Oh my... My childhood friend came over to my house so we could play on my ex-stepdad's chipped Xbox. We scrolled through the 100s of chipped games and he stopped on "Halo" because his uncle had showed him it before. This was in 2002/2003 and I must've been like 6-7 years old. My mom disapproved of shooting games in general, obviously. We started the mission "Assault on the controlroom" because that was the level that had been unlocked most recent. Wandering through those dark hallways and sneaking up behind the gaurding elites... such a chilling feeling for a 7 year old... My older brother and I used to play the campaign over and over again, and when we weren't; we would play 1v1s on Blood Gulch or any other map and just screw around and do Warthog tricks and attempt glitches. Halo CE is by far my favorite game in the franchise. Didn't discover Xbox Live before 2007 when Halo 3 came out, and that basically opened my eyes to a whole new world... The end.
Hey Walshy, I'm pretty sure you said you'd do a halo history with Ghandi. You should definitely still try to do it with him, the fans would love it. You also said you would "make it happen" with Ogre 2. I think the fans with LOVE to see a halo history episode with those two. Please consider still doing more halo history. I absolutely love this series and love listening to how people got started and all the stories and stuff. Some really funny stories too lol. But yeah, please bring this back Walshy, I loved listening to these
No walshy We dont just insult them just because they're young. The problem stems from these little kids that started playing halo when reach or 4 came out and have the nerve to say halos 1 2 and 3 suck. Like wtf. I don't care if you like halo reach or halo 4. I only start to care once you insult a game I grew up on when you barely even played it.
Dave, it would be great if you ended each episode by asking players how they see the competitive Halo scene currently and where they see things going with Halo 5, what their impressions of Halo 5 are, what they think needs to happen to improve the Halo scene, etc. The history and stories are great, but those insights would be fantastic to have. Thanks!
Walshy. I love you. My childhood was Halo 2 super bouncing, and having so much fun. 15+ years later I look back to you. I miss it so much, and it was the time of my life. I wish it wasn't so over saturated now. Even MCC I still play Halo 3. You're the goat man thank you for what you've done!
Love your vids. Always fun to hear your's & others stories. Brings back my memories of mine. Love this channel, would love to see some old game play of you & teammates if possible.
holy shit these videos bring back memories. I didn't get into halo 2 until I got my 360 on launch and then it was the only game I played. almost all my xbl friends at first were on the original
I didn’t get Xbox live until early 2007 so I didn’t get to play online for most of halo 2 but I got to play at the end as halo 3 came out. My internet was really bad satellite internet so I didn’t get to play much halo 2 on Xbox live but I still loved it from LAN. My brother and my friend down the street would play with our 2 Xbox’s system linked, we would always get another friend to come over and play so we could 2v2 and very occasionally we would have a friend with a router come over and we would have a full on halo party with 5+ Xbox’s. I miss those days so much but I wish I would’ve lived in town so I could’ve had cable internet back in halo 2 and halo 3. Those were the days!
Love the series, the only thing I dislike about it is that Walshy seems to talk a bit too much as well as talking over his guests. I'd love to hear the guest speak more!
i have never ever watched/ listened to a full talk show before, as i hate them...i just watched all 5 of the walshy halo history videos in a row and i am sad that i dont see a 6th one on here. GREAT content man...damn great.
+Walshy I am actually surprised you didn't start playing Halo 1 until a year after it was released. I'm surprised that I've played Halo longer than you have. Especially given that I have followed you for a long time.
Hey Walshy, would you mind making an elaborate on map control? As in having good team setups team to complement eachother's positions? I would really like to see a good tutorial on going into all the little factors that determine how good a position is, and how they work together. It's a complex subject to cover but i really see it as the fundament of competitive halo strategy and i can't find a good tutorial on it so i'm a bit desperate. If you've got the time for this, i would really appreciate it!
I agree, knowledge like this is hard to come by. Anyone can learn how to win gunfights, but team play and map control (more competitive techniques) are rare to learn
Ninja sounds so enthusiastic about his past in Halo, there's no way he isn't gonna play Halo Infinite. Man if that game is good and manages to get the big streamers on board especially having the game on PC too, then Halo could make a big comeback, thanks to Ninja. That shit would be absolutely insane, best comeback story in history.
Yeah, he'll probably be trying out Infinite when it comes out, and that will be the deciding factor if he'll be back to the Halo grind or even try his edge at competitive again. He is still even passionate about Halo, it's just not a public thing every minute. Early last year, he was very vocal on how he felt about the current direction of Halo, especially when 343 attempted to switch the starting weapons to automatics and everything again. The only thing we can hope is that the next Halo title will push itself to a fine line of 'modern' and 'classic', to where it will be appealing to current, new players, and classic players alike. Possibly, if you will, a renaissance of Halo.
He's playing Fortnite because the Battle Royal styles appeal currently more fun to him for multiplayer than anything that is currently out. Classic Halo's, even within the MCC, feel dated. Halo 5 really isn't that fun of a game to play, and MCC in general lacks composure to make it 'fun'...after a few months of each, at least -- and Ninj did it for years lol. I can see him coming back to Halo, but it may not be until Infinite launches, and ONLY if the launch isn't terrible lol.
@@3n1fss My variation of 'fun' and 'fantastic' may be vastly different than yours lol. MCC is fun for die-hard Halo fans. For anyone who can spend 1/3rd their year playing the game, MCC is fun. Halo 5 got stale after the first 2 years...that's why no pro streamed it, because they couldn't stand playing it lol...especially matchmaking. I do agree that MCC is stronger than where it was, but a population of 2,000 - 10,000 is far from fantastic in my mind, especially when Halo 5 had this amount even before MCC went to pro circuit lol....and everyone said "Halo 5 is dead". In my opinion, Halo is on it's last legs until Infinite comes out, then we'll see a rise again. Otherwise, Halo has been the same population basis since the end of 2017, except Worlds 2018 brought people in 'just because' it's a competition for a high dollar amount lol.
I love walshy and all, like he is a great personality to have in the halo community but when he compared playing halo all day to working a 9 to 5 that kind of pissed me off. i work a 9 to 5 and my dream is to be able to make a living off of gaming/youtube/halo. So the fact that he even tried to say that its tough having to play video games all day just has me shaking my head.
I always thought my parents hated gaming when I was a kid, and then one night I woke up to pee and there they were out in the living room playing Star Fox together on the N64. I'll never forget that lol
My soul goes out to Ninja's friends who played Halo 2, said "This isn't Halo wtf" and bailed hahaha. Too awesome. Especially funny after I creamed Ninja 50-30 in CE dubs last night. Though he would probably destroy me in the other Haloes lol.
20:30 In my experience, back in the early 2000s most the people didnt have internet at their homes. So I understand Tyler not knowing about the Xbox Live option on H2. I remember playing games like Need For Speed Underground on my PS2 which had a "Play Online" option and I never even cared about it because it was useless for me. But yeah this was awesome to watch. The microsoft 1v1 story was great. And you of all people deserve to be representing Halo in those asian countries while being treated as VIP and still getting paid. Maybe you can ask Microsoft to send you over to Europe, I'm sure you'd have a lot of fun (just like Tyler did) :D Also, that wallet story at the end was something else lol
i didn't know about Xbox live until like 2009. idk how I didn't know, but I realized that there was an Ethernet port so I plugged an Ethernet cable in...
He talks about running into pros at level 32 and 35. I wish they'd talk about why that was! I loved H2 so much, but Xbox Live was full of cheating, and it's pretty satisfying to hear this, because it squares with my own experience, that 35 was about as high as you could get legit. H3 had better graphics, worse maps, and equipment. Equipment was stupid. But it DIDN'T have the cheating problem that H2 had. You could be a legit 50. Good times!
8:50 This type of rational thinking is rare :D The ''reach kid'' remark reminds me of when I'm on a classical music video's comment section, and people are so up their own ass about how much better classical is than all the new stuff
Please do Halo history with Ogre 2. You guys share so much history it would interesting to see you two reminisce on the old days.
Daenerys Targaryen I'll make it happen!
Walshy HYPE! Im so hype after seeing this :D
Walshy Keep these up dude.You're giving me those 04-09 nostalgia feels with this series.
Walshy You could even ask both of the Ogre :P it would be crazy to know their stories !!!
Daenerys Targaryen this never happened :(

XxXShizzy Great question to end with. I'll start asking something along these lines in future episodes.
Awesome, can't wait!
Yesss keep them coming. Great nostalgia for veterans who followed the scene since the beginning. Good stuff!

It's really awesome to see how much you guys care about helping the Halo community become more welcoming and better :) Keep it up Bros!
So crazy watching this now after ninjas huge blow up.
These are so awesome, please please please keep making these Walsh!
that sword kill fail reaction had me rolling at 23:30 ish
keep these coming dude! love just chilling and listening to these while i play some
my favourite two halo players in one vid
Love your vids. Always fun to hear your's & others stories. Brings back my memories of mine. Love this channel, would love to see some old game play of you & teammates if possible.
Man. You're making me want to get a current Xbox, and get back into halo, with the new release. It's good watching this all over again.
Awesome stuff, thank you for doing these
takes Ninja's wallet.
Walshy: "Like taking candy from a baby"
Walsh where you at man..? missing the vids :(
It really seems like everyone has a unique story of their own coming into the Halo community it really amazes me to see what this community was.
Man, I remember being 9 or 10 years old lookin up to Walshy. I really miss old Halo, made some pretty good memories with friends and enemies alike.
love your HH videos, Walshy, keep it up
holy shit these videos bring back memories. I didn't get into halo 2 until I got my 360 on launch and then it was the only game I played. almost all my xbl friends at first were on the original

that comment when ninjas parents thought an mlg tourney was baiting children lmfao too funny.. WALSHY is LEGEND
Dave, one thing you haven't covered is your Kiaeneto clothing company. Would love to hear you drop some stories about that sometime.
Agreed
Those new medals make me sick feeling. Huge fan tho walshy wish you uploaded regularly bro
NINJA
Legend of Legaia! Truly my favorite RPG of all time!
Gandhi next please!!
Hilarious interview, great stuff Walshy aka G.O.A.T.
That's Crazy how you were the more famous person on the team and even ditched Ninja at an event. Not many can say that!
I love how Chris randomly pops in at 41:37 :D
When are you going to get the Suddoth twins on? They ARE Halo
Trevor Bass no they aren’t 😂🤣
@@teamwork7973 Suddoth Twins > Final Boss
Strongside or Gandhi would be sweet. Keep em comin Walsh!
Walshy you are absolutely amazing

Tyler TJC Chavez was the guy that beat you in Korea. He was my neighbor and he was legit. Yes his mom was military and they got stationed in Korea.
I would actually pay to watch an Ogre 1, Ogre 2 and Walshy halo history episode
Need another one with ninja now
epic best halo story walshy!!! lmfao at 15:00
YO I HAVE THAT JURASSIC PARK GAME
my two favorite gamers of all time
I started play halo when I was 11 halo CE when it first came out.
Woo. These are fun videos!
Love to watch these as I play! Get Snip3down on here :D
Ninja back then: PogChamp
Ninja now: LUL
I love walshy and all, like he is a great personality to have in the halo community but when he compared playing halo all day to working a 9 to 5 that kind of pissed me off. i work a 9 to 5 and my dream is to be able to make a living off of gaming/youtube/halo.

I always thought my parents hated gaming when I was a kid, and then one night I woke up to pee and there they were out in the living room playing Star Fox together on the N64. I'll never forget that lol
This aged beautifully.
No lie I saw that this was an hour and 24 min long and didn’t wana watch it but I clicked on it by accident and watched the whole thing god dam.
My soul goes out to Ninja's friends who played Halo 2, said "This isn't Halo wtf" and bailed hahaha. Too awesome.
Especially funny after I creamed Ninja 50-30 in CE dubs last night. Though he would probably destroy me in the other Haloes lol.
gandhi or ogre 2 would be so awesome to see on here
Snip3down next pleaseee

Where did you live?!?! Anywhere I was in the late 90's/2000's, everyone had internet. Now, not everyone had cable or dsl, so that's understandable.
Sean Fitzgerald Europe buddy
Fair enough, well everyone in Europe is laughing now.... You guys get way better internet for the money than we do.
i didn't know about Xbox live until like 2009. idk how I didn't know, but I realized that there was an Ethernet port so I plugged an Ethernet cable in...
I didn't get internet until 2006? Now we got gigabit and I hear Americans are happy for 50/50.
He talks about running into pros at level 32 and 35. I wish they'd talk about why that was! I loved H2 so much, but Xbox Live was full of cheating, and it's pretty satisfying to hear this, because it squares with my own experience, that 35 was about as high as you could get legit.

Good times!
Cloud was actually a 37 in rumble hardcore. He was on my friend's list at the time. Then he became pro lol
I love you Walshy I look up to you so much
would be great if you could get guys like Cpt Anarchy, Defy, BestMan, Neighbor & Ghost or such. guys who had lengthy careers in h2/3
yoo where you at daaaaawg 1 video a week you said =(
Walshy....let people talk lol. You overpower so much!
I'm guessing you played custom games, because I was a level 44 in Team Slayer before the resets and then managed to get back to a 42 team Slayer.
It was Rumble Hardcore @29:00
23:32 JAJA fucking sword
Bro! AH did that game Ninja talked about at the release of Jurassic World.
Wow... this is weird watching this now. I remember watching this before Ninja had his Fortnite fame.
Mac is still cracked
How did you talk about gaming for an hour, madness
Rob Tennant Thats what happens when gaming becomes apart of your soul haha!
Damn. Chris and Tyler sound exactly the same!
Nuck finja.
8:50 This type of rational thinking is rare :D
The ''reach kid'' remark reminds me of when I'm on a classical music video's comment section, and people are so up their own ass about how much better classical is than all the new stuff
add Soda V1 if anyone plays comp halo only and play a fuck load
Do any GB kids remember GoogleNate and PonyRider? I'm fairly sure that's the Nate and Mac (PonyRider) who Ninja was saying was his first teammates
Nate and Arab got on that team ahead of 2 really good kids and LuckSide got ripped a new one for it on the forums
I'm picking up an Xbox one and halo next month....I'll give you pros a run for your money...I'm a revered halo 2 vet coming back out on the scene
I wish I was half as good as Walshy when he's not trying...
Ninja is huge now
He will always be a reach kid
yo lets do it again, its been a few years
where's the halo history with ogre 2 man, fans want it.
Come on Walsh, we want one with the ogre's twin :)
Dude I hated the screen going red on goldeneye. I thought the game was fun when I was a kid but I never really liked shooting games until halo ce
when is next halo history coming?
Lets be real.. legend of dragoon was the best PS1 game :D
Need to let your guests talk more. You ask them questions and then cut them off and talk about yourself. Communications a two way street, man. :p
Not playing PD would be like not playing HCE.
I just wanted to see the h2 gameplay
23:36 lol

also I miss the The Lan Network
