@@pssyter It's more like implied. This entire story is about a battle in afghnaistan with the goal of pinpointing where Chief is going to land. Really big deal since the covenant is also trying to figure out where he's going to land. The Pelican hovering over them is there to pick up the coordinates once the RangeFinder confirms it. Once getting the coordinates it flys off to pick up Chief. Likely taking about a day to arrive there. (Since Chief crashes at night, then is recovered in the morning). That pelican had to get from Afghanistan to Kenya, and it can be assumed that Johnson and his squad are onboard that Pelican.

There's something just totally badass about commercial sector factories being requisitioned for UNSC military production after the fall of reach, Earth being put into total war status in a last ditch effort to protect the only remaining major human planet. I assume conscription was introduced too.
This... All they had to do was expand upon this and they would've had an award winning series loved by all... instead we got spoon fed crap without them even telling us it was chocolate.
If you think about some of the weapons calibers, you begin to ask yourself, how the hell the marines can fire them like that. That's especially true for the sniper rifle.
LennoxPoodle well you also have to realize the marine shooting the sniper was ODST, not that that makes a whole lot of difference as far as what you’re trying to say, but that sniper is probably a 50cal so not impossible to shoot it the way he was
@@TheBristow55 The question is how. You can't circumvent newtons first law. You can't negate or reduce the recoil, only delay it. And there seems to be no device on marines which does that. The AR uses the same ammo as the M14 making it effectively a LMG. Firing that full auto on long bursts should basically dislocate a marine shoulder. Spartans are obviously a different thing.
"SPARTANS NEVER DIE, JUST MISSING IN ACTION! RIP TO ALL FELLOW SPARTANS & ODSTS of Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Halo Reach, and Halo 4 on Xbox360! This year 2021 December 31th!
I love the intro to this. Instead of just combat footage it contextualizes the story. Humanity is at peak military efficiency, churning out equipment to immediately arm soldiers. This is the kind of thing that grounds Halo is reality instead of just feeling like space wizards or something.
This is such a depressing story. The pelican is there and it doesn’t pick them up, why? Because it’s needed to get to the team picking up chief asap. They’re running low on ammo, meaning they were sent in under equipped or held the position for longer than they thought they needed. Can you do your job? That ODST died simply to use a piece of equipment to track chief. Everyone who died here died just so they could get chiefs landing position logged. You never see this in the game at all, but imagine it, boot up halo 3 and when you’re in that jungle with Johnson, just think, that the reason they’re there so quick is because of this team. It just really sums up the desperation of humanity at this point, but also the hope chief gave them. Sending a team of not just marines but ODST, the best of the best of the regular infantry; the future of special forces, to log a fall trajectory of someone they know is their last hope. The ODST in the beginning, “package retrieved” they’re rummaging through rubble. I assume either their team, a different ODST team, or maybe even marines was on that job before them and got hit, they’re not the first choice to do this and still they do it. Still they die for it. I wonder if they’re even the second team, maybe the UNSC is playing hot potato with that piece of equipment between doomed teams of infantry to try and get it into position despite heavy covenant forces.
Gamassin1 ____ most of the unsc fleet was being annihilated at the time. Remember their biggest outpost was reach and they got overwhelmed by the covenant.
@@DTS214 Never even played the game in my life and at the time, i knew pretty much fuck all about Halo Lore so sorry if i sounded obnoxious, yeah i'm aware now today that the Covenant at the time had one hell of a technological advantage over the UNSC by a long mark.
@top kek Not only that, they had far better technology and veterans of war due to their culture, something i learnt a couple of years later but at the time of posting, didn't.
these trailers did such a good job showing how much we the player as the master chief meant to the story and how willing many of the UNSC were to give their lives for you. These guys weren't even sure you'd survive the landing yet they still fought like hell just to make sure they'd know for a fact where you'd end up just in case there was that small chance the chief made it or just to recover your body. This and the "Believe" trailers set in the museum were probably the best at showing just how much of a badass chief was.

It's cool to see the equipment on the manufacturing line.
Little lore: these are the same marines that sgt. Johnson Commanded saving master chief on re entry. Flies away
Really? where can I find it? After Halo CE events books only describe game events slightly

I first watched the short film back in around 2006, can't believe it's been 17yrs already...time flies
Still a better job than what paramount gave us
You could say it was _Infinitely_ better
@@EnterDatPrison-ei3rwYou, sir, win the internet.
The people who made this should make a whole halo movie. it would be so fuckin badass
You do realize that it was planned that this should become a movie by Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp and the Weta Workshop Studio (who build the Hog) but there were problems with money or something
***** then we should be funding this!
They were going go make one but finding fell through so Peter Jackson made district 9 instead
3:30
"Proceed with caution : they're under heavy fire."
"No kidding ?! The entire continent is under heavy fire, you idiot !"
That last rocket on the brute chief is the the best depiction of halo
6:18 that is one AWESOME marine for being able to survive that
He was probably playing on easy
no he died, the shockwave ruptures your organs.

Damn I think Neil could've made a pretty good Halo movie if he went through with it.
All studio politics unfortunately. Peter Jackson got him on for Halo but when it fell through they gave him money for District 9.

I can't believe I had never see "Arms Race" before. Cool af.
somehow this is still better than halo tv show.

@@lmojol9673 Well, it's 14.5x114 mm to be precise. IRL, thats an soviet anti-tank machinegun cartridge.
Also by the looks of the stock I’m guessing some futureistic recoil dampening system and lightweight materials
It's in the future homie, all halo weapons are hilariously overpowered. It's just that technology evolved enough to be able to compensate for all that

Imagine all the people on the list for "Master Chiefs reentry" I guess Johnson just calculated it somehow.
This is the reason halo is better than CoD
I haven't seen CoD with anything this cool
Damn straight!
Sir Douchepants your name is beautiful
Christopher Kelbel Thank you :)
+Christopher Kelbel Amen to that!
Better than anything paramount or 343 has made
no just go look at forward unto dawn
@bobjunior1121 your point. It's still more lore accurate than all the other trash I'd rather watch that

Rest in piece.
This was directed by niel blomkamp. Another lil tidbit
I love the drum beat! It's actually from Halo 3 it's named overcome

It's funny because the covernent always has air support yet the unsc doesn't?
Gamassin1 ____ most of the unsc fleet was being annihilated at the time. Remember their biggest outpost was reach and they got overwhelmed by the covenant.
The Covenant always dominated the skies. Even the UNSCs best ships couldn't match most of what the Covenant had during the war.
It’s like this guy didn’t even pay attention while playing the game.

Whats the name of the soundtrack when the marine says "target acquired"?? Please
Buzzardbusting Guy, it's called Halo Reborn. It's also played again as part of the song Greatest Journey, but you can find it on RUclips and iTunes
It's undercover of night I believe, there have been many versions over the years.
this is constant gardener , some one wake up south tower
Still better than most modern movies. Man...I'll never forgive them for not green lighting this movie.
Paramount had one fuckin job..
H3 Landfall is a better video scene than the new Halo series lol
I wonder how they managed the "industrial" scenes, CGI? Models? Or did they legit rent out a factory and made props of weapons and vehicles?
The old school way, definitely looks like a real factory floor where they CGI’d in the warthogs
THIS IS HOW THE HALO MOVIE WILL BE!!!!!!!! MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!
The first trailer is what I hope the American Military industrial complex will evolve into.
Maybe some day, let's not forget the predominant language is still English so who knows 😁

What’s the soundtrack ?
Too bad 343 will never be cool.
Looks better than the shit we got this year
Halo 1 and 2 were the shit
^^ muy bueno :D
Por favor me mata
Halo live leak
All this just for one man?
Native Engine yep, thats how vital it is to bring just 1 Spartan into the fight, it could be the outcome of winning or losing the battle.
FUBAR
Those assholes at Paramount really messed up taking Halo away from Neill Blomkamp.
