I still remember getting home from school the day Halo 2 came out. You just had to stare at that menu for a bit to believe it was actually real.

I've cried to this a few times before. A world-class, classically trained musician and his fellow maestro companion, so many different kinds of media and projects they can choose to bring their talents to, yet they chose this slightly different path, giving to some of the best video games out there the amazing soundtracks said games deserve.
Never Forget the Spartans and Elites, who fought alongside each other, for all these years... You will be missed, Bungie... You will be missed, Xbox 360 Live Servers... You will be missed.
It's just a little insane how many emotions or scenes this ost invokes in just the first 17 seconds. Going from the image of an army arriving to save what was a seemingly lost batte, all the way to a military cemetary being filled with the souls that were sacrificed for that war. Going from comfort to melancholy to pure sadness depending on how you interpret it. Man this just simply amazing.
Me mourning the loss of Halo as it once was and sad that modern greed has ruined a once legendary franchise. Rest in Peace Halo. Gone, but not forgotten.
its incredible that so many, many people can hear this and all feel the same feeling. that has to prove that times back then were indeed better than now, right? perhaps the best they ever have been. and i think its deeper than just the games we played. i think life was just good for everyone. we were happy. and i dont think we know how to be happy anymore, but when something reminds us of those times we get the deep urge to feel it again knowing it will never happen. its very sad.
Cuando tengo tantas cosas que no puedo soportar vengo aquí y la escucho, mágicamente las lagrimas caen por mis mejillas hasta caer el suelo, y empiezo a desahogarme.
It's unbelievable what halo and halo 2 made for ours generation, something hard to explain... playing online with friends...We were so happy, probably haven’t been that happy since
I remember playing this as a kid, i died a lot, i always played on easy cause it was hard for me (i was 6-7 years old), but i enjoyed everything, every mision, every enemy, i enyojed Halo 2, and i feel proud of that...
Agree... 343 ruined it... last one I played was 4... but I loved the Trilogy and Reach... ODST was okay, but once 4 landed, was excited to see what 343 could do with it and.... what a let down. I still enjoyed the story so I powered through, but even that got worse. Now I just watch the cutscenes people are kind enough to upload to keep track of the story. They should have just let 117 float until someone with respect could handle the IP with what it deserved. I can remember the LAN parties like it was yesterday... forgetting about the time.
They only made one actually bad Halo. Halo 4 was fine, and Halo Infinite was a small but decent step in the right direction campaign-wise. Idgaf about multiplayer. Halo 5 was the only one 343 made that was actually just bad.
Back when they actually cared about the full creation of games and the soundtrack that they played. Before games became a money grab. Back when it was about the players. We've been forgotten...
all good things come to an end. truly wild how much halo 2 and 3 meant to the entertainment industry at the time, we'll never get anything like that or the COD4-MW2 run again.
@ch7me I'm talking about game developers back then vs now. Before it was to make the best possible game now it's to make the most money. The love for the art of creation is lost by corporate greed.
Y'know from the ages of 6 till 12, videogames were nothing than dumb fun to me. But there were games that, for some reason, were more than that. Games that changed me. Both of those games were flagship titles of the original Xbox. Both of those games, were halo. Their music hit me hard, even as a kid. But where Combat evolved merely opened the doorbto realising how beautiful games could be, Halo 2 is what cemented that mindset. Even as a kid, I was able to feel the Arbiter's struggles. Halo 2 did what most fiction fails to do: show you the prespective of "the enemy" in a fair way. I could see how hurt he was in his final effort to save Tatarus, and I felt so sh*tty when Tartarus couldn't accept it, even knowing that it was in no way the Arbiter's fault. The most capitivating story from beginning to end.

And since 343 took over Halo, the quality of the series begins to drop when Halo 4 and 5 came out, leaving fans less happy and became toxic of the newer games not being like Bungie's 5 Halo games (CE, 2, 3, 3 ODST, Reach). Although Halo Infinite itself (imo) is an actual Halo than 4 and 5 due to its near-epic story like Bungie, the armor of the characters, and the multiplayer being fun than ever, with co-op and Forge recently added. I am so proud of coming back as a Halo fan since the Bungie days when I was a kid who was bad at multiplayer. Halo 4 was alright, never tried 5 until as of now (and it was mediocre)...but Infinite shows how 343 can listen to fans in making it look like Bungie's portrayal of the series as possible.

In 343`s defence, they done wonders for the charecters of halo, despite a few misses. They turned the near-silent McGuffin that was Chief into a man struggling with loss and a lack of basic humanity with very relatable valubilites, gave Jacob and Miranda a worthy succseor with Lasky. turned Halsey from a nigh-on mythical name to an aged mother wracked with guilt. And last but not least, 343 introduced a villian with as much protenical and importance seen since the days of Mendicant Bias and the Gravemind, The Ur-Didact.
@@essex3777 you mean the fact that chief is now emo? And the wonders of characters like In the God awful TV show?

No developer should lose their job unless they done something horrible. Doing something completely different to the franchise is not one of them. It’s the higher ups that cause this and the developers has to go through it. So if you want someone lose their jobs blame the higher-ups.

Absolutely beautiful

It was just a game to my little sister and I, but it would later become a legacy. Halo is a staple to gaming.
A piece of art and a piece of my childhood/adolescence.
This song reminds me of all the fun we had in our time playing video games no matter what console. I’m gonna miss the old days 🙂↕️
