The Halo 3 trailer with chief picking up his helmet and putting his AR on his back then deploying that bubble shield then running out after that wraith mortar hit was the coolest shit ever
Oddly enough, that's what turned me off of Halo before I could play it lol. I didn't like military shooters, and it just looked like a futuristic military shooter. Which it kinda is... but the story is so much more than that. I'm glad I eventually played the Halo games despite my misgivings.
@@writershard5065 well yeah, that’s a large part of Halo’s theme, at least for the UNSC, futuristic military. That’s what turns many away from the armor designs in Halo 4 and 5, you just couldn’t see someone in the military wearing a lot of them.
I did a whole school presentation about the halo 3 “Believe” ad and how breathtaking it was. I got an A+ solely because my teacher was a giant halo fan and we geeked out about the ad fro almost the whole class period
The live action halo 3 ODST ad still gives me goosebumps. Every. Time. And the live-action short film on youtube, "Landfall," seriously. Got me excited for Halo 3 the way no commercial could. If they could have made a movie like that? Grunts and ODSTs fighting like hell and trying their best and still barely scraping by? Really captured the gritty, desperate nature of the war and made you understand that they really NEEDED Chief.
Can't forget the iconic Johnson pre order for Odst. Y'know, the one where theres a whole firefight going on, he walks through the field and everyone just stops shooting and acknowledges him. Legendary.
The commercials looked good and I really wish that the Master Chief had an enemy as skilled as him Sadly they changed the story they had planned, I don't know why they did it but they took away the first story they had, we will never know what the first one was like
I will never forget how hyped and then disappointed I was in Halo 5. That commercial made me think they had the balls to actually kill Chief or at least give him a worthy fight that could seriously injure him. The idea of making Chief rogue was interesting as hell. I listened to every single episode of Hunt The Truth the day they came out and that story mixed with the trailers had me so excited for the game. I always thought he went rogue for the right reason, like it was against orders, but it was for the greater good and that sounded interesting. The goodie too shoes Chief defying orders!!!??? Like, damn! And then we got the game and it was so toned down to what I was expecting. I'm a little mad it didn't pick up from the desert cinematic with the Guardian, but sometimes things change, I understand that and I wouldn't have been that mad, if a better idea comes up then for sure. It's just a random cinematic that I don't think was even in the game. Man. I have never been so disappointed in a game.
@@59hawks halo was originally supposed to be an rts, the earliest builds of halo ce from 1997 show it was originally supposed to be one. It was later changed to a third person shooter originally set to realise on the mac. When Microsoft bought Bungie it became the game we know today.
The Halo 3 Landfall commercial was so good. It goes to show the importance of the chief since so many lives were lost in order to find out where he was going to land.
I remember one in Wich a spartan is graduating from High School and then goes to college and it's all to sell a computer for studies and I think it's pretty funny, really liked the "spartan goes to college" as a way of putting "get Halo with you to the college with this laptop".
I feel like the Alienware one could have been a lot more appealing if A) they showed actual Halo Reach B) converted the suit to Chief’s (or 6’s since he is in Reach) armor, with maybe the helmet appearing on the desk to the side or something that we see as like a zoom out recap type thing from the side
When the Super Bowl dropped that Starry Night trailer we crapped our pants, plus the Deliver Hope trailer was on the home page during the 360 days and you could put the music over the menu if you hovered over the icon. So good
If we're being totally honest, Halo 5's promotional material was some of the best IF you ignore the fact that they have nothing to do with the garbage campaign
4:04 "Chief is facing off against someone who is at equal ability" Really... Just really. Chief is a Spartan 2 going up against a Spartan 4. They "totally" have equal ability. It's not like Chief would obliterate Locke or anything🙄
I remember there was a commercial for halo 4 and it had chief captured or restrained and I can’t remember if it was a knight or the didact that went up to him and I Renner this ad and it was cool
I will never forget seeing a commercial for Halo 2 In a movie theater. I think it was the first time I ever saw a video game advertised before I saw the movie.
I haven’t had cable or watched any TV shows or movies with advertisements in almost 10 years so seeing all of these kind of broke my brain. The most iconic commercial for me will always be the starry night trailer for Halo 3. It made me cry and physically shake with joy and excitement when i saw it first air during the super bowl.
Makes me want an actual Halo Geico ad. Their commercials are actually usually enjoyable to watch so I'd love to see how they go about something like that
Bruh how did you not show the believe trailer. Like seriously, that one is by far the best trailer for any video games ever created, it’s so awesome with the song raindrop prelude playing with its sad and somber tone as it looks as if the unsc is on its last legs, then with the chief being “captured” but yet alluding to the fact chief isn’t dead, and will definitely surprise the hell out of some covi’s by throwing that plasma grenade.
I had the exact same armor setup in original reach, robot arm on right side and overprotected left arm. It added some story to a multiplayer avatar. great minds.
I have this one specific video in mind. No idea what specific game it was associated with, nor if it was even made for marketing purposes. I remember it being semi-photorealistic, and possibly with a gritty theme similar to Landfall or the ODST live-action. The one seconds-long segment I remember from it was a male marine with a shiny opaque visor and his mouth is open (yelling I assume), as he turns his head in slow motion towards an explosion or something breaking through a wall at him.
The Halo 3 Believe diorama and live action shorts with the old guys are the best, followed by Starry Night, followed by Deliver Hope and then ODST "We are ODST" advert.
The Believe Diorama, Deliver Hope, and Landfall short film are up there with my favorites as well as the whole Halo 3 Beleive campaign which was nothing short of awe inspiring. Every Bungie title had a stellar ad campaign that got better with each release. Amazing is all I can say!

In another timeline Halo 5 was as good as its marketing made it out to be.
Maybe it's the same timeline where sweet victory played at the superbowl

nah dude, that was a red vs blue amv
@@gigagogagagio there was that one. But if you look up the one for mcc it pulls one up. Check it out!

Reach’s commercial was really cool, it also showed us how the OG Noble 6 died

Halo 3's Believe is hands down my favorite commercial. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye and immediately brings me back to 2007.
Last time I was this early chief was still floating in space. Oh wait he still is.
The Halo 3 Landfall commercial was so good. It goes to show the importance of the chief since so many lives were lost in order to find out where he was going to land.
All I can think of is “They put da masterchief in da soda”
Not gonna lie, the back and forth commercials between Cutter and Atriox had me dead.
I never wondered what Rocket Elijah’s mom looked like until now, lol......
Probably hot lmao
lol i think thats someone doing a voiceover for Sergeant Johnson, you can here the transition when he says "saving"

My all time favourite is the Halo 3 'Believe' ad. It was so clever and you can tell a lot of love and care went into making this
"Master Cheif, mind telling me what you're doing with that lizard?"
"Sir, saving 15% or more on car insurance, Sir."
