      Halo video game story Ended at halo 3. Reach was the last good halo ever made. Story on reach was a masterpiece. The halo TV is not good but its not bad either. Its not following the same story as the game its going it own way. I like the show but not as much as the games. The story with the show was decent not good or Bad. I want to watch more of it tbh.

      This trailer alone probably cost a few million dollars by the way. A million dollars is nothing to this industry. The estimated cost of the current Halo series for season one is between 90 - 200 million. But youre right. This is easily the best live action Halo action scene made. The Halo reach one is pretty great too but this ones in a league of its own.

      What astounds me is the guy they’re originally burying was probably a Space Nazi; like Halo Lore explicitly states they were a fascist organization, and the only reason they were remotely equipped to fight Covenant was because ONI was so adept at creating ways to kill other humans. Reach does a great way of showing this, how ONI looks like a Google office but has plans of kinetic missiles to destroy planetoids.
      Somehow, the Halo show STILL missed this and made a drama where a bad man on a desert planet is….the bad nazi man. Like YOU HAD THE INTERESTING LORE. Right There!!!

    This feeling is what I've always felt was missing from the 343 era games. They seemed to want to focus solely on the Spartans, but the struggle of the marines and ODST against a superior foe was always one of the best parts of the Bungie games. It's what gives the games the feelings of a war.

    • @AManNamedHawk
      @AManNamedHawk 10 месяцев назад +204

      And the feeling of desperation. They wanted the Marines to be “only human” compared to you: the Master Chief. Even so, players find themselves in the role of savior as the unintentional effect was making the Marines a sympathetic ally. It all began with Cortana in Halo 1:
      “Those Marines look like they could use some help, Chief. Do what you do best.”

    • @Gibblets411
      @Gibblets411 9 месяцев назад +96

      It's funny that the trailer for Halo Infinite looked like they understood that, but then the gameplay doesn't feel like it at all... Then again, I never even finished Infinite's boring ass mess.
      Halo 1 made you feel alone so often, whenever you had a chance to keep some marines under your wing, you tried your best to see them through the fights.

      That has also been the case in Star Wars media, games and so on. Where the main characters, empire, republic, rebel alliance, separatist alike, dispute their abilities would not have been able to do what they did without the help and support of many common and unknown soldiers helping them out in the back ground. Even in the comics Luke mentions everyone who took part in the alliance was a hero. Even if they would not be remembered or recognized.

      I watch this every couple years.
      The battle midway through is what I want.
      I want a halo game with a BF-esq (battlefront) flavor.
      Like halo wars.
      But you get to choose any era.
      Or significant battles (reach, new Mombasa) and choose between a set of marines.
      Get enough points in the match and get to choose a special solider depending on points.
      Do you want to spend the 1200 you racked up on an odst character (until you die, so use them wisely) or a pelican to transport your team.
      Or go big and collect like 12000 and get a spartan or a few MAC rounds shot where you designated.
      Why is gaming in whatever state it’s in atm.
      The future is about options!!
      We should have ALL the options.
      But instead we’re super limited in certain ways.

      @TR-fq6uz 3 месяца назад +2

      I believe the Spartan III’s are actually closer to what you’re describing.
      Colonel Ackerson, a rival of Dr Halsey, was the director of the program, whose mandate was to create an effective succession or supplement to the Spartan II program. Candidacy was nowhere near as strict as was the case for the Orion Project so there was a huge pool of people to select from.
      That being said, the entirety of the first two companies were destroyed in their very first engagements - 300+ losses each. This demonstrates an operational willingness to risk an entire company of “supersoldiers”, against a technologically superior enemy, for dubious gains.
      This wasn’t necessarily the same case with ODST’s, whose role was primarily either a quick reacting, trans-orbital force multiplier, or to engage difficult to reach targets without ruining the element of surprise with a ground invasion.
      The point is, though, that the intention was always to get the ODST’s back after a mission - Spartan III’s, however, were going to die whether they knew it or not.

      Halo 3 and Gears of War 3 were suppose to be the endings of their franchises. There was a huge hype behind concluding the stories of the two big Xbox exclusives.
      Then Microsoft had to dig them up after they were laid to rest just to continue printing money. We could have had entire side stories like ODST, Halo Wars, GoW: Judgement, Gears Tactics, etc. Some boardroom at Microsoft thought it was good to linearly keep the franchise going though. Now look what we have; Halo has been a entire mess, all over the place, and Gears is just a weird rehash where you have to read comics to get even the slightest amount of coherency.
      Xbox gaming went off the rails (in a bad way) around 2012. It'll be next to impossible to put it back on track without wiping the slate of the last 10 years of mud. Halo is trying to do that right now, Infinite is clawing to get back at the level H3 was; bringing back a better artstyle of similar Bungie era designs and a vaguely similar story to CE's. I just don't think it'll ever be the same because the magic is gone and they have been given a million chances before as they fail and fail again.
      We'll always have those nostalgic titles though. Preserved in a time where a video game was a relatively complete experience and franchises where not out for your wallets nor chasing trends.

      People complained that it was overpriced, but it wasn't if you look into it. Originally it was planned as a Halo 3 campaign DLC but it kept getting bigger and bigger until Microsoft said it needed to be a standalone title. So Bungie said okay, but as long as we pad the price out by bundling all the Halo 3 multiplayer DLC on a second disc for the customer.
      They really sold a side game for $80CAD back then but it was broken down into $40 for the game with a mandatory $40 purchase of the Halo 3 multiplayer tied in. ODST's campaign and firefight is 100% worth $40 and the multiplayer disc worked as a copy of Halo 3 without the campaign. It was a true 2 for 1 combo and people were too blinded by "but I already bought the Halo 3 DLC" mindset to appreciate what happened.
      ODST is an underrated gem of the franchise and newer fans need to put respect on it's name like they do with Reach.
