well it did kickstart the entire saga. technically the first mission on the autumn was just the prologue. so this very scene started everything in this entire story. a story that has been now 20 year's in the making.
0:50 this shot is such a masterpiece. Keyes pulling a power move by divebombing the Pillar of Autumn onto Halo, trumpets blaring as Covenant plasma slams into the side, the lifeboat so close you can almost hear the engines pushing.
Despite the hundreds of times I've played Halo CE, I only just realized that the pillar of autumn turned and actually overtook the pod, I originally thought the pod did a 180 and flew under the autumn for dramatic effect
@@mwbgaming28 yup, "Keyes is going in manual" our homeboy is straight nosediving the autumn singlehandedly into halo and survives the crash. We know how he dies tho RIP :(((
@@hermitguy102 He's on a lifeboat and shoots a cloaked elite, the first elite to be named, in the head, and tells the marine that it's a good pistol, after asking the marine to inspect it, before using it on the elite.
This scene, more than any other scene in movies and games, imo, captures the sheer sense of scale with a moving body. The Autumn isn’t moving slow like in today’s common depictions of titanic machines. It’s moving fast. And, unlike other attempts, in this scene you feel it.
It's not all of it because billions a people remember him saying "we will," which was even more bad ass, even if none of them did make it. It was the start of many cool scenes of master chief to kick off the games flow for how much of a cool uplifting person he is, i stop playing the "Remade version because not only did they removed that critical simple sentence, they lie and make it dam near impossible to find the original one, everyone that still as a strong working brain remembers saying "i guess not" as well when they crashed landed and you see that no one but you made it, and 343 is not at all the people i want serving up my halo, they tryed to remove the soul of it in their snakish ways! I Will not have any of that, it's a bloody sham. No thank you!
Its clear anyone whos watching this video that Halo had a huge impact on us and our childhoods. The shot and atmosphere at 0:51 till the end is so incredible. The way the pillar of autumn complete dwarfs the escape pod, and the camera shakes as the plasma explodes on both sides. The trumpets heroically blare as the marines venture to unknown terrortiy in the emptiness of space. "Heads up everyone, this is it" 1:03 the Drop pod begins to burn up in the atmosphere, Cortana voices her concern and the Chief stays stoic and confident. 1:08 this shot is incredible and there's no turning back, Cortana remarks "If I still had fingers they'd be crossed." Which is a great line, the trumpets are louder than ever and in moments we would all step onto the Halo ring for the first time. Truly a magical moment in our lives.
I always thought that this cutscene, although badass, was a little strange. I'm now just realizing why! The escape pod, the Autumn, and Covenant plasma beams all made no sound ! I'm so used to hearing laser sounds in space battles, but of course in reality there would be none. This realization makes me love this scene even more!
Way back when, my friend was watching me play and at 1:11 he didn't realize difference between Cortana's voice and the pilot's and he said "What?! Is she driving with stubs???"
At 0:45 its like the marine doesn't know that the plan is to land on the ring and also believes the pilot is on pot and says "Marijuana! She's been hit!"
coming back and reliving these scenes as an adult and not a dumb kid, i have a much better appreciation of the background details and how godly it was for its time
Halo is the reason why I still have an Xbox Original, I got Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2. Never had Halo 3 tho. This scene is the opening for one if the greatest missions in video games. We have to protect as many Marines we can.
“Most of the crew-not to mention your fellow jarheads-will be leaving the ship in lifeboats. They'll ride to the surface in air-conditioned comfort, sipping wine, and nibbling on appetizers. Not you, however. Oh no, you're going to leave the Pillar of Autumn in a different method. Tell me boys and girls... how will you leave?"
Tragic really, everyone on board that pod dies except for the Chief, and he only survives because of his armour. Crash still knocked him out for some time. "We'll be fine" barely chief, barely.
it has been now 20 year's since this very game first came out. so halo has been in our heart's for 2 decade's. no other shooter's have ever come close. i say let us all pay tribute to this very scene that kickstarted it all.
Not sure it’s the most badass line but the ending scene of ‘pillar of autumn’ in CE. Cortana says: “Wouldn’t you rather take a seat?” Chief: “We’ll be fine” All this time, it always stuck with me.
And this scene ladies and gentlemen would ultimately kickstart the greatest Xbox video game series and Master Chief into global stardom!! Always will be a part of my childhood and Master Chief John 117 will forever be my one true hero even as a fully grown man over 20 years later.😎😎🔥🔥
It took me until last year to realize the marine was talking about the autumn, I always just thought it was panicked screaming about having to land on a space ring
she was a physical AI onboard the autumn where she could technically cross her AI fingers, But since in this scene she's present in Chief's Mjolnir Suit Architecture she,s technically in the background unable to cross her fingers
man, i miss games like this. halo 2 wasnt even as good. and havnt even tried 3 yet. But every part was just taken to the extreme. Keyes flighing the pillar into halo. echo 419's selfless decisions. epic
God! This scenes is so epic! I remember the first time I watched and played this and landing on the ring. THIS was a whole new experience. The way Halo unfolds before you as you exit the Humble Bee has to be the most fantastic experience I have ever had since day one! Halo is so beautiful and technological. I want to live there when I die! 😌
Theory: master chief is dead. He was killed in the crash landing of this escape pod and the events of the halo series were just his final thoughts before dying.
@armorhide406 On the original soundtrack, it's called "Brothers in Arms". On the re-recorded Anniversary soundtrack, it's known as "Bravery, Brotherhood".
keep in mind these rings are 10,000 miles in diameter, and at the speed it appeared to be going at, they'd hit the surface in probably under a minute, meaning they were going anywhere between 350,000 to 600,000 miles per hour in that drop pod.
too bad that the 0:35 proportions of stuff are completely destoyed by how fast is the landscape moving and how close the shuttle is from the Ring, making it seem too big compared with its actual size
I am wrong in saying that 117 has magnets or anti gravity boots? Would it be fair to ask, if not impact... what killed those marines? It does look like a rough landing, but all of them?
Reminder that by chief not wearing a seatbelt, he basically turned into a 4000kg pinball and pulverised the entire crew on impact.
Honestly, Chief should have just laid flat on the floor of the lifeboat.
“Nothing we could’ve done...”
@@BigTylt He wouldve went flying on impact anyways
Ackshually, the fandom wiki lists him at 451.3 kilograms in armor. But yeah, that's enough to have a bad day if you're a marine.
Im ur 100th like!!
the coolest halo cutscene ever made
And 343 ruined it, please, please, try to remember how it really was. Too many people have lost their memories, plz don't tell me your another one.
@@Silverphoenix36912 what do you mean?
Best Halo scene
well it did kickstart the entire saga. technically the first mission on the autumn was just the prologue. so this very scene started everything in this entire story. a story that has been now 20 year's in the making.
@@Silverphoenix36912 Can you tell me how 343 ruined it other than changing the design of the ring?
The guy that voices the marine that shouts "the Autumn, she's been hit" died of cancer 3 years later at the young age of 19 :(
Do you know the name of the voice actor?
Shavir Harrysunker
It was Brian Morden.

0:50 this shot is such a masterpiece. Keyes pulling a power move by divebombing the Pillar of Autumn onto Halo, trumpets blaring as Covenant plasma slams into the side, the lifeboat so close you can almost hear the engines pushing.
Right??? I got goosebumps at that. I just imagine Keyes telling the pilots, "move over- I'll take this one"
I get chills, AND tears every time I see this cutscene.
It's so badass such an iconic scene

Turns out he was kind of wrong :(

The Autumn isn’t moving slow like in today’s common depictions of titanic machines. It’s moving fast. And, unlike other attempts, in this scene you feel it.
which I think is awesome of bungie considering it's the pod thats moving in that screen the while the autumn is static
When master chief taps that marine on the shoulder. Hero move

I was fortunate to have an uncle at just the right age to get this when it came out and let me experience it with him.
We'll be fine
@HAPPYSEBAS11 lol

I'm so used to hearing laser sounds in space battles, but of course in reality there would be none.
This realization makes me love this scene even more!
yeah it's cool, you hear vibrations when the camera is inside the pod but silence outside (same with the ending)
Yeah. But in the remaster they added sound effects in space which kinda ruined the cutscene for me. So original all the way.
Way back when, my friend was watching me play and at 1:11 he didn't realize difference between Cortana's voice and the pilot's and he said "What?! Is she driving with stubs???"
+advancedmicro Cortana and the pilot were both voiced by Jen Taylor, so I guess that's understandable
I was also a retarded kid and thought Cortana's voice, and when she said "if I still had fingers they'd be crossed" I said Ew
I actually had a dream about this scene last month.
At 0:45 its like the marine doesn't know that the plan is to land on the ring and also believes the pilot is on pot and says "Marijuana! She's been hit!"
Lol 😂
oh my god I can't unhear it now
coming back and reliving these scenes as an adult and not a dumb kid, i have a much better appreciation of the background details and how godly it was for its time
Its very well directed
The lieutenant flying the pod was the real unsung hero of halo, rest easy queen

Hilarious delivery of those lines, I might add.

TO FUCKING BAD!!!!!!

This is by far the greatest cutscene in video game history
When I was younger I thought that the autumn is stationary and the save pod is going in reverse extremely fast
Your not wrong. In the developer commentary the autumn isn’t moving, they just pan the camera around the lifeboat to make it seem like it is.
1:07 I absolutely love the delivery of this line lol
Marine: where going Make aren’t we sir I don’t want die out here?
Chief: pat him shoulder (sorry marines your going all die)
This will always be my favorite cut seane in any halo game
It took me until last year to realize the marine was talking about the autumn, I always just thought it was panicked screaming about having to land on a space ring
Maybe the coolest line in history. "We'll be fine"
Captain Keyes was the definition of ride or die.
Damn it keyes, going in manual right there
This one and the savannah in halo reach fighting against the covenant corvette are my favorite visual sequences in halo
Reminder that chief definitely bounced around the escape pod like a ping pong ball killing all the marines since he didn’t sit down
0:35 This part of the view of the center of the galaxy is so unrecognised but adds so much atmosphere to the game.
"if I still had fingers, they'd be crossed"
Implying Cortana *used* to have fingers?
She's a clone of Catherine Halsey's mind so I guess she'd probably have memories of a body
she was a physical AI onboard the autumn where she could technically cross her AI fingers, But since in this scene she's present in Chief's Mjolnir Suit Architecture she,s technically in the background unable to cross her fingers
We'll be fine
How do u know
SPARTANS NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!
Always MIA, never KIA
Little did they know they were landing on an artifact their ancestors built.
The new anniversary edition cut scene is pale compared to this original one.
Yeah, the original cutscenes beat out most of the CE anniversary cutscenes.
I don't see how besides the soundtrack and the groahics there the same frame for frame
Graeme Spence No, they’re not.
As a kid this was so freakin epic still gives me chill bumps
Same here, how does that even work lmfao
man, i miss games like this. halo 2 wasnt even as good. and havnt even tried 3 yet. But every part was just taken to the extreme. Keyes flighing the pillar into halo. echo 419's selfless decisions. epic
And that's when it all started :')

0:21 Were gonna make it are we sure? i wanna die out here.
Can’t imagine being in that situation as a marine must be schocking af
God imagine if with a proper remaster you'd see a lot of other escape pods and pelicans flying down at the same time
There could be a remaster...
The autumn, she's been derp derpy derped
Theory: master chief is dead. He was killed in the crash landing of this escape pod and the events of the halo series were just his final thoughts before dying.
the game should have ended where the next cutscene began, showing dead Master Chief.
first time i saw this i was 13, i knew i wold love scifi..! :D
“We’re gonna make it, aren’t we sir? I don’t wanna die out here!” Oh we’ll make it. And by we I mean me and my digi waifu
Dude, i know man, i dont think ill ever forget my first play through ever
@armorhide406 On the original soundtrack, it's called "Brothers in Arms". On the re-recorded Anniversary soundtrack, it's known as "Bravery, Brotherhood".
HOLD FAST CAPTAIN
0:25 I like the reassuring shoulder pat from chief. Sucks that all of them but Chief died :(
By we, I mean me and Cortana
- Chief, probably.
The one dislike is truth
This sense gives me goosebumps
Master Chief: “We’ll be fine”
*press X to doubt*
Oh he meant he and Cortana, silly
at 0:05 Chief looks like RoboCop with that stance
epicness is unmeasurable.
no matter what everything that halo is built on. was because of this moment...
believe.
keep in mind these rings are 10,000 miles in diameter, and at the speed it appeared to be going at, they'd hit the surface in probably under a minute, meaning they were going anywhere between 350,000 to 600,000 miles per hour in that drop pod.
I thought it was 5 minutes.
brothers in arms song 📀legend
This is one of the bad ass scene of halo 1.
too bad that the 0:35 proportions of stuff are completely destoyed by how fast is the landscape moving and how close the shuttle is from the Ring, making it seem too big compared with its actual size
1:03---1:08
Made me stand too
1:08 well be fine (everyone else dead 2 min later)
All time classics
This scene is epic.
Will be fine and only he is fine .
I love the music
“We’ll be fine”
badass
I love the scene, even though it doesn't make sense in some areas.
thank u noble 6
RIP Capt Keys
Yes rest in peace captain Jacob keyes a damn fine man
ive always felt super bad that everyone dies upon landing
Punch it.
We’ll be fine.
The autumn, she's been hit!
For lifeboats they do a pretty poor job of keeping those lives living
I suspect that had more to do with chief not wearing a seatbelt than the design of the pod
I blame the bridge they landed the wrong side of on the ring
*Pillar of Autumn The Last Stand*
I like the soundtrack
it is the same soundtrack as halo 3 soundtrack crows nest
Not quite. This version is called brothers in arms.
Nick Ryan no, it's not, it's called brothers in arms
0:55
The music at 0:26 is a fond memory.
I am wrong in saying that 117 has magnets or anti gravity boots? Would it be fair to ask, if not impact... what killed those marines? It does look like a rough landing, but all of them?
Air brakes failed meaning they were coming in Alot faster then the pod was suppose to handle
This is Halo.
..and then they all die.
Best game ever!
The halo series said getting to a halo through a portal is better than this smh
They changed this cutscene in anniversary the ring looks different
Punch it Bishop!
TIANA- SHES BEEN HIT!
