Halo 2: Retrospective and Review

- I was originally going to release this video around November 9th and it was much shorter. But, what can I say? I love Halo 2 and it deserves the best. In this video I look back on the game that started it all for me, specifically the campaign and how it's story is still one of my all-time favourites ever in gaming, the influences that might've sparked it's creation and the massive impact it's had over a decade since it released. Nostalgia is inbound.
Also, chuck me a follow on Twitter! You wouldn't... You're way scared @LaperLarden.

That ending genuinely had me tearing up a little bit. Felt like Matthew McConaughey in that Interstellar meme where he's watching the monitor.
Halo 2 was legendary, the best campaign in gaming history imo. This was a TRUE sequel.
Seeing "Halo 2," "legendary," and "campaign" next to each other activated my fight or flight response.
@@MadmanEpic Damn jackal snipers
I personally prefer the levels in Halo 2 but I think Halo 3 was the better story campaign. Halo 2 is fantastic and just an amazing game for it's time. Best multiplayer Halo ever had.
@@richhahl1340halo 3's story was awful
@@ashyoshicharizard3949 it wasn't awful, cuz it tied the main plot points neatly, but it was lacking compared to Halo 2.
Halo 3 next?
With the sunsetting of the 360 game servers, absolutely. Halo 3 is gonna need a big send-off.
@@LaperLarden Appreciate your work ethic, I still haven't got my Infinite review out yet
@@ShreddedNerd and the Nerd Army is pissed.
Halo 2 was where the Halo franchise went from being a self-contained sci-fi game to being an epic to rival that of Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. The universe in general is expanded so much upon in Halo 2, with massive factions that backstab and fight each other over ancient superweapons for the literal fate of the universe, with our main protagonists at the center of it all going through their own personal stories of questioning and redemption. The only other game that really come close to the same vibe of literally playing an epic is maybe Half Life 2 considering Anti-Citizen One and onward.
I could play Halo 2 till the end of time. I don't think I can love and enjoy a game quite like I did enjoy Halo 2 anymore just hearing the soundtrack is enough to get me tearing up.
Halo 2 is definitely the game that made 12 year old me realize video games could be so much more than just a game. I was so happy to finally convince my mom to get an ‘M’ game. But soon after I got very sick and missed the next 7 months of middle school. It was a painful experience, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and day to day life was genuinely traumatizing. This was early 2005, so there was no UA-cam, no streaming shows, and reading hurt my eyes at that time, as did basically any real source of light. Basically, I had very little to look forward to when I woke up in the morning and a lot to dread. The short time I could play Halo 2 in my darkened living room each day meant the world to me, for most the same reasons as you described so well. I could play it then talk about the characters with my family because it was a real story not some BS campaign so many shooters throw together. When my friends would visit after school, we’d play multiplayer. I was a screenlooker, admittedly, but I was going through hell so I sometimes got away with it. And the music… This comment would be an essay if I fully explained how much Marty’s music means to me to this day. Halo 2 is far and away the most nostalgic I could ever be for any piece of media and I couldn’t be happier to have such strong memories about such an amazing game.
Been playing Halo since 2001; I'm an OG fan. Halo 2 is still the greatest in the series for me. I think Halo 2 is still the golden standard in shooter campaigns and can even make the argument that it's the golden standard of storytelling for all gaming genres. It really became the Star Wars of the gaming space and changed the way the public viewed gaming back in the day. It's impact was that strong. I'm fanboying but idgaf lol the GOAT for me.
1:09 wow gives me chills that he predicted the future so well
Halo 2 was what brought me into the franchise as well. I'd sneak out of my room to watch my dad and his friend play it, and when they found out i was watching them play, dad did something extremely cool. Instead of punishing me, i found a brand new xbox loaded up with a copy of Halo 2 on christmas morning a month later
It was incredible
Ive been a huge fan of halo since, and Halo 2 holds a really big, special place in my heart
Wholesome
Your dad sounds cool, bruh! It's always nice to have a dad like that.
during my first playthrough as a kid, I remember hating going back to the Arbiter - I just wanted to play as the Chief, gosh darnit!
but as time went on and my brother and I completed our 2nd, our 3rd, our 4th playthroughs, the Arbiter's storyline started appealing more & more to the point where I'm almost as-attached to his character as I am to Chief's.
(that... and I was the younger brother lmao)
I was instantly attached to arby and have never really been so to MC. Arby has always been my boy
WOOLIE?!
You deserve more subscribers this production quality is incredible
Thanks man!
That last minute or so is fantastic. Using sacred icon suit 2 so perfectly.
"It's like apostcard...
*Dear sarge, kickin' ass in outer space, wish you were here* "
I have odd feelings when it comes to Halo 2. They are my earliest memories of experiencing Halo, but they're also linked to a great tragedy in my life. My earlier, most vivid memories were of the Malta being destroyed. As a kid, it was so dark and terrifying, I felt helpless in the face of such death. It was chilling, it was technically amazing. I never owned an Xbox, it was only until I was old enough to be able to save at least little bit of money at the age of 13 that I managed to buy and Xbox 360 and finally owned a halo game (Halo 3).
So I only got to play Halo 2 at a friend's house, his name was Quincy. I had abusive parents, he was an orphan(he was raised by his grandmother, his parents died as junkies). We were both troubled kids and were sent to a special school for the violent, out of control kids. But we were close and I would come over once in a while to hang out and play video games, most notably Halo 2. I never finished it at his place though, it would be years later (after the release of Halo 3) that I finally finished Halo 2. As we grew older, we went our seperate ways and lost contact with each other. It would be years later when I was 18, that I would learn that he died.
When I was told by a person I met by chance in the subway (we went to the same school for troubled children), he had been dead for a year and a half. I had decided at a certain point that I wanted more out of life than just violence and anger and I tried to make something of myself (I was one of two out of 22 children that was allowed to go to a "normal" school after surviving that one. 31 years old now, failed miserably) but he fell into the world of drugs and gang bullshit. He got shot at the age of sixteen with two bullets in the neck and apparently his last words were: "I got shot? Is it real?" That shook my life. Taught me death and how close it really is. Taught me reality. Taught me truth. Tore me down a spiral of depression where I debated the utility of empathy.
I am a father now (sadly, still an alcoholic since the age of 22) and have a wife and we recently played Halo 2 on my PC through Nucleus COOP but playing Halo 2 brings back the memories. Memories of Quincy and the tragedy of his life. I'm honestly tearing up as I write this. But thankfully, I can still enjoy Halo 2 and I can't wait to have my son witness the destruction of the Malta, as fucked up as that sounds, determined to make sure he never gets lost as we did. Also, I'm dutch and this all happened in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
That outro montage was so damn good it almost brought a tear to my eye. You've somehow expressed all the hype and childhood nostalgia I have towards this game but couldn't put into words.
This was a different take on halo 2 I have never heard before. And trust me ive heard them all 😅 always learning something about halo 2 🙏 great job !!
When Arbiter confronts Tartarus, he doesn’t hate him for what’s he did to him or his people. Arbiter understood that Tartarus and the Brutes were just a tool for the prophets just as much as he and the elites were.
Your description of playing halo 2 for the first time is an exact mirror of my experience of halo 3. What a magical series
Actually your whole analysis is eerily similar to my experience
I bought a Limited Edition copy of Halo 2 last month even though the steel case was rusted to all hell. I may have missed the releases of the original trilogy by months and sometimes years but that won’t stop me from collecting these masterpieces.
I've been trying to find a steel book in decent shape for ages. Same as one of the original clear green Halo themed Xbox's. Really want to get as close as I can to the good old days.
@@LaperLarden I'm sure there are a few ones floating around on ebay or your local thrift stores. It's also incredibly rare to find copies of old Halo games that come with unclaimed promo codes. Those are pretty much worthless now, but still very cool to have.
Bought an almost perfect condition one a few years ago, but my dad threw all my stuff outside while I was at my friend's once.
Dude you earn my subscription, what an excellent review
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
So glad Marty shouted out your content. Glad to be a part of this great journey exploring the Halo series :')
Halo 2 is my favourite video game of all time. Nothing has beaten it and I can't see another video game doing so ever.
This was the empire strikes back of gaming this to me is the best game sequel at the very minimum the best shooter sequel of all time.
This game reminds me of living on a dairy farm, working my ass off and thinking about halo the whole time.
I had internet so it was all campaign all the time. And I FUCKING LOVED EVERY MINITE OF IT.
13:30
-He even lost his name… Thel Vadamee
-And the respect of his former soldiers like the SpecOps Commander. When he said: “These are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not”
Halo 2 was my first FPS, but I think I fell in love with it because it's also an amazing sci-fi piece. It reminded me a lot of Stargate SG-1, my favorite show that I also started watching around the same time.
I never had Xbox Live so I never played the PvP, but played the campaign again and again in coop with my cousin.
Look at you. Giving me more reasons to infinitely love this series even more. New sub.
Edit: I’m holding back tears man. Good shit.
My new favorite Halo channel. ShreddedNerd needs to step up his game. You've secured my viewership for every video you put out.
Ilove the factthat Lapen Luder get's the whole retrospect of each halo games, and describes all about what did and didn't work within Halo games, and yes Halo CE, 2 and 3 are collossal achievements within Gaming History.
I still can't fathom how legendary halo was and is on its release, I'm sad what happened to bungie after Reach and it won't be the same as it was in the past.
This will be the game i will remember till the day I die.
My favorite game of all time and staring my favorite character of all time with probably my favorite vvideo game music of all time.
Halo 2…. Is amazing
Outstanding video! Halo 2 is my favorite game of all time; I remember seeing the advertisements and hype for it everywhere, and was super excited despite being pretty young (I would play CE with my dad as a kid). I still play it regularly and absolutely adore it, and this video brought back some nostalgia and put into words many of my feelings about it. Also, that ending was excellent!
That montage at the end killed me. You captured it perfectly. Loved the video.
I could really write a whole paragraph on why I love this video and how I love Halo 2 but I have a lot of Halo games to replay before Infinite so I'll make it short. Everything about Halo 2 is perfect. The fun gameplay, the absolutely golden sci fi universe and deep lore and story, the absolute banger soundtrack, and of course the better-than-blockbuster Anniversary cutscenes. Halo 2 is, and always will be, at least to me, the best game of all time. Great video
Can you imagine how well timed this video was! I just finished playing halo 2 and then I stumbled upon this video!
Halo 2 has always for me is the forgotten middle child of the first 3 halo games.
I grew up with Halo 2. I originally wanted the first game for my birthday, hearing how good it was but completely missing out on the sequel releasing. While I may never had experienced the revelation on what the halo rings actually did, the horror of encountering the Flood for the first time in 343 Guilty Spark, or even the heart pounding escape in the final mission, Halo 2 cemented itself as my favorite game in the series of all time, hell cementing the series as my all time favorite in gaming.
3:40
I just got chills from that damn intro song.
What a way to start a game, didnt even make it to the title screen and I'm ready and willing to jump feet first into hell.
Thank you for providing a great retrospective on a classic like Halo 2!
During my childhood, I got this game with my Crystal limited edition original Xbox back in late 2004. Had an absolute blast playing this game. I never got to experience the online component of this game, only played coop/local multi with friends when they came over, so I played this game's single-player a lot.
I have such vivid memories of this game and they purely came from the campaign itself. Seeing the journeys of both the Master Chief and Arbiter in this game, for me will always remain one of the best campaign experiences in any game. Outskirts/Metropolis I would always spend hours on, replaying them to see if I could find something new to do, like finding a new shortcut or killing a specific group of enemies a different way. More specifically, at the end of the Metropolis level I would always see if I could aggro the elites in the Scarab into pulling out there swords.
Then a massive swing after Metropolis hits us. Instead of playing the Master Chief, we are playing as this elite we have seen in the introduction cutscene to Halo 2. I won't lie, as a kid I was always scared in playing the Arbiter missions, mainly because most of his missions you are playing alone, and mostly against really terrifying enemies such as a flood, or the rebel elite faction (I always thought these guys looked super freaky). Most of the first half to Master Chiefs campaign you play alongside with help with either marines or ODST soldiers, its not until pretty much one mission in High Charity we are pretty much alone for the whole mission playing as Chief. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed Arbiter's campaign, and really like how you end the game playing as Arbiter.
My favorite moments of Halo 2's campaign are definitely late game, either on Chiefs' journey in Delta Halo/Regret and Arbiter Uprising/Great Journey. I think those two missions which directly continue the journey of our two main characters are two of the best experiences in the game. Playing as Chief and playing alongside the ODSTs in Delta Halo was a fantastic experience, and I would always do my best to try and keep all my marine help alive for their missions. In Regret, I would always bring the marines as best as I could on the gondola and even to try and fight Regret at the end but man those two missions look absolutely phenomenal. The game itself looks amazing, and like you said has many backdrops which look fantastic but seeing the way the world of Delta Halo is crafted is simply amazing. When I got around to playing the remake I was in absolute awe seeing the underwater sections of Regret because we could never really see what was truly down there amidst the ruins.
I will always treasure this game, and for me still remains the best Halo game ever made. Nostalgia or not, this game still holds up and I can always pick it up and replay it. The only other shooters that I can do that with now, is Call Of Duty Black Ops 1 and the original Modern Warfare 2, and those games came out years later on a different generation of consoles. Halo 2 is and still remains one of the best shooters ever made and the story is one of the best stories in a shooter of its time.
Shout out to Marty for putting me on to your channel 🏆
I remember being at the midnight launch in 2004. The excitement was unreal. Hard to explain to anyone not into games at the time. Xbox Live was awesome too as this game was the best online experience at the time.
5:32 I felt that with every fiber of my being down to the very depth of my core. Halo 2s soundtrack is UNMATCHED 💯
Omg this is a really WELL MADE AND STRUCTURED VIDEO, I love the take and enjoyed the ending so much. Definitely a tear jerker lol
This is an amazing video. Beginning to end. Others have said it already but the ending montage is perfect. I actually keep coming back to it every once in a while.
“but this ring will make us brothers.” made me cry. The cut to arbiter and chief with their backs together was overwhelming.
I knew too much about this game.
I think we all did.
Every single word resonated with me on such a level that as a grown man with 4 children found myself crying like the newborn I'm currently holding. Subscribed now 😀
My first experience of the Halo universe could not be any closer to yours. I also started with 2 and a friends, not knowing what any of it really was. I was and still am as touched by the music as you are. Now at 32 I still can’t get enough of it. The game and Marty’s music changed me forever.
Also, you have a knack for fantastic cinematography and production. Just wow!
I was stuck with the Duke Xbox till 2014 and had played halo 2 repeatedly from 2006 till then the game was amazing
Great video and editing had chills at the end.
Damn amazing video man. You're story about playing halo as a kid was basically my story as well. Infinite will be here soon and I can't wait
Wow, a lot of love and care was put into this. Great job man
Your production quality is on a whole other level man. I can see a bright future for you:)
This is the content we needed, from the heart. Keep doing this quality videos! suscribed!
Greetings from Mexico!
Man you deserve so much attention for the quality of your vids. This is something truly legendary. 🥲
Marty brought me here, love the video so far man, gonna check out your other retrospectives
Hmmm 🤔... Martin O'Donnell brought me here AND I'm truly impressed. Great work
The quality of your videos are outstanding. And we had the same "learning about halo for the first time " experience haha
The end made me tear up a little bit 🥲❤
you deserve so many more views and subs! I can't wait to watch your channel grow! As a fellow piano and halo lover, the way you incorporated Rachmaninoff in the ODST remix intro was some artistic genius.
My fist Halo was Halo 2 at five years old. Unfortunately it got scratched at one point so all I could play was CE. Which is still my most played Halo game to this day.
this video fills me with such a warm feeling. Halo 2 truly is the greatest game of them all
Take a moment, and just think, because the first time I played halo it was two player couch co-op with my dad, and my two older sisters when one of us died we handed of the controller. We played through halos reach through four on old faithful 360 but we didn't have halo 2. And I remember that day when me and my dad went and bought it. I took one look at the cover of master chief holding two smgs and asked that that was about. He explained it to me and I wanted to dual wield so bad. So if anyone asks my oldest most defined memory is playing halo for the first time on winter contingency at the age of seven.
Halo 2 despite I never grew up with since I was not alive at the time. When I finally did play it through it in 2019 on pc the campaign is still my favortie in the industry
I can’t believe this video doesn’t have more views. FANTASTIC work. This is my third time watching and it makes me cry every time.
I’m 23, and Halo has been in my life for 20 years. I watched my dad play Halo: CE as well as this game, played both on my own, and played every single game since. As I get older and older, I’ve realized just how incredible Halo 2 is, and how big of an impact it had on who I am and what I love. I can probably quote every single line in the game, sing you every theme. Halo is such a defining part of who I am, and this game is a big reason why.
The comparison you made with Star Wars, terminator, and the godfather blew me away!
Everything you said in your video I agree with 100%. I started with Halo 1 in same way.. That Christmas I got an Xbox with a duke controller.
We rode out bikes down the street with an Xbox in our School bags. Going to friends houses to system link Halo 1. When 2 came out we were still doing the same.
Everyone still had dial up. So I eventually worked out how to bridge our laptop to the Xbox and got Xbox live going. Red or yellow connection was standard but I was always going back for more.
Really appreciate your Australian take on Halo. Being from the same country makes it so much more relatable.
Can't wait for the next one. 👍👍 Also thanks to Marty, otherwise I would have missed every upload!
Damn spartan, I've watched way to many halo related media on youtube, but this piece is a cut above. You've got some great talents here and I can't wait to see what you do next. Shout out to Marty for bringing me here for the full vid.
what a well done video. thanks for putting this into the universe
Dude that last part was legit like a movie trailer that was fucking amazing.
Man I remember playing this game for the first time. Was shocked we get to play the bad guys for the first time. Then dropped my controller to see that cliff hanger, and yelled out "OH COME ON!"
Incredible work! I’ve only seen a few of your videos so far and only recently subscribed but I can already tell your channel will very likely become my favorite Halo channel. So far everything you’ve made has been great (especially that music piece!!!)
So much work went into this! I love it!
'Revolutionary' is the only real way to describe Halo 2's impact on gaming after CE. Creating a more intriguing campaign and introducing online matchmaking to the world are perhaps its most important aspects.
That being said, it's not perfect (no game ever is). I feel like the campaign could've been even better if there were a few more missions to help expand the characters more. There was also the main problem with how the sandbox functioned in multiplayer. The BR ended up vastly overshadowing the rest of the weapons and button combos broke the game more than helped it at times (although there is something to be said about it creating a skill gap).
Still, it ended up being a solid middle game of a trilogy in both campaign and multiplayer compared to Halo 5 (which, imo, holds up really well in multiplayer but falls flat in the campaign).
Btw, are you a fan of 'Rise of the Spartans'? I recognized the track at 11:55 as being from Arbiter617's perhaps most important work
That track was originally used in the Halo Legends anime short called the Duel, but you're right, I definitely lowkey associate it with Rise of the Spartans as well. Used to love that series when I was a kid.
The past few years have treated us with excellent analyses on series, movies and videogames. I’m looking forward to more of your channel. Great video! By the way, what is the song that plays at the start of the “I know what the ladies like section”? It’s obviously a cover and sounds really good. (Nvm, got it. It’s the Sacred Icon Suite 2 from Halo Legends)
It’s crazy to think how the classic “Screen peeking” turned into “Stream sniping”.
I could talk about the menu of Halo 2 for weeks. I wish we had the original main menu and the H2 era Bungie logo popping in MCC edition. If you ever run into a mate or an acquaintance who has not been introduced to Halo 2 (heretic), I would highly recommend asking them what they think of the OG Xbox menu before playing the game, and then asking the same question after they've completed the campaign. That is, if you still have a functioning OG Xbox (I need to repair mine).
It is difficult to phrase it, but this menu is not just a vehicle for storytelling. It also sets the setting and asks questions of the player (with its superb blend of audio and visuals) and challenges their expectations, and not like Star Wars the Last Jedi. It already hints that this game might not just be another "run and shoot" stereotypical FPS, like it was discussed in the video. However, once you've played the game, the menu can fill a different purpose. It amplifies the emotional weight of the story and adds that somber touch that is alluded to in this video. In a way, it allows you to digest what you just experienced in a rather unique way.
I think it's safe to say that very few games have been able to innovate like this with their menu screens and do it so successfully. It is an excellent case-study, although I have to admit I am hopelessly biased. And I do have to mention Call of Duty Black Ops in the same breath regarding innovative main menus, but that's for different reasons and an entirely different story. I genuinely wonder if they took some inspiration from Halo for that.
Excellent video btw, sorry for the rant. I am genuinely at a loss for words how few games today are able to tell a story as well the games of this era. I do not want loot boxes, skins or emotes, I want stories that are interactive and immersive.
You make fantastic content, dude. Never stop.
This video is excellent! It really shows how great this game is
Incredible video. Made me tear up.
That's pretty neat how Halo 2 was your first Halo game because it was the same with me. At the time I didn't own an Xbox but my uncle did who had Halo 2 and it too blew my mind with everything you said and also because it was what introduced to online multiplayer. Beforehand I didn't know that existed 😅. I also didn't play Halo CE, and wouldn't until the MCC, but I did like how Halo 2 was very friendly to new players with how the story catches you up in the opening cinematics.
Funny how everyone seems to have been introduced to Halo by a friend/family. Mine was combat evolved in 2002 by my cousin at a video arcade. I vividly remember the system link match we played on blood gulch and needing more. That convinced me to save up money by mowing lawns and buy an Xbox. So my hype level was through the roof when halo 2 was announced.
Easily my favorite game of all time for its story and music. Great job covering it.
Well, damn. Thank you!
Masterpiece and I haven’t even seen the whole vid yet. Love your videos man
Amazing content man, congrats
Excellent video brought here by the Great One: Marty O'Donnell. Now after this I'm going to binging all of your past videos. Excellent work. 🖖🗽
Another excellent video, great job man. Superb writing and pacing once again. Honestly have 0 criticism for this one, it did everything it needed to do and did it well. I specifically liked how you brought up that triangle of characters dynamic. I never thought of including Tartarus when thinking about the character development of Halo 2, so after hearing your explanation it made me understand more how deep Halo 2's writing can be. Also glad to report I didn't get distracted by the VHS effect this time lol, glad you toned it back a bit (whether intentional or not) but still kept your 80's VHS vibe.
Yep! I took that feedback on board and tried to find something a little less distracting.
This was sooo good, well done!!
Bro how do you only have 2.78k subscribers. The quality of this video is unbelievable.
Personally, I think 343's art direction could never stand up to classic Bungie. Key to this is their handling of the Anniversary graphics in the flood missions. I also consider the Flood with rockets and shotguns just as dangerous as the Jackal Snipers, if not more. Aside from my personal gripes, I am in agreement. Halo 2 is probably the best game in the series.
Their art direction in the flood levels was fantastic, what are you smoking? Are you confusing what Saber Interactive did with HCEA with Halo 2 Anniversary?
@@TheRedKing247 I am referring to both CEA and 2A. Both done fucked up. Go watch Noodle's video if you need it broken down
@@cakeboss4194 Nah, 2A's graphics are fine having played it myself literally watching out for that shit.
Then clearly, you didn't notice the most obvious one: the glass floor should have fog in it while the heretics fight the flood, but in anniversary graphics, that fog is gone, ditching the mystery that was intentional with the original game.
@@cakeboss4194 that's how I was introduced to the flood, since Halo 2 was my first halo. At 7 years old, that scene through the glass floor where you cannot see the flood due to the fog. Hearing only their screams, gurgling, punching and swiping. While hearing the heretics gun fire and screams as they are getting slaughtered set the horror aspect up perfectly. You can't see shit, but the fear was instilled immediately in me but I would keep resetting the checkpoint to watch it over and over again. Halo 2 did the flood the best in the series for me. The atmosphere, they were the most aggressive and fast as hell and were legit the most creepy. So seeing H2A take away the horror atmosphere was a major let down and neutered the experience
Fantastic video! You earned my sub! Hope Marty includes you in the next big Discord chat with Late Night, Hidden Xperia, UberNick and Actman.
I was sent from Marty, good video man, you've earnt my subscription 😎👍👌
Marty has recommended atleast 2 of your vids so far. Amazing work man
Thanking my lucky stars!
I knew there was a reason I liked you. Halo 2 was my childhood thank you for the great video.
this is amazing. good job
Amazing production. Had to subscribe.
Thanks for Subscribing!
First time I played Halo was in 2019, on MCC. Played through all titles over a couple of months, and as I somewhat immersed myself in the fandom I was surprised to see that Halo 3 seemed to be the favorite child. In my view, then and now, Halo 2 stands head and shoulders over all the other games in the franchise. Maybe the multiplayer isn't as good as some of the other titles, but my gosh the story is so much better than all the rest.
This man need another 998k subs, man makes quality videos on par with bigger named halo videos and hes got the voice to go with it.
Incredible game, Incredible video.
Well done!
what a fuckin awesome essay. love the end sequence of vids.
1990 too 2015 what a time too have been alive with all the games and the culture that still echo's too this very day and always shall do too their legacy.
great video keep up the grind!
