Good to see that it's legacy will live on. This is where many of us came into the machinima community, made many friends and experienced life in a bold new way. Thank you again Arbiter for all your hard work, the memories, and many awesome and funny times we had body-acting this. Truly a humbling experience. Keep pressing forward! We will always be watching.
He did it with an editing trick called "masking". Search on youtube for exactly how to do it. You can only have 16 players in the game so masking makes it looks like there's a lot more.
This is definetly the best Halo Reach machinima. Anything past Season 7 of red vs blue doesn’t fully count as I machinima. With that being said, season 6 and 7 of red vs blue are amazing.
@@MCernoble when the animation starts coming into play, it shifted to being a machinima to a machinima with animation. It still focused on the game until RvB Zero came around. Welp, all good things must come to an end.
Pretty sure it used to have millions before machinima abandoned them and copyright striked em in the end even tho it was made for machinima or something like that
I can’t even lie I nearly started crying thinking about the good old days, of Reach, of Machinima, all of it. So many good memories, I just didn’t want it to end but it did and truth be told it hurts.
This is a series I haven't thought of in a long time. Last time I watched it I was somewhere in my teens back when this was on his main channel. It feels so weird to essentially come back to part of my childhood. I still remember waiting months for the next part of the series to drop, and how me and my friends would watch it when it came out. I'm in the middle of college now, amidst a global pandemic, and yet I still find comfort in reliving some of these moments. It's genuinely impressive how this still mostly holds up more than half a decade later. Just remembering this golden era of halo machinimas is so nostalgic, as this existed alongside series like KnightmareFilmz's "The Running Dead" and back when RoosterTeeth's Red vs. Blue series was still in it's prime, and well before the divisiveness of Halo 4 and general let down of Halo 5. It's sad to see how a lot of these artists have moved on, but it warms my heart that all this content is still around years later, and maybe the release of Halo Infinite will bring a spark back to this era of machinimas.
yea man for some reason the series popped nto my head again and i decided to check it out. not gonna lie, i thought black plasma studios was a dead channel by now since machinima is dead too, jsut to discover that they have 6 million subs and even mroe million views! was glad the he continued and created something even bigger, tho rise of the spartans will always be his baby i guess
“Won’t we be hero’s when we rise up as the last Spartans?” Master chief, blue team, red team, black team, Jun from noble team, and literally every other Spartan team that didn’t die: *simultaneously* listen here you little-
After watching this series in 5th grade, I am back at 20 years old... reliving one of the greatest cinematic experiences I have and will continue to ever have
I remember waiting until every single episode came out when I was 7-8 and I rewatched it again in 2018 and now it’s 2020 and I’m In the 8th grade now about to be a freshman and now I’m about to rewatch this again tomorrow. This will always be my favorite machinima and a link to my child hood forever. It gets me sad that it came out so long ago and I’m older now. I wish I could go back without my memory of watching this and having the joy of waiting for every episode to come out. Nothing will ever be as good as this to me.
i still come back to watch this series to this day man i loved this as a kid now i’m an adult man probably the greatest thing i’ve ever layed my eyes on
Coming back to this in 2023 cause to me it’s one of the few series from this era that rivaled RVB in production value and care for what it was. Will always have fond memories of ROTS!
I just want to say, this is what Halo always should've been, and saddens me to see the state of Halo, and the state of Studios, so what I'm saying is thank you David, and please for the love of god do something other than Minecraft.
RUclips, I’m not quite sure what you’re playing at… recommending this to me after all these years… but I’ll allow it, and watch it again once more, having grown since seeing this premier all those years ago, when simply playing Reach seemed like an event in itself. It’s good to be back
Man, me and my brothers would be so excited for a new episode to drop. Once it came out we gathered all around the TV or computer.. good times! My brother was an extra for the last episode which was cool af
I'm about to start watching this series again from the very beginning for the first time in years. This series was a gem and I hope it's just as good as I remember it to be, can't wait. And in advance, I want to thank Arbiter617, all the voice cast, actors and everybody else who contributed and supported Rise of the Spartans throughout its development. You guys have made histroy in the Halo Community. I hope the experience has led you all to great places.
Its sad that copyright made you take down the originals :( But at least its legacy will live on. I remember watching these all the way back in 2011 once I got into halo.
Started rewatching this great series again. Still amazing. I remember talking to all the cast in matchmaking lobbies etc. That was the best part about H:R Machinimas.
It’s absolutely insane how I was watching this in sixth grade and now I’m graduated from high school. This series was by far the peak of story telling in the halo community and told one of the most in depth stories gaming has ever seen.
It feels like I'm seeing a old friend from when I was young. Coming back just fills me with nostalgia. This show is what shot me into the world of shows, and so much more when I was a kid. Thank you for the memories
I’m coming back to watch all of these for the 10th time. I remember back when I was still in school and benge watched this Bc I couldn’t cut it off. The best fan made Halo story ever. Honestly should be part of the Halo series!😂 Ngl
It really should be! if you're interested in Halo Machininmas my friend the King Kaden makes some and i know how much hard work he puts in them! but yeah
@@coolerbeans1566 I’d love to make a Machinima. But I don’t have anyone who would do it with me. So instead I just wrote books from my ideas for them. Obviously not to be published lol
Because halo 5 is dogshit. This is like the classic halos like when they were actually good unlike 343 in which probably there best game is halo wars 2 followed by halo 4 but only because of the story line in halo 4
Why am I so addicted to the battle on Boardwalk? For that matter, why am I so addicted to ALL of the battle choreography in this show? These guys just did battles so freaking well, I can't get over it.
Because modern halo games are terrible platforms to create machinima, and halo 3/reach machinimas have been beaten into the ground so much that no one wants to do them anymore
@@ronthomason8388 With the return of the classic artstyle I was very much hoping that Infinite would herald a new age of Halo Machinima. I guess no playable Elites or Forge at launched stopped that from happening. What a shame, as I really miss these days
I watched all of these when it first came out. Binged watched em all night, absolutely loved them and tbh I may or may not have cried on a lot of the deaths, 😅 brings back a lot of good memories. The whole thing is really well done!
God I remember the first time I watched this series, how it helped me get through the 6 & 7th grades and how I was enthralled with every episode with baited breath. . I love this series and I honestly thank BPS for making such a wonderful series. I wish I could say more but it would take up more space than youtube allows.
Idk if this channels video is the one I left a comment on all those years ago when I first watched these videos and I don’t have time to look through them to find out. I’ll say though this machinima has aged like fine wine. I’ll never forget this was the series that first got me into doing RUclips. In the start it was to make machinimas like this, but I was so scared I couldn’t make one good enough to stand a chance against this that I never made one besides a pilot that never went anywhere. Now that I’m older though I know that if you never do it you’ll never know if you can, and just like started rewatching this gave me the inspiration to start trying again. To me this series is just as much a part of Halo as any one of the games. Damn fine work my friends.
rewatching this i can only imagine how cool and more badass this series would be if the repusler and grapple had existed back in the reach days. so many stunts that weren't possible before could have been possible in this
I remember watching this back when I was barely getting into halo and this was all I watched. Now watching this brings back so much memories it's crazy. I know I'm a little late but thank you for having such an impact on my life

Captainbob1338
Wah-waah-waaaaahhhh
Oof
Captainbob1338 You're not wrong tbh, Halo 4 was great.. 5 not so much but this was and still is an amazing story
True... oh so true
@@tnzn4951 well for me was like a halo reach 2.0 with several improvements, they had almost same plot, spartan squad ,they want to fight and kick covies ass, covies had bigger guns and even they tried to make a resistence and last stand plans they end up all killed even these spartans died almost as same order of noble team
Chaingun guy died first(brass)
Girl of the team(whisper)
Commander(nightflash)
CQC expert(ocelot)
CQC and commander were inverted, ocelot died earlier than nightflash
Last guy standing(swift)
The only diference was they all got revived at the end and some minimal plot twists and also the setting is a halo ring, but indeed was a massive improvement and a good story
It isnt fair to compare this to halo 4 cause halo 4 told a personal chief story while Rise of the spartans was a massive event like the one of reach ,while in halo 4 it had the feeling of isolation and loneliness cause you really are, you have no allies and the ones you had you had them for about 3 misdions and that was it
And h5 story was a little fun ,but storywise it was crap get out from the middle of the trashcan.all of these are just my opnions and some facts.
And here I find myself, 7+ years later, watching this masterpiece
There will never be another one like it
Facts !
Same here man
Same here brother
This is indeed the official new channel for Rise of the Spartans.
Good to see that it's legacy will live on. This is where many of us came into the machinima community, made many friends and experienced life in a bold new way. Thank you again Arbiter for all your hard work, the memories, and many awesome and funny times we had body-acting this. Truly a humbling experience. Keep pressing forward! We will always be watching.
Black Plasma Studios you should probably put all of the halo stuff here, such as all the game nights
He did it with an editing trick called "masking". Search on youtube for exactly how to do it. You can only have 16 players in the game so masking makes it looks like there's a lot more.
Ronald Thomason wrong person lol, u meant to send that to silver crescent instead right
Black Plasma Studios whats the music at 11:38
I'll never forget watching this series in 5th and 6th grade. Watching this back brings some good memories. Thanks for the awesome story :)
Same
I grew up on halo ce and halo 2. I’ve been playing them ever since. How have I not seen this until now? I’m in digging 10th grade!
@@spongeborgtheford4971 halo machinma's, especially good ones are hard to come by.
same!!
Same bro same :)
The amount of nostalgia from this series is baffling
Idk if I’m the only one that returned to get some good memories of my childhood
Definitely not
Your not. It’s even more sad to know that David (Arbiter 617) is apparently a pedo. Which is part of the reason why BPS is under a different name now.
Too bad Arby got exposed a few months back for being a predator and groomer.
@@markdaddy6754yeah it’s a real shame
@@markdaddy6754Wait, seriously?! That’s such a shame… //:
This turns 7 years old tomorrow. Respect to the best halo machinima series ever created
Brandon Hughes red vs Blue is better but man this is good
@@scabash true but this definitely not far behind imo in terms of voice acting and script.
Rvb are actually funny
This is definetly the best Halo Reach machinima. Anything past Season 7 of red vs blue doesn’t fully count as I machinima.
With that being said, season 6 and 7 of red vs blue are amazing.
@@MCernoble when the animation starts coming into play, it shifted to being a machinima to a machinima with animation. It still focused on the game until RvB Zero came around. Welp, all good things must come to an end.
"Some people move on, but not us."
Halo: Reach is the game with the most memories I've collected, and this? This is one of my proudest.
This and Red vs Blue are the greatest Halo machinimas of all time such classics.
I remember watching this when I was like 12, I'm 20 now and still love it
I remember when I watch this series back in middle school it was the best
I come back every now and then to re watch these. I loved them as a kid
Oh the nostalgia 😭
Even after all these years I still find myself coming back to this masterpiece of a story
How are you mate?
I remember running into Arbiter in a halo reach lobby like 6 years back when I was younger and totally freaking out. Great memories!
RIP 1 million view count
Ikr, such a huge audience and now it's gone 😞
but im here now, im new and is good
Teo thought they kept getting flagged for music copyright
Pretty sure it used to have millions before machinima abandoned them and copyright striked em in the end even tho it was made for machinima or something like that
I was eight when I first watched this. I just started high school now...Time flies by.
Sat here with insomnia at 4am, and just remembered this series, come back for a rewatch. Taken me back to my youth haha.
With Halo: reach finally being put in the master chief collection, I’m filled with the urge to watch this masterpiece again.
Funny isnt it, i started watching this series when i was little... but never finished it... guess its time to finish what ive started
Same
Time to finish the fight.
@@adolfgaming1761 lol yee
“Woah woah woah, Radar just went to shit.” will always be my favorite line out of this entire series.
Sounds pretty intimidating ngl
Pretty good delivery, if we're being honest.
I can’t even lie I nearly started crying thinking about the good old days, of Reach, of Machinima, all of it. So many good memories, I just didn’t want it to end but it did and truth be told it hurts.
I just randomly found the name of this series with part 4 written down in an old notebook of mine. Giving it a watch to see if I remember anything
13:25 "I watch this for the plot"
the drum role for that ass tho
XDD

I'm glad I never changed my gamertag since then. I.e. Carbon Zealot
It is 2022, October and im still rewatching this series. This is the golden standard of what Halo Machinima should be, god, its just so good.

Master chief, blue team, red team, black team, Jun from noble team, and literally every other Spartan team that didn’t die: *simultaneously* listen here you little-
As much as I love this series, there are definitely plenty of lines and scenes that just make ya laugh at their cheesiness, drama, and so forth.
This Reach Series was so good
After watching this series in 5th grade, I am back at 20 years old... reliving one of the greatest cinematic experiences I have and will continue to ever have
I made my gamer tag Nightflash just because of this series

I was an Ark Angel guy.
Oh man.. this is an amazing childhood memory
I wanted to feel nastalga by watching my favorite films/machinima series: Rise of the Spartans. Outta 10 I give this series 1000000

This came out in 2011 though, so you couldn't have been 7 or 8 waiting for new episode if you're going into the 9th grade lmao
Exact same with me
Well here we go again. Time for yet another annual rewatch of this series.
Reach was my first halo game and to see it do so well makes me overjoyed
i still come back to watch this series to this day man i loved this as a kid now i’m an adult man probably the greatest thing i’ve ever layed my eyes on
2019 and still has come back to me😭best film ever made
Back for my yearly watch

I’ve watched this numerous of times when i was younger, thank you for the memories.
Who's watching after Reach pc release?
It’s absolutely insane how I was watching this in sixth grade and now I’m graduated from high school. This series was by far the peak of story telling in the halo community and told one of the most in depth stories gaming has ever seen.
I love the differentiation between the marines, odsts, and spartans so you can tell whose who. Most impressed with the writing too.
I FOUND IT AGAIN 2018 PEEPS
Came back to this in 2020. This brings back memories, what a series

Watching this for the 4th time. Its been a year since. The opening line I started crying!
WHERES MY 2023 CREW AT! Starting off the New year right (yes, it's two days late, but still)
2024 brother, how are you doing ?
Ive been rewatching this over and over and over
Halo 5's story can't compare to this
Because halo 5 is dogshit. This is like the classic halos like when they were actually good unlike 343 in which probably there best game is halo wars 2 followed by halo 4 but only because of the story line in halo 4
Reflecting back on what was created here. Although, maybe not the whole thing aged well, but the lessons are timeless.
Why am I so addicted to the battle on Boardwalk?
For that matter, why am I so addicted to ALL of the battle choreography in this show?
These guys just did battles so freaking well, I can't get over it.
This was so amazing back in the day, my boy got to be an extra and it was so sick
Rewatching at the end of 2021 and this still is as good as when I watched it as a kid
The memories are coming back to me fast.
3 years later and people are still talking about this. Good work boys you left a legacy
God I would love to see this remastered in mcc

Big time nostalgia
This is a Trip Down memory lane right here, I love this
