Man I tought Halo 5 was good until I saw This video Halo Wars 2 such a better story than Halo 4 and Halo 5 BTW Jerome+Isabel better become a thing a FPS thing
You people remember that one guy in Halo 4 Spartan Ops which was portrayed as a big, strong villain with a ton of supporters? Remember how he was killed within a minute of a lackluster Halo 5 cutscene? That better not happen with Atriox..
Jul 'Mdama was so wasted as a character. He had great potential and had a cool design, however shitty writing had him killed by Locke in a minute. If they do that to Atriox I'm done with life.
Would love it if they made us believe that was gonna happen. With Locke about to give the finishing blow. However Atriox manages to fight back and kills someone
Now I kind of wish I had played halo wars 1 before this one so I could get the full background, but at the time I didn't because the idea of fighting the flood always put a sick feeling in my stomach. Also I hate time limits.
The intro to this game is amazing and sad. Serenas farewell speech perfectly starts it off saying goodbye to an old friend and saying hello to a new and improved one, absolutely smashing lads.
Yeah, fighting the remaining covenant was getting a little old but if you go back and play the games the Prometheans just aren't as fun to fight as the covenant. I think it is a really good way to add another faction that is fun fight to against.
I just realized that nearly every other AI shown in Halo has been clothed... Was Cortana some kind of AI Nudist? Is that why she never hung out with other AI's?
Chips Dubbo well AIs get to dress themselves really... some have costumes others choose simple human clothing others like Cortana go for a more nude look.
I love that they really showed us again how strong a spartan II can be. And I also love Isabelle character, she has emotions, a lot and I would expect her to wish to work with spartans after everything that happened. That scene where she says " Promise you won't leave without me" showed that after all these she doesn't want to be alone again. I hope she meets John 117
Now you should get how both the endings of halo 5 and halo wars 2 come together, now that means we could end up seeing the spirit of fire in Halo 6 which means that there is a very high possibility of going to the ark.
Ibrahim Malik Well we went to Meridian in Halo 5 and that planet was also glassed, besides I think Reach wasn't completely glassed. Need to check that.
the cutscene at the end of halo reach with Reach being repopulated took place in like 2589. i know its 258 something. thats like 30 years after halo 5 and halo wars 2.
Tartarus was one of my favorite villains and boss fights from the original games, it's no surprise they'd reintroduce another badass brute for halo 6! I hope he actually has a good story and doesn't get killed in the first 10 minutes. To fight him in game would be amazing.
DependableExpendable Halo 2 needed to be made on 360. Do you see all the stuff bungie had to cut out. There were going to be more campaign missions and other cool things.
half assed? they were literally working nonstop to try and get it finished by launch date and they scrapped a whole engine because they felt halo deserved a better one.
half assed means lazy and Its not hard to find information about halo 2s development. im not going to list off websites because you're too lazy to use google.
OMFG thank you so much for uploading this!! Sorry but apparently every other channel on youtube doesn't understand that sometimes, somebody wants to see the cutscenes in HD without the subtitles and/or a huge ass logo on screen. So thank you for making this! :D
so we have a halo ring, the ark. master chief and arbiter together once more, Halsey is reunited with chief, the halo wars cast is now connected to the main series and the brutes are back to fuck shit up....all we need for halo 6 to be amazing is for 343 to not fuck up the writing like they did with halo 5. the set up for a great game is here...they can't fuck this up
Pet my head I think that's impossible, it would only satisfy me if it was as good as Halo 3 maybe. Unfortunately, I think only Bungie could accomplish such a task.
Luckily, Brian Reed(Halo 5's lead writer) is no longer the lead writer. In the back of Halo: Fractures(in the "About the Authors" section) Brian Reed is listed as "Lead Narrative Director", rather than Lead Writer.
Pet my head yeah and it took 343 us, the community, 3 games and 5 years (5 long years) to understand that all we had by the ending of 3 was enough to make a good halo.
8:43 Notice how much taller Jerome 092 is than the captain. That would've been a better representation in Halo 5 when Locke and Chief were next to each other.
Well of course they will link it together, when asked if we will see Atriox and the Banished in another Halo Game (meaning 6) 343 answered with a "maybe" which means pretty much yes we will. It wouldn't surprise me if we will have 2 Stories much like Halo2 and 5, one with the Spirit of Fire (maybe we will play Douglas(i soo hope so because he and Isabel are awesome xD)) and the other follows MC and the others and at some point they join forces.
7:38 This part hits me everytime, it's just... The cheering from the brutes, calling in the airstrike. "Interesting plan!" And the music when it cuts back to the ship.
romand271 some like a definitive ending to a game, however at this point each new halo is a continuation of the Reclaimer saga so cliffhanger endings are to be expected at this point i guess
Halo 2's ending was a lot more epic with the music and other things (and it felt like you had a full campaign beforehand). It wasn't a prepared ending either, since Halo 2's development was very rocky.
Noble_Slip short but sweet. the graphics and characters and story was so much better than halo 5 which only had about 33 minutes of cutscenes that were unfocused
To know that this game takes place at the site of where the Master Chief destroyed the Flood once and for all; it will certainly send sparks to those who played halo 3 in the past.
I’ll say once: I think we can have a successor to the master chief with jerome here. A soft reboot for the saga that is. Either that or they come up with a big new idea for halo. I see fit a sequel that works as the 1st modern warfare reboot in which they tell the plot filling the gaps between the main chapters 4/5/infinite. I see as a cool idea
Anyone else notice Cutters first broadcast to Jerome he says "Prep Spartan red team AND a small recon squad"?, does that mean red team aboard the Spirit of fire consists of more than just the 3 that are deployed in the initial recon scene and are subsequently followed throughout the game?, Like if you want to see more of the ledgendary Spartan II's, and an eventual reunion of all living Spartans for an epic fight to once again save humanity!!!!!
elektron117 Gave you Halo 2 vibes because it was a cliffhanger. At least Halo 2's wasn't intentional and was a compromise, otherwise the game would've been cancelled due to budgeting and time constraints. A good game should leave you satisfied at the end, not like this. This ending just raises far more questions than it answers, which is annoying.
Ibrahim Malik Plus some Brute type weapons to add to the mix will be great. I've been wanting to blow some enemies away with the Bruteshot or Grifshot to all the RvB fans out there and basically feel like the Meta again.
Also they need to bring back the brute chopper. They better bring back brutes. Bring back both plasma rifle variants. Brute and elite. And i swear to god 343, have a unsc air craft vehicle at release, not later in mutiplayer available only in req packs. And since we know prometheans are gonna be back. Plz 343 add thier own set of vehicles than just phaeton and great ships, the forerunners mustve had some ground vehicles then just aircraft dont they 343? And seriously microsoft remove req packs, no more reqs, its one of the things i absolute hate about halo 5. Bring back the times where we earn armour sets through challenges basiclly giving us a proper goal rather than going through reqs for an armour piece we want or idk bring back armour customization from reach, imo halo 5 customization was lacking compared to reach where had so many options, we were able to mix and match diffrent armour pieces from shoulder pads, chassis, helmets, knee pads etc. Halo 5 its just helmet and body armour and thats it and if u could visor colour. I have hope for halo 6 but i hope reqs are taken out and we get the system we love in halo 3 or the credit system in halo reach where we can mix n match pieces
Ibrahim Malik Your talking my style man. The customizable way they had it on Halo Reach was my favorite one, especially when the armor was more real like touch to the look. The credit system and challenges to earn a good chunk of creds was nice. As far as the vehicles, if this is the last one in the story, why not bring back all of them from the UNSC, Covenant with Banished variants and more Forerunner and as you mentioned some ground versions and hell, bring back Forge World in all it's glory. For weapons, bring back the best version of each like the Halo 3 Bruteshot, the Halo 4 Binary Rifle and like the Halo 1,2 and 3 Plasma Rifle as a few examples.
James Cutter is someone I would follow to hell and back. A true leader. I don’t care if people think the Spirit of Fire is still lost. I’d choose to be there.
Omg it would be so awesome if Jerome is in halo infinite and his A.I is Isabelle. I still like chief more tho. Chief will always be #1 and the all time favourite.
The Commendatore Yeah, Hes talking about how the fight went down and how Jerome fought the elites and brutes ofc jerome would slap both about if thats what he means
in all fairness I don't think the ending is that bad, but I feel it's unsatisfying. it invalidated literally everything you set out to do at the beginning of the game: reconnect with the unsc and stop the banished. in the final moments you're pooling all your resources into securing your getaway, all while fighting off endless hordes of banished. then suddenly your escape plan gets yanked away from you, the banished are still around, and the game ends, leaving you not wanting more, but a little frustrated because "that's it...?" and I think that's the main issue everyone has with halo wars 2's ending
TheDaedalus07 but the story accomplishes what it set out to do... you don't tell Shakespeare that you don't like his tragedies because they are to sad... halo wars 2 set out to reintroduce the SoF to the current time line, it did that, to introduce a new faction, it did and well enough without destroying them in the first outing. And it connected with halo 5. You the player were fighting to save the SoF from the new threat you beat them back and sent Anders out to contact the UNSC... it setup nicely for future games which is what everyone should expect from a giant space opera and epic sci-fi story that halo is known for. I agree I wanted more but we got plenty of value here for a game that might never have been made, we should celebrate that and tone done the criticisms to a more realistic level... mainly because we contradict ourselves... halo 2 is fine for cliffhangers. Then we want contained story lines, but then the story feels rushed so we don't like halo 4 because it was to condensed... and now we don't like cliffhangers. We are satisfied with halo 2s ending now because we have that closure... when we get that for halo 5 and HW2 we will come around again... that is the point of a cliffhanger to have you begging for more.
Simple. Your priorities change. The Spirit of Fire, before knowing about the danger the Banished represents to the galaxy, needed to join up with the UNSC. After the Banished are discovered, however, they instead focus on trying to destroy them; the Halo wasn't an escape, it was meant to be sent with a message, and be a way to get more UNSC to arrive at the Ark to help defeat the Banished.
did this dude seriously just compare this shit to shakespeare? Wat? OP you're absolutely spot on. Nothing was accomplished throughout the game. Nothing except killing a covenant carrier and creating a new halo array. That's it.
Anders was transported with Installation 04c to Threshold so that she would be relatively close to Reach so that she can use Reach's COMs relay. Boy, is she in for a surprise when she gets there.
Wasn't that lush shot of Reach at the end of Halo: Reach taken during the 2580s? I have a feeling that at the time of Halo Wars 2, there is still a lot to be done to make Reach habitable. Either way, she's going to be in for a shock, because the landscape has changed.
6:55, Spartan. with a long-ish range weapon, was no more than 20 feet away from Atriox, whose head was unarmored. They missed a perfect opportunity to cripple enemy leadership. Come on man!
At no point in the fight scene is Atriox clearly shown to have such a shield. Moreover, his head lacks a helmet, meaning the shield, if there is one, may not cover it.
all of these enemies and vehicles better be in halo 6, and if they are combined with covie remnants and swords of sanghelios they would actually make a perfect game
Ok whoever wrote this game understands that Halo doesn't need to be Terminator meets Alien, meets DCCU, they understand that the game needs a simple goal to be good. Unlike the last 2 games that were trying to hard, this felt like it was just right. #MakeHaloGreatAgain
I suppose now the questions are: Is this the same Halo ring we saw Cortana take control of in the Legendary End Cutscene of Halo 5: Guardians? And, is Spartan 092 & Isabel the beginning of a new Spartan - A.I. power team that will take the place of the Master Chief & Cortana in future Halo titles?
I doubt it. Most people don't even know who Jerome or Isabel is, because Halo Wars isn't very mainstream. They'd be more confused that a franchise known for a blue AI and faceless protagonist now has an orange AI and a protagonist that can take off his mask.
Scorch Just cutscenes not story development. Cutscenes were 26 minutes, storyline is roughly 1 hour. While Halo Wars 2 has 2 hours of gameplay story from what I've seen
Halo Wars 2's story is definitely told more through gameplay than story, but that's fine. Never use a cutscene if you can't justify it. Cutscenes should ALWAYS develop characters/plot or convey objectives. If a cutscene doesn't do either of those things, it's a waste. (Halo 5 is an example of that. Too many cutscenes just showing the characters arriving at a location.) Halo Wars 2 makes up for this discrepancy with a lot of dialogue during loading screens, and in gameplay, and with tons of game-rendered vignettes with dedicated animations.
+Scorch The first Halo Wars definitely did NOT have an hour's worth of cinematics in it. You must be basing that off of that one UA-cam video that added a ton of gameplay scenes plus a trailer and the game's credits.
Horacio Cuevas it was pretty good. tells us how the ring on halo 5 legendary ending came into cortana's possession. hope fully chief encounters cutter on the ark. that would be sick as.
TheMitochondria. Actually they cover that when cpt. Cutter tells Alice that Isabel has prepared a brief packet... it is reasonable everyone was briefed... to know about the ark, banished, and halos.
The cinematics are freakin epic 10/10..................... But that ending was shit I was specting to see the reunion of the blue team and the red team and also the reunion between halsey and Anders, Oh and also i was specting to see the returning of the flood, as we saw on Halo Scalation...............................
343 Industries confirmed that there would be NO Flood in the Game. All of the Flood was killed and Serina terminated herself in the Comic Book, Halo Tales From Slipspace.
Halo Escalation was made to Terminate all the characters and stories from Halo Spartan Ops. Like I said all the Flood on the ship was killed and Serina terminated herself. There are multiply videos here on You Tube that explain everything that happened in Halo Tales From Slipspace.

HALO THANKS FOR MAKING THIS GAME!!! ILOVE IT
HALO is their gonna be a halo wars 3?
Thank you for this amazing story!
Man I tought Halo 5 was good until I saw This video Halo Wars 2 such a better story than Halo 4 and Halo 5 BTW Jerome+Isabel better become a thing a FPS thing
xXNightxOwlXx #SWAAG halo 5 had good multiplayer but a bad campaign
These guys should make a halo movie, because those cutscenes are the best things my eyes have seen.
GTX1080 Gamer Why the fuck are you here then?
Voro 'Rogarai Microsoft
GTX1080 Gamer then y u here
Voro, you savage lol.
you obv never saw blizzards magic...
You people remember that one guy in Halo 4 Spartan Ops which was portrayed as a big, strong villain with a ton of supporters? Remember how he was killed within a minute of a lackluster Halo 5 cutscene? That better not happen with Atriox..
Simon Petrikov Well let's hope Brian reed isn't the main writer for Halo 6
Jul 'Mdama was so wasted as a character. He had great potential and had a cool design, however shitty writing had him killed by Locke in a minute. If they do that to Atriox I'm done with life.
Depending on Locke's stint as Luke Cage for the Netflix Marvel projects, it may not be a bad idea.
Would love it if they made us believe that was gonna happen. With Locke about to give the finishing blow. However Atriox manages to fight back and kills someone
That would be pretty cool actually.
Serina's goodbye at the start made me genuinely sad
Aldrig Sige RIP Serena
Yeah but I hate serina in multi-player
Now I kind of wish I had played halo wars 1 before this one so I could get the full background, but at the time I didn't because the idea of fighting the flood always put a sick feeling in my stomach. Also I hate time limits.
The intro to this game is amazing and sad. Serenas farewell speech perfectly starts it off saying goodbye to an old friend and saying hello to a new and improved one, absolutely smashing lads.
drdonutdonut what if she went to Cortana??? Dun dun dun
I doubt she would betray her crew.
Mossclaw Cat the fear of death is a powerful thing
Derek Warner Also this is 30 years after the original game. She probably died way before cortana had her plans.
Mossclaw Cat "please do forgive this breach of protocol"
22:22 For a brick, he flew *pretty good!*
Orthohexsgt Johnsen your back
Sgt Johnson
Orthohex haha nice reference
Thanks for reminding me old Halo is still the best
Dr Apocalyptus XD
Damn, a bit too short personally but these scenes were some of Blur's best work. This has me extremely excited to see where Halo's story goes next.
TheZeresec Halo Wars only had 26 min of cinematics.
And that was a bit too short for me too.
TheZeresec at least the quality is superb
Yeah but had like an hour of im game cutscenes to.
either the dlc or halo 6
17:09
Halo 5:
- Let's make Locke and his team look like badasses.
Halo Wars 2:
- Let's give the spartan II their badassery back.
Anthony Nguyen good thought
"Let's give the Spartan IIs their badassery back."
*gets their ass whooped by a brute*
Dr. Boring he’s not just a brute. He has higher intelligence and reflex
@@Clayvalue Doesn't matter. Red Team fought like a pack of idiots against him.
Dr. Boring well no shit but they were moving light, recon. And it was pretty much purely to show how big and bad he is
Awesome, the fact that they're connecting this with the main story is great.
Halo is amazing, you should read the novels too! Bad blood takes place right after halo 5
Hey so uh, about that......
oh man I think the banished may be in halo 6. that would be siiiiccckkkk
Rory Black yep brutes are back
Yeah, fighting the remaining covenant was getting a little old but if you go back and play the games the Prometheans just aren't as fun to fight as the covenant. I think it is a really good way to add another faction that is fun fight to against.
And yet, I'm still waiting for the flood too return.
Like fighting lame ass robot if you ask me.
All the Banished went to the Ark hello.
when fucking halo wars two has a better story and characters than that of the main series....looking at you halo 5.
That tends to happen when the publisher tells the developers to change everything a year before launch
I just realized that nearly every other AI shown in Halo has been clothed...
Was Cortana some kind of AI Nudist? Is that why she never hung out with other AI's?
Chips Dubbo well AIs get to dress themselves really... some have costumes others choose simple human clothing others like Cortana go for a more nude look.
Some of them even choose very simple representations, such as Auntie Dot simply being a collection of lines(Halo: Reach's loading screens).
Chips! I missed you, bro!
One AI literally appears as a box. When he's feeling festive he simulates a bowtie on the box.
BB was the best AI
I love that they really showed us again how strong a spartan II can be. And I also love Isabelle character, she has emotions, a lot and I would expect her to wish to work with spartans after everything that happened. That scene where she says " Promise you won't leave without me" showed that after all these she doesn't want to be alone again. I hope she meets John 117
That's true, I would like them (and Alice and Douglas) as an option to replace John and Cortana after the Trilogy is over.
I honestly found Isabelle's overly emotional state to be rather annoying coming form an AI
Well with halo Infinites 10 year plan we might just get a DLC with the SoF
And their using like over 20 year old gear
Now you should get how both the endings of halo 5 and halo wars 2 come together, now that means we could end up seeing the spirit of fire in Halo 6 which means that there is a very high possibility of going to the ark.
Remiss Animal we are not goin back to reach, reach has been glassed by the covenant already so its highly unlikely that we'll go back to reach.
Ibrahim Malik Well we went to Meridian in Halo 5 and that planet was also glassed, besides I think Reach wasn't completely glassed. Need to check that.
the cutscene at the end of halo reach with Reach being repopulated took place in like 2589. i know its 258 something. thats like 30 years after halo 5 and halo wars 2.
Trevor Takerei yay and Halo 6 has to call me quick I'm itching to find out what happened to Anders and the crew of the Spirit and also The Spirit
Sounds like a Halo 3 esque ending, building up to a major battle that's going to take place on the ark.
THe good Halo design is back FUCK YEAH !
Yeah, I'm worried Halo 6 will stick to the shitty 343i art style.
Halo 2 took place before Halo 5. They had to
Do you mean "Fuck off" rather than "Fuck yeah"? Because that is 100% subjective.
Kurt -051 wth chill the fuck out
like your self
OMG THAT ENDING THO WOW
+Zerebrat Damn give me a look into that crystal fucking ball you wizard
Zerebrat Eightyseven ALL ABOARD THE H6 HYPE TRAIN!
Wyatt Gibson nice icon
XxMeme Lord39xX Choo Choo
Tartarus was one of my favorite villains and boss fights from the original games, it's no surprise they'd reintroduce another badass brute for halo 6! I hope he actually has a good story and doesn't get killed in the first 10 minutes. To fight him in game would be amazing.
That "Oo-Rah!" at the end of Cutter's speech is when you KNOW Atriox will take some serious casualties.
soo.. is this the ring cortana found? at the end of 6?
francisco perez oh shit you're right
omg
Yes it is
So we can blame anders for putting a halo ring in Cortanas hands I take it
francisco perez I don't think it was, this is not a "ring", the on Cortona found was I think.
The level of detail in these cutscenes, ARE TOO DAMN HIGHHH
Idiots complaining about cliffhanger ending when the game is connected to Halo 6?
raxtuz it's a campaign dlc
Halo 2 was half assed and look how much praise it gets.
DependableExpendable Halo 2 needed to be made on 360. Do you see all the stuff bungie had to cut out. There were going to be more campaign missions and other cool things.
half assed? they were literally working nonstop to try and get it finished by launch date and they scrapped a whole engine because they felt halo deserved a better one.
half assed means lazy and Its not hard to find information about halo 2s development. im not going to list off websites because you're too lazy to use google.
Atriox has so much potential as a villain. I love him already!
Alber and i don't like him right now
but he didn't do anything...
Way better than Halo 5! The music and everything.
I don't know about the music though...
TLSPanthers Halo 3's music > all others. I love the full on orchestral choral vibes with a tiny touch of synth mixed in certain songs.
OMFG thank you so much for uploading this!! Sorry but apparently every other channel on youtube doesn't understand that sometimes, somebody wants to see the cutscenes in HD without the subtitles and/or a huge ass logo on screen. So thank you for making this! :D
so halo 5 is now justified imo
So much waving hands around digital displays
so we have a halo ring, the ark. master chief and arbiter together once more, Halsey is reunited with chief, the halo wars cast is now connected to the main series and the brutes are back to fuck shit up....all we need for halo 6 to be amazing is for 343 to not fuck up the writing like they did with halo 5. the set up for a great game is here...they can't fuck this up
Pet my head I think that's impossible, it would only satisfy me if it was as good as Halo 3 maybe. Unfortunately, I think only Bungie could accomplish such a task.
Luckily, Brian Reed(Halo 5's lead writer) is no longer the lead writer. In the back of Halo: Fractures(in the "About the Authors" section) Brian Reed is listed as "Lead Narrative Director", rather than Lead Writer.
Pet my head Also Split-Screen is back baby!
Pet my head yeah and it took 343 us, the community, 3 games and 5 years (5 long years) to understand that all we had by the ending of 3 was enough to make a good halo.
Actually, Deathwing, Brian Reed voluntarily left by choice.
8:43 Notice how much taller Jerome 092 is than the captain. That would've been a better representation in Halo 5 when Locke and Chief were next to each other.
I NEED MORE!!!!!!
iq?
Deathroll201 SAME!!!
now we know which ring cortana has in the end of halo 5
MAYBE, confimed is nothing
The Cursed Cod it's not confirmed. For all we know cortana has 2 rings now.
i do think 343 would link these two legendary endings for an awesome cross game reclaimer saga ending
Well of course they will link it together, when asked if we will see Atriox and the Banished in another Halo Game (meaning 6) 343 answered with a "maybe" which means pretty much yes we will. It wouldn't surprise me if we will have 2 Stories much like Halo2 and 5, one with the Spirit of Fire (maybe we will play Douglas(i soo hope so because he and Isabel are awesome xD)) and the other follows MC and the others and at some point they join forces.
i feel like there should be one new enemy before the floods explosive return and the banished fit the perfectly
I've been waiting for halo wars 2 for 8 years, it was worth the wait.
who else got that halo wars two commercial with the car dealer
Jonathan Douglas meeee
...
Let the wave of HW2 content begin! Can't wait to see what you release next Nick!
This is what a Halo game should be... amazing.
At least we know wats going to happen in halo 6
captain cutters acting is amazing. eyes/movement shows respect/authority/care/decisive all at the same time.
Who’s here reminiscing a masterpiece in 2024?
So who now can't wait for when chief meets up with Atriox?!?!?
daniel riccio and lm going slab his gut
Think Chief will be more worried about his girlfriend than this guy lol
It is likely Arbiter will meet with Atriox. Chief has different problems, Arbiter on the other hand has issues with Atriox.
It happened…
and for the first time in the Halo universe Master Chief got his ass handed to him.
7:38
This part hits me everytime, it's just...
The cheering from the brutes, calling in the airstrike.
"Interesting plan!"
And the music when it cuts back to the ship.
huh I just don't understand why there are people who hate the ending…
but they seem to like the ending of Halo 2
romand271 ikr I thought the ending was perfect for a set up for halo 6 ....these guys are just 343 haters
romand271 They didn't like Halo 2's ending either.
romand271 some like a definitive ending to a game, however at this point each new halo is a continuation of the Reclaimer saga so cliffhanger endings are to be expected at this point i guess
Halo 2's ending was a lot more epic with the music and other things (and it felt like you had a full campaign beforehand). It wasn't a prepared ending either, since Halo 2's development was very rocky.
romand271 Because halo 2 had no choice to have a cliffhanger. Can't blame them when the xbox couldn't handle everything.
BLUR Studios has some of the best artist's in the industry. This is phenomenal work! Truly inspiring.
Really!? 27 mins? That's short
Noble_Slip it is a spinoff game
Noble_Slip Halo Wars has 26 min of cinematics. So how is this short?
***** oh yea lol felt like halo wars 1 hd an hour of cinamatics
Noble_Slip short but sweet. the graphics and characters and story was so much better than halo 5 which only had about 33 minutes of cutscenes that were unfocused
iSpitFya that's not very nice mate. I made a mistake and thought HW1 cinematics were longer no need to get your panties in a twist.
man i always loved how at 20:23 the Sentinels move like a swarm of angry bees after the Ark gets glassed
Just realized how much cooler it would've been if it was John vs Jerome instead of John vs Locke...
To know that this game takes place at the site of where the Master Chief destroyed the Flood once and for all; it will certainly send sparks to those who played halo 3 in the past.
Calling it now: Isabel will end Cortana
Father Falcone that would make sense and could happen in a badass cutscene like when Isabel was taking control of the laser.
uh? who is cortana?
My money is on the Ur-Didact. He can't be too happy knowing some AI is trying to claim his mantle.
Cortana should already be dead, and Halo 5 should just have a villain using her Avatar.
ActiveShard calm down he's new to halo
These still give me damn goosebumps almost a year later
I thought 343 messed up big time, but nope, they made a ring sized comeback.
i have watch this like 30 million times and i never get tired. This thing is amazing and i hope halo 6 just get even better following this steps!
I’ll say once: I think we can have a successor to the master chief with jerome here. A soft reboot for the saga that is. Either that or they come up with a big new idea for halo. I see fit a sequel that works as the 1st modern warfare reboot in which they tell the plot filling the gaps between the main chapters 4/5/infinite. I see as a cool idea
Anyone else notice Cutters first broadcast to Jerome he says "Prep Spartan red team AND a small recon squad"?, does that mean red team aboard the Spirit of fire consists of more than just the 3 that are deployed in the initial recon scene and are subsequently followed throughout the game?, Like if you want to see more of the ledgendary Spartan II's, and an eventual reunion of all living Spartans for an epic fight to once again save humanity!!!!!
Yeah that ending was... really abrupt and disappointing.
How? It gave me Halo 2 fibes
elektron117 Gave you Halo 2 vibes because it was a cliffhanger. At least Halo 2's wasn't intentional and was a compromise, otherwise the game would've been cancelled due to budgeting and time constraints.
A good game should leave you satisfied at the end, not like this. This ending just raises far more questions than it answers, which is annoying.
FuZaH what questions
FuZaH this is just a side game, if you ask me the ending of Halo Wars wasn't satisfying too
FuZaH Don't worry there is gonna be campaign DLC.
This is the Haloest Halo that has ever Haloed in recent years, not counting the Anniversary Editions.
Okay wow I wasn't expecting this to be great. This was really awesome!
my god, this makes halo 6 speculation be wild. will the infinity find Anders?!
Colbrax 1996 hope so. blue team and red team fighting alongside each other. cant wait.
Ibrahim Malik Plus some Brute type weapons to add to the mix will be great. I've been wanting to blow some enemies away with the Bruteshot or Grifshot to all the RvB fans out there and basically feel like the Meta again.
Also they need to bring back the brute chopper. They better bring back brutes. Bring back both plasma rifle variants. Brute and elite. And i swear to god 343, have a unsc air craft vehicle at release, not later in mutiplayer available only in req packs. And since we know prometheans are gonna be back. Plz 343 add thier own set of vehicles than just phaeton and great ships, the forerunners mustve had some ground vehicles then just aircraft dont they 343? And seriously microsoft remove req packs, no more reqs, its one of the things i absolute hate about halo 5. Bring back the times where we earn armour sets through challenges basiclly giving us a proper goal rather than going through reqs for an armour piece we want or idk bring back armour customization from reach, imo halo 5 customization was lacking compared to reach where had so many options, we were able to mix and match diffrent armour pieces from shoulder pads, chassis, helmets, knee pads etc. Halo 5 its just helmet and body armour and thats it and if u could visor colour. I have hope for halo 6 but i hope reqs are taken out and we get the system we love in halo 3 or the credit system in halo reach where we can mix n match pieces
Ibrahim Malik Your talking my style man. The customizable way they had it on Halo Reach was my favorite one, especially when the armor was more real like touch to the look. The credit system and challenges to earn a good chunk of creds was nice. As far as the vehicles, if this is the last one in the story, why not bring back all of them from the UNSC, Covenant with Banished variants and more Forerunner and as you mentioned some ground versions and hell, bring back Forge World in all it's glory. For weapons, bring back the best version of each like the Halo 3 Bruteshot, the Halo 4 Binary Rifle and like the Halo 1,2 and 3 Plasma Rifle as a few examples.
Lets just hope 343 give us all this stuff and hopefully redeem halo. I have faith considering wat ive seen from halo wars 2.
I just can't get over the fact that Blur cutscenes are just, beautiful.
Harrambe got his ass kicked.
Killermickey i lold.
lmao
James Cutter is someone I would follow to hell and back. A true leader. I don’t care if people think the Spirit of Fire is still lost. I’d choose to be there.
Omg it would be so awesome if Jerome is in halo infinite and his A.I is Isabelle. I still like chief more tho. Chief will always be #1 and the all time favourite.
Serinas goodbye and a lot of things in halo wars 2 cutsences sent a chill down my spin in a VERY GOOD WAY.
With Jerome fighting like that, he would of kicked chief and lockes ass in their bitch slap competition in halo 5
The Commendatore Yeah, Hes talking about how the fight went down and how Jerome fought the elites and brutes ofc jerome would slap both about if thats what he means
TYSM i've been waiting for ages for this
in all fairness I don't think the ending is that bad, but I feel it's unsatisfying. it invalidated literally everything you set out to do at the beginning of the game: reconnect with the unsc and stop the banished. in the final moments you're pooling all your resources into securing your getaway, all while fighting off endless hordes of banished. then suddenly your escape plan gets yanked away from you, the banished are still around, and the game ends, leaving you not wanting more, but a little frustrated because "that's it...?" and I think that's the main issue everyone has with halo wars 2's ending
TheDaedalus07 but the story accomplishes what it set out to do... you don't tell Shakespeare that you don't like his tragedies because they are to sad... halo wars 2 set out to reintroduce the SoF to the current time line, it did that, to introduce a new faction, it did and well enough without destroying them in the first outing. And it connected with halo 5. You the player were fighting to save the SoF from the new threat you beat them back and sent Anders out to contact the UNSC... it setup nicely for future games which is what everyone should expect from a giant space opera and epic sci-fi story that halo is known for. I agree I wanted more but we got plenty of value here for a game that might never have been made, we should celebrate that and tone done the criticisms to a more realistic level... mainly because we contradict ourselves... halo 2 is fine for cliffhangers. Then we want contained story lines, but then the story feels rushed so we don't like halo 4 because it was to condensed... and now we don't like cliffhangers. We are satisfied with halo 2s ending now because we have that closure... when we get that for halo 5 and HW2 we will come around again... that is the point of a cliffhanger to have you begging for more.
Simple. Your priorities change. The Spirit of Fire, before knowing about the danger the Banished represents to the galaxy, needed to join up with the UNSC.
After the Banished are discovered, however, they instead focus on trying to destroy them; the Halo wasn't an escape, it was meant to be sent with a message, and be a way to get more UNSC to arrive at the Ark to help defeat the Banished.
did this dude seriously just compare this shit to shakespeare? Wat?
OP you're absolutely spot on. Nothing was accomplished throughout the game. Nothing except killing a covenant carrier and creating a new halo array. That's it.
12:45 Cutter wanted ALL the smoke.
Weeeeeeeeeeelp can't wait for Halo 6 now
1 month baby
Anders was transported with Installation 04c to Threshold so that she would be relatively close to Reach so that she can use Reach's COMs relay. Boy, is she in for a surprise when she gets there.
Reach has been repopulated since the end of the human-covenant war. Her plan is still possible.
Wasn't that lush shot of Reach at the end of Halo: Reach taken during the 2580s? I have a feeling that at the time of Halo Wars 2, there is still a lot to be done to make Reach habitable. Either way, she's going to be in for a shock, because the landscape has changed.
well know we know who another enemy for halo 6 is.
6:55, Spartan. with a long-ish range weapon, was no more than 20 feet away from Atriox, whose head was unarmored. They missed a perfect opportunity to cripple enemy leadership. Come on man!
uuuuuhm energy shield you forgot?
At no point in the fight scene is Atriox clearly shown to have such a shield. Moreover, his head lacks a helmet, meaning the shield, if there is one, may not cover it.
all of these enemies and vehicles better be in halo 6, and if they are combined with covie remnants and swords of sanghelios they would actually make a perfect game
Ok whoever wrote this game understands that Halo doesn't need to be Terminator meets Alien, meets DCCU, they understand that the game needs a simple goal to be good. Unlike the last 2 games that were trying to hard, this felt like it was just right. #MakeHaloGreatAgain
The cutscenes are so fucking awesome holy fuck! 💦 lol
22:36 - Notice how the Shipmaster flinches when Atriox whips back around. Really interesting touch on how fearsome Atriox is.
I suppose now the questions are: Is this the same Halo ring we saw Cortana take control of in the Legendary End Cutscene of Halo 5: Guardians? And, is Spartan 092 & Isabel the beginning of a new Spartan - A.I. power team that will take the place of the Master Chief & Cortana in future Halo titles?
Vanillaraccoon Hopefully
If they do tie this in with the main series I could see Isabel and Roland being very funny together
I doubt it. Most people don't even know who Jerome or Isabel is, because Halo Wars isn't very mainstream.
They'd be more confused that a franchise known for a blue AI and faceless protagonist now has an orange AI and a protagonist that can take off his mask.
halo story is back to being badass
HALO IS BACK EVERYONE HALO IS HALO AGAIN!!!
Airas Laitis we just have to trust that 343 won't fuck uo the story.
FIRESTORM
flood? that what you call them?
what is flood?
i....play halo? what are you talking about?
i never play game before
I love how it shows that Spartans can still be taken down and that their not all that invincible. And the cool awesome fight scenes.
Wait... was that it?
evilphoenix 007 no it didn't. Halo wars only had 26min while Halo wars 2 has 27
Xstille A no it had an hour
Scorch Just cutscenes not story development. Cutscenes were 26 minutes, storyline is roughly 1 hour. While Halo Wars 2 has 2 hours of gameplay story from what I've seen
Halo Wars 2's story is definitely told more through gameplay than story, but that's fine.
Never use a cutscene if you can't justify it. Cutscenes should ALWAYS develop characters/plot or convey objectives. If a cutscene doesn't do either of those things, it's a waste. (Halo 5 is an example of that. Too many cutscenes just showing the characters arriving at a location.)
Halo Wars 2 makes up for this discrepancy with a lot of dialogue during loading screens, and in gameplay, and with tons of game-rendered vignettes with dedicated animations.
+Scorch The first Halo Wars definitely did NOT have an hour's worth of cinematics in it. You must be basing that off of that one UA-cam video that added a ton of gameplay scenes plus a trailer and the game's credits.
Isabelle’s insane laugh/ squeal at 22:15 is one of my favorite parts.
$10 Atriox dies by a knife in his throat in halo 6
$30
Haze345 you must be joke
he didn't die
spartan douclas-042 In Halo 6...
It's a waste character joke they did to Jul Mdama
I loved Isabel's reactions to all of Jerome actions. Especially when he jumped out of the carrier. Classic Halo.
Holy shit I need halo 6 now.
sirlulzalot same
I love how dark and gritty it is! Halo is back!
another shitty ending. gotta hand the shit ending award to 343
How was that in any way shit
Horacio Cuevas I fail to see how it was a shit end. It seems alright to me, also basically confirmed halo wars 2 having involvement with halo 6.
Horacio Cuevas it was pretty good. tells us how the ring on halo 5 legendary ending came into cortana's possession. hope fully chief encounters cutter on the ark. that would be sick as.
Damn, maybe that was First Guardian activated???? [by Cortana of course]
Halo 5 takes place from October -November 2558. Halo Wars 2 takes someplace in 2559
Some if this genuinely looks live action, I don't know what anyone else thinks but Blur should make a feature film
How do they even know what a halo is?
it's probably going to be an in game conversation
probably asking Isabel the purpose of the ark
TheMitochondria. Actually they cover that when cpt. Cutter tells Alice that Isabel has prepared a brief packet... it is reasonable everyone was briefed... to know about the ark, banished, and halos.
So
well wrong my name kid
Isabel probably did a whole history lesson on the missing years
The game was surprisingly fun! Felt like Halo.
f@cking epic
Just finished the campaign in a 12 hour marathon. Besides some cringy Isabel moments and the cliff hanger, I'd say this is story was AMAZING
Is Alice dead
ct1537 Spartans never die
ct1537 no, if you don't want it spoiled look no further
I believe she is rescued in a mission
That's not a spoiler. That's your guess on a game that doesn't even have a teaser yet.
Not a guess, game has been out for at least 24 hours in Australia/New Zealand
Sorry, read it as Anders.
They need to give us a Jerome solo game like the Chief story and his AI is obviously Isabell.
The cinematics are freakin epic 10/10.....................
But that ending was shit
I was specting to see the reunion of the blue team and the red team and also the reunion between halsey and Anders,
Oh and also i was specting to see the returning of the flood, as we saw on Halo Scalation...............................
343 Industries confirmed that there would be NO Flood in the Game.
All of the Flood was killed and Serina terminated herself in the Comic Book, Halo Tales From Slipspace.
+War Master
So what was that scene we saw on halo scalation?
Halo Escalation was made to Terminate all the characters and stories from Halo Spartan Ops.
Like I said all the Flood on the ship was killed and Serina terminated herself.
There are multiply videos here on You Tube that explain everything that happened in Halo Tales From Slipspace.
+War Master
Well ok
But i still want see the reunion between the blue team and the red team
Halo 6 will pick up where Halo Wars 2 left off.
That whole Isabel scene around 19:00 gave me chills
:D
D:

UberNick is one of my favorite Halo UA-camr of all time 😊
I love you man!
LOL SPOILER ALERT The game looks fun tho..
watching the banished carrier get its front end sliced of by sentinels will always be awesome
Okay who hired the lesbian AI
Vengeful Videos GOD DAMNIT SJWS!
I don't think seeing the Spartans in the cutscenes will ever get old. They're so darn cool looking
better than the halo tv series in 25 minutes flat... take a note microsoft please :)
I like Isabel's scream as Jerome jumps from the Supercarrier!
22:15
