It is also because the voice acting and character dialog, Locke barely had any kind of good intent coming off him when he spoke. He only sounded like a cocky soldier.
+Boxfortress Yes I understand that, but the war made people like certain characters. Someone can like Locke, but hate Chief. Someone can like Chief, but hate Locke.
I really enjoyed this. Spartans are a bit chatty, but thats not exactly a bad thing. I also like that they didn't make the Sangheili Spec-Ops seem weak or insignificant. The first Elites were minor and a distraction but the Spec-Ops ones were not to be trifled with. As a massive Elite/Sangheili fan I must say it. Good work Spartan.
EuclidGamer I mean these are Spartan III's which is pretty much angsty kids who never really got that chip off their shoulder if anything all that anger got focused on the Covenant. Canonically I think the Spartan III's were kids who were actually "conscripted" by the UNSC at childhood rather than kidnapped.
@Purple Emerald Which is why it's so heart breaking the new show doesn't do shit like this. Whole first season should have been nothing but the brutality showing the war of annihilation. We didn't honestly see enough of it in the games. Always thought they should have been another 3-4 hours long each.
@reachfanatic1234 The Covenant destroyed hundreds of planets and killed tens of billions. They're awesome antagonists, but they're evil mass murderers.
They need to make this into a actual film instead of animatic. This was golden story telling. Now we need the movement to match the greatness of the story.
They're pompous hypocrites, that's why. Plus, despite what they say, they're angry and fearful of Spartans. It goes against all their notions about human weakness. People love the Elites because they look cool, but they're pretty awful in the lore.
ODST M CRESP0 i read the books. It was one of my favorite of the short stories. It's just they drew him with a beam rifle, so they should've made it at least sound like a beam rifle
Never understood how Roland was so self-aware, but it adds a bit of uniqueness to his character. Would love to see another short or better yet a comic about these two, give us some more insight on who they are and on the Headhunters - but I can only hope
Hey, guys! Thanks for over 100,000 view and counting!!! I'm trying to make a come back and I need your help. I'll be uploading a video about what I'm doing and where I've been. Like this comment if you're interested.
I LOVED THE STORY OF HEADHUNTERS IM SAD THEY DIED FUCK ELITES WHY SUCH A BRUTAL DEATH?!? The story I read, they both die and the remaining guy activates the bomb while withstanding a energy sword in his fucking eye
It always bothered me that in the game it takes two hits with an energy sword, but in the books and stuff it's always a one hit kill. Also, the logic of it piercing instantly bothered me as well.
Fosasolah Please. That's nothing compared to what the insurectionists were using like bombs made of rubber that function as car tires until you want them to blow up. Explosives can come a long way in 500 years or so.
The MIA thing everyone says, is because Spartans are "superior" to elites, it gives the rest of the Human race hope, so the "Spartans never die" metaphor is true to those who believe it to be because "Legends never die" as well.
Why would you give your super secret operators who are operating operationally a helmet with a big yellow visor? Wouldn't that make them easier to stand out?
Irish John. Because normally the photo-reactive plates would camaflage the big bright gold visor. He had hot turned off on purpose most of the time in this clip. He wanted them to see him. He was running distraction for his team mate while he set the charges
No offense to the fanbase and makers of this, but with them using what sounds like one voiceactor for the spartan II units is the equivilant of "Hey, Barry. These guys kinda deserved it, didn't they?" "Yes they did other barry, yes they did."
When you never owned an XBOX and still love Halo
Pablo Cruz i got into it through previous bungie games and red vs. blue.
Pablo Cruz yep
Ao1 Pointblank me too
Pablo Cruz I thought I was the only one, :-)
Pablo Cruz in pc halo 1 and 2 have been ported maybe even 3
it takes 20 min to make it sad when they die but if locke died not many would be sad and he had a whole game
jdog n it's because I dislike Locke I think these dudes are awesome they have charisma while Locke doesn't
Ian Bailey it's because Locke didn't have charisma
It is also because the voice acting and character dialog, Locke barely had any kind of good intent coming off him when he spoke. He only sounded like a cocky soldier.
David Johnson Locke was ONI through and through, you cant make them likeable.
+Boxfortress Yes I understand that, but the war made people like certain characters. Someone can like Locke, but hate Chief. Someone can like Chief, but hate Locke.
I get so many Halo Reach vibes watching this.
MightyDoesArt That was the general feel for the Spartan 3's I think. I'd rather see more of them than of Spartan 4's
And he survived, and made a pretty sweet tooth necklace.
Mister Emeal lol he pretty good like you mister
Mister Emeal U spelled Emile wrong.
Wolf Pack42 You spelled you wrong.
Mister Emile, the explosions looked like they weren't actually deadly.
i wish they could bolth survive

+Joseph Camacho all of them are orphans who lost their parents to the Covenant.

Wish we had a game like this. Or even just the old art style back..
Quarter2Doom As do I.
a game kind of like a metro 2033 stealth/combat halo game with co-op, now that'd be sweet
Quarter2Doom play halo CE kid
We need a HALO *CINEMATIC UNIVERSE*
Halo has so many compelling stories
you have no idea. the new art style really unappealing.
they shouldnt have toned down the violence. thats why i fucking loved that story
No Land Beyond I was gonna make a destiny joke but I don't know any
Associated Sea the whole game is a joke
No Land Beyond gtfo here this isn't your game you belong in year 3 of destiny
RedskullGames bungie made both of these games that's like saying I shouldn't play ghost recon bc I play rainbow 6, there both made by the same company
No Land Beyond violence wasn't toned down. The industry's standards just got lower when it came to rating.
"when in doubt, blow shit up" best quote to put in a school year book senior quote.....
Espresso Emperor Yeah id you want to look back in a couple years and cringe
they used a carbine sound for the beamrifle
Kevin Bentley, Yeah, that pissed me off
People are still watching this?
me and my friends still do
FortNite I know
Of course who doesn't
yep
eh
15:30
“You can sense your end human. That is good. If it brings you any peace, the whole of your kind will soon follow soon.”

Best Halo momment is still Sgt Johnsen hugging the Elite.
Man of culture
Going in all stealthy. Yet their visors are like a fucking light bulb.
Scott Robinson LMAO I agree
They need to make this into a actual film instead of animatic. This was golden story telling. Now we need the movement to match the greatness of the story.
I forgot how depressing the ending is
It's funny how the elite just stood there. Elite: Hmm let me stall and do my speech before I kill him
Justin Cren they do that all the time, they think they're superior so they do that. It's recurring in the halo universe.
Boring Göring they do it because the important ppl have plot protection.
max pritchett they died tho....
They're pompous hypocrites, that's why. Plus, despite what they say, they're angry and fearful of Spartans. It goes against all their notions about human weakness. People love the Elites because they look cool, but they're pretty awful in the lore.
7:59 He hit the dab so hard everyone in the room went *BLIND*
These are my last words with this account, goodbye and thanks for the good times. - Viciious Impact
Hope all goes well for you!
at 7min and 59sec the grunt wws dabbing
7:55
Nathan S ummmmm that was a jackel
Nathan S was basically whole room
8:00
Nathan S oh shitty trends are still in the future and aliens do it
117 subscribers...
Halo short film...
There's something going on with this channel...
Bruised Spartan Yea, I left.
lol its 343 subs now
Hahaha I noticed that too
Now it’s 420 lol
Master Chief is...
better story then halo 5
hentai neko Funny how I saw you on Grunty's vids hehe
we need more of these stories, they are great telling of the events in Halo lore
The beam rifle, when fired between 9:51-10:15, sounds more like a covenant carbine than a beam rifle.
Garrett Moore it was a mistake. If you read the book you'd know that he picked up a carbine, not s beam rifle
ODST M CRESP0 i read the books. It was one of my favorite of the short stories. It's just they drew him with a beam rifle, so they should've made it at least sound like a beam rifle
Never understood how Roland was so self-aware, but it adds a bit of uniqueness to his character. Would love to see another short or better yet a comic about these two, give us some more insight on who they are and on the Headhunters - but I can only hope
Nice name
The sound of that knife cutting through flesh is.... beautiful. SOLDIERING IS THE BEST.
aye, this whole video basically sums up how most Spartan II's and III's ended up, dying while taking a bunch of alien bastards down with them
This is the type of badass spartans we need
Best short story on evolutions.
“Assassins, hiding in the shadows”
“Says the alien shitheel who invented active camo”
Sickest burn of the entire war
I remember watching this on Halo Waypoint and now 2018 here it is at it glory
I would have loved to see more of those 2
when in doubt... Blow shit up!
Hey, guys! Thanks for over 100,000 view and counting!!! I'm trying to make a come back and I need your help. I'll be uploading a video about what I'm doing and where I've been. Like this comment if you're interested.
The way the spartans talked to each other in the beginning is so monotone that I literally laughed out loud
Joevis Dawoof you literally laughed out loud?
3C-FD
Yes
I LOVED THE STORY OF HEADHUNTERS IM SAD THEY DIED FUCK ELITES WHY SUCH A BRUTAL DEATH?!? The story I read, they both die and the remaining guy activates the bomb while withstanding a energy sword in his fucking eye
14:10 a wannabe locke elite!
Got dammit 343!
K in a video it was like funny that they say got dammit 343 well i dont know :p
I freakin love Jay in this. He is my spirit animal.
Spartans never die they only go missing in action
That grunt dab tho
I remember reading this. great read. great to see it animated.
I love your work bro!! This is so aweosme!!
SirDrak0 he didn't make it 343 did.
That's why the books are awesome!
Jay:"You don't have kids." Ouch
Funny that 343 can make cool stories like this one but totally fuck it up with halo 5
jay kratosleonidas1 xbox cuz they didn't make this story. Its a short in the compilation of stories, halo evolutions.
Mathew Arnold ow wow
These stories are from 2009. Which was when Bungie was still in charge. Hence the old art style.
When he hit the button at the end I got a thumbprint radio pandora notification
These are the conversations I have with my buddy while playing Halo... Not telling who's who though.
damn. That was pretty good. Almost wish it were a tv show trailer rather than a video game trailer...
I remember reading this story in a book it was awsome
Badass Humanity
Smart ass spartans, I like that
The next day at the elite mess hall: chef do you want charred Spartan? Beware it's a little crispy
I’m still watching this
These are silent shadow elites that's why they all have all bloodblades
That actually would be an interesting concept a Spartan who is also a father of children. 🤔
I think a Spartan female (can't remember her name or what class of spartan she was) did actually leave the UNSC and raise a family.
the dialogue isnt the best and the 2 voices are way too close but i gotta admit i would LOVE a HeadHunters Halo game
It always bothered me that in the game it takes two hits with an energy sword, but in the books and stuff it's always a one hit kill. Also, the logic of it piercing instantly bothered me as well.
gotta separate story stuff from gameplay. otherwise it can go weird in bad ways if you're tyring to make a fun game.
But you do die in one hit from an energy sword. Have you not played the games?
You must play on fucking easy
Canon difficulty is Heroic, where you do die of one shot with an energy sword.
Well, they were wearing SPI Armor, not MJOLNIR.
8:00 is that grunt *dabbing*
(Leans over and pukes on floor)
that Grunt was doing a dab
Is anyone else shocked by how much power that tiny explosive on the tree put out? I mean holy crap was it nuclear or something?
Fosasolah Please. That's nothing compared to what the insurectionists were using like bombs made of rubber that function as car tires until you want them to blow up. Explosives can come a long way in 500 years or so.
Especially nukes. Don't forget the nukes like the NOVA bomb. A bomb so powerful it can crack a planet.
RazgrizOne yea, or use a slipspace bomb like in halo reach and take a 15km-20km chunk out of the planet.
it would be nice if thet actually used the beam rifle sound instead of the carbine
7:59 that grunt dabed
When you realize this is from the book you read a while back.
_Six for one, huh. Fair trade._ - Jonah
Great short story.
He should have used that plasma pistol after he emp'ed the silent shadow
Don't the visors kind of give them away.
I love the spartans 3's armour
Lol the grunt dabs
7:59 the famous dab grunt
Only if he said for my country or alu akbar
whatever happened to shane
he dead.
actually he did just he's not dead until he's forgotten plus it said in the book of how he died
The MIA thing everyone says, is because Spartans are "superior" to elites, it gives the rest of the Human race hope, so the "Spartans never die" metaphor is true to those who believe it to be because "Legends never die" as well.
Dark Sphere Productions Spartans are never marked kia even if they were confirmed it'll be marked as MIA
Died with Jane and Robert during PROMETHEUS
12:43 oh wow a bloodblade!
RIP BUNGIE.... Corporate greed got to it..
This was not made by bungo, in fact, bungo didnt even care about the halo lore.
8:00 pause here
THE GRUNT DID A DAB?!
The Spartan with the EVA helmet sound like Kenny from the walking dead xD
Gravemind , I'm pretty sure it's SPI the suit that kurt ambrose wore
9:52 Thats the carbine's sound NOT THE BEAM RIFLE'S!
7:59 I never knew grunts could dab
Ik it's super late to say but I fucking loved this
So is this how Jega Rdomnai became who he is in Halo Infinite
That is so much cool to😃👍🔥💥boom
More character than all of halo five
Dab grunt XD
Samuel G 8:00
Spartan 373 no
Spartan 373 dab on them Spartans
Why would you give your super secret operators who are operating operationally a helmet with a big yellow visor? Wouldn't that make them easier to stand out?
Irish John. Because normally the photo-reactive plates would camaflage the big bright gold visor. He had hot turned off on purpose most of the time in this clip. He wanted them to see him. He was running distraction for his team mate while he set the charges
I love halo legends
Did the coves just dabbed at 7:59
No offense to the fanbase and makers of this, but with them using what sounds like one voiceactor for the spartan II units is the equivilant of "Hey, Barry. These guys kinda deserved it, didn't they?" "Yes they did other barry, yes they did."
Palanthier Sigma these are Spartan iii
*Spartan III Headhunters in SPI armor*
It was nice and great voice acting, just wish it was fully animated.
I would have taken that whole place by myself lol as noble 6
They should have fully animated this
So grey team but less awesome and more squishy
Couldn't have they used the explosive device in the hotspot... i mean that could've made the job easier
Ok I have a better fire rate than jay in real life
it be nice for if they use stuff this to make games like u wanna know more stories about the war besides books
They should be wearing spi armor.
Definitely need another ODST game, or a marine game
So did the spec-op elites die in the explosion too?
Sir Wafflez yeah everyone who was alive still died in the explosion
Spartan III's but they have spartan II armor. so are they spartan III's?
They're wearing SPI armor, not MJOLNIR. But it does kinda bare a resemblance.
Jega is scary
Noble 6 must have been a headhunter, if his partner died on a mission that would explain his lone woulf style
Spartan 28 well headhunters were single or two man team's so take your pick
