Blur did an amazing job with the remastered cutscenes. They could’ve just taken the cutscenes scene for scene and improved the graphics a little and called it done, but instead they rebuilt the cutscenes from the ground up and it paid off. Perhaps the best cutscene graphics I’ve ever scene
I agree when i was able to switch from the original to the one blur did you could see the effort and hard work they just put in a cut scene you'd only see for a few seconds and it blew me away when i saw it

***** The story is literally a joke. There's a commentary with Marty and Joseph Staten where they laughed at the whole "Cortana becoming evil" thing since it was so bad. Reach is a whole lot better than Halo 5 to say the least...
Ceb I would prefer them to make competent ports, I don’t care about shifting blame due to some game they’ve never even shown actual footage of. They’ve had several years to iron out problems between console mcc and these pc releases, and they did very little. They’re releasing these one at a time, and they still can’t shove in fixes with that extra time. Halo 1 multiplayer is such a flaming mess I’m convinced it wasn’t actively tested by anyone who ever played the original.
Well, to be fair, it’s only natural to expect people to want to know more about a new character. It’s more the execution of the final product than the build up, know what I mean?
Oh how I miss Joseph Staten from Bungie. Destiny had huge potential with his original story, but Activision tried to manipulate the story to reduce the cost. They scared off the lead writer, lead composer, and ruined a game with limitless potential.
+Dyster too bad that 343 Industries couldn't have hired him to work on Halo... They sure need a strong writer after the fail that was the Halo 5 campaign...

Paw King OH I'm ready for the pvp as well! And the fact that we have the Halo 2 ranking system, i.e. separate ranks in each playlist, makes me all the more excited! :D
@@MondySpartan The sounds were partially updated. They edited certain sounds from the original like the assault rifle's firing noise, they made it beefier. And they added other sounds from 3 + Reach. A couple of original sounds, but most assets (aside from audio too) were just flipped from previous games. I'd blame it on 343 still being a new studio while also making 4, if they'd made CEA after a few years of experience I'm sure it would've been really great.
Lenanee Lee I'm not getting a whole new system to play this and with inferior graphics. Halo 1 and 2 came to PC and many of the Xbone ''exclusives'' have already come to PC. I'll hope this one will too, at some point.
Nobody ever nailed anything as hard as Halo 2 anniversary was nailed. The switching back and forth always blew my mind because i swear the new version was how i saw the game. Graphics of 2 were next LEVEL back then. But man they kept that feel with the new beauty of the game.
I am stunned! It's so unreal haha I never owned halo 2, I was just at my friend's house playing split-screen co-op, so... to really get to play it whenever I want now is amazing!
My father had a uhm dont know what to call it basicly like a Arcade ( Where you pay to play ) .. And on the weekends we played Halo 2 system link for free because we would gather so much and make tournaments.. So many memories
GoG1isPRO Not to reply to a three year old comment or anything, but there was one very similar in my town that pretty much every gamer in town went to. It was 2007 so CoD 4 and Halo 3 were played a shit ton. I wanna go back. ;_;
God remember the modems, the ethernet cables, the TVs dragged to one room...all to just play Halo? This was social gaming before Xbox live, and even through it. I remember playing Halo 2 and 3 with a group of buddies as part of our "Gaming Club" in High School, and everyone scrambled just to have enough TVs. The nostalgia is strong with this one.
For anyone checking this out in 2018 and beyond, Halo MCC has been completely rebuilt and is 100% fixed and Xbox One X Enhanced in 4K/HDR. ODST included. Thank you to 343, Blur Studios, Certain Affinity, Saber Interactive, Microsoft, etc. Better late than never. Halo MCC finally the monument/museum to the history of Halo that it should be.
it just sucks that the momentum got lost due to a non polished end product. imagine how many people would still be playing halo today had they had it ready to go at launch. a lot of people just moved on out of frustration from waiting so long. maybe more people will rejoin again but at this point theres just other things that have grabbed the attention of long time fans. not to mention life has a tendency to make you have to put the controller down lol.
@@musek5048 For sure. But, you can apply that to many games. Of course, it'd be great if it was this the whole time. But, that's just not how the business works. It's always a juggle between the art and the business, and the business usually wins because games cost tens of millions of dollars to make. Specific to Halo MCC, it's much more complicated. It was too ambitious a project, thus doomed to fail in attempt. Four Halo games and four halo engines, every multiplayer map and mode ever all unified on one disc. It's unprecedented in Remaster history. There's a reason there's no other remaster you can compare it to. Because it's insane to have attempted something like this lol. Nonetheless, I understand where you're coming from, and also extremely thankful that they took the time to update/fix it (some of which, they were going to have to do even if it launched perfect, because XBL has fundamentally changed since 2015).
@@CoercedJab It's been one of the top rated games on Steam every month since it launched on the platform. In Gamepass on Xbox and PC, so there's no trouble finding matches in multiplayer.
This is a must watch for any Halo fan! Such an amazing trip down memory lane and a great insight to the future! Also, the sad realization that the Gregorian Chant always sounds better inside your own head haha
Seeing this documentary kind of restores my faith in 343. It's clear they have a lot of love and respect for this series. Yeah, Halo 5 sucked, but I thinl it'll be a good learning experience for them. People have pointed out what they liked and didn't like about Halo 5, and if they listen to the fans and address these issues in future titles it could lead to some very extraordinary games.
Halo 5 is a bit "bad." In geneal. Before you go ahead and start blabbing about, Halo 5 had some holes in its UI, especially the fact that you only see emblems as gamertags. In addition, Halo 5s campaign is TERRIBLE. They hired some guy named Brian Reed to write the story And if you read comic books, I'm pretty sure you know who Brian Reed is. If you dont know who Brian Reed is, he's probably the worst writer you'll ever meet.
Ok, this finally convinced me to get an Xbox One just for the Master Chief Collection. I've been on the fence about it but seeing the love these guys poured into this game, I feel like I have no choice haha
Holy shit O_O I had no fucking idea Halo 2 had so many big names in it. They really did have an all-star cast working on it, this is so amazing, I am so hyped. I didn't really feel it before, I was excited, but not hyped. But it is seriously starting to hit me... really hard.
It made a massive impact on the industry too, if you think about it. Xbox live wouldn't be here if not for Halo, and Xbox as a whole might have died out. Without Halo, FPS wouldn't be the same. The online would be totally different, if even there, and gaming would defiantly not be anywhere near as popular. Praise MS, praise Halo.
This doc has literally gotten me in tears reminiscing about how great my childhood was in due part to Halo,2,3,4,etc. Min 18ish on the excerpt of carrying viciously heavy letter box televisions across the alleys, 100ft of Ethernet cord, hubs , routers multiport greasy food, friends pot drinks OMFG thank you for the blessing that was is and will continue to be, for me.... HALO
I'm a hard person to impress I've always been a huge fan of Halo each game each story captivates my imagination whether it be books games movies graphic novels whatever the Halo universe captured me and I have been very impressed with 343 industries and their dedication to the story not only the games but the entire universe of Halo as a whole . With Halo 4 I was so afraid that like Halo Reach the storyline would be rewritten or changed but 343 industries did not disappoint. So I have to say thank you 343 Industries for working so hard to keep to the entire story.
I do agree with you to an extent, but Halo 4 is pretty low on my list. It tried too much to compete with every other game instead of being Halo, that's why I didn't like it.
I'm not talking about the multiplayer which I agree with you they tried to hard to compete with other games and more complicated the multiplayer than improved it. But the story is what really matters to me. Halo Reach in my opinion really changed how the book halo the fall of reach (if you know that book you know what I'm talking about) tells the story. While halo 4 continued the story it's still stayed true to the storyline like 1 2 & 3 even Halo Wars stayed with the storyline(more or less). so that is what I'm saying that they impressed me with keeping to the story. I'm a sci-fi fan and halo is as sci-fi as you can get.
Blur studios really made an amazing job on the cutscenes. I had no idea they actually re-recorded all the cutscenes in mocap, they felt very true to the original. They completed Bungie's vision of cinematic storytelling in video games, they're so good.
It's so amazing that halo 2 got the best anniversary treatment with the cutscenes. I honestly didn't believe a halo 2 remaster was going to happen but i held so much hope that it would come one day. My favorite campaign
cowbrain6 I remember all the superjumps in halo 2. If you got an overshield and a Rocket launcher, stood on one of those metal shields, and aimed at the very top, it would fling you to the top of almost any building. Was so fun.
There can't be a Halo 3 anniversary lol. There is nothing they can do to make the graphics look better on halo 3 because they already look good enough as is.
Halo one and two are still my favorites...I can play all day...sound track is outstanding...I can dump all my stress on easy play just popping grunts...love it...always will.
The halo and halo 2 games were awesome, and if you can play an area over and then you get hooked on the game. And it's such a good game. A lot of hours in college were spent shooting people in the halo games.
Driving the scorpion on the covenant snowy road while listening to the amazing music is the best gaming feeling I ever had. Played a few times for skulls, lists and achievements but that feeling never wears off. Breath taking music and graphic combination.
It truly brought a tear to my eyes to see people work on a game for the love of the game and for the players sake...not just to make some money, or push agenda. Thanks 343 for this update to nostalgia!!!! Recent PC owner of the MCC
I don't know why but the end credits music makes me want to cry. It just makes me feel all the nostalgia and memories I have about this game and that I will always have. I guess the music just really shows me the love that was put into this game by all the developers and all the fans. So I want to cry because of how much I love this franchise and how the whole Halo lore makes me feel. This franchise is Truly Amazing and Beautiful.
It's interesting to watch a documentary about a game that was fucked up at launch and required multiple updates just to get to work properly before being abandoned for 2-3 years
The guitars riffs and all that licks man brings chills man such an amazing soundtrack, Halo C.E. is my favorite as far as soundtrack but Halo 2 is top notch
2 minutes in and I'm getting emotional. I just want to relive this moment in my life one more time. The friends I had, the fun lan parties. IT just sucks that you can't get those back.
I'm lucky enough to work at the airport here in Seattle and Kiki and Bonnie frequently travel out on the airline I work for, and I check them in. Just getting to talk with them and sharing my love of the franchise and seeing their genuine enthusiasm for Halo is so great-halo is in great hands. Also met Phil Spencer a few times around Gamescom time, and when MS was acquiring Mojang in Sweden, and he's such a cool humble guy, and he knows his games. Excited for the future of Xbox, as well as the franchise. This is great times for Halo and Xbox fans
im not long in the halo scene but i have played every part of it. this almost made me cry because of pure awesomeness and just the whole histroy behind halo. i´m so motivated for it after watching this. i love it
Halo that game that created wonderful memories. The game that created and ended friendships. The fact that you can play the old versions and remastered is perfect! As soon as I played halo:CE when I was about 8 with my friend Naylon because he's the one that got me into halo and I completely loved it. Before that obviously whatever was bought for me I played. Halo 2 & 3 were the glory years for me haha. The halo series has been the best thing to happen to the gaming community IMO. Halo is love, halo is life.

I'm ready for the 2v2 competitive again so my friend and I can do like we did back in 2nd grade. Lol we sucked then, but hopefully we're better now XD!
Paw King
OH I'm ready for the pvp as well! And the fact that we have the Halo 2 ranking system, i.e. separate ranks in each playlist, makes me all the more excited! :D
Quality of cutscenes is out of this world.
They need to re-remake CE more like they did 2. Blur cutscenes, updated sound effects, music, etc.
20th anniversary 2021?
Halo Combat Evolved: Anniversary: Anniversary
The music had already been updated and I believe so does the sounds, all it only needs are the Blur Studio cutscenes.
@@jackcolson4745 sadly no
@@MondySpartan The sounds were partially updated. They edited certain sounds from the original like the assault rifle's firing noise, they made it beefier. And they added other sounds from 3 + Reach. A couple of original sounds, but most assets (aside from audio too) were just flipped from previous games. I'd blame it on 343 still being a new studio while also making 4, if they'd made CEA after a few years of experience I'm sure it would've been really great.
Bring the collection to PC, so many people would pay good money for it.
Not to rustle your buns, but it's not happening any time soon.
Get teh Xbox One if you desire this with good intent. It's well worth it.
Lenanee Lee I'm not getting a whole new system to play this and with inferior graphics. Halo 1 and 2 came to PC and many of the Xbone ''exclusives'' have already come to PC. I'll hope this one will too, at some point.
Ville Nummisalo
Your loss. Have fun waiting three or four years.
Lenanee Lee Year or two at best. And yes I can wait, some of the games are a decade old or more so a year or mode wouldn't make any difference.
Ville Nummisalo
Wutever ye say, bruh.
You actually reacted much better than most people would. Kudos and props.
This is what a remaster is supposed to look like! Now do Halo 3. 🥇
Just need Halo 3: Anniversary next.
I'm not sure I could handle that level of awesomeness. But give it to me anyway!
Nobody ever nailed anything as hard as Halo 2 anniversary was nailed. The switching back and forth always blew my mind because i swear the new version was how i saw the game. Graphics of 2 were next LEVEL back then. But man they kept that feel with the new beauty of the game.
Halo 2 - the best first person shooter in history!
Destiny is starting to take it now but classic halo for sure
+Ganon Gerudo Destiny is alright , but you should feel ashamed about what you just said !
+Ganon Gerudo HELL NO.
Joseph Boulter
me ashamed, Never, sold countless of hours on Halo and Halo 3 and Reach.
@@GanonGerudo Destiny? Nay! What is this heresy of which you speak? No.
Halo was amazing 10 years ago and is still amazing today, 1 week guys!
Its so very close! And with Forge!
I am stunned! It's so unreal haha I never owned halo 2, I was just at my friend's house playing split-screen co-op, so... to really get to play it whenever I want now is amazing!
Yes! Now everybody has the opportunity!
My father had a uhm dont know what to call it basicly like a Arcade ( Where you pay to play ) .. And on the weekends we played Halo 2 system link for free because we would gather so much and make tournaments.. So many memories
GoG1isPRO Not to reply to a three year old comment or anything, but there was one very similar in my town that pretty much every gamer in town went to. It was 2007 so CoD 4 and Halo 3 were played a shit ton. I wanna go back. ;_;
God remember the modems, the ethernet cables, the TVs dragged to one room...all to just play Halo? This was social gaming before Xbox live, and even through it. I remember playing Halo 2 and 3 with a group of buddies as part of our "Gaming Club" in High School, and everyone scrambled just to have enough TVs.
The nostalgia is strong with this one.
Having to drive to a friends house with a huge 32 inch lol
For anyone checking this out in 2018 and beyond, Halo MCC has been completely rebuilt and is 100% fixed and Xbox One X Enhanced in 4K/HDR. ODST included. Thank you to 343, Blur Studios, Certain Affinity, Saber Interactive, Microsoft, etc. Better late than never. Halo MCC finally the monument/museum to the history of Halo that it should be.
it just sucks that the momentum got lost due to a non polished end product. imagine how many people would still be playing halo today had they had it ready to go at launch. a lot of people just moved on out of frustration from waiting so long. maybe more people will rejoin again but at this point theres just other things that have grabbed the attention of long time fans. not to mention life has a tendency to make you have to put the controller down lol.
@@musek5048 For sure. But, you can apply that to many games. Of course, it'd be great if it was this the whole time. But, that's just not how the business works. It's always a juggle between the art and the business, and the business usually wins because games cost tens of millions of dollars to make. Specific to Halo MCC, it's much more complicated. It was too ambitious a project, thus doomed to fail in attempt. Four Halo games and four halo engines, every multiplayer map and mode ever all unified on one disc. It's unprecedented in Remaster history. There's a reason there's no other remaster you can compare it to. Because it's insane to have attempted something like this lol. Nonetheless, I understand where you're coming from, and also extremely thankful that they took the time to update/fix it (some of which, they were going to have to do even if it launched perfect, because XBL has fundamentally changed since 2015).
Too little too late tbfh
It should’ve been a complete revival for the series instead the broken launch had it fall flat on its face lol
@@CoercedJab It's been one of the top rated games on Steam every month since it launched on the platform. In Gamepass on Xbox and PC, so there's no trouble finding matches in multiplayer.
I got shivers down my spine when the choir performed the halo theme
Halo is so good, I watched the credits.
TWICE!
A true Spartan
This is a must watch for any Halo fan! Such an amazing trip down memory lane and a great insight to the future! Also, the sad realization that the Gregorian Chant always sounds better inside your own head haha
22:26 Master Chief's face fully revealed
Seeing this documentary kind of restores my faith in 343. It's clear they have a lot of love and respect for this series. Yeah, Halo 5 sucked, but I thinl it'll be a good learning experience for them. People have pointed out what they liked and didn't like about Halo 5, and if they listen to the fans and address these issues in future titles it could lead to some very extraordinary games.
How did H5 suck? Besides the campaign having only 3 missions as Chief, what sucked about it? I'm curious to hear your opinion.
I'm mostly hearing very bad graphical issues.
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Except Forge ans Custom Games, those two things are awesome
Halo 5 is a bit "bad." In geneal. Before you go ahead and start blabbing about, Halo 5 had some holes in its UI, especially the fact that you only see emblems as gamertags.
In addition, Halo 5s campaign is TERRIBLE. They hired some guy named Brian Reed to write the story
And if you read comic books, I'm pretty sure you know who Brian Reed is.
If you dont know who Brian Reed is, he's probably the worst writer you'll ever meet.
+techguy348
Graphical issues? what? the game looks amazing
This was an imposing documentary, props to you guys for bring back Halo! Watched it on the xbox one the day it came out :)
We at HaloRuns thank you guys at 343 so much for promoting speedrunning in the MCC! We can't wait to see how the community grows because of it :D
Halo is back. 343 is doing it right.
Ok, this finally convinced me to get an Xbox One just for the Master Chief Collection. I've been on the fence about it but seeing the love these guys poured into this game, I feel like I have no choice haha
*laughs in hindsight.*
55:16 that part broke my heart. MCC, having the problems that it had... feels bad
Holy shit O_O I had no fucking idea Halo 2 had so many big names in it. They really did have an all-star cast working on it, this is so amazing, I am so hyped. I didn't really feel it before, I was excited, but not hyped. But it is seriously starting to hit me... really hard.
It made a massive impact on the industry too, if you think about it. Xbox live wouldn't be here if not for Halo, and Xbox as a whole might have died out. Without Halo, FPS wouldn't be the same. The online would be totally different, if even there, and gaming would defiantly not be anywhere near as popular.
Praise MS, praise Halo.
Then u have these COD and Battlefield fanboys... They probably wouldnt exist without halo
Right tho 😂 they could never have a great community like that, more toxic than great if you ask me. COD at least
Halo 2 isn't a game... Halo 2 is THE game !
THE GAME. YES!
Correction, Halo 2 is life.
I just lost the game...
This doc has literally gotten me in tears reminiscing about how great my childhood was in due part to Halo,2,3,4,etc.
Min 18ish on the excerpt of carrying viciously heavy letter box televisions across the alleys,
100ft of Ethernet cord, hubs , routers multiport greasy food, friends pot drinks
OMFG thank you for the blessing that was is and will continue to be, for me....
HALO
Dude I can't focus on work with all these amazing videos on UA-cam!!!!!!
Same here hahaha
I called in sick today and just watched all videos like this
I'm a hard person to impress I've always been a huge fan of Halo each game each story captivates my imagination whether it be books games movies graphic novels whatever the Halo universe captured me and I have been very impressed with 343 industries and their dedication to the story not only the games but the entire universe of Halo as a whole . With Halo 4 I was so afraid that like Halo Reach the storyline would be rewritten or changed but 343 industries did not disappoint. So I have to say thank you 343 Industries for working so hard to keep to the entire story.
I do agree with you to an extent, but Halo 4 is pretty low on my list. It tried too much to compete with every other game instead of being Halo, that's why I didn't like it.
I'm not talking about the multiplayer which I agree with you they tried to hard to compete with other games and more complicated the multiplayer than improved it. But the story is what really matters to me. Halo Reach in my opinion really changed how the book halo the fall of reach (if you know that book you know what I'm talking about) tells the story. While halo 4 continued the story it's still stayed true to the storyline like 1 2 & 3 even Halo Wars stayed with the storyline(more or less). so that is what I'm saying that they impressed me with keeping to the story. I'm a sci-fi fan and halo is as sci-fi as you can get.
Halo 5 and Infinite must have been really disappointing for you
Pleeeeease *343* have the same sort of energy, excitement and dedication when making *Halo Infinite*
53:13 this man is so under appreciated, misha keep on rocking
Those animations were second to none, the entire trilogy eventually needs to look like this.
Halo 2: Anniversaries cutscene cinematics are BY FAR even today. the best in the industry.
Anybody here to feel the nostalgia again?
Blur studios really made an amazing job on the cutscenes. I had no idea they actually re-recorded all the cutscenes in mocap, they felt very true to the original. They completed Bungie's vision of cinematic storytelling in video games, they're so good.
It's so amazing that halo 2 got the best anniversary treatment with the cutscenes. I honestly didn't believe a halo 2 remaster was going to happen but i held so much hope that it would come one day. My favorite campaign
I hope they keep the exploits in Delta Halo that let you get out of the level and scale the mountains in the distance
I flipped out when I first did that. It was amazing!!!
they will, they specifically said that everything is the same, including all your fav glitches :)
i can't wait to exsperinece all these legendary glitches in halo 2 :D
cowbrain6 I remember all the superjumps in halo 2. If you got an overshield and a Rocket launcher, stood on one of those metal shields, and aimed at the very top, it would fling you to the top of almost any building. Was so fun.
cowbrain6
I hope they kept all the super jumps, those were fun to do, even trying to figure out how to do it was fun.
Halo 3 Anniversary please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
noooo anniversary nooo!!! it must be Ultimate Edition so we can get full 1080
Yes please
plzzzz halo 3 remastered halo reach remastered and halo 3 odst remastered
There can't be a Halo 3 anniversary lol. There is nothing they can do to make the graphics look better on halo 3 because they already look good enough as is.
I hope they update the game to remaster halo 3 I don't care if I have to pay 5 buck I want this to happen
LAN parties are one of my fav memories of my childhood.. thank you bungie!!!
Halo one and two are still my favorites...I can play all day...sound track is outstanding...I can dump all my stress on easy play just popping grunts...love it...always will.
There's not enough thanks in the world to give you guys for this. So awesome
I think I'm gonna cry.
Let it out man
Ahhh the memories. Brings tears man weird cuz its only a video game but so many childhood memories. To be honest my favorite memories.
The halo and halo 2 games were awesome, and if you can play an area over and then you get hooked on the game. And it's such a good game. A lot of hours in college were spent shooting people in the halo games.
Keith David voicing Arby always gives me the chills 😍😁😁🤓
more work went into this documentary than the game itself
I don't think so
The halo guitar solos are soooo good man.
I had no idea Misha from Periphery was a composer on this! Such a cool thing to learn at midnight on a Thursday
Keith David, what a great guy!
now i hope they'll bring halo 3 anniversary to the master chief collection :)
blur cinematics, video adaptation of the actual terminals, ...
+Jonathan Bédard I think it should be it's own game
+MAC CANON agreed. They should add the DMR and the brute plasma rifle along the way
+Brick Gamer they wont. they only change the graphics and sounds. but maybe in the multiplayer
+gmd_swegamer You sure? Look at the Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer
Brick Gamer
did u even read my comment?
This was beautiful, but also sad today in 2023.
Driving the scorpion on the covenant snowy road while listening to the amazing music is the best gaming feeling I ever had.
Played a few times for skulls, lists and achievements but that feeling never wears off.
Breath taking music and graphic combination.
It truly brought a tear to my eyes to see people work on a game for the love of the game and for the players sake...not just to make some money, or push agenda. Thanks 343 for this update to nostalgia!!!!
Recent PC owner of the MCC
Well so much for that, damn.
I really, really hope they put in the same amount of love and work into Halo 3 Anniversary, if such a thing ever exists
+Starbite Productions I think it kind of needs to, at this point.
Halo 3 was my first - all we can do is hope
Watching this while playing on my original Xbox. Might be the best game ever made.
I don't know why but the end credits music makes me want to cry. It just makes me feel all the nostalgia and memories I have about this game and that I will always have. I guess the music just really shows me the love that was put into this game by all the developers and all the fans. So I want to cry because of how much I love this franchise and how the whole Halo lore makes me feel. This franchise is Truly Amazing and Beautiful.
I miss bungie
same.....
Imo 343 is not bad either, but Bungie was, hands down, so much better.
Old bungie was lit
It's interesting to watch a documentary about a game that was fucked up at launch and required multiple updates just to get to work properly before being abandoned for 2-3 years
The guitars riffs and all that licks man brings chills man such an amazing soundtrack, Halo C.E. is my favorite as far as soundtrack but Halo 2 is top notch
2 minutes in and I'm getting emotional. I just want to relive this moment in my life one more time. The friends I had, the fun lan parties. IT just sucks that you can't get those back.
Crying 4 times while watching this is... good, isn't it? It is, right? ;~;
Especially hearing "Rue and Woe" remastered playing during the credits made me cry twice, though... heh... TT___TT
stonedemokid11 *pats*
Bryanneo1 Thank you TT___TT
I get teary as well so it's okay
Bryanneo1 ;~;
10:12 If only some other developers thought like that.
I'm lucky enough to work at the airport here in Seattle and Kiki and Bonnie frequently travel out on the airline I work for, and I check them in. Just getting to talk with them and sharing my love of the franchise and seeing their genuine enthusiasm for Halo is so great-halo is in great hands. Also met Phil Spencer a few times around Gamescom time, and when MS was acquiring Mojang in Sweden, and he's such a cool humble guy, and he knows his games. Excited for the future of Xbox, as well as the franchise. This is great times for Halo and Xbox fans
im not long in the halo scene but i have played every part of it. this almost made me cry because of pure awesomeness and just the whole histroy behind halo. i´m so motivated for it after watching this. i love it
Bless the greatest game ever made getting the greatest remaster of all tie.
THIS GETS ME SO EXCITED!
Halo that game that created wonderful memories. The game that created and ended friendships. The fact that you can play the old versions and remastered is perfect! As soon as I played halo:CE when I was about 8 with my friend Naylon because he's the one that got me into halo and I completely loved it. Before that obviously whatever was bought for me I played. Halo 2 & 3 were the glory years for me haha. The halo series has been the best thing to happen to the gaming community IMO. Halo is love, halo is life.
Awesome summary of all the Halo saga story about the past and to this day. Thank you for this video 343 Industries, respect.
Tbh I cried a bit in this documentary lol
Same
+Dark Missilez Exatly 😂
+Doomguy981 Man, what a speech. im still tearing by the way
me 2 xD
+Doomguy981 Well, wait till next year. Why? HALO 3 ANNIVERSARY WILL (or should) COME OUT NEXT YEAR!!!
"it's great with this new character, spartan locke, to have a story that's more complete"
*releases game with half baked plot that we know went through production hell*
The arbiter voice is amazing just love that voice man such an Icon the arbiter along with the Chief
Watching this made me smile. I have enjoyed Halo from the beginning and I probably will never stop.
