Realise this is an 8 month old comment but thought I’d add that this ad was directed by Joseph Kosinski who directed Top Gun: Maverick, Tron: Legacy and Oblivion. As well as the equally awesome Gears of War: Mad World trailer back in the day. That’s part of why it’s so awesome
@@fsgajdfgasdfasdf230 yes..Was this supposed to be an insult? Some of us had parents who loved us. If someone immerses themselves in another persons art and has an emotional reaction to it then the artist did a good job. It’s not just “action figures” it’s literal art mixed with childhood nostalgia, it’s not that hard grasp why people get emotional over it. Take your GED and live your life without shitting on someone else.
@@RoTTeNxTaiNt no it wasn’t supposed to be an insult, I was confused by the reaction. Nice for you to snap like a toddler though and challenge my relationship with my parents and my education. People never cease to amaze with ridiculous overreactions on the internet Lmaoo. It’s okay if people don’t understand the trailer, it doesn’t warrant your reaction.
Just turning 30. I can’t describe what it was like to see this trailer during the Super Bowl as a kid and instantly feel an indescribable amount of hype. An absolute masterpiece of a game. Nothing will ever surpass the hype and then subsequent execution of this game. Perfection.
I want to believe that one day halo will pick up after halo 3 and actually continue with a cast that rivals the legacy of SGT Johnson, Keyes and 343 guilty spark. God I fucking wish 343 industries never raped the lore with their shitass dramatic, Star Wars sequal clone bargain bin ahh games
Halo shall be remembered as one of the greatest fps games of gaming history, and shall remain that way until a worthy mind and heart can fully understand the franchise and the Halo way.
Almost 2024.. I’m 30 now, the hard days weigh more than I’d like at times. But we have made it this far. So let’s all go just a little bit longer and finish this fight together. You legends.
Same here brother. 31 now. I absolutely loved playing halo-halo 3 from 12-18 years old at home when Xbox live was just finding its footing. Video games aren’t the same at this age and that nostalgia hits really hard at times.
That's awesome, there's no better feeling than seeing something like this on live television or movie theatre. Too bad I didn't :( Damn really wish I did lol.
I still remembering watching this as a sophomore at my friend's house for a super bowl party. The whole party went silent when Master Chief's helmet was shown. And when he threw down the bubble shield, the whole house erupted and cheered. Oh the nostalgia of when Halo was freakin huge.
@@ChristianMartinez-sp8ve In Halo 2 it is. Halo 3 though is a cakewalk on Legendary aside from maybe Cortana. But even that levels easy enough once you memorize it and develop better tactics for it.
@@madcourier6217 Funny you say that 🤣! The only mission i remember being a complete breeze was Cortana haha. Ignore everything and just keep running! Equipment and grenades are your friend!
@@madcourier6217 legendary is rough bro, even on halo 2. I beat it with a friend, switching back and forth getting pissed, learning tactics. But we beat it.
no shot, seriously??? That director should be running the current tv series then lol. The show should have been a hyper realistic anime in this exact style.
oh without a doubt. Actual writers worked on this one xD May sound weird cos only a min, but its true, just think about well they did framing the opening etc to be something nearly anyone could relate with, and as a simple touchstone to show, ya MC is a badass superhuman, but hes still human.110% more compelling and emotionally effective without some forced romance plot or w/e ish' that show is doing lol
I am always torn between this and Halo CE. Halo 3 had a stronger more balanced multi-player. Halo CE had my favorite campaign. Both games you had to lead your shots instead of instant hit-scan. No other Halo games did this besides these two. I really miss the simplicity and skill it took...and now we have a shitty game with micro-transactions.
If you reflect on one of the marines saying "I think we lost him" it would really sound terrible and depressing knowing that they lost their greatest hope in winning the war.
This is the only commercial trailer I can think of in which the "product not yet rated" (or equivalent) tag actually compliments the tone of the product trailer it's attached to.
I remember replaying halo 2 over and over wanting to finish the fight and waiting so long and when this trailer came out my mind was blown and ready for Halo 3. This clip will always take me back to that moment.
John as a little boy was so hopeful and curious of what was out there in the universe. Then it snaps us back to the reality of what's REALLY out there. Chilling.
Dude the sound of the bubble shield sounds so cool! The only 2 words he says is badass! Him standing with wraith plasma bombs raining down so badass! Everything about this video is so badass!
It’s been nearly 15 years, turning 30 in 6 months…time flies so quickly! H3 was my childhood! I remember watching this ad and being so excited that I ended up having my parents buy me the Halo 3 Edition of the 360 which I still have and boot up every once in a while. One thing that disappointed me was that when the actual release came out, the bubble shield was no longer a personal shield like the ad but a group sized shield. 😅
Those who lived it, will feel this way every time they watch it. It was Halo, it still is Halo. They can’t ever destroy that no matter what they do after it
16 fucking years..... holy shit I feel old as hell. I remember being in high-school when this came out. Me and a buddy played hookie and I went to pick up my pre order of the game with a master chief helmet. One of the funnest days of my life.
Went to the midnight release of this. We were all 16-17 years old.. great times that I wish I could re-experience. This game has aged well considering my friends and I in our thirties still play Halo 3 as it was and is still our favorite one of the series.
This game is literally the ONLY reason I bought a 360. Never owned another game besides this one for it either. IMO this is my favorite game I’ve ever played in my life and if I could go back in time to any period of life just for a video game I would go back to 2007 and relive those glorious days again with the boys. Sigh...
@@Tempest_Streambecause they purposefully got writers who haven't even played or read ANY of the games or books. Halo has such a good story that has loads of material for a good show and the fact they made something so shitty sucks so much.
This is why I came to this video. Voice doesn’t match and they shouldn’t have show what they did in the first ep. That should have been an in game moment for the OG fans
One day, u r 13 years old, fan of halo, and u see this, n u feel so hyped, so goddamn excited about this... and then, u r 17 years older :') This has to be by far one of the best videogames traielrs ever.
I remember seeing this ad during the Super Bowl that year with my dad and almost crapping my pants from the hype. I always envisioned that by "Halo 6" we'd have graphics as good as the CGI in this trailer. Instead, Infinite's models and environment looks like plastic and clay. It's clear Bungie's artstyle was aiming for far more realism than 343 has ever attempted with the latter's shiny and cartoonish look, but the former was simply impeded by technological limitations of the time. Not to mention just the overall quality of Bungie's Halos being astronomically higher than anything we've gotten for the last 11 years out of 343. If only we'd had worthy sequels to Halo 3 that could've lived up to this trailer. I'll never forget the golden days of Halo and the optimism I once had for the future of the franchise, and how 343 demolished that optimism as soon as they took it over...
0:53 was the moment many of wondered about what happened after the Chief jumped into a pack of Brutes In Halo 4 intro cinematic we got the answer right at the moment when Dr. Halsey says: “The records show efficient behavior operating under hazardous situations.”
Man, it’s the small touches that make this trailer so good. Starts with two innocent kids wondering about the beyond. Then cut to a screaming energy shell slamming into a war torn, totally leveled landscape. Chief rises from a knockout hit blocking the light with his hand noticing banshees whizzing by. Calmy slips his helmet on, takes a moment to collect himself and survey his surroundings, spots a rifle, stands up while attaching the rifle to his magnetic back, eyes on the far approaching wraith shells. The line “Not yet” comes right before he slams a bubble shield into the ground and braces for impact, one shell hits, the shield dissipates, chief darts his head upward and forward signaling his charge, Arms pumping to gain inhuman spartan speed, spikes down the pistol with a slight hurdle over it, grabs the rifle off his back shell explodes close, chief slightly parries it while pushing, accelerating even harder reaching top speed. Reaches the edge and initiates a heroic, unflinching leap into the spearhead of an alien platoon, cut to black with the Halo gregorian chant. Just Genius choreography. Does Spartan John 117 justice. Captures the energy of Halo perfectly.
The hype was absolutely insane. The payoff was everything we were hoping for, too. What an experience it was. I'll never forget that time in my life, and this game was a huge part of it.
This trailer is literally perfect. 117 having a child hood flashback during a battle too humanize him yet not enough to take away to how much of a unit he is
This still gives me goosebumps to this day. I remember watching the trailer when I was eating, when this trailer hit I was so hyped that I shouted "YES!!" banged my fist on the table. Great memories.
@@cristianroy21 the girl in the ad is Chief’s childhood friend Emily Bloom. She appears multiple times in Hunt the Truth if I recall correctly, but before that I think she’d only appeared in this ad
Just realized that this is John and his friend Parisa when they were kids!!! Here after listening to the last chapter of Memory Agent😳 Halo lore is so awesome love it!!!
I hate that I will never be able to re-live these moments, I was raised on Halo. I was only a year old when Halo CE was released, and later on I used to 1v1 my dad on it. But since my dad was in the Army, and it was the early 2000s with all the war, he had to leave for over a year. But while he was in Iraq Halo 2 was to be released. Me and my mom bought the special edition with the Metal game case and all, to surprise my Dad when he returned home, and me and my dad played the shit out of it. I miss this so much.
I remember as a kid watching this trailer and asking my uncle the next time I saw him, “Did you see Halo 3 commercial??? When are you getting the game??”
I remember this video coming preinstalled in my 360 along with other trailers back in 08 when the blades dashboard was still a thing. Wish i can go back

I actually can't believe it, everything made today is so bad it can't just be nostalgia

Hell yeah brings back memories
***** it's much worse than that, activision stripped stuff from the game, it wasn't rushed, it was put on the chopping block
***** worst company ever.
***** Microsoft is the only good one at this point
Little did Chief know that he was on Legendary with all skulls on and jumping into battle was the greatest mistake he ever made.
He'd still kick ass.
Hey, sometimes shit works.
"Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."

Yeah we met them alright……
I always thought she said "do you think we're underneath them" thanks for clearing it up

It just had a certain magic to it in the same way the original Star Wars trilogy has
Sion Hughes halo is basically the Star Wars of gaming
Michael Scruggs no halo is a lot more of a realistic foreseeable future than Star Wars
There were a lot of people (myself included) that legit thought the chief would die in 3. Especially after the Believe ads.

16 years later and those nostalgic chills are still there. Feels nice.
always get tears in my eyes watching this
This still gives me goosebumps to this day. I remember watching the trailer when I was eating, when this trailer hit I was so hyped that I shouted "YES!!" banged my fist on the table. Great memories.
I can't believe they reference this in episode one of Hunt The Truth.
Fuzunga i kno awsomeness overload
ikr
What did they say
That means he really did jump in there and easily killed them all o.o (not surprised knowing what they can do in the books)
@@cristianroy21 the girl in the ad is Chief’s childhood friend Emily Bloom. She appears multiple times in Hunt the Truth if I recall correctly, but before that I think she’d only appeared in this ad
I remember this commercial as a young teen. Man the memories with this game. Just the trailer made me cry just now. Fantastic stuff man.
I’m 29 now.
I could see this in my 80s and I'll still get goosebumps 💪😭
This and the Believe campaign shorts are outstanding to this day
When a super bowl commercial of Halo 11 years ago is better than 2024 halo tv show
"Go to the bathroom now!! You are ****ing yourself!!" 0:39
Goated reference
Its 2023 and this trailer's still exciting to watch
17 years and I still got chills
This art style genuinely looks like *Halo 3*
Man, I felt goosebumps, I miss the old halo vibe
Just realized that this is John and his friend Parisa when they were kids!!! Here after listening to the last chapter of Memory Agent😳 Halo lore is so awesome love it!!!
I swear to God man, 2007 was the last GREAT year. The 2000s started to die after 07. 07 was such a vibe
Thanks crowbcat for the memories.
I hate that I will never be able to re-live these moments, I was raised on Halo. I was only a year old when Halo CE was released, and later on I used to 1v1 my dad on it. But since my dad was in the Army, and it was the early 2000s with all the war, he had to leave for over a year. But while he was in Iraq Halo 2 was to be released. Me and my mom bought the special edition with the Metal game case and all, to surprise my Dad when he returned home, and me and my dad played the shit out of it. I miss this so much.
I remember as a kid watching this trailer and asking my uncle the next time I saw him, “Did you see Halo 3 commercial??? When are you getting the game??”
I remember this video coming preinstalled in my 360 along with other trailers back in 08 when the blades dashboard was still a thing. Wish i can go back
Halo 3 had the greatest multiplayer experience online ever.
Remember minding your own business watching the superbowl and then got completely blindsided seeing this commercial for the first time?😂
Goosebumps....goosebumps everywhere
A couple decades later, this still the best 1min trailer ever made
This trailer brings me almost to tears, gaming will never hit this peak ever again.
Still the best video game commercial ever made
