* *Me before watching this video* There’s no way I don’t know about this supposed story that “nobody knows about”. * *A few minutes into the video* Okay this is actually new for me. Good find!
*Elite Bridge crew:* HAHA!! We're incinerating them with almost no casualties! How goes your end shipmaster? *Elite Shipmaster with a 1,000 yard stare:* I just got absolutely wrecked by an overly verbal computer *Elite Bridge Crew:* D:
ESP8 is most likely "Electronic Surveillance Post #8"; given that Reach was the home base of the UNSC Army, no doubt they had taps on every communication going in/out/around the place, monitoring for Insurrectionist sympathizers.
343 needs to hire this man... He could probably teach them Halo lore that they or Bungie don't even know... Hes most definitely earned it and his resume, which is this channel, speaks for itself.... Only here are you gonna find lore this deep down the Halo Rabbit hole. This man has literally reached the other side and is recording Lore. Who knew the Ship master of Truth and Reconciliation was the Golden Sword Elite in first major firefight in the Hangar bay... And thats literally the least significant fact of this Titanic Level Iceburg depth chilling on the ocean floor... Any deeper and he will literally be digging into the ground of the Ocean...
About the elite I did have my suspicions. But yes, you will never find someone who goes as deep into the Flood as this man. Such an interesting enemy, and so underrated.
Thank you for using a Combat Evolved Styled elite in your thumbnail. Such a shame that design hasn't made a true return. I think Jordan Spartain made the model. he makes awesome HQ versions of the combat evolved covies. I am glad to see the designs get properly remastered. Such a shame they got replaced with reach stuff and haven't been seen since. most people don't know that the CE elites have masks on their eyes or have a design of their own. I use jordan spartains CE elites in my halo mods all the time so people know of the awesome CE elites.
CE Elites are nice, but I do like the Reach Elites better. They seem imposing, overpowering, and intimidating, yet elegant, agile, and impressive. It's actually one of the reasons I like Infinite's Elites. They feel like a perfect mix between Classic Elites, Reach Elites, and 343 Elites.
Can u talk about the halo ce cutscene for assault of the control room and then the mission after the library where chief goes back with the index? There’s a lot of lore in the conversations that is missed and I’d love if someone could talk about them
@@The_Albino_Jackal I always interpreted that line to mean that there was supposed to be a mission between Library and Two Betrayals that was supposed to be for Chief and Spark to talk a bit, but that was ultimately cut out - and the line was just left in
@@everettjohnson9374Remember Halo 3 ending where Guilty Spark says to Chief "You are forunner, but this ring is MINE." I got to learn that Bungie intended that humans would be the forunners, hence why Guilty Spark says "Last time you asked me." It could be referencing a convo. Between Spark and possible Didact I think, which is in the 343 era where forunners are a different species. Humans are not forunners and that's why it's a bit of mistery. I could be wrong, but I am saying what I can remember being taught.
i heard about them on a reddit thread YEARS ago, people were discussing the Cortana Letters which I think just resurfaced at the time when somebody started talking about the Transmissions and their connection to the cortana letters.
These transmissions are really cool. They really shed more light on the early history of the franchise. I'm left very confused by these transmissions, but thoroughly entertained by this video discussing them. Keep up the great work!
Cortana: "haha, you mad bro? LoL!" Covenant: "And i took that personally." Flood: "Ha, you both start with the two letter C and O. CoCo, ha ha funny, gonna eat you now, kthxbai." Chief: *Facepalms* "I need a weapon..."
I... vaguely remember these from when I used to hang out on the Halo 2 and Halo 3 boards on gamefaqs ages ago, but it was sort of a "These are some neat fluff bits that tie in with CE." kinda way.
i started reading cryptum and have almost finished it, but this level of world building makes me think how hard a forerunner-ancient human era game go? here's an idea doesn't necessarily have to be a shooter either, maybe a stealth shooter where you play with a dual perspective of a young forerunner/human who are respectively taught to hate the other species and how to fight them, but circumstances make it so that they become friends and eventually revolutionary characters in the greater mainline story, connected to the main timeline somehow this is just one possible idea, the possibilities are endless with the forerunner-ancient human era
11:00 so 343 took that very literally by having Cortana basically die and resurrect as well as taking over with the guardians. To me at least in this very early era could be referencing commanding soldiers basically to their deaths and the abyss being guilt/insanity or the process of rampancy. It would be a very human take for an AI made from a human
6:43 okay sure everyone hates the halo tv show but like it was my 1st major exposure to the halo universe I grew up as a Nintendo kid and your videos got me into the actual franchise and the flood plus transformers earthspark is pretty enjoyable also and there is new South Park stuff on paramount plus that you can’t get anywhere else so is it really worth it to get rid of the subscription
I'm actually hoping you'll do more literature focused videos. all the "this is when halo quote X" clips gave me a strange yet very positive and interesting vibe
343i "oh man why are we having such a hard time keeping the fan base alive...." HiddenXpheria " anyways here is literally everything 343i could do to fix all their problems."
I heard of these form two diff halo channels ngl. One several years ago which was older an since have been turned private and the other I forgot the name of the channel. I remember seeing that site and also the i love bees stuff on other site
I just watched a video last night on how much the Internet is losing. And yes, the months before Halo 1 was released was full of an early ARG. Maybe the first rrlated to video games.
Haven't heard of the transmissions. But has been on my mind ever since halos inception. How would they listen in on echother granted the way information gathering currently works.
Hey since youre a big halo fan, do you know where i could find hq Ultra Elite armor file? Im attempting to make a 7-8ft tall elite cosplay and cant find a super easy access armor file
Is it weird that Halo 3 is one of the three contenders of being the first game I’ve ever played? For reference I have been playing video games since I was 6.
Iam a 33 year old halo fan I was wondering when you would talk about this, because it’s not very well known and it’s a good find only real halo fans know about this, hopefully we get a good halo game soon I haven’t played since halo 4 and from what I’ve herd 5 and infinite are awful
5 is definitely awful. Infinite doesnt exactly capture the feeling of the old halos, but i enjoy the campaign, certainly better than anything weve gotten in over 10 years. 343 still ruined the game though.
HiddenXperia try not to keep the halo community entertained for years to come: impossible
genuinely chief, you're holding this damn franchise alive.
Very true.
Yup
He’s keeping the community alive but this franchise is long dead I’m afraid
@@Jellybob69 True. 😭
This guy and rejected shotgun are working overtime lol
wait...so you're telling me I have a limited edition Halo 2 game, for the 360........that I still play.....and I didn't know it.

I love halo. been playing it since i was 5
Same
Been playing since i was 3. CE was released a year after i was.
At first i was was like "yeah sure, whatever, im pretty well read with halo"
*video ends
"....huh...well played"
ESP8 is most likely "Electronic Surveillance Post #8"; given that Reach was the home base of the UNSC Army, no doubt they had taps on every communication going in/out/around the place, monitoring for Insurrectionist sympathizers.
This was my guess as well. Some kind of surveillance post.
Would be cool to link it to Noble 6!! A threat to the last standing demons back on Reach!!
Can I just point out that the covenant always have the HARDEST ship names

yo could you point me to his other stuff? can't seem to find it
@@konstantinoplethepineapple577 what he said ^
I like their yellow jaws, they actually look frightening instead of just like stereotypically aesthetically pleasant, majestic aliens
CE Elites are nice, but I do like the Reach Elites better. They seem imposing, overpowering, and intimidating, yet elegant, agile, and impressive.
It's actually one of the reasons I like Infinite's Elites. They feel like a perfect mix between Classic Elites, Reach Elites, and 343 Elites.
Need a halo mega construx new articulation Halo CE gold elite with classic energy sword
I see why Cortana disabled the truth and reconciliation. The amount of shit they were talking. 😂
"Remorse is the pain of sin, we feel no remorse" is a badass line.
Luc - you are the chronicler keeping this franchise from fading into obscurity. Please keep doing what you do
13:33 Xperia is cooking
"This one is but Machine and Nerves, and has its mind made up"
"And this one is of Flesh and Faith. And is the more dignant,"
"This one is Machine and Nerve, and has its mind concluded.

I love seeing something new in halo, something different.

The one where spark asks Chief “last time you asked me, would I do it?” Even though they just met

Am I the only one who was wounded by the fact that HiddenXperia was sponsored by Paramount+?
Pretty disappointing. I guess it pays the bills

Upside of being an ancient I suppose - I actually remembered these.
Halo Truly Is One Of The Best Narratively Written Pieces Of Media I've Ever Seen , Just When We Think We Know It All ... We Don't , Awesome 🔥
The "no two bricks lay atop another" is from the book of Revalation in the Bible
11:06 left over Marathon dialogue
Watching this awesome contect got my mind off the fact I just tore a knee's medial collateral ligament
Man our community is starving for content. I'm at the point of writing my own stories just to supplement the lack of lore
This is so coool!!! You're incredible in finding this info just what i dont care how shallow it is its more hahaha
ESP could refer to a type of computer file used to unlock another, larger file.
These transmissions are really cool. They really shed more light on the early history of the franchise. I'm left very confused by these transmissions, but thoroughly entertained by this video discussing them. Keep up the great work!
I'd like to imagine the entire Human-Covenant War was started by Cortana trash talking via text
Cortana: "haha, you mad bro? LoL!"
Covenant: "And i took that personally."
Flood: "Ha, you both start with the two letter C and O. CoCo, ha ha funny, gonna eat you now, kthxbai."
Chief: *Facepalms* "I need a weapon..."
Cortana: "Could we make any more ?"
*Xperia pulls up chair to PC and cracks knuckes
Cortana: "I guess so..."
I... vaguely remember these from when I used to hang out on the Halo 2 and Halo 3 boards on gamefaqs ages ago, but it was sort of a "These are some neat fluff bits that tie in with CE." kinda way.
The way the elite looks on the thumb nail is how good elites should of looked in infinite
I love how bro just pulls these videos out of nowhere and makes them 10+ mins
Was literally thinking of this yesterday
Nothing like a tasty little morsel of lore to keep the dream alive :x
I could listen to you talk about Halo lore all day
I mean…pancreasnowork covered parts of it when he mentioned the covenant are bad at insults, so….
I asked my Yanme'e fictive, and they said it was indeed threshold's moon.
8:42 Metastability, Red vs Blue Meta mentioned!!!!!!
i started reading cryptum and have almost finished it, but this level of world building makes me think how hard a forerunner-ancient human era game go?
here's an idea
doesn't necessarily have to be a shooter either, maybe a stealth shooter where you play with a dual perspective of a young forerunner/human who are respectively taught to hate the other species and how to fight them, but circumstances make it so that they become friends and eventually revolutionary characters in the greater mainline story, connected to the main timeline somehow
this is just one possible idea, the possibilities are endless with the forerunner-ancient human era

Who doesn't love old content being lost to time as people forget and the sites are shut down/in disrepair?
You were devious for that kat shot😂
5:39 I'm pretty sure that unknown group was the reds and blues
1:40
We got Halo lost media before GTA 6
6:43 okay sure everyone hates the halo tv show but like it was my 1st major exposure to the halo universe I grew up as a Nintendo kid and your videos got me into the actual franchise and the flood plus transformers earthspark is pretty enjoyable also and there is new South Park stuff on paramount plus that you can’t get anywhere else so is it really worth it to get rid of the subscription
I'm actually hoping you'll do more literature focused videos. all the "this is when halo quote X" clips gave me a strange yet very positive and interesting vibe
In summary, they were trash-talking each other as if they were in the halo lobbies before the match
I love learning about this old Halo lore
Bro you need to make more lore behind halo 5 and infinite maps bro the last vids were so good
I love the idea of a Shipmaster trailing behind the Autumn in Slipspace just hating cuz they can't catch up
i remember reading these back in the day, back when we had to download patches for oni via the bungie site
This is some pretty cool lore! Nice video!
9:05 I think I remember these in Fall of Reach. Or is that just Mandala Effect?
ESP could be an early name for the ODP array
When I walk the former battlefields of the first 3. I only remember my closest friends.
really cool lore you keep bringing out for us
343i "oh man why are we having such a hard time keeping the fan base alive...."
HiddenXpheria " anyways here is literally everything 343i could do to fix all their problems."
You are Halo. As of right now, this is the most we will get lore wise, and you are it. You have to make your own custom story.
I like to think that these aren’t from covenant shipmasters, but genuinely just random crewmen trash talking the UNSC over space facebook
Keep up the great work!
9:10 the word you were looking for is "megalomaniacal" mega-low-man-eye-ickle
ESP could mean : Extraterestrial Selfdefence Platform
So 343 had access to all these amazing examples of what a Real Meta stable Cortana could've been like and we got Halo 5
Halo fans will never not take a chance to dunk on the show, and I am here for it lol
14 years being well over half your life. Thanks for aging me.
Cancel subscriptions through a 3rd party app when you can do it through paramount...lol
Nice you should collab with rocketsloth on the unknown odst mystery
😂 I thought he was about to shill paramount but had a twist of it making sure you dont have it xD
What was that CE Elite clip from the beginning? I have to know, it looks interesting
I thought you were about to start sponsoring Paramount🤣
Missed you at HCS today.😢
I’m there today too!
For a sec I thought you were sponsored by paramount
Will you ever return to Halo What ifs?
the few we had were awesome

Does he play destiny? 👀
Love your channel man keep up the work

Hiddenxperia keeping halo alive
Oh damn Society of the Ancients! Honestly forgot about it for years. More Iris coverage hell yeag.
So when are you going to do an ice berg video.Can the halo lore expert can beat installation 00 in his lore knowledge. Iceberg challenge?
Haven't heard of the transmissions. But has been on my mind ever since halos inception.
How would they listen in on echother granted the way information gathering currently works.
Halo twogether!
For halo lore i come here you the man
Is this the Cortana letters?
Honestly if this is the content halo creators have to make.
Halo is in sorrowful times.
Fun fact when u playing game I can here some them in game
Hey since youre a big halo fan, do you know where i could find hq Ultra Elite armor file? Im attempting to make a 7-8ft tall elite cosplay and cant find a super easy access armor file

Sadly paramount still has South Park so you know im still on their lol. I miss old halo lore. I feel too old now. :(
What was the soundtrack playing at 7:30
I know I'm dating myself here, but if it's ilovebees it was covered in the Halo 2 Legendary Edition DVD.
Awesome
