@@raptorjesus3894 What's horrible about it is that she actually does start giving something approximating actual tactical commands before disappearing through a door.
I like that frog, as Chief, takes the time to stop and admire the first flood infection the game gives you. I have an image in my head of Master Chief pulling out a note pad and commentating “ah, yes. Fascinating. This is really excellent, well done.”
Halo 3 has always been one of my favorite campaigns because I played it with my brother and he was always master chief so I got to play the arbiter. Arbiter = Giga Chad.
I hate the library, but once you get in the rhythm you can pretty much get to the end without stopping. This line will contain my thoughts on cortana after my "trilogy-legendary-with-a-few-skulls-on" run is complete
In the Library at least you have something to do. It's genuinely more fun than Halo (level 2 in CE) in terms of replay value for me. Halo 2 has a lot of gondolas and Halo 3 has.. cortana interruptions, and overall I find both of those much worse than the repetitiveness of CE in general.
In hindsight I think it would have been cooler if in Halo 4 and 5 Cortana’s rampancy dealt with traces of the Gravemind showing up in her as she started losing control

You can feel the absence of Joe Staten in the writing of this game. But still a great conclusion for an amazing trilogy, and the definitive ending for the Halo saga as a whole. FORERUNNERS WERE ANCIENT HUMANS
Yet in the terminals it was clearly hinted at they were different species. Why did they decide to have the way the story and the terminals treat them be inconsistent
@@ok-bj8un in one, singular terminal, written by frank o connor, that actively contradicts the other terminals and the entire rest of the game, written by the actual writers.
@@rustyshovel7179 I guess so. Very much prefer the split between forerunners and ancient humanity though. I like the concept of modern humanity stemming from the forcibly devolved remains of a once highly technologically advanced species.
I love Halo 3's campaign (except Cortana, of course), but the interruptions from Cortana and the Gravemind hurts replayability. That's really only something that is engaging once, then it becomes a hindrance.
Removing the Cortana/Gravemind slowdowns in my H3 mod was one of the best things I did. Wasn't even hard and rarely causes real problems. Also addressed some of the other problems here. I just wish I could back in time to help "fix" H3 before it came out. What's said and done is just that though: modding is the best way to take action and "give back" to this game that means so much to me. Anyways, nice vids. :) Been watching you a while and I've been thoroughly entertained by most of them. I shall watch your career with great interest. :)
What are the reasons people don’t like Tsavo Highway? It’s in the top half of the levels for me in halo 3. A) it’s visually beautiful. Coming out of the dark cave system to be greeted by the golden African plains with the collapsed space elevator and half-excavated Ark portal is a fantastic moment B) fun frantic vehicle combat sections that introduced one of my favorite vehicles the chopper C) that huge ship that goes “KCHUEEWWWWW” over your head is awesome D) the whole level (as well as most of halo 3) feels like you are the unstoppable force the covenant fear you as puncturing straight through covenant forces that thought they’d won with your group of marine followers
Tbh I never really realised until fairly recently but the halo 3 story and writing is really shitty, probably the worst story from the bungie era even if the levels themselves were pretty good
That final cutscene with Master Chief and Cortana is my favorite cutscene of the series. Perhaps the most perfect way of ending the original trilogy and what should've been the end of the series
One thing that bugged me about the arbitar in this game is his question to chief when the flood crashed to Earth. “ what is it more brutes?” Like sir when have the covenant ever used kamikaze ? It should’ve been one of the Marines since the ones on earth are completely unfamiliar to the flood. To me that’s the second worst line in the game behind Miranda’s “ to war”.
I say this as a diehard halo fan, but the internet jerks these games off so hard that seeing someone even ironically criticize them is a breath of fresh air lol.
You can have the driver's side of a Warthog against a rock and Ghost shots will clip through the Marine riding shotgun and kill you. Make it make sense.
The "I'm a thief but I keep what I steal" line from Cortana has always baffled me. Who the fck at Bungie thought "yeah good line, ship". Glad someone else pointed that shit out.
@kokomart_en Well she could say "I'm a thief but at least I keep what I steal for myself instead of selling it to the highest bidder" but that wouldn't be very pithy now would it?
@@thefreeden LOL the whole chief having an attachment thats mentally ill level in itself is fine but why did cortana have such cringe stuff to say like in what context would she have said it to chief? Just awful.
The hornet actually does control different compared to OG. Before you would "look" up/down to change the hornet's elevation, but this change feels better since you have independent controls for vertical and horizontal control.
1:24 "Sorry for the tight squeeze. Tell the commander her ace is in the hole." Tell me I'm not the only one that suffers from the compulsion to say "That's what she said" every time.
This is the first time I have heard Sir Hood utter the words "one final effort" in this video. because In the Japanese dubbed version, the subtitle is translated as 「これが最後の踏ん張りどころだ！」 and the voice-over is translated as 「総力を上げてかかれ！」(All hands on deck!).
I'm pretty sure MCC changed the hornet controls because I beat Halo 3 several times on MCC and couldn't figure out how to control the hornet last time I played.
Yeah originally you ascended and decended by looking up and down with the right thumb stick. On the mcc they mapped that function to the LB and A buttons for some reason. No one really asked for it but they did it anyway.
Pretty sure the chieftain hammered the box and splattered himself lmfao

Every time I think there’s no way frog will put out a video better than the last one… you go and make a masterpiece like this, nicely done frog.
Halo 3 on Legendary is easier than playing Halo 2 on heroic.
I tried on Legendary. Managed to beat it. Only cost me my sanity.
@@unknown_spy_1984 D: :O :3

@@thehorridprofessor2039 Reach is ok, assassination makes it easier. The DMR and plasma pistal seem to be the way to go.

Meanwhile the Gravemind is just taken aback that someone finally appreciates his infection transformation.
Lmaoo the ending "oh look we lost this guy AND his twin brother" 😂😂😂 rofl ive played halo 3 so much and never noticed this
The Hilary Clinton joke and the tianemen square made me pause from having to laugh 😂
Johnson didn't hike it, the warthog you take at the end is his. You know this because Cortana is like "JOHNSONS WARTHOG" as soon as you see it
"They outnumber us 3 to 1!"
'Then it is an even fight."
why shipmaster is my favorite character.
Agreed on your point about Truth for sure, way better in 2. Another certified banger tho Frog

Wait, I'm pretty sure that RvB ref was still there, I saw it myself on the MCC.

People moan about Cortana visions, but it represents a grand total of...3min in the whole game, it's a mild inconvenience at most.
Ah yes, the only Halo I've actually beaten on Legendary, that's how you know the game was easy compared to the others
I think Halo CE was the easiest on legendary ngl

Little fact on how to deal with ranged Flood forms: dual plasma rifles. Plasma rifles pretty much shred through flood like butter.
