I revisit this multiple times a year just to take a blast back to simpler times. 11 year old me loved this to pieces & 24 year old me loves it every way imaginable.
The game is still as great as i remember which is not surprising even as a child i knew i was playing a masterpiece. My only complaint about halo 3 is the grenade spamming issue.
In bed right now at 3am when I have to be up early for work tomorrow and just saw this video and man do I wish I was a kid again, oh all the memories of playing halo 3 all day everyday with no responsibilities besides school. There are certain videos and songs that just remind me of the good old days and this video is one of them. I'm 20 now and I don't think I'll ever feel as free and happy as I was during the halo 3 days. If anyone feels the same way lemme know. Well like I said its late and I got work tomorrow so Ima go to sleep now. Wake me when u need me...
I was the same, rushing home to play Big Team Battles, making new friends playing Infection Custom Games (Mainly Fat Kid, if you know you know). Wish I could be that free again, I hope Halo 5/6 lives up to Halo 3, then maybe I'll buy an Xbox One even though the days will never be the same.
+pattycake350 if you know ur xbox live login for the same account u played halo 3 on it tells u ur hours played on halo waypoint now. I have 7 weeks and 4 days on Halo 3......
I'm 20 now. The Halo days were the greatest days of my life 2006-2011 or so in every way. it's sp hard to let go of those days, which is why I'm here 8 years later. it's truly heartbreaking, but I'm happy that those days happened. nostalgia is a strange and very human feeling. we'll make it through this man.
It’s funny how I was around 8-10 when this came out and I wanted nothing more than to grow up... but now I want nothing more than to go back to the simpler times like these days
I hope this video never gets taken down. I like the actual song and can’t help but smirk and think of this every time it comes on this many years later. Wish you the best in everything james, you shaped lives with this
An absolute godly classic!!! I cant stress enough how videos like this arent only OG RUclips, but also formed my child hood. Thank you James, thank you for this piece of my best memories.
I am from Russia, we have a RUclips portal StopGame and from them I learned about this song in 2013, I periodically remember)) Sometimes I wanted to be among the American gamers of the 2010s, during the black ops, because I liked COD, but we had the most popular youtuber on it with 10,000 views, I don’t even talk about Halo :D . But Counter Strike is very popular. But, something similar to COD and popular in the CIS is Warface))) Our local, cult game. Thank you for this unplanned song)
I remember loving this and finding it funny 16 years ago when I was 11. I’m now watching it at 27 and laughing my ass off, loving it just as much, if not better. The glory days, didn’t know I was living, what a great song, so relatable
Nostalgia overload. Cannot believe I watched this when I was in elementary school and now I’m 20. Time flies dude. Just happened to hear the original akon song and immediately had to search this as the memories flooded back haha. Miss these days
Miss you James At War. We were 10-11 When you made these.. now we are in college living life. I like to come back kick back crack a cold on and think about the halo 3 days. Thank you for the memories James.
The worst thing is I am 30 and this song come out when I was 14 and I used to play halo 3 on the Xbox 360 slapping 50 lobbies while listening to this song now that makes me feel old once in a blue moon this song randomly pops in my head and I got to listen to it now if that doesn’t make me feel old I don’t know what does nostaljia at its finest
I remember sneaking out of my house with a friend the night halo 3 was released and going to walmart to pick it up for the midnight release. Getting back home and putting the disk in, shaking with excitement and not wanting to wake my mother up.. The moment the menue screen came up and listening to this song... Just gave me chills. Its been years that my xbox 360 has been hidden away in my closet collecting dust, but im bringing it back out just to mentally go back in time and play the campaign again. Legends never die.
This....this hit me hard...i remember watching this before i got halo 3 back when i was like 8...or 9 and i played halo 2 with my brother for hours till our mom yelled at us...i havent seen him kn 10 years as of prison but...thanks for the time capsule that legit gave me butterflies a million hearts can be affected by the smallest things Edit i still see my old comment 5 years ago...damn im old now
"...It must be just like deja vu - when I was playing Halo 2...." I remember how brilliant I thought that part was the first time I heard this in the late 2000's 😄
I remember watching this at 9 ... now im 25 .. wow .. im just about the age James was . I used to think dang , this fella is grown lol. Good song good times
Has it already been 7 years? My god nostalgia is such a beautiful thing. Cant wait for Master Chief collection, so I can relive my fond memories all over again.
listened to this song with my friends back in halo 3.. man custom games forge.. the time i was 11 at the time 27 now.. time flies.. god take me back to that time
Going into my senior year of high school and looking back at this video makes me cry. I found this gem in first grade I will never feel as free again, and youtube will never be the same genuine quality content ever again
Watching this in June 2024, 16 years since it was put out, and it's still just as hilarious now as it was then! It remains one of my favourite parodies ever! I truly with you'd made it big with your ideas. I daresay you're every bit as talented as Weird Al!
My best friend showed me this back in the day. We were always playing Halo 3. It was my Xbox live account but he was better than me so id always let him play main and I'd play guest. The good times before all the drugs and pain. Rest In Peace Chad, im still playing Halo 3.
Fuck man you know im 19 now and ill never forget my 4 year old self playing halo 1 and 2 and the life i had just playing online as a little kid. I always come baxk to this video when life kinda gets hard it just helps to remember a time when things were good and simple dont let anyone say video games do nothing for you because honestly they keep me sane ill never forget what halo has done for me
the dog isnt dead. My dad knows the guy that made this. He was stationed and buddies with everyone in this video. I actually went to that school in the background. They were all in the military, Air Force. Just some insight. Don't be sad.
unfortunately, as much as we miss this game it just isn't the same anymore now that the weight of life has been thrown upon us, back when we were kids with almost no responsibilities it was easy to play this game and enjoy it with people just like you. I met so many people because of halo, and now they are all just memories. who knows how they are living now. if not dead already, sad to say...
R.i.p Halo3 first game I ever played much respect to you thanks for all the memories and great friends I have long made there rest in peace to all you halo3 gamers that didn't see the new year and to you especially Brian I wished you coulda seen the next halo R.I.P MLG big bro spent last few days rocking on halo3 in the hospital R.I.P True Halo fan

Love Halo 3. Miss those days. I never talk to anyone online anymore, but back then I had a bunch of regular players and friends. Halo needs to be really hard to be fun, and Bungie was all about that. 343 watered it down so more people can "have fun" per MS's orders. I feel sad now. Im going to pop in Halo 3.
@@tristanzlotnicki8205 Eight years later, I'm a healer in Overwatch now. Mercy main, but I play her like she's Master Chief. Halo was great training. 🤘🤠
I like to imagine the reason James@War hasn't posted many videos in the last 16 years is because he's been hopelessly addicted to World of Warcraft the entire time.
A time capsule back into history
Crazy I was just thinking about this too. A different RUclips
16 years ago...
fr amazing memories with this one
Of all the people to run into here lol
You are not qualified enough to comment on halo 3
RUclips's Golden Age... before it was taken over by the big corporations...
This video is over a decade old
was already part of big corporations. the problem is that became a goldmine.
it never got better, only worse.

After all the things that have happened since then to my dad passing last year, i’d wish for nothing more than to go back to these days.

"Nostalgia" a good but also bad feeling knowing you can't go back to the good old days

Man, I remember when Halo 3 first came out. The hype surrounding it was insane! I will never forget that.
Both Halo 3 and 2. When the trailer for Halo 2 was first shown, the faces were priceless when people saw dual-wielding for the first time
It's just something that 343 can never recreate. The classics will always prevail
