From what I read right after the release of the video, this was from demo tape from a welsh group. The company that it was sent to, lost the contact information and could not get back in touch with the group. It's incredibly short, because the company asked for short sample songs. I know that a world wide call went out for the group, but NO ONE ever responded! I wish some one could get in touch with the Welsh Board of Heritage and get them to make a call to all the folk groups there! Maybe then the world would have to wait no longer.
Since i am seeing people posting fake lyrics, i thought i post the real lyrics. These are the words spoken in Gaelish/Welsh: "Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugol yn wiriol sydd. Ni fydd neb yn ein Drechu, Falch ydy ni i drochu, Traed o flaen i'r Annwn, mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni.'' Which translate into English as: "We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise."
Helljumper, Helljumper, where you been? Feet first into hell and back again! When I die please bury me deep! Place an MA5 down by my feet! Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! Just pack my box with PT gear! Cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five! The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! Don't you worry, don't come undone It's just my ghost on a PT run!
"My mamma, can't you see, "What this Corps has done for me. "Put me in a barber's chair, "Snip snap, and I had no hair. "If I die in a combat zone, "Box me up and ship me home. "Put me in a set of dress blues, "Comb my hair and shine my shoes. "Pin my medals upon my chest, "Tell my mamma I did my best. "My mamma, can't you tell? "The motto is feet first into hell!" - Orbital Drop Shock Troopers
"Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugol yn wiriol sydd. Ni fydd neb yn ein Drechu, Falch ydy ni i drochu, Traed o flaen i'r Annwn, mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni." "We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us. We are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise."
This song motivates me. I can't put my finger on it--what exactly, but it's the type of feeling you get when you're getting right back up after a blow, and you win over whatever you're struggling over. It's certainly a dark, powerful feeling. It almost makes you feel badass and draws you in. Perfect for tackling on homework lol. After many years, here I am returning to this song.
I can probably name 50 different occasions where Spartans/a Spartan fought fleets, armies and monsters completely alone. ODST are badass, but holy fucknuggets you're wrong if you think they're more badass than Spartans. They went through ODST training on steriods.
golden eyeRA Spartans are created of people with extremely good genetics. Perfect for endurance, strenght and aggression. They started their training at 5-6. Even without their armor and steriods, they're still more intelligent, faster and stronger than their ODST counterparts. And even being superhumans, a good chunk of the children died during their enhancements. Not a single ODST soldier would even survive these steriods.
golden eyeRA If you read The Fall of Reach, you would know that John at a young age fought ODST's by himself: "Four ODSTs confronted John during his first visit to the Atlas' gym; their sergeant then ordered the four of them into the boxing ring. In the ensuing fight, John killed two of the ODSTs, and left the others severely injured, an incident which quickly blossomed into major resentment for the whole SPARTAN program throughout the Marine Corps." That was young John with no armor. Also you're wrong on the subject of morals and not really caring, Project Orion and Spartan 4's were former Spec Ops, Spartan 2's were indoctrinated into wanting to be the best (So that is their reason to fight.) . Spartan 3's were picked as orphans and given the option to be a Spartan to get back at the Covenant.Etc Etc... (Another reason.) They all had a reason to fight. So to answer your question, yes without a shadow of doubt Spartans would win hands down.
I tend to think this about a lot of mortal-badass soldiers v super-soldiers, at least in terms of sheer impressiveness and balls. The super-soldiers, ultimately, may get the job done where the mortal may not, but it takes a serious set of brass ones to go up against inhuman foes with just old-fashioned human grit.
***** yeah actually if the power to the suit fails u die if u get hit in the back of the head or anywhere hard enough his connection with the suit is gone and he is crushed by a thousand pounds and if they shoot the exo joints the exo skeleton would fail and he would be stuck with a thousand pounds to bear and again crushed by his own suit
+ace touzin except the joints are nearly impossible to penetrate with the average assault rifle round, as stated in the books, the body suit itself is hella strong, and i feel like the connection being knocked out is a no no, game theory made a point but remember, they are super soldiers that can lift, and hit HARD, not to mention the suit amplifies their speed, strength and overall stamina. not even another spartan IV was able to combat master chief, as his combat experience is ALSO greater then most :P
On the first command, it is Attention, not ten hut. Ten hut is rarely used, if ever, or at least from my experience. It's generally, Whatever size the unit is, or the unit in this case is probably honor guard, so I would guess it goes something like this "HONOR GUARD... ATTENTION! PRESENT... ARMS! READY... FIRE!" etc. Sorry for nitpicking xD just bugs me when people use Ten Hut instead of Attention xD
I played this song to my friend over xbox live for her because her Grandma died and the song fit perfectly and she said it really fit her mood at the time thanks
I hear you man. I feel the same way. But I am a Marine so I use this song when I am on training events and I slap motivating theme songs like this one, light of Aiden.
***** Not most. Some. Maybe 3 or four out of the hundreds (with exceptions like the drop over New Mombasa but, well, there was KIND OF A SLIPSPACE RUPTURE...). Most of their casualties were on the ground.
+Alertcriminal Thank you, I mean I personally enjoyed Halo 4 and love the chief and Spartans but ODST is still probably my favorite, I don't know why I just think they`re awesome and it`s so refreshing to see someone else appreciate the game its a nice change of pace from the constant bashing of it I see everywhere.
I completely agree I remember being really pissed when I beat Halo 4, But then I took a minute to think about it and decided to go back and play some Combat Evolved and then it hit me, Halo 4 had an absolutely amazing campaign the only problem was I was expecting a game like Halo 3 but the thing about Halo 3 was that Bungie had worked on Halo for years by that point my expectations were to high and I didn`t stop to think about how this was 343`s first attempt at a Halo game without Bungie. What I`m saying is 343 was still a newbie and you can`t expect their first game to be the equivalent of Bungie who is a seasoned veteran and defending champ when it comes to Halo games and Halo 4 only seems bad because it isn`t at the same level as we Halo fans are used to, and if you don`t believe me go back and play CE I think you`ll be pleasantly surprised by how similar the games are in terms of campaign quality.
Also would like to point out, this version which is used in the trailer, is different from the actual song "Lament by Light of Aidan". In the original, it does translate to something different, because this version used in the ODST trailer is a version changed to fit the ODST theme, thus the lyrics being "We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise." instead of the original songs lyrics, which are: "Say you will not return Sweetheart, since you flew away I have no summer Only the worst of winter Since I lost you." Hurray, now everyone knows both versions of the song!
"When I die please bury me deep! place in MI5 down by my feet! don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! just pack my box with PT gear! 'cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five! the ground will Rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! don't you worry, don't come undone! it's just my ghost on a PT run!" - U.N.S.C. marching song (Usually only sung by ODSTs, due to them being more serious and somber) (On another side note I can't find anything that makes ODSTs not look badass)
Haha I understand every word, its British/welsh XD Lyrics are : We cheat death from his rightful victory No one can defeat us we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise. And my army of brothers went over the hilltops, drenched in blood we may be but fighting is all left to me Together with my army of brothers... down we fall... darkness in all through hell Ah flundi eni, ohr vidi, gal ah un vere yulsi Ni vik ni, an hine veni, vie fadi ni ee, troni Blide oh vline ranun, yunagwei, bore dile vey gore du ni Ah flundi eni, ohr vidi, gal ah un vere yulsi Blide oh vline ranun, yunagwei, bore dile vey gore du ni!
"Blood is red, our armor is black. Kill us and kill us but we'll just come back. Raid our bases, you might just get by; But before you know it we'll come from the sky." ODSTs, feet first into hell
Gafflwn Dihenydd O'r Fuddugol wiriol sydd Ni fydd neb yn ein drechu Falch ydy ni i drochu Draed o'r flaen i'r Annwn Mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni. We cheat death From his rightful victory No one can overcome us We are glad to plunge Feet first into Annwn In the knowledge we will rise.
As others have said it's Welsh but the cadence and syllable grouping is mangled almost to the point of incomprehensibility; probably to give it a more ominous, off-kilter feel. Even being fluent in the language, and having watched the original trailer a bunch of times and loving the music, I didn't realise it was Welsh until I saw the lyrics written down.
So I’ve gotta bit of a story for everyone. I grew up on halo, and I was around 15 when ODST came out, and me and my friends would play this game and all of the other Halos every weekend. The amount of times we played them together and the LAN party’s, and the countless cosplaying, we become true friends with these games. So it comes to my senior year and I decided to get those guys together and all just hangout. We all started just hanging out, and all that and we started talking about halo, and around this time, it had been a few years since Reach had been out, and we missed doing all of it. Then I remembered seeing this video on RUclips, and I went and grabbed my laptop and hooked it up to my speakers, and just played it with no context, and everyone’s faces then immediately looked like they had seen a ghost, my best friend Eric even started crying. If this story doesn’t give testimony to how large of an impact Halo has left on peoples lives, I don’t know what will.
Halo isn't just a game to us its part of who we are ODST Spartan Standard marine Ether way we all wish it was real in some way or another I do believe ODST will one day come
+omgITzWolfy All that needs to be done is the Air Force for the U.S Needs to give all the planes to either the Army, or Marines, then join up with NASA.. there you go a good start :)
+Minecast_snxid would there even be a purpose to a naval spartan other than "hey I know you're a killing machine raised to kill since 7 but can you just move some heavy shit?"
"When the sky darkens and the sun falls So too do the shadows descend from the abyss of space And when the shadows hit the ground They tremble the earth...And their enemies fall." As the covenant hudles together in their makeshift light...They try so very hard too hide.The hell jumpers are the monster that lurks in the dark.And ultimately consumes them.
This video has been a constant in my life, I have watched it so many times over the years. Through hell, through happiness and through sadness. And I will continue to do so.
An ODST's path is through haze, fire and ruins.There will be sacrifices, losses and pain. For each sacrifice there is an equal act of valor and courage. For each loss a re-commitment to never submit. For every ounce of pain, a pound returned to those who dealt it. We Are...ODST
Yeah but odst are soliders who go first into battle we take the most casualties we fight to the last man we go First into hell, then we are the last outta heaven thats our motto
For anyone still arguing the tune behind the song is Light Of Aiden - Lament The actual lyrics of this version were written specifically for ODST, they aren't the same as the original Lament. That's why they seem to so perfectly fit the ODSTs, such as "feet first into hell". Both versions are Welsh, though the soldiers in the trailer speak Hungarian
The most amazing thing about Halo is that every nation on earth fights together against the Covenant. Today it's out of imagination that the Nations on earth will ever be united and peacefull to one another. That is what amazes me, that the earth itself is very strong and hard to kill IF we fight together. But today everyone on it wants a peace of the cake and even betrays it's own race.
Normally patriotism bothers me since it’s at the expense of another nation or culture, but I love all the patriotic comments here. Although it’s fiction, it’s nice to see people being patriotic about just being a human fighting for humanity. Not for Murica or mother Russia, but for all people everywhere. That’s why sci-fi universes with a united earth are so beautiful to watch. The federation in Star Trek and the UNSC in Halo show the best of humanity. If this universe existed, I’d be proud to be an ODST 👊🏼 🇺🇳
Most of the crew - not to mention your fellow jarheads - will be leaving the ship in lifeboats. They'll ride to the surface in air conditioned comfort, sipping wine, and nibbling on appetizers. Not you, however. Oh no, you're going to leave the Pillar of Autumn in a different method. Tell me boys and girls… how will you leave?
Light of Aiden Lament - Lyrics Ah flundi eni, ohr vidi, gal ah un vere yulsi Ni vik ni, an hine veni, vie fadi ni ee, troni Blide oh vline ranun, yunagwei, bore dile vey gore du ni Ah flundi eni, ohr vidi, gal ah un vere yulsi Blide oh vline ranun, yunagwei, bore dile vey gore du ni! And my army of brothers went over the hilltops, drenched in blood we may be... but fighting is all left to me... Together with my army of brothers... down we fall... darkness in all... through hell
My gramps last wish before he died was to put this theme on for his funeral. Since he was a war veteran, it makes sense. Rest In Peace, dear beloved....
I ask all who dare take the challenge! Who, out of all of you, would choose to either be a ODST or a Spartan? Whichever you choose, the mortality rates are extremely are ridiculously high. Choose your road in life soldier. Would rather be boots first into hell, or a warrior that doesn't die but just goes missing?
depends what you mean by "spartan" sgt. johnson is a spartan 1. chief is a spartan 2. theres the spartan 3's which are okay. and the glorified odst spartan 4's. if spartan 2 isnt the option, then odst, there second best.
Man I'd be a spartan 2, spartan 1s are not so special, spartan 3s are pretty good and spartan 4s aren't even Spartans in my book. If not a spartan 2 or 3, then I'd be a ODST. Sounds fun dropping from orbit.
I sat there on the bridge of my prowler and watched helplessly as the covies glassed another colony. My fleet was destroyed and we couldn't power up in fear that they would find us. All we could do was float aimlessly, hoping that we wouldn't collide with the wreckage of another warship or one of the thousands of destroyed civilian transports around us; one day I'll be able to kill all these bastards, this I promised myself. -UNSC Infinity head engineer.
Spartans are badass but you have to respect the bond that all helljumpers share. Spartans seem to be largely antisocial and sociopathic armored killing machines. In that way they are not much different from a Scorpion tank. But ODSTs? They have to work as a team, and by doing so they share a bond that lasts a lifetime. Personally, I'd be an ODST over Spartan any day of the week.
Comic Kazii But what happens when one of your team members dies? You and the rest of your team feel the impact. Spartans who operate mainly solo most likely won't be dragged down by this kind of thing.
I have a lot of respect for spartan 2's but mentally they aren't humans anymore. They show just as little emotion to a ally dying in battle as they would if they spilled some milk, and when you are at the point where you are closest to feel emotionally hurt is when your AI dies, you know you are no longer human in mind. ODST May be inferior, but at least they have humanity and morality left and fight those emotions when they try to drag Them down like all humans do
Magmakarp Grief is part of life and death. It's one of the things separating man from machine. I'd rather maintain my humanity than become a war machine.
Coming back to this video over 10 years later from 2009, after the game dropped. It’s been so long, but the full song got released. I remember listening to this back in the day.
“He killed my father and murdered my people. That means nothing to me. Strength is the only thing that matters in this world. Everything else is just a delusion for the weak.” -Vegeta
Helljumper Helljumper. Where you been? First First into hell and back again If I die bury me deep place my MA5 by my feet Don't cry for me. Don't Shed a tear.
I'll never forgive the devs for not releasing this song.
Amen to that.
so many years and I'm still waiting for it!
From what I read right after the release of the video, this was from demo tape from a welsh group. The company that it was sent to, lost the contact information and could not get back in touch with the group. It's incredibly short, because the company asked for short sample songs. I know that a world wide call went out for the group, but NO ONE ever responded! I wish some one could get in touch with the Welsh Board of Heritage and get them to make a call to all the folk groups there! Maybe then the world would have to wait no longer.
This song is in the new King Arthur movie and its also on the movie soundtrack
it's in the King Arthur soundtrack under the name "The Politics & The Life"
hearing this play in the beginning of King Arthur, Legend of the Sword, I was sure ODST drop pods would land on top of the war elephants
Yes
Couldn't have hurt the movie any.
Mike Brammer may have made the movie better
That was wild berry. different song, similar beat
I thought that same shit. Got me juiced for some drop pods and ass kicking ODSTs
"our job is not to escape the afterlife, but to make sure its crowded when we get there"
Hooah!
Ooorah!
Hoorah!

Jeffrey Li Hooah
In my opinion Halo ODST was a masterpiece because the tone was just amazing and the story telling was beautiful
DarthRambo I so agree with you and also another settlement needs your help
The only thing I did not like about ODST is that it still feels like your a Spartan.
Tbh the trailer hyped it up to be a different game than what we got ya know? But still it’s a great game
Halo 3 odst in my opinion was the best halo campaign
@@TB--sp9wy I can see that but honestly you gotta think about it, ODSTs are fucking badass imagine a spartan without armor and shields
Since i am seeing people posting fake lyrics, i thought i post the real lyrics. These are the words spoken in Gaelish/Welsh:
"Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugol yn wiriol sydd. Ni fydd neb yn ein Drechu, Falch ydy ni i drochu, Traed o flaen i'r Annwn, mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni.''
Which translate into English as:
"We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise."
Just Welsh. Gaelic is completely different.

Those are correct lyrics. Google/RUclips struggles to translate Welsh, always have.

It's the feeling of knowing you're doomed but you still have a fight to carry.
ODST > Spartans
No big armor, no support, no shield, no super force of death. Just your squad, your gun and your balls behind enemy's lines.
I can probably name 50 different occasions where Spartans/a Spartan fought fleets, armies and monsters completely alone.

It's sad to say I've gone off Halo now. I barely had the will to finish Halo 4, if they made another ODST game thatd get me back into it.

In the original, it does translate to something different, because this version used in the ODST trailer is a version changed to fit the ODST theme, thus the lyrics being
"We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise."
instead of the original songs lyrics, which are:
"Say you will not return
Sweetheart, since you flew away
I have no summer
Only the worst of winter
Since I lost you."
Hurray, now everyone knows both versions of the song!
when I was watching King Arthur I was like "where did I hear this at?" it literally bothered me for 3 days then remembered it was from Halo 3 ODST 😂
*Grabs odst's head and throws him into training course, Fires gun as they crawl through the mud under barbed wire*
this soundtrack is so RAW
"When I die please bury me deep! place in MI5 down by my feet! don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! just pack my box with PT gear! 'cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five! the ground will Rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! don't you worry, don't come undone! it's just my ghost on a PT run!" - U.N.S.C. marching song
(Usually only sung by ODSTs, due to them being more serious and somber)
(On another side note I can't find anything that makes ODSTs not look badass)
which is odd, cause at the academy of military science in forward unto dawn, thee recruits say this song
Haha I understand every word, its British/welsh XD Lyrics are :
We cheat death from his rightful victory
No one can defeat us
we are glad to plunge feet first into hell
in the knowledge that we will rise.
And my army of brothers went over the hilltops,
drenched in blood we may be
but fighting
is all left to me
Together with my army of brothers...
down we fall...
darkness in all
through hell
Ah flundi eni, ohr vidi, gal ah un vere yulsi Ni vik ni, an hine veni, vie
fadi ni ee, troni Blide oh vline ranun, yunagwei, bore dile vey gore du ni
Ah flundi eni, ohr vidi, gal ah un vere yulsi Blide oh vline ranun,
yunagwei, bore dile vey gore du ni!

Wow this is incredible
Welcome
Friend of mine in the Welsh regiment sings this with his mates all the time. Great work finding the original lyrics. Are they Gaelic or Celtic?
Never forget where we all started, for those are the true memories to the fallen 🔥🔥
"Blood is red, our armor is black.
Kill us and kill us but we'll just come back.
Raid our bases, you might just get by;
But before you know it we'll come from the sky."
ODSTs, feet first into hell
....
Hoorah!
Howrah odst we are the best of the best feet first into hell
OOH-RAH

O'r Fuddugol wiriol sydd

We cheat death
From his rightful victory
No one can overcome us
We are glad to plunge
Feet first into Annwn
In the knowledge we will rise.
What language is this?
Welsh
Annwn is hell btw.
As others have said it's Welsh but the cadence and syllable grouping is mangled almost to the point of incomprehensibility; probably to give it a more ominous, off-kilter feel. Even being fluent in the language, and having watched the original trailer a bunch of times and loving the music, I didn't realise it was Welsh until I saw the lyrics written down.
can do that too dbhbcgfbcxhbxhgndwjtbxgshbcuegywhrcbgxyshudbgfyhucbgfyvf
So I’ve gotta bit of a story for everyone. I grew up on halo, and I was around 15 when ODST came out, and me and my friends would play this game and all of the other Halos every weekend. The amount of times we played them together and the LAN party’s, and the countless cosplaying, we become true friends with these games. So it comes to my senior year and I decided to get those guys together and all just hangout. We all started just hanging out, and all that and we started talking about halo, and around this time, it had been a few years since Reach had been out, and we missed doing all of it. Then I remembered seeing this video on RUclips, and I went and grabbed my laptop and hooked it up to my speakers, and just played it with no context, and everyone’s faces then immediately looked like they had seen a ghost, my best friend Eric even started crying. If this story doesn’t give testimony to how large of an impact Halo has left on peoples lives, I don’t know what will.
Halo isn't just a game to us its part of who we are
ODST
Spartan
Standard marine
Ether way we all wish it was real in some way or another
I do believe ODST will one day come
+omgITzWolfy All that needs to be done is the Air Force for the U.S Needs to give all the planes to either the Army, or Marines, then join up with NASA.. there you go a good start :)
I hope they all come one day, OMG IMAGINE SPARTANS IN EACH BRANCH, NAVAL SPARTANS
+Minecast_snxid would there even be a purpose to a naval spartan other than "hey I know you're a killing machine raised to kill since 7 but can you just move some heavy shit?"
Do you seriously wish that you existed within the HALO Universe?
+Scylax yes I would
"When the sky darkens and the sun falls
So too do the shadows descend from the abyss of space
And when the shadows hit the ground
They tremble the earth...And their enemies fall."
As the covenant hudles together in their makeshift light...They try so very hard too hide.The hell jumpers are the monster that lurks in the dark.And ultimately consumes them.
Where are all of you guys getting these awesome sayings?!
This video has been a constant in my life, I have watched it so many times over the years. Through hell, through happiness and through sadness. And I will continue to do so.
Makes me wanna sign up, some day they'll form the actual helljumpers
You'd have to be the best of the best, no just gets to be a helljumper my friend.
And you would have to somehow not age for 40 more years!
+PyroFire 490 years more like it
If you want it join USMC Recon or Army Rangers, or if you want it the most go SF in any branch except for Air Force.
Plague6Romeo(TnSg) why m8 is the airforce that bad
An ODST's path is through haze, fire and ruins.There will be sacrifices, losses and pain.
For each sacrifice there is an equal act of valor and courage.
For each loss a re-commitment to never submit.
For every ounce of pain, a pound returned to those who dealt it.
We Are...ODST
Thadius Faran #WeAreODST
You were a soldier, not a supe up sifi hero. You were just a soldier who did his job protecting those you sworn to.
We are ODST First into hell, last outta heaven thats our motto
But you're not Spartans ;)
But we are odst soldiers made for war
...Spartans are literally soldiers made for war...
Yeah but odst are soliders who go first into battle we take the most casualties we fight to the last man we go First into hell, then we are the last outta heaven thats our motto
james curtis
The motto is "Feet first into hell" because they drop in with pods.
But yes, they are the first in and the last out.
The Imperial Guard salutes the brave soldiers of the ODST!
Feet first into hell!
For the Emperor!
Wrong community but oh well...
Umm this aint star wars
@@cyberj1nx 40k wipes the floor with Star Wars lol
@@MegaSim3 fuck 40k if u cant respec halo and star wars get the hell outta here
@@cyberj1nx I'm a huge SW fan and the original comment was meant as a crossover sign of respect and acknowledgement of respect
For anyone still arguing the tune behind the song is Light Of Aiden - Lament
The actual lyrics of this version were written specifically for ODST, they aren't the same as the original Lament. That's why they seem to so perfectly fit the ODSTs, such as "feet first into hell".
Both versions are Welsh, though the soldiers in the trailer speak Hungarian

I had to listen to this while playing Helldivers 2.
I actually really like this song. Thank you for the upload.
Makes me more proud of my Celtic heritage because I didn't know it was in Welsh! I LOVE SONGS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES! :D
Perfect song for when sitting around the camp fire. Also good when looking intensely into a fire
This song still gives me chills in 2023...this should have been the Halo series we got.
PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL
Screw that, I want to be frozen after I graduate college and then awoken when ODST becomes real!
+The Warlock King 😂😂 Nice one
Wait you can pay for a funeral... (Just kiddin')
+PyroFire Ayyyy lmao
+PyroFire this is from the spore galactic adventures!
I want this played at my funeral
The most amazing thing about Halo is that every nation on earth fights together against the Covenant. Today it's out of imagination that the Nations on earth will ever be united and peacefull to one another.
That is what amazes me, that the earth itself is very strong and hard to kill IF we fight together. But today everyone on it wants a peace of the cake and even betrays it's own race.
Humanity prospers at the benefit of those above.
the cake is a lie
I'm thinking of 9/11 while I listen to this R.I.P for the people that died that day and didn't deserve to! 😭💔😞🇺🇲🦅🗽⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Normally patriotism bothers me since it’s at the expense of another nation or culture, but I love all the patriotic comments here. Although it’s fiction, it’s nice to see people being patriotic about just being a human fighting for humanity. Not for Murica or mother Russia, but for all people everywhere. That’s why sci-fi universes with a united earth are so beautiful to watch. The federation in Star Trek and the UNSC in Halo show the best of humanity. If this universe existed, I’d be proud to be an ODST 👊🏼 🇺🇳
R.I.P. Rookie. You were the best ODST there ever was
We're ODST!!
***** Yeah!!
Most of the crew - not to mention your fellow jarheads - will be leaving the ship in lifeboats. They'll ride to the surface in air conditioned comfort, sipping wine, and nibbling on appetizers. Not you, however. Oh no, you're going to leave the Pillar of Autumn in a different method. Tell me boys and girls… how will you leave?
We go feet first, sir!

Listen to this with thunderstorm sounds or air raid sounds on another tab, you will not be disappointed trust me O.O. :')
Air raid siren and thunderstorm
WWII authentic, I like it!
awesome
It worked.
I was not disappointed
Dude...
When this came on in King Arthur my jaw dropped. What a way to open a movie!
My gramps last wish before he died was to put this theme on for his funeral. Since he was a war veteran, it makes sense. Rest In Peace, dear beloved....
I ask all who dare take the challenge! Who, out of all of you, would choose to either be a ODST or a Spartan? Whichever you choose, the mortality rates are extremely are ridiculously high. Choose your road in life soldier. Would rather be boots first into hell, or a warrior that doesn't die but just goes missing?
Spartan all the way. They comes back and saves the day.
depends what you mean by "spartan" sgt. johnson is a spartan 1. chief is a spartan 2. theres the spartan 3's which are okay. and the glorified odst spartan 4's. if spartan 2 isnt the option, then odst, there second best.
odst, they are the heroes that nobody remember but they do the imposble to save civilians they do the work that need to be done but anyone wan to do
guillermo edson spartans do the impossible to though, and (for spartans 2) they can do alot more with their enhanced genes.
Man I'd be a spartan 2, spartan 1s are not so special, spartan 3s are pretty good and spartan 4s aren't even Spartans in my book. If not a spartan 2 or 3, then I'd be a ODST. Sounds fun dropping from orbit.
I have been looking for this forever !!
"We ride together we die together"
Military saying, means we go through hell together we will die together.
This would be fitting for the Ghost, a lament for lost Tanith
I'm a fluent Welsh speaker and have listened to this song for years, and only now realised it is Welsh🙃
I sat there on the bridge of my prowler and watched helplessly as the covies glassed another colony. My fleet was destroyed and we couldn't power up in fear that they would find us. All we could do was float aimlessly, hoping that we wouldn't collide with the wreckage of another warship or one of the thousands of destroyed civilian transports around us; one day I'll be able to kill all these bastards, this I promised myself. -UNSC Infinity head engineer.
Spartans are badass but you have to respect the bond that all helljumpers share. Spartans seem to be largely antisocial and sociopathic armored killing machines. In that way they are not much different from a Scorpion tank. But ODSTs? They have to work as a team, and by doing so they share a bond that lasts a lifetime. Personally, I'd be an ODST over Spartan any day of the week.
Well, yeah they're pretty detached due to being ripped from their families but maybe there are other reasons
Comic Kazii But what happens when one of your team members dies? You and the rest of your team feel the impact. Spartans who operate mainly solo most likely won't be dragged down by this kind of thing.
I have a lot of respect for spartan 2's but mentally they aren't humans anymore. They show just as little emotion to a ally dying in battle as they would if they spilled some milk, and when you are at the point where you are closest to feel emotionally hurt is when your AI dies, you know you are no longer human in mind. ODST May be inferior, but at least they have humanity and morality left and fight those emotions when they try to drag Them down like all humans do
Magmakarp Grief is part of life and death. It's one of the things separating man from machine. I'd rather maintain my humanity than become a war machine.

Coming back to this video over 10 years later from 2009, after the game dropped. It’s been so long, but the full song got released. I remember listening to this back in the day.

amazing use of this song in king arthur!

Reading the comments here has revived my faith in the Halo community so much.

I wish this song could be played solely with the blowpipes and the singer without the sudden cuts and background noise. It is still great though!
+Static Trance Unfortunately we don't the soundtrack from the trailer.
I personally love ODST. Was a great change of pace
My mental image is of some ancient Welsh warrior awakening in a cold sweat, and then holding his own wake before painting himself for his last battle.
