I'd never heard of the extended ending to High Charity until today. It's so sad Bungie couldn't include it in the final product but also explains why the final section of the level is extremely minimalistic and it just ends by walking to the edge of the balcony.
Shaquille Shaw I'm pretty sure they would have had to have taken another 2 to years to do what they originally wanted to do, so I would say 2006 or 2007. Supposedly they weren't even halfway done yet. Crazy to think of what could have been
what would win A highly advanced civilization capable of building entire solar system sized Dyson's Speres and traveling across galaxies or one infecty boi
Who would win A tier 3 allied group of alien races with control of the most powerful weapons in the galaxy and there own incredibly powerful limitless armada of giant destroyers, frigate, carriers, supercarriers, guided plasma, beam laser and whatever else Or one greeny boi
Who would win? Protector of humanity and it's finest weapon, equipped with the most advanced technological and biological enhancements OR one snipey boi?
"You're people used to call him 'Demon,'" Locke stated. "Was that an insult, or a compliment?" Thel let out a muffled, but hearty laugh, the amusement of the conversation even reaching his Elites. "An insult to be sure," Thel answered, his pace carrying him away from the Spartan. "But, one with a modicum of respect. For he was indeed my enemy. But in time, with every battle, and every enemy we faced, he grew to call me...ally..." The whole room fell still. Even the steadfast Elites were now interested in his words, each one weighing heavy. Thel stayed silent as he sighed in thought. But eventually, his revelation came. "...and I grew to call him friend."
I always wanted a video like this. I never understood why he had to jump off the ship and didn't just kill truth. However, I never had the desire to read the comic. Thanks Xpieria
I LOVE this kind of video. This is what you guys need to do in this so called Halo "drought". Use your imagination man : you got so many lore pieces and Halo stuff to make videos about. Keep this up!
It's funny you came out with this video today. I was just watching Act Man's Halo 3 video and he spoke about how he wanted to know what happened between the end of Halo 2 and the start of Halo 3. Awesome video Xperia! Also, what comic is this? I would love to get my hands on it.
It helps explain why the Prophet of Truth was specific at the beginning of Halo 3, when he said "...not even your Demon will live to creep...". It's because moments earlier he was creeping on the Prophet.
Phoenix Ash tbh I was kinda expecting a hunter charging in and hit chief out of hiding which would've made sense but a sniper jackal out of all the covenant.
Every event in the Halo universe occurs in a sophisticated fashion such that there exists no better outcomes or alternatives. In this case if Master Chief would have taken out the prophet chances are he would have taken control of the 4runner ship and without adequate leadership the Covenant forces would eventually fail. Thus High Charity containing the flood have no reason to arrive at the ark so they would directly travel to earth and end Humanity's home.
This should have been the very first mission in Halo 3. Felt like it was missing this build up that Halo 2 left as a cliffhanger. Chasing Truth to finish him.
Would like to make a correction. You weren't going to be flying banshees in the cut part of the h2 mission. The plan was to have chief and his warthog be catapulted through large horizontal gravity lifts, which I'm assuming were those large energy-like tunnels. It's talked about in this Bungie.net post: halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=25650
My step father bought me the Halo Uprising graphic novel. My first Halo was Halo 2 and I just recently bought Halo 3 and finished it. Still I never could piece together in what part of the Halo saga this comic was in until now. Thank you so much HiddenXpedia. You´re great.
I always wished this could have been a DLC mission of some sorts. Imagine running through the keyship mowing down enemies and then getting an epic end cinematic like the end of the comic? I’d definitely pay big bucks for it!
I will agree that 343 has fucked up in many ways, but did you really expect a Halo 3 anniversary? The Halo community is full of whiny-ass babies that shit on 343 a bit too much. 343 should be completely focused on the next major Halo title, not making an anniversary for every game made by Bungie.
Just how strong are mjlonir shields in canon? MC got hit by multiple fuel rounds and didn’t die. The strength of shields seems to be something that is inconsistent, even when ignoring gameplay mechanics.
MrReyno Tanks well its not just the shields, the ceramic some what absorbs the plasma, while the gel suit underneath spreads out and dissipates much of it, but either way, fuck it, he's chief
Marxist Mark Thats private property, which is illegal, he would have to send off for a permit, in which time he would have died, but thats perfectly fine anyway, because chief is the oppressor in this scenario, the UNSC space patriarchy are actually the bad guys and the covenant are a bunch of alien rights activists who have come together in their minority status in order to fight the fascists.
I didn't realise how badly I needed this video. I always wondered why Chief seemed to throw in the towel and jump ship. I imagined him monologuing: "I mean *finishing this fight* would be great and all, but I need a third game!" Great work on another *iconic* video!
The Arbiter/The Oracle may be happening in tandem with ODST, but it takes weeks for In Amber Clad to get to Installation 05. ODST happens the same day as Cairo/Outskirts/Metropolis. Only the epilogue is after Halo 2.
I always thought the Prophets thought the Ark was on Earth and it was a plot twist to find out it was only a portal to the Ark on Earth. Because when they opened it, we were supposed to think they were firing the array, that's why that moment with all the ships trying to stop it was so epic and everyone was surprised to be alive after the thing opened.
Thank you for this! I never would’ve known there was a two week gap between H2 and 3 and that Chief was *so close* to ending the Covenant. That says a lot more about his power. Spartans really are like gods •_• I wish they had kept the Warthog+Banshee run in the game. It looks so fun! but they probably cut it for a reason. I’d really like to see a spin off game where you can shoot covenant in a warthog and banshee. Imagine the co-op fun that would be! Bonus points if it’s a premium mobile game!
If production had not been rushed, halo 2 would of had complete story (not cliffhanger ending) even more missions in the game which would've added onto the already longest halo game ever. More unique enemies (both covenant and flood) more brute specific weapons (maybe something similar to the plasma rifle just not a complete copy of one just red) A possibly more balanced legendary walkthrough and last but not least more amazing animations, both in cutscenes and in game. We also might have gotten to sprint in the game too but who knows. All because Microsoft rushed Bungie for a deadline.
bungie decided it was better to not remove player action as a result from input, they didnt like the idea of not being able to aim while sprinting. They kept it they way it was so that you would always be ready to fight, and to give people better incentives to get on vehicles.
Bro, not sure if you'll see this but I have been BINGING the ever loving out of your videos. I'm so fucking pumped for Halo Infinite gameplay reveal this month and I started playing through all the Halo games again on the MCC with a buddy of mine. We're attempting beating all of them on legendary! I just played through 2 (solo) because I realized I hadn't played it in years and I started up 3 immediately after and was like; "...........wait, how dafuq did we go from "finishing this fight" at the end of 2 to Chief falling out of the sky?" Low and behold, a google search recommended a video from your channel and here I am! Chief is a fucking bad ass! And your content is hands down some of the best informative Halo content I've watched. I'm really in awe of your passion for this franchise and your wealth of knowledge of all its vast and rich lore. Dig the Breaking Benjamin song in the background too! A little pissed the Halo 2 Anniversary took this song out during the Elite / Hunter and Brute showdown on High Charity mission. Anyways man, not sure you'll see this random comment but here to post it regardless! Thanks for the dedication that you bring to this community! Get fucking pumped! Only 11 more days!!!
Master Chief got beat by 6 Hunters? Piss off. Master Chief simultaneously took down 2 Scarabs in Halo 3, how in the great fucking name of I C O N I C did 6 Hunters beat him? Even on Legendary difficulty Chief could take down 6 Hunters! This makes no sense.
Mister No Life last time I checked the scarabs weren't focusing all their fire on chief the Hunters however did also when fighting the scarabs chief had access to hornets and rocket launchers and a fucking tank he didn't take them down with small arms fire
Since this "Halo drought" kinda forces you guys to get creative with new video ideas, how about Halo alternate universe theories? There are several Star Wars RUclipsrs who thrive off of super interesting "what if" scenarios about Star Wars movie events, and I've been wondering why basically no one seems to be doing the same for Halo. Not sure if you're into the idea Xperia but I'll just list some potential scenarios that sound interesting to me: 1. What if Earth was the first Human world the Covenant discovered? 2. What if the Great Schism never happened? (Maybe Regret safely escaped back to High Charity before Chief could get to him in Halo 2) 3. What if the UNSC found the Covenant first? (Maybe they discovered a minor Covenant colony somehow) 4. What if Humans had no connection to Forerunner technology and thus were not Reclaimers? 5. What if all Forerunner tech simply disappeared out of existence after the reseeding of the galaxy, never to be discovered by the Covenant races or Humans? 6. What if the Insurrection War never happened? 7. What if the Flood never existed? (Halo wouldn't be as I C O N I C) 8. What if Earth was lost to the Flood in Halo 3 and the Swords of Sanghelios had to glass the entire planet completely? (Ex: More Flood ships made it to Earth) 9. What if the Covenant weren't religious about Forerunner tech? 10. What if the Covenant discovered Earth in the early 21st century? 11. What if Truth, Mercy and Regret never rose to power? 12. What if the Spirit of Fire didn't have to sacrifice their FTL Drive to blow up Shield 0459 and they got back to Human Space soon after? (Flood knowledge and all) 13. What if Noble Six made it on board the Pillar of Autumn at the end of Halo: Reach and found Installation 04 with them? 14. What if the Pillar of Autumn discovered Installation 05 instead of 04 at the beginning of Halo CE? 15. What if Tartarus joined Arbiter at the end of Halo 2?
wow i always thought the gap was like instant through slipspace and i was wondering a though weeks how did he get off the ship but there was no results, well now there is this is so bad ass, love it keep it up been here since 10k.
Meme Central Well, Actually before that there was a mission called High Charity, High Charity is the fourteenth and penultimate campaign level of Halo 2. As John-117 battled the way through the Flood-infested High Charity to stop the Prophet of Truth before he boards the Forerunner Ship.
Imagine you spend that long on the dreadnaught and the master chief and not a single person knows where he is, and he’s literally just destroying everything
A Dreadnaut mission would have been so cool. Especially because we needed to play as Chief for the last mission, not the Arbiter. The Arbiter mission was amazing, it ended on a perfect cliffhanger. But, now it was time for Chief's turn. That mission was the Dreadnaut, being ambushed by dozen hunters, basically having the player kill Truth and end the Halo Arc. Except nope, a jackal sniper interrupts you and Truth gets away, and you end up bloodbathing every remaining enemy until you see Earth. In the E3 trailer they showed Chief floating in space, and the Halo 2 cover showed Chief making that iconic pose with the 2 SMGs with the red smoke cloud behind. That's EXACTLY how it should have ended. Showing Chief make it to Earth by flying. Then, being shown the Earth under attack. This was perfect. We were fooled to not get Full Fleet of covenant in halo 2 missions, but then it did at the end. No longer was it a scam by Bungie. It was fullfilled. WOW. They need to RE-DO that shit.
What I've always wondered is how did the Arbiter, Johnson, Miranda and company get to Earth from the Delta Halo and manage to arrive before the Chief? I doubt the Elites had many spare ships around to try and somehow taxi a couple humans to Earth through the entire remainder of Truth's forces.
Hey hiddenXperia, Another great video thank you! I have a suggestion could you make a video about how many spartan 1,2,3 that still survived and kicking
I remember back in the day when i booted up halo 3 i thought i was gunna be on the ship mudering everything.... Then i. Was like oh we are on earth rip XD
Love the little move by chief after the prophet of mercy when learning Truth's intentions. He tore off the infection form attached to the prophet thus granting him a swift and painless death. He showed mercy to mercy. Proving chief is more human than everyone thinks.
I remember when Induction hit the scene, if it is what I remember it to be which is a BSP Extractor/Injector. It turned the Halo 2 Modding Scene on its head, that’s for sure. People had been trying for awhile to pull sections of campaign missions (the campaign maps weren’t technically a single geometry, but multiple that were stitched together and loaded when you got closer to specific sections) to use for Multiplayer Maps and that was the Turning Point. Funny enough, if I remember correctly, the mission mentioned was what was actually used to show off / demonstrate the Mod Tool. That and another piece of modding software was what ended up kicking the modding scene (Anyone Remember Halo2MMmods?) into overdrive and gave us a massive amount of really amazing mods and maps at the time. The other tool, well there was actually two, was the Application that finally allowed you to extract the value and needed assets to inject fully functional water into maps that didn’t have it originally. The other, which was by far my favorite, was actually something that utilized a few files that were technically not suppose to be available to the public since they originated from Xbox Development Kits, Consoles and Software which allowed you to load up a map on your console while having the same map loaded on your modding software and make changes in real time over your local area network. Prior to that & In-App Map Viewers, you’d have to FTP the map files from console to PC, make desired changes and transfer it back, reboot the game and load up the map you were working on and repeat. Fun Times!
I fear no man...
But that thing..
*looks over to jackal sniper*
That thing scares me
I think that we all can agree on this. We would rather face 6 hunters than 6 jackal snipers.
Anes Mesic true !! 😂
Anes Mesic I would rather face 6 hunters than one jackal sniper
Ajax Gaming I see what you did there. Couldn't agree more
I'd rather face the flood gravemind in a chess match then 1 jackal sniper in laser tag
The covenant got trolled into trying to find a key that never existed
@@davidberner8315 a E-boy of all things...
Yeah, you could tell Bendis was just doing it for the paycheck.
Bro trolled the entire Covenant
Cleveland Ohio is canon
I'd never heard of the extended ending to High Charity until today. It's so sad Bungie couldn't include it in the final product but also explains why the final section of the level is extremely minimalistic and it just ends by walking to the edge of the balcony.
Zak Ras halo3 is also the second half of halo2 that was cut out and switched. That was from marty when he was asked about it after the lawsuit
Zak Ras TBH they should have waited til 2007 to release halo 2 to finish it
modest troll 2005 for the launch of the 360 I could see it finished
Shaquille Shaw I'm pretty sure they would have had to have taken another 2 to years to do what they originally wanted to do, so I would say 2006 or 2007. Supposedly they weren't even halfway done yet. Crazy to think of what could have been
@@walrusmcgee the levels were too long amd they had to scrapped it and cause of limitation of the orginal xbox and ram.

Tyler Tarkington same
Halo: Uprising is what Hidden said in another comment.
Damned be the jackal snipers *intense legendary difficulty rage*
I LOVE this kind of video. This is what you guys need to do in this so called Halo "drought". Use your imagination man : you got so many lore pieces and Halo stuff to make videos about. Keep this up!
Thanks my man! Yeah, that's the plan. Going to end up covering some real niche topics but they're interesting nonetheless!
HiddenXperia Cheers man (pls cover more comics❤️)
Vincent Ellenrieder/ SirHydry ikr!!! :)
HiddenXperia you mom gay
I shall try not to get canon parched.
It's funny you came out with this video today. I was just watching Act Man's Halo 3 video and he spoke about how he wanted to know what happened between the end of Halo 2 and the start of Halo 3. Awesome video Xperia!
Also, what comic is this? I would love to get my hands on it.
Thanks man! I'll send him the vid to check out :) The comic is Halo: Uprising!
I’ve found you again foxy Grampa
Thank you sir! I appreciate your kind response.
Foxy Grandpa the foxy pack? Hmm
The Foxy Pack is my pack of foxes... 😉
It helps explain why the Prophet of Truth was specific at the beginning of Halo 3, when he said "...not even your Demon will live to creep...". It's because moments earlier he was creeping on the Prophet.
This armor suits you, but it cannot hide you from those Jackals.
nothing ever will
These are my spartans their lives matter to me yours does not
Warriors prepare for combat unless they jackals say your prayers.
Damn sniper jackals!
Master Chief John-117 i'm sorry about what happened...
Master Chief John-117
Pff, they look like Grunts against my Spec Ops Rangers
Rtas `Vadum One headshot is all that's needed
Fucking jackals reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
For those who dont know this what happens when your 1v1-ing a jackal sniper:
1.He sees you
2.He shoots you
3.He kills you
I remember reading this story a long time ago, I'm glad to see it finally gets some attention
I mean it had to be. It had to be the most annoying Jackal snipers. They did that on purpose
Phoenix Ash tbh I was kinda expecting a hunter charging in and hit chief out of hiding which would've made sense but a sniper jackal out of all the covenant.
Gabriel Reaper you wanna know why a Jackal Sniper? Try playing that Halo 2 Level outskirts in heroic then you will understand
Phoenix Ash make that legendary because I had a history on that level.... I died 48 times whenever I'm on that level.
I’m convinced it was a meta joke
I think the first 3 games are psychological torture.
They should have had that as the beginning of halo 3
Yeah, would've been a dope gameplay segment, whether it was at the beginning of H3 or end of H2 like it was originally meant to be
Dam. now I wish it was a thing, I’m just imagining it, and there’s tears of joy just thinking about the fun that could be had
@@classicmenswear9850 well, you boys may be in luck, with mcc on pc eh?
But now talking seriously, actually it's an interesting video, liked it
Thanks man!
HiddenXperia Your welcome
Very neat lore video, very iconic... so a jackal sniper is the reason why all of Halo 3 happened?
Neat Boi one jackal sniper can cause a halo game
lmao foreal ^^^
That and the Prophet of Truth's change of personality, I guess.
Well they did kill every1 who played halo on legendary more than once I'm sure.
If only those six hunters cheif had to fight were from halo 1. They wouldve been such a pushover
lNonstop Gamerl
Halo 1 or 2. Hunters imo were a joke until halo 3.
But Halo 1 more specifically because of the one pistol shot to the back thing.
One shot to the gut with a model M6D
We LOVE Hidden Xperia

Phoenix Ash So in the end, the Jackal saved Humanity... can't belive this.
Joao Pedro that's quite the case
flood are connected to the precursors... so no
they were combined to make Animal Well, which came out on May 9th on Steam, Playstation, and Switch

Halo uprising was a great novel,i am surprised why it's so underrated.
Comic series, not a novel.

It was at this moment the brute knew... HE fucked up.
master chief john117 which brute the one with the plasma grenade on his... business or the pilot brute?
Gabriel Reaper the brute war chieftain.
master chief john117 oh, well he was to busy to finding a non existing artifact that he forgot to check the chief.
Gabriel Reaper yup..
master chief john117 yeah. Well i could've been worse.
I always wished this could have been a DLC mission of some sorts. Imagine running through the keyship mowing down enemies and then getting an epic end cinematic like the end of the comic? I’d definitely pay big bucks for it!
YES a new HiddenXperia video
Halo 3 Anniversary should include this mission as a bonus, a sort of apology for missing the 10 year anniversary release.
James Love yea.
"Apology"
How self centered do you have to be?
GUN SMOKE66 eh, what?
GUN SMOKE66 They still owe us after the MCC.
I will agree that 343 has fucked up in many ways, but did you really expect a Halo 3 anniversary? The Halo community is full of whiny-ass babies that shit on 343 a bit too much. 343 should be completely focused on the next major Halo title, not making an anniversary for every game made by Bungie.

It's because it's mk6
Heroic is treated as canon difficulty often.
There is no canon difficulty. Gameplay mechanics aren't necessarily canon.
It's called plot armor, and protagonist armor.
So happy I found this video, I always suspected that something had to have happened to chief for him to not just kill truth.
"Which event are you?"
"Chief did something that quite literally saved humanity."
"do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"
That whole thing about the "Key" made me smile so much
Would Chief have won against the 6 hunters if he had a vacuumcleaner?
Marxist Mark
Thats private property, which is illegal, he would have to send off for a permit, in which time he would have died, but thats perfectly fine anyway, because chief is the oppressor in this scenario, the UNSC space patriarchy are actually the bad guys and the covenant are a bunch of alien rights activists who have come together in their minority status in order to fight the fascists.
Aaron Barrett swap covenant with insurgents, and u basically have what was going on before the spartans
You get the game Animal Well, out now on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Comes with a free loaf of wonder bread if you wishlist it.
Blur Studios should do this as an extra animation that would be awesome. Kinda like the bonus halo 2 cutscene
I didn't realise how badly I needed this video. I always wondered why Chief seemed to throw in the towel and jump ship.
I imagined him monologuing: "I mean *finishing this fight* would be great and all, but I need a third game!"
Great work on another *iconic* video!
Dank music.

1:20 that shot with the music tho
Animal Well, May 9th it what happened
God I imagine that battle with the chief against the brutes must have been legendary.
Halo 3 ODST I'm not kidding
Well, that too (kinda, takes place parallel with/just after H2)
Actually no, that takes place during Halo 2. As in the end of Halo 2 takes place after ODST.
The Arbiter/The Oracle may be happening in tandem with ODST, but it takes weeks for In Amber Clad to get to Installation 05. ODST happens the same day as Cairo/Outskirts/Metropolis. Only the epilogue is after Halo 2.
I always thought the Prophets thought the Ark was on Earth and it was a plot twist to find out it was only a portal to the Ark on Earth.

Omg!!!!

Halo 2 is my favorite game of all existing. Uwu
Holy hell thank you hiddenxperia, this is some amazing info I would've never found
8:09 I bet you were mildly inconvenienced by that grunt.
Chief mind Telling me what you’re doing at McDonald’s
MC: sir finishing this Big Mac
Thank you for this! I never would’ve known there was a two week gap between H2 and 3 and that Chief was *so close* to ending the Covenant. That says a lot more about his power. Spartans really are like gods •_•
I wish they had kept the Warthog+Banshee run in the game. It looks so fun! but they probably cut it for a reason. I’d really like to see a spin off game where you can shoot covenant in a warthog and banshee. Imagine the co-op fun that would be! Bonus points if it’s a premium mobile game!
you’re such an underrated youtube fr don’t get why you don’t have more than 500K
imagine if THIS was the final mission of Halo 2.
that would be great
big halo fan
Dammit, I get goosebumps throughout the majority of your videos because of the halo soundtrack in the background.
Also how’d Johnson and arbiter get back to earth before chief?
i have the same que
playing and uploading halo game
big fan of halo
You're videos are so well made.
If production had not been rushed, halo 2 would of had complete story (not cliffhanger ending) even more missions in the game which would've added onto the already longest halo game ever. More unique enemies (both covenant and flood) more brute specific weapons (maybe something similar to the plasma rifle just not a complete copy of one just red) A possibly more balanced legendary walkthrough and last but not least more amazing animations, both in cutscenes and in game. We also might have gotten to sprint in the game too but who knows. All because Microsoft rushed Bungie for a deadline.
Ügiustus Keiserus Sprint was cut due to pacing issues, so eithher way, we wouldn't be able to Sprint
Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure sprint was cut early on because it didn’t work well with the sandbox
Ügiustus Keiserus
Sprint was cut because of level design issues, not time.
Trust me, you don't want sprint. They cut it from the game for a reason.
bungie decided it was better to not remove player action as a result from input, they didnt like the idea of not being able to aim while sprinting. They kept it they way it was so that you would always be ready to fight, and to give people better incentives to get on vehicles.

I'm really in awe of your passion for this franchise and your wealth of knowledge of all its vast and rich lore. Dig the Breaking Benjamin song in the background too! A little pissed the Halo 2 Anniversary took this song out during the Elite / Hunter and Brute showdown on High Charity mission. Anyways man, not sure you'll see this random comment but here to post it regardless! Thanks for the dedication that you bring to this community! Get fucking pumped!
Only 11 more days!!!
how did he not starve
He’s Chief he doesn’t need to eat
when chief got to earth and contacted lord hood, he was in the same place he first entered the ship at the end of halo 2. explain this?
Chief why do you play on Legendary ffs, always the Jackal sniper man!
Love the video man I did not know that I was curious on how chief came into the atmosphere the way he did
Interesting, what comic was that you used in the video?
Uprising.
The "Key of Osanalan" part being imaginary reminds me of Larry's "Cube of Rubik" from Night at the Museum 2.
Hey does anyone know what the name of the book is shown in this video? I would LOVE to read it in my personal time
Halo: Uprising :)
Thanks a bunch HiddenXperia! ^^
Hey, man, I like your videos and your narration. Keep it up!
Master Chief got beat by 6 Hunters? Piss off.
Master Chief simultaneously took down 2 Scarabs in Halo 3, how in the great fucking name of I C O N I C did 6 Hunters beat him?
Even on Legendary difficulty Chief could take down 6 Hunters!
This makes no sense.
Mister No Life hunters are very powerful in the lore, Spartan will lost his life too 2 hunters and so on
Even if it is a tight room, I'm sure Chief would find a way to beat them.
Mister No Life last time I checked
the scarabs weren't focusing all their fire on chief
the Hunters however
did
also when fighting the scarabs chief had access to hornets
and rocket launchers
and a fucking tank
he didn't take them down with small arms fire
The hunters got the jump on him and they didn't beat him, they knocked him down
Still, I find it hard to believe 6 Hunters would knock him down. He's the fucking Master Chief!
I look forward to your content so damn much
Not friend it was ackersons brother
Hidden I love that “you are already dead” meme photoshopped onto a jackal 😂👌🏻
Since this "Halo drought" kinda forces you guys to get creative with new video ideas, how about Halo alternate universe theories? There are several Star Wars RUclipsrs who thrive off of super interesting "what if" scenarios about Star Wars movie events, and I've been wondering why basically no one seems to be doing the same for Halo.
Not sure if you're into the idea Xperia but I'll just list some potential scenarios that sound interesting to me:
1. What if Earth was the first Human world the Covenant discovered?
2. What if the Great Schism never happened? (Maybe Regret safely escaped back to High Charity before Chief could get to him in Halo 2)
3. What if the UNSC found the Covenant first? (Maybe they discovered a minor Covenant colony somehow)
4. What if Humans had no connection to Forerunner technology and thus were not Reclaimers?
5. What if all Forerunner tech simply disappeared out of existence after the reseeding of the galaxy, never to be discovered by the Covenant races or Humans?
6. What if the Insurrection War never happened?
7. What if the Flood never existed? (Halo wouldn't be as I C O N I C)
8. What if Earth was lost to the Flood in Halo 3 and the Swords of Sanghelios had to glass the entire planet completely? (Ex: More Flood ships made it to Earth)
9. What if the Covenant weren't religious about Forerunner tech?
10. What if the Covenant discovered Earth in the early 21st century?
11. What if Truth, Mercy and Regret never rose to power?
12. What if the Spirit of Fire didn't have to sacrifice their FTL Drive to blow up Shield 0459 and they got back to Human Space soon after? (Flood knowledge and all)
13. What if Noble Six made it on board the Pillar of Autumn at the end of Halo: Reach and found Installation 04 with them?
14. What if the Pillar of Autumn discovered Installation 05 instead of 04 at the beginning of Halo CE?
15. What if Tartarus joined Arbiter at the end of Halo 2?
I’m a huge Halo nerd, I’ve read a lot of the books, played all the games, but I didn’t know this. Good job!
me too big halo fan
how johnson ans keys reached earth earlier then master chief
Where did you find an HQ Blow Me Away instrumental?
That 'Blow Me Away' instrumental was dope.
Cleveland Ohio... i live half an hour from there.
Parma here.
wow i always thought the gap was like instant through slipspace and i was wondering a though weeks how did he get off the ship but there was no results, well now there is this is so bad ass, love it keep it up been here since 10k.
Short version: He fucking falls from space and lands on earth, Done.
Sneik xd no he wipes out a ship filled with Covies almost ends a war
Meme Central Well, Actually before that there was a mission called High Charity, High Charity is the fourteenth and penultimate campaign level of Halo 2. As John-117 battled the way through the Flood-infested High Charity to stop the Prophet of Truth before he boards the Forerunner Ship.
And if you were talking about that mission, yes, i actually know what happens in halo 2 to halo 3
When you don't watch the video and start acting like you know what happens.
Imagine you spend that long on the dreadnaught and the master chief and not a single person knows where he is, and he’s literally just destroying everything
Had to be A JACKAL SNIPER
A Dreadnaut mission would have been so cool.
Especially because we needed to play as Chief for the last mission, not the Arbiter.
The Arbiter mission was amazing, it ended on a perfect cliffhanger. But, now it was time for Chief's turn.
That mission was the Dreadnaut, being ambushed by dozen hunters, basically having the player kill Truth and end the Halo Arc.
Except nope, a jackal sniper interrupts you and Truth gets away, and you end up bloodbathing every remaining enemy until you see Earth. In the E3 trailer they showed Chief floating in space, and the Halo 2 cover showed Chief making that iconic pose with the 2 SMGs with the red smoke cloud behind. That's EXACTLY how it should have ended. Showing Chief make it to Earth by flying. Then, being shown the Earth under attack. This was perfect.
We were fooled to not get Full Fleet of covenant in halo 2 missions, but then it did at the end. No longer was it a scam by Bungie. It was fullfilled.
WOW. They need to RE-DO that shit.
Oh that's an easy question. Halo 2.5, duh.
What I've always wondered is how did the Arbiter, Johnson, Miranda and company get to Earth from the Delta Halo and manage to arrive before the Chief? I doubt the Elites had many spare ships around to try and somehow taxi a couple humans to Earth through the entire remainder of Truth's forces.
*I* *C* *O* *N* *I* *C*
that rue and woe soundtrack in the intro of vid gave so many nostalgic memories and feels omg...fuck 2005 was a great time.
Probley it was a HALO 2 jackel
Hey hiddenXperia,
Another great video thank you!
I have a suggestion could you make a video about how many spartan 1,2,3 that still survived and kicking
I remember back in the day when i booted up halo 3 i thought i was gunna be on the ship mudering everything.... Then i. Was like oh we are on earth rip XD
DarkSamiri430 same tbh I was actually ready for a slaughter house.
Love the little move by chief after the prophet of mercy when learning Truth's intentions. He tore off the infection form attached to the prophet thus granting him a swift and painless death. He showed mercy to mercy. Proving chief is more human than everyone thinks.
To be fare, MC couldn't get that shot, prophets shields are invuñnerable to small fire, so jackal or no jackal, he couldn't snipe truth
spartanleinadp01 a sniper isn't small fire though?
but that was a carbine not a sniper
Am I the only one who goes back to old videos to refresh/relearn some halo lore
The video has 666 views!!!may god save us all..
The guy who fooled the entire covenant into trying to find a piece of tin foil is amazing. Absolute chad
"here let me give him my welcome to earth gift basket"
Oh shit, I was mentioned! Thanks Luc! :D
I remember when Induction hit the scene, if it is what I remember it to be which is a BSP Extractor/Injector. It turned the Halo 2 Modding Scene on its head, that’s for sure. People had been trying for awhile to pull sections of campaign missions (the campaign maps weren’t technically a single geometry, but multiple that were stitched together and loaded when you got closer to specific sections) to use for Multiplayer Maps and that was the Turning Point. Funny enough, if I remember correctly, the mission mentioned was what was actually used to show off / demonstrate the Mod Tool.
That and another piece of modding software was what ended up kicking the modding scene (Anyone Remember Halo2MMmods?) into overdrive and gave us a massive amount of really amazing mods and maps at the time.
The other tool, well there was actually two, was the Application that finally allowed you to extract the value and needed assets to inject fully functional water into maps that didn’t have it originally. The other, which was by far my favorite, was actually something that utilized a few files that were technically not suppose to be available to the public since they originated from Xbox Development Kits, Consoles and Software which allowed you to load up a map on your console while having the same map loaded on your modding software and make changes in real time over your local area network. Prior to that & In-App Map Viewers, you’d have to FTP the map files from console to PC, make desired changes and transfer it back, reboot the game and load up the map you were working on and repeat.
Fun Times!
You explain things so well!
God the old songs and old halo.. so many memories...
There is something about Warthog run mad dash to the finish is so fun and satisfying!
