, magnum is a beaut. I've replayed CE the most.
Best campaign to replay as well. I can only replay Halo 3 and especially Halo 2 so many times until I get bored. CE on the other hand I still replay to this day barring the library. There is something about CE's sandbox that makes it the most fun in the series for me, plenty of tools to cause chaos and awesomeness.
I think it would've been pretty funny to have Johnson walk around that central pillar thing in the shortsword in a ferris bueller robe brushing his teeth and saying "Where ya been?" or something like that
Jason really is way more critical than anyone. What else do you expect from a manager? Make a a world class masterpiece and they’re still going to nitpick every tiny detail they don’t personally like
such a fun video, thank you. Its interesting how little they talk about the library but in the speedrun reaction they talk a lot about the first build and that no one play tested it. Interesting them saying they liked it, I mean technically I liked it to but I wish it was half as long. It is one of my least favorite for that reason alone
What I like that Spv3 did was it actually did some of those ideas such as the marine shooting himself as soon as you turn the corner and added paint it black.
It blows my mind when I think about how Halo was supposed to he a one off game with no EU and the Covenant war was just background information to justify shooting the enemies. Halo was supposed to be a more interesting version of Quake or Doom before MS bought Bungie. All of the dialogue, detail, and world building in the actual game was never supposed to play into such an epic franchise.

What I like that Spv3 did was it actually did some of those ideas such as the marine shooting himself as soon as you turn the corner and added paint it black.
The music, the graphics, the gameplay.... The Nostalgia.
Abso-fucking-lutely amazing that you remastered this, thank you bro
"And who kept shooting Cortana from the back?"
🤣
The Director of Culture, clearly. Lol

It blows my mind when I think about how Halo was supposed to he a one off game with no EU and the Covenant war was just background information to justify shooting the enemies.
Halo was supposed to be a more interesting version of Quake or Doom before MS bought Bungie. All of the dialogue, detail, and world building in the actual game was never supposed to play into such an epic franchise.
One of my fav videos of all time that's also about one of my fav games of all time, thanks for doing this bro :)))
No problem dude.
I love these guys
