@@TheSansfromundertale they kind of mess up the tone a bit in places; what are supposed to be dark areas randomly having bright lighting, killing the intended atmosphere meant to bw lit by a flashlight (wheras new graphic make it easy to get around without them). Without spoiling, it makes certain intended elements of the game appear nonexistent, such as a swamp that really is just pretty in new graphics instead of being mysterious and murky like it should be in the old. Also, in a lot of missions but most notably one later, there are times where the new graphics dont align with the original map that it's pasted over. In the aforementioned mission, you can literally walk through a wall because it didnt exist in the original graphics. And in a lot of open world missions, rocks or trees aren't aligned correctly and so you may experience invisible walls in anniversary which are actually very clear barriers in classic. It's not the the graphics are bad; the game is visually appealing. But the updated graphics mess with the experience heavily, and its better experiencing it the way the game was designed. (Anniversary was outsourced to a 3rd party that didnt make the original game)
I'm 40, I got an Xbox for Christmas back when I was...15? The xmas it came out, Halo redefined FPS gaming. Two guns and grenades... Just running through and slaughtering aliens... co-op mode... before online gaming really existed, you and a buddy sitting on the couch tearing through aliens, rushing forward and waiting for respawn on legendary difficulty... Good times 20+ years ago.
First Mass Effect, now Halo! It is like you knew exactly what games to save for blind playthroughs later in life! This is another one of my favorites, and I am looking forward to watching this series!
The genius behind the Halo music, Martin O’Donnell, is such an active member of the Halo fanbase to this day. He even comments on channels where people react to Halo music. He also occasionally discusses Halo lore and unsolved mysteries with the fans. He’s such a genuine and down to Earth guy. You’ll love his music. Stop and listen to it whenever you can!
I’m a 21 female and I first started playing Halo when I was 4. Needless to say, this game is my life 😂UR GONNA LOVE IT! I def agree that the pistol and assault rifle are OP. No other game does it as good as this one. And the punching mechanic is also a 10/10 satisfying add-on. I love that the first thing you noticed was the music because that too is what drew me in as a kid. It’s so immersive and REALLY fun. My dad and I play on legendary all the time and we still wish it was more challenging 😂
Agreed 110%!!! Didn't expect this after just finishing Mass Effect yesterday but it sure is welcome! Halo:CE was the first game I EVER played!! Also helps that I just went thru it on ledgy in a day last weekend 😅
Halo has a very very special place in my heart. I grew up playing heavily and even had the collectors edition of halo 2 on the orginal xbox. Seeing people get into it for the first time is truly amazing and heartwwarming for me!
Halo Ce is basically the opposite of 'janky' in almost every way. Epic, well designed music, smooth, fluid gameplay that incorporates never before conceptualized tactics, fully functional and satisfying vehicles, HUGELY reactive enemies (they get mad, get scared, freak out, etc.) and much more, such as certain plot twists you'd never see coming that give it a dark, gritty tone.
Eh, no it's pretty janky. Just think about how you instantly die to a vehicle or turret even just slightly touching you. And the ghost in CE feels like it was made to be uncontrollably. CEA makes it even more finicky with textures not aligning to geometry making the cursed shooting things that you don't see.
@Skylancer727 cea is janky sure, but not CE. the one bit of manliness I can agree on is instant death to moving objects, but that also makes it really fun and a bit easier to splatter enemies with the warthog. But there's a difference between an overall janky game, and a solid game with a janky mechanic.
Hahahahhahah "I'm going to save everyone (marines)" Then proceeds to kill half the squad with the warthog, and squash the warthog in the rocks.... 😂😂😂😂
@@LUCYJROBYN not even new players, it's just one of the quirky charming things that happen in CE to everyone. Chips, Johnson and Stacker always come back though so don't feel bad about them
The day finally came when Halo became a throwback legend I'm Honored to have been from the Era ..when you put the Halo CD in the OG Box.. when multi player engine hit .. it changed the gaming world memories are of a Golden Era Enjoy every second 💯
Hi Lucy. Looking forward to watching this series! Something worth knowing is that Halo was released at a time when everyone read instruction manuals, so the introduction to Halo's story and universe, why the characters are where they are, is first told in this section from the manual, which people read before playing the game: "THE STORY SO FAR... The year is 2552. Planet Earth still exists, but overpopulation has forced many of her former residents to colonize other worlds. Faster-than-light travel is now a reality, and Earth’s unified government, through the United Nations Space Command, has put its full weight behind the colonization effort-millions of humans now live on habitable planets in other solar systems. A keystone of humanity’s colonization efforts is the planet Reach, an interstellar naval yard that builds colony ships for civilians and warships for the UNSC’s armed forces. Conveniently close to Earth, Reach is also a hub of scientific and military activity. Twenty-seven years ago, contact with the outer colony Harvest was lost. A battlegroup sent to investigate was almost completely destroyed; only one badly damaged ship returned to Reach. Its crew told of a seemingly unstoppable alien warship that had effortlessly annihilated their forces. This was humankind’s first encounter with a group of aliens they eventually came to know as the Covenant, a collective of alien races united in their fanatical religious devotion. Covenant religious elders declared humanity an affront to the gods, and the Covenant warrior caste waged a holy war upon humanity with gruesome diligence. After a series of crushing defeats and obliterated colonies, UNSC Admiral Preston Cole established the Cole Protocol: no vessel may inadvertently lead the Covenant to Earth. When forced to withdraw, ships must avoid Earth-bound vectors-even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. Vessels in danger of capture must self-destruct. On Reach, a secret military project to create cyborg super-soldiers takes on newfound importance. The soldiers of the SPARTAN-II project rack up an impressive record against the Covenant in test deployments, but there are too few of them to turn the tide of the war. Existing SPARTAN-II soldiers are recalled to Reach for further augmentation. The plan: board a Covenant vessel with the improved SPARTAN-IIs and learn the location of the Covenant home world. Two days before the mission begins, Covenant forces strike Reach and annihilate the colony. The Covenant are now on Earth’s doorstep. One ship, the Pillar of Autumn, escapes with the last SPARTAN-II and makes a blind jump into deep space, hoping to lead the Covenant away from Earth. YOU ARE THE MASTER CHIEF... all that remains of a classified military project to build a series of genetically enhanced super-soldiers. You are humanity’s last and best hope against the Covenant-but you’re woefully outmatched, and survival is not guaranteed." Anyway, hope you enjoy Halo as much as the rest of us. Can't wait to see more! Edit: Also, for a more authentic experience (my preferred way to play) you can activate the original graphics with one of the buttons while playing and the original music from the menu. You might already know that - I'm still early into the video.
@@LUCYJROBYN if you would like some more backstory on Chief, the events of the war and the lead up to this game i would recommend, Halo: Contact Harvest, which details the beginning of the war, Halo: The Cole Protocol, and Halo: The Fall of Reach, which is the Chiefs and other Spartan IIs backstory and is the direct prequel to this game.
On that point - this has got to be at least the 4th person I have seen start the Ganme who kept overcharging the covenant pistol, because they thought it naturally had to work like a machine gun, or semi-auto pistol. So, if you read this, Lucy, holding it down "overcharges" and generates a shield breaker shot, but you can also rapidly click the trigger to fire weak shots, which do not kill the power cell as fast, but are more like bullets.
My sweet summer child. When you said on the 2nd level, halo, "These guys shouldn't be in combat." It made me happy. You crank that difficulty on halo and it's like playing a totally different game. Watching you play reminds me of my first play through.
Yes friendly fire. The Pillar of Autumn makes a cameo in Mass Effect 2, its silhouette can bee seen in with the junk floating around just after you go through the Omega relay into the Collectors space.
if you put on the old graphics you can see this better, but you can see it happen with the new graphics- on the elites - they have shields like you - when you are shooting them you can see the shield "pop" once this happen switch to the pistol and one headshot takes them out (they are usually stunned or angry when this happens) also note when you hear the beep beep beep you shields are low and you need cover to let the them charge. The plasma pistol that charges up - take shields out instantly and it tracks too, charge fire - while the ball is in flight switch to pistol and as soon as it land pop enemy in the head :)
This has been my favorite video to watch in a long time. Seeing someone enjoy Halo CE for the first time and essentially experience the thrills and excitement that I experienced when I first played it some 20 years ago is honestly so wholesome. Hope you enjoyed the game and keep playing through the franchise. The story is honestly so dang good and the gameplay only gets better. Cheers!
I'd recommend avoiding the terminals in future; they were an addition for the 2011 anniversary edition and while not containing spoilers they're more intended for players who are already familiar with where the story goes. They'll only serve to confuse you. I also recommend using the old graphics as the anniversary graphics fail to capture a lot of the atmosphere and mood of game especially in some of the later levels. Also the Australian marine is named Chips Dubbo and as an Australian myself he is obviously my favourite character.
Sgt. Johnson is just the best. He’s just got the right kind of attitude that would make anyone follow him into battle. Lore fact for you, Master Chief is actually his rank. I think you’ll greatly enjoy this series. After I was able to get my own Xbox, the MCC was one of the first things I got on it. So different playing as an adult who can retain all the things vs being a kid playing it at a friend’s house
@@LUCYJROBYN Sgt Johnson has different lines for his intro speech on each difficulty. They get more badass and ridiculous on higher levels. Check out the cutscenes if you get a chance
@@LUCYJROBYN A secret bit of lore for Johnson that you don't get in any of the games. I'll leave space so you can avoid the spoiler if you don't want to see it. While Master Chief and his generation of Spartans are considered Spartan II's, Johnson could be considered a Spartan I. This is why he doesn't get infected by the flood like everyone else that was with Keyes.
just bringing this to your attention. its a pretty big consensus that the original graphics for halo CE has a better “atmosphere” than the remaster. but if you play halo2, that remaster is AMAZING!!!
@@LUCYJROBYN maybe try using a few more of the different weapons. The AR is decent against most enemies but the human pistol is insane and makes gameplay very fun. The covenant weapons are generally less effective but they can be fun to mess around with. And every weapon has a cool looking melee attack that you’ll want to abuse so don’t miss that. Love the videos.
@@LUCYJROBYN Shotgun with a quick punch is a solid way to deal damage to elites, charged plasma pistol and a headshot from the magnum (noob combo) is also a solid choice. Grunts and jackals you pretty much just want headshots but elites and hunters you should attack from behind if you can. I know you're a couple episodes in now so I'm sure you're learning the feel of the weapons. If you want to try something many of us did back in the day, try a rocket jump into a snipe, doesn't matter what you get but it feels amazing to do
Someone could play this game for the first time a hubdred years kn the future and they still will be blown away by the music. Theres a lot that separates Halo from everything else, but the music will always be a class above everything else out there.
Okay, I'm two minutes in and your reaction to the music has sold me - another sister joins the ranks of Halo music appreciators and you've got me subbed and watching this series!! I really hope the gets you playing all the games! Going through the campaign blind with friends, and watching others do blind runs, is one of my favorite things with this series. No spoilers from me - just enjoy! Also one more note on the music - Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori created all the music for the original trilogy (plus ODST and Reach). Marty is a regular on RUclips now and likes to pop into the comments of videos for playthroughs (especially if you like the music!). He really is an impressive composer and there are *so many* fantastic themes that wind their way through all the games, rewarding you for paying attention to it. With the theme I always felt an Irish vibe in there too - I wonder if it isn't the mode that it's in (Dorian)? The monks chanting definitely gives a mystical, vaguely Druidic and monasterial vibe to me. Anyway, cheers!!
@@LUCYJROBYN I hope you stick it out to Halo 3 - by then they had a full orchestra to work with and it takes this music to a whole other level! Enjoy 😊
Knowing this was your first ever time playing, it crushed my soul seeing how quickly you navigated the maze in the first level. I played again last week and I STILL get lost there lmao. Great video!
It's always fun watching a new player trying to get use to the gameplay, especially in the Warthog, while also trying to keep other marines alive and seeing their reaction when it doesn't go to plan.
@@LUCYJROBYN As someone who beta tested CE (ask to see my special nameplate), I spend a lot of time lately watching people experience the franchise for the first time - so if you ever have a question, feel free to ask me or any of us here... and, yes, there are novels which are all 100% canon save for the very first one that has been 50% retconned in years since due to it being finished both before CE was finalized *and* before Bungie realized that Halo was going to be a massive franchise
I've played halo since 2001. Got all the achievements save for laso and sub 2 hour legendary runs. And at 10:16 I've never heard that line before. It's amazing the little details
Do not underestimate the magnum pistol. It may be small and shoot one round but you can do serious damage with it. I survived half of the Pillar of Autumn mission using mostly the Magnum. If you can shoot the hunters in the back with it, you can take em down in one or two shots. And shooting grunts in the head with it is almost just as if not more fun then melee attacks. Also welcome to Halo!
I was 9 years old when this game came out. This game changed my life forever and the music has been so damn iconic even to this day. I wish Halo collection was on playstation 😒
I am loving your gameplay, keep at it! If you are interested in finding more about lore, the "little ones" that keep running away from you, are the Ungoi. Don't want to spoil anything in case you want to find out for yourself but their lore explains why they seem to be untrained and scared when you kill their leaders. It is also a sad plot for a race. Halo has a lot of lore on the internet and comics explain a lot of the things the game doesn't cover.
@@LUCYJROBYN Xbox had it together back then. Mass Effect was also a product of Xbox. Notice that music. It didn't become available to PlayStation until EA bought them.
Combat Evolved doesn't use a real orchestra, Halo 2 was the first in the series to do so though I'm not sure if it was the first video game in general to use a full orchestra.
44:00 These terminals are better to watch after you're done with Halo 3, or even later. They were added in the Anniversary edition of the game, ten years after the original, and after four more games in the series had come out. Some of them even have spoilers for later games too
I always love it when people play the old halo games for the first time 🙂 I love watching them experience it like I did for the first time when I was young. I would highly recommend playing it on the old graphics!
oh hell yea, Fall of Reach is good stuff, Eric Nylund also has a little known 2 book series, they're Signal to Noise and Signal Shattered and both are pretty cool in their own right
I remember being in highschool when I first played H:CE. And man, I too was blown away by that main menu music. There'd be times I'd just stay in the menu, listening to the soundtrack, mesmerized, watching the Halo ring orbit in the background.
Halo CE definitely aint janky, but it is old. I think its good to appreciate the classics. There are a lot of gems that people just assume dont live up to the hype anymore but absolutely do. Halo's one of them.
Using the MA5b? Good lass XD Also, 1:11:12 RIP to the chad marine who got stuck by a plasma grenade and jumped out of the warthog to save everyone else 😢
If they’re not too old for you, stylistically the old graphics are much better. The new ones ruin the tone and atmosphere with things like black dark areas are now like a rave lol
@lucyjrobyn I don't think the game is janky, I think people are so used to super fast shooters like Call of Duty, PUG G, or Fortnite that modern games are overly smooth to the point of brain scrambling. It is a bit awkward to come back to slowing down and pacing yourself. Lol.
Its always so fun to see people experience Halo for the first time, I love to experience it vicariously through your first time. if this does become something you are interested in and dive deeper into the books are great to give you a bit more context to the lore but the games always come first when it deals with what is canon. There are some movies and and shows that you could watch as well like The Fall of Reach which will explain what Master Chief is. Foward onto Dawn one youd have to watch after Halo 3 and before Halo 4 just for continuity sake. Also a heads up the community starts to split heavily at Halo 4 and 5, it will get very toxic ngl but in all honesty you should still go through them despite what anyone else says because at the end of the day only you can decide what you like and dont like. anyways would be nice to see this expand on your channel and watch your journey glad you like it so far.
Janky, she says. Glad you got into it and really resonated with the experience. Great introduction to a seminal entry in the pantheon of terrific games.
Hey nice playthrough! I do love seeing someone experience this amazing franchise for the first time, is so meaningful.. I've seen lots of requesting comments telling you to play the game in the original graphics, I really believe playing in whatever graphics you feel like it is fine to me, that's it, by the way, enjoy playing the game and hope you get more into the franchise, the lore is mind-blowing. Thank you for playing this game. ❤
And the algorithm brings me some more joy! It's always a treat to find someone new experiencing my favorite game series. It's like getting to play for the first time all over again! A helpful tip, you can carry two different weapons and swap with Y on the controller. You should try them all out, there's a ton of options and Halo is great about making every weapon feel unique and have different uses! Plasma weapons tend to work better against shields, while bullets work better against unshielded enemies, especially later in the game.
Halo CE is the first game in my life that I actually finished the story/campaign mode of. Halo CE and Max Payne both, I forget which one I finished first because I was less than 10 back then. Before that, I used to just start new games and play them till I got bored or reached a hard part, either way, I'd leave them unfinished.
It is so interesting to see someone playing Halo for the first time. I first played it over 10 years ago so the memories of my first experiences are foggy but it is great to relive the thrill through someone else, especially since it is so rare to find someone who's never played before.
Adding another comment - this one with suggestions (non-spoiler, non-backseat-gamer) just because I know I'll want to comment them at some stage or another 🤓 Hopefully you read these: ADS - Halo is one of those shooters that plays great without ADS, up there with Doom and Metroid. But the Pistol has a zoom, and the zoom is worth it. Halo 1 is a funny game because its Pistol is pretty much a precision rifle. WARTHOG - It will take some practice, but think of it like a boat. You need to look in the direction you want to go (use the little arrow on your screen) and then it'll drive in that direction. Do big, sharp swings in each direction rather than lots of micro turns. That's how you drive a Warthog! You're not technically turning it. Rather, it's turning for you in the direction you're facing, so face that direction early. WEAPONS - Halo has a great assortment of weapons with different functions all useful in their own right. You picked up the Plasma Pistol's strength quicker than most new players. Keep trying different weapons in different scenarios and you should enjoy the game even more! GRENADES - You can throw them much further. Master Chief has an arm on him! But you can figure out how by playing. Finally, the gameplay is designed around the Classic graphics. Play in whichever graphics mode you like - most people tend to keep switching between the two. But I'll mention an example that shows one reason I prefer the Classic graphics. If you'd played on Classic mode instead of Anniversary when looking for that Light Bridge switch, you would have found it waaay earlier due to the navigational lighting. Will be watching, however you play. The freedom of choice Halo offers is one of the best things about it. Again, can't wait to see more 😁
So glad I found your channel, welcome to my favorite franchise ever! The music is some of the best and most iconic in gaming history, so epic! Buckle up for a wild ride and amazing story!!
Always find it funny watching people play for the first time with so many questions, I still remember reading the info booklet that came with the game and getting all the details!
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 no-one. She cleverly pointed out that the covenant is a religion and I’m merely saying there’s lots of small related Easter eggs to the bible
I'm already impressed by how quickly you're catching on - and not just with gameplay, but with plot and character elements - and I'm not even halfway through this first part yet. You're a smart cookie. Be proud, and enjoy the ride.
You know it's a good sign when you just spend time appreciating the music, you should definitely consider reaction the Halo Lore videos after you've done the first 3, by then you'll know enough about the universe that it wont be spoilers, and there's so many vids to see, especially the live action trailers!
Loving the new experience, just a heads up, not a spoiler. But there will be a level called 343 guilty spark, the community recommends heavily that you play it with og graphics. Much love
@@LUCYJROBYN343 Guilty Spark and the level directly after it must be played on original graphics! New graphics completely ruin the atmosphere of the levels
A big part of Halo tactics is to understand the interaction of weapon types and enemy defense. Energy weapons like the plasma pistol, especially with a full charge, will wipe out enemy shields in a single shot, allowing slug-throwing weapons to be more effective against soft targets. So swapping between weapons to take down tough enemies can be an important strategy. Also, the Warhog handles like a boat. You typically have to oversteer to get it to point the direction you want it to go quickly.
I like that she says she feels bad for the little ones (grunts) not even knowing that the lore behind them is essencially that they were forvefully indoctrinated into the covanant and used as cannon fodder (hence why theyre called grunts). I love this and wanna watch more. You gaind a sub from me! Keep it up I loved this so much. 🐱🐱🐱
Favorite parts of this are watching you vibe out and fall in love with music of my childhood and watching tou ask the same questions I asked the first time.i played this allll those years ago! that and the 2nd mission you jumping off the building yelling" let's go!" Just dumping on the covenant Literaly had me laughing cuz that's Halo in a nutshell right there! Thanks for the great video. Definitely had me remembering my child hood with a smile.
I stumbled across your video after watching another high subbed reaction creator doing the exact same level as you and yours is far more entertaining. You are commenting through out the video and it adds so much to the experience. I can’t wait to see more. I have about half the subs as you and I love seeing the little guy own.
Its always fun to watch new upcoming players trying out our favorite halo game Series. Seems like everyday always new content creators are still discovering halo and trying it out heh.
When she’s looking for the light bridge control panel, I forgot how it feels to not know where the button is. I’ve played Halo for so long that it’s drilled into my mind where everything is. So when I watch her explore, trying to find the way, it gives me a fresh new feeling of the game.
Halo totallllyyy isn't my life's major obsession... Super excited to see somebody experience my favourite franchise (ignoring 343's stuff). FUN FACT! The singing you heard in the halo theme before you started is actually the music composser's voice.. He's a guy but he just pitch shifted his voice. Also, I have autism and this is like my special interest so it's hard to not write a 5 paragraph essay on why this game is amazing in the comments LOL
First time watcher. It is good to see you discovering Halo and finding joy from it. Also I enjoyed your reaction to music at the start of video, reminded me how epic the music is. Makes me appreciate it even more. I technically didn't finish watching the video because I feel asleep around 20mins in. (I was already tired you didn't bore me ahah). When I woke up checked youtube history to find it autoplayed played like 4 of your CE videos then switched to 2, before it switched back to CE. So I definitely watch again and catch up on your other videos. Cheers, hope you enjoy the rest of the games.
Great playthrough Lucy 👏🏿 Even though H2 was the first Halo I played. I still remember getting the MCC back in 2019 & played combat evolved for the 1st time, it blew me the hell away. 🔥
Mass Effect and Halo! 2 of my favorite older games, me and wifey recently when through this game as well. I really hope you enjoy it. Happy I found the channel! Looking forward to more :D
Don't know who you are, but seeing halo was enough for me to take a peak. I didn't know that just hearing the intro of Halo would still get me emotional to this very day. Holy shite I need to play through it again, it's been years. Thanks for taking me down memory lane😊
@@LUCYJROBYN I'll have to convince the roomies to have an old fashioned system link campaigning on halo 3😉 Hopefully the masterchief collection kept this option.

The instant falling in love with the music is beautiful. Halo CE's music is a 1000% joy to listen to.
Totally in awe of it still!
Halo has a very very special place in my heart. I grew up playing heavily and even had the collectors edition of halo 2 on the orginal xbox. Seeing people get into it for the first time is truly amazing and heartwwarming for me!
Halo Ce is basically the opposite of 'janky' in almost every way. Epic, well designed music, smooth, fluid gameplay that incorporates never before conceptualized tactics, fully functional and satisfying vehicles, HUGELY reactive enemies (they get mad, get scared, freak out, etc.) and much more, such as certain plot twists you'd never see coming that give it a dark, gritty tone.
Excited to experience all that!
@@LUCYJROBYN yeah you might regret that lol it gets pretty messed up
Lol I too took offense when she said janky.
Eh, no it's pretty janky. Just think about how you instantly die to a vehicle or turret even just slightly touching you. And the ghost in CE feels like it was made to be uncontrollably. CEA makes it even more finicky with textures not aligning to geometry making the cursed shooting things that you don't see.
@Skylancer727 cea is janky sure, but not CE. the one bit of manliness I can agree on is instant death to moving objects, but that also makes it really fun and a bit easier to splatter enemies with the warthog. But there's a difference between an overall janky game, and a solid game with a janky mechanic.
Hahahahhahah "I'm going to save everyone (marines)"
Then proceeds to kill half the squad with the warthog, and squash the warthog in the rocks.... 😂😂😂😂
😂😂 please say this is a common thing that all new players do, right? Right??
@@LUCYJROBYN not even new players, it's just one of the quirky charming things that happen in CE to everyone. Chips, Johnson and Stacker always come back though so don't feel bad about them
*T-bags* "I love that i can do this, this is very good gameplay" 😂😂
The algorithm did its thing once again and im very pleased. Brought nostalgia back when me and my cousin played this together, cant wait to see more.
Love when the algo does that! Welcome in, hope you enjoy
i love how to music basically stun locked you into staying in the main menu lol
Ahaha I kept trying to move on and it's like "but wait... THERES MORE!"
The day finally came when Halo became a throwback legend
I'm Honored to have been from the Era ..when you put the Halo CD in the OG Box..
when multi player engine hit ..
it changed the gaming world
memories are of a Golden Era
Enjoy every second 💯
Hi Lucy. Looking forward to watching this series! Something worth knowing is that Halo was released at a time when everyone read instruction manuals, so the introduction to Halo's story and universe, why the characters are where they are, is first told in this section from the manual, which people read before playing the game:
"THE STORY SO FAR...
The year is 2552. Planet Earth still exists, but overpopulation has forced many of her former residents to colonize other worlds. Faster-than-light travel is now a reality, and Earth’s unified government, through the United Nations Space Command, has put its full weight behind the colonization effort-millions of humans now live on habitable planets in other solar systems. A keystone of humanity’s colonization efforts is the planet Reach, an interstellar naval yard that builds colony ships for civilians and warships for the UNSC’s armed forces. Conveniently close to Earth, Reach is also a hub of scientific and military activity.
Twenty-seven years ago, contact with the outer colony Harvest was lost. A battlegroup sent to investigate was almost completely destroyed; only one badly damaged ship returned to Reach. Its crew told of a seemingly unstoppable alien warship that had effortlessly annihilated their forces.
This was humankind’s first encounter with a group of aliens they eventually came to know as the Covenant, a collective of alien races united in their fanatical religious devotion. Covenant religious elders declared humanity an affront to the gods, and the Covenant warrior caste waged a holy war upon humanity with gruesome diligence.
After a series of crushing defeats and obliterated colonies, UNSC Admiral Preston Cole established the Cole Protocol: no vessel may inadvertently lead the Covenant to Earth. When forced to withdraw, ships must avoid Earth-bound vectors-even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. Vessels in danger of capture must self-destruct.
On Reach, a secret military project to create cyborg super-soldiers takes on newfound importance. The soldiers of the SPARTAN-II project rack up an impressive record against the Covenant in test deployments, but there are too few of them to turn the tide of the war.
Existing SPARTAN-II soldiers are recalled to Reach for further augmentation. The plan: board a Covenant vessel with the improved SPARTAN-IIs and learn the location of the Covenant home world. Two days before the mission begins, Covenant forces strike Reach and annihilate the colony. The Covenant are now on Earth’s doorstep. One ship, the Pillar of Autumn, escapes with the last SPARTAN-II and makes a blind jump into deep space, hoping to lead the Covenant away from Earth.
YOU ARE THE MASTER CHIEF...
all that remains of a classified military project to build a series of genetically enhanced super-soldiers. You are humanity’s last and best hope against the Covenant-but you’re woefully outmatched, and survival is not guaranteed."
Anyway, hope you enjoy Halo as much as the rest of us. Can't wait to see more!
Edit: Also, for a more authentic experience (my preferred way to play) you can activate the original graphics with one of the buttons while playing and the original music from the menu. You might already know that - I'm still early into the video.
Thank you for this!! I’m going to read it with my morning coffee
@@LUCYJROBYN You're welcome!
And I saw you discovered the graphics button :D
@@LUCYJROBYN if you would like some more backstory on Chief, the events of the war and the lead up to this game i would recommend, Halo: Contact Harvest, which details the beginning of the war, Halo: The Cole Protocol, and Halo: The Fall of Reach, which is the Chiefs and other Spartan IIs backstory and is the direct prequel to this game.
On that point - this has got to be at least the 4th person I have seen start the Ganme who kept overcharging the covenant pistol, because they thought it naturally had to work like a machine gun, or semi-auto pistol.
So, if you read this, Lucy, holding it down "overcharges" and generates a shield breaker shot, but you can also rapidly click the trigger to fire weak shots, which do not kill the power cell as fast, but are more like bullets.
My sweet summer child. When you said on the 2nd level, halo, "These guys shouldn't be in combat." It made me happy. You crank that difficulty on halo and it's like playing a totally different game. Watching you play reminds me of my first play through.
Been binge watching ppl play Halo for the first time lately. Cool that you popped up on my feed and just starting it too. Hope you enjoy
Thank you, welcome!
Yes friendly fire.
The Pillar of Autumn makes a cameo in Mass Effect 2, its silhouette can bee seen in with the junk floating around just after you go through the Omega relay into the Collectors space.
Omg cool! I will have to go find it
Love watching people play the Halo Franchise for the first time. Looking forward to future episodes! Installation00 Standing by.
Welcome!🙏🏼 I look forward to watching some of your vids once I’ve got a bit further in the games
if you put on the old graphics you can see this better, but you can see it happen with the new graphics- on the elites - they have shields like you - when you are shooting them you can see the shield "pop" once this happen switch to the pistol and one headshot takes them out (they are usually stunned or angry when this happens)
also note when you hear the beep beep beep you shields are low and you need cover to let the them charge.
The plasma pistol that charges up - take shields out instantly and it tracks too, charge fire - while the ball is in flight switch to pistol and as soon as it land pop enemy in the head :)
Thank you!
This has been my favorite video to watch in a long time. Seeing someone enjoy Halo CE for the first time and essentially experience the thrills and excitement that I experienced when I first played it some 20 years ago is honestly so wholesome. Hope you enjoyed the game and keep playing through the franchise. The story is honestly so dang good and the gameplay only gets better. Cheers!
Thank you for such a lovely comment, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos!💚
I'd recommend avoiding the terminals in future; they were an addition for the 2011 anniversary edition and while not containing spoilers they're more intended for players who are already familiar with where the story goes. They'll only serve to confuse you. I also recommend using the old graphics as the anniversary graphics fail to capture a lot of the atmosphere and mood of game especially in some of the later levels.
Also the Australian marine is named Chips Dubbo and as an Australian myself he is obviously my favourite character.
Yeah I was left very confused after watching that first one ha! I’ll come back to them later 😊 thanks
This is good advice, they don't make a lot of sense without the context of the in-game stories already being in your head.
Sgt. Johnson is just the best. He’s just got the right kind of attitude that would make anyone follow him into battle. Lore fact for you, Master Chief is actually his rank. I think you’ll greatly enjoy this series. After I was able to get my own Xbox, the MCC was one of the first things I got on it. So different playing as an adult who can retain all the things vs being a kid playing it at a friend’s house
I agree, I was excited to go into battle with him!
@@LUCYJROBYN Sgt Johnson has different lines for his intro speech on each difficulty. They get more badass and ridiculous on higher levels. Check out the cutscenes if you get a chance
@@LUCYJROBYN A secret bit of lore for Johnson that you don't get in any of the games. I'll leave space so you can avoid the spoiler if you don't want to see it.
While Master Chief and his generation of Spartans are considered Spartan II's, Johnson could be considered a Spartan I. This is why he doesn't get infected by the flood like everyone else that was with Keyes.
just bringing this to your attention. its a pretty big consensus that the original graphics for halo CE has a better “atmosphere” than the remaster.
but if you play halo2, that remaster is AMAZING!!!
Looking forward to it!
I say this all the time: I absolutely love that the design aesthetic for the UNSC ships is essentially “here’s a giant gun, now strap an engine to it”
Lmaooo class
Gotta respect using bursts with the AR. It's truly a bullet hose but accuracy with it is a very Spartan thing to do
Is there another way I should try?
@@LUCYJROBYN maybe try using a few more of the different weapons. The AR is decent against most enemies but the human pistol is insane and makes gameplay very fun. The covenant weapons are generally less effective but they can be fun to mess around with.
And every weapon has a cool looking melee attack that you’ll want to abuse so don’t miss that. Love the videos.
@@LUCYJROBYN that pistol that the captain gave you is the best weapon in the game
The plasma pistol's charged up shot can DISABLE VEHICLES. You'll need that later on
@@LUCYJROBYN Shotgun with a quick punch is a solid way to deal damage to elites, charged plasma pistol and a headshot from the magnum (noob combo) is also a solid choice. Grunts and jackals you pretty much just want headshots but elites and hunters you should attack from behind if you can. I know you're a couple episodes in now so I'm sure you're learning the feel of the weapons. If you want to try something many of us did back in the day, try a rocket jump into a snipe, doesn't matter what you get but it feels amazing to do
Someone could play this game for the first time a hubdred years kn the future and they still will be blown away by the music. Theres a lot that separates Halo from everything else, but the music will always be a class above everything else out there.
It's sooo unique, I love it
Halo CE, Halo 2 & Halo 3 are the greatest games ever made
Change my mind
watching you experience the music for the first time is amazing in and of itself, even without the game
Okay, I'm two minutes in and your reaction to the music has sold me - another sister joins the ranks of Halo music appreciators and you've got me subbed and watching this series!! I really hope the gets you playing all the games! Going through the campaign blind with friends, and watching others do blind runs, is one of my favorite things with this series. No spoilers from me - just enjoy!
Also one more note on the music - Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori created all the music for the original trilogy (plus ODST and Reach). Marty is a regular on RUclips now and likes to pop into the comments of videos for playthroughs (especially if you like the music!). He really is an impressive composer and there are *so many* fantastic themes that wind their way through all the games, rewarding you for paying attention to it. With the theme I always felt an Irish vibe in there too - I wonder if it isn't the mode that it's in (Dorian)? The monks chanting definitely gives a mystical, vaguely Druidic and monasterial vibe to me. Anyway, cheers!!
Wooo welcome and thank you! I was really taken aback by the music, it’s so epic
@@LUCYJROBYN I hope you stick it out to Halo 3 - by then they had a full orchestra to work with and it takes this music to a whole other level! Enjoy 😊
Knowing this was your first ever time playing, it crushed my soul seeing how quickly you navigated the maze in the first level. I played again last week and I STILL get lost there lmao. Great video!
It's always fun watching a new player trying to get use to the gameplay, especially in the Warthog, while also trying to keep other marines alive and seeing their reaction when it doesn't go to plan.
Haha I'm glad you enjoy!
We're glad to have you, lass - through 8 main games, and two RTS 💪
I’m so ready!
@@LUCYJROBYN As someone who beta tested CE (ask to see my special nameplate), I spend a lot of time lately watching people experience the franchise for the first time - so if you ever have a question, feel free to ask me or any of us here... and, yes, there are novels which are all 100% canon save for the very first one that has been 50% retconned in years since due to it being finished both before CE was finalized *and* before Bungie realized that Halo was going to be a massive franchise
I've played halo since 2001. Got all the achievements save for laso and sub 2 hour legendary runs. And at 10:16 I've never heard that line before. It's amazing the little details
Love that! Glad to share something new with a true vet 😊
The voice of the Master Chief is Steve Downes. How many teenagers fell in love with Cortana? Just wait until you see her appearance in Halo 4?
Do not underestimate the magnum pistol. It may be small and shoot one round but you can do serious damage with it. I survived half of the Pillar of Autumn mission using mostly the Magnum. If you can shoot the hunters in the back with it, you can take em down in one or two shots. And shooting grunts in the head with it is almost just as if not more fun then melee attacks. Also welcome to Halo!
Lucy, Welcome to the family. You have a new sub now ❣
Thank you! I feel right at home already.
“When you first heard Halo music, were you blinded by its majesty?”
omg, I'm so glad you've picked this up. hope you have a blast!
Thank you! It's been so fun
I was 9 years old when this game came out. This game changed my life forever and the music has been so damn iconic even to this day. I wish Halo collection was on playstation 😒
I am loving your gameplay, keep at it!
If you are interested in finding more about lore, the "little ones" that keep running away from you, are the Ungoi. Don't want to spoil anything in case you want to find out for yourself but their lore explains why they seem to be untrained and scared when you kill their leaders. It is also a sad plot for a race.
Halo has a lot of lore on the internet and comics explain a lot of the things the game doesn't cover.
Oh nooo I'm about to have my heart broken even more!
One of the reasons why this game is iconic is it is the first video game to use a full orchestra.
Very cool! I still can’t get over how good the music is
@@LUCYJROBYN Xbox had it together back then. Mass Effect was also a product of Xbox. Notice that music. It didn't become available to PlayStation until EA bought them.
Combat Evolved doesn't use a real orchestra, Halo 2 was the first in the series to do so though I'm not sure if it was the first video game in general to use a full orchestra.
I'm pretty sure CE's music was all synths and done on computer. Halo 2 or 3 was the first to use an orchestra in the series.
Another gem from the past is the Fable series.
Yes! I think I played Fable 2 but I hardly remember anything about it.
44:00
These terminals are better to watch after you're done with Halo 3, or even later. They were added in the Anniversary edition of the game, ten years after the original, and after four more games in the series had come out. Some of them even have spoilers for later games too
Noted, thanks!
I always love it when people play the old halo games for the first time 🙂 I love watching them experience it like I did for the first time when I was young. I would highly recommend playing it on the old graphics!
oh hell yea, Fall of Reach is good stuff, Eric Nylund also has a little known 2 book series, they're Signal to Noise and Signal Shattered and both are pretty cool in their own right
I remember being in highschool when I first played H:CE.
And man, I too was blown away by that main menu music. There'd be times I'd just stay in the menu, listening to the soundtrack, mesmerized, watching the Halo ring orbit in the background.
The music in this game just evokes something so primal and powerful. They did NOT need to go this hard but I'm so glad they did.
these games have such amazing storytelling. Odst was my personal fave
Loving the vehicle mishaps 😂 don't worry, I think we all started there
Ahaha I got most kills by vehicle I think
Halo CE definitely aint janky, but it is old. I think its good to appreciate the classics. There are a lot of gems that people just assume dont live up to the hype anymore but absolutely do. Halo's one of them.
I totally agree!
Using the MA5b? Good lass XD Also, 1:11:12 RIP to the chad marine who got stuck by a plasma grenade and jumped out of the warthog to save everyone else 😢
Omg we will remember him😢
@@Bulbman123 I'm a real kit snob in halo . None of that covenant junk , just unsc issue for me
@@garypeyman932 Plasma grenades gat a pass XD
@@Bulbman123 yeah , I'll give you that 🙂
If they’re not too old for you, stylistically the old graphics are much better. The new ones ruin the tone and atmosphere with things like black dark areas are now like a rave lol
I've been flipping between the two, which I really appreciate having the option to do!
How I envy you! This game is still one of my favorites to this day. And yeah, the music ❤
0:15 JANKY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! You take that back
Listennn people told me Mass Effect 1 would be janky too and I LOVED that!
@lucyjrobyn I don't think the game is janky, I think people are so used to super fast shooters like Call of Duty, PUG G, or Fortnite that modern games are overly smooth to the point of brain scrambling. It is a bit awkward to come back to slowing down and pacing yourself. Lol.
@@fenrir7878 defo, not being able to sprint in this game really took a lot to get used to!
@@LUCYJROBYN sprinting was something that evolved through the series. It didn't exist in any games like that until the 360.
Its always so fun to see people experience Halo for the first time, I love to experience it vicariously through your first time. if this does become something you are interested in and dive deeper into the books are great to give you a bit more context to the lore but the games always come first when it deals with what is canon. There are some movies and and shows that you could watch as well like The Fall of Reach which will explain what Master Chief is. Foward onto Dawn one youd have to watch after Halo 3 and before Halo 4 just for continuity sake. Also a heads up the community starts to split heavily at Halo 4 and 5, it will get very toxic ngl but in all honesty you should still go through them despite what anyone else says because at the end of the day only you can decide what you like and dont like. anyways would be nice to see this expand on your channel and watch your journey glad you like it so far.
Thanks for the heads up! I will defo play through them all.
Janky, she says. Glad you got into it and really resonated with the experience. Great introduction to a seminal entry in the pantheon of terrific games.
Loving it! People also told me that Mass Effect 1 would be janky, but I loved that so much. I think I have a thing for old space games.
Hey nice playthrough! I do love seeing someone experience this amazing franchise for the first time, is so meaningful..
I've seen lots of requesting comments telling you to play the game in the original graphics, I really believe playing in whatever graphics you feel like it is fine to me, that's it, by the way, enjoy playing the game and hope you get more into the franchise, the lore is mind-blowing.
Thank you for playing this game. ❤
And the algorithm brings me some more joy! It's always a treat to find someone new experiencing my favorite game series. It's like getting to play for the first time all over again!
A helpful tip, you can carry two different weapons and swap with Y on the controller. You should try them all out, there's a ton of options and Halo is great about making every weapon feel unique and have different uses! Plasma weapons tend to work better against shields, while bullets work better against unshielded enemies, especially later in the game.
Halo CE is the first game in my life that I actually finished the story/campaign mode of. Halo CE and Max Payne both, I forget which one I finished first because I was less than 10 back then. Before that, I used to just start new games and play them till I got bored or reached a hard part, either way, I'd leave them unfinished.
Awww that is awesome! That is high praise
It is so interesting to see someone playing Halo for the first time. I first played it over 10 years ago so the memories of my first experiences are foggy but it is great to relive the thrill through someone else, especially since it is so rare to find someone who's never played before.
I do really wish that the anniversary graphics weren't the default. I so wish people's first experience was the original graphics D:
Absolutely love that you are playing halo combat evolved. My true favourite of the series. Phenomenal video and gameplay Lucy. Stay awesome
Adding another comment - this one with suggestions (non-spoiler, non-backseat-gamer) just because I know I'll want to comment them at some stage or another 🤓 Hopefully you read these:
ADS - Halo is one of those shooters that plays great without ADS, up there with Doom and Metroid. But the Pistol has a zoom, and the zoom is worth it. Halo 1 is a funny game because its Pistol is pretty much a precision rifle.
WARTHOG - It will take some practice, but think of it like a boat. You need to look in the direction you want to go (use the little arrow on your screen) and then it'll drive in that direction. Do big, sharp swings in each direction rather than lots of micro turns. That's how you drive a Warthog! You're not technically turning it. Rather, it's turning for you in the direction you're facing, so face that direction early.
WEAPONS - Halo has a great assortment of weapons with different functions all useful in their own right. You picked up the Plasma Pistol's strength quicker than most new players. Keep trying different weapons in different scenarios and you should enjoy the game even more!
GRENADES - You can throw them much further. Master Chief has an arm on him! But you can figure out how by playing.
Finally, the gameplay is designed around the Classic graphics. Play in whichever graphics mode you like - most people tend to keep switching between the two. But I'll mention an example that shows one reason I prefer the Classic graphics. If you'd played on Classic mode instead of Anniversary when looking for that Light Bridge switch, you would have found it waaay earlier due to the navigational lighting.
Will be watching, however you play. The freedom of choice Halo offers is one of the best things about it. Again, can't wait to see more 😁
Thank you for all of this! I am so excited to explore more of this game and the series. Welcome!
So glad I found your channel, welcome to my favorite franchise ever! The music is some of the best and most iconic in gaming history, so epic! Buckle up for a wild ride and amazing story!!
The music is so iconic! I'm already obsessed. Welcome!
Always find it funny watching people play for the first time with so many questions, I still remember reading the info booklet that came with the game and getting all the details!
This comment section is just spectacular. Theres lots of refrences to the bible in halo, so well done for pointing out that out.
Who is talking about that?
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 no-one. She cleverly pointed out that the covenant is a religion and I’m merely saying there’s lots of small related Easter eggs to the bible
Oo hopefully I can spot some more
The best music in video games. BY FAR.
It’s pretty great
I'm already impressed by how quickly you're catching on - and not just with gameplay, but with plot and character elements - and I'm not even halfway through this first part yet. You're a smart cookie. Be proud, and enjoy the ride.
You know it's a good sign when you just spend time appreciating the music, you should definitely consider reaction the Halo Lore videos after you've done the first 3, by then you'll know enough about the universe that it wont be spoilers, and there's so many vids to see, especially the live action trailers!
I was really shocked by the music, I had heard it was good but wow! Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be sure to record those some time.
I knew i subbed to you for a reason lol welcome to the world of halo this franchise is very lore heavy enjoy!
I love that! Thanks for watching
Loving the new experience, just a heads up, not a spoiler. But there will be a level called 343 guilty spark, the community recommends heavily that you play it with og graphics. Much love
Oo interesting, I should play that mission tomorrow so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
@@burn2d8 And the biggest twist of the game, would love to see the reaction 😄
@@markymark5090 A twist is not that much of a twist when you tell a person "Hey, there's a twist coming."
@@--mr4yo Yeah, unfortunately her Twitch chat will most likely go like "Ooh, here it comes!" constantly.
@@LUCYJROBYN343 Guilty Spark and the level directly after it must be played on original graphics! New graphics completely ruin the atmosphere of the levels
I'm always down to Halo playthrough by a person with passion for art. Thank you for the upload! (Press Back to switch graphics.)
Welcome! Thanks
A big part of Halo tactics is to understand the interaction of weapon types and enemy defense. Energy weapons like the plasma pistol, especially with a full charge, will wipe out enemy shields in a single shot, allowing slug-throwing weapons to be more effective against soft targets. So swapping between weapons to take down tough enemies can be an important strategy.
Also, the Warhog handles like a boat. You typically have to oversteer to get it to point the direction you want it to go quickly.
I just found your channel and I Immediately loved the way you play respecting the game and enjoying every detail even if it's an old one
This and Mass effect are my favorite games of all time. Pretty cool playing them back to back. :D
Ohh that's so cool! What a coincidence haha
I like that she says she feels bad for the little ones (grunts) not even knowing that the lore behind them is essencially that they were forvefully indoctrinated into the covanant and used as cannon fodder (hence why theyre called grunts). I love this and wanna watch more. You gaind a sub from me! Keep it up I loved this so much. 🐱🐱🐱
Anniversary graphics are brutal. Maybe it’s just nostalgia but I feel like the game looks and feels 100% better with the old graphics.
It's not just you, and it's not just nostalgia. Anniversary is abysmal.
You got Cortana's most famous line in the midst of driving off the cliff and dying, lmao.
Oops😂
Favorite parts of this are watching you vibe out and fall in love with music of my childhood and watching tou ask the same questions I asked the first time.i played this allll those years ago! that and the 2nd mission you jumping off the building yelling" let's go!" Just dumping on the covenant Literaly had me laughing cuz that's Halo in a nutshell right there! Thanks for the great video. Definitely had me remembering my child hood with a smile.
Awww this is so cool! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching 🙏🏼❤️
I stumbled across your video after watching another high subbed reaction creator doing the exact same level as you and yours is far more entertaining. You are commenting through out the video and it adds so much to the experience. I can’t wait to see more. I have about half the subs as you and I love seeing the little guy own.
Its always fun to watch new upcoming players trying out our favorite halo game Series. Seems like everyday always new content creators are still discovering halo and trying it out heh.
When she’s looking for the light bridge control panel, I forgot how it feels to not know where the button is.
I’ve played Halo for so long that it’s drilled into my mind where everything is.
So when I watch her explore, trying to find the way, it gives me a fresh new feeling of the game.
The first two minutes of this video are just amazing. Marty never fails to deliver!
The music for this game was amazing when it first came out and it’s still amazing
Your new sub, I am gonna be exited once you get to Halo 2 where they start cooking the story more
Welcome!😁
Halo totallllyyy isn't my life's major obsession...
Super excited to see somebody experience my favourite franchise (ignoring 343's stuff).
FUN FACT! The singing you heard in the halo theme before you started is actually the music composser's voice.. He's a guy but he just pitch shifted his voice.
Also, I have autism and this is like my special interest so it's hard to not write a 5 paragraph essay on why this game is amazing in the comments LOL
First time watcher. It is good to see you discovering Halo and finding joy from it.
Also I enjoyed your reaction to music at the start of video, reminded me how epic the music is. Makes me appreciate it even more.
I technically didn't finish watching the video because I feel asleep around 20mins in. (I was already tired you didn't bore me ahah).
When I woke up checked youtube history to find it autoplayed played like 4 of your CE videos then switched to 2, before it switched back to CE.
So I definitely watch again and catch up on your other videos.
Cheers, hope you enjoy the rest of the games.
Great playthrough Lucy 👏🏿 Even though H2 was the first Halo I played. I still remember getting the MCC back in 2019 & played combat evolved for the 1st time, it blew me the hell away. 🔥
Mass Effect and Halo! 2 of my favorite older games, me and wifey recently when through this game as well. I really hope you enjoy it. Happy I found the channel! Looking forward to more :D
Welcome!😊 thank you for watching
This Sound is incredible 💚🥰😍
Best Soundtrack of All Time 💚
Watching you reaction to first hearing the music takes me aaaaalll the way back. We all felt the same!
I recommend reading some halo lore! Youll enjoy it. Theres so much story and life to what halo is!
I recommend listening to hiddenexperia he's a halo content creator. You'll learn a lot from him!
Don't know who you are, but seeing halo was enough for me to take a peak. I didn't know that just hearing the intro of Halo would still get me emotional to this very day. Holy shite I need to play through it again, it's been years. Thanks for taking me down memory lane😊
Play again!! Thanks for watching :)
@@LUCYJROBYN I'll have to convince the roomies to have an old fashioned system link campaigning on halo 3😉 Hopefully the masterchief collection kept this option.
Wait till she hears the halo 2 mjonir guitar 🫡🫡🫡🫡
Aahhhhh
As a life long Halo gamer, you’ll love this franchise more than any other! Have fun! P.S. the music is amazing throughout.
