A Halo Nostalgia Trip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Nostalgia is both a beautiful and terrifying emotion. For Halo, it's deeply rooted with nostalgia, oozing memories and good times. Diving into it alone you can get lost, so let's dive into it together... the way Halo is supposed to be approached.

Wanted to promote the discord because there might be a possibility we get some classic Halo games going, especially customs like Jenga, Monster Trucks, Trash Compactor, etc. If you are interested in that POSSIBLY happening feel free to join with the link down below.

Ngl your channel content is very good. Far better than other creators that upload tonnes of low effort stuff. Everytime i watch your videos i feel like i am entering some good old museum. Keep up the good work.
Are ya gonna edit the audio volume in the remakes/remasters to make the old original sound way better and atmospheric and the new one "soulless" in your next comparison video?
@@stardust9164whare did this obsession with audio came from? lmao
@@etikoshai9105 No idea tbh
Love your vids
God I miss this. I miss having a full friendslist of people playing Halo 3. You could drop in at any time and SOMEONE was playing. Halo is a party game, and it always has been. Never forget
Straight facts, my guy. May those days return someday... If even only for our children
I feel that and just inviting them all to customs and theyed actually join
I wholeheartedly agree and I add that I loved how Halo devs worked to make any part of Halo experience (campaign, LAN, Xbox Live, Forge...) accessible in split-screen. It was incredible and I hope it will return sooner or later, if not on Halo on other games.
Being only fourteen now, I only just found halo two years ago. I was born just after the release of halo 3 odst, and because of that, I missed the golden age of halo. Watching videos like this for me is not remembering the past but learning what I missed. :(
@@Jahamez-qd8qi If it can interest you there are many projects which are keeping old Halo games online on PC and Xbox.
Look Project Cartographer for Halo 2 on PC, Insigna for Halo 2 on OG Xbox, Halo Sunrise Project for Halo 3 and Halo Reach. Halo 1 for PC can still be played online wothout any mod thanks to Bungie which released a patch to allow community servers when GameSpy closed bringing down the official ones.
i miss the old halo
straight from the soul halo
Miss it and never dist it
@@ThatTallBrendan Chop up the flood halo
Me too, bro. Me too.... Miss it and never diss it fosho.... Dat purple Cortana Halo 😏
@kaylemjoseph8727 @ThatTallBrendan @MrPureManure set on their lore halo, I hate the new halo, the bad news halo
Halo means a lot to me, and if you're here I imagine it might mean a lot to you too. To all those memories that are getting older every single day, I will never forget what it all did for me. No other game has touched me the way Halo has, and so few things in my life have ever had a greater impact than this game. As strange as that can sound, I grew up knowing this game almost my entire life and has been present ever since. I don't remember a time where I didn't know of Halo. I hope this video has resonated with you in some way, it was a wave of emotions to make.
Is MCC online still alive?
My first ever shooting game was halo, I use to watch my brother play for hours on end then one day he handed me a controller and we gamed for hours for days snd my brother got me into games and I can’t thank my brother enough for the memories
Never had wifi till 2016 so every halo game I played was just hours and hours of campaign with my brother or by my self when halo added firefight and gave something to the solo players I feel in love with halo all over again, halo,cod and gears of war kept me entertained and got me through my childhood, gaming in general has such a special place to me and when it comes to older halo and cod and gears I can’t stop thinking about all the memories I had along the way playing with my brother till the very end
@@crazyvideoguy1partially. You can easily find a custom game, but most of the matchmaking is deader than my great grandpa.
I couldn't've said it any better, brother. Halo is damn fine and a very solid pillar of my life, since my ole dad bought it for my six-year-old ass in around 2005 or '06. The bastards who took over halo managed to waste the most wonderful gift their asses could've ever received, but OG Halo will never die, just like Heavy Metal, or Taxes.
Also, rip to that one guys dead grandpa
I feel like everyone who loves halo is simultaneously getting nostalgic and now playing again
We find ourselves up against hard times and the brutality of adulthood and we find ourselves collectively all longing for simpler times and simpler memories such as playing one of the greatest games ever made.
@@PlatinumSpartan077spot on..
I wasn't allowed to have an online console through middle school but in high school i got an Xbox with a copy of Halo: Reach. Looking back it is utterly insane to me that you could invite everyone in your 'recent players' list to a custom game and get a full private lobby of random people all getting along and having fun within minutes if not seconds. Somebody would invite their friends, somebody would have modded maps on their fileshare, somebody would be playing split-screen with their little brother; all just completely gone without as much as a whisper it feels like.
It ain't how it was but how it was sure as hell ain't died, never forget. I was def a Reach kid only because we had no Internet until Reach came out. Missed out on Halo 2 and Halo 3 only in multiplayer. OG Halo has the biggest dick in the land, and always will
that lil bro part is so relatable LOL
The Halo 3 days on the X360 were the best days in my life. These nostalgia vids show us how short life can be and how quickly it can it pass us by. My mom passed away 13 days ago. Her service is today. Between her and all these nostalgia halo vids, this week has been my most difficult. RIP mom.
Sending love your way bud
Things will get better ❤️🩹
condolences, I hope you can live a life she's proud of
H3 OG player here: Never Forget! I am sorry for this. May she rest well and smile upon you always.

We Really Finished The Fight.
bro you just made me cry
My friends and I get together at least once a year for "Friendsgiving". We have turkey and all the sides. Then we play Halo the rest of the day.
We still bring our TVs and consoles. The only differences now are the TVs are flatter and we use the WiFi instead of having cables all over the place.
About half of the group are friends I've played with since high school. Now their kids join us. It's great to be able to share it with the next generation.
That’s a real holiday. Nice to see kids being exposed to these classics. I’ve been playing since I was 4 with my older cousins back in 2001. Halo is still my favorite series all these years later.
That's a Holiday for the tales of time!
Watching this and your previous videos hit me with a ton of nostalgia. Halo 3 was my game of choice back in the day, I still remember getting my Xbox 360 Christmas of '07 along with a copy of Halo 3 and my life was never the same after that. The people I met, the trash talking I did, the Custom Games I played, the friends who I finally met in person. Halo 3 got me through some really dark days, it meant a lot to me then and still means a lot to me now. I still remember weekends RUSHING to the Machinima UA-cam page to see if the new Spriggs or Arby n' The Chief or Inside Halo got uploaded. I remember Anoj and all his Top 10s. So many great memories on what most people would see as just a video game, it was a living community and I'm glad it's legacy lives on in some capacity.
Remember the halo raps and music videos too that exploded around that time??? Halo 1-reach was the golden years for sure
Seeing the art style on Zealot, the only energy sword and sounds, power weapons in the middle of the map basically on display, the old battle rifle, the slower paced movement, you and your teammates defending a hill on Sandtrap, wow the memories...
As a 10 year old on prime halo 3 multiplayer, everyone was surprisingly accepting of me even though I was young. The community was great.
same!
To my parents, video games were the devil. I wasn't allowed to play video games and was grounded for 9 years, more than half the amount of time I lived in their household since I moved out early at 17.
Thankfully, both my neighbors' parents weren't insane like mine and they had Halo. I practically lived at their houses during that time and I was that one guest account that would top the scoreboard. So many nights of custom games, split screen campaign, and forge. It was truly an amazing time to be alive.
The xbox 360 era was a rough time for me because of the constant ass whoopings, no freedoms, and unreal expectations set on me by my parents who had gone off the deep end during those years but Halo was my happy place. I'm practically trauma bonded to the series.
Halo was lightning in a bottle. There are other games that are also great but none have or ever will compare to what Halo was back in the day. I remember youtube was basically 50% Halo machinima and 50% cat vidoes. You could invite randoms and fill custom lobbies instantly. People would actually speak in game chat, and so much more I won't get into. The Bungie Halo games were magical, and it's one of those cases where you just had to be there. I know I and many others will never forget it and the joys it brought to us. God bless you all and thanks for the memories.
Stay strong, Spartan! I miss these days as well. I miss the community.
It genuinely hurts
I still do halo ce and halo 2 LAN parties on 360
that makes me cry
@@rogerdalzell last time I hosted I had 20-25 guys stay up till 4 a.m. playing just like the good ol' days. Haven't done that since my buddies 16th birthday party pre Xbox 360. But now we're doing it twice a year, next one is next month. The glory days of Halo aren't dead or gone, they're just a lot fewer and farther between.
I miss getting vidmaster achievements and playing custom games all night, Thank you for reminding me just how special those moments truly were.
man this vid hit. glad and grateful to have been apart of this generation of halo with ya’ll.
I didn't have XBOX Live until Halo Reach, but I got into the franchise with Halo 3. I wish I could've played during the golden days, it's caused me to look back not with nostalgia but with envy.
Thanks for making this. I wish things were simpler. I wish times were simpler. Halo is reminiscent of these better times, and it takes me back to when there was just a general excitement for life.
Everything is *too* serious, political, ideological, and infiltrated, but back then, we were just having fun and that was all. Halo, like all the other major franchises nowadays, is just a machine for people with no passion or care for the IP going into it and turning it into what *they* want, rather than maintaining it for what it is and allowing it to grow into that.
I love Halo. I say I abandoned it, and I believe I have, but yet here I am commenting mournfully about what I knew it to be. What I know it still *can* be. The TV show, the recent 343 releases, the insistence on “wholesome” culture, it’s all just tedious. So seeing that there are still people who remember what I remember is amazing and encouraging.
Exactly that, we were all having fun and that was what it was. Not a whole lot of extra fluff.
This discussion truly feels like mourning of loss of a person who was really important. As if we all knew the person closely and are saddened by their passing.
And honestly, with how important the memories people made within these games are. It's the PERFECT way to have a conversation on what Halo once was.
Halo CE split screen with my dad, uncle and just me was what made me love halo, i was only 4 years old playing CE lol, grew up seeing all this and experienced it was a blast, plus seeing some old vids pop up sure made me choke up cause i remember spending hours looking at these halo skits, from red vs blue to jackass of halo, then comes the silly animations to were i still remember truth smacking a grunt upside the head and he dose the silly cry
This video hit me. A couple minutes in, i realized some of these clips were me and my old friends.. i was even more mindblown to see an actual clip of me at 3:33 killing my friend smoogerz. Life is a trip man, thank you for this video. I wish i knew how precious these times were going to be one day while i was living it.
I remember dad taking 8-year old me out to get Halo 2 on launch day. Halo therapy is real. I become a doctor in 2 months. I was so nervous about taking my medical licensing exams (some of the most life-altering and grueling exams), but listening to the Halo 2/3 soundtracks on the drive to the test center completely washed away my anxiety.
The good days 😥 keep halo in your heart and don't forget it keep it close
That nostalgic montage had me feeling all sorts of things. Dang, whose slicing up onions up in here?!
God, I miss this so much. From the rich story and music to the chaotic and communicative matchmaking experience, Halo was such a critical part of my life. From the moment I could hold the controller in 2001, I was playing Halo. I lived and breathed Halo, I had all of the classic SPARTAN-II books and toys, and so did my brother. And it’s sad, melancholic, that Halo has become a corpse paraded through the streets by a company that replaced Bungie. The MCC is only a husk, a capsule of the spirit of what Halo was. Halo died in 2010 as far as I’m concerned, but it lives on in the memories of the players of old.
I think Lord Hood said it best himself:
"For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."
I was a kid. My first halo was Reach in 2013. We didn't had access to the internet and we were too poor to buy new games so i just replayed the campaign with my brother thousands of times, sometimes we fighted, but i love my brother and playing videogames with him is always nostalgic.
I was very new to halo but I remember one day going to a friend's house and he introduced me to halo. I didn't know what halo but all I knew was it was fun and cool. So for a year me that friend and his younger brother would just play halo 3 and do stupid stuff. Soon I lost connection with them. About 2 years later i got an xbox and I got my first halo game halo5. I know people dislike it but I remember one last round with this friend on halo5. It was a classic dule with no end and we laughed almost every time we died. I believe any halo can be fun if you let it. Now with halo infinite trying to right their wrongs I believe that the most important change was split screen. You could play with anyone as long as they were at your house. Halo is always fun... and this video reminds me of it
When I was in middle school back in 2010 when halo reach came out I med a group of guys with my friend that lived down the road and we were all obsessed with halo reach. Stayed with the same group of friends all throughout high school and now in 2024 I don’t talk to those guys very much but every time I talk to anyone in that group it’s like no time has passed. If any of y’all are reading this just know that I cherish the time we spent in halo reach, matchmaking, customs, and forge, all the laughs and us getting mad at eachother. I miss you guys ❤
This made me emotional and happy. Miss the old days. I wonder if we ever played with each other back in the day. Gaming was so amazing back then. It’s not the same anymore. Socializing is just simply not a core for gaming anymore. I used to have no friends in school. Halo 3 and MW2 when I was a kid helped me feel happy and gave me friends. I wish I could go back and thank everyone not knowing that gaming would be where it is today. Thank you all for the memories. I wish the industry changed back.
3, ODST, and Reach were a huge part of my childhood, ive worn a silver halo necklace everyday for almost 10 years now. i stopped playing halo games when 4 came out.
i know its so cringe when ppl say ''they dont make em like they used to'' but they really dont. -RIP- to roosterteeth, and -RIP- to the good old days when life and video games were simple.
This video came up in my recommended (thank you algorithm!) and imagine my surprise when I saw clips from my Halo 2 video at 2:04 and 3:36! I am so glad to know that you enjoyed it, I made that video when I was 17 and I can't believe it was memorable enough for you to include it. Thanks for watching, I subscribed and can't wait to see what else you make!
I met some of my best gaming buddies on halo and after 4 we drifted apart but when everything was on lockdown during the pamdemic and i was laid off i started running custom game lobbies on the mcc and got most of my old buddies back together and made some new friends. Brings a tear to my eye because it was like opening a time capsule back to this time. I miss those days
I feel you brotha. I have had one of those moments recently In infinite, I was going through a hard time this summer and the halo infinite season 5 had just Came out and I hopped in to check it out. Halo ogs all came together to to have fun. Man I miss the reach / 3 days those were the best times ever. But we as the community have to bring that energy back to our beloved game come together as one to show the world what we have once experienced !
I hope this video blows up so people start playing halo more, the game is getting so much better. This video brought me such joy
It’s crazy how special this series is to so many people. I like knowing I wasn’t alone in turning to these games and to the people playing them when times got tough, and knowing so many others did the same. Halo got me through some shit.
Halo has always been something dear to me, I don't play it as much as I used to when I was younger. But, going back and seeing how great it used to be, brings back so much joy back to my young inner self. Halo was and has always been a community I was proud to be a part of.
Many of us reminisce about these times because most of us were young and didn't bare the responsibilities we have now as adults. I was 9 when I played Halo 2 over Xbox Live in 2004, I was in highschool around Halo 3 and Reach. Halo has been with me for a long time. But things change, people move on. I find nostalgia to be bitter sweet.
7:54 I completly understand how you feel. gaming just isnt the same anymore. gamers arnt the same anymore.
i would absolutly love to find a group of people that want to play and just experement and communicate again.
Unfortunately, games are all about the "UA-cam meta" now. Don't lose hope tho, this doesn't mean you can't have fun anymore. You just have to do different stuff to have fun.
Inscredible video - Proper took me back
I didn't have internet or a 360 until 2012, my OG Xbox carried me through 2009. I was still rocking Halo 2 on a CRT TV while most were enjoying online Halo 3 and Reach. I still have that feeling and perspective that no matter how NEW something is that doesn't make it better, yet we have to look forward to the NEW when the best direction is to take what worked and build on that. This new generation of gamers will never understand the fact that content is as only as good as the player can enjoy it and in these trying times no one's simply enjoying gaming. It's a past time to forget and go with the meta. It's not the players and the direction companies are taking to monetize the content but the fact it's the only direction I see it going. I have no hope for the future of gaming it's no longer a past time to enjoy but a paywall you can't afford to miss because the new one is just around the corner, forcing the old out and the new in for a quick buck and a score to reach while nothing is more important. I can't be the only one feeling a sense of hate for gamers, we used to unite in games and form families of content to share, now I only see a wall of money and how fast I can get there.
Halo 2 was my favorite, playing with my giant Xbox controller, my taped together headset, practicing super bounces late into the morning, having people over for lan parties ahhh good times. Sorry to anyone if XxLilGuyxX blew out your eardrums with my squeaky voice. Great video brings back a lot.
Never Forget is such an indescribable track. It evokes emotions that I can't explain. Melancholy? Sadness? Euphoria? I don't know. While I unfortunately wasn't there to see Halo multiplayer in it's prime, I have deep ties to Halo 3 and Never Forget. That main menu still makes me cry upon revisits to the 360 version. Thank you.
You're right about the social aspects of games dying. You ever notice how the games that really blow up nowadays are the ones that really just allow you to have fun with friends. They let you be silly, or stupid, and there isn't a focus on hypercompetitive combat. They just let you goof with friends.
All the battles fought in Matchmaking where moments of bragging rights, glory, trash talking and camaraderie were made and recorded into the fabric of history.
All the laughter and joy custom games gave us and brought us together as friends. All the breath-taking creations in Forge and all the memories forever preserved by theatre will stand as testimony to the golden age of Halo that we got to experience.
And is why I will always be a Bungie Era Halo fan above all else.
Great video! It really hit me right in the feels
Halo 2 and 3 were introduced to me by my dad, and oh boy did they give me soke sweet memories. My dad used to play with me co-op style when i was just 10
I was born shortly after the release of halo 3 i caught the very tail end of when games were like this
I used to watch my dad play games like black ops 1 and 2 halo 3 halo reach and many many more and just have a laugh and talk with everyone else
It was fun to watch and listen to and the few times i got to play and talk it was a blast and i loved it (even if was made fun of for being a squaeker most of the time)
i wish i couldve had more time playing games like halo 3 when they were like this but im happy i have the memories i have even if there are only a handful of them
My dad has not played a video game in 4 years and as far as things are going that number will only rise which saddens me to be honest as he is the one who sparked my love for these games and for the games of that era he is the reason i play these games and enjoy every second of it to this day
Please stop making me feel ancient
@@Gr00t im sorry i really wish i could man
dont worry u didnt miss out on much
I grew up a sony kid we didnt have the xbox, my cousins did though and i spent more time playing halo with my cousin rob and my uncle than anything else for real and ill never forget how close that series is to my heart how it brought my friends and family together. Boy do i miss bungie’s halo i wish 343 would just make cool stuff.
I wish I knew how important the days of halo 3 would be while I experienced them. My friend Josh from down the street had it and we’d just fuck off on custom games and campaign for hours with a little RuneScape sprinkled in. I wish I knew one day I’d never see Josh again. I don’t remember ever being as fulfilled as I was then. I hope you’re doing well Josh.
I remember my older brother, and I taking our Xbox 360 to his friends house to lan party halo 3 three all night. Amazing times. Reach as well was glorious.
This video hits way too close to home. Halo was the best time of my life. It was the only time that my brother didn't hate and we actually got along. My sister and I would play together all the time doing wacky and weird shit. I had friends online that I would talk to a lot (one of them being BioShockingRosie (I miss that Aussie)). We set emblem trends. We built maps together, came up with game types, took hilarious picture s in theater. It was glorious. I am nearing 30 and I miss those days badly. Gaming is not fun anymore because there is no community where we are just trying to have fun and nothing more.
Man, i remember a couple of my closest friends, Moby4life and Willis, with some numbers. I had to quit xbox because of how much stuff was going on at home, and I never got to tell them goodbye. We used to play Reach and Halo 3 RELIGIOUSLY. Custom games, forge, vidmaster achievements, Legendary ODST runs, all nighters just laughing the entire time. I miss those guys.
I mourn the old world so much. I mourn that everyone else chose to make us leave it.
Miss halo reach era halo I had so much fun in BTB back then also infection was hella fun
I might have been three years old when that all happened, but it's only status will not be forgotten
Some of my memories where the custom games from Jenga Tower, Ring of Fire, Fat Kid, Trash Compactor, I was the same many years of my youth where spent as a fan of the Halo series. Right from the beginning since Halo CE was released, unfortunately that feeling is long gone from the series, was once a fun environment to have the chance to experience
Man...things been rough and I been struggling. I appreciate the sentiment for the intro and trying to make sure the viewers are doing ok
We’ll never get anything like this again. We truly lived through the golden age.
It IS the best game! I am glad I could be the one to introduce you to it.
Best game ever!
These days were the best. It took me years to realize that I wasn’t getting these back. Every title after Reach sucked and me along with all my friends are too old now. I still play MCC a ton though!
I feel there's so much of my own perspective to share in a comment, but your video and the rest of comments have explained well enough for me.
When you hopped into the MCC Customs, and exchange words with voices you feel you've known for years.
Same feeling in the mic as all the mid O.G's that hopped onto 360 H3 and Reach for the last days before shut down.
That feeling, almost IS because we were the same people back then, yearning for the same environment nowadays.
There's plenty of chance that you ARE hearing those you've matchmade with years ago, still rocking with us on MCC since it's what's best available.
Just can't beat the feeling of an open mic Halo lobby man.
I never don’t think I would ever have been an engineer if I had never seen the pillar of autumn fly across the screen in CE
Here's to you, all your grizzled old Halo fans who were there in the good old days
I grew up playing og Halo with my brother and we made some great memories, but unfortunately it didn't last long...He committed suicide in 2016 and it broke us deeply and left me really depressed and everytime I saw and played Halo it was really painful, but luckily I broke the cycle and im making something out of myself by becoming hard. If you are struggling for what ever reason I recommend watching people like David Goggins because he changed the way I see myself and the world. It's never too late. Wish everyone the best!
I'd give almost anything to be transported to my eighth grade self, to play with my friends one more time.
1:35 “I don’t think that’ll cause any harm.” -cuts to manscapped ad 😂
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened
Fantastic video, Wheezy. Unlocked some buried memories for me. Some of my fondest memories gaming are on Halo 3 playing ranked and social matches, ridiculous custom ganes like Jenga, Fat Kid, Duck Hunt, etc.
Gaming just isn't the same as it was during the original Halo trilogy. It was a more social time in gaming. People talked, shit talked, made friends through something as simple as some friendly banter during a match or saying "Hey you wanna check out this cool map I made?".
God, I miss the days. I resonated a lot with this video. Seeing the videos you chose in the montage also made me emotional, because I remember seeing all of them when I was this tiny kid in like elementary school. I rarely ever played on Xbox Live, but when I did it was on Halo 3 and Halo Reach with a group of friends who'd invite their friends and it'd be a wild night. People I never spoke to again, people who were just a kid like I was who now have lives like I do. So many things have changed in their lives by now I'm sure, I can't help but wonder if they have the same nostalgia for those days like I do. Days I mostly forgot about until this video put it all back in my head again. Games being social and not overly competitive seems like an age long past, and it makes me sad. I wanna hop on a multiplayer game and have fun with randoms, not worry about winning or being top of the scoreboard or whatever
Thank you for this. Halo 3 was a truly special game. Back then I thought it would never end
My cousin & I had a conversation the other day about how he doesnt feel the same feeling playing halo infinite than he did when we would play halo 3 or halo reach, and I totally agree with him. We used to pull all nighters playing doubles all the time back then. Good times we still play infinite & h3 mcc but it really isnt the same.
I never got to experience halo 2 in its peak or even halo 3 but even playing the originals on CD in 2011 made me feel so happy and was so much fun even with the diminished server sizes. Don’t even get me started how much fun Halo Reach custom games was!
The game introduced me to my neighbour halo 3, odst, reach,halo 4 are some of my best childhood memories.
My uncle used to call it Halo Weach because I would say it like that sometimes as a kid and miss those days of playing ODST/Reach firefight with my dad and uncle.
I got online for the first time in 2008 when Halo 3 was released. my ma only permitted me to play online with my older brother and I was using her Xbox account until I got my own shortly afterwards. In 2010, I got my ma to pre-order me Halo Reach and for the next five years I balanced coming home from school and playing matchmaking on 3 and Reach pretty much every night.
Dammit this one hurts. I'm 35 this month. Played them all since day 1. Lost alot of buddies online and a few in real life. Miss you ERplaya07 and TheOneAndOnlyG RIP
The old games just had a different feeling to them than will never be recreated, it was a different world back then. Even the MCC can’t match it and it’s a collection of those old games.
I feel like I’m one of the few people who feel like gaming was better as a niche, a hobby to have fun. Now I can barely even recognize it
wow this vid made me way more emotional than i expected,
i grew up playing splitscreen online multiplayer halo with my older brother and our friends, we spent so many nights messing around in forgeworld and camping corners in infection. i really hope the next rumored halo entry focuses on the social/casual aspect of halo more than the competitive, (and being feature complete at launch 💀) thank you for the nostalgia trip ❤️
This is some of the truest shit. Thank you, dude. I used to go to the library just to browse machinima videos and it was a great old time. I love OG Halo. Hope to God OG Halo never dies
I remember back with halo 2 and me my brother and dad would play together. Man i miss that
what an amazing video, this brought back so many memories
thank you for the message you put in the video @ 3:45 .. the memories, connections and the people like you make content like this are the reasons why halo will always be the greatest game of all time to me. halo will forever have a special place in my heart
Bungies goodbye& thank you letter to its fans… made me tear up :(
Great video! Halo really holds some amazing memories :)
All the feels in thianks video. Thanks so much for making it brother, brings me back and shows me its the right path to play and remember these games especially Halo. It honestly changed my life for the better with friendship's and experiences.
Man...just watching it made me split a tier and laughing i had so many freinds playing this and seeing it gone .... Nothing in this world last forever but playing this game was the first time , ill never forget that feeling, it made me think that this game would be the first time that something would last for eons...but now all i have... Is memories ...feelings of what was beautifully crafted and even though I was never there for the releases i still was happy to be apart of this community ... But now every time when I get that same sense of nostalgia from these videos which I truly love i always find myself back in tears ...but at least it was fun ...yeah at least it was fun...
This video made me emotional, but in a very good way. So thank you very much for making it!
gladly i found this channel randomly ngl. The stuff you say and wrote were really needed rn. I miss this times so much, not just for halo but also for not beeing grown up without any responsebilities etc etc. Its crazy how the time moved towards and is playing against us all. My brain is still stuck around the reach era where i was around 15-16~ and that diddnt changed at all, my body gets older yet my brain and and character doesnt.
Really underrated channel, love the topics you cover and your editing style, too. Earned yourself a sub.
Classic Halo still means so much to me that I'm willing to spend hundreds of hours of my free time developing mods for the games.
While being a big fan of Halo, I really didn't play the game enough during its "glory days" as I was more of a Nintendo kid back then.
Halo MCC has become one of my favourite games of all time and I really hope 343i haven't stopped developing the game.
I appreciate watching this video I’m going through a really hard heartbreak and this video reminded me of all the memories I have playing games in general like Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 and how nostalgic those times were and still are!! It remains with us for the rest of our lives and us as people has made history playing these awesome games we love and enjoy!! It’s our place to go to get away and escape from the world and be happy!! Even for a moment!! But those moment memories last forever permanently no matter what!! 🦅🦅🔥🔥
Halo - a game which was created by passionate developers who also loved the game like it was one of their own children. A game which they wanted their players to enjoy. Not to sweat and abuse people like games today. 2007 was a simpler time. It was all about creating memories and enjoying what we had.
4 years old playing halo 2 7 years old playing halo 3 rest is history now i play halo with my boyfriend this series means alot for me (ps bf was a friend so theres more history with halo i met the love of my life with thia series.)
Moving on from Halo Infinite was the best decision of my life. I'm playing Reach and 3 through the power of MCC and even the 360 version even if the servers are dead now for old times' sake.
Your take on Halo 3 - this is the game the franchise should have kept building off of. I 100% agree. It’s the best Halo that’s been made, by a wide margin. I still think it holds up today in many ways. I do hope 343 takes Halo back to the roots…Halo 3 was the greatest.
I was a COD fan back then. Only played hardcore playlists too. Never liked halos high health, vehicles and power weapons in multiplayer. But I really respected the game. I understood, even from afar, how much time, passion and love were put into them. I eventually did play the halo campaigns after ODST came out and I wanted to play firefight. I even got my dad to try them out and he hates gaming. I love how much passion these 2 franchises envoke in people. I salute all you Spartans out there, sad to see both our franchises die. But I would like to end this comment with a little advice. Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading
growing up during this time just hit different. being 10 in 2008 and experiencing this. you can watch the videos, you can remince, but to get what it was like you just had to be there
