​@LUCYJROBYN I really like your personality!

[@ryanparker4996]

Spartan are not born, they are made And Spartans Never Die

[@uh-ooooh]

This is why I love the original Halo storyline from the OG creators. There's so much rhythmic writing to the overall lore, how human-centric it was, how positive they see humanity without shying away from its ugliness. Even with how poetic the firing of the Halo rings were - in order to protect life, we must end. It's why they chose to never reform. It's like they accepted they were not worthy to protect life so they left it for their children who they believed were more worthy

[@yobud6637]

Such an incredibly underrated and underrecognized part of Halo! I'm so glad you're taking the time to enjoy this along your journey 😊

[@Troggerz]

5:30 This is actually a bit of a contentious topic in the halo community! Bungie's vision was that Humans are Forerunners but with 343i / Halo studios they separated the two into separate species

[@LUCYJROBYN]

Oh interesting!

[@dittoking8996]

@@LUCYJROBYN Yeah the Bungie version is a lot better and 343 made it very complicated and it was just one of many reasons why the franchise begins to diminish from 4 and on.

[@angelbryan98]

Everybody knows anything after Halo 3 is not canon.

[@ThePTBRULES]

​@@LUCYJROBYNActually, it was under Bungie that they were separated into two species, during the Halo 3 terminals. It would make more sense if Humans/forerunners were one species, but also pretty basic, so I don't mind them being split.

@@ThePTBRULES There's a lot to uncover about why them as a species is very stupid but most involve Halo 4 spoilers so I don't want to give it away to her

7:36 Those forerunner ships are called Anodyne Spirit, also knows as dreadnought. They were designed for carrying indexed lifeforms and activating portal to reach the Ark.

[@lohs117]

The generic name is Keyship; the Anodyne spirit was the specific keyship housed in High Charity

[@yourpancake652]

343 Guilty Spark said during The Library that they had kept samples of the flood on the rings in order to try to research a cure. Its assumed this was so they would never have to be used again, in case the rings hadn't gotten all of the flood everywhere the first time. As the rings decayed over 100,000 years, they were accidentally released on several of the rings, most obviously installation 05, in Halo 2 where the flood had formed a gravemind.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

Yes. I think Spark mentioned, in one of the terminals, that there could even be Flood outside of our galaxy, in addition to whatever stragglers that could have went unnoticed.

[@Crazyguy_123MC]

I think you would like The Fall of Reach animated movie. You should watch it after reading because it gives a visual to a little bit of the book. The scale of Halo is just insane. Just one ring is almost as big as Earth and the Ark is over 3 times the size of Earth. The power the rings have is also so unimaginable. Just 7 rings can completely eliminate all life in the galaxy. A sad bit of lore regarding that. The Forerunners could detect the Halo array activate seconds before they pushed the button. and after they hit the button they received a transmission from an unknown species that had just announced they had made it to space for the first time not knowing their entire society would be completely gone and their species extinct in a matter of a few seconds after sending the message out. The Forerunners never repopulated themselves because they felt like it was their fault the Flood had happened and the guilt of what they had done to save the future of the galaxy weighed heavy on them. They were meant to be the protectors of the galaxy and they failed. They left everything to their close relatives the humans in hopes we wouldn't make the same mistakes they did. Its really tragic. You should rewatch the terminals and watch the Halo 2 ones because they do touch upon how the Flood came back and the Halo 2 terminals give lots of insight into lore some of which does revolve around Reach. It may give you a different view on a few characters. Also yeah the Halo 3 terminals are important in the lore but a lot of what is talked about in them has more of an impact later on in the series. There is a nice video where they actually narrate the terminals. The video is by Installation 00 and is called "Halo 3 Terminals - Revisited ft Steve Downes, Tim Dadabo & Kat Peterson - Headphones Recommended" I highly suggest this version because he does have each character voiced to match what the characters actually sound like and he even had Halo voice actors talking for parts.

[@stefan1956]

Hello lucy, I have a suggestion what you could possibly look at after Halo legends, that would be my big request! There is the animated film Halo "Mona Lisa" is really well made and you might also like that, all the Halo fans can confirm that😎😁✌🏻 Thank you for your content

[@The7DirtyWords]

Halo Legends has some amazing short stories. When you eventually get to them, you should also do the Halo Evolutions' short stories. I believe there are 3 of them, Halo: Midnight Heart of Midlothian, Halo: The Return and Halo: The Mona Lisa. They are all masterfully and tell very good short one-off stories from multiple different perspectives.

[@alex0589]

Is no one mentioning “forward unto dawn”? It’s a great short series they turned into a feature film. I think it comes right before halo 4. Live action elites are terrifying

[@christophersims7060]

The only thing you really miss about the Halo experience is waypoint by Bungie website and the years of waiting for each chapter of the story to unfold in whatever shape we could get it. Then the collectables both real and virtual. I don't know if you took the time to read all the HALO 3 terminals, they were a big part of the mystery of the story. Now the anniversary versions tell some of the waypoint stories and add some behind the scenes back stories. Coming up in REACH are Data Pads and Legendary Data Pads, they mostly talk about the current story and almost all maps and multi-player maps have a radio that play real-time messages from the battlefield of Reach. And there were the map packs that also had their own extras. So much more of an experience, when played with online friends, hunting skull and achievement hunting. These Legends tales are mostly good, the remind of The ANIMATRIX stories that came along during the The Matrix movies.

[@Johnspartan296]

The Forerunners used to be ancient humans back during Halo 2 and 3. Theres even cut content from Halo 2 that shows the Arbiter finding a forerunner coffin on delta halo, but inside is a human skeleton, which causes him to question his beliefs. All of this was changed later on in the series, with The Forerunners and Ancient Humans being a separate thing.

[@jackskellingtonsfollower3389]

2:00 These are short films taking place across multiple time periods of the franchise. Each episode features a different cast of characters with their own unique stories.

[@ISAFMobius18]

Im so glad you're watching these. Between the lore and entertainment, its such a great Anthology.

[@Enryx117]

YES, PLEASE! Whatch them all, I like these videos. The lore behind the Halo world is immense, there are so many novels, books, comics, anime, and a few movies too. Very fascinating, I strongly recommend watching all Halo Legends videos and anything you can put your hands on.

[@pedrom3392]

You should look at the main menus and loading screens for CE to 3

[@Ho_Lee_Fook]

Halo legends is so good ugh 😭

[@ISAFMobius18]

The Flood came back cause the Halo Rings and some other facilities kept living specimens to study and possibly find a cure for, incase the Rings didnt work. And when Chief and the Covenant discovered the first Halo, they unknowingly let it out.

[@blackdog6969]

The story of the Flood is pretty complex in terms of "how they came back". To avoid spoilers, the Flood waged essentially a cold war on different fronts to avoid detection and samples were kept on various installations in case of another outbreak with hopes that future generations might find a better solution than the Rings. Origins 1 and 2 are set just before Halo 4 (in terms of Cortana's perspective) so if I remember correctly, it's roughly 3 years since the end of Halo 3 based on her age

[@BIGWojo68]

YES! We would totally watch you do another playthrough of Halo: CE, 2 and 3 again! I kick myself for not watching Halo Legends when it came out. I still haven't, maybe that's what i should do after posting this comment.

[@loudman12]

I’ve listened to most of the audio books. Essentially humans and forerunners co-existed Over 100,000 years ago. Humans were advanced but the forerunners were a head. Prior to this over 1 million years earlier the forerunners essentially nearly wiped out the “ pre cursors” they seeded life in the galaxy. Every so often they’d choose a species to carry the mantle to protect life etc. Originally it was the forerunners were chosen then it was handed to the humans instead. Angered by this they chased them to the edges of the galaxy. Wiping all but a handful out. Humans and forerunners went to war as the flood had appeared via a pre cursor grounding themselves into dust and eventually through humanity finding it and using it to help a species of dog to make them docile. (Story in itself) Humans started wiping out planets with the flood spread and some of them were in forerunners worlds. This causing the war. The flood them decided to recesd thus leading the forerunners to believe humanity had found a cure. They spared humanity when they won to find this secret out as they knew the flood would return. They created the halos as an ultimate last stand weapon to deny the flood of the food source not killing the flood. Humanity at this point was de evolved to caveman level development and left on earth under the Liberian control. Fast forward to the flood returning. Humanity was stored on the halo/ark along with the other species to save. Then in halo games as the forerunners made the excellent decision (sarcasm) to keep Flood samples there. The covenant let them out, hense their return.

07:39 Yup The world (in this case galaxy) is taking over by a “Flood…….” And the “arks” are made to protect species and see them repopulate after the event takes place. Obvious reference to the Bible which you see a lot of in the Halo series.

[@lohs117]

If you look up the Halo 2 original ending on YT, you can find some animated storyboards with the Arbiter and 343 Guilty Spark finding a supposed Forerunner Sarcophagus - and inside revealing....a human skeleton. Just bear in mind this is a CUT ending and not canon anymore. Furthermore for these episodes, just bear in mind that the animators have taken some artistic and story liberties in the presentation of events, and they may not necessarily reflect what really happened.

[@GR3ND4L]

Hey Lucy, glad you're enjoying this Lore dive, I've always enjoyed these anime mini series and Halo wasn't the first to get this treatment. Nolan's Batman (Gotham Knights) and the Matrix movies (The Animatrix) also got a selection of anime short stories if you ever want to give them a try. As for Legends, it expands your understanding on what came before in the Halo universe and somewhat informs on your playthrough (Amongst other things) of the original game, even the Gravemind's words seem to have more meaning in Halo 2 "I am a monument to all your sins" when you understand what it is and how far it has come. Some have mentioned the motion comic series that may be worth a watch, they're animated adaptions of some of the Halo Evolutions short stories- Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian The Mona Lisa The Return HeadHunters All can be found here on YT. Hope you enjoy them as much as we have.

[@Glenn-x6v8s]

Omg you haveeee to watch the animated movie the fall of reach at some point. From someone who also isn't a big anime fan my goodness i remember watching it for the first time and it made the whole halo universe soo much cooler to me. They did such a good job with the characters.

[@eucri]

I'm glad you decided to react to Halo Legends! Not many people take the time to enjoy it, maybe because is animated? I only hope is not an episode a week, it will take forever 😂 Also I recommend Halo Evolutions stories, specially Mona Lisa, really terrific stuff!

[@Thormode94]

[@Ultrasonicomega]

The race she’s talking bout are the forerunners and that in the room with all the flood is medicant bias

[@TheGelatinousSnake]

Fall of Reach at least doesn’t spoil Halo Reach. Before starting the Campaign, would recommend customizing your Character Colors/Armor/Emblem. While reading, I’d play the multiplayer (or have someone else play the multiplayer for you) just to have more armor options available. All cosmetic and will not impact gameplay, just personal enjoyment.

[@orla2274]

Keep watching

[@zalf1641]

Small tip before you start with Reach: Modify your character's appearance before starting the campaign. (You will need to play the game to unlock more parts but you can change your gender/armor color and other small details before you begin)

[@--mr4yo]

It's also worth reading Doctor Halsey's Personal Journal, which released with the special edition of Reach. It's a short read. You can find the PDF online and don't have to make a video about it, but it would certainly be more than insightful. Maybe read it right after Reach in your own time or on stream but not on KZbin? Also, the "Were Forerunners humans?" question is a hot debate in the Halo community. In the story, there are some Forerunners who believe both Forerunners and Humans were created by the same ancient being/civilisation. Another take is that Forerunners began by taking a select number of humans and elevating them into something more while leaving the rest on Earth. There are lots of ideas. None conclusive. But it's clear that humans and Forerunners are related. :)

[@Cashciti]

I came from your COD: World at War play through and saw you really liked it, I think you'd love "The Last Tiger" campaign in Battlefield 5. It follows the German side and shows a similar level of brutality in the war. Please try it out!

Serious recommendation before playing Halo 4: Watch the terminals first!

[@SilverViper1000]

5:30 oh my gosh.... That's totally right 😄 Bungie intended the forerunner to be humans or at least their ancestors. Like you said it. But 343 industries changed the story to something completely different.

[@SilverViper1000]

A little recap of the trilogy and an explanation for the whole overarching story: The first time you met 343 guilty spark (in the library) he talked a lot about your armor and that you should bring better equipment. Also he talks to you like you already activated the halo array before and that you know hat you are doing. That's why he is confused when cortana explained the situation to MC and therefor stopped trying to activate halo. Also spark at his very end of halo 3 he literally told you "you are forerunner". To the forerunner story, they basically held the mantle of responsibility for the galaxy and therefor protected it. But at some point, the flood came to this galaxy and they had a very long fight against each other. After exhausting every other option, the forerunners built and activated halo. Before the firing they used the Arc to store all life on it and repopulate the galaxy with the dreadnought ships. They also built shield worlds (the thing you saw in Halo Wars or which is in the "legendary ending" of Halo 3. What exactly that is is explained in the book "Ghosts of Onyx". I can't quite remember every detail, but as far as I remember, they used to bring you out of the range of the Halo Array by teleporting you in some kind of other dimension. (but really not sure about that last part. Long time ago I read it and propably misinterpreted it) Have fun with Halo Reach and the rest of the episodes of Halo legends :) Will be a fun time. Especially Spartan 1337 😄👍

There should be no confusion really unless someone keeps telling about how Forerunners were Human. Rest of the story just flows normally as players have never seen a Forerunner literally.

[@Rajiyt98]

Hey lucy just wanted to say a very important change you are going to notice in the next couple of games post Halo reach made by 343. In all of Bungie era Halo the forerunners are essentially humans. This gives a pretty cool and ironic twist to the tragic nature of Halo where the Covenant where essentially wiping off the same gods they were worshipping. But in the 343 games humans and forerunners are seperate species which is not particularly the best of changes made by 343 for no reason. Please don't get confused as 343 heavily uses this distinction but never really mentioned it anywhere lol. I and many others in the halo community like to treat the bungie games and 343 games as two seperate universes with some similar events happening because of all the changes 343 did to avoid any confusion. Except for that just wanted to say i am loving seeing you revisit my childhood games. Your videos are awesome!

[@taquito828]

Since Halo 3 it was shown that humans and Forerunners are 2 completely different species, all of this is told in the Ark Terminals in Halo 3. The idea of ​​humans being Forerunners was discarded by Bungie.

[@Rajiyt98]

@taquito828 bs. That idea has been long ago discarded by literally the guys that made halo go and see marty's tweet also what about ,"you are forerunner". Either you do not understand plain English or are willing to give priority to some text log by Frank o Connor who keep in mind made the change in Halo 4 over all other stuff by Bungie.

A fun thing about Origins II is that the end shown was Bungie's original idea of what Halo 3 would actually be if they managed to finish Halo 2 the way they wanted. So consider it canon, unlike 343 lore. I mean, 343 lore literally vindicates the Covenant killing humanity. 343 is basically fan fiction. So in my opinion, consider canon only the lore from the Bungie era since it makes everything much more tragic.

No, it's not actually. It contradicts both 343 and Bungie's vision. It's artistic liberties taken by the team.

@Sahlan_Ahamed it literally is. If you dig up, you will see it's that. But who would want a game with enemies that at the time were mostly bad to fight? Considering the least liked levels were the ones with the Flood. Besides, 343's lore is fan fiction. It literally vindicates the Prophets decision to genocide humanity. Not only that, but Halo 2 was supposed to end with the Arbiter discovering humans are Forerunners, finding a human skeleton in a Forerunner coffin and the Elite-UNSC forces stopping Truth from activating the Halos. The original Halo 2 literally doesn't give a conclusion to the Flood, so the only logical process of thought is that Halo 3 would be a galactic scale war between the UNSC and the Arbiter-led Covenant vs the Flood. It doesn't take too mamy braincells to realise that when you see everything the original Halo 2 was supposed to be. I recommend you see about Bungie's original plan for Halo 2 to see why what i said is true before you reply.

@@oryxthechadking555 I know Halo 2's original ending, and you seem to be making up this "UNSC and Arbiter-led Covenant fighting with the Flood" when in reality, Arbiter finding humans skeletons and rest of thr fight ending is the ending of the story. There are no Flood galactic war or something. You are taking unmaterialised Halo 2 story, calling it canon, and writing your own fanfiction of this galactic war. Original Halo 2 ends conclusively with Chief and Miranda looking out to Earth. That's the end.

[@oryxthechadking555]

@@Sahlan_Ahamed Actually, Miranda was also supposed to betray Master Chief in original Halo 2, idk why, that part seems dumb. But it's not something i made up. Bungie would still be obligated to make Halo games for Microsoft and we both know Microsoft wouldn't let Halo end there. The only logical outcome would be that Halo 3 would be that, while i don't know if ODST and Reach would still be made. Seriously, do you really think Microsoft would let Bungie emd Halo there when Bungie still had a contract to make Halo games for Microsoft until 2011? I don't remember the exact year Bungie's contract with Microsoft ended, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out Microsoft wouldn't let Bungie end Halo's story with Halo 2, especially with the Flood not having a conclusion. So no, it's not a fan fiction or something i made up. It's a logical scenario. Even if there's no proof Bungie would do that, it's obvious that would be the conclusion. And i never said it was canon, that's you putting words i never said into your reply or you misunderstanding what i said. What i said is that it would be the original Halo 3 if Bungie managed to finish Halo 2, and let's be honest, it would be the most obvious thing. I mean, the Arbiter finds out humans are Forerunners, the Flood has no actual conclusion. It doesn't take 2 braincells to know the most probable next Halo game would be what i said about Humanity and the Covenant fighting side by side against the Flood. Origins II shows a small bit of what would most probably happen if Halo 2 ended the way Bungie intended. Yes, it's speculation, but it's obvious if you take in the factors i presented.
