"And now, a rare inside look at Spartan armor. Here we are with some of the engineers responsible for the MJOLNIR system. What might we not have known about this armor as civilians?" "One of the first changes we made early on in the program at the request of the Spartans using the armor was the addition of an actuated panel on the groin which allowed for the user to expose their scrotum and dangle it repeatedly into the mouths of their dead enemies. We of course said it was ridiculous and refused but days later we were put under very serious orders by ONI and we were even threatened to make it happen. But as I understand it proved instrumental in winning the war."

You feel emotions for the spirit of Veteranhood. A reverance for the noble sacrifice of all who came before to give all that are now what they have. It's not a trivial thing being honoured in this short sequence, but a deep respect for the sacred force that animates us as human beings. It's a message about what it means to be human, that was inspired by the game for which it became an advertisement. That's what we feel, the spirit in humanity which is spoken for by the careful intent on display. Reverence.

Most if not all UNSC forces were killed the few who survived probably got PTSD like that suicidal marine in all the halo games. Watch the Mona Lisa comic and you'll see what they saw.

Just my opinion halo ce (forget where i read this) few marines together with sgt johnson survive the destruction of the ring. this marines might be silence by oni or other way to cover up the existence of the flood Halo 2 only sgt johnson and commander miranda keyes escape the ring with abiter, since both of them are high ranking officer so they been order to stay silence about the flood Halo 3 no one survive the battle of the ark except MC but at the mombasa there might be few survivors excape when the place been glassed by the order of shipmaster to stop the flood. so there still some rumors or some kind of horror story about the flood that spread eventhough been covered up by the oni and other

They did cover it up, at the end of the level when the Shipmasters fleet is glassing a 3rd of Africa? That's the cover up. The UN/ONI claimed that to be a "lucky breakthrough in that sector of battle whereas a single Covenant ship bypassed the battered lines of the UNSC" They blamed the Covenant for glassing the area. .. which makes sense.

It was a pretty gutsy move putting that detail because this trailer was released before the game was released (obviously), so that was like a major spoiler and yet somehow it still didn't detract from the impact of the game ending.

I personally like to believe that after Halo 3. That was it. No Halo 4. 5… Infinite. Just Chief still floating in space waiting for rescue. Still up there, his happily ever after, waiting for him.

Phantom117 B it really is a thought provoking quote

its a good sentiment but in reality honors are not about the soldier who earned them. they are about the soldiers who didn't. sometimes we honor soldiers only for doing what was expected of them because we want to inspire everyone else to live up to his or her example. it builds morale. if you take the master chief's sentiment to the extreme, then no soldier would ever be honored. we're expected to destroy the enemy. give our lives if necessary for our brothers and the mission. what menial accomplishments can we make that warrant recognition compared to that? there are none. but commanders still find excuses to hand out awards because of the effect it has on the other soldiers, not because of the effect it has on the one being honored.

By extension “no man should be honoured for doing what is expected”

That was pretty much the moral of Halo Reach

Jim Smith well a soldier is honored for doing more than what is expected. So in a way, Chief was right.

Man that is wholesome, this is canon to me.

I remember when the chief was driving a mongoose with another marine on the back who had a rocket launcher. I myself was on the back of another one also with a launcher. When the scarab turned up the chief immediately dove into battle and drove to it. That's when I opened fire onto the scarab hitting the chief immediately and almost pushing him of the map from the explosion. His weapon missfired and shot my driver. He took my weapon and left me there for my safety I suppose before driving off to the scarab. I ran behind him for a few meters but I understood that he wanted me to be safe. He gave us hope.

bloodrunsclear Thanks for the compliments. The soundtrack for Halo 3 was such a masterpiece, that I felt that by adding a little bit in the background made this collection really come together.

Yeah, if it weren't for the lines they were given. The men they got acted just like the kind of men you speak with at the VFW.

There were prob all world war 2/korea veterans

If I could have changed one thing to make it more believable, it would have been the jargon. Like, include model numbers and caliburs instead of just "sniper rifle," and "shotgun." *impossibly deep voice* "Me? I used shotguns. Mostly the older M90. The m45s were still rare, and most weren't distributed until the counteroffensive."

@@joffrecordan That's a bit of a double edged sword... If you want to confuse an American soldier, ask him to describe an M1. He won't know if you're talking about an entrenching tool, a main battle tank, a World War 2 battle rifle, or a water canteen. Also, it's accurate for a vet to "dumb down" his terminology, so as to not confuse the civvie that he's talking to.

What happened was that fans started shitting on them for just minor mistakes, the young gamers are more bloodlustful then the ones that grew up with Halo, Call of Duty, Unreal Tournament etc.

Johnny Cage don't blame the fucking Devs for it either, the stockholders and company want it.

That's exactly what I mean; it's a matter of getting in bed with the right people in order to "be successful [cough]-make money-[cough]". The way I see it, making good games is like making a good film. Like Jackie Chan says - "whatever you do, do the best you can because the film lives forever. Would you go to every theatre to explain to the audience why the film was not your best? When the audience sits in the theatre they see: good movie, bad movie - that’s all". So I do blame devs to a degree - they are unique groups of people with unique sets of skills; if you have pure passion for what you do, take pride in your work, trust in your abilities and the abilities of your team, then there is no reason why you should bet on anyone but yourself. This campaign advert is a direct testament to that notion. That's just how I see it.

Thankfully there are some examples of art in game making these days. The Witcher 3 is at least one of them.

so far, what i have seen. only very very few do this. and 2 of these developers are japanese. Hideo Kojima, and Yoko Taro. landing with the Metal Gear series. and the Nier series games. Bunji is just a shell now, rebranded and recrewed as a diffrent company under the name. doing just as you said. games are small now, and little work goes into them. CSGO, CoD, Overwatch, Destiny, Siege, Payday. ect. If you go back, just to 2015. Metal gear solid V. was mr. Hideo's last games. it was built from single player up in concentration. to show a story, with art to help tell that story. expressions, actions, scenes, feelings. Every metal gear game he made. he put his faith of art into it. he wanted to make art, not a video game. He was also on the way to doing the same thing with his latest game, Silent Hill. or P.T. back in the day. but was shut down and layed off. though him and his developers made a team, called Kojima productions thats making a great new series. Jump back a few months from now and we have what might be the final Nier game. built to be art, to show a story. Each of mr. Taro's games have done this from nearly the beginning. so far in the line. Now games such as doom. is just arcade. run and gun. i mean it is a great stress releaver and the such to just blast away and shit. but, even that it DOES hold a story. its not about its art, its story guides it to the next levels of just killing things. Hell even CAPCOM use to be there. RE4 was their last great success. Then we have Rockstar whose goal is to outdo themselves some x2 fold then their previous game, theyre all about detail and freedom in their games. i dont know of any other company that plays story and art over generic fighting... other then Sony Entertainment. Their games are AMAZING in graphics, in story, and in art with just enough combat or fighting in them. their games are like books though, you usually have only one way to play them and have achievements on how to get to the end by doing this or that through the story. which is fine. but has very little replay value to it.

I wish 343 didn't decide to side with book fans. The best thing about Master Chief being a vessel for the player was that ad campaigns like THIS were made to honor the fans that made the series a success. I play Halo to play as the Master Chief (The hero of the games) not John S-117 (The guy you read about in the books) 343 and book fans just don't get it. Halo was great because it didn't hold your hand and tell you how to feel. Halo 4 forces its dramatic story and people still eat it up despite it not being earned. It was supposed to be a start to a new trilogy, but it felt like it was a part 2 to one instead of a proper start. It was too dark and serious too damn quick.

Because this came from the heart and was lovingly crafted by those that actually cared.

They spent millions on this too, but it was significantly better managed

Because the Tv show writers were super pretentious and went out of their way to ignore all of the games, books, and established lore. While BELIEVE was made with heart

It's unbelievable. It almost seems like it's on purpose. There is no other logical way to explain the myopia. Wtf. Halo could go soooooo deep, they only need to look to the novels, while they struggle for plot, good writers are expanding the lexicon in print, This doesn't fucking compute to me. It's either bureaucracy or ignorance, or a bit of both. The braintrust at Microsoft Studios is probably wondering why the last 3 Halo titles failed, but never considered fan engagement, and little nuggets like this video, or the ODST trailer, they made a fucking film quality trailer for a secondary game title. It was all genius, and it felt important. It was masterful. Now what? Nothing. Bethesda acquisitions. Ugh. It's over. It seems like the world at large is purposefully detaching from Humanity. There's no other explanation. Clearly profit doesn't matter. If it did, we would have had progressively better Halo titles after Halo 3, thats where it all went wrong.

343's biggest mistake was making Halo into a character-driven story. Chief worked well as a semi-player-insert, because even though he wasn't the most complicated character, the Halo games were driven by the events going on around the player. In Bungie's games, you always got the feeling that you were a small part of a much larger battle, even if the most important pieces fell onto your shoulders as Master Chief. Halo 4 retained that feeling to a certain degree, but Halo 5 just threw it out the window. In the story of Halo 5, anything that doesn't directly affect Chief, Blue Team, or Osiris might as well not even have happened.

I mean when you think about it 343 had a huge mountain to climb after Halo3/Reach. In all the first Halo games we have this sense of this impossible task/war taking place against the Covenant and then the Flood gets thrown in as well and is somehow worse. After the third game though and the Covenant is beaten/broken up /friendly with us and the Flood doesn't even appear. They've had to build the stakes all the way back up again and about as close as they can be with the A.I. rebellion...though they want to forcefully watch over us and not annihilate us like the Covenant did.

@@theicemanleaveth Which is why I like the look of Halo Infinite, seeing all the allied icons on that battle/deployment map get crossed off and listed as KIA makes humanity look desperate once again.

I always avoid everything about story before I play a game. It really did feel like humanity's last stand. At first it seemed like Earth would be unassailable. Then you see the ease with which Malta and Athens platforms were destroyed... Seeing Delta Halo? I had almost the same reaction as Johnson. All of that again? While Earth was under attack? And ODST! All you really accomplish is capturing an engineer, blowing up the ONI building, and slowing the Covenant down a little. Most of the time all you're doing is just trying to group up and survive.

343 almost did, and cortanas like was actually in line with all the games, after 7 years, she began to die, she did saving chief, but fukin 343 brought her crazy ass back as the enemy and not the flood

Bell Idrael fans killed it

Activision is worse than microsoft

@@vadersfist6495 ya but thats not where the books end

cringe

Jonathan Longford so true

NakeyJakey and his weepy little bitches

*smooch*

Dogbless mommy!!!!

Dog bless *kiss kiss*

Not just possibly, you can literally hear the civilians of New Mombasa get gunned down in the audio logs from Halo 3 ODST. Pretty chilling stuff.

Oldschool

AnOldLady 2610 because he said 3 years ago in 2607

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It's a good OS lol

They got set back after y2.6k so they had to make due

Corporate America happened... :(

343

343 decided to chase trends instead of keeping what made halo great. And they almost got it right with infinte but their shitty work polices snuffed that game’s potential

SEND A SITREP, BOOT!

Well, how is it? Do you “believe” yet?

The Four Horsemen remember the chief

Remember the fallen

Ismael Gonzalez no remember the Spartans

And the arditer

war like this is terrible, we can only hope to never have something like this again

Sheogorath Unearth I think he means he want humanity to work together than against each other. As much I disagree, it seem when humanity is threaten is only when humanity want to cooperative with each other to agree as one.

It sadly didn’t

@@kreigguardsman3355 you know, I was so disappointed. Master Cheeks was all in the camera with his helmet and clothes off. If it was about some random Spartan…ok maybe, but don’t call this Master Chief. And just like with everything else in Hollywood they completely ignore the source material to be “woke”

Accurate to lore? When Halo 3 first came out I was so disappointed because this had me hyped and it wasn’t even part of the game. When this battle was taking place, you weren’t near it as Master Chief. This ad campaign had nothing to do with Halo 3.
