I just wanna say… I’m 34 and have played halo since the original, made so many friends playing the games who I am still friends with to this day. Thank you bungie for creating a world we all revelled in, thank you for the memories. Fellow Spartans! It’s been an honour fighting humanities enemies with you all these years, together we finished the fight.❤
I've also had a blast playing the game these past 20+ years, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Can't say I've really made any friends from it, but I still have many good memories with friends I got to play it along with me. I may not do much with pvp, but still enjoy going back to play the campaigns and enjoying the cutscenes and just losing myself in the music.
Halo Wars 2 is so underrated. And not just the Blur cutscenes. The game is just a solid RTS experience that we really don't see very much of these days.
@@TheRealTarieSaunders Yes. Even with the weird ties to the weird stuff of Halo 5, everything from the story, visuals and gameplay are better than Halo Wars 1. Halo Wars 2 completely replaces Halo Wars 1 for me. If I ever have a desire to play Halo Wars, I always go to 2, and not 1.
@CompleteAnimation Now slow down friend, I get what you're saying but the vibes of 2 do not outmatch 1. Wars 1 had better, more dynamic maps, and its less competitive mindset would have helped wars 2, which is too e-sports focused imo.
It’s still more fun to play a random skirmish in 2 though. Feel like I’m playing 1 for the first time each time I go back to it, but that could be my 20 hours in 1 vs 200 in 2 so it’s a biased opinion for sure
@@Anakinskywalker98 Hey, I’m all for it and I’ve read a couple. But to make the flagship product rely on them to make sense drastically reduces the addressable customer base for the flagship product.
This was another really enjoyable deep dive - the way you cover the surrounding media like commercials and fan reception at the time really fills out the picture, and it was great having your gameplay impressions too! Super looking forward to the Star Wars retrospective :)
Don't forget, that req pack trailer also spit in the communities face with the "adults are talking" bit when it came to a completely legitimate concern.
I loved Spartan Ops so much, I wish they kept Spartan Ops going into future games. It was so ahead of its time as a concept. Spartan Thorn became one of my favorite Halo characters very fast. I wish he was in more. Apparently he was intended to be in H5 as a member of Osiris and I wish that was real.
i would have been better if Spartan Thorn was the one task to hunt the master chief and become his successor he always showed interest in the history of the chief and being the best he could be
Pausing at the MCC being broken.. I remember I went into que. I made dinner, ate dinner, showered, did a (couple page) college paper and still was waiting for a match.
Also just to point it out since it came up again, like I did on the last video, the Halo rings do not destroy the Flood, they destroy the Flood's *food* to starve them of Biomass and prevent the formation of a Gravemind. The Flood themselves are just some like... spores, basically. There's really nothing you could do to wipe them out, so you have to essentially cut off their supply lines.
This was quite the ride of a series. So much research, so much info. Even good story info for me as well because I never played past 4 (never got an Xbox One). Before watching through this, I had picked up the MCC in the Steam Sale just this past week, though in the middle of another game so haven’t fully jumped in. This video, though, convinced me to pick up at least the free multiplayer for Infinite and man did I have a blast last night in Firefight (I prefer PvE over PvP). Especially moving around with the grapple and being able to be more precise with the mini zoom that’s like aiming down the sights, a feature I often wondered why it wasn’t really a thing before.
I am not a gamer, and what games I do play are generally what I’m able to get from my switch. However, your videos are so engrossing captivating that I thoroughly enjoyed them. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to make these retrospectives.
I had a blast listening to this series. Halo has meant so much to me, and some of my best memories center around playing Halo and goofing off with my friends. I really hope Halo can find its footing again and enter a new golden age. Also STAR WARS NEXT LET’S GOOOOO
Hunt the truth (season one only) is some of my favourite audio media of all time. I listened to it weekly when the new eps would drop. It was so engrossing and even to this day the soft bell chimes that serve as the series main theme still gives me chills. And the ending still breaks my heart
I watched this whole series and haven’t even played a single game. It was very interesting, and you did a great job 👍. I know you probably only cover series that you love, but could you possibly do a mortal kombat retrospective. I love your videos and would like to see one on a series I love. Keep up the great content!
The fact that Cortana was killed off in a cutscene, OFFSCREEN, while Chief was still asleep is a story crime with very few equals. The fact that they took out such a character that is arguably as well known as the main protagonist himself, off screen in a timeskip, is just... Bad. There's really nothing else to say for it. It's bad.
It's clear they wanted to back out of the hole that Halo 5 had dug, and I get it, but you do much more damage to the story if you just drop all the threads you left hanging. It's pretty embarrassing.
@@Henez89 They dropped the threads they left hanging and then picked up a couple of them and then dropped them and all the new threads after Halo6's campaign was panned.
@@Slywyn they're gonna reboot the reboot soon enough. How exciting haha 5 and 6 were live services, so they could have easily wrapped up the threads in dlc. They might have saved each game's reputation in the process as well, but fuck it. Start over.
Lmao, telling people to chill over anything, even a game, is about as pointless as telling a sports fan to chill because their team is losing and it doesnt really effect them so dont care or have reaction and be perfectly perfect. Youre blowing off the point of contention, which only rises tensions further from both side who have passionate opinions about the direction the thing they love should go.
Thank you for the thorough breakdown… so heartbreaking. Been playing since a I was young. Like they say, “How does it feel to live long enough to see all your favorite franchises go down in flames? Feels good lol
I just wanted to say I have greatly enjoyed this whole series of retrospectives. I love longform video essays and I also really appreciate that you included things beyond the main series of games, such as the ARGs, promotional content, books, and so on.
Gotta be honest… been really enjoying Halo 5 multiplayer lately. I know there’s quite a few complaints about it but I’m having fun on it. This was a fascinating video learning about all this context in between games.
I love this! Thanks for putting this together, it was amazing to relive the story from the first game to the last with all the insights! You got me glued to the screen 😉
I love your stuff... But I hate that you got this out before I finished replaying the series. Lol I'll have to come back to watch this after I finish. Infinite is the only one I haven't played through before and I want to avoid what few spoilers I don't already know
As someone who loves all kinds of Star Wars content regardless of who made them, I wish you good luck on that Star Wars retrospective remake. And also good luck on dealing with the inevitable arrival of those who take the franchise way too seriously for their own good. There is no one who hates Star Wars quite as much as Star Wars fans, after all.
Sf debris did a retrospective on the series from the original through the prequels. But I think he lost a lot of videos so those might not be available.
I absolutely enjoy each and every one of your retrospective videos. I cannot just imagine the time and effort you put into this. Absolutely amazing. On another hand, could the Gears of War saga be an option for a retrospective? It may not be as iconic as Halo games, but GoW had a great run back in the day
A few minor nitpicks: Spartan Ops was only weekly for the back half of the episodes. The first 6 episodes were on the 2nd game disc which was also the Multiplayer disc and iirc they required installing to the hard drive to access, and the back half required downloading from Xbox live meaning players without internet like myself missed out at the time. MCC didn't release at 60fps. That was only added when the FPS Boost program & the free Series X/S upgrades for some Xbox One games was revealed in 2021. MCC CE originally had the same skulls as the 360 version but also had the Pre-Order bonus skull Grunt Funeral built in, and later on received more in an update, including adding Iron to the LASO Playlist because it wasn't in there originally. Halo 2 Anniversary's Terminals were all streamed through the now defunct Halo Channel Xbox app, so playing now shows you nothing as it fails to launch. CE's terminals also got moved over so those are also dead. The Halo 5 setup cutscene doesn't just have the Arbiter either, the other Elite is the Shipmaster from Halo 2 and 3. Halo 2 also got new skulls added, and even got a few bonus skulls that were unlocked for doing certain things, like one that makes Hunters stronger and more aggressive that you got for watching Nightfall on the Halo Channel, which was a premium release that you had to get as a Serial code included with the copy of MCC or buy on the Xbox store iirc. Also just an additional point about Nightfall but the Lekgolo worms aren't just what makes up the hunters, they are also the Scarabs too, hence them both having the green plasma beam weapon.
Craig and his brute rock legacy. Keep on rockin on in the stars angry monkey brother! Love how they put the Craig album next to the skull. Man I would be lying if I said the chief and weapon scenes with Cortana’s narrative on it hit straight in the heartstrings. And about the ten year plan I think a year or two later they ditched that idea completely
I’ve love watching you dissect the timelines of different franchises, I’d really love to see you do the Rocky series, as no one’s even attempted it as far as i can see, and who else but the best
I literally started the Halo series around the time that the first part of these was published, and I'm glad I finished the fight all the way through haha Another great retrospective, Prime. Can't wait for the next one :)
I always loved the Idea of sending a team of Spartan-IV's to capture one of the most elite Spartan-II teams in the UNSC. Like sending a toddler after a demi god.
What a great journey this was. Highs, lows and middle grounds. I never did grow up with halo but I won't deny that it's an awesome series. I dunno if anything halo will be revealed tomorrow but if something does get shown, damn, I wanna hear your thoughts on that! As for next time......from one sci-fi galaxy to another....but not just any galaxy...... it's THE galaxy, one we all grew up with. I dunno how you plan to tackle that given that YT is....well stingy with copyright stuff, but I will be there to see it. A new and improved..... retrospective on a galaxy far, far away.....
The forerunner series is just a mess and tbh I don't really blame 343 because they do have so much incredible talent. I do blame Microsoft and its insane corporate hiring practices. As a project lead I can’t imagine having to retrain a new person every 13-18 months all because Microsoft didn't want to pay benefits. Like bro is a trillion dollar company and bought Activision for nearly $69 billion. And it honestly seems explains why Microsofts products are the way they are.
UPDATE: 343 Industries is gone. A new rebrand was announced with the studio now being aptly titled, Halo Studios. Halo Studios have confirmed they have multiple projects in the works and showed off Project Foundry. A demo featuring classic Halo staples including a new armor for Master Chief inspired by his CE look, all created within Unreal Engine 5. It’s also been long rumored of a Halo: CE Remake that will release on other systems. While I never hated 343 at all, the goodwill that was built from Bungie was definitely dampened when they fell from grace. Now it seems they’re looking to rebuild that trust with the rebrand and new games all within Unreal Engine 5.
Had no clue your star wars video was that disliked, prequel fans and sequel hate combined can be brutal I hope you cover Pirates of the Caribbean one day, seems up your alley
I'm not sure if you brought this up. A good reason why I started Halo Infinite was because it was included with a gamepass ultimate subscription. The accessibility to be able to play halo games with a subscription that I already have is huge.
Eh' after Halo 4 & 5, I never really even bothered to look into Halo Infinite. It looks genuinely amazing, like a true return to form. Hopefully, if they make more Halo content, they will keep that loyalty to visual vibe and gameplay up. Edit: Oh... Joseph Statin left .. probably nvm.
Excellent video series! AS someone who has only played maybe 5 minutes of Halo Wars and (probably) ODST, I found it quite enjoyable! Keep up the good work! (and refrain from political comments if you want to keep those downvotes DOWN 😉)
Been loving these videos. It’s nice to catch up with the franchise. The last game I played in full was Halo 3 and I only played ODST a bit with a friend so this has been real sweet to watch these. But I had to come and comment that I just love love love the “capitalism is making games worse” comment about Microsoft’s revolving door.
Halo "Infinite" is such a perfectly ironic name if you think about it. There seems to be an infinite amount 1h+ videos tearing 343 a new one. Talking with friends about 343 and how they messed up Halo seems to always become a endless converation because of 343's infinite amount of problems.
I've been thinking about it a lot with The Final Shape out now. (which I quite liked also) It wouldn't be anytime soon but I'm definitely down to tackle Destiny 1 & 2 at some point.
i greatly enjoyed this trilogy, amazing work dude keep it up! you just gained a sub, i would love if after you do star wars, you take a look at doing gears or bioshock
I actually really like the Halo 5 story. Some big swings were taken and I get why people don’t like it, but I personally think they struggled with execution and not necessarily the direction or line of thinking.
And after this, the next chapter is called Halo Studios. Changes of engine and a posible halo ce remake. Some things feel good, but still, only time will tell
I think what the biggest problem with 343 is that they're just Too scared to commit to an Idea. They don't really have a trilogy Planned. The bungie Halo games were supposed to be a duology. 3 only exists because their Plan for Halo 2 had to be Split into 2. and ODST and reach were made because Bungie had to earn their freedom. But 343 a studio SPECIFICALLY MADE to Continue Halo Doesn't really have a Plan for a trilogy. Halo 4 Halo 5 AND Halo Infinite Are alll "the beginning" of a story. Halo 4 Beginning the Forerunner arc, Halo 5 is the Beginning of the Cortana Villain arc and now Halo Infinite is the Beginning of the Endless arc(i guess?). it's been over 10 years since 343 took Over halo But for some reason They just can't seem to get past act 1 of the Story. Yet they STILL want us to act like This is their First attempt at bringing Back halo After Bungie and that we should Give them a chance to Prove themselves.
Hmmm… sounds like a certain giant company that bought one of the most popular movie franchises of all time that Prime here has the wrong opinion about…
I mean its not their fault Microsoft wont let them keep the same staff long enough to have to pay them. They kind of *are* a new studio for every new game.
I just wanna say… I’m 34 and have played halo since the original, made so many friends playing the games who I am still friends with to this day. Thank you bungie for creating a world we all revelled in, thank you for the memories. Fellow Spartans! It’s been an honour fighting humanities enemies with you all these years, together we finished the fight.❤

I just wish i could find fellow players to play through the mcc with. I miss the old LAN party days!
@@kmdreacts😊
Im seriously addicted to these 2 hour+ analysis. Its really unbelievable how 343 mismanaged the franchise so much at almost every step
Yep. Over two years later and STILL NO STORY CONTENT
It’s pretty telling that Microsoft named the company developing Halo after the one character that wanted to destroy everything.
Key words; Money laundering
I think they did great
Their best title is Halo Wars 2, and they had almost nothing to do with it 🤣
Probably the nicest I've ever heard anyone speak about Halo 5
Halo Wars 2 is so underrated. And not just the Blur cutscenes. The game is just a solid RTS experience that we really don't see very much of these days.
The biggest complaint for me about HW2 is the campaign is too short
In your opinion Is it better than Halo Wars 1?

just a reminder that xbox named their studio after the character that wanted to kill everything
Wow you ARE the only person who recognized that music copy, I love it.
I’ll never understand why 343 decided that players have to read 3 books and 10 graphic novels in between games for the story to make sense at all.
Money brother
Or just play the games and stop worrying so much about those other things. It's literally just a video game
@@marklachney420What are you talking about? The entire criticism is you can't tell whats going on in the video game without the books.
😅 I was one of those halo nerds that wanted more books
@@Anakinskywalker98 Hey, I’m all for it and I’ve read a couple. But to make the flagship product rely on them to make sense drastically reduces the addressable customer base for the flagship product.

Hopefully, if they make more Halo content, they will keep that loyalty to visual vibe and gameplay up.
Edit: Oh... Joseph Statin left .. probably nvm.
LET'S GOO STAR WARS RETROSPECTIVE PART 2
Excellent video series! AS someone who has only played maybe 5 minutes of Halo Wars and (probably) ODST, I found it quite enjoyable! Keep up the good work! (and refrain from political comments if you want to keep those downvotes DOWN 😉)
That's the same music... Prime... you are the only one that could've caught that.
Fantastic work, sir!
Been loving these videos. It’s nice to catch up with the franchise. The last game I played in full was Halo 3 and I only played ODST a bit with a friend so this has been real sweet to watch these. But I had to come and comment that I just love love love the “capitalism is making games worse” comment about Microsoft’s revolving door.
Capitalism makes everything worse!
Thank you for the great videos!
Halo "Infinite" is such a perfectly ironic name if you think about it.
There seems to be an infinite amount 1h+ videos tearing 343 a new one.
Talking with friends about 343 and how they messed up Halo seems to always become a endless converation because of 343's infinite amount of problems.
Do you know if you will ever make a retrospective on Destiny since its now been 10 years of that univers?
I've been thinking about it a lot with The Final Shape out now. (which I quite liked also)
It wouldn't be anytime soon but I'm definitely down to tackle Destiny 1 & 2 at some point.
@@ThePrimeTheater That would to be great to see one day in your style of videos!
Me: hey Prime theater where ya going
Prime theater: to finish the fight😎
i greatly enjoyed this trilogy, amazing work dude keep it up! you just gained a sub, i would love if after you do star wars, you take a look at doing gears or bioshock
With the engine change, looks like it's confirmed that Halo infinite's ten year plan was abandoned.
Glad you thew RT in at the end!! ❤
I actually really like the Halo 5 story. Some big swings were taken and I get why people don’t like it, but I personally think they struggled with execution and not necessarily the direction or line of thinking.
343 halo is bad fanfic
Humans are Forerunners, always
The comment on the Halo tv series aged well… 😂
1:01:17! HES MY XBOX PROFILE PIC! I thought he was from Halo but I picked him because I thought he was the closest looking thing to a Transformer
And after this, the next chapter is called Halo Studios. Changes of engine and a posible halo ce remake. Some things feel good, but still, only time will tell
Great vid, you deserve more subs
Hunt the truth was so good
Me: has not played a fps since Doom 2 in the 90s
Also me: watches this entire series
That last part concerning the show didn’t age well…
GOD I FUCKING LOVE THESE VIDEOS, ANY TOPIC IM HERE
The great journey ends now...
Hey man the show halo serie is cancelled 😐
I think what the biggest problem with 343 is that they're just Too scared to commit to an Idea. They don't really have a trilogy Planned. The bungie Halo games were supposed to be a duology. 3 only exists because their Plan for Halo 2 had to be Split into 2. and ODST and reach were made because Bungie had to earn their freedom.
But 343 a studio SPECIFICALLY MADE to Continue Halo Doesn't really have a Plan for a trilogy. Halo 4 Halo 5 AND Halo Infinite Are alll "the beginning" of a story. Halo 4 Beginning the Forerunner arc, Halo 5 is the Beginning of the Cortana Villain arc and now Halo Infinite is the Beginning of the Endless arc(i guess?).
it's been over 10 years since 343 took Over halo But for some reason They just can't seem to get past act 1 of the Story. Yet they STILL want us to act like This is their First attempt at bringing Back halo After Bungie and that we should Give them a chance to Prove themselves.
Hmmm… sounds like a certain giant company that bought one of the most popular movie franchises of all time that Prime here has the wrong opinion about…
I mean its not their fault Microsoft wont let them keep the same staff long enough to have to pay them. They kind of *are* a new studio for every new game.
Prime theater you should do fast and furious next
That would be awesome!
@@daveyjones7391Right?!!
Or mortal kombat would be fun to
Yipeeeeee new prime theater video
Nice video
I want a reboot that makes the forerunners human again
I would love a metal gear solid retrospective if you are gonna continue with video game retrospectives
Hunt the truth is my favourite ironic marketing campaign name, considering how much of 5s marketing just did not line up with the product
Basically what you are trying to say is. Itttt'ssss mmmmooorrreeeee aacccceeesssssiiiibbllleeee tttthhhaaaannnn evvvverrr!
Halo more like good video
Why does prime sound like Owen wilson? Dude will just be talking and then all of a sudden I think of lightning McQueen in my head
We must move foward... unto dawn
