i absolutely love that the defining characteristic for the master chief is luck. I think its absolutely brilliant. It gives him the humanity he so badly deserves under that suit of armor. Truly, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I feel the exact opposite, I laughed when I first heard it, what a ridiculous reason for an AI to have chosen anything. Now if she meant God, that I get. The creator of my creators favours him, so I chose him...
Jeremiah Tothenations it kinda makes sense tho. If you’re an AI being, luck will inevitable stand out more due to your inability to analyze it. An anomaly is an anomaly, and that is noticeable.
@@DibbzTV I hear you, but from my experience there's no such thing as luck, to me it's a oversimplification of something greater. But I guess it's human nature to whittle something down to its most basic form. I guess an AI has no capacity to comprehend the supernatural as they are merely corporeal (in this case light and information, but still physical). So yeah, I guess I can buy it now, thanks!
I like how the characters were so well written. You can definitely feel the sorrow in Johnson's face when asking for a heavy lift gear to rescue the Major, as he might have been used to after losing so many of his men. And then immediately the solace (yet instantly shielding his emotions by scolding the Major) in his voice. Great dubbing actors, amazing visuals, the best series of games ever made.
right, i wouldnt say best series of games ever made , if the truth of the matter argues at a questionable level, cuz uh ...plot armor and some parts not making sense .......hmm I'm not so sure
My first time seeing this cut scene, I got goosebumps like crazy. The music, plus Chief coming back to consciousness. I want Halo Infinite to feel just as good as this does.
Spartan Kong Country not going to happen, sorry. The “magic” they caught with Halo 1-reach is no longer there. Mainly because Bungie were too STUPID to realise what fantastic long term potential Halo had, and they wanted to go on to Destiny, also EA were kinda interfering with the development process for example Bungie wanted to make Halo 3 Pc inclusive but EA said no. They left Halo and EA to escape control and work on Destiny. Thing is, they went to Activision, who of course did the same what EA did but x5 worse. So they lost the rights to Halo AND didn’t even get to properly do what they wanted to and the reason they left Halo. All I’m interested in for Halos future is MCC for PC. Because thats going to be Bungies Halo games brought to the platform I know and love. Halo Infinite? Ill watch the news etc, sure. But I can tell from the new trailer that its so far just nostalgia pandering and not actual Halo and the “Magic” we saw in 1-Reach
@@SbCasll Nah Infinite won't capture what old halo could. The multiplayer is even going to be free to play... trust me everyone will love halo infinite for a couple months at most.
For real man… I feel truly blessed that I was a teen during the golden age of gaming before corporations ruined everything. I still come back and watch this video and others like it to compare it to modern games and every time I still get chills. Just proves it was real. Halo used to be amazing.
I watched that opening cutscene last night and cried. The music, the visuals of master chief falling from space, it brought back memories I didn’t even know I had
In one of the more recent Halo novels it shows that the Master Chief and Johnson's friendship goes back over 20 years. In that book, Johnson was a friend and mentor to the 15 year old Master Chief during an early operation against the Covenant. Johnson actually had a hand in the Master Chief's promotion to the rank of Master Chief.
@@alexandreparent1251 Actually it was a pretty good novel. There's A LOT of Halo novels and they are all considered canon. Fact is the games never give us a timeline for how long they knew each other. The book takes place in 2526, about a year after the war begins. The games start in 2552. Johnson was a main character in the novel Contact Harvest which features the first battle with the Covenant on the planet Harvest which IS part of Halo canon. One of the main bad guys is Tartarus, the Brute Chieftain from Halo 2 that was killed by Johnson and the Arbiter at the end of the game. It also shows the story of the rise to power of the Prophets of Truth, Mercy and Regret. I really suggest you read the Halo novels if you haven't, they are so incredible and add so much to the story. The games definitely include elements of them into the story too and not just the 343 games. That opening bit in Halo 3 where the Master Chief is falling out of the sky and Cortana has a voiceover??? Cortana's voiceover about getting to choose the Chief references a scene in Halo: The Fall of Reach. Not the animated movie thing, that was just an adaptation of like half of the book at most but the novel itself.
@@y0urs03pic Yes. They are that bad. Don't be fooled. Halo Infinite will have microtransactions. Plus, they completely don't understand the Halo series, and the art design is AWFUL.
Halo 1,2,and 3 are the pinnacle of gaming for me. I've never felt more catered to as a gamer. They listened to feedback and made each game unquestionably better than the last. The XboxLive multiplayer support and leaderboard/downloadable replays where you could move the camera around and slow-mo the best frags in full on Matrix surround was was absolutely insane.
One of the greatest games of all time along with Reach, CE, 2, and ODST. Good times playing this back on Original Xbox 360. Congrats to those who still keep the classics alive playing MCC.
What a truly beautiful game, I feel as if all of the fighting between which one is the best is because they are all so perfect, that the only way to decide is nostalgia/memories with freinds/growing up with.
I love how Johnson’s little crazy fool rant. Makes him sound so concerned and looking out for chief like he’s his own dad or something. It really hits me where it matters
The part where chief goes, "Yeah, you're not!" Music score and everything just a perfect scene. I feel its a good opposite to the sadness and sorrow as we see the camera change from Noble 6's engagement to his helmet. Perfect yin and yang example.
The music variation at 2:40 when Johnson asks where Cortana is, it reminds me of this kind of WW2 music in Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers, so atmospheric and powerful
I will never forget booting up Halo 3 for the first time. I had barely played a Halo game before, only touching Halo 2 at a friends house. It was summer. The air was vibrant and delicious, the nights long and the days longer. I will not say I earned that Xbox, a Master Chief one at that, because I did not. But my father bought it with his own hard earned money, and I am forever grateful to him for that. He has never agreed with my love for video games, but he saw past that. He wanted to make his son happy, even if he could not understand it. I remember booting up Halo for the first time. It was on an old box TV, with SCART cables and an adapter. This scene alone blew my mind and hooked me. The mystery, the music, the wonder, I cannot put it in words. It had to be felt. Describing a feeling is... impossible. I don't remember how old I was. Maybe 12, maybe 13. Now I'm 28, closing in on 29. It might seem grim, but I never expected to grow this old. Not due to any illness or disease. That was deep in my head. But playing online made that pain go away, if only temporarily. Hell, even playing offline was good enough, something I did for very long until my father buckled and paid for XBL. Just the armor customization alone was... man, you really chased every piece of it you could, because it was so cool. And man, what a world that opened up. I have met so many fantastic people. I've met many assholes too, but focusing on them would do them a service. So I will focus on the friends, one of whom I am close as a brother to this day. We met via Halo, as fellow Norwegians and we were a menace in duos! Just having someone to play that with was fantastic. We never cared much for winning, we were content having someone to play with... I still remember that *DEET, DEET... DING* of a match starting. Halo 3 was a fantastic game and I can never be grateful enough to this space opera. Grateful towards my father who dislikes video games yet he set his own views aside for my sake. To all the friends I made, as a nervous and outcast child. Grateful to Bungie, for giving me a place I felt like... I belonged. Peculiar as I was. It's corny but. We Spartans, we don't die. We go missing in action.
> be me, 16 yo, never played Halo > buy your first console by yourself with Halo 3 and ODST packed with it > launch the console and see that for the first time > get chills as the piano start playing > fall in love since then
This has, and always will give me the chills! I love this cutscene. Brings a tear to my eye. Me and my buddy got this midnight release. Right after we graduated high school, we said we’d do one more play through together on Co-Op and we did. We tried on legendary with just the two of us and let’s just say, grunts….. That’s all. My friend later died in a car wreck from a drunk driver t-boning him. So this cutscene will now forever hold a special place with me.
60% of me at the end of the video was expecting the feel of a 360 controller in my hands, and other 30% was devastated there wasn't 10% said DAMNIT WHAT WENT WRONG???
God knows how many years later and this still might be my favourit Video game opening ever. The music and Cortana narration over it just have THAT vibe, I don't how to describe it.
Remember Master Chief used to be considered to be the hero among the military? I know......four years later the everyone on-board of the prototype ship known as The Infinity does not remember him to be the hero except some do remember him from the battle of New Mombassa.
Everyone on Infinity is scared of Chief that crack are you on? Captain Del Rio just had a bad attitude, it didn't lower any moral. And oh that was William 043 in New Mombasa he was sent there first way before Chief could he was still receiving armor.
Um Sarah Palmer said thought you’d be taller because he is a legend that’s what most people say to notorious people. God we live in a world where everyone can’t think outside the box.
same, that part always stuck out to me and I don't know why. The combination of him getting up as the music's intensity increases which probably symbolises the fact that the hope of humanity stands again. It's such a simple, but a definitive "halo" moment which no one else has or can replicate. (Maybe 343 can, their 2019 discover hope trailer was pretty good).
Man, I'm 33 years old and shedding tears right now seeing this. My childhood, our childhood. 2007 - 2023 and the memories of trailers launch before somewhere like on late 06.
Imagine,2007,you came back from the midnight launch and put the disc,wait for the download and spend the whole night beating the campaign and playing multiplayer the next day. Beatiful memories..
What I’d give for it to be Christmas in 2007. Just got my 360, snacking on great grandma’s cookies she made me, and watching this for the first time again.
Happy 15th Birthday Halo 3 and thank you for everything Bungie. H3 will continue to live on for us. Legends never die. I was there. 9/25/07 LUCK. BELIEVE FINISH THE FIGHT 117 "WERE IT SO EASY" "WAKE ME, WHEN YOU NEED ME" September 25th, 2007. 15 Years of Excellence! Classic Halo for LIFE.
Watching this again after they just included "The Coin" in the Halo Tv show. I had to watch this scene, still one of my favorites from the games. Jen Taylor is such a good VA!
God everytime i hear that intro song i get the most bitter and beautiful nostalgia ever espicially the part at 1:09 and 2:18 ,u know ? Every single note in this intro is epic
0:51 "luck" is an understatement, when Chief broke off from the main body of the spacecraft when it was reentering it does a near instant 90degree turn. At that speed it would have been so many G forces im surprised he ever woke up. Its also straight up magical because to change direction that much at that speed would be an issue for even the best fighter jets and yet Chief somehow did it while totally knocked out using just his arms and legs as control surfaces.
@@whaleshey yeah when I played H4 I knew 5 minutes in that they wrecked him as a character. To be honest though they unfucked that in halo infinite. He is more stoic and silent.
The luck quote is so relevant to what makes Master Chief so engaging for the player/viewer. Given what season 2 for the show is going to do, I sincerely doubt it'll be anywhere near as impactful of a reason. Spartans are all the best of the best, making Chief not as impressive as he is... but he's that lone soldier to survive a war, win or lose. That simple and understandable concept is what makes him special.
Halo literally set and maintained the bar for masterful and impactful storytelling in a video game. Little detail: I love how Chief doesn't let go of Johnson's arm until he takes Cortana's chip back... It fits really well with her narrated intro to the scene... And how a Spartan would probably act given both psychological conditioning to be a perfect soldier (maintaining situational control even just after regaining consciousness), and likely unconditional human emotions left over, especially in such extreme circumstance (his care/need for Cortana for mixed reasons of tactical/strategic practically and emotional fulfilment in a certain area naturally unfulfilled by his conditioning (real emotional connection).

The combination of him getting up as the music's intensity increases which probably symbolises the fact that the hope of humanity stands again. It's such a simple, but a definitive "halo" moment which no one else has or can replicate. (Maybe 343 can, their 2019 discover hope trailer was pretty good).
Read the halo books. She was talking about John. They talk about John's luck in one of the first books.
Is John a spartan? No, he was a prototype spartan. So I don't think so.
Man, I'm 33 years old and shedding tears right now seeing this. My childhood, our childhood. 2007 - 2023 and the memories of trailers launch before somewhere like on late 06.
Best halo of all time no arguing it
This was the most coolest video game intro when I was 5 years old at the time, 13 years later the intro still gives me chills
As a child it's about the coolness Factor, then as an adult it's about the gravity of the situation.
0:17 when that choir kicks in. Brings back memories of yore
The best intro to any video game. I really miss when halo was in its prime. Reach and 3 were among the greatest games I have ever played
This opening cutscene is goated.
This scene introduced me into the halo franchise...
Amen 🙏🙌
So elegantly put.
Chills every time
I miss this time so much. All my hair stands on end everytime I watch this.
Imagine,2007,you came back from the midnight launch and put the disc,wait for the download and spend the whole night beating the campaign and playing multiplayer the next day. Beatiful memories..
This was my whole childhood i get chills watching this now
What I’d give for it to be Christmas in 2007. Just got my 360, snacking on great grandma’s cookies she made me, and watching this for the first time again.
Here after the Infinite demo. Halo is back and so is the Master Chief.
Happy 15th Birthday Halo 3 and thank you for everything Bungie. H3 will continue to live on for us. Legends never die. I was there. 9/25/07
LUCK.
BELIEVE
FINISH THE FIGHT

"WERE IT SO EASY"
"WAKE ME, WHEN YOU NEED ME"
September 25th, 2007.
15 Years of Excellence!
Classic Halo for LIFE.
Why am tearing up from nostalgia man :(
Everything about this scene is perfect.
Literally my favorite intro to a game ever
the audio is incredible
Watching this again after they just included "The Coin" in the Halo Tv show.
I had to watch this scene, still one of my favorites from the games.
Jen Taylor is such a good VA!
God everytime i hear that intro song i get the most bitter and beautiful nostalgia ever espicially the part at 1:09 and 2:18 ,u know ? Every single note in this intro is epic
You've probably found it right now. But I think the song is "Luck" from Halo 3.
2:25 my favorite part
Why do you always jump;)
@@samroberts9880 Lol halo 2 bomb
Amazing. I played this campaign through more times than I can remember. Now I wanna go back and play it again.
Cortanas monologue is goosebumps. Best era of gaming.
I get goosebumps every time
“Were it so easy”
For a brick, he flew pretty good.
I still get goosebumps honestly
Who’s here after that amazing E3 trailer for Halo Infinite!?
Yep
It's amazing that they brought back the opening music for the trailer at the end
Me
What do you think of it now that it's out?
0:51 "luck" is an understatement, when Chief broke off from the main body of the spacecraft when it was reentering it does a near instant 90degree turn. At that speed it would have been so many G forces im surprised he ever woke up. Its also straight up magical because to change direction that much at that speed would be an issue for even the best fighter jets and yet Chief somehow did it while totally knocked out using just his arms and legs as control surfaces.
I miss this era and storytelling of halo so damn much.
This beginning still has magic today gives me chills
Alright now imagine this was simply the halo tv show trailer. Those first 40 seconds.
God this made me tear up
When I first started seeing 0:42 in 2007, I got sudden goosebumps. This intro always gets me.
Been a long time but yea when I cheched from my arms all to my neck goosing all over… ❤ love this game.
ohhh boy that intro music took me way back
when i turn the volume off, i can still hear this playing in my head.
Came here after playing halo infinites campaign… it’s not the same 😭 everything was perfect in these first 3 games
Finally someone who fucking agrees with me.
chief talks way too much in the new games. makes him feel a lot less badass
@@whaleshey yeah when I played H4 I knew 5 minutes in that they wrecked him as a character. To be honest though they unfucked that in halo infinite. He is more stoic and silent.
3 was my favorite game
Best halo scene ever. Period
Maaaan, I remember when these games had writing that I liked. Turns out that was way more important to my enjoyment than gameplay or graphics.
The luck quote is so relevant to what makes Master Chief so engaging for the player/viewer. Given what season 2 for the show is going to do, I sincerely doubt it'll be anywhere near as impactful of a reason. Spartans are all the best of the best, making Chief not as impressive as he is... but he's that lone soldier to survive a war, win or lose. That simple and understandable concept is what makes him special.
The dialogue is so perfect. I never got as invested into halo characters as I did in halo 1-3.
Every time I’m about to stop liking halo I go back to the old games and get the feeling back love you halo
Halo literally set and maintained the bar for masterful and impactful storytelling in a video game.
Little detail: I love how Chief doesn't let go of Johnson's arm until he takes Cortana's chip back... It fits really well with her narrated intro to the scene... And how a Spartan would probably act given both psychological conditioning to be a perfect soldier (maintaining situational control even just after regaining consciousness), and likely unconditional human emotions left over, especially in such extreme circumstance (his care/need for Cortana for mixed reasons of tactical/strategic practically and emotional fulfilment in a certain area naturally unfulfilled by his conditioning (real emotional connection).
