it truly is sad halo was my first game i ever played and was what brought me into gaming today and what else is sad is the MCC multiplayer is basically dead i mean you can still find a match but it takes like forever but man hearing the opening them song to halo man i feel the nostalgia ever damn time.
Ever since I saw this back in the day, I wanted to set up a big Lan with people all over the place. Yeah you had your two or three buddies over but they don't love the game like you did. I need to set something up soon!
Man, no game comes even close to how I felt experience Halo 2. Nothing before and nothing since. I always come back to watch the documentary to simply relive that feeling. The nostalgia is intense.
I know your post is years old but I feel the exact same way as you. I remember getting the old Xbox magazines with little sections on Halo 2 development. Those were the days.
Thor Odinson yeap, Bungie is very different now than what it used to be....and I think Destiny, how it was build and how Bungie has "updated" it since its launch are all the proof you need....and like said Marty got fired, Joseph Staten is gone, Im not even sure how many of these people you used to see constanstly during Halo 2, Halo 3,ODST and Reach "behind the scenes" videos work there anymore...all those faces who became familiar over the years and gave some kind of "face" and "soul" to the company....its a sad thing to see how that has fallen apart. But nothing lasts forever I quess....it was fun while it lasted, Bungie was one of my favorite studios between 2002 (when I first started to follow them) and 2010.
The memories this movie brings back…man. I was in HS when halo 2 launched. I’ll always remember peeling back that orange seal at the top that said “do not sell before 11/9”. Good times. The best of times.
Always get teary when I see the voice actors doing their lines. The prophets and the arbiter especially. That, followed by Marty/Michael piecing together the sound track is nostalgic as fuck.
This video a truly an inspiration to watch. Every time I get in a creative pinch, where I'm stuck on how I want to concept my next big project, I go to this video to remind me of hard it may seem to be, but as long as my passion remains true I can complete it to my vision.
The voice acting gives me goosebumps especially the line with "I shall llight this holy ring release its cleansing flame and burn a path to the divine beyond" the intensity in that line was crazy good
What’s incredible to see with the cut content, especially vehicles and stuff is how much made it into Destiny 1&2. This stuff is just outstanding to watch. It’s so badass
I just keep coming back and rewatching this... It's something about it, gets you pumped and really inspired. Awesome atmosphere in this studio and great people. Really makes you wanna get into game development.
I remember watching this before playing the actual game because my dad was watching the news so we decided to kill time and watch this and maaaan I still come back to this because its entertaining and I can relate to the teams nerd/motivational personalities. The music to me is a HUGE part in creating a masterpiece, just like John Williams did for Star Wars. My opinion of course : ]
I remember this release date well. Got locked out of my apartment. It’s 4am and I’ve just arrived home from my night shift with game in hand after picking it up on my lunch break at midnight. After giving my bro my key so he could make a copy he has forgotten to leave it hidden that night. It’s crazy this aligned with such a night because I always have my key. Not a normal thing at all! Ended up driving over to my brother’s girlfriend’s apartment to wake them up and tell him to give me my damn key, but I needed to get through security gate first! Waiting 15 damn minutes for someone to randomly come open gate so I could piggy-back, which never happened!!! Finally it dawned on me that bro often likes to open his bedroom window a lot during the day so MAYYYBE he leaves it unlocked out of laziness. Drive back and sho nuff! Window is unlocked!!! Crawl in that shit and FINALLY!!! HALO 2!!!
@@heydavedawson oh I played it well into the morning! Finally turned it off around 9am (reluctantly). Had to get some sleep for my next 12 hour shift which was one more day of work leading me into 3 straight days off with nothing to do but play H2. Good times man!
I remember rewatching the Halo 2 E3 trailer/demo sooo many times back in the day in high school. My friend and I would just sit in the Computer Lab during class and rewatch it over and over, hyping ourselves up, lol. We had Halo 1 multilink/LAN parties and everything up to the launch day ;)
I'm still watching this in 2019. Still the best of the halo franchise imo. Thanks to the entirety of the bingie team who sacrificed so much to give us this amazing game. It's not been taken for granted.
I just want to thank the uploader of this video, thanks to you i can relive the glory days if halo 2. Thank you for uploading this piece of art and nostalgia.
The fact that Bungie pulled off these record breaking and amazing titles every couple years with such a small team and massive crunch but then 343 gets the largest budget ever and 6 years and releases an absolute underwhelming snooze fest
@RingSight91 I remember saving a lot of pocket money, doing odd jobs and convincing family to pool at Christmas to help me buy a really basic 5.1 setup. Integrated receiver in the sub, 5 tiny satellites. Was around $280aud then more for a toslink cable and the advanced AV pack. But hey, I was the kid playing Halo in surround
Does anyone else find it jarring how he had to explain how Xbox live works Xbox live seems so natural nowadays it's hard to believe that we had to go to our friends house and play. I remember the days before online gaming when you had to go to your friends house and play multiplayer hell thats what made sleep overs for my generation. A bunch of us bringing a game from our collection and play them sometimes there would be fights and arguments. I miss those days but me and my friends still get together and play together on our PC's it's ashame that the newer generation will never experience that

I remember back when I was young, and I was supposed to get halo 2 for my b-day. Instead he accidentally bought this from ebay. Still a great purchase though.
n3gative1 effect i bought Halo 2 from gamestop and the disk was damaged, so they gave us this disk by accident. They felt bad and then gave us the real one and let us keep the bonus dvd
I don't even want Halo anymore, or Destiny for obvious reasons. I want this team to come back together as much as possible and create a new IP with the passion they had for Halo: CE and Halo 2.
Thank you for posting this. 5 am and my insomnia is in overdrive as well as strong nostalgia. Watching this brings back so many memories of when I got this for Christmas in the fifth grade. Changed my life forever
Back when collectors editions of games were not overpriced and crammed full of garbage. The Halo 2 collector's edition was five bucks more and gave you a steelbook with a bonus disc with this documentary and a few other things. That's it.
With this new update to the mcc, I am watching these old bungie doc's and playing the cut maps and getting to try all of the cut weapons, wildlife, etc! It feels like a dream! I cant believe we got so much cut content! I always dreamed as a kid that I would be able to get my hands on all of this stuff that was never finished and the things we see in the doc's. Amazing time to be alive
if you're an aspiring game developer, always remember the 30 second rule that Jamie talks about, he was the lead game designer and he was doin' it right that's for sure.
Am I wrong in thinking that Halo pretty much blazed the trail for online multiplayer on consoles? (Not for PCs of course). I mean popular online console multiplayer which directly led to what we have today. Not some goofy early experiments that few people used. I can't think of anything before Halo that laid the groundwork for the console online multiplayer experience that we have today. I think it really was Bungie and Xbox Live who get the credit for setting that bar.
I use to own this edition. I still remember buying it in a Target. Seeing it on the shelf was so awesome. I waited outside the store in a mass crowd just for it. Best version of collectors edition still to this day. No debate.
My Mum brought me this DVD plus game when I was 7. Im 24 now and I am just in utter disgrace! Shame on you Bungie!! Fight back, buy the game BACK off 343 and do it the right way.. FINISH THE FIGHT!!!!
@@Reawer quite the opposite, they knew they were fucked once the problem blew up they lost billions. They made sure the xbox one didn't have the same problem lol.
Just saying Halo 3 was no Picasso painting, like the Legendary ending combined with the fact it was supposed to be the last Halo left you wanting more anyway. in fact in a lot of ways Halo 5's storyline was very good, in it's own way. and admit it, fighting in Sanghelios was pretty bloody cool.
Red The Warlock47 i have to agree with you on that to an extent yes halo 5 had one of the worst campaign story lines ever in the entire halo franchise yet i did find some interest in halo 4 i liked it to an extent it was okay and somewhat enjoyable but still it had it's flaws like all the other halo game's do. but unlike it's predecessors it doesn't match up. Bungie in my opinion did a better job at making halo games besides Halo 5 is just all competitive and micro transactions base.
You guys notice why Jason and Marty kept this guy in the back and shut him up. It's so the dumb shit he's added to current halo games wasn't gonna be in Halo 1-Reach.
Just imagine what could have been, if these companies had no due dates or weren't limited with money - i understand the pressure helps the process and limited resourced yield more creativity but - seeing how so much was cut from the game, i just wonder "what if".
Well thats how it usually goes with games and movies, but with games especially... Sadly there isnt limitless time to make these games....Halo 2 was originally (from what Ive heard) supposed to be released in 2003 already, but since Bungie still had the game completely in design board at that time, Microsoft gave them until end of 2004 to finish up the game, and from marketing perspective I understand that perfeclty..... 2004 was HUGE year in gaming (imho its still the biggest and best year of ALL TIME in gaming) and Microsoft simply couldnt afford to have their flagship title delayed any further....from marketing perspective, I can completely understand that. Unfortunately for Bungie it only left them 1,5 years to finish up the game from E3 2003 to the launch in November 2004....VERY short time to get game like that put together, considering where they were at the time with this game according to this documentary. But for sure had Bungie had more time or had they nailed much of the design phase (good designing and planing is job half done is so true) from the very beginning, for sure the game would have been much more polished.... At very least Halo 2 would not have had the cliffhanger ending that it had, so it would have had atleast 1 more level at the end, perhaps more. But thats part of this business.....and all that being said, I still love Halo 2 way more than i did Halo 3, despite the latter being much more polished in its release than Halo 2 was. And I think its exactly because Bungie aimed so high and big with Halo 2 and despite its flaws, it clearly shows.....where Halo 3 imho was much more of "safe play" in many ways. Its still good game, but it just lack that "wow" factor that was there with first two games.
I remember when I was a kid I used to rewatch this all the damn time
Caldor3 me TOO!
same! possibly the greatest game documentary ever
Dude same hahaha I remember saying to mum all the time after watching this "I'm going to make Halo 3"... until 2007 happened hahaha.
Caldor3 same ! Fuck
This nearly made me want to work for Bungie until activision took over
The faces that the people make when they first saw the game in the presentation room are something that you don't see anymore and it's kinda sad :(
it truly is sad halo was my first game i ever played and was what brought me into gaming today and what else is sad is the MCC multiplayer is basically dead i mean you can still find a match but it takes like forever but man hearing the opening them song to halo man i feel the nostalgia ever damn time.
----_-- like seeing your first born child lol
Seeing the old LAN games is really nostalgic.
Ever since I saw this back in the day, I wanted to set up a big Lan with people all over the place. Yeah you had your two or three buddies over but they don't love the game like you did. I need to set something up soon!
Xlink Kai works using LAN games

@@Deluca-PianoSame here. Got my moneys worth with those magazines and the demo discs.
Sadly, Bungie will never be the same again. Firing Marty was the biggest mistake they ever made.
And Joseph Staten is gone too.
Thor Odinson exactly... the music, AND the story... all gone.... no more...
Thor Odinson Joe staten gave these games some of the best cinematics.
Jason Jones still in charge?
InsaneEnergy
Of Bungie? Kinda. There's a Board of Directors now and Jason is a founder but NOT the president of Bungie Studios.
Thor Odinson yeap, Bungie is very different now than what it used to be....and I think Destiny, how it was build and how Bungie has "updated" it since its launch are all the proof you need....and like said Marty got fired, Joseph Staten is gone, Im not even sure how many of these people you used to see constanstly during Halo 2, Halo 3,ODST and Reach "behind the scenes" videos work there anymore...all those faces who became familiar over the years and gave some kind of "face" and "soul" to the company....its a sad thing to see how that has fallen apart.

I’m so glad these documentaries are up on UA-cam. I enjoy them not just as a Halo fan, but an admirer of computer gaming history. So much nostalgia.
yup
Aye, lad.
Back when people actually collaborated on projects and talked to each other about what the fans wanted to see and made it happen.
Call of Duty would like to take moment to thank Halo for being the revolutionary that it was making CoD possible.
What’s incredible to see with the cut content, especially vehicles and stuff is how much made it into Destiny 1&2. This stuff is just outstanding to watch. It’s so badass

I had this same edition... GOAT
Marty is a legend in gaming.
sounds like they needed more time
While true, the game still turned out great. i wouldn't want it any other way.
every game ever made needed more time. They cut back and did a fantastic job anyway. THey would have another chance to put what they wanted in halo 3.
There were a few missions they had to cut. One of which was called: Forerunner Tank. Another was a covenant ship and which introduced who Miranda was
