I think the Cole Protocol is pretty specific on where Keyes' ODST tattoo is. If I recall, it says that the ODSTs who gave him the tattoo tore his sleeve off, meaning that it is on his arm.

Another fun fact about Zuka Zumamee is that he is also known as the "ellite that hunted Chief but was always one step behind". In the book, when Chief and Zuka finally met face-to-face, it states that Zuka has brought a shade turret onto the lift, but Cortana has deactivated the lift causing Zuka to fall to the bottom of the shaft without a fight. He did survive, albeit heavily injured, and all he could do was wait until the PoA exploded. In summary, Zuka is honestly the definition of bad luck. Also, a few of these I recently learned by going through random pages of Halopedia, like the Reach anniversary map's reference pictures and the Last Exit remake of Marathon's survival games.

He was actually finished off by Chief. She dropped the lift so they couldn't shoot at Chief, Chief rolled a couple grenades down in there with them, and then after they blew up Chief rode the lift up like in the game.

It's always funny to me when you talk about the Scarab Elevator thing in H3. For the longest time I thought that was the *only* way to do it. I never put together that you can just... blow it up, I thought you *had* to go up the elevator, board it, and do it that way.

3:13 dont remember if this counts, but atleast in the general command structure 5 stars is never used. The only commander to be alive when awarded it (General of the Armies) was general Pershing, although only ever wore 4 stars on his uniform. If you are wondering who the other person to be awarded it was, it was GW.

[@robertharris6092]

Thats only america though. And hes an admiral not a general.

[@simplygarza8511]

Fascinating History is to be had with ranks higher than a 4 Star General (In the US, at least). The rank of General of the Armies is higher rank wise than a 5 Star Officer (General of the Army/Fleet Admiral). Although no official insignia was made for General of the Armies, it was debated if 6 stars could have been worn if the appointed Officer wanted to. Recently, 137 years after his death, Ulysses S. Grant was also posthumously granted the rank of General of the Armies in December 2022 to celebrate his 200th Birthday, but it has yet to be officially appointed by President Biden. There was a General of the Army Rank in the post Civil War years, first worn by Grant (a 4 Star insignia). William T. Sherman and Phillip Sheridan wore a new insignia for their appointments to General of the Army; 2 stars with a centered Coat of Arms insignia. General of the Army was phased out with Sheridan's death in 1888. In 1903, Admiral George Dewey was promoted to Admiral of the Navy, the first and only of its kind, as it ceased to exist with Dewey's death. (It would have been equivalent to a 5 Star, but the insignia was 4 Stars with 2 Fowled Anchors placed on the outer stars) General of the Army/Fleet Admiral was reinstated/revised in 1944 with the 5 star insignia. From 1944-1950, there have been a handful of 5 Star Generals and Fleet Admirals: GA George C. Marshall GA Douglas MacArthur GA Dwight D. Eisenhower GA Henry H. "Hap" Arnold (General of the Army Air Forces, then later US Air Force. Hap was the only person to hold the 5 Star rank in 2 separate branches - Army and Air Force.) FADM William D. Leahy FADM Admiral Ernest J. King FADM Admiral Chester Nimitz FADM William F. Halsey. Since General Bradley's death in 1981, there has yet to be another 5 Star Officer appointee. There was congressional and public favor to promote 2 Generals to a 5 star for efforts in the Persian Gulf War, Generals Collin Powell (the then Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. (then Commander of US CENTCOM). Both were not carried out, either for political reasons (Powell) or other reasons (Schwarzkopf). General Petraeus was also advocated for the 5 Star rank for his leadership in the Iraq Campaign of the Global War on Terror, but he retired as a 4 Star.

[@Spoondogg]

Dang thats crazy, American's really be calling George Washington GW like anybody else in the world gives a fuck

[@tetermc]

New Alexandria had way more detail than it had any right to. You could fly to any rooftop and it would be fully textured with all of it's own unique architecture and details. Compare that to the pelican flying mission in Halo 4 where if you went out and explored, the only thing you would find is super low detail textures and many objects with no collision. Bungie went the extra mile.

[@Sealedaway]

The reason everything was fully textured was because there’s a big pool of possible objectives being randomly assigned to you. The level literally plays out differently every time it’s loaded. New Alexandria is absolutely iconic.

[@iga6331]

With the Focus Rifle in firefight on installation 04, the reason you have to option to switch is because when using the monitor you actually briefly have access to the focus rifle when changing forms in forge. I'm assuming the same model of guilty spark is used from forge to firefight thus giving the option to trade, but not obtain the weapon

[@Kiro010]

16:20 I like to think that the Ferrex easter egg was more of like Fe = Iron = Found in Blood, which is why Rex was written in Blood.

[@beastmode1915]

I also think that Sniper achievement in Infinite is also a reference to Buck’s line to Romeo in ODST at that start of the NMPD HQ mission where he says “Make some noise. I got your back” and I say that bc Romeo has a Sniper. Could be wrong but just something I picked up on

[@MultiGamingNetwork03]

24:30 Traxus isn’t a conspiracy, it’s flat-out a Megacorporation, that builds not only heavy industrial equipment like Forklifts, trucks, and heavy mining vehicles, but also industrial supplies like (as shown) extinguishers and metallurgy tools, in addition to the warehouses they own. As such, I believe it’s a full-on Vertical Integration Company that mines, processes, and makes its own equipment which it sells to others.

[@djwhite7664]

I'm surprised you referenced the hippo thing and not the Elite dialog. If you get a chance to listen to the Elites long enough on Halo CE, I think it was the level everyone is sleeping, one will say "hip, hip hop, hip hop anonymous". I think it's a reference to Big Daddy where they are doing the flash cards learning to read and Rob Schneider's character is trying to pronounce hippopotamus.

Hey guys. I think I have a theory abt the reach glyphs, the winter contingency ones. If you play ce, more specifically assault in the control room. When you walk through the S shaped (best way to describe it) halls. You can see a glyph higher on the walls. The glyphs are very similar, if not the same. I hope y’all can figure something out. I think that maybe the locals found something they couldn’t describe. Aka something forerunner with the same symbol, then they decided to just use the symbol for the outpost. We also know that Reach contained forerunner artifacts. Please respond and lemme know what you think

I was like 14 years old beating the Halo 3 vidmasters to get recon. I was so excited I made a bunch of theater posts saying “I HAZ RECON”. The only other way to get it before the vidmasters (as they actually didn’t come out till 2009 when odst dropped) was to get a featured map, game mode, or photo in the bungie weekly update. One of my friends got recon that way and I was so jealous that I grinded the vidmasters until I got it. Anyway, this was a refreshing video so thank you for the nostalgia

[@ChiefChex]

The hidden/ extra attention to details are what made these games so good. Graphics are the main focus nowadays so there’s less time for small details that make or break a game sadly.

[@simplygarza8511]

3:13 In Halo 2, Lord Hood has 1 star with slick shoulder boards. In Halo 3 (pictured in the vid), he had the 4 Stars with 4 shoulder board stripes. In H2A, he wears 1 star like in H2, but with four shoulder board stripes, which is funny because it is the Rank Insignia of Captain. In the Halo TV show, he is finally represented with the proper 5 Star insignia of Fleet Admiral.

The Hippo logo is from Wideload Productions, a smaller game company that used Halo CE's engine to create a game called Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without A Pulse.

[@MadisonM1996]

The elevator on The Storm is one of my favorite things in all of Halo. I've used that to fight the Scarab since way back in the early years of Halo 3. If you time it right then you can jump from the upper platform to the top of the Scarab. And recently I discovered that you can actually drive a Ghost to the elevator platform and bring it up with you. I actually managed to board the Scarab by boosting off the upper platform with the Ghost and it was honestly one of the coolest things I've ever done in a Halo game!

[@NorthSeaRaider]

Another interesting detail that nobody else seems to remember but me but in the 360 version of Reach if you fired a fully automatic weapon for awhile and swapped to monitor mode in Forge you very briefly fire a beam rifle suggesting the “shoot” trigger would’ve fired a laser but was cut. Never heard mention of this but I tested it several times on 360 and it worked.

[@ruldadsly]

I'm still proud of myself and my highschool buddies for getting Recon from those VidMasters within 2 weeks of them dropping.

[@DeamonChocobo]

One thing you can do in Halo 2 (original, not sure if it was fixed in Anniversary) is climb around Cairo Station in the area you first go outside because the low gravity allows you to get over or around invisible walls.

[@DigitalApex]

19:45 Probably already said by someone else but I'm not reading 300+ comments, but in Halo: Reach's Forge mode, when you switch over to the monitor mode and hold down the fire button, the monitor will (very briefly) shoot a focus rifle beam. It seems like a bit of leftover code or something, but it's basically the same beam that Spark had at the end of Halo 3. If you switch back and forth from Spartan and Monitor in Forge mode and hold down fire, you can actually engage the beam multiple times and you can even hear a Focus Rifle shooting for less than a second.

Second comment of the day. @ 24:00 you mention the bomb in crows nest is just a reused asset of a fuel tank. you are 100% correct. i would just like to point out it is VERY similar to the Bomb device used in the Tv Series Stargate SG-1. in the Cheyenne mountain military complex they have a self-destruct mechanisms for emergencies. the bomb in halo 3 is almost identical to the bomb device shown in SG1.

[@TheFutureGadgetLab]

The reason why on reach it asks to swap the focus rifle is because the 343 model (character itself) has a focus rifle built in. in forge even tho you can't shoot as 343 if you shoot auto as spartan and quickly switch to 343 you'll actually shoot the laser out of his eye. why wasn't this in the list!

I know not an offical easter egg or anything like that, @5:18 yes H3 was the first game to introduce the transport warthogs. howsoever the very first time many players had encountered them was Halo CE PC days. I will never forget seeing and using the Recon Warthog's on Coldsnap, Extinction, and Big Ass. im sure it was on other maps that are lost to time tho. like there was a metro Mombasa map that had a motorcycle and a remake of Death island in CE PC that also had them just cannot remember the modded map names. anyways not offical yes. modded yes. Just wanted to add that the first time many players had seen the Transport (Recon) warthogs was Halo CE PC. I truly do love that bungie took fans input into their games. edit: bonus, The recon-hog in Halo CE PC, spartans can get in all of the seats. so technically it is superior to the h3 variant XD edit 2: if anyone can help me remember the name of the metro map i am thinking of i would love you. all i remember is there was a motorcycle that had the gun-goose miniguns in it.... there was also gungooses on that map AND there was a secret hidden in the map where you could get out of bounds and pick up a giant "gun" that was just a black rectangle that fired thousands of swords. they were like Broadswords not energy swords.

18:47 something that amused me about the memorial scene is that they have 117 scratched in, next a rank insignia found on the navy's dress blue uniform. people may guess that that's the emblem for a master chief, and they would be partially correct, but more accurately, it's the rank insignia of THE master chief. not John, but the MCPON: Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. there is only one of them in the entire navy, and they are the highest ranking enlisted member of the navy. this is not a title John would actually hold, as the position itself is that of an advisor, reporting directly to the CNO, the Chief of Naval Operations (who, at the time, was Lord Hood.)

Here is Something interesting, not about the games for say, but just in General. Although being seen Heavily in Halo 2, The Brute/Elite Honor Guards were never made in Action figure Form. Although Mcfarlane toys owned the halo line up until 2015, making figures from all mainline games, they never made any Version of the honor Guards, or the high counselors. This also goes for the other companies that made Halo action figures, Including Joyride, Mattel, and Jazwares. The only form we have is a (practically lego halo) Mega bloks figure, usually found in poly bags, or very rare sets. These are very sought after as they are almost the only merchandise we have of the Honor guards.

if I remember correctly, you can shoot down the dogfighting banshees in reach even if they're far away.

If you're familiar with digital roots (a math technique where you take a larger number, and you add up every single digit in sequence, like 123 being 1+2+3 = 6) 2401 has a digital root of 7. 2 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 7

I vividly remember the Halo 3 keychain of the shotgun shell with the hippo on it.
