HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! could you maybe do a review on each troop or like a quick overview and when to use each troop thx keep up the great videos
The one thing I've noticed and haven't heard much is the insane amount of details on the units, things like head-lights, moving parts, units banter, unit's reactions and the environment in general among others. A lot of good work was put into this game.
God I love the new Scarab. If 343i decides to continue to push boss fights in Halo then I hope we get to fight one. Or maybe we could take on a Retriever Sentinal in a Wasp as the Infinity fights a Guardian.
well we know with the ending that the spirit and the banished are probably going to enter into conflict with Cortana. and they are probably going to encounter the infinity as well (with their random jumps and all). we might probably see the banished combat the promethians as well, because what Cortana is trying to do is basicly a new galaxy Wide covenant, and the banished are 100% oposed to that.
ThePastyPrince Perfect is rather 60% old art style, 40% new art style match. This is more like an unfair dispointing 90% old art style, 10% new art style match (not in look but in proportions, because both art styles look good to me).
HW2 is doing exactly what I want Halo do recently with all this art style talk: A proper healthy mix, and I love it. Really digging the animations on the units, let's hope the Banished are going to show up in Halo 6. Though one has to wonder about the lore reasons for the Shroud, Reaver, and Blisterback looks. They're very animalistic in their designs, wonder if they're based off creatures or apex predators on the Brute home world of Doisac? Also I love how the Nightingale looks like it either inspired or was inspired by the Falcon. This game is looking good!
Serban Kline they put the old elite design in the game as you can see, I'm just saying its funny that they didn't bother to include the brutish Halo 4/5 elite design that everyone hates
Some Halo Guy Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The Banished are using a different species, as far as I know from explanations I've heard, of elite than the 4-5 elites. Like the difference between jackals and skirmishers.
Serban Kline I just find it funny given that they used elements of both art styles, like they used both the classic pelican and the new design for the pelican, as well as the classic grunt design and the Halo 4/5 design used for the suicide grunts, as well as using purely the Halo 5 promethean architecture, but they didn't include the new elite design
People have pointed out the lack of the units like Forge's Warthog and some sentinels I think, but no one has pointed out the Wolverine? It wasn't showed.
Mikołaj Stasiak It's so cool to finally see them in-game. They are designed to mine the Ark's ressource moon so they're certainly armed with some kind of laser beam i guess
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! All of the units still look kind of like they're from a cartoon like the units from Halo wars. I thought that 343 would have changed that and made the units look more serious and menacing, especially the banished units.
This game is literally the perfect sequel. It improves upon everything in the first game and is a great return to the classic Halo artstyle. The hype is real for midnight Thursday. I suppose you could say this game is going to be, I C O N I C.
So, unrelated to the units in the game, is it just me or did some of the music playing during this sound similar to bits of the soundtrack for Headhunters?
@@scotchwhisky6094 haha its alright,i mean,everyone has their personal preference,i do love the original aswell,but i just love how aggressive and bulky the banished scarab is,the way it behaves and sounds it just fits the brute's nature so well
One thing that always confused me is why are the Marines looking different and why are there new vehicles if the spirit of fire never reached humanity...was these vehicles in storage and Capt. Cutter not want to use them in halo wars 1 but suddenly he wants to do so now
Is there a way to delete units? Im on the mission where you have to set up the kodiaks in 3 different spots and i have 2 of em set up but the 3rd one got destroyed and i cant make anymore since my population is 100/100
Kaiju Tamer Yes there is, it's a game mode called skirmish. In the skirmish game mode you can select what faction you fight against and you can pick the leader you fight and what difficulty level the computer is set to. That's how it should be unless 343 has changed skirmish mode.
some random person on the internet lol Me to, unfortunately 343 seems to want to erase everything from the Halo universe that was related to bungie. I think HaloFollower or hidden Xperia has even made a video predicting how the Master Chief will die in Halo 6 and it does seem like 343 wants to make spartan Locke the main character.
some random person on the internet lol I don't think they've listened to any of the Halo communities suggestions so I doubt that they'll start listening to Halo fans even if no one likes Spartan Locke becoming the new main character of the Halo franchise.They added micro transactions to a full price game so it seems to me that there main concern is how to keep filling their pockets with money.
Wow, I thought the cool ones in blitz would be in this like the lockdown scorpian tank, bloodfueled locust and that. What's the point of that or is this only because your not allowed to show us them yet or what?
Whats the point of that... This might aswell be halo wars 1.5 we shouldnt be getting the same game with a better balance and only a few changes, honestly I love what they've done but the faction side of it is just plane lazy. EVERYONE near enough whenever you speak to ANYONE who loved halo wars one, I bet they will say it was a good game but lacked content such as units and that, there should be unique troops for each leader, i dont care really about the factions as long as each leader has ALOT of unique units and its not like they dont exist because they do, each leader can have quite a few unique units not just abilities.
so how did the spirit of fire get Jackrabbits, Kodiaks and nightingales while lost in space? oh, and love the retriever, wanted to see what it looked like ever since reading Hunters in The Dark
three things 1: I love the suicide grunts quote. 2: what the grizzly and Kodiak cant lockdown like the blisterback? 3: thanks for making this I needed references for most of these.
I wasn't really interested in this game because I didn't like the first one. Then I found out Creative Assembly was going to make this one and was mildly interested. Then I went to cdkeys a few weeks ago and found it available for preorder for $30 so I just went for it. Not sure if it's still going for that much though.
This might sound strange, but I love the Spartan movement sounds... It's almost like rustling leather. Very satisfying. Reminds me a lot of the vehicle boarding sounds from Halo 2 and 3.
im REALLY happy to have artillery for the UNSC in hw2, but the Kodiak looks so dumb... i wish we had the rhino instead. It doesn't have to be the plasma variant. in fact it would be kinda odd if it was. and i kinda miss the hawk.
The game lacks Jackles...and it is too soon for me to figure out whether that is a good thing or a bad thing...one hand, they were apart of the covenant as hired mercs...but on the other hand, I do really hate them to the core. IDK, something about the third level of halo 2 on legendary where I fought some keeps having me triggered...and I can't remember why.
Halo Fan 76 game studios send popular youtubers/reviews copies of the game early so they can get an early start at reviewing or making content like this to help the hype of the game. The embargo must have been lifted today because lots of videos from other youtubers have been going up.
Let me know your favorite unit! I'm in looooooooooooove with the Banished Scarab, it looks, sounds and behaves in such a cool manner :D
my favorite unit is the kodiak
but how you can play now? I mean the early ac. is on 17th?!
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! I love the Blisterback. The idea of an air unit also being artillery is too awesome for me too handle.
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! You uploaded a video about a flood survival mode , then deleted it . What's up with that .
Shit guy He was probably getting a lot of hate for even suggesting that the flood might come back to Halo so he probably had to take it down.
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! could you maybe do a review on each troop or like a quick overview and when to use each troop thx keep up the great videos
ODSTS are armed with laser pointers. They blind the enemy.
they're very tactical
GET TACTICAL MARINES
The future of military technology
You missed Aggressor Sentinels and Forge's Warthog ;)
Halo Canon and the wolverine
casthelion Oh shit, yeah!
Halo Canon and the lockdown tank .
Shit guy The only tank I know of that locks down is the Kodiak, which is in there. Or did you mean he didn't get the locked-down state?
Halo Canon it's a type of tank (lockdown scorpion) I think it's belongs to that orange AI . I haven't seen any gameplay of it only as a bilz card .
The one thing I've noticed and haven't heard much is the insane amount of details on the units, things like head-lights, moving parts, units banter, unit's reactions and the environment in general among others. A lot of good work was put into this game.
God I love the new Scarab. If 343i decides to continue to push boss fights in Halo then I hope we get to fight one. Or maybe we could take on a Retriever Sentinal in a Wasp as the Infinity fights a Guardian.
OmniRise just think about how cool that would be to fight the banished in halo 6
OmniRise fuck prometheans
well we know with the ending that the spirit and the banished are probably going to enter into conflict with Cortana. and they are probably going to encounter the infinity as well (with their random jumps and all). we might probably see the banished combat the promethians as well, because what Cortana is trying to do is basicly a new galaxy Wide covenant, and the banished are 100% oposed to that.
OmniRise but how do you even get on it to destroy it? it doesn't have a platform on it for unit transport like the ones from the Covenant
why cant the main halo games have this artstyle?? I dont understand
Its the perfect mix between the old and the new
Riahisama Who's saying that they won't from now on?
Riahisama, Because 343 wants to be special compared to the Bungie trilogy.
ThePastyPrince Perfect is rather 60% old art style, 40% new art style match. This is more like an unfair dispointing 90% old art style, 10% new art style match (not in look but in proportions, because both art styles look good to me).
Riahisama because communism
"All Units"
L O C A L U N I T S
SUPPLY PAD UPGRADED
"Local Units"
Base destroyed ! enemy base destroyed ! all units ! local units ! Our spartan has died !
We're not outta this yet, we can still destroy the enemy base~Oh shit, wrong game.
I love the Nightengale's sound design
Timothy Chan reminds me of the classic falcon
I love the mix of old and new art styles but where are the jackals????
Pipp They didn't joined the Banished
Guillaume Tremblay I would think they would join the most honestly
Joey Flores They're probably sick of getting fucked up by Spartans.
Old comment chain but...They almost did. But they tried killing Decimus and Atriox. And The Banished refuse to force anyone into joining.
Joey Flores as soon as the covenant fell most went on to being what they were before. Space pirates
HW2 is doing exactly what I want Halo do recently with all this art style talk: A proper healthy mix, and I love it. Really digging the animations on the units, let's hope the Banished are going to show up in Halo 6.
Though one has to wonder about the lore reasons for the Shroud, Reaver, and Blisterback looks. They're very animalistic in their designs, wonder if they're based off creatures or apex predators on the Brute home world of Doisac? Also I love how the Nightingale looks like it either inspired or was inspired by the Falcon. This game is looking good!
+Corny Grunt It looks fantastic man. I think the Shroud and Blisterback specifically look insectoid, at least to me
Yeah, wonder if Doisac is full of large insectoid predators, though one has to wonder about what the Reaver is based on.
maybe they have lekgolo worms like the scarab does
Could be, Lekgolo worms are use for a lot of things, they're like Duct tape and Elmer's glue to the Covenant and the Banished.
*Mac Rounds Spinning Up, Mac Blast Aborted, Mac Rounds Spinning Up, Mac Blast Aborted, Mac Rounds Spinning Up, Mac Blast Aborted, *
"It's not the horrible death I mind, it's lugging this heavy tank around" Oh grunts never change
Is the scarab dripping fire or plasma?
Sierra 042 Douglas plasma probably
I like how they didn't even bother to put the Halo 4/5 elites in the game
Because they're different factions. Why would the Covenant even be part of the Banished?
Serban Kline they put the old elite design in the game as you can see, I'm just saying its funny that they didn't bother to include the brutish Halo 4/5 elite design that everyone hates
Some Halo Guy Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The Banished are using a different species, as far as I know from explanations I've heard, of elite than the 4-5 elites. Like the difference between jackals and skirmishers.

Some Halo Guy Late, as in very late, but the honor guard is a halo 4/5 elite
People have pointed out the lack of the units like Forge's Warthog and some sentinels I think, but no one has pointed out the Wolverine? It wasn't showed.
That retriever sentinel tho :OOO
Vincent Ellenrieder/ SirHydry The retriver sentinel. It looks pretty badass. But what it goota does
Mikołaj Stasiak
It's so cool to finally see them in-game.
They are designed to mine the Ark's ressource moon so they're certainly armed with some kind of laser beam i guess
This gotta just destroy the scarab
Damn, man! How long did it take you to set all this up? XD
I'm curious, though, were these shots as close as you could get?
Yup, these were as close as you could get them! Took about 6 hours-ish to record and edit them :)
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! Well, you did a damn good job!
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! All of the units still look kind of like they're from a cartoon like the units from Halo wars. I thought that 343 would have changed that and made the units look more serious and menacing, especially the banished units.
+Halo Canon Thanks bro 💚
Hahaha the banished shroud looks like a mass effect “baby” Reaper. Love it
Y do i feel like this isnt all the units
Carter Blinkhorn Because it's not all the units.
was the slow ass spin around each unit fucking necessary
Seriously, I got motion sick, and almost had a heart attack twice from that brute screaming about leader points. ( volume was maxed )
QuantumNova lol
I was hoping to hear some of the unit barks as well but it is cool to get a up closer se look but are the iron clad hunters a blitz only unit?
My two favorites are:
1. Locust
2. Scarab
Hidden do u know if there's a possibility that there's more units coming in the future as dlc?
So glad to see the better graphics and detail
Think you could do a video for all the DLC units? I'd like to have reference for certain units that colony and Kensino have
can you get a condor-gunship in campaign,multiplayer and skirmish
Would have been cooler if you were green for the UNSC.
PackHunter117 You can't change that
PackHunter117 you are in campaign and have a chance at it in 3v3 multiplayer
Love the retriever sentinel, It does feel OP though since it has just over half the pop slots of the condor whilst doing about 75% of the damage
I like the Shroud and Blisterback
Why do most of all the new vehicles for the banished have to have legs even the ones that fly like why do they need those legs for
Landing perhaps?
Yahir Chia look at halo ce concept art and scrapped units.
This game is literally the perfect sequel. It improves upon everything in the first game and is a great return to the classic Halo artstyle. The hype is real for midnight Thursday. I suppose you could say this game is going to be, I C O N I C.
It's funny how the protector sentinel has the original design for sentinels while the retriever sentinel looks like a promethean phaeton.
I hope that some of these units are added as Forge props. I really hope they let us use things like the Locust or Banished Lich.
Just a quick question. In Halo wars when you are Covenant you get to use the leaders. Is this the same in Halo wars 2?
Kassam Ali There is only Artiox's chosen, decimus and warlord
Yes mate. I mean can you use them in game? Like bring them to battle for e.g. arbiter you could use him in game.
Xerpira no hate but change the title. this isn't all the units
are their going to be more robots and more larger sentinals in halo 6 or 7 and will their be any smaller newer stuff from a whole new species.
Wasn't the Kodiak the shuttle from Mass Effect ?
So, unrelated to the units in the game, is it just me or did some of the music playing during this sound similar to bits of the soundtrack for Headhunters?
I guess the wolverine is either missing from this video, it's only available in Blitz, or I'm blind and just missed that part
Do you think the Spartans will die or have something happen to them in halo wars 2. just curious.
You can't deny that halo wars 2 has the coolest and most badass scarab designs
I prefer the original tbh.
@@scotchwhisky6094 haha its alright,i mean,everyone has their personal preference,i do love the original aswell,but i just love how aggressive and bulky the banished scarab is,the way it behaves and sounds it just fits the brute's nature so well
@@axelramirez9074 It's annoying that they didn't just add a covenant faction to halo wars 2.
@@scotchwhisky6094 yeah
How do get the Condor? Is it in the airpad, the main HQ, or do you have to call it down with a leader power?
Emperor Seamus the condor gunship is an ultimate unit that you spawn at the armory
Absolute favourite is Hellbringers just based off their voice and quotes alone
Do a video on the maps in halo wars 2
One thing that always confused me is why are the Marines looking different and why are there new vehicles if the spirit of fire never reached humanity...was these vehicles in storage and Capt. Cutter not want to use them in halo wars 1 but suddenly he wants to do so now
The AI Isabel brought them upto speed with the newer UNSC tech.
nice to see a video with no spoilers 😂😂
It would be cool if the physical game includes a manual with all the units listed with leaders and story details. Almost certainly not though.
Is there a way to delete units? Im on the mission where you have to set up the kodiaks in 3 different spots and i have 2 of em set up but the 3rd one got destroyed and i cant make anymore since my population is 100/100
JTundra just throw some units at a strong enemy defense
Is there player vs cpu in halo wars 2 does anyone know? love this video Hidden was looking for all the units to see what they are.
Kaiju Tamer Yes there is, it's a game mode called skirmish. In the skirmish game mode you can select what faction you fight against and you can pick the leader you fight and what difficulty level the computer is set to. That's how it should be unless 343 has changed skirmish mode.
Talan Mortensen Glas that skirmish is there so can get some training 1st before i jump in online
SiCxNeMeSiS so is the skirmish mode in halo wars 2 like the one in the first halo wars?
Kaiju Tamer It should be the same as the skirmish mode in Halo wars 1 unless 343 has changed something about skirmish mode in Halo wars 2
Talan Mortensen Thanks for letting me know i appreciate it. I loved skirmish mode in the first one it would be dumb if 343 took that mode out
wish there was playable flood.
some random person on the internet lol Me to, unfortunately 343 seems to want to erase everything from the Halo universe that was related to bungie. I think HaloFollower or hidden Xperia has even made a video predicting how the Master Chief will die in Halo 6 and it does seem like 343 wants to make spartan Locke the main character.
i hope after the backlash they will axe him and mabye get a good story along the way

I love the condor, looks cool and simple.
Wow, I thought the cool ones in blitz would be in this like the lockdown scorpian tank, bloodfueled locust and that. What's the point of that or is this only because your not allowed to show us them yet or what?
Exclusive to Bltiz

Swifty / Grizzlybear ITS A SEQUEL FFS! OFC ITS GOING TO BE THE SAME GAME BUT BETTER
Tfw? What is Decimus doing in the field, silent as he's a playable hero, and why is he a cyborg? I'm so confused.
so how did the spirit of fire get Jackrabbits, Kodiaks and nightingales while lost in space? oh, and love the retriever, wanted to see what it looked like ever since reading Hunters in The Dark
Ben Hooper
It just never deployed them during HW1. It'd suck if we didn't get any new units.
they explain the nightangale in the campaign, the others might as well.
RIP Captain Cutter... you're screwed...
three things 1: I love the suicide grunts quote. 2: what the grizzly and Kodiak cant lockdown like the blisterback? 3: thanks for making this I needed references for most of these.
Thormagniss Kodiak can lock down. Grizzly can't and couldn't in HW1 either
ohh yeah that was the rhino sorry >.>
In the first halo wars seeing a scarab fight you is scary
But this one in halo wars 2
Deadpool need to remind me to bring the brown pants
I wasn't really interested in this game because I didn't like the first one. Then I found out Creative Assembly was going to make this one and was mildly interested. Then I went to cdkeys a few weeks ago and found it available for preorder for $30 so I just went for it. Not sure if it's still going for that much though.
This might sound strange, but I love the Spartan movement sounds... It's almost like rustling leather. Very satisfying. Reminds me a lot of the vehicle boarding sounds from Halo 2 and 3.
Also why are the Elite Rangers not wearing EVA suits? Like in Halo 2 and Reach?
PackHunter117 "ranger" could have other meanings for the banished. Just look at the US army rangers, they certainly don't have jetpacks or anything
THE BLISTERBACK HAS A HEAD. AND IT MOVES. I CAN'T UNSEE IT.
This is not all the units. But even if it did include all the units who's to say that they won't add more?
y do the scorpion tanks sway side to side, very minimal but it makes it lose its rugged personality, acts like its nervous :/
well i guess its alright then :)
im REALLY happy to have artillery for the UNSC in hw2, but the Kodiak looks so dumb... i wish we had the rhino instead.
It doesn't have to be the plasma variant. in fact it would be kinda odd if it was. and i kinda miss the hawk.
shiiiiiiit...choppers are back
i hope they cant slide over my infantry:p
I want all of these units to be either drivable or featured into halo 6 ;-;
Shadow Of A Sundered Star no drivable only driveable
The new scorpion looks like a functional tank and a scorpion at the same time! I like it.
A Soviet Tank Strangely, it kind of does.
there are no jackals in the game? did they forget them or is this a lore thing?
Isn't Atriox a unit just like Decisimus?
The game lacks Jackles...and it is too soon for me to figure out whether that is a good thing or a bad thing...one hand, they were apart of the covenant as hired mercs...but on the other hand, I do really hate them to the core. IDK, something about the third level of halo 2 on legendary where I fought some keeps having me triggered...and I can't remember why.
Do u have early access or can I get the game now? I preordered the ultimate edition
MLG Gamez you should be able to get it now
Oni: ohh we could study it and use as a weapon and if swords of sanghelios betray us we will bomb with flood
what mode is he on
Wait, where'd the Spirit of Fire get the new Warthogs?
I think that the marauder is just a better prowler tbh
I could of swore you just uploaded all of Halo wars 2 cutscenes, and its ending.
Why didn't you get closer to the units? It's hard to see the detail...
1337GameDev that’s the farthest you can zoom in, there’s not a lot of detail outside of the cutscenes
The scarab looks SO imposing !!
If Decimus is the Banished's Ultimate Unit, what is the UNSCs?
Nvm its the retriever sentinel
Vincent Silva it’s actually both the retriever and condor gunship
"all units"
LOCAL UNITS
I hope to see these vehicles in halo 6! Especially the vulture, I love that thing!
Why sentinels are UNSC units, if they're forerunner robots?
Timur Pak hacked
@@llamadasinrespuesta4631 they hack Forreruner Sentinels?!, that's awesome!
wait a minute their were no jackals
Master Chief because they didn't joined the banished.
What happened to hawks????
matt mc I hope so
No sparrow hawk, *cancels pre-order*
where is hawk, wolverine and cobra?
Julius Fisher In halo wars 1
So there's just one unit with a Brute Shot?
I bet by the end of halo wars 2 atriox won't be the Gilliam and could join the unsc
I miss the Rhino back from Halo wars 1.
Did you get the game early or something?
Triangle Plays yes he did
firstname lastname ok thanks
I really like the condor strike
Wait wut the how is there sentinel in unsc side is the commander Jerome unit
Ong Nhat Dam it’s an exclusive unit to professor Anders
Can you get Jerome, Douglas, and Alice all in one game?
Recon09100 cutter has jerome,Isabel has alice and anders has douglas so you will need these 3 leaders to get them all in one game
My favourite unit is probobly the Houner guard
This is awesome. Is there anywhere where we can find the hit points or DPS per unit? etc. If anybody knows, much appreciated.
I would assume they would be on the wiki
The grizzly looks amazing
shoulda selected the units to show us their dialogue
How did you get this gameplay?
Halo Fan 76 if u got the ultimate edition you can play the game early
I got it on xbox, I can't play it
Halo Fan 76 game studios send popular youtubers/reviews copies of the game early so they can get an early start at reviewing or making content like this to help the hype of the game. The embargo must have been lifted today because lots of videos from other youtubers have been going up.
Lord Inquisitor ultimate edition came out the 17th and these videos were uploaded on the 15th.
Lord Inquisitor okay? That's irrelevant. The original question was "how did he get this gameplay?"
you better include the receiver sentinel
are there brute chieftain's
Jayden Murphy warlord and decimus
