Fun Fact: Voice Assistant Cortana in Windows and in other devices was named after the AI Cortana in Halo
I guessed that earlier, ty for verifying.
Also is voice by the VA who voices Cortana
@@FelineRaptor-gv4te same
well no shit, thought everyone knew that
@@wyattbhoffman didn’t know that! Interesting
Halo will always have a special place in my heart. I remember playing halo 2 split screen late night playing MP and campaign with my brother. The good old days.
Same here when the original Xbox came out with the bulky controllers I remember playing late at night with my bros and cousin got was a blast
Golden 👌
Poo💩
Same I’ll never forget them days
Halo 1 and 2 hold the best childhood games of my hole life I hade the best memories with thos games late night gameing looking for the ghost on lock out finding glitches beat game ever I love it
It crazy how halo 1 still looks good 20 years later
Halo 4 is 10 years old but still looks like halo infinite 😅
@@sarthaksingh5480 Please don't remind me that I'm old 🤣
@@sarthaksingh5480 Oh yeah? Play Infinite on an RTX 3070 or above with everything maxed out on an HDR Display....it is stupendously gorgeous...you peasants need to upgrade your rig....
@@insenjojo1839 Oh shut up. MC masterrace sucks
@@insenjojo1839 You must be the kool aid guy...OHH YEAH!!! I spend money on things too. Just not games that suck.
I don’t know very many people that actually liked ODST, but I loved it. First Halo game I 100% completed. I loved it. So much fun.
I sure had fun with odst I am gonna buy the halo game again because well I used to play it on my brothers disk and he moved out
It's my favorite one with Halo 4. I love it!
Halo 3 ODST is my favorite campaign by far. I love the ambience of Mombasa Streets and the ending was pretty satisfying imo.
Fun Fact: Steven Spielberg is now producing and developing a Live Action Halo Series on Showtime which now is Paramount+
film adaptations always suck
Hope is not bad as the mortal kombat 2021
Oh Wow really that sounds cool 😀
They announced that in like 2015 I’d love to actually see something on it
@@qpol forward unto dawn was meh, not the worse imo
The voice actor of Master Chief should voice more characters in cartoons, English dub anime or other video games
Ohh you used the “beluga” profile but with some sort of “hat”????
@@sfsinfinity5862 it's Beluga Jr
@@joandarc441 yeah
I guess that's what makes the master chief so iconic coz u don't associate his voice with any other character
@ALEXA,,, 👇😍 shut up
5:55 AH, nostalgia really hit me. I remember completing the Halo Wars multiple times. I still love it. Ah, the memories.
I was always a PC gamer. When I played Halo combat evolved and discovered what the game was really about. It was amazing. Especially that part when you never expected another enemy other than the Covenant. It got me out of my seat!
Fun Fact: it's pronounced "Covenant" not "Con-venent" Halo was originally an rts that was a sci-fi version of bungie's previous game "Myth". They then decided to make it a third person shooter that was for "ONLY MAC", Microsoft bought bungie and had them make it into an fps for the Xbox Halo 2 was surprisingly not received super well at release because of the arbiter take up screen time from the masterchief The deal for bungie to go independent was to make 2 more halo games, and give the rights of the franchise to Microsoft Halo CE Anniversary was badly received because of how much the "better graphics" deviated from the original art style of Combat Evolved Halo MCC released with only 1, 2, 3, and 4, and all of the games were so badly broken that they were unplayable. All of the major bugs were fixed and ODST was added shortly after as a sort of apology for how horrible the launch was, the game was then neglected for 4 years until it got a gigantic overhaul in 2018 that fixed and enhanced everything, Halo reach was added in late 2019, and all the games were released in order 1 by 1 to PC Halo 5 and Spartan strike were both 2015, not 2014, it's pronounced "Osiris" not "Oseeris". Halo 5's reception was mixed across the board, not just the campaign Halo wars 2 was received fairly well mostly thanks to fixing the art style Halo Infinite is not "the third chapter in the reclaimmer saga", it's a soft reboot and new starting point Why do these channels have to not only try to ride off the hype of highly anticipated games, but then get alot of the info wrong? If you ever want to make these videos, either fact check with people that actually know, or just leave it to the fans because we'll be meticulously accurate
My thoughts exactly! Well said
Exactly !) Moreover, over the years, many people have already made so many videos telling about the entire Halo series that anyone can get to know it in a day... Even in Russia there are already a series of videos dedicated to the story of Halo !! 😏 If they are to make a video about the entire series of Halo games, then at least do it without such big mistakes, because not all viewers will then go to check this information ( Although, I'm still glad that such videos appear, it saddens that not all of them are filmed so carefully... Even I was already going to write a similar comment, but it's good that I managed to find yours )) Well, well ... Good luck ^-^
Agreed. Also they said in halo reach they fought over planet “the reach”.
ñ
Also Osyrus not osiris
Fun Fact: the Halo Comics where created by Marvel Comics. They already made The Fall Of Reach, Blood Line, Helljumper, and Etc.
What!
Omfg dang I didn't know that
Wow
Does this include halo battle born
i read that halo comics from the library after Halo 3 released. So yes it was created by Marvel Comic.
Man, the nostalgia is absolutely tremendous! I remember playing on the Xbox with my best friend Charlie. We had so much fun doing that! I'm 20 years old now and I still play Halo to this day!
What happened to Charlie?
@@usamaaqeel7992 sadly he died by exploding a propane tank when he was 15.
@@Clay-xt9xufr??
reach was the first 360 game i ever played, definitely holds a special place in my heart
Yes, same here
Man, I have the of Xbox with the original halo, it's always the best, gives me tears.
The cat in your pfp is a real one
Halo wars was the first 360 game I played and I still play it on my new series S because I enjoyed it that much
reach is my favourite from all of them because of the emotional and interesting story. always will have a place in my heart
"Con-venant", "The Reach", "O-seer-is", Halo 4 box art is not the official art, and Halo 5 was 2015 and not 2014. Oof.
bro i just heard him saying the convenant at 11:01 and i had to see if people pointed these things out because my god that made me cringe
Yeah that was painful
I looked through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned this already. Big oof. haha
I’m honestly concerned there’s not more of us.
That was funny and when he said the reach lol
Can't believe it's been 20 years!
I first played halo 3 on my xbox 360 as a kid man the game was great.
@@jaysdaysreal same
same
bro actually cant believe it
We are getting old 😢
R.I.P. Noble Six. Most emotional moment of the whole Halo series 😭
ah yes, the fact that everyone dies instead of “just you survive and move on.”
I’m proud and happy to say Halo 3 was the first ever game I played on the 360
That's the first Halo game I ever played. I used to play it on my cousin's Xbox 360.
Master Chief Should be the mascot of Microsoft
It's kind all ready
And his is
Lol it is
@@jamzaaaaaaaYou ment to spell, "it's kinda is already". I was so confused for a minute lol I'm not throwing shame dude, but... you gotta pay attention in school more.
He is I think
They shouldve called Halo 5 Halo: Combat Devolved
🤣
🎑 no one asked xd! 🎑🎑🎑
Lol 😂
@@centivolt bruh Halo 5 sucks
😂
This game was always way above its time and generation! It rally was the game of the future! I'm so glad it's still getting the recognision it deserves to this day!
Ye
i like halo games but its community is one of the worst i ever saw. always good to impose their ideas to the others and criticizing their positivity and bitching about their tastes. i have the right to like almost every halo games , even if i recognize their flaws . i like 343 games just that i like Bungie games and you will never going to change my mind. i am a shill of neither 343 or bungie , i just like good games. i play what i want and i say what i want without that any toxic old bungie fanboy tell me what i should say and love to do. these people are the reason why the fanbase is divided and anyway i am not really a super big fan of halo. i just like fun good games that's all.
I remember playing Halo CE as a kid and was terrified by flood reveal mission. Deffinitelly one of the most memorable moments in gaming history
Halo reach is my favorite, its story is beautifully tragic and impactful; it's multiplayer is as fun as it ever was and has ever been
Yep, Halo Reach was amazing, just don't miss the spawn trapping in Griff Ball :)
It was really good. I love all the games except for guardians. Just didn't do it for me.
Yeah definitely one of the very best. Reach was a great game for Bunjie to bow out on.
Halo Reach is one of the worst Halo's in my opinion but the sceneray is beautiful. My favorites are Halo 1 and Halo 4.
@@HeavenlyWarrior in my opinion I much rather reach over 4 the gameplay is better for me the story,shading and lighting is better for me and the characters in my opinion reach is amazing.
I was hoping he’d talk about the Noble 14 from Halo 2 as a fun fact.
Wait what?
@@ABoxIsMyHome Fun fact: People loved Halo 2 so much, that when Bungie announced they were turning off the Halo 2 multiplayer servers in April 2010, people rushed to servers to play a few more times. The community then came up with the idea to stay as long as possible in matchmaking, even getting Bungie to push the server shutoff date to May. The Noble 14 were the last 14 players online on Halo 2 before they shut down the Online servers down. They each were disconnected one by one until there was no one left. Bungie thought it was so honorable, they nicknamed those 14 players “Noble 14” and gave them Beta passes to Halo Reach. It’s a pretty cool story.
@@Lotus77King oooh yeah I did know about that just didn’t know it was called that. I was thinking this was to do with Reach and somehow there was more than Noble 6 haha
@@ABoxIsMyHome Oh lol. I understand
@@Lotus77King I appreciate the thrououghness in the reply still cool hearing about it
My childhood. I remember all this growing up so much. One of my favorite games to play. Would play the campaigns over and over
Same
I remember my childhood (teenager- now) playing the halo the Master Chief collection
I love the game since I was 5 and I'm surprised that Microsoft is still making more of halo. Keep up the good work
"Convenant" and "The Reach" had me rolling 😆😆
I was grinding my teeth everytime he said that. 😂
Also the way he pronounced Osiris
You got multiple facts wrong here, namely the dates of release. Spartan Assault was released in 2013. Spartan Strike was released in 2015, as was Halo 5 Guardians. And the MCC did not launch with all six games, it was originally intended to be a compilation of Master Chief's stories (which you yourself stated but for some reason included Reach and ODST as if they were in the initial release) which only meant Halos CE-4. ODST and Reach were added in more recently.
@Derek R Oh yeah I caught that too lol. Also note the mispronunciation of "Covenant." Altogether I'll say the video is well put together but it's clear that the research is a bit surface-level.
Because this guy hasn't got a clue about Halo. He's just reading off a script and Wikipedia to make a KZhead video.
@Derek R Wasn't Halo gonna be a RTS, then became 3rd person, then finally 1st person?
yeah throughout the video I was thinking to myself that some of the stuff he was saying just didn't sound right.
@@Andrew24427 like showing a Pic of ce anniversary with an 343 logo in the bottom right corner and after that saying halo 4 is the first 343 game 🤡
Best time line description I have seen of Halo. Really helps a Halo newbie understand it better.
Halo Reach was by far the most fun Halo game for me due to forge maps, multiplayer fun and being able to even play as one of the "Convenant" aliens...It could be quite comical..
@The minecrafters Hrs and hrs in custom map forge. Xbox has to make it so laborsome to invite people though...My only complant..
Halo 3 is better. Better art design, better story, better campaign, better multiplayer, and you can also play as an elite in that game (big shock 🙄)
Finally you did it on the GOAT. I call it this is the best game series of all time
@ALEXA,,, 👇😍 could you just shut tf up
The best game series? Best joke of the day😂. Have you ever heard of God of war or Zelda games? Sorry mate but I highly suggest you to go and play these games (God of war or Zelda) then your opinion will change forever.
@@maryp.v.2013 Yes and halo 3 is the only game which I enjoyed playing amongst all the Halo games. But consider it as the best game series of all time is a big joke.Even Gta series is better that halo series.
@@harsh6285 zelda isn’t better than halo and i love both of them
@@harsh6285 i have played those and halo is better than both of them lol
The fact that Halo was born one year after I was born says so much about how I grew up with this continuously unfathomable and incredibly breathtaking franchise. No words can describe how lucky I am for being born in the right generation to experience what I loved most about Halo, not just as a game but as a story for many generations to experience. 20 Years of Halo is an astonishingly poetic journey and it's a story worth living.
Cool - i played a bit of halo 5 on my series s, and it's very awesome. I didn't like how few weapons there were in halo 4 and I had kept running out of ammo.
Wow that is so cool
I was born the year it was born
Halo was born a few months after me. But I disagree a bit tbh, that wasn’t the “right generation” for it. If anything it’d be better to actually be able to play video games since the initial release. Me and you were infants, we never got to experience the infancy of the game franchise in totality.
The fact that Halo 3 was born in the same year as me... I grew up playing the videogame on my cousin's Xbox 360.
All of that Halo CE footage really brings me back to being 5 years old and playing it on my XBOX for the first time, I'd play the same level over and over again just to be able to drive a car and I never got bored.
"Master Chief, what do you think you're doing on that ship?" "Sir, finishing this fight." This is all the marketing that Halo 3 needed.
Fun Fact: Did you know that in that time, the character Cortana was made as a Windows 10 Assistant since between 2015 - 2016
It still is.
i guessed it earlier
@@fantheorycentral1771 unfortunaly, no one asked for her
ODST and Reach are my favorite Halo games! I'm so excited to try Infinite.
No other game can touch a Halo trailer. It just isn’t possible.
My goodness, I sure am old. It feels like it was just only yesterday I was playing Halo Combat Evolved. Halo 2 will always have a special place in my heart.
“The human world known as THE REACH is locked in a war with the alien CONVENENT” Jesus.
This is one of my favorite videogame related videos from this channel!!! It's great!!
Halo CE was truly groundbreaking at it's release. From it's mechanics, AI, story, it was ahead of it's time. Coming from Goldeneye N64 as the best shooter for years, then CE.. there was no comparison between the two. It's easy to see why Halo was so successful and the formula that made it so great is the core of every FPS today.
Halo will always be my favorite and why I’ve stuck with Xbox for so long. My favorite was Halo CE. When it first came out, I wanted to get it, and I loved it. Now, I have the Master Chief collection and I love the remastered Halo CE better than the OG version.
Hello Flatlife, I been watching you for a year and I love your videos very much and when you upload I was very excited and keep up the great work! Edit: Thanks for 7 likes
That is amazing to hear! Thank you for letting me know!
@@Flatlife delete this video, do some research and remake it
you make these insanely fast, I love your vids
I try my best, thank you very much
Playing a Halo game first time, and it's Halo infinite on series s. I was very sceptical but the game is awesome. The story is very good
Then I recommend you to try Halo 3.
@@Sailer21and halo reach
Wow, es maravilloso, es increíble ver la evolución de este juego tan magnifico. Estoy anonadado
Cool huh
Qué rápido pasa el tiempo, ¿Eh?
Yoooo flatline covering halo! Man I watched you when you had 500 subs
Damn you were here very early then, that's awesome!
@@Flatlife you grew so fast ;)
Halo infinite feels like the best thing ever since halo 3
true halo 4 and 5 were a disapointment
@@saidesabhotla2309 halo 5 was a disappointment, but halo 4 had a really good story imo and other, it was just the art style for me
:( reach was very good too. The Lab easteregg
I really don't like the campaign of halo infinite
@@Pimpame ok
I remember first playing the Halo games with my big brother too. Good fun times then. 😊
I hope it will never stop. I am really sad that years go by so fast… I s go back in time to play it for the first time again.
isnt halo infinite gonna be updated for the next 10 years
Your videos are so well put together and understood. Hope your channel grows major 🙏🏾
Not even close, the info here was wrong on so many levels. 💯
@@Abel-Alvarez Dude don’t know Jack sht about halo lol
did you ht your head or something??????
Little nitpick: I'm pretty sure the wrong box art is used for Halo 4 throughout the video. Other than that, great video!
You could be right about that, thanks!
@@Flatlife wdym "could be right" he is right tf
If this man says "the convernant" one more time, I will scream
now your voice is my everyday things this channel is so addicting and Awesome
you forgot to say that MCC was added to pc in 2019-2020 one by one starting with reach in December 2019
I am really exited for Halo Infinite and one of my favourites is Master Chief collection
Nice you mentioned the top down shooters and Halo Wars 1 and 2. I can forgive the couple of small mistakes you made in relation to original inclusions with MCC however you didn’t mention Halo anniversary was playable in 3D with a compatible tv as well. This is the way I first experienced this remake. It was brilliant for the time in 3D.
*Halo Wars
When i just started to play Halo 4 after Halo 3, i was so damn happy that they made so much awesome graphic in 2012.
Halo reach was my first ever halo game i ever played *at the time i would always play firefight instead of campaign*, Truly the best.
my first was halo ce on my potato pc
halo reach IS truly the best so i agree with you!
3 was better.
“Fireteam O-sear-us” 14:41
Those split screen halo reach games hit different
Halo 3 will always be my favorite game of all time. Halo wars I think was also pretty underrated. It was fun asf
Halo 3 was 🙌 And man, Halos theme song is 🥰
HALO 3 has always been a top story for the plot as well as the graphics being very good at the time. Looking forward to playing INFINITE soon...
What did you think?
halo 3 odst is a masterpiece instead of having the power being chief gave you, you are just a common soldier alone in a city no ai, no backup, just you and a gun trying to find out what happened to your crew
I had so much fun playing Halo one and Halo CE on the pc.
Some information in the video is not 100% correct but I appreciated to see you making a Halo video
Mostly mispronunciations
Bro literally roasted cyberpunk 2077
Thank you for such a video had a good time.)
I like how the guy narrating keeps saying convenent instead of covenant like we all know he never played Halo
Anyone else remember the good old days of halo combat evolved
The best game ever!
Just watched the show and now playing the new game. I LOVE it!
Didn't you know Halo in the past?
My favorite Game in History love this game so much, and the Serie that started 2023 and have 5 Mini Books of the Franchise
Master Chief voice sonud = İTS LEGEND
Love ur Vids keep it up U have dealt with haters like they are nothing love these Vids 😋😄😄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ALEXA,,, 👇😍 Lol
I just played the career of all Halo games. For me the one stay the best for the feeling I had while playing (maybe because of the big step from older generations). Everything was new... And the music omg..
Veteran Halo fan here. Halo 3 was my favourite game for over a decade and then Infinite came out. I loved Infinite. Such a great game.
Man i miss Halo 3 it was so fun 😭😭😭
I miss those days.
I generally like to think that any game made by 343 is not canon.
Wow, good idea.
@@Sailer21 well think about it. Halo 3 is where it all ends. Otherwise whats the point of the finish the fight slogan and all that?
Verdict, anyone can make an amazing game by consuming a monstrous amount of bananas, soda’s, and pizza’s
Ok the jab at cyberpunk was hilarious lolol
7:53 Halo 3: ODST didn’t come with multiplayer modes, the physical box came with a separate Halo 3 multiplayer disc called Halo 3: Mythic and contained Halo 3’s multiplayer with all of its released maps. The footage you included is also from MCC, not the original Halo 3.
I've got 2 things to say... 1. No doubt that my favorite Halo game of all time is Halo 3. 2: Fun fact: Did you guys know that the halo devs hated the idea of Halo, and were close to "cancel" the idea?
Fun Fact: No, I didn't know that!
That's not accurate

Halo was just a different breed I will always love halo man bring good memories man idk what it is but bro so much love this game ❤️
Ah yes, the convenant.
Ikr it hurt my ears to hear that
2001 People: Man that is some amazing graphics. Me in 2021: Man that is some very very bad graphics
why would we care for graphics way back?

It’s been 20 years and halo is still my favorite
can we use other people's game footage if we credit them?

Best Halo game: Halo 3 And yes, Halo Infinite looks amazing
But is it? No
Yeah it was, the story was epic, gameplay fantastic, graphics amazing
@@JBat-Gaming None if it was good. Halo 5 has better graphics, every other Halo (except 4 and 5) has a better story and gameplay. Most of them came out over a decade ago
Halo 3 multilayer is what brought me to the series the buggy deaths and insane weapons and maps and survivability was just peak gaming🗻
So many good memories.
Plz do a Mario Kart animation ☺️☺️☺️
Honestly I like Halo 4 it was the first Halo game I ever played a lot of the missions are really fun especially the ones where you can fly
An incredible series of games. Absolutely phenomenal.
I really enjoyed Reach and 3 the most 😁
Same!!! Still play Reach to this day!!
Halo Combat Evolved proves that console FPS games can be amazing Halo 2 proves that online gaming and MLG can be fun Halo 3 proves that endings to a gaming trilogy can be spectacular Halo 3 ODST proves that a game can be really good without Master Chief Halo Reach ...... exists Halo 4 & 5 proves that you can nearly murder a franchise with just two games Halo Infinite proves that Halo can go back to its original roots
