As a combat-wounded amputee, this really hit home. That was extremely touching and real. Thank you for portraying the humanity in us warriors. I’m over 30 now and have been playing/reading Halo stories since I was a kid.
EDIT, adding more detail: I lost 4 brothers in combat the day I lost my legs. I’ve said the same thing to 4 sets of parents. 343 seriously must have some amazing people on the story writing team.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service!!!
thanks for your service brother
Thank you for your brave service!
Thank you for all your sacrifices, brother.
That was emotional! I love it. Narratively exploring the components of Master Chiefs armor piece by piece. I am a Happy 00.
Love your in depth scientific vids bruh! From a fellow science guy himself! Keep it up!
Hello Mr.00! Just wanna say I love your videos and keep up the good work! Also what would you think of a halo game based entirely during the forrunner flood war?
if only you could find 2 marines to steal some shield tech for YOUR armor that would be sweet.
YESS
Expecting a full breakdown of the Jackel shield next
“It’s just a game” but this honestly probably relates to veterans. This trailer is called unspoken but I am speechless
Very fitting that Veterans Day is about a week away. Either way, great video.
Everyone is mad because he's black
@@JohnDoe-bh2lp I haven't seen a single person comment on it, besides you.

The feels are hitting me like it did with the "Humanity's Museum" trailer from Halo 3. The marketing team is killing it !!!

@@chibanni14 shallow much?
This gives me heavy Halo 3 Believe vibes. Just like the soldiers in the museum, holding the Covenant weapons. Ya love to see it👏🏻
I was thinking the same thing
Believe
Become
That'd be the perfect ending to Halo. Instead it ending with Chief. Ending it with the Soldier at the Meusem
I was thinking the same thing! Believe.
This did a rare and special thing: it took something we take for granted in the games and gave it emotional weight. I plan to be lost in Infinite’s story, but I like to think every now and then when I hear my shields recharge I’ll take a moment in the back of my mind to think “Thanks, David.”
There’s always Hero’s in war but sometimes you have to give your life for something that’s bigger then your self. Heroes can get lost in history but your legend and courage lives on in those that knew you. Heroes do more then save people. They give us hope and courage to fight and rebuild.
bro why this comment almost make me cry. god damn.. thank you David.
Thanks David.
David Dominguez put it down. RIP compadre
Thank you David.
Wonderful storytelling! I can't wait to see what comes next!
Your the best halo cannon keep going
Same! Trailers like this are what we need to build the hype up.
@@josephc3549 fax spitting zone identified
YES IM SO EXCITED GOOD STORY AND GAMEPLAY IS A MUST
I Agree. Although can we get another season of HUNT THE TRUTH. Some of the best Halo Storytelling in my opinion.
The armor suits you... but you should never hide its mark. The armor you wear is a testament to sacrifice. From those who died during its testing to those who sacrificed to bring its components to bear...
The suit is forged from titanium... but it is tempered in blood.
The brute called it a tomb... and _he is right._ It is a tomb of unknown soldiers - a monument to hope and loss - guarded by the sentinel who resides within.
It represents all they gave and all they were. It represents what you must give... and what you must *become.*
Damn
Holy shit, well writen!
I wonder if they are gonna do one of these trailers about the poor unaugmented people that tried to test the armor... probably not.
That was brilliant written, and should be used at some point in canon, if you ask me.

It's this OC? If so, damn.
The fact that I don’t even know them… and I already care about this character and “ David “ GOOD JOB 343, the characterization is so well written, really bringing us back to the halo 3 level marketing days
David was the man!

"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 can't believe he's gone
@@thefamily8655 “were it so easy”
Ooh-Rah 🥺😭
Who are you quoting?
@@MarquisCrawl Lord Hood. Right now in Halo lore, the head of all UNSC forces.
It puts into perspective how long it took the UNSC to develop energy shields for Spartans even with the Jackal shield technology. The date in the top right said January 17th 2526, and it wasn't really till the 2550's that Spartans got energy shields if I'm not mistaken. Yes things like the prototype suit and sabers had shields but all of that was still long after this recording.
Edit: I really love the detail that his voice is a bit robotic sounding while the program is still reconstructing his voice, and that robotic quality goes away once the reconstruction is complete.
They used the tech for Red Team's shields in Halo Wars as early as 2531. The tech wasn't fully ready until later though, that's true.
The music and narration gave me so many chills, Beautiful stuff

Was a medic in the Army, ended up getting medically retired after getting injured while in Afghanistan. Lost brothers over there and parts of me I won't get back. Grew up playing Halo with my pops and friends. I never thought something they would make would hit this hard. Thank you for putting into words how many of us feel and showing the humanity inherent in all of us.
Till Valhalla, brother. You live on in their name.

I'm glad that 343i is trying to show the side of a marines emotional turmoil. This feels like a true successor to bungie's halo games. Good job, 343!
What I find, bungie wrote great stories and characters and showed you the bravery of the marines so much better than in halo 4 and 5, but 343 can show you the emotional side of the lesser characters so much better than most of the major ones. This is legit why everyone loves the marines they are normal, down to earth people who went through hell for humanity
My friend when he sees them: ha ha assume rifle go brrrr
Fun fact, HALO CE was the only game bungie planned to do, so really there is no real story from original planns of bungie.
and in 343 are the same workers that were on bungie.
@@Splarkszter and on top they’re the employees of that decided that they’d wanna work on halo instead of Destiny.
Yeah gives off heavy halo 3 vibes with the marketing
Showed this to my friend’s dad. Who is a retired marine. He cried remembering how he had to tell his friend’s family of the sacrifice his friend made. This most definitely hits close to home for veterans
Love the storytelling, excited to see where this leads in the next month
Yup 343 seem to understand what us halo fans want. So excited!!!
Love your vids
@@kaiTeijin194
Agreed
@@Enfei mint blitz is an avid grass toucher
Gotta give props to the actor. Despite not visibly speaking he sells the emotion they are trying to invoke in you.

@@RoboThePanda was going to say the same thing, his speech WAS visible. That's how sign language works
only direct translators are emotionless
the deaf and the interpreters know that their face is half the message
THIS is why I always try to save marines in every game. The story is not just about super soldiers... It's about the relenting human spirits.
same
Same here. Even if I so much accidentally shoot a marine I reload the checkpoint.
This didn't need to hit as hard as it did, but it did. And that performance was great.
Almost forgot that this was related to a game where I can throw a sticky bomb onto an alien and then t-bag his body.
Heh. Also bumped those likes to 117, even better.
This is a really good return to Halo’s live action trailer’s it’s always been a way of telling small stories within the universe of Halo and you guys have really learned so much and I’m glad you now fully understand what makes Halo special and the fact that everyone at 343 is working so hard to get even the smallest of details right.
i’m such a sucker for their whole grey and gritty, super-serious vibe.
they’ve been at it for 20 years, and it gets me every time; has me nostalgic for the ad campaign for Halo 3 and Reach
Exactly
It's not just that it's the smaller stories but that it's the human stories. While I understand lots of people don't become invested in the universe, having this levity really is what makes this series special compared to others. The human nature of the characters is what binds not only the UNSC but the world as a whole. Having the stories that remind us what Chief is fighting for makes us want him to succeed even more.
@@vzerby
Exactly! They actually feel human and I can’t quite think about how many franchises get that right
Plot twist: It wasn’t a jackal that killed him, master chief drove off a cliff after telling him he was safe.
likes are at 117
I love it. Every piece of Chief, from his armor, to his genetic upgrades, to his shield, is the result of humanity's toil and sacrifice to fight back the Covenant. Every single aspect of him was fuelled by humanity's strife for survival. It really makes him feel like Humanity's champion; its last hope.
Belive
Chief is the representation of humanity's will and perseverance
I'm reminded of that meme with all those bloodied WW1 soldiers holding a married couple in an idyllic field up on their shoulders
Except instead of an idyllic field it's blood gulch, and instead of a married couple it's the master chief t-bagging blue team
Never realized, that all these people gave their lives to create the ultimate Avatar of Human defiance and hope...
The Spartan IIs were originally created to fight humans. To fight against the insurrectionists who were rebelling against the Unified Earth Government. The timing was just lucky that first contact with the Covenant on Harvest happened after they were created.
I need to read the books again tbh.
This is the spiritual sequel to the Halo 3 "Believe" marketing campaign, it has the same intensely personal and emotional feeling to it as those clips did all the way back in 2007.
You're doing amazing 343.
An actor I don't know, playing a character I'm not familiar with, talking about a fictional marine I've never heard of just generated so much emotion. It's incredible what can be accomplished through art when you simply care about what it is you're creating.
That's what art does for me - the infinite capability to form emotion through medium is beautiful
This was a masterpiece of storytelling.
343 Went from producing 2-dimensional characters like Fireteam Osiris (minus Buck) to making us heavily feel for characters we literally just got introduced to, like the pilot of Echo 216 and this marine veteran
YEEEESSS! Thank you! As a film maker, I approve
To David Dominguez and Chris Preston, two that gave so much in the name of humanity; that took the Promethean's fire that helped our strongest warriors endure our darkest hour.
This connects Halo with real military like classical Halo was.
This is why I love the Halo series. So much back story, so much detail. So much... Humanity.
You said it perfectly.
And then recent campaigns that take massive dumps on all of it.
This is the "Believe" ad for a new generation of gamers, and for halo. I think we forget that many people will grow up to look back on these ADs, like when we look back on believe.
Never looked at it like that. . . . . Sad how time passes
Lol no not even close
@@cryptochris9001 Congrats on being wrong.
This just gave me chills.
David Dominguez, may you rest in peace. If it weren't for your and Lance Corporal Preston's heroic efforts, those aliens would have wiped humanity out in the early 2550's.
BatChest
Feeling for characters, even if you don’t know them, is what Halo’s done so greatly in the past. This is beautiful, 343.
Showed this to my 14 year old, at the end he looks at me, looking hyped, and says "are you CRYING?". I mean I am, but I don't know why. Maybe it's the music, maybe it's that I have hope for this franchise again, maybe it's because I'm recovering from a near-death car vs. pedestrian accident. All of it, probably. Cherish the good stuff, guys. You just never know.
same feels, but with my depression, really puts you in perspective and makes you realize others been through worse, veterans in the real world... survivors of pain, mind or war, we all can relate , i think thats the power of being older, mature and of loving halo.
@@marcoantoniorojasrodriguez4875 Remember, just because others have gone through worse, doesn’t mean you are not important. But don’t let those thoughts take over or believe in them. Remember God put you on this earth for a reason. To God you are someone he is proud of creating, that is why you exist, to give glory to him by living here and doing his will. And as far as those depressive thought, The Bible says to stay alert, for the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Don’t let him win. In a place where you are alone, with thanksgiving, pray to God for help and humbly repent and he promises he will answer if you believe he will do it.
The way they manage to create so much emotion about the death of just one marine, while the whole story is being told by an emotionless computer voice... amazing.
I really love it when they explore the 'human' side of the UNSC.
There is always an unspoken human cost in war, even in a just war like the Human Covenenant War where humanity fought to avoid extinction there was countless bloodshed and sacrifice.
This is real storytelling
The actor really carries this. Fantastic juxtaposition of the emotional expressions with the calm computer-generated voice.
I wouldn’t exactly call the voice emotionless. It carried its own.
Hunt the Truth was Amazing. H5 wasn't. I hope they carry this energy over into the game
This guy is a great actor. In less than 4 minutes you could feel what he's going through and his emotions.
Through a simultaneous but separate voice and physical performance no less.
Bravo.
And he didnt need emotion in his words to show how he was feeling
exactly what i was thinking its like he was really there
They probably casted a deaf actor for the physical performance and a voice actor that fits with him. Deaf folk communicate heavily with body language and facial expressions in addition to the sign language, so it would only be natural to cast someone that's deaf.
Actions speak louder than words.
Chief is the culmination of humanity’s collective sacrifice for hope
I actually teared up at this. These are the exact emotions I'm looking for in Halo, 343 is really nailing it this time!
😂
@@paradoxeffect1819 I’m guessing you have no emotions
brah chill, it's just a video game. Cry at real war stories, not this cringe corporate crap
Same I had tears on edges of my eyes as well this is what halo needs emotions not cod action
@@Eshayzbra96 What got me was that this is a fantasy story of some real life war experiences. Stuff like this happens for real, and it's a great touch to see the sides of the marines who risk their lives just as much as a Spartan Super Soldier does. It did what it needed to do, invoke emotion.
i have truly missed these live action halo trailers
How can you miss something that wasn't ever gone? Every game in the series since Halo 3 has had these
@@Fallentoast345 it wasnt as impactful to how it was then
@@Fallentoast345 he's on about how it's been years since we last had one. E.g. Halo 5 was years ago. I gey what he means as the live action trailers are nostalgic as hell and bring back memories
@@Fallentoast345 Yeah, but these are different. We haven’t had ones like this since Reach.
@@ZillennialJ Tbf Halo 5 had really good marketing as well. Hunt the Truth was awsome. It was all ruined when the actual game came out though.
I can not believe that such a simple piece of promotional material delivered such a plethora of emotion that I was brought to tears. I'd thought that these stories and feelings could only move me through long and patient delivery, but the execution of this clip was so wonderfully done. I'm proud to live to see Halo become what it was to me again, and to see you all at 343 make it so. Thank you.
This game has a FANTASTIC marketing team behind it
Funny how not to long ago everyone was saying we have a terrible marketing team 😂 what impatience can do to a man huh
@@Daduu I dont think it was impatience, I think they were embarised that they were about to release a unfinished product to the world and marketing it as something finished would be false advertising. Glad they delayed it a year.
It has been a barren wasteland up to this point
I mean its good but it'd be fantastic if it didn't start basically a month before launch
@@stealthhunter6998 no it's talking about like a month ago they were complaining
This will be game of the year. WATCH
Halo gonna be too late to get nominated for GOTY canidate this year due to releasing in December and the awards show start on December 15th or 16th it will most likely get picked as a candidate next year but I doubt it will win 2022 due the huge amount of triple A titles next year
It wont. Sadly. Even then, these trailers dont resemble the game. We'll have to play first to see how good it actually is.
Doubt
GOTY awards are rigged.
@@chromtastic2092 I believe it’s actually on the 9th, the day after Infinite releases which is really unfortunate.
Representation without it being ham-fisted. Doing it in sign language was such a good idea, I love it.
It's really not hard to have representation without being hamfisted, it's just a matter of not doing something, as well as not having an overrepresentation of what would logically exist in a situation. The sign language was a good choice for this short since it gave it a little more flavor than just a guy recording a death message in a room.
It's super ham-fisted. The marine being disabled makes no sense with the tech we see here and the tech that is Canon to the halo universe.
Can't believe it... They're actually giving me flashbacks of the Believe campaign.
Outstanding. The hype is real!
This is it guys. This is the final stretch until Halo Infinite's release.
But this time we're looking back into the past to see how we got here, not forward into the future to see where we're going.
I havent felt chills like this in so long… its like welcoming an old friend.
Halo 3 Believe feels man!
I literally just kept getting chills the entire time they wouldn't stop, That was incredible.
Everyone who worked on this video must be proud of themselves. The music, writing, acting, visuals were all solid
Thank you David. You're the reason I could beat Halo on Laso. 🙏
xD David died in vain tbh. The shields in LASO wouldnt even recharge unless you beat enemies down.
The talented actor, his choreography ressembling powerful dance moves, the tragic of the whole scene, the music...
Came here not ready to feel nearly as much as the pre-Halo 3 trailer.
Felt a lot anyway.
That was British Sign Language, I'm pretty sure.
@@ChoonMa Indeed
@@ChoonMa yeah Gideobvious it was well... obvious for everybody, including me. But sign language can be as stoic or as emotional (and everything in-between) as spoken language can be :) Don't go thinking now that I believe a human AI can watch a marine having a seizure and deduct from it : "this man in distress obviously is signing me his last message to his loved ones and the names of the lucky ones in his will" what would then be the point of retrieving Cortana if such an advanced, cheeky soab of an AI was common amongst the UNSC ?
@@odeon6139 true. I wasn't trying to criticize. Just provide some more insight to go along with your comment.
@@ChoonMa no worries, I wasn't on the defensive or trying to insult you but your comment was a too good of an opportunity to pass to reply :) anyway as long as we can remain amiable and civil while t-bagging the hell out of one another on the GriffBall arena it's all that matters
The emotion shown in his face and with his hands deserves an accolade, I don't know who he is but I would watch anything he's in... This type of thing here is why Halo feels more than a game when it's done right!
Jamal Ajala, I believe is his name. My gf didn't recognize it as ASL, and based on what I could find of him, might be British Sign Language. He did a great job -- and hope I'm crediting correctly.
Taking into account that the video entry is logged on 2526 (in the early days of the covenant-human conflict), I just LOVED the little detail of the old uniform of the UNSC (Halo wars & HW 2 style) the marine is wearing!
A story of a guy who I haven’t heard of before and I was tearing up, you lot are amazing at what you do.
Damn, but this just makes me want a game where you play as normal marines trying to support master Chief like odst.
That would be sick, seeing master chief fight a brute or elite on the side while youre taking in jackals and grunts like youre a side character on dragon ball z and gokus powering up.
Well it could come true as infinite is the last mainline halo title for a while
ODSTs are hardly normal marines. They're the closest thing an adult volunteer could be a to a spartan before the Spartan-IV program.
Yeah halo needs a triple AAA story based side game. Maybe 3rd person horror style.
Yeah this was really beautiful. Really excited to see more of these 👏

@@zanzanman8755 lmao accurate asf
A hero can be anyone even one Marine can make a difference
just like private jenkins in Halo 1
"One grain can tip the scales, one soldier can change the outcome ! When a man stops fleeing and turns back, victory changes sides"
Hundreds of marine made a difference in the ark, were that long term war ended
The actors they chose, and probably the director of the shorts too, did an excellent job delivering a really emotional, heart-wrenching performance. These are really something. I know it's only halo, but these characters expertly, dramatically express the core of what they're feeling, and these are feelings we all can identify with at an almost primal level. Well done!

The Covenant was and remains terrifying beyond belief.
As a super soldier in a power fantasy, you don't quite understand the pure horror of facing these literal *aliens* in battle.
Sangheili (Elites) - 7 ft 4 in-8 ft 6 in. Incredibly agile bipedal reptilians with surprising strength and musculature. Their energy shields allowed them to easily reach close quarters combat with the average marine, martial arts being a style of combat the majority of their species was trained in since the day they could stand. Their four mandibles, clawed tetradactyl hands (two opposable thumbs per hand), and digitigrade legs (backwards facing knees) made them an extremely monstrous sight to behold and their lethal plasma-based weaponry very uncomfortable for humans to hold. Indigo blood.
Jiralhanae (Brutes) - 8 ft 6 in-9 ft 2 in. Extremely muscular and powerful beasts, a combination of bears, rhinos, and gorillas with even larger stature. Possibly based on the mythical giant man-eating humanoid beast, Grendel. They have evolved massive fangs and claws. Despite their primal ferocity, they can possess human-grade intelligence, allowing them to create ballistic and explosive weapons that crack bone and impale flesh. They are known to rip the severely undersized marines limb from limb and sometimes release tortured prisoners of war to chase them down in a hunt and eat them alive. Purplish-red blood.
Mgalekgolo (Hunters) - 12 ft 1 in-12 ft 3 in. Behemoth amalgamations of dozens to hundreds of dog sized alien worms. Sporting a nanolaminate (Covenant spaceship hull armor) shield the size of a man on one arm and an embedded explosive fusion gel explosive weapon on the other, even a squad of marines has little hope of taking on these walking tanks. The worst part: they always come in pairs. When one of these "bond brothers" is killed the other begins to berserk. They could flatten a human head or rib cage beneath their foot. To vocalize, the gestalt vibrates all of the worms together to create a low frequency noise that is more so felt than heard. Phosphorescent orange blood.
Yanme'e (Drones) - 5.83 ft-6.75 ft. Human-sized coleopteran (beetle-like) insects with four proportionate wings and guns. Their compound bioluminescent eyes give them incredible vision. They communicate through high-pitched clicking noises and, occasionally, through the rubbing of their wings. Often encountered in large, flying swarms, Yanme'e tended to construct massive, building sized hives on human colonies, typically underground, during a Covenant invasion, in a matter of hours. Made with a variety of materials including but not limited to mud, wood, saliva, and feces, these house a hyper-intelligent queen quite possibly the size of a truck. Yanme'e are known to fly over their enemies and pick them up with their enemies with their sharp feet or hands to either bring to their hive to be eaten alive or drop to their death. Light-green blood.
Kig-Yar (Jackals and Skirmishers) - 6 ft 2 in-6 ft 8 in. Slightly taller than the average human, these birdlike-saurian boast three diverse subspecies. Ruutian (Halo 1-3: ODST/Reach/Infinite jackals) and Ibie’shan (Halo 4-5: Guardians jackals) are the two most commonly encountered subspecies, both tending to wield large, circular, and resilient energy shield gauntlets on their wrist, though may also be encountered without the shields but with a larger plasma-based sniper weapon instead; their enhanced senses makes them frighteningly adept marksmen. These two subspecies are known to possess energy cutlasses in case an enemy gets too close. The third subspecies, T’vaoan (skirmishers) are much more agile then the former ones, allowing them to make leaps to incredible heights and sprint around their opponents quickly. Some ranks of this subspecies will possess smaller energy gauntlets on each wrist. All three are nimble and predatory. Their razor-sharp teeth and claws allow them to kill humans with ease, of which they will then devour. Light-purple blood.
Unggoy (Grunts) - The only known Covenant species that is shorter than the average human. However, they often reach the height of the typical marine. They are somewhat akin to crustaceans, sporting a rigid exoskeleton with numerous barbs and protrusions, though they also have some skin exposed. Unlike the rest of the Covenant species, they breathe methane gas instead of oxygen, so their armor includes a large backpack extending off of them to store methane that feeds into their face masks. Though typically cowardly and unthreatening alone, the Unggoy reproduce at alarming rate, with 5-12 offspring per egg clutch, each one only taking 5-8 years to reach adulthood. As a result, they are deployed in mass numbers that can quickly overwhelm even the strongest the UNSC has to offer. They are also known to be extremely violent, with the first UNSC casualty of the Human-Covenant War being Harvest militiaman who had his stomach ripped out by a paranoid Unggoy’s claws. Phosphorescent light-blue blood.
A single bolt from a plasma weapon could burn a hole through a human body if not protected by armor. Covenant ships possessed extremely durable energy shielding and several enormous energy projectors that could reduce a planet’s surface and human’s body to glass in an instant. Especially in the latter half of the war, the Covenant had an insane numerical advantage in vessels, personnel, and raw materials.

@@KillerOrca ASL originates from French Sign Language, and is basically an entirely separate language from BSL
Makes me almost feel like the “Believe” trailers are back. More emotional and hyped than ever before.
Halo hasn't made me cry like this since the end of Halo 4. REALLY good marketing!!!
This gave me the halo 3's "believe" ads vibe
This truly is an example of the phrase “you can’t please everyone”. @halo you would know that better than most. Y’all did a fantastic job on this trailer, it’s the perfect amount of giving fans more lore without spoiling anything plus a beautiful nod to the contents of Halsey’s Journal from over 10 years ago. The music is amazing, the acting is extremely well done, and the fact that y’all are listening to us and care about little details like this says a lot. Thank you.
I really Looove the direction that this new advertising Campaign is taking and how it allows us to take a step back and look the Halo Universe as a whole; telling other people stories of Honor, Valor and Courage and showing how anyone's actions (not just Spartans and the Master Chief himself) can Become the catalyst of change and spark the seeds of Hope even in the most remote places.
It really ties up greatly with the theme of Become and how the Multiplayer side of things will tell the story of each player's own Spartan. It also gives depth to the rest of the Characters in the Halo Universe Campaign that make us care about them and invest in the immersion.
I really like and am hyped for this new era of Halo and the Stories that are about to unfold in the next 10 years.
In 2007, Bungie's Halo 3 made us BELIEVE.
In 2021 343's Halo Infinite will make us HOPE and BECOME.
BECUM
In Halo Infinite you can become (cyberpunk 2077 music)
This has to be one of the best, most emotional pieces of Halo media that there is. Well done, 343, well done.
That was just beautiful. The concept of being able to convert his voice from sign language. The heartbreaking and even the similarity of reality our own soldiers go through. The way you can infer how David's parents would watch and react to this. I damn near cried, and I've never cried over watching things like this.
I’m not going to lie. I haven’t felt this close to the verge of crying over something related to Halo since Cortana’s sacrifice and goodbye at the end of Halo 4. 🥺
No, I... We go together.
; :
Same!!
Easily one of, if not, the saddest death in the franchise so far.
Don't get me wrong, I love and miss Johnson dearly but... Man, Cortana's death just hits hard every time for me.
this almost feels like a spiritual successor to landfall, since it shares that same theme of people sacrificing everything to make master chief just a tiny bit stronger.
Both my parents are deaf and I had to show them this trailer after i saw the signing.
We all love this. It's so nice to see Deafness recognised in any way.
If you don’t mind me asking, did the signing match the spoken word, or was it gibberish?
@@grahamrich9956 From the little understanding I have of sign language, it looked like it matched up.
@@grahamrich9956 it matched. It's honestly incredible the effort they put into this 2 min trailer.
@@jjnich4915 ok that is great to hear!
@@crazy338866 that is awesome that they matched up!
Bruh the way the digital voice stuttered like it was translating the dudes emotion alongside his words
God the emotions in the mans face, the music and the voice combined made for a heart wrenching video that absolutely breaths the emotions of Halo, the deaths of millions of humanity, the endless sacrifices of thousands of heroes and the pain of those who survived through it all. This reminds me so much of the same heart stabbing emotions in the "Believe" series of trailers. Brovo, absolute brovo!
I really hope this piece of music is on the soundtrack. Since this about the armours shields, I hope we get a story for each component
_Making us consider the weight of what we are. Remembering and acknowledging those who died to make Master Chief what he is, to make us (the player) what we are to the lives of all these comrades in arms. In their conviction and belief in our capacity to save humanity, they gave themselves to ensure hope...now it's time to return the favor, it's time to _*_Become_*_ ..._
343, wonderful storytelling you're doing here.
Soon, dude, we will return the favor to the last one of all the lives who give it everything to stop the covenant and put a end to that war
Become Human
“Dear miss and mister (insert name), your son/daughter was melee’d in the back by the Master Chief for his sniper rifle. Give the UNSC your next born for service”
Lmao man, I stopped crying and bursted into laughing what's your problem
@@thegotdamnuhtheuhhh Don't lie, we've all done it at least twice.
Playing Halo 3 on legendary yesterday, the mission where you have to take out scarabs with marines on mongooses. Holy shit it was infuriating. They die instantly, kill themselves and you, and can't aim for shit. That mission....
@@ThePokemon11 I genuinely never did. In reality, I tried protecting the NPCs as much as possible. Painful though.
WDYM? Ain't all Halo MPs (at least post-Halo 4) SIMULATION PROGRAMS?? Hence why they canonically justify Forge existing, and all that shit
something i dont see people talking about more is the music. its amazing and just helps you move through the story, alot like the music from halo 4 and 5. wish to see more of this music in infinite.
Leave it to Microsoft and 343 to come up with something so creative and moving. I felt his pain watching this. Even though he is acting. It sure as hell didnt feel like it. Very VERY, well done. And what a performance from the actor. Actually made me cry. Thanks for this wonderful* video. Halo for ever! See you all in Infinite!!
Never would have expected 343 to have me crying at 5am in the morning.
This marketing campaign is definitely becoming reminiscent of Halo 3's "Believe" Campaign
Nah ya think all halo games have these things called VI DOCS shiiiitttttttttttttt were you raised in a cave?
@@daymenleo6895 Were you raised in a natural cave?Don't think so!
You know why this is perfect? It makes me want to know and feel and experience so much more of this universe. Thank you for making this and sharing more of the amazing story behind master chief and the UNSC as a whole.
The acting of this guy is incredible. I teared up watching his face during the story.
I love that 343 is taking the more emotional route to create their characters! It’s much better than “this person is part of the UNSC, they are the good guys” or something like that. It’s something else…
Man, this hits surprisingly hard. Major "Believe" vibes.
That's how you know this is a more appropriate sequel than Halo 4 and 5.
@@gabethebabe3337 I totally agree, although I love Halo 4 still

Become.
This man destroyed me in his first thirty seconds on screen. Legit cried into my Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Got damn he can act!
Breathtaking story-telling and marketing. This is a game about Humanity. I love the representation of us all, and I mean us all. Halo has always been my favorite, and now I truly feel like it will be many others'.
Reminds me of the halo 3 trailers. Love it 343
What is so great about this in comparison to the old halo 3 promotionals is the fact that here Master Chief is only mentioned in writing, the true story is about the sacrifices of the marines. This is a great progression.
In the Halo 3 promotional videos, Chief is described like a god among men, the ultimate saviour, and it fits with the theme of the first trilogy, Master chief being the sole hero, someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty and risks it all in order to save humanity.
Whereas here, the marines sacrifice is highlighted ( which it was in the old videos aswell), but in a way where chief is not the sole hero, they got that tech while doing something else, it just happened to be a breakthrough, and what they really were fighting for was humanity and humans. Considering Halo 4, 5 and the overall direction 343 is taking, it seems like they want to stray away from the overglorification of Chief and show a more human side to him, his personal fight with Cortana and his struggles of emotional attachment which extends to showing the stories of marines and their hardships.
The end goal is always protecting humanity, but now it is not shown as "Finish this big fight in order to save humanity", now we see the small struggles, a detailed look at how the UNSC is fighting for humanity, and what the cost of that fight is, both for Master Chief and the marines.
The music is incredible. Thank you 343 for understanding what the community looks for in halo. Stories about humanity defying the odds and the cost of doing so
Genuinely mind-blown after watching this.
It is really not that often that a game makes you feel genuine emotion, in spite of what people say, but I actually welled up watching this, emotionally shattering in the best way. Well done to the team that made it.
Play the mass effecr trilogy
@@Kawasaki10rr I have played it, many times, and it’s great, not saying that emotion doesn’t happen in games, just that often in reviews and stuff, people talk about how characters and storylines gave them the feels, and then I don’t get the same experience out of them, maybe I’m made out of cement, I don’t know. I think people just sort of overplay the emotion card in games, but this moved me, and I know it’s technically not a game, it’s a promo video, but if something from the halo universe can choke me up they’re definitely doing something right.
love the ASL representation 🦾
May i ask what ASL stands for? I’m sorry if this comes across as rude or neive

This song 💜
Edit: OMG, did I really just cry watching an in-universe trailer? You’re really killing it this time 343i, I truly Believe...
Double edit: I know the Tagline is “Become” but this reminds me soo much of the Halo 3 ad campaign that I couldn’t help but say “Believe”
Or Deliver Hope. And yes that score is Gorgeous
@@z3nirrelevant
In my opinion deliver hope had a more somber tone to it as well as a sense of struggle for a losing battle, where as this song brings a sense of melancholy and hope 😊
Could you tell me the name of the song? Please, if you know 😭
Well i mean noble 6 1.0 died in it lol it was a little more somber for sure. And Kat losing her arm. Also none of the characters in it had great endings. All of Reach is just 7 samurai lol
This genuinely brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderfully acted short.
This game is going to have an amazing campaign
