i also didn't know that's how district 9 got to be made like 2 or 3 weeks ago while looking at some clips on youtube. and damn straight! it was awesome. That director's movies are cool af
@@OriginalHuman Also the same director, Neill Blomkamp, is the one who directed both. When the Halo Movie's budget failed, he then made District 9 in its place
Yes that was master chief. At the end of halo two he was on that ship with the prophet headed for earth. This short video is essentially a prologue to when he arrives on earth. This takes place right before halo three starts.
Yeah, this one really shows how much the UNSC and its personnel actually value Master Chief. They’re willing to go through all of this just to locate him, to get him back in the fight. “Believe” also shows the reverence with which UNSC troops viewed the Chief.
Yeah, if a puncture or stab wound like that is inflicted and the object is still in the wound, you need to leave it in as it could cause more damage taking it out, until the medic dispenses some biofoam into it after she takes the spike out of the ODST's stomach
@@azurehorizon6097 Isn't that generally considered procedure today even in the ER or first responder training? Don't remove the thing stabbing you until you have someone ready to deal with the resulting hole it punched in you.
@@Crazyasian123456 That is true but we don't have anything like biofoam today, there was a type of glue used during the Vietnam war to patch up wounds but that's the closest we've gotten to something like biofoam
@@Crazyasian123456 you also have to worry about the bleeding that’s gonna start once you take out that object. Technically that thing stuck in is the only thing holding back the pressure of blood vessels and not causing you to bleed out which is why you don’t take out knifes after being stabbed.
@@azurehorizon6097 Yeah that was just superglue (cyanoacrylate). It's what it was developed for. There are some equivalents for gunshot sounds with large cavitation e.g. an open-ended syringe tube full of little foam pills that swell up when engorged with blood, applying pressure inside the wound and stopping bleeding. It's not quite there though.
For a little clarification, that wasn't a needle round from a Needler. It was a spike round from a Brute Spiker. Basically, it's the Brute's version of the Covenant's Needler. Though, except for shooting crystalline shard-like projectiles that detonate shortly after striking a soft target...the Brute Spiker basically just shot red hot metal spikes that impaled their targets.
@@codyorre2370of course, becuase (most) brutes like to inflict Suffering to Human soldiers, Like Bassus from Halo infinite, or Avitus "the Thrallslayer" from Halo wars (which by the way still alive during the events of Halo infinite, BASICALLY survives all the Human-Covenant War and joins the Banished).
Yes the object falling from space was the Master Chief. The scanner detected the Chief's callsign from his armour. "Sierra 117". This mission was for the marines to find where he was going to land at the beginning of Halo 3.
Make sure to react to the Halo 3 "Believe" trailers since while not part of the story like Landfall they still add their own wonderful bits of emotion on the game and Master Chief himself. They all make up 10-20 min if memory serves right and they should also be in one video.
I remember this, Landfall is LEGENDARY, Halo used to have some of the most insane marketing and Landfall is a prime example, how we haven't got a big budget Halo movie yet I have no idea it has everything you could want in Action Sci-fi films.
This wasn't just marketing, this was a screen test for a full movie that was going to be made by fucking PETER JACKSON. The production actually ended up being turned into district 9
This live action video goes to show how things would look if we were really in the Halo universe and how tough the Covenant really were and how the UNSC relied on Chief and the other Spartan II's as they were the toughest fighters humanity had. Even the Spartan III's were all lost on Reach except 1 meaning the UNSC was way outmatched.
Only 2 Spartan-III Squads were known to have died during the Fall of Reach; Noble and an unidentified squad on Tribute, with a total of 17 casualties. There were at least 3 other confirmed Spartan-III squads (Gauntlet, Red, and Echo Teams - confirmed to be Spartan-III's by "Canon Fodder") that fought on Reach and are currently unaccounted for. Assuming 6 people is the standard for Spartan-III squads, the Spartan-III casualties are too low for more than one of them to have died. Most Spartan-II's were gathered on Reach for Operation: RED FLAG, which accounts for so many of them dying on Reach, but the Spartan-III's were not part of that operation and most would still be spread out across UNSC space. Even without accounting for the fact that we never learned how many non-company Spartan-III's there even were, there were almost as many survivors after Reach as Spartan-II's.
@@JsphCrrll 11 year old children with limited field experience being sent on suicide missions against a force at least 10x their size (with air support and several ships) wearing only crappy SPI armour tends to have that effect. There's a reason suicide missions get their name.
@@JsphCrrll only those apart of large companies. There were still a lot of headhunters out there and they survived a lot of engagements. Those apart of Alpha company and a few other were all wiped out in their missions
Bro you can't even imagine how hyped this got us back in the day. The ad campaign for halo 3 and reach was next lvl crazy. I havn't seen video games promoted like this since the halo days
This brings me back. The hype around this game was unreal at the time. Sure, more people might get excited for certain games today as the gaming hobby is bigger and more mainstream than ever, but I still think there was something about the anticipation for Halo 3 that hasn't quite been topped. It felt like a cultural event with all the effort being put into the ads like Believe and these live action ones, tie-in promotions, action figures, stores opening for the launch, launch parties, and the mainstream media coverage. I remember watching the hours long launch special on G4 TV.
That medic is one of the MVPs here. Poor girl running around while being under fire trying to save as many Marines as she can. The scene of that Marine spiked to the wall screaming in pain from the vibration of her saw no doubt forever replaying in her mind.
That round that hit the ODST was from a Brute Spiker. A needler round would have exploded, possibly blowing a hole in the man. This whole thing I think was made in part by WETA workshop in New Zealand. They built that Warthog to be four wheel drive and all wheel steering or even crab walking (drives sideways). Its powered by an Isuzu I4 diesel.
That IS, in fact, the Chief at the end. THis is right before the start of Halo 3; that's him jumping off the Forerunner ship and back into the atmosphere. Those Marines were trying to get a tracking laser on him to track his trajectory.
An excellent short film. I can also definitely recommend the Halo 3 advertising campaigns that aired during the game's launch. They made a bunch of little like, History channel specials from marines about the conflict in a totally narrative style. "If there's a reason we're here... it's because of the Chief."
It’s important to remember, that they’re still human. ODST or Marine, brutes were nuts. Did not take much to kill them, in CQC, the shotguns in the halo universe are so damn big. Primarily, a regular 12 gauge isn’t gonna destroy their armor. Landfall was such a fine example of what the fight really was like for non-Spartans.
The designer of the weapons for district 9, Greg Broadmore, visited our school about 11 years ago. His tell on how everything went down is that Peter Jackson was set to direct the Halo movie and everything was in pre-production. Enter Microsoft 343. They take over the Halo franchise and can the movie at the last second, which is why there is a functional Warthog on tour at some expos. And unfortunately they STILL have the Master Chief outfit locked away at Weta Workshop gathering dust. He politely refused to answer more specific questions.
I like that there weren’t Spartans in this video because if Chief or some other Spartan was to land in for the rescue it would ruin the suspense and worry like “will the marines survive?” and “what are they going to do?”
"They've gotta show this car drifting round a corner" You're a legend Luke. I gotta admit that's what I think when you mention your schoolbus, tho that's probably a bad idea.
I am hoping and praying the TV series captured that same gritty sense of survival. This is easily the best piece of live action Halo content I've seen in my 20 years of being with this series. Child's every damn time I see it!
There's 2 live action Halo Movies, Forward onto Dawn, which is an introductory story for a key character in Halo 4. The other is Halo Nightfall which is a background story for a key character in Halo 5. There's also Fall of Reach and Halo Legends, both animated Halo movies, the former being about Chief's training on Reach, the latter being an anthology movie, with a bunch of short stories set in the Halo universe. There's also the Halo Evolutions Anthology, 4 animated short stories, about 10-15 minutes each, Those could make for good reactions.
Gotta say, over the years, I've seen this many, many times before, both on its own and from other reactions, but this is my absolute favorite reaction that I've seen so far. Great content as usual, keep up the good work.
If you enjoy the Halo live action stuff you should watch some clips from the movie they made for Halo 4 called Forward Unto Dawn. They had some wicked moments in that including some badass moments with the Chief
this was basically the pilot for the Halo Movie, but due to some bean counting, we got District 9 instead. and a lot of the Halo assests have been re worked and popped up in other properties. essentially if they worked with WETA, good chance theres a kit bashed halo item somewhere lol this scene was basically the recovery mission for MC as he re entered atmo, which explains how Johnson was there at the beginning of halo 3
The Halo tv series is coming to Paramount+ and is releasing in 2022 and is supposedly following the storylines of the books, starting with Fall of Reach. It's following John-117 and his original Spartan team, who are seen in Halo 5 and are main characters in the books alongside John.
So basically the shorts were about a group of marines or Drop Troopers risking their lives to aquire Master Chiefs coordinates so a recovery team can reach him (the start of Halo 3)
Dayum.... this takes me back to my freshman year of college bruh. Still better than what Paramount did to such a good story. Thanks for reacting!!! God bless. Your Tongan friend from the US.
They filmed this in the rubbish tip in my city. It's a shame the Halo movie never turned out. I think this trailer series shows Blomkamp would have absolutely killed it.
I'm so excited for H3. It would be really cool if you also watched the other trailers. Especially starry night. That trailer specifically is what gets me up and going every single morning.
There’s a few already . There are two live action movie one with chief in it the other with Locke and then there’s a cgi one about chiefs training when he was a kid
All of the “needles” you saw are actually “Spikes” from the brute spiker you’ve seen before that’ll be introduced in 3. This short film is supposed to take place directly before halo 3 begins
Fun fact, did you know this battle takes place in the Afghan-Pakistani border during the Covenant's invasion of Earth? Not in real life though, in Halo Lore. I doubt they filmed it there.
I love how this trailer campaign every was perfect. This shows that the marines and ODSTs struggled but held their own but need the Spartans to hold off the numbers of the brutes and elites
there is a live action movie! its named "Halo: Forward Unto Dawn" It starts with basic training of some teenager military academy, but they are the first to ever be attacked by the aliens and the top secret spartans are sent into combat. Master Chief himself answers a distress call from the protagonists group and tries to keep them alive until evacuation from the planet.
Fun Fact: Brutes are the most violent race in halo lore so far, they use weapons with sharp blades and have weapons that shot spikes instead of your traditional covenant needle
If i'm not mistaken, the unsc has thousands of factories so they couldn't immediately change their equipment, like the warthog being in service for atleast 300 years.
343 Industries later made 2 live action mini series which are now usually put together to 2 movies. One was as a prep for Halo 4, called Halo 4: Foreward Unto Dawn. The other one was a prep for Halo 5 called Halo: Nightfall There are also a couple live action trailer to Halo: Reach and 4 which are also epic, I'm sure people will recommend these to you when the time comes :)
Explanation: The ODST team was sent in to pick up a guidance package to track Chief's entry so they would be able to know precisely where he was going to land for the start of Halo 3. Presumably the Marines were originally given this task while already on the ground, but they were ambushed and/or cut off, so UNSC dropped a few ODST's from orbit with the primary objective of grabbing the package and gaining a clear line of sight on Chief's vessel so they could track his trajectory and figure out exactly where to find him once he landed, because the Covenant would-and was-right behind them looking for the exact same thing. Had the ODST's failed here, it's possible the Covenant would have found Chief before the UNSC did.
The reason Halo 3's marketing is so good is because most of it's NOT all about the Chief, it's about the other people affected by the war. You should watch the other trailers as well, specifically the ones that are live action interviews with veterans of the battle for Earth. They're just as good as this, but less action-focused.
Honestly everything about the lead up to Halo 3 was a perfect storm of awesomeness, I'm not sure anything has come even close since, the mid 2000's was kind of a golden age. Right now it feels like we're in the midst of another gaming crash, hopefully in a few more years things will reach those legendary heights again
There is a Halo Movie, Forward Unto Dawn that came out in preparation for Halo 4, not everyone likes it, I personally enjoyed it myself, but not everyone does.
He should react to the other Halo 3 promo stuff. Anyone remember what the videos were called that had the veterans telling their stories from their time fighting the covenant?
Hey mate. This isn’t about this particular video, but I just wanted to say a couple of things. First.... keep on being diverse in your videos... I found your channel because I was looking at Astartes reaction videos. 2nd...I think you and the wife traveling is an awesome idea! USA is a huge country and you can really see so much more by driving. I will always remember driving from Washington state to Virginia.... via Southern California.... I was in the Navy then...with my wife and my 2 daughters.... 1 year old and 1 month old...lol....Irish twins....lol. Anyway.... we had made it to Oklahoma and it was apparent that I was super stressed.... we were at a restaurant and the hotel did not have our room ready for us..... I left the restaurant to check on the room as the family finished the meal...when I came back the meal tab had been picked up by another patron. The waitress literally said.... It’s already been taken care of. I hope you and your wife have a great time and a wonderful adventure! I truly love the fact that you are so open with not only your successes, but some of your struggles. I am a retired US Navy Chief. My first job after the military was as a contractor in Afghanistan...... for 4 years ... with the US Marines.... working on CREW systems... Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare jammers. Vehicle and portable man packs. And while I ended up physically fine.... I do have other problems. I was at Camp Bastion/Leatherneck when it was attacked around the time when Prince Harry was there. As far as the Royal Marines... lol... I first ran into them in 1995.... in Jebel Alli..... we were all drinking and a couple of them said a few rude things..... I stood up.... lol... and one of the older Sailors said to me.... pardon my language on this.... lol.... he said.... sit back down.... those are Royal Marines.....”They would rather fight than fuck”! Lol. Cheers mate. Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to let you know that I am wishing the best for you and the wife!
there was a james cameron movie in the works, but that got cancelled. it basically followed the same premise as district 9, in halo a marine wouldve gotten aiien arm powers and wouldve eventuallly culminated in a space battle where he wouldve destroyed covanant ships. but that idea eventaully got closed out.
I highly suggest watching the Halo ODST live action trailer. It is only 3 minutes long, but in the video they portray glimpses into the recruitment, training and combat drop of an ODST.
Please do a video as well of the Halo 3 Believe commercials. The diorama documentary really makes you feel immersed in the universe like everything really happened
The marines didn't get hit with needles,I they were spikes, fortunately for them. Brute spikers fire hot metal blobs that rapidly cool and become spikes, needlers fire purple crystalline projectiles filled with volatile gas. If it was a needle, he would have a big, jagged, gushing hole in his stomach and pieces of the crystal would wedge farther into him and possibly wound the driver too, and the second one who got hit in the arm would likely be missing his hand or it would at least be mangled to the point of no repair.
I FOUND AN OLD ARTICLE ALONG TIME AGO THAT SAID THE ESTIMATED COST TO MAKE HALO INTO A LIVE ACTION MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 400 MILLION DOLLARS. THEY TRIED MAKING HALO INTO A MOVIE BUT THEY RAN INTO A BIG ISSUE BUDGET
One thing you must remember Spartans where extremely rare the UNSC forces primarily did the majority of the fighting without Spartan support whilst MC did save the universe he acted like intended a scalpel taking out the covenant leadership while he did the UNSC forces where literally on their own the majority of the war putting up one hell of a defence one that even some Sangeheli congratulated until the Great Schism when they found themselves in an uneasy truce fighting with the Elites against the Brutes. I recently played through the series and I had forgotten how much Great lore and universe building there was from the weapons especially the UNSC weapons lore there's ALOT to the covenant species and weapons it's so well connected. Little Trivia the Slipspace Drive that allows Humanity to travel through space was designed and created by a Japanese Scientist called Wallace Fujikawa and a British Scientist called Tobias Fleming Shaw they called it Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.
You should watch the other live action Halo trailer like ODST "We are ODST", Reach "Deliver Hope" and Halo 3 Believe campaign trailer. There is a lot of emotion in these trailers and made me feel disappointed that a Halo movie was not made.
Fun fact, the production of this video ended up turning into a movie called “district 9” but was supposed to be a halo live action film
District 9 is a great film!

The back of an ODST's head: Explodes
Luke: Let's watch the instant replay!
Chief hadn't landed yet , that mission was to acquire SIERRA 117'S location since Spartan 4's had yet to be developed
So basically the shorts were about a group of marines or Drop Troopers risking their lives to aquire Master Chiefs coordinates so a recovery team can reach him (the start of Halo 3)
Dayum.... this takes me back to my freshman year of college bruh. Still better than what Paramount did to such a good story. Thanks for reacting!!! God bless.
Your Tongan friend from the US.
They filmed this in the rubbish tip in my city. It's a shame the Halo movie never turned out. I think this trailer series shows Blomkamp would have absolutely killed it.
I'm so excited for H3. It would be really cool if you also watched the other trailers. Especially starry night. That trailer specifically is what gets me up and going every single morning.
that notification saying Siera 117 was master chief itself my dude
"if the halo tv show is anything like this I'll be more than happy"... little does he know :(
There is a halo movie, I believe it’s called forward unto dawn or something, you should react to it, it’s great
There’s a few already . There are two live action movie one with chief in it the other with Locke and then there’s a cgi one about chiefs training when he was a kid
@@hanibalking7841 what was the cgi one called?
@@prodmorningstar Halo: Legends if my memory serves me correct
All of the “needles” you saw are actually “Spikes” from the brute spiker you’ve seen before that’ll be introduced in 3.
This short film is supposed to take place directly before halo 3 begins
Fun fact, did you know this battle takes place in the Afghan-Pakistani border during the Covenant's invasion of Earth? Not in real life though, in Halo Lore. I doubt they filmed it there.
They don't need to show the Chief.
He's not the only hero.
All of them were.
Day 22 of “REACT TO THE ATTACK OF THE DEAD MEN”😭
he hearted almost every comment but not yours, i guess he doesnt want to learn history

HALO: Forward Unto Dawn and Halo:Nightfall are movies you can currently watch on UA-cam
You should check out Halo: the mona lisa.
The two halo live action films that exist right now are forward unto dawn, nightfall, and thats it.
Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is a full-production Movie (1 & 1/2 hours worth) for the Halo Franchise. It's pretty good.
I love how this trailer campaign every was perfect. This shows that the marines and ODSTs struggled but held their own but need the Spartans to hold off the numbers of the brutes and elites
there is a live action movie! its named "Halo: Forward Unto Dawn"
It starts with basic training of some teenager military academy, but they are the first to ever be attacked by the aliens and the top secret spartans are sent into combat. Master Chief himself answers a distress call from the protagonists group and tries to keep them alive until evacuation from the planet.
That thing that many of the soldiers get hit by isn’t from the needles but is from the weapon that many of the brutes used called the Spiker.
Fun Fact: Brutes are the most violent race in halo lore so far, they use weapons with sharp blades and have weapons that shot spikes instead of your traditional covenant needle
Fun Fact: Brutes bomb them self's back to the stone age when they discovered fusion. This was before they join the covenant.
If i'm not mistaken, the unsc has thousands of factories so they couldn't immediately change their equipment, like the warthog being in service for atleast 300 years.
343 Industries later made 2 live action mini series which are now usually put together to 2 movies.
One was as a prep for Halo 4, called Halo 4: Foreward Unto Dawn.
The other one was a prep for Halo 5 called Halo: Nightfall
There are also a couple live action trailer to Halo: Reach and 4 which are also epic, I'm sure people will recommend these to you when the time comes :)
Explanation:
The ODST team was sent in to pick up a guidance package to track Chief's entry so they would be able to know precisely where he was going to land for the start of Halo 3.
Presumably the Marines were originally given this task while already on the ground, but they were ambushed and/or cut off, so UNSC dropped a few ODST's from orbit with the primary objective of grabbing the package and gaining a clear line of sight on Chief's vessel so they could track his trajectory and figure out exactly where to find him once he landed, because the Covenant would-and was-right behind them looking for the exact same thing. Had the ODST's failed here, it's possible the Covenant would have found Chief before the UNSC did.
I haven't seen this in so long. Brings back memories, glad to see you reaction.
Every time I see this it reminds me of just how nasty the brute weapons are. The spiker in particular.
Yea it’s literally shooting near-molten spikes of metal
Lol love the mix and hints toward scenes and sounds from saving private Ryan and Blackhawk down!!
The reason Halo 3's marketing is so good is because most of it's NOT all about the Chief, it's about the other people affected by the war. You should watch the other trailers as well, specifically the ones that are live action interviews with veterans of the battle for Earth. They're just as good as this, but less action-focused.
Honestly everything about the lead up to Halo 3 was a perfect storm of awesomeness, I'm not sure anything has come even close since, the mid 2000's was kind of a golden age.
Right now it feels like we're in the midst of another gaming crash, hopefully in a few more years things will reach those legendary heights again
The Halo live actions trailers are AWESOME
There is a Halo Movie, Forward Unto Dawn that came out in preparation for Halo 4, not everyone likes it, I personally enjoyed it myself, but not everyone does.
He should react to the other Halo 3 promo stuff. Anyone remember what the videos were called that had the veterans telling their stories from their time fighting the covenant?
Hey mate. This isn’t about this particular video, but I just wanted to say a couple of things. First.... keep on being diverse in your videos... I found your channel because I was looking at Astartes reaction videos. 2nd...I think you and the wife traveling is an awesome idea! USA is a huge country and you can really see so much more by driving. I will always remember driving from Washington state to Virginia.... via Southern California.... I was in the Navy then...with my wife and my 2 daughters.... 1 year old and 1 month old...lol....Irish twins....lol. Anyway.... we had made it to Oklahoma and it was apparent that I was super stressed.... we were at a restaurant and the hotel did not have our room ready for us..... I left the restaurant to check on the room as the family finished the meal...when I came back the meal tab had been picked up by another patron. The waitress literally said.... It’s already been taken care of. I hope you and your wife have a great time and a wonderful adventure!
I truly love the fact that you are so open with not only your successes, but some of your struggles. I am a retired US Navy Chief. My first job after the military was as a contractor in Afghanistan...... for 4 years ... with the US Marines.... working on CREW systems... Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare jammers. Vehicle and portable man packs. And while I ended up physically fine.... I do have other problems. I was at Camp Bastion/Leatherneck when it was attacked around the time when Prince Harry was there.
As far as the Royal Marines... lol... I first ran into them in 1995.... in Jebel Alli..... we were all drinking and a couple of them said a few rude things..... I stood up.... lol... and one of the older Sailors said to me.... pardon my language on this.... lol.... he said.... sit back down.... those are Royal Marines.....”They would rather fight than fuck”! Lol. Cheers mate. Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to let you know that I am wishing the best for you and the wife!
I've come back to this short film so many times since it came out, really sick to see your take on it man
Hope you are doing well mate 🤙🏼
The Movie "Forward Untill Dawn" is the connection between Halo 3 and Halo 4 I would highly recommend watching it before starting Halo 4.
Don’t worry it took me years to realize the thing falling from the sky was Chief too.
There is a halo movie called forward unto dawn. Has chief in it too.
Another halo movie out there that you can watch is Halo Forward unto dawn. If you were interested. It’s a live action movie instead of a trailer.
This is what we wanted when halo legends dropped
What the halo show should have been like
This is the moment right before MC lands and Johnson finds him.
Just watching this makes me wish we got a gritty Halo war game. Like plying as a soldier or odst in a war zone.
Cant wait to see you play Halo 3, the best game in the franchise imo.
Sierra is a designation for all spartans, Sierra 117 (chief) Sierra 259, Sierra 104 etc
there was a james cameron movie in the works, but that got cancelled. it basically followed the same premise as district 9, in halo a marine wouldve gotten aiien arm powers and wouldve eventuallly culminated in a space battle where he wouldve destroyed covanant ships. but that idea eventaully got closed out.
I highly suggest watching the Halo ODST live action trailer. It is only 3 minutes long, but in the video they portray glimpses into the recruitment, training and combat drop of an ODST.
There is a halo movie called "forward unto dawn" it sort of builds background for halo 4 but I think its set before all of the games
@Alex when is it set because lasky is very young and it can't be after 3 ?
Please do a video as well of the Halo 3 Believe commercials. The diorama documentary really makes you feel immersed in the universe like everything really happened
The marines didn't get hit with needles,I they were spikes, fortunately for them. Brute spikers fire hot metal blobs that rapidly cool and become spikes, needlers fire purple crystalline projectiles filled with volatile gas. If it was a needle, he would have a big, jagged, gushing hole in his stomach and pieces of the crystal would wedge farther into him and possibly wound the driver too, and the second one who got hit in the arm would likely be missing his hand or it would at least be mangled to the point of no repair.
I FOUND AN OLD ARTICLE ALONG TIME AGO THAT SAID THE ESTIMATED COST TO MAKE HALO INTO A LIVE ACTION MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 400 MILLION DOLLARS. THEY TRIED MAKING HALO INTO A MOVIE BUT THEY RAN INTO A BIG ISSUE BUDGET
One thing you must remember Spartans where extremely rare the UNSC forces primarily did the majority of the fighting without Spartan support whilst MC did save the universe he acted like intended a scalpel taking out the covenant leadership while he did the UNSC forces where literally on their own the majority of the war putting up one hell of a defence one that even some Sangeheli congratulated until the Great Schism when they found themselves in an uneasy truce fighting with the Elites against the Brutes.
I recently played through the series and I had forgotten how much Great lore and universe building there was from the weapons especially the UNSC weapons lore there's ALOT to the covenant species and weapons it's so well connected.
Little Trivia the Slipspace Drive that allows Humanity to travel through space was designed and created by a Japanese Scientist called Wallace Fujikawa and a British Scientist called Tobias Fleming Shaw they called it Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.
I remember watching LF as a kid with fake titles like "halo movie leaked scenes" and believing that was a real leaked scene... good old days.
You should watch the other live action Halo trailer like ODST "We are ODST", Reach "Deliver Hope" and Halo 3 Believe campaign trailer. There is a lot of emotion in these trailers and made me feel disappointed that a Halo movie was not made.
Don’t worry if halo gets very very very popular maybe one day a movie will be made
the best halo live action material ever made!
Can you watch Deliver Hope also? It’s really good and they made an actual elite costume for the trailer
