Haven’t played the game in over a year
Announces OW2: I have been called......I must answer.....Always
RNBMario369
yep
Same
That just made my day ;)
Pretty much
It’s comments like these that make me want to play the new one
you know it hits hard when he tell's reinhardt "be their shield", and in game he'll say "I'll be your shield"
true
I read this and I think you are speaking of nothing except the truth
And it's worse when their in eichenwald
When he gets back to his team and his shield goes down, thats the line that runs through my head as he literally shields them with his body
It hits hard when in game Reinhardt doesn’t protect his team
But Rinehart main almost always never do that
it always gives me chills when Rein says "I am your shield" in game solely because he was told to "be their shield"
my teams reindhart always charges alone and dies within 5 seconds
@@DrCrayRayV2 if there's an enemy's reindhart , I'll not stop him
@@namisama4550 there is a tactic where if you break those fences that take you out of bounds and kill you, you use that jet rush thingy and at the last second when your about to fall press the button for the rush they fall to there death (sorry if I say it wierd I don’t have the time to explain or fix my grammar)
@@MasterC179 actually there's a rule that if 2 Reindhart meet each others, nobody should interfere their fight
@@namisama4550 no what I’m trying to say is when you want to knock another tank down knock them out of bounds to die

I know thank you blizzard for this hidden meaning
It is how Reinhardt is sopposed to be played, after all! In fact, once I saw this, I realized what I was doing wrong as his main, and once I changed, I jumped to Platinum from Silver!
Fun fact: This story is basically a Pro Rein teaching a Newbie Rein how to play the character in-game.

When you're done living with your parents come back to reality virgin
As a Reindhart main, i can proudly say this short described exactly how i used to play vs how i play now
I feel more responsible as a tank since watching it too
Lmao, after i saw this, no matter what role i was always protecting team mates, i’ll run across the whole map if it means i can save my hog from the baby dva
Shieldbotting is bad but yes u should play with and for your team
@@nudahnotverified184was about to say that
Mm mm mm mm mm m
"Get back there and protect your team!"
"Ah, they're just slowing me down!"
Boy, if that doesn't describe every Overwatch player.
cannon rein is a bad rein.... who knew?
Bartholomew Thundercat III so true.
Yep!!
Canon Rein started off bad but I'm sure he was great by the time he was deployed to fight Null Sector in London
Not Ana/Mercy mains who are like "uuuh come back, you're out of my sight I can't heal you"
When he says "I must answer...always" sends CHILLS seeing that he's basically sworn on his old friend's grave that he would live someone else's life in Overwatch
Not someone else life, hes gonna live the oath he swored to do wich is "live with honor die in glory " just like his comander and the life of a crusader
"live with honor, Die with glory" such a simple line.
Reinhart mad an oath. He glory hogged and while he protected the LAND of Germany. He let it's heart bleed claiming they only slowed him down. To learn the lesson he had to commit the worst dishonor. To lose a battle they could have survived, cost a mentor his life, eat massive casualties, and lose out on true glory for a vain understanding of glory.
He regained his honor when he held the line, when he made sure not another wound was struck on the heart, and lent his weapon to a dying comrade to defend the land. After that he served in that mans place to protect the worlds heart and soul. He wasn't "pushed out" his call was simply ended, and while it may hurt, he had other duties. Yet now, with the heart and mind ailing, with new enemies and new threats, he has been called....and he must answer always. Live with honor, die with glory.
Such power in such a simple line, Overwatch used to have such amazing writing.
Also it’s not hard to imagine that he knows that he has to in hopes of protecting others and serving a cause to help protect the world
@@Smol_Eri it’s never that serious bro
@@sieko2904 It's that serious if someone sees it that serious.
"You gave Overwatch everything, and then they pushed you out! Why would you go back to them?" Brig was talking to the hardcore players all the way back then...
@BabyDollyRandM damnit "always"
Talking about blizzard
One of the coolest things about this cinematic is the moment he hands over his hammer. He isn't just giving Balderich a cooler battle or a better fighting chance, he's giving up his desire to fight. He used it as a way to nonverbally tell Balderich that he would do everything to protect his team while Balderich was gone. He left himself with nothing but his shield to prove it.
Show, don't tell.
This scene proves the concept.
not just that but his desire for vengeance. he’s only going back to his team with his shield and armor. he’s putting his pride aside to keep his team alive
Reinhardt in game: "HAHA funny old German dude"
Reinhardt in backstory: **A man horribly scarred by Battle, losing his mentor and best friend at a Young age, paid with an eye for his mistakes**
The prices we pay for knowledge and wisdom.
He reminds me a lot of the Heavy from TF2 actually. In lore he's very chill and sedated. It's only until he goes into battle is he the hollering, energetic warrior who lives for the fight that we know!
@@krazyjay9919 yee
he paid with both an eye and a friend for his mistake
The eye meant almost nothing to him. He was still pretty cavalier even after that got taken out. But losing his mentor, hit really hard and gave him a debt that he now feels he can't repay.
This isn't an animated short, it's a PSA for all Reinhardt mains who charge into the entire enemy team.
suqmahdeeeock yeah I like how they kind of captivate play Styles in the animated shorts. This is Ryan Hart before he pissed off enough Mercies to figure out when not to charge!
suqmahdeeeock true tho
suqmahdeeeock Hey, im a good Offensive Reinhardt 😂
suqmahdeeeock trueeee
lol, this makes sense, lets be honest... Bastion animated short was made in hopes that we can feel good about him and not hate him :v
6:06 I love that you can just barely hear Balderich utter "Hammer Down!" as he deals the final blow, gives me chills and gives more weight to the line whenever I hear Reinhardt say it.
I never noticed that before that’s so amazing
what i still cant hear it
@@dtack9249 I'm pretty sure he didn't actually
@@agentblakk7096he did it’s kind of like a pause between hammer and down
bro he just grunted lmao
This is definitely the best cinematic, only the Hanzo and Genji one can come close.
Edit: I was reminded of The Last Bastion. Definitely a close second imo but Honor and Glory still sits at the top for me.
Hands down, nothing comes close
What about the kiriko cinematic
@@outbreakperfected5704 it would have been fine if there weren't the cringy voice lines. sure there may have been a few in this one but literally every line in the kiriko one made me cringe
@@ryan_w08really? Genuinely can’t think of anything cringe that Kiriko says.
I mean I disagree with both I prefer the Solider one in Dorado but the only part of Kiriko’s I didn’t like was how cheesy the ending was with the old man and girl trying to fight too
@@emma6648 lmao no way u brought sexism into this
"The team needs you. Be their shield."
and
"I have been called, I must answer. Always."
still makes me tear up, even three years later.
The I have been called, I must answer gets me every time, even more so now that the overwatch 2 cinematic is out and he does indeed answer
annoyingly so..... yes
still gives me chills
Makes me even more teared up since Blizzard Activision took over... I'm still sad about War3 Reforged...
even if i haven't played overwatch in like 3 years i still love this cinematic
Me: I won't cry when watching the next short
Blizzard: That's a good joke
When real men cry
yup
Same
I dont even play overwatch, i just love the lore, and i cried watching this they did a great job
Agreed these get me every time.. 😥
4:25 this hits so hard knowing how Rein interacts with other heroes in-game, he is always so upbeat, always ready to protect those in need
Now I understand Flash. You play the fool to mask a warriors pain.
I dont know about all that Orion. The bad guys lost, and nobody got hurt. You know what we call that where I'm from: a pretty good day.
Always remember Flash Day.
That opening scene where Brig reminds Rein that OW abandoned him hits different now
I swear to god younger Reinhard is literally how most Reinhards play, they rush into battle, totally disregarding their team, and then die immediately.
Isn't that ironic I feel like this animation was to serve as a teaching to all Reinhart
Yeah, it’s sad to know that most of the events in this short was caused by Reinhardt leaving his team.
"Most" ? You must be below bronze to see that in games...
@@artygator8167 quickplay
this proves that more Bastions and Orisas die with hammer than team killing them while shielded :P
I always, always love the fully intended symbolism during Balderich's last stand. Reinhardt gives him his hammer, his only means of attack, to honor his conviction to Balderich's final request to be the team's shield. Balderich accepts, knowing that defense is pointless, since he is already going to die. Balderich tells Reinhardt to "Live with honor", giving him his blessing going forward in life. Reinhardt replies to "Die with glory", knowing he will never see Balderich again. It's the perfect unspoken implication that makes this scene so powerful.
Also Balderich's shield was destroyed in saving Reinhardt. There was no other way, he was dying, shieldless, and there was no time.
And that is why I always appreciate people who play games not just for the fun and excitement it gives, but rather also for the symbolic meaning and message it conveys behind
It really was perfect
By giving over his weapon, Reinhardt signed over to the old warrior code - protect those who cannot protect themselves. It was an honourable (albeit dangerous) move to stand in harms way to save others knowing that you yourself cannot fight back.
@@ehanboshoff4825 I mean, I'm guessing getting punched by his fist would hurt quite a bit, so he wasn't completely defenseless.
As a Rein main, anytime I'm feeling down after I fail to help my team win, I always come back to this cinematic and get instantly hyped to go back to the game and feed even harder than before.
💀💀💀
?
I wish I would play with such sweet people like you. You put a lot dedication in team play ^^
Rein has a new voice line with ana that goes "if I do not answer... what else do I have?" And i feel pain remembering this cinematic
“Live with Honor
Die with Glory”
Love it
Anthony Clegg but I couldn’t tell was that his father?
BigMann Dave777 yes but he seemed like a father to him
It's an army relationship a superior officer who cares for and is responsible for his subordinates. Reinhardt's last name is Wilhelm while Balderich's last name was Adler. Rein was a lieutenant while Balderich was the general.
XxWargrinderxX ok thanks
I love it too

The Blizzard Animation team deserves more credit, honestly
It's really sad because they do such a good job then the actual game developers do nothing.
I love the total change in Reinhardt’s voice in the castle as the consequences of his actions settle in. He finally realises that even the tallest strongest skyscrapers fall eventually.
We want that voiceline in the game
" LIVE WITH HONOR , DIE WITH GLORY "
we need to call jeff for that
Ili_Clips_II :p yes yes we do
Ili_Clips_II :p I need that voice line more than I need air😂. I now Main Reinhardt 500% more
thats what everyone else wants, i want this line for every other hero
"Dammit reinhardt!"
You know... for all the times my team's reinhardt flies into the enemy leaving us without a shield...
just saying
i think that's already in the game, or at least it's similar
The subtlety of Reinhardt offering Balderich his hammer isn't lost on me; He was told to be the Shield so he hands over his weapon. Sure, it's to give Balderich an edge in his final stand, but the symbology is strong. He hands over his tool to be a gloryhog, and that's why Balderich's face lights up when Reinhardt offers him his hammer, not because it'll give him an edge in a losing battle, but because Reinhardt took his words to heart and actually heeds them.
Nunca había pensado en eso!
Great observation
nahh you watched the same video as everyone else?????
Well also reminds me when he said that they shall fight their way together. In a way, he is fighting with Balderich through his weapon while he acts as the shield for the team.
symbolism not symbology
This is a really harsh reminder, rewatching this so many years later, that the Blizzard that used to create premium, industry leading content, the one we once knew and loved is dead and buried.
One day, Reinhardt will be buffed back to relevance.
When that day comes... We will no longer just die with glory... But live with honour once more.
The way he says "I have been called, I must answer... Always..." gets me every f*cking time! Vote Rein for man of the century.
Can Gürel Rein for President
Man of the centuries*
Every few months I think about that line and come back here
Doğru
Can Gürel the last part where Reinhardt was so sad when Reinhardt shield broke and had to defend the soldiers with his own back
"How many feels do we need in this cinematic?"
Jeff: "Yes"
Kids, pack your bags, we're going on FEEL TRIP!!!!
Sooooooo
Goddamn you Jeff lol
Correction: his full name is "Jeff from the Overwatch Team"
very original👏👏
You gotta love the visual storytelling in this. Rein is told to be their shield and he reflects on it and then hands his hammer away, committing himself to only using his shield. His transformation is told so well in such a short period it really goes to show that the people who work on these shorts are masters of their craft
The people who work on the shorts, absolutely
The executive in charge of the game, not so much
Remember what overwatch had a living, breathing lore?
"Live with honor."
"Die with glory...old friend."
"I have been called. I must answer...always."
Brought tears to my eyes.

than pick bastion?
When it cuts back to the current time of his body still being there. That hits hard, a constant reminder of the consequences for not protecting your teammate. Your closest friends.
Even all these years later... this short still hits ya right in the feels
"The team needs you, be their shield" what every reinhardt has to understand
ruukiru j
true
Main*
That's literally all I do as Reinhardt.
Then everyone goes Bastion and mows my shield down.
Reinhardt in this cinematic: protects team against 10 bastions
Reinhardt in the game after facing one bastion for 4 seconds: The shield won't hold forever !
Playing reinhardt I'm comp is like have a duck for a shield against bastion
Well it didn’t last much longer here, he just used his body as a shield when it failed.
@@Stormkrow280 And it was in slow motion, I think his shield just lasted 1 second
5:50 is more accurate if you remove slow mo,
The one you saw was Balderich who was probably stronger than reinhardt
Well if you look at the cinematics, no one is as strong as they actually are in the game. They have to balance it. Like in the short, he one shots a bastion. In D.Va’s short, she shreds some robots in seconds, while in the game her bullets are like nerf darts. It’s for balancing in game
This is the short that got me into the game, this whole character is the sole reasons i play overwatch. I hate to see them destroy the game as time goes on.
Imagine how awesome it would be to dual wield hammers with rein in PVE…
every year i just have to come back to this masterpiece, i may not be playing as much games as i used to but this animation really stuck with me and it always gives me chills, even hour long movies couldnt move me as much as this cinematic did, just brilliant!

*Yep, I'm that Reinhardt alright?*
Me too
they lost tho...
Harry yolo I am physically unable to play tanks so I always have to hope I can insta lock support before my teammates
dratini They won this battle, it's even in lore of the map that ''Battle of Eichenwalde was turning point during invasion of Germany as Crusaders held against Omnics.''
For what I remember, I think they got wiped out.
Returned to this amazing video in 2024. Back then when devs put pure dedication and hard work through their games. I miss those times...
So as a Reinhardt main, it occurs to me that this video is basically every player picking up Rein. At first, you feel invincible, you charge in and go offensive without too much thought, as reinhardt can do a lot of damage. but then your team keeps dying. Eventually, you learn that sometimes glory isn't always in getting eliminations, but making sure your team is alive to do so.
Null 5 I wonder if that was intentional because you make a great point
Null 5 That's so true we must learn humility like Reinhardt if we want to see the bigger picture
Not every. There's two kinds of new Reinhardt players - overly agressive and overly defensive.
I want to frame this comment forever.
as a rein main i can agree... this represents me in everyway
The thing I love most about this cinematic is how powerful the actual moment is. Sure, robots fighting, massive metal men battling against impossible odds, amazingly cool. But when he sacrificed himself for Reinhardt he didn't just save him. He saved every single person Reinhardt would go on to save for decades after. He MADE Reinhardt who he is. That moment, that lesson, it created a hero who changed the entire world. Now that's a sacrifice.
GREAT, AS IF I WASNT CRYING ENOUGH

@@junonavo5270 new rein mains=charge in with team undefended. Old mains= team dead and that enemy mercy looks very smashable.........
@@Michael-vh3jp ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
yes that is the joke, congrstulations on repeating the same joke that was already made
It kills me that Rein doesn’t even react to having his eye sliced out, but realizing that he’s doomed Balderich. He was reckless and glory seeking because he thought it was only his life at stake, and he was prepared for the consequences of that. He wasn’t prepared to see other people pay the price for his mistakes.
I think the Bastion series of omnics still had some semblance of emotion, even during the omnic crisis. At 2:17, if you pause at the right moment, you will see the Bastion shield itself using its arms (something none of the other Bastions did, as this one’s movements were far too human compared to the others), and the one next to it looks at its friend, then Reinhardt. Neat.
That’s an awesome detail I haven’t seen anyone mention yet. Bravo good sir

I feel like that line was Blizzard’s way of sticking the middle finger at every Reinhardt tryhard
to be honest, i never found any tank main that flame, moslty it was support and dps who abuses chat the most, tank main usually are the chillest person i've ever met, because the only thing they demand its just heal, and the rest of it is protecting their teammate
That final "die with glory, old friend" hits way to hard to be ok. Reinhardt knows he is leaving his friend to die and all he can say is die with glory. Its so well written
Imagine how terrifying it would be to see a Reinhardt with that type of movement speed, two huge hammers, and with an Ana ulti running straight at you.

Or should you say... *PROST!*
I love Reinhardts lore, but on a side note, young rein had a killer goatee
As a rein main, as we become better at playing our character we literally follow this cinematic *entirely* 😂
I like how Reinhardt's character arc in this vid is basically him learning how to play as Reinhardt, becoming less of a glory hound and more of a defensive team player.
Tell that to the idiot on our team that's charging into the enemy group
gunther mizuki he needs his teacher to die for him
As a rein main, charging is acceptable if your team is already scattered and a key enemy char is right in your sights, i.e. healer or bastion (or any enemy that is about to ult)
lol, whenever I play there's always a rein on the enemy team who just charges straight into every one and dies.

Overwatch indeed lived with honor, but they couldnt have glorious death
In game: Goofy characters who talk too much.
In cinematic: Depressed war veterans.
EDIT: When I'm talking about in game, I mean like when they're actually fighting. Brazil gets invaded, and you get quips like "Nice vacation spot!" I understand appearing aloof in certain situations, but they're aloof like 90% of the time. Like they're on some family picnic. Imagine if Reindhardt starts making a number of jokes while protecting his unit from bullets.

And from the day I started Overwatch, I’ve played as Reinhardt for 6-7 years now and continuing strong, Reinhardt has been and always will be my main, Live with honour, die with glory Rein mains 💪
"The team needs you, be their shield."
And now I'm crying again.
Actual player:No
I'm more crying that he said "I have been called. I must answer." and then at the end, Reinhardt said "I have been called. I must answer. Always."
In one of the earliest OW shorts, i think i remembered seeing Reinhardt protecting omnic civilians from being assaulted by their human counterparts.
That particular scene hit me pretty hard, the man who fights robots and loses his comrade by robots all his life; still holding his code of honour and justice by protecting the weak and the unwanted even though he is protecting the race that took everything from him
One of the best written character so far
most of if not all of the characters in this game are not written well lets not get too crazy
Well, i dont compare Rein story to another game characters though, i compare him to the rest of OW characters, while most of them is not that interesting, given their shorts lore is not published yet, i find for a mulitplayer game, OW characaters is written well enough to be both game fitted and generally character fit for a story.
Svhons don't mind him they are written pretty well for a multiplayer fps
how are they not well written? they fit into the lore perfectly. sure they fit the common superhero trope; tragedy, loss, a new found source of power...but I feel as if Blizzard has done an amazing job of creating these characters and keeping them uniform with the lore of overwatch.
I also challenge you to create a universe consisting of 26 main characters, complete with ages of history, comics, an accessible line of support and community feedback and still deliver high quality content like this. In 2 years.
I really hope you can elaborate on why you think they are written poorly, and I'd love to see a comparison of a well written character by your standards in a multiplayer fps. won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't. cmon bby
Rein sees a bigger picture. Its awesome.
This actually almost made me cry
Same. It’s hard not to cry.
lore accurate crusader: beats multiple bastions and orisas
in game rein: dies to zen
I'm seriously thinking that the only reason this was made is to teach aggressive Reinhardt players how to use him properly.
The funny thing is people complained that Blizzard was peer pressuring them to play the way they wanted them to and said they stopped playing because of it. Good riddance, no one will miss them. Just like no one misses the people who apparently stopped playing because Terry Crews isn't voicing Doomfist
totally agree with you but look one second kill he got there during his charge...
The Wielder
I'm pretty sure Terry Crews was just a meme, but I still wish he was in the game tbh.
I just relized that it didnt help i play rien like a tracer always assasinat the merct their rien cant do anything about it
To be honest, a good reinhardt plays agressively a decent chunk of the time. A good reinhardt just knows how to balance playing agressive with protecting the team. Just standing there with your shield in the choke isn't doing anything, advancing the fight towards/with the objective is your goal as a tank, and sometimes going in agressive with a FUCKITCHARGE is just the way to reach that goal.
Oh I get it, so Reinhardt grew his moustache, so that it would resemble Balderich. A moustache in his memory. That's cool actually.
or i mean he just grew out his hair
That cool and massively depressing
+elijahproto But that wouldn't be that epic :I
This is the most beautiful trailer thank you blizzard for bringing us my favorite character ever

Young Reinhardt = Every DPS Player
Or typical bronze/silver Reinhardt.
I need healing!
Noop Noop lol
Noop Noop 😂👌🏻
Noop Noop Ik 😂 I am the cockiest Reaper main there is, and there are a LOT of those
Honestly putting the energy off the fight aside this really explains reinhard in a nutshell. It doesnt matter his best days are behind him or that the ommnic war has ended. His duty is eternal to be the shield off his team. Not just a oath to an order but also a solom promise to a friend he lost. Its an honour to have been that shield for my team. Duty calls and we shall awnser
Rein mains excuse after running into a 5v1: LIVE WITH HONOR, DIE WITH GLORY!
“The team needs you”
One of the best things I have ever heard
And that everyone else ignores.
Bahay Gouda my friends doest need me..
"Be their shield"
*Jeff proceeds to nerf the shield
Be their shield! Unless Reddit players cry about how they can't break it solo
Imagine a Rein OW2 upgrade is 3000 hp sheild.🛡️
Jeff then leaves
@@pngdotjpeg : (
@@Tinco651 well since they want to push out solo tanks they better give him 4k shield and throwable hammer
5 years old, and still tear up after "always" every time.
00:14 Me coming back to overwatch 2 after years of playing overwatch 1 only to be told there's no pve..
That's why you should wear a helmet kids....
You know what else the team needs?
*a support main*
brigitte at your service
I'm kinda mad about how they didn't give Brig an extra line of dialogue like "I'm going with you" for this short tbh. But, everybody needs a Brigitte on their team to back up their Reinhardts.
Never Had that. Oh wait. Im A Support Main
Uuummmm
Were all ready here
when Rein sees his wound and says " But...I.......with out you...." the moment I start to tear up
The sound design in this goes unbelievably hard
As much as this is heartwarming and a great short, I also love the sneaky Reinhardt tip Blizzard put in....... "PROTECT YOUR TEAM DAMNIT"
Emrad16 eh
But it kind of backfires, because his "team" is worthless and he carried.
THEY ARE JUST GOING TO SLOW ME DOWN
Carisma1005 lmaoo
TinyToasterMan DAMNIT REINHARDT
Blizzard sure knows how to give everyone the feels
I swear I must be allergic to OverWatch animated shorts....
Did it give you the heeby jeebies?
you must be fun at parties

“Reinhardt, Live with Honor, Die with Glory… Old Friend…”
"You gave Overwatch everything, and then they pushed you out! Why would you go back to them?"
In cinematic: Takes thousands of bullets and explosives with nearly no harm done
In game: Dies to arrows, music, and flue shots.
lol
The shield damage was accurate the hits after that wasnt
Don't forget a snowblower.
To be fair he is pretty old, and his ears can bleed from Lucio blasting it...
Doctor Jay But he’s not exactly brittle, and his armor covers him completely. I don’t think arrows, darts, and music can get threw that armor of his. Plus who in history of our species has died from ear bleeds?
Excuse me but I caught the wrong train,I wasn't supposed to head toward The Feels.
Psychotic !! 😂 good one
No refunds
Same here.
