I remember watching this thousands of times as a kid thinking this was an actual halo cut scene from halo 2 and I would be replaying all the missions to try to find this lol
This was one of my first videos watching when I came to UA-cam years ago. It was so fucking awesome, just as his work on Red Vs Blue and RWBY were. He was a great person, and will live on in our hearts
Wow 90% of the UA-cam community knew Monty. Its good to know that his legacy will pass and that his creativity will shine despite his unfortunate demise. Everyone here enjoyed the videos and his animation and he was a great guy to be around. I didn't know him personally, but being a huge fan of his I literally felt tears in my eyes when I first saw the reddit post saying he was dead. We all will miss him Alan. RIP Monty
I feel terrible!! In the very end, the screen shows Monty Oum on his computer and PRETENDING to be dead in which a long time ago, I laughed, but now I just want to sit in the corner and think that I laughed at his fake death and mourned at his real death
Someone else once said in a UA-cam comment "RWBY may be Monty's masterpiece, but Haloid will be his legacy." I couldn't agree more. Monty inspired a whole generation of people, still inspires animators even though he's no longer with us, and will continue to do do fo r.c as long as we remember him and his work. His animations were like an art form rather than something cinematic. I hope to emulate his style while I grow as a 3D animator. His name will never be forgotten. Thank you Monty for inspiring us all.
I think it’s the other way around. RWBY is his legacy because it’s what he’ll be remembered for. Most people who know or remember Haloid don’t know or care about who created it. Hell, most people who have heard of Monty don’t even know about it. Haloid is much more niche; but it’s a masterpiece in the category of “early piece made by a hungry bright eyed young creator”. Similar to how Duel is a minor Spielberg work, but it’s a small masterpiece in its own way.
Can we just appreciate that Monty's added feature of Samus having rocket boots became a LITERAL thing for her in Smash Bros. You can't deny that his video inspired that.
I remember watching this when I was, like, 12. The rocket boots thing never clicked for me. I NEVER considered this was the first time Samus was shown with them. oh my, Monty inspired Smash. rip legend.
The part where Sam throws the Jackal shields around the battlefield and Chief uses them as paddles for his high caliber ping pong bullet will remain the greatest thing ever animated.
Even if the models are outdated, this is still one of the coolest animations I've seen even in 2022. The fact that this was 2007 is still fantastic. RIP Monty and your talents and life are never forgotten 🙏
Reading all the most recent comments brought legitimate tears to my eyes at how many people you impacted... Monty, you will be missed by many. My respects. RIP.
Wow.. Oum had just gotten sick when I liked this and left the comment... I can't believe he passed. Definitely one of the OG gaming video guys and I have infinite respect for Monty Oum. The internet would not be the same place if it weren't for his work.
2020 Quarantine: The world needs a smile, so I looked to the past for inspiration. A brilliant yet dated animation better than most modern fights in fiction. Maybe, somethings are best kept the way they are.
Monty Oum will be missed. All of his works till his passing were great. His work with rooster teeth was nothing but amazing. His attitude toward his passion and work made it seem he knew his time was limited.
Uhh can you please not say the Q word, that word makes me depressed and you literally had no reason to say it in this comment. This comment would' ve still been a perfectly normal comment without that horrible word
Hiro Murdoch+ i never saw the very end before... to think what happend later. i think he will be remembered. many in the industry and anime fandom will never forget.

CptVonSwaggerNaut that may be in your eyes but i've sunk far too deep into my obsession with it to be convinced that it's anything short of perfection ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Today we remember one of the most brilliant and creative people the world has ever known. Monty was more than an animator, more than the mind behind RvB animation and RWBY, he helped encourage creativity throughout the rooster teeth community. He has touched more lives than one can count. Please I urge you, today, do something creative, do something kind, and just please be decent people "I tend to get a lot of response from people who are also not sure what they're meant to become, a lot of them, also with the same bright imaginations, and with the way the world is, the hardships of what it means to grow up tends to marginalize who you are, and I'd hate for that to happen to anyone because, Because, you know, the future is in creativity, and that's not something you can just manufacture" -Monty Oum 1981-2015
that quote is the most perfect one i have ever heard with all my to say delusion about well the point he sounds like the number one man i would like to go meet
Monsieurr Claw If not one of the most brilliant, then one of the most hard working and dedicated people. Monty put work over sleep, food, and everything else he cared about.
Watching the Monty oum fights, I was really pissed. His animation was so good and I wanted to see what more he could do, but he was taken from us too soon. At least he has inspired us all, and I hope one day to be as good as him. Thanks for being awesome Monty. Torrian is doing a good job keeping animation awesome
Funnily enough I've left a comment on this video every 5 years since 2011. So it's time for another I guess. Rewatching this really hits the feels. Still miss Monty everyday. Would have liked to see what else he would have created. Proud of all the animators who carry the torch in his honor. ^_^
Yeah, although i didn't really care about RWBY (wasn't my type of show), i loved this video when i was a kid and he was a really good action animator who inspired me a lot (The scenes he made for Red vs Blue are also very good) R.I.P
I saw this when it came out but completely disregarded who made it. It wasn't until Monty passed away I found out he made this. GJ, Monty. See You Space Cowboy
I remember seeing this the month it was posted. Graphically, for its time; it was really good, I showed so many of my friends. I couldn't believe how it was choreographed. Finding out the guy that made it passed, is really sad news. But this video will live on as a testament to his skills and talent. This art is what made the halo community what it was. RIP Monty
The RWBY Yang Shotgun Gauntlets. When Master Chief was swinging around that shotgun while also doing fighting moves. The world may never know how RWBY’s seasons 3-7 and beyond would have been like, if he was still alive.
I used to watch this all the way back in '07 / '08 I never would have thought the person that made this was the individual that went on to create RWBY. Wild world we live in.
First time I watched this video I was ten years old; almost eight years ago (8 yrs in April), a few days after it came out. Loved Monty's work, and this became my favourite video not only of his but one of my favourites in general... and then he joined RT to be greater. And now he's gone. Just like that. First Colin Wyckoff (Kitty0706) and now Monty... God dammit. Rest in Peace.
I remember seeing Haloid and I was 7 years old. When I saw it I was like "Holy Crap, this is AWESOME!" And loved it. I also saw a bit of his other work, but not completely. Then I saw that RWBY was announced. "YO! It's the Haloid Guy!" And watched both seasons. Then he was on the podcasts and that one stream where they played fitness games. Now he's gone like that.
SikantoCentral I didn't even know it was Monty who made this video. I mean, I never paid attention to the name of the creator, and it wasn't until a year after Monty was hired by RT (2011, I believe) when I realised HE was the MONTY OUM who made the famous Haloid video in which my absolute childhood crush Master Chief was a freaking girl. I remember I was amazed. I truly feel for his friends and family... They're the ones left genuinely suffering.
This is a sad reminder of, what was that saying? You never knew you had something until it's truly gone? or something like that. I watched Team Fabulous 2 and it was hilarious but I never payed attention to who made the video. Same thing with this until I saw the RWBY trailer and remembered seeing that name somewhere before. I guess in a way it's also a reminder to check who made an awesome video or thing because you'll never know if he/she'll be gone the next day
supernaturalnoscope True. Colin's death shocked me harder, though, because I loved the guy and he's the reason (along with DasBoSchitt) I bought G-Mod to create my own stories. I, for some reason, even started to watch his videos a lot around January 20th, had a small marathon until January 25th. Then on January 26th at about 4am I read the news he died. Now Monty, all the sudden too? It's just crappy.
Hands down this is still one of the best animation sequences I have ever seen. Monty was/is a legend. I have no idea how he did what he did in his time. I wish he was here for so much more. He put things together so perfectly, "it's like a run on sentence that never gets old" Just better as time goes on.
This is animated quite well, of course it doesn't look as good as it did when I first watched it, but I can say that this is animated better than Death Battle.
Okay for the sake of your argument, let's use Death Battle 4 years ago. And let's use the 3D ones for comparison as 2D Sprites aren't really a fit. Now, not to say this isn't an amazing animation, it is. But be honest with yourself. This is a 2007 Animation and it shows. Are you really gonna say this is better than Megazord vs Voltron, which came out 4 years ago when you made this comment. Or hell even going back Iron man vs Lex Luthor. Are you REALLY about to say that.
You can see the Matrix influences in this lol you can tell Monty was a fan. He used some soundtrack from the second film in the first Dead Fantasy episode.
He got his influences from all over. You can see specific scenes from movies scattered throughout, even. For example in Dead Fantasy 2, when Tifa drinks the potions, it's straight up Jackie Chan from Legend of Drunken Master 2
Man. . . I can just remember it like it was yesterday, just finished halo 2, and was still waiting for halo 3 and the hype was all over my mind, then one of my friends tells me about this guy who did this video, with Master Chief and Samus Aran, just throwing it all at it and here I couldn't believe it until late one night I found the video and watched it. . I was in awe and grew this love for this man's work. Jump some years later, I meet him at one of the cons, the guy was a great, calming, really full of life and I couldn't believe how much his work has changed and how people just enjoy crazy fighting mashups like this. Thank you, Monty Oum. . you shall be missed by your fans, love ones and family.
Elder Maxson Rooster Teeth? Well, Monty did work for them. Monty was the lead director and creator of RWBY. Though most of the series were written by other people, it was his idea, and he had already planned 9 seasons before he died. As for Red vs Blue... Monty only worked from season 8 and upward till he died.
HOW IS SOMETHING FROM ALMOST 8 YEARS AGO, BETTER THAN WHAT DEATH BATTLE COULD PUT OUT?!?! A whole team doing research, animating, scripting, VS. ONE F*CKING GUY. AND THAT ONE F*CKING GUY DID IT BETTER! R.I.P Monty, you rekt death battle.
lazychino Yeah... or at least according to Bungie she is, but they aren't running the show anymore and she hasn't been featured in any of the _Halo_ games.
Imagine the action scene with today's graphics. That would be the only thing that could make this video better. The choreography is amazing, and the intensity is so great. I have loved this video since it first came out, and it is still amazing today!
Might I suggest watching Red vs Blue or RWBY? Monty Oum, the guy who made this, was hired by Roosterteeth years ago to do their animating. It isn't just the graphics that have been bumped up either, Monty's sequences are much better than they used to be and seem to take physics a lot more seriously, so its more realistic too.
I never knew this existed but watching it gave me some feel of nostalgia somehow. All these stories of youth of the now grownups. Stumbling upon that which was the childhood of many feels so weird. Knowing that there surely are many Masterpieces forgotten but not lost that wait to be rediscovered makes it just so much more charming.
12 years.... wow. The memories of childhood, Good and bad. All seem to be a dream now..... RIP Monty Oum, This was the first work I saw from you and though you have pasted away. Your work is carried on. Red vs Blue, RWBY... You made a mark on this earth and many young kids.
Oh definitely, looks a lot like Nora's style when she is fighting Weiss in the food-hall. My first thought (after rewatching, since last time I watched it was years ago) I actually thought it was the basis of Agent Carolina fighting the 100-Tex army. Come to think of it, a LOT of the moves used in this are repeated throughout both Red vs Blue and RWBY.
Bub Bub Neither were the episodes of RVB that Monty animated. This video was created a while before Monty even got into contact with Roosterteeth. What I'm saying is that he repeated a lot of stunts from THIS video into his newer animations.
I'd say it is most sad that he did not get to finish his creations, and he probably had so many more ideas and projects in the future days that are no more. R.I.P. - Mounty Oum - 1981-2015 I really do hope that his family will recover from this deeply terrible loss.
But then you look at the downhill run Osiris did at the start of the game, which is a lot faster than that scene. I think the difference here is that the John V Lock fight was motion captured to have accurate human motions, while the downhill fight was animated by hand because they were doing things that just were not possible for humans to do.
+BowlingGlaceon No it isn't. It shows that 343i don't understand the Covenant for shit. When Vale jumps in the Phantom there are 2 sword Elites standing there and doing nothing. Jerome vs. Brutes & Elites is a far better example.
"The brightest sparks always burn out the fastest..." Rest in Peace Monty, this was the first time I watched this today and that picture at the end of you passed out made me sad because now you will be in eternal sleep. You deserve the rest man, thank you for everything.
I remember watching this with my buddies back in the unofficial Halo vs Metroid Prime days. We went nuts, loved it so much, and it was the talk of the school for a bit (we were like 12 back then). Looking back now, WOW, what an accomplishment this video was! Barely any of those animations were in halo, and zero suit Samus in 3D with any animations was non existent. Oum had to make all of them himself probably. What a tragic death, and at 33 too. :'( RIP man, and thanks for all of your other contributions!
This is my first time watching this again after a long, long, long time this was a amazing video back then and it still is on this very day. Reast in peace Monty
Monty said gay rights...I’m glad I was able to witness part of his legacy today. I haven’t known of him until very recently, but I’m sad he was taken from us so soon. I’m glad he was able to create such splendid artwork during the time he was here.
Basically Master chief was doin his daily bussiness, all of a sudden Samus come's out of knowhere and takes on master chief like a hot bad ass, gets turned on by samus's hot-ness, gets wet or has a boner {Futa} Aliens attack them, they both work together and nuke the place. After that chief gets out of the suit as a chick and become lesbians. Then some dance that makes no sense unless ur using Vr
I remember watching this thousands of times as a kid thinking this was an actual halo cut scene from halo 2 and I would be replaying all the missions to try to find this lol
Hehehehe. Good times
The best times, playing CE in Pc with the boys.
I watched it thinking how dope it would be to have master chief in super smash bros
Yep
On goddd tbbb 💯💯
RIP Monty. Got goosebumps when I saw this 5 years ago. Still do.
This was one of my first videos watching when I came to UA-cam years ago. It was so fucking awesome, just as his work on Red Vs Blue and RWBY were. He was a great person, and will live on in our hearts

Spartans never dies, they're just missing in action.

Most people who know or remember Haloid don’t know or care about who created it. Hell, most people who have heard of Monty don’t even know about it.
Haloid is much more niche; but it’s a masterpiece in the category of “early piece made by a hungry bright eyed young creator”. Similar to how Duel is a minor Spielberg work, but it’s a small masterpiece in its own way.

I remember seeing Haloid and I was 7 years old. When I saw it I was like "Holy Crap, this is AWESOME!" And loved it. I also saw a bit of his other work, but not completely.
Then I saw that RWBY was announced. "YO! It's the Haloid Guy!" And watched both seasons. Then he was on the podcasts and that one stream where they played fitness games.
Now he's gone like that.

I didn't even know it was Monty who made this video. I mean, I never paid attention to the name of the creator, and it wasn't until a year after Monty was hired by RT (2011, I believe) when I realised HE was the MONTY OUM who made the famous Haloid video in which my absolute childhood crush Master Chief was a freaking girl. I remember I was amazed.
I truly feel for his friends and family... They're the ones left genuinely suffering.
This is a sad reminder of, what was that saying? You never knew you had something until it's truly gone? or something like that. I watched Team Fabulous 2 and it was hilarious but I never payed attention to who made the video. Same thing with this until I saw the RWBY trailer and remembered seeing that name somewhere before. I guess in a way it's also a reminder to check who made an awesome video or thing because you'll never know if he/she'll be gone the next day

True. Colin's death shocked me harder, though, because I loved the guy and he's the reason (along with DasBoSchitt) I bought G-Mod to create my own stories. I, for some reason, even started to watch his videos a lot around January 20th, had a small marathon until January 25th. Then on January 26th at about 4am I read the news he died. Now Monty, all the sudden too? It's just crappy.
"Hard to believe that he's gone."
"Were it so easy"
So far, this 16 year old video is better than the Halo TV series.
Granted, it is an awesome video.
Hands down this is still one of the best animation sequences I have ever seen. Monty was/is a legend. I have no idea how he did what he did in his time. I wish he was here for so much more. He put things together so perfectly, "it's like a run on sentence that never gets old" Just better as time goes on.
let the fanfics begin...
This is animated quite well, of course it doesn't look as good as it did when I first watched it, but I can say that this is animated better than Death Battle.
Okay for the sake of your argument, let's use Death Battle 4 years ago. And let's use the 3D ones for comparison as 2D Sprites aren't really a fit. Now, not to say this isn't an amazing animation, it is. But be honest with yourself. This is a 2007 Animation and it shows. Are you really gonna say this is better than Megazord vs Voltron, which came out 4 years ago when you made this comment. Or hell even going back Iron man vs Lex Luthor. Are you REALLY about to say that.
5 years ago? Isn't that when Monty Oum was animating the Death Battles himself? Bruh what are you talking about lol
When you notice the split second jiggle physics at 5:23
didn't you say that you preferred the remastered version without fan-service?
@@MrGreatDane2 yes
@@avoughtf4u-4corsair19 sounds a bit contradicting to this comment :thinking:
exactly because I posted that comment after I posted this one.
Edit: and I was referring to the ending
@@avoughtf4u-4corsair19then it's okay
Still watching this is 2021 rip a legend
You can see the Matrix influences in this lol you can tell Monty was a fan. He used some soundtrack from the second film in the first Dead Fantasy episode.
He got his influences from all over. You can see specific scenes from movies scattered throughout, even. For example in Dead Fantasy 2, when Tifa drinks the potions, it's straight up Jackie Chan from Legend of Drunken Master 2
Man. . . I can just remember it like it was yesterday, just finished halo 2, and was still waiting for halo 3 and the hype was all over my mind, then one of my friends tells me about this guy who did this video, with Master Chief and Samus Aran, just throwing it all at it and here I couldn't believe it until late one night I found the video and watched it. . I was in awe and grew this love for this man's work.
Jump some years later, I meet him at one of the cons, the guy was a great, calming, really full of life and I couldn't believe how much his work has changed and how people just enjoy crazy fighting mashups like this.
Thank you, Monty Oum. .
you shall be missed by your fans, love ones and family.
Damn i watched this when i was 8 and now i'm 20
Nostalgia
After 10 years, im back to see this again and feel my childhood one more time 🔥
This thing is 9 years old??
Why the fuck haven't I ever seen this until now!?
That was better than half the stuff I've seen recently!
Then that ending...
Lmao
Check out RWBY. It's an animated series that the same person created. Sadly, the creator died january.
You mean Roost Teeth the creators of Red vs. Blue the one going halo parody worth mentioning to friends that Creator right?
Elder Maxson Rooster Teeth? Well, Monty did work for them. Monty was the lead director and creator of RWBY. Though most of the series were written by other people, it was his idea, and he had already planned 9 seasons before he died.
As for Red vs Blue... Monty only worked from season 8 and upward till he died.
How would a hobbit know that lol
HOW IS SOMETHING FROM ALMOST 8 YEARS AGO, BETTER THAN WHAT DEATH BATTLE COULD PUT OUT?!?! A whole team doing research, animating, scripting, VS. ONE F*CKING GUY. AND THAT ONE F*CKING GUY DID IT BETTER!
R.I.P Monty, you rekt death battle.
Actually Torrian does the animation by himself but it still doesn't beat The Legend himself
Well, how long did Haloid take? How much time can they afford to spend on one Death Battle episode?
14 years later still dope AF
Yes
Yo god level, Monty is a God and will live on- that Choreography is next level
It's 2016 and screw attack still doesn't match this!
They already did samus vs. boba fett. Screwattack doesn't repeat characters :P
I think he's talking about animation
TheSpojak19 the characters exist already though
Hyponum Angel yes they do lol
Ya and this was one single guy
I was told there would be making out. I feel cheated.
Man, I totally forgot this video existed for like, at least the past 7 years.
C
I'm coming back to Monty Oum animations during quarantine to lift my spirits. I miss you Monty.
Although the title says differently, it is is not Master Chief!
It is Nicole, a different spartan
a Spartan named nicol what? like actual spartan or a Made up one
Nicole-458
+lazychino Nicole-458 was a SPARTAN created by Bungie for _Dead or Alive 4_, and her armour is identical to Master Chief's.
+Asura so she's an actual spartan
lazychino Yeah... or at least according to Bungie she is, but they aren't running the show anymore and she hasn't been featured in any of the _Halo_ games.
can't believe :D
after 5 - 6 years i found this video again :D
I know right same here
Came back once again, I remember watching this as a kid. How nostalgic.
2024, you bet I'm still watching this masterpiece. Who's with me?
Imagine the action scene with today's graphics. That would be the only thing that could make this video better. The choreography is amazing, and the intensity is so great. I have loved this video since it first came out, and it is still amazing today!
Might I suggest watching Red vs Blue or RWBY? Monty Oum, the guy who made this, was hired by Roosterteeth years ago to do their animating.
It isn't just the graphics that have been bumped up either, Monty's sequences are much better than they used to be and seem to take physics a lot more seriously, so its more realistic too.
I will start meditating if only to remember Monty.
Ouuuuum....Ouuuuum.....Ouuuuum.....
This actually made me laugh and not feel so sad really
It's all apart of the healing process.
this comment made me feel good inside
Enignogma That's what meditation does for you man.
BigFry9591 THE PUNS
I never knew this existed but watching it gave me some feel of nostalgia somehow. All these stories of youth of the now grownups. Stumbling upon that which was the childhood of many feels so weird. Knowing that there surely are many Masterpieces forgotten but not lost that wait to be rediscovered makes it just so much more charming.
12 years.... wow. The memories of childhood, Good and bad. All seem to be a dream now.....
RIP Monty Oum, This was the first work I saw from you and though you have pasted away. Your work is carried on.
Red vs Blue, RWBY... You made a mark on this earth and many young kids.
RIP monty. You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten.
- Jason Garwood, Team BombHead
Rest in Peace Monty Oum, you will forever be loved and remembered. My condolences to your family and every one of us who loved you.
It’s January 2022 and if this is still the best piece of animation I’ve ever seen
*Masterchief in the books be like:*
lol, you can see a little bit of RWBY when Chief gets the shotgun
Not only that,Yang's martial arts skill in 02:01-02:20
Oh definitely, looks a lot like Nora's style when she is fighting Weiss in the food-hall. My first thought (after rewatching, since last time I watched it was years ago) I actually thought it was the basis of Agent Carolina fighting the 100-Tex army.
Come to think of it, a LOT of the moves used in this are repeated throughout both Red vs Blue and RWBY.
but rwby wasn't there back then 3:
Bub Bub Neither were the episodes of RVB that Monty animated. This video was created a while before Monty even got into contact with Roosterteeth.
What I'm saying is that he repeated a lot of stunts from THIS video into his newer animations.
I'd say it is most sad that he did not get to finish his creations, and he probably had so many more ideas and projects in the future days that are no more.
R.I.P. - Mounty Oum - 1981-2015
I really do hope that his family will recover from this deeply terrible loss.
The nostalgia is real! This was one of my favorite videos on UA-cam as a kid and I still really enjoy this! R.I.P. Monty
*WHOS HERE IN 2019 MY BOYS*
This is how Spartans should fight, but 343 gotta be like "Nah, fam."
Spartans got a lot more mobile in the 343 games, you meme.
Jonathon Downs That is true - but if you look at the Locke vs Chief fight... Well, it speaks for itself.
But then you look at the downhill run Osiris did at the start of the game, which is a lot faster than that scene.
I think the difference here is that the John V Lock fight was motion captured to have accurate human motions, while the downhill fight was animated by hand because they were doing things that just were not possible for humans to do.
the opening to Halo 5 is best example to how badass spartans can be out of every halo game
+BowlingGlaceon No it isn't. It shows that 343i don't understand the Covenant for shit. When Vale jumps in the Phantom there are 2 sword Elites standing there and doing nothing. Jerome vs. Brutes & Elites is a far better example.
"The brightest sparks always burn out the fastest..."
Rest in Peace Monty, this was the first time I watched this today and that picture at the end of you passed out made me sad because now you will be in eternal sleep. You deserve the rest man, thank you for everything.
This was so cool when I was a kid and still is
Mounty Oum... I will remember your videos forever. 32 and still feels like nostalgia when I was in my teens :(
I remember watching this with my buddies back in the unofficial Halo vs Metroid Prime days. We went nuts, loved it so much, and it was the talk of the school for a bit (we were like 12 back then). Looking back now, WOW, what an accomplishment this video was! Barely any of those animations were in halo, and zero suit Samus in 3D with any animations was non existent. Oum had to make all of them himself probably. What a tragic death, and at 33 too. :'( RIP man, and thanks for all of your other contributions!
Watching this video in memory of Monty Oum 1985-2015.
RIP, you will be missed dearly.
1982, actually.
This video was my childhood, and I’m glad I found it against
14 years ago. Crazy to think about
2019 and this video has been in my mind recently. decided to come back and visit😭 the memories with this video😔
This video was my childhood, would watch this whenever I was on UA-cam. Watching it today to remember.
Oh god, i just realized I never got past the credits before. What the fuck.
There will always be one monty oum! Hang in there man.
I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking it was amazing. Little did I know, this man would later come to join the company I dream of working with.
This is my first time watching this again after a long, long, long time this was a amazing video back then and it still is on this very day. Reast in peace Monty
Do you believe in destiny?
Thank you Monty Oum... for everything. RIP
Once more... With feeling... :')
Rest in peace Monty
Saw this as a kid. Woah, time flies.
it really does ;-;
It's been a while, it's nice coming back to this here and there
Can't believe that he's gone. How surreal.
That got really gay.
You got really Gay lol XD
o snap
Lol thanks for humoring me rather then takeing the low road like most people normally would
:( the person who made this died
Monty said gay rights...I’m glad I was able to witness part of his legacy today. I haven’t known of him until very recently, but I’m sad he was taken from us so soon. I’m glad he was able to create such splendid artwork during the time he was here.
Omg I remember this was one of my first videos I’ve seen on UA-cam. So happy to see it’s still up!
Hello from 2024!
Always come back to this every couple years. This shit blew my mind as a kid.
Basically Master chief was doin his daily bussiness, all of a sudden Samus come's out of knowhere and takes on master chief like a hot bad ass, gets turned on by samus's hot-ness, gets wet or has a boner {Futa} Aliens attack them, they both work together and nuke the place. After that chief gets out of the suit as a chick and become lesbians.
Then some dance that makes no sense unless ur using Vr
LOL
Your grammar hurts me man...
could not have said it better myself.
What the fuck is a futa.
Reclaimer look it up, its hilarious
Rest in peace Monty Oum. You will be missed.
This will always live on in my memories I always rewatch this every year. We miss you Monty.
This video is so good. It's simply awesome...
Rest in peace Monty,you will be missed.
