- I love Halo 3.
In this video I go through Halo 3's campaign and talk about what I like and dislike along the way. I also talk a bit about multiplayer but with Halo 3's old servers being dead I don't spend that much time on it.
I didn't use any of the footage from my livestream the other day because the aspect ratio was screwed up. Playing through it again for the footage I did use set this video back a day 🙃.
I was designer on Crow’s Nest and Halo. Thank you for the nice comments!

@@frogarchist yup!
Some well-deserved praise. Thank you for your part in making this game as awesome, fun, and as replayable as it is! It means a lot to me, and obviously to many others as well.
Halo truly are the best games ever made especially the bungie ones a very hype special time that gaming has never seen since it's me and my lil brothers and sisters while childhood best memories spent bossing these games changed our lives forever truly would love nothing more than to play more halo 3 content
@@tomb8334 I feel like we were born at the peak arc of time to have crossed paths with these legendary IPs.
One of my favorite moments in all of gaming is when Chief and Arbiter find the new Halo being constructed. The shot of them standing there while the ring rises and the music swells in the background is just so good on so many levels.
Never really think of how many feelings are going through their head in that knowing that the Chief blowing it up is what caused the Arbiter to be branded in the first place and shamed.
I agree, always loved that part.
The menu noises, the social features, Image Gallery. We really were spoiled
edit: playing as the arbiter during the covenant would’ve blown my 8 year old brain apart. The moment Arby kills truth could’ve been the definition of satisfaction
Playing as arby in any of the missions would have been nice....
Don't forget the game was finished and playable at launch, that was the biggest thing that spoiled us
Dude THANK YOU! These things don't get enough recognition, the UI style is so ugly in modern games. Hidden Xperia did a great video touching on the subject
@@JuiceboxCE Foreal, I cannot stand modern UI's, especially Infinite's UI, it's so lazy and ugly and feels like a chore to navigate.
Teabagging truth as the arbiter would have tied up a lot of loose ends for me
Halo 3 was not just prime Halo. Halo 3 was the height of entertainment to the point of spawning multi-decade careers, companies and franchises.
This is true
Maybe I'm nostalgic but to me it was the peak of gaming. We haven't quite reached anything like it since and I'm not sure we ever will again (which isn't completely due to Halo, consoles themselves were reaching a peak culturally at around the same time as Halo 3 came out).
I don't know, I just can't think of any other games that had the same impact that Halo 3 did.

Nah
Halo CE >
Halo back in its prime was fucking LEGENDERY.
No. It was *MYTHIC*.
Halo 3 then onto Cod 4 and then World at War my god those were the days
@@droman608 no it was LASO
@@Micmag- no it wasn't , Reach was Halo in it's prime
Can confirm that it’s not nostalgia. I played through all of Halo’s campaigns for the first time about 2 years ago and I’ve replayed all of the Bungie ones. Halo 3 is definitely my favorite campaign in the series for all the reasons you talked about in this video.
I thought it was nostalgia too but yeah same. I played through all the campaigns on legendary & halo 3 is by far the best designed & most fun. It’s perfect
Fun fact, the guy who directed the Starry Night trailer is also the same guy who directed Top Gun: Maverick, which is credited as quite possibly the film that saved Hollywood last year. He's called Joseph Kosinski, and the funny thing is, he only has like 5 feature films to his name, all of which are complete bangers, one of which is an adaptation of a graphic novel he also wrote, and that was all after he made Starry Night. So without Halo, we probably wouldn't have gotten the best movie of 2022. It's seriously unreal just how good the guy is, and Bungie could not have asked for a better man to direct their trailer.
Did not know that
He also did Gears of War Mad World trailer.
I wish he was given the helm of the Halo TV series. Even from the Starry Night short you can see he GETS it
@@saintxrage2311 xbox owes this man big.
Halo 3 should have been Master Chiefs conclusion. If Halo had to keep going, it needed a new mascot and left master chief as a legend, a hero that everyone built their image around.
Halo wars and HW2 could have easily picked up where chief left off by bringing Red Team in and having Jerome the new hero.
I agree completely, every single game after 3 with exception of Reach/odst has just felt lackluster and unnecessary, I think part of why Halo has had such a hard time is because of Microsoft feeding into player greed but not understanding why the original games were good. I've sort of disowned all of the 343 games as non cannon, as far as I'm concerned the Master chief is still out there floating in space waiting to be needed.
Halo 4 was such a slap in the face in comparison. I remember being so hyped, playing it and then being miserable
@boamere4515 everyone I knew was hyped. And being someone hyped for Halo 2 and Halo 3 going to midnight releases for those games and everything... I knew the "hype" for Halo 4 was bullshit before it even started. I tried warning people like you back on 2012... but no one listened. Everyone was saying shit to me like "give 343 a chance" or "you're just bitter because of change"
@@jyrxz4945 nah it shat all over chief as a character and felt like marvel. Not as bad as 5 by any means but definitely not halo.
9:57 Fun fact, the reason it's drastically different from High Charity's real appearance, is because Cortana was originally supposed to take place after Floodgate, hence it looking like the ships we saw in cutscenes instead (save for the out of bounds things, like the Mausoleum of the Arbiter being visible from a distance, etc). Instead, it got repurposed later in the campaign as High Charity.
It explains some oddities about Halo 3, like how Cortana's visions stop happening after Floodgate and resume back in Cortana. There's also some dialogue at the beginning of Floodgate where Keyes tells you to "overload the engine cores", a task you end up doing in Cortana instead.
The cut content of Halo 1-3 is ridiculously fascinating. Halo 2 is arguably the BIGGEST list, just go check out what was supposed to be its ending (a dude uploaded an animated storyboard of it, amazing stuff), or the forerunner tank mission. Halo 3's cut missions relating to the forerunners, the Guardian sentinal from Epitaph, and the level Guardian as a whole being based around these cut levels (the reason why it looks 100% different from the rest of the game and uses so many unique assets)
4:46 The first time I played The Storm as a kid, when I first saw the scarab come down and actually have its own behavior, I remember thinking "Wow, this is the future of gaming". This was in 2012... A very good testament to just how ahead of its time Halo 3 was.
The lobbies of custom games like Fatman, infection, races, etc. that were full of random people will always be a gaming memory I will never forget
Full of random people *that were on public game chat
Not gona lie, life was better when Halo 3 was out in its prime, those were just some really good times man.
know this is late but you'll always have the memories! best shit was using those awful mics that came with the xbox and listening to your friend's entire room in the worst possible quality lol.
@@emilywalla8958 😂😂 those mics were terrible, but in a weird way they had a certain charm to them that i miss, whole lobby going nutts and you couldn't understand a damn word 😂🤌🏽
Halo 3 era, Halos golden years in general, had some of my favorite memories of all time, simpler times lol
It was a better time then, and to be 15 years younger, experiencing this for the first time, not knowing you were making memories and living in the golden age of gaming.
@@theia1653 I think i hsd JUST turned 13, games like that were unprecedented at the time. It was a special era for gaming, im happy as hell to have experienced all of it man
I agree whol heartedly also, it was THE best times. I still still remember when live was fresh, new, playing Halo 2
Havent had experiences like that anymore for sure.
Wages were fair. Rent and living costs were fair. Life was good. Parents were working and happy. If you lived in a good community with long standing roots it was safe.
Everyone talks about “to war” but nobody talks about how she then proceeds to also put away her pistol, and walk back down the stairs the second the level starts
The script needed some revision for sure. They wanted to make Miranda sound like a badass but no, they really need a rally point, Miranda. Or how Truth facetimed them to taunt them how their world will burn until glass. It was good for the trailer and a good line, just that it should've been put in there a better way
I was 13 when the game came out. I have awesome childhood memories playing for hours with my best buddies, ordering pizza and fighting in big team battles. It's been 16 years and TIL I missed the brute chiefting 1v1.
Awesome video bud, keep going!
I was 16 and me and a friend would occasionally skip school just to play, lol. Odds are we've run into each other at some point during multiplayer!
@@Shmandalf Lol We did that sometimes too, mostly on fridays so we had a "longer" weekend.
And also I hope we did run into each other, my friend!
@@Shmandalf Hah, I bought a few Halo figurines as a kid at a open air market yearsssss ago and the guy selling them said the same thing to me
Halo 3 was the first Halo I ever played. I played co-op with my hefty friend at his house as an 8 year old boy and it was before I could even play rated M games myself. It was love at first sight. The next year I somehow convinced my mom I was old enough for "violent video games" and got Halo ODST for christmas and preorderd Halo Reach when that came out the following year. I eventually got a used copy of Halo 3 and played it just as much. Lots of good memories playing ODST and Reach with my friends at sleepovers. They even had xbox stations at our local laser tag place where everyone had their birthday parties at and you could play Halo with 4 players.
You sound so much like a kid who was around 6-7ish when Halo 3 came out who would talk to me about it all the time in Tae-Kwon-Do (sp?) when I was in middle school. I was always so jealous that he got to play it with his dad, but when Halo 3 came out and I hit 13 [when my dad stopped caring about a game's rating], I got it and a 360 for that Christmas alongside the Zelda Collector's Edition on the GC. Those are about my favorite gaming memories so I appreciate this video. If you are somehow that kid in middle Georgia, then goddamn bro, I'm so happy for you making such a quality video, and even if you aren't, the sentiment remains the same. I hope you/him are doing great in life and absolutely enjoying the hell out of theses games and everything else life has to offer.
On tsavo highway, when You 1st encounter the brute choppers when they smash into that warthog, one of the open buildings with guns has a gravity lift equipment.
You can use it to jump the gap on the bridge later in the level and bring a vehicle to fight off the waves of brutes and phantoms.
I like to think most of us met at least once in those epic custom game lobbies.
I was in 7th grade when halo 2 came out. And then 10th grade for halo 3. Those two games right there…. If you were there, then you already know. Nothing has come close to those 2 games and that era 2004-2010. Halo 3 was the peak. I am so happy to have experienced all those late nights of random customs that never ended, big team matches, 4v4 MLG matches, achievement hunting, getting recon armor, rewatching your matches and recording clips and screenshots, looking at the community file share, so many good memories. And to think, those glory years of halo 3 were only 3 short years. From fall of 2007 to fall of 2010 when Reach came out. Then the halo community became split. I cannot believe halo 2 will be turning 20 this year. That really makes me feel old and how fast time actually goes by.
Lmao the vid end caught me off guard
This is a really great analysis!
One thing I'll say, because I've seen this discourse emerging in recent years, is that the first few missions of H3 really need the context of H2's ending. The audience assumption was that the Ark was on Earth, and that the artefact Truth was uncovering was the Ark. The ending of The Storm was a twist, with a moment of thinking that the Rings had been fired.
With this in mind, it's a strong first act as a follow up to H2 - better than as a stand alone story.
I'm someone who didn't grow up with Halo as a kid, I never really thought of playing it. A friend of mine who did recommended it to me last year, so I picked up MCC on Steam and played through every campaign as well as some multiplayer and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I think this is a popular opinion but Halo 3 was my favorite out of the bunch, I'm currently replaying it with another friend of mine who hasn't played it yet, and being the Arbiter is great. Then there's the first fight against the Scarab, taking it down, boarding it, and destroying it from the inside for the first time is still one of the most magical gaming memories I have. Now I have yet to play Infinite's campaign, it's waiting in my library and I'm hyped.
All I can say is thanks to the friend that recommended Halo to me, I'll never forget my time with the UNSC.
Miranda's "to war" line is her best and the only fragment of personality we get from her or her father
I was 10 when it came out. The hype for that legendary edition to come in at my local walmart was unreal. Grew up on halo CEs story. I absolutely loved halo 2. The story was amazing even though I felt unsatisfied with the ending BUT not unhappy with it. We couldnt afford xbox live at the time so my only h2 MP experience was split screen(still great) but H3s campaign/ ending and MP (chores finaly paid for some xbox live haha) was unmatched. I had over 20k custom games played by the time reach came out. Every armor, every achievement. Loved reach but always went back to H3. It was just a simple GOOD game. Looking back there wasnt ALL that much content compared to say Infinite but the replayability of the story and multiplayer is crazy. Its a FUN game. Little things like the map packs and vidmasters coming out got everyone so hyped. Nowadays we get hyped for a lick of good news in Infinite(which i also very much enjoy mostly campaign) and it just makes the nostalgia grow even more. I dont think its rose lense glasses. It was just simple, good, fun, compelling, replayable entertainment that was executed damn near perfectly in the form of Halo 3. And of course the friends made playing it. Thanks for this video it was great. Right in the feels
The Vidmaster challenges were so much fun to go through and I'm really glad it was something I got to experience as a kid
ending had me laugh xD but I agreed with a lot of what you said keep it up. Not often can I sit and listen to someone talk but you make it work, good job man
Remember when it was 2am and you fell asleep with the Halo 3 menu music on… so good
Or staying up at 2am with your friends playing it.
On the ark and the covenant, I really liked seeing the friendly covenant drop ships painted in green, it’s a nice detail
What a great homage. Took me back to high school. Thank you.
This channel is gonna blow up, I know it. Great content, all the best dude.
3:13 bruh I always thought to myself “imagine being a wounded marine on a pelican and this is what you hear” every time I played crows nest
As a person who also grew up on halo 3 this video is awesome!!
I was also 7 yo when it came out lol, i remember watching the same 10 halo 3 videos on the primitive youtube over and over 😂
I was 14 when halo 3 came out, definitely my most memorable online gaming experience with Friends. And the most fun I had online since socom navy seals 2. I wish I could go back in time 😢
I’m so happy you make these videos dude! We all remember and will cherish the hype to release and play the shit out of it 😂! I would skip school a whole lot
It's so weird coming back to this and seeing you at 1.6k subs less than 2 years ago
nah man I had no idea about the whole 1v1 thing thats so dope xD
I'm glad I discovered this channel. You've got some good content going on here and it's about time there was a fresh take in Halo RUclips
I always play “The Ark” and “The Covenant” and have a blast till I remember I have to play “Cortana” right after that. Still my favorite halo game
Dope video, never stop bro never stop
4:10 Brute chopper is the single greatest addition from halo 3 in my humble opinion. still play halo 3 forge maps with friends on mcc, for the soul purpose of having a brute chopper on the map
Halo 3 was the one and only time I went to a midnight release for a video game.
I was at time square that night....
My fav game forever
shipmaster is my spirit animal

When you said fat kid a ton of wonderful memories flooded back
Flood-ed back hmm? 🤨
I been watching your videos at work and now at home. love them keep doing halo vidoes
5:15 after playing halo 3 since launch, I recently discovered in my 1947258 playthrough of halo 3, that if you just do enough damage to the scarab/ keep shooting and breaking parts off of it, you can just blow it up the old fashioned way.
This blew my mind, after years of playing until now I never throught of just blasting the damn thing until it was no more. And it worked
Did not know that
@@frogarchist try it, its mind blowing I swear. You see the scarab slowly get more and more damaged until it just goes boom
Damn, can't believe people didn't do that on the ark when you have a tank. As a kid I wasn't always fast enough to get behind it when it lowered itself, so I just kept blasting it until it blew up.
Wait I'm tripping, I tried this with friends the other day and it didn't work idk if it just had that much more HP or what. But my friends say it's not possible and after trying it again recently I couldn't. Somebody please myth bust this for me
@@rob6912 Damn you right, I just spent like 30 minutes on the ark trying to blow it up. Must be misremebering shooting the back open, ie not climbing on board, with just blasting everything. Or I just blasted everything as a child and eventually hit the back not knowing it. Is this what people mean when they say rose tinted glasses?
Halo 3 was the first one i played. This vid was hella nostalgic, ty.
I love your videos
Halo 3 custom Forge maps with friends was just the best thing ever, good times
Halo 3 will always be the greatest. From the campaign to forge to custom games. Even the fucking menu is the greatest ever made!
Halo 3 is probably my favorite video game of all time. The gameplay, the custom games, ranked big team battle, infection, forge, and of course the community all came together to make this unforgettable!
I had a Halo 3 trailer DVR'd on our TV for years. There was something untouchable and magical about that game. Even as a kid, I knew I was witnessing something amazing. Then Reach came out and I would spend thousands of hours building weird stuff in Forge lol
I straight-up disliked HALO 3. Played through it once co-op at my friend's house, immediately went back to playing through HALO 2 over and over until ODST and Reach came out.
The campaign was painfully anemic because half of it was meant to be in 2, they had no Covenant perspective, disruptive Cortana and Gravemind hallucinations instead of a fun AI companion, and the marketing + story tried so hard to bait an emotional response rather than earn it. I remember everyone gushing to me about that piano theme, which I never found to be as good as most of the music in the previous two games.
It was ultimately a lot of set pieces and wowee-kazowee moments - certainly super fun when played as an arcade game, but I always compared it to how the HALO 2 campaign made me feel, and I got none of that in 3. It's clear a lot more of the focus went into multiplayer and forge, which is awesome, but that was never the reason I played HALO. I wanted to be invested in a good story, and even then it felt that the multiplayer focus was at the cost of making a fully-formed campaign with a satisfying resolution.
I play the first two fairly often, but still have no desire to play this game.
Little note, the magnum was in halo 2, but it was nerfed and not that noticeable, due to the newer weapons like the battle rifle, carbine and SMG etc.
A lot of what you said is how I feel about halo reach. That was my first time being that interested in halo and experiencing it firsthand. Still my favorite game ever to this day
The Ark is my favorite Halo mission of all time. Tank beats everything
the fact that Griefball which was made into a seperate matchmaking playlist at times in Reach, speaks volumes to how amazing H3's custom games were.
Also Jenga tower was my fav custom for H3 :D
For me, the best part of Halo 3 is the coop campaign with both S-117 and the Arbiter. However the absence of Cortana for most of the game sucks.
And remember people: Forerunners are ancient humanity.
Always.
Forerunners being ancient humans is a cool idea and ironic for the covenant
I never had a Xbox when halo 3 was released. But man, every chance I got I was at one of my friends playing campaign or split screen multiplayer online. Not to mention forge, so many hours in forge and doing glitches. Some of the best memories of my life
Just clicked, not 10 seconds in, but based off the title alone, very hard agree. Halo 3 was peak.
man i loved halo 3, insane release! master chief in a warthog, ODST on mongoos, was AMAZING! at launch!
The first minute-thirty of this sums up the gaming experience of every kid born in 2000 perfectly
10:06 You actually CAN see a couple of rooms from Halo 2's High Charity, but they're easily missed. Early in the level you drop into the Council Chamber, the room that Gravemind began in. You find Cortana in the prophets' Inner Sanctum; she's on a pedestal that contained an energy sword when you went there briefly in Halo 2.
It would have been interesting to see more areas from the past, as well as the cut section inside the Mausoleum, but at least we have these few surviving references.
I started with Halo 3 in 07 when I went over to friends house and played halo for the first time. Then I got my first Xbox the Xbox 360 for Xmas with halo 3 but I didn’t give live until 2010 but at that time reach was out. I didn’t get to experience halo 3 online multiplayer in its prime. But I’m glad got to experience halo reach
Halo 3 was my first ever FPS game and I loved it, many memories of 1v1ing my friend at the time (losing horribly) it was amazing fun, even after playing the other halo games I just can’t help but say Halo 3 is one of my favourite games of all time
I saw you sneak in some Halo Online footage for the multiplayer part. I miss that mod, I played it before the 6.0 version that got it so popular and then eventually banned and before that update there was a small group of about 100-200 players that I was friends with but never got to see them again after the update since the population jumped to the thousands and then banned by 343.
I thought the arbiter looked fine in h2 lmao. His armor was ancient. Extremely advanced at the time it was created, but by the time The Arbiter was given it it was old and obsolete. His squad even comments on this because his cloaking tech isn't as good as theirs. It was ancient ritual armor from the ancient religion dominated aliens....
7:00
My favorite line from that cutscene,
"All cruisers fire at will,
Burn their mongrel hides!"
Same. Halo 3 is still my favorite Halo game. It has its flaws, which you illustrated perfectly, but the gameplay and overall features more than made up for it 🙂
Halo 3 prime (along with other Halo's) was the absolut best time i ever had. There is no game until today, that came even close to the amount of fun i had with Halo. I would starve the entire day, skip school, not go outside and fail my exams just to play more Halo. Now that i think about it, its weird that i have made such close friends over Halo, even though i have never met these people. I remember these nights when we were sitting in custom lobby and xbox party, someone who read the books started talking about the universe and such, and everyone was just mind blown while having a fuck ton of fun with Halo and laughing their sides into oblivion. I remember how chasing achievements were a race between you and your friends.I remember how everyone was nuts about reaching 50 Rank in ranked games, or acquiring the Hayabusa and Recon armor. I remember how it took us 6 hours of insulting, shouting and nerv rubbling hours to complete a single campaign mission with all Skulls activated.
How RedvsBlue and "100 ways of dying in Halo" were our TV shows.
How MasterChief was always refered to in god tier quotes, and not Chuck Norris.
Halo, hands down the literal best fucking time of my life. I will never forget this time and i will never forget Halo.
Saying that, it also feels fucking painful to know that these times are over. And worse is, you know they will never come back. It doesnt matter if they release a new Halo that is just as good as the old ones. The Prime in 2007-2010 are impossible to copy. It saddens me so much, my heart rate goes up and i feel warm and comfy when i watch old Halo videos on youtube.
One of the few things i will probably still remember when im an old man
Halo 3 was my first Halo game. I mostly played RPGs and platforming games up until then. I’ve been going through and playing all the MCC campaigns lately. Halo 3 seemed so easy compared to CE and 2, but I have played through it a bunch more. Playing Reach again now.
I remember that my copy of Halo 3 had a scratch on it, which prevented me from playing Floodgate. For the longest time, I assumed Floodgate was the last level of the game, and I was only proven wrong about 5 or 6 years ago when I finally played through the whole campaign on MCC.
I like how simple the armor upgrades were and it was all achievable
Wake up babe, new Frogarchist vid
Haha
I spent the year of 2021 to get all the achievements in Halo 3, ODST, and Reach and to say it was heartbreaking to see the live server's go down is and understatement.
I always come back to the Achievement hunt video that I made about it and it will always bring me to tears I loved doing what little gamings I did in Halo 3 and and I'm thankful I got to play with some good people.
As much as I enjoyed my first 360 game as a teen being Reach, especially during the month of it's release, I still wish I'd gotten a 360 at the time of Halo 3's release. I always got that Reach multiplayer was likely objectively better than 3's in a lot of ways, but everything I saw of 3 and it's multiplayer seemed so lively and a blast to experience at it's height.
4:53 For the "magically blew up" part, if you don't jump onto the scarab, johnson's pelican eventually opens fire on the scarab and destroys it. With that context in mind the cutscene makes a lot more sense.
For ranged pure form: Flamethrower, flaming grenades, and dual plasma rifle DPS are good ways to take them down.
Hey! Gravemind has been my favorite mission since I was a little kid. And The Covenant, then The Ark are 2nd and third.
if i had a time machine Halo 3 first experience would be one of the things i would go back to.
I'll never forget release day. Got there at 3pm, Gamestop ordered us pizza, a couple LITERALLY SCREWED IN THE ALLEYWAY BEHIND... And then we got the game and my friends and I played for the next 17 hours straight. Core fuckin memory there
For anyone confused by hitscan and projectile based weapons. A hitscan is really called a line trace. Its a direct line that spawns when a weapon fires and immediatly hits the target doing damage. projectile based is when a bullet or explosive spawns at the barrel when fired and takes time to reach the target and can also be affected by gravity, wind, etc. Line traces are much easier to do btw but have less realism and you cant do quite as many things with them.
I gotta disagree about the Flood being the best in this game. Perhaps from a variety standpoint, sure, but by increasing the amount of enemies on screen they had to slow them all down so that they don't overwhelm the player...which kinda defeats the purpose of the Flood being this unrelenting force. In Combat Evolved and Halo 2 they would constantly sprint at you to get close, but here they often politely wait their turn to attack you, killing a lot of the tension. Not to mention that they have inconsistent amounts of health which can be extremely frustrating. Some combat forms can be meleed in one hit while others will tank several sword slashes for some reason.
CE easily has the most fun flood. They're very , but you have the shotgun to counter them. The best way to fight them is to constantly be on the move. I even like H2's more, mainly because I think the pure forms are terrible, but also because the energy sword is so much fun to use in H2. Plus the vehicle section was great IMO.
Homie likes da brutes
I think it's dope that you were running halo 3 campaigns with your dad.
My biggest gripe with Halo 3 is Cortana's "plan." It makes no sense. In her message she says that the grave mind is on its way to Earth but there is a way to stop it through the portal. We find out that it's the unfinished ring, but that only works because the grave mind went to the ark instead of to Earth, bringing it in range of the ring.
Despite this, I still think that Halo 3 is overall the best Halo game.
The Gravemind saw the message and believed it himself. She essentially tricked him into committing everything to the Ark thinking that was the only place that mattered. My biggest question is how did she know this? where did she learn that the ark was creating new Halos outside of the Galaxy? spark didn't even know this and it seemed unclear weather truth knows it. did Mendicant Bias tell her? if so how and when?
Gravemind knew Truth was going to activate the rings remotely at the Ark so it made it its priority to go there but didn't know it could build a new Halo. Cortana knew, even when 343GS didn't, most likely because she retained a massive amount of data from Halo 04 that must've took a while to sift through and it was against protocol for an AI construct to access the core.
Halo 3 is my favorite, hands down. That piano music, in my opinion, is peak Halo.
You can play the Arbiter if you do Co-Op. First time I played H3 was Co-Op with my Brother and he did not feel like a side character at all.
Finding every skull just to flex that sweet sweet Hayabusa armor in ranked lone wolf matches
Asking again out of curiosity and I like your editing. Got an estimate on how long this one took to edit?
Probably around 15 hours
totally agree! i miss playing halo3 back in the day when everyone was on a 360 and all had the chat headset and EVERYONE talked in game. was so much fun.
I am also someone who had NO idea about the chieftain 1 v 1.
And I've played this game a LOTTT
9:05 you can play as the Arbiter on the Covenant.
If your player 2
Bungie era Halo, my Halo. I never had a problem with the Halo 2 cliffhanger either.
This makes me want to play halo nonstop
Happy 16th birthday Halo 3, you were the best of em
Similar story for me, I was 4 when 2 came out and played the original 3 through with my dad. Halo 3’s community is what separates it from the other games in my opinion. It had the largest base of true fans. And by that I mean people that just loved or enjoyed playing halo. There was something for casual and competitive multiplayer and it worked WELL. There was forge and theatre which for a console shooter of time was insane. It had a good story, not the peak but a fitting conclusion, it was satisfying at the very least. And customs man.. I’ve never heard anyone articulate it better, you just can’t describe the atmosphere of those servers from 2007-2009. I miss it a bit. Good video brother
i think half the reason brutes were changed was for game balance in 2 brutes don't have shields making the charged plasma pistol kinda useless against them were in 3 they do have shields to down.
Halo 1 was the one who revolutionised the industry
Halo 2 was the one that made you care about the universe beyond shoot aliens
Halo 3 was the one of the few games that lived up to the hype it generated
God i miss old bungie
