Stay tuned!
truly generalkidd leaves no stone unturned when it comes to halo
yeah lol he never misses anything
He always gives us Bits and Pieces of information and lore.
hi computer phone
@@tweedilde8089 oh you.
I can’t imagine that anyone knows more about halo than him.
Ngl I always assumed it was supposed to be ships fighting in orbit
I wonder how many times this has happened to me and i thought the same thing and just brushed it off
And what’s weird is this has never happened to me
@@GBLyrics same first time I hear about it
"hey guys, its generalkidd here! and for a long time, we have seen very low quality images from united states spy planes of ICBM launch sites of the Soviet Union. Now thanks to a little bit of modding, we can fly around a bit and see the low poly models of the soviets....."
I hope he doesn't go 'missing'
UNDERRATED
XD
"A lot of people ask me if it's possible to save everyone in Kennedy's motorcade and I'm here today to tell you that *it is* but first I need to travel back in time to kill Kennedy myself."
This is the same level of can't unsee as the phantom flying backwards in that one h2a cinematic
Why was it even flying backwards in the first place
@@vietnamesenoodle3280
The Phantoms can be seen in some old concept art (which I sadly couldn't find to link here) flying that way: backwards.
The people at Blur probably took inspiration from it and accidentally made a “mistake” that actually ended up implementing an old idea for the ship's flight in that one cutscene.
@@Kiu_8 nah from what I heard I think they were confused of whether the phantom was flying towards or away from the library, and by the time they had finished and rendered it they realised their mistake and just reversed the cutscene hoping not many would notice
What cutscene? I want to see it
@@jeffbezos3501 it’s from halo 2 anniversary on the library mission
Bungie literally could have put these mini maps outside the base to prevent this from happening. Great find
Ikr. Quite clumsy of them to do that.
They could've also just stuck a temporary wall there.
my guess is that it would reduce load times when the player lands at the base
@@BlueHawkPictures17 No, the intro is loaded when the player first selects the map.
@@GoldenGodlyGrunt or put it behind one of the existing walls or the seatrain
Clearly it was Dustin Echoes while he was fighting the Covenant
yep
I used to think Cortana said "It's just us and Echos" and I was confused because I thought she was referring to Echo 419 but I saw it crash. That was until I turned on subtitles a few years later.
Damn this is a call back
@@A_D_H_L I thought she said "Dust and echos" implying nothing was left!
@@skubdude587 I'm pretty sure that's what she actually said
This question has rocked the Halo fanbase for years with fierce and brutal theorising and arguments
I didn’t even notice that until today lol
I wonder if difficulty affects how often this happens. Higher difficulties will shoot more often, but also be more accurate.
Nah I believe as me doing it. It pretty random as I provided the footage you saw there for the plasma bolt flying pass the map. This was in my recorded shots for my full hour of cutscene videos of only halo reach on mcc and only bout like seven of them of full hours I recorded and edited to be under a hour that on my channel on this cutscene did not have the plasma bolt flying in the map shots.
But this one and two other full hour ones on my channel has this plasma bolt flying pass the screen on the map shot. The fun fact is I was recording on all those hour long cutscene movies of reach only was on easy so I can just speed run it to the end.
Idk who fired it but I know exactly where it landed... Kat's skull
With Infinite coming at the end of the year you'll never be out of ideas for your videos.
@@Toddlerterminator lol I get it
Infinite content if you will
The way the cutscene is constructed is actually super interesting.
"Hey guys, generalkidd here. Today, we're going to be finding out who shot JFK. Now, at first I thought we'd fly over to the window that Oswald supposedly shot from, but you can see that it is empty.
"Oh, hold on. Someone's at the door. Let me get this real qui-"
This is the most ridiculous way to possibly make a map scene, and I love that you took the time to find this and show us all.
Holy shit. I had no idea cutscenes were made like that. It seems so makeshift to me. Was there no way of doing it more intuitively?
Its actually a common practice in game development for cutscenes or map overlays. Normally (including in some later levels of reach) these maps are positioned way outside the map play area where nothing can interfere with them. For the most part it is done since in the game engine you have set cameras, normally one is the player (either positioned around the head area for FPS or behind in TPS) and for any cutscenes (either animated 3D ones where they setup some animations and camera placement in an area or 2D map projections which is normally a image on a 2D plane with UI overlays and stuff added over it in layers). Some games IE COD have it as a compressed video file (which has its own issues for PC games).
I actually think that this was probably a pretty quick and intuitive method in comparison!
Using the in-game engine to render cutscenes in real time makes use of the assets you already have and probably enables the team building events within the game to help create the cutscenes under the guidance of a director.
However, if you want to totally pre-render all cutscenes and create them within 3D editing software (like Blur did with H2A) you would need an ENTIRE extra studio and team dedicated wholely to creating JUST cutscenes, because they would then take on more of a "movie making" role and would require experts in that kind of tech, which obviously makes the project a LOT more expensive.
So in fact, I think that placing the map layers just into the world like this is a really creative solution that allows you to mix in-game real time scripted cutscenes with some pre-made map assets without having to switch back and forth from video to game world. This also saves loading times since the map you'll play on is loaded before the cutscene, and I imagine cuts down on "size on disc" by not having to store large video files.
Also it's how we are able to have our spartan in cutscenes
You think that is makeshift?
The Train scene in Fallout 3 was done by having an NPC wear a hat that was modelled as a train, and running really fast because the devs couldn’t be bothered to make a proper train/vehicle system in the game.
Its made this way so you don't get a loading screen after every cut scene, Because it loads level in background.
It also makes lightning similar to in game level.
Edit: Correcting my autocorrect
The mini Jorge on the map: “firing Mac rounds, in atmosphere?”
Who fired plasma bolt?
It was
The covenants!
There, mystery solved
I also got the plasma bolts in this cutscene in a play through of the reach campaign I did with my friends last week.
I didn’t remember seeing it many times before there despite having played the reach campaign many times throughout my life.
Thanks for finally explaining it!
Next up who fired the shot heard around the world
Some of this stuff I did not even know about
"Hey, guys it's General Heed here, how are you guys doing today? For this video we’re going to be answering the question the fans have been asking for years: Who shot first!"
"Now using the free camera near we can see Han did indeed have his finger on the trigger..."
After watching the tip of the spear map video, this is exactly what I expected to happen when I saw the title.
i love how creative they had to get for cutscenes
This is an amazing amount of creativity on the dev's part. Had no idea that the "video" cinematics were actually images layered in 3d space. That is cool as hell.
It was me, Barry...
In my playthrough I saw a wraith shot. I think it's because the map is an actual model and sometimes enemy projectiles fly over it.
It all makes perfect sense when you break down the map scene...Also the air battle would have produced twin plasma bolts fairly close together. If only a marine came ragdoll-ing into the scene instead would have been quite the show..
*In Halo 4* on the map Perdition, on the suspended green tanks there is a (yellow?) symbol that resembles the ones we used to put in as Forerunner codes to unlock the unicorn helmet and other stuff.
In the second Spartan Ops mission, The Challenge, there is yet another of those symbols on the side of some Forerunner bulkhead.
The first instance looked like it could be a part of scenery, but the second is very mysterious. I haven't seen anyone even notice those. There's a topic for a video.
Didn't even know that happens hot dayum
The Lone wolves ending mission cut scene changes according to where you die on the map ever so oftenly. It has a few versions I believe. Idk if you taken note of it.
I always wondered what that was! I actually encountered it nearly every single time I played REACH and that mission! I assumed it was scripted to do that, though I only ever saw the first one fly through, never saw a second one. Since they were supposedly showing this map from a satellite or platform in space way above the complex, I assumed that it was something between that and the atmosphere in orbit with the sun reflecting off it. Never even crossed my mind to think it would be plasma fire! Or that what we were seeing wasn't actually what was being shown! Modern movie magic indeed!
Literally every GeneralKidd video is about random Halo information I had no idea I wanted to know. Thanks for all the videos!
Amazing, after all these years stones are still being turned.
i wonder why Bungie didn't make the cutscene prerendered and chose to show it in-engine
Historically, that was there way of flexing just how advanced their game engine was
I'm 99% sure all of Bungies Halos went for in-engine cutscenes
Fun bit of trivia, the infamous Halo 2 E3 gameplay demo was entirely pre-rendered and is the only time they ever did anything like as far as I'm aware
@@TiddyTwyster yeah, i don't remember where but Martin O'Donnell said they like do in-game cutscenes because they want the player to immerse themselves through the whole game
@@TiddyTwyster Look at the Halo 3 menu background; it's live, in-game animations so I guess a in-game cutscene would allow for better continunity (possibly reduce and/or improve hardware performance) overall but in this specific case, i would of thought having a pre-rendered 2D image would of been easier and better then creating the layered image. Then again, i have next to no idea about how to code games and Bungie created a badass game so i can't complain
Yea, i'm aware of the E3 demo being completely BS, despite them saying it wasn't, and getting people to say it wasn't. But to quote Phillip Price "The Con doesn't work without the Con-fidence"
Man, i do wish 343 would publicly release the Halo 2 E3 demo, just so we could get a idea of just how much we got conned
@@TiddyTwyster H2 E3 demo was in-engine.
@@TiddyTwyster it was in game, they just cut the level or changed it around.
still can't believe the cutscenes are bodged in game camera stuff and not just a prerendered video overlaid onscreen
That would cost more and you would need software dedicated and workers to creating a "movie" to then be put into the game.
Halo Reach Cutscenes are now slowly, but surely turning more into a lie to us by where we thought it was actually at or what was even happening. The more we know. Thank you for your wonderful videos, without them we would have been continuously living the rest of our lives by believing in false/fake assumptions of Halo, and living a lie that cat was actually drawing an actual plan on the dirt.
It was me
is your pfp a frog, corn?
Nu
@@Leminies no it's the legendary cutscenes in halo 4 of chiefs face
yeah its this guy
You make great videos man, keep it up! It’s super cool to see what’s going on behind the scenes in halo games
I found a secret earlier this week...
Dont give my disabled brother the target locator, because he tends to tag me and act like nothing happened.
Seeing the maps load there my brain is just like "thanks, I hate it"
I never would have thought that so much content could be made from a game that's over 10 years old now
I love your vids man :) Huge fan here, I always prioritize your vids
Same here heed's content is always the first thing I watch when I sit down to watch the UA-cam
"Seriously nobody is gonna notice, tell QA that's a won't do"
i used to watch you and now im back and got flashbacks
You should check every map in a selected Halo game, forge and campaign, and see if there are any secrets outside the map boundaries.
I always thought it was a neat little detail they slapped in there like oh yeah, satellite footage should capture some space battle shots, especially if they’re invading a planet.
Im glad to see im not the only one who noticed these shots
That was genuinely fascinating.
When your early and thinking of something to comment
i have literally never had this happen, and had no idea what you were talking about
You could become the main investigator in the Halo universe
Bungie’s Camera tricks every time 😂
sometimes on the final cutscene of lone wolf you are able to see noble 6's face between the two elite's knees.
Next up, the backstory of every marine who was killed on reach
I assumed it was some easter egg, i didnt realize it was just a random blaster bolt flying into frame of the camera looking at the 2d menu screen somewhere in the level (Which btw is generally how all games are set up, where a 2d Menu is somewhere in the scene that is your pause menu/main menu and the game just swaps back and forth between a 2d camera looking at the menu's or the player camera for the 1st person/3rd person pov camera.
So since the enemies memory loads in the game and by chance of a randomly generated npc shots and misses their target the shot will supercede all the way into a cut scene where the camera can see it and many years later it will get noticed by a youtuber. That r impressive
Did Generalkidd ever made a video of the field marshal escape in winter contingency? Was always bug about that, how did Emile let him escape?
Are you talking about the zealot in the cutscene when ambushed? He does say “tango blew past me. Permission to pursue.” Carter says. “Negative four. Stay on the door.” Emile was ordered to let him go.
@@kanden27 yea but I would like to see how? His shields were down and Emile has a shotgun, even it didn’t kill him it could have at least staggered him a bit to slow him down, just doesn’t make sense to me imo
He already made a video on this the zelots litearlly phase throught through the wall once theyre off screen, so does the marine thats held hostage with them.
@@angelgerardobaleriano219 they left Emile to pull rear security while Jorge and 6 pursued.
Lol love your videos man, you talk in a real down to earth way I've always loved
You should get in touch with rocketsloth to see if he would like to include you into any videos
General kid must love those dollar general prices on those halo mega construx
Halo reach had the most perfect campaign it felt so tactical but so halo it felt real honestly
UA-cam captions calls you "Shanno Heet" when you say general heed.... I like Shanno better now
I never knew about these bolts despite me playing sword base a billion times. Wtf
Why do the low poly air vehicles look to cute to me? lmao. They look like little 3D printed toys.
Bungie sure does have a funky way if making things work. Very interesting to be sure.
I love these kinds of videos
I never got that to happen in the 360 version of the game. However, I've know about the placement of the cutscene maps for years now, and when it happened in MCC Reach, I already knew who fired the shot. Neat find, but nothing new to me. Still, good info to have out there for people who didn't know.
It was me. I fired the shot.
I'm sorry, I had Space Taco Bell.
Bruh
lol
I was so sure it would just be a gun just shooting randomly in the background somewhere smh
Thanks for these BTS features. They are great!
I love shit like this, it gives more depth to a game
i thought this video was going to be about the frigate shot that destroyed the corvette at the very end of this mission..
most unrealistic thing about this is how the falcons don't take any shots from the covenant before dropping off six and kat. but if it was me, those falcons would explode before i pass the bridge.
Oh no! Run! It’s the plushie banshees!!!
Honestly, the banshees look like they’re plushies.
I played this game thousands of hours offline, because i had no Internet and i searched for mysterys. But, this guy is a goddamn B. sc. of Haloscience.
What happens when invincible infection form attacks shielded target?
Can they damage vehicle passengers? Scarab core? Other infection forms on opposite team?
Can enemy infection forms infect enemy combat forms? What happens when they do? Do they simply change sides? Last I checked they entered as if it was dead and do not alter combat form at all, but that was if they were same team.
Attempt number 37
Cool! Next do who took the mysterious shit in nightfall
Awesome work
You're nuts and I love it
Whattt I always thought the shot was supposed to be some kinda space battle above the whole planet and it was this 😂😂😂. So interesting
I love this channel
I always thought it was a wraith shot
"Back... and to the left.... back.... and to the left..."
Next week on boundary break we take a closer look at the 22nd...
What a weird ass way to do that cutscene
So goof job !!!
When that happened to me i thought it was a tv glitch and not my game.
i had a plasma pistol shot and the plasma rifle shot happen to go cross it t the same time one day back in 2017
How did I never notice this
This is so cool and interesting thank you for this video!
You have really bad personality disorder. You have so many comments on this dudes page. One day, you're telling him you enjoy hai videos. The next, you make fun of his voice. You ok my dude?
This was actually pretty cool
Omg I thought I was going crazy when I saw this in game
I remember watching your vids as a freshman, and now im graduated
🤡
@@itisfreak crazy right
This video would’ve benefited massively from just a few easy edits and using multiple takes on the voice
What's with that grunt just chilling behind the marines?
Hey guys its generalkidd here and today lets solve another horrfying cryptic unknown halo mystery you never even knew about
Makes me wonder what little things like this haven’t been found yet or if there is some stuff hidden somewhere in some of the maps where the devs were messing around.
Han Solo fired the shot and he fired FIRST
I have always been wondering this
See... Now we're asking the big questions 😃
Ive never seen that in my life
