Gonna?! Hell I look back on the few uplifting (not memeish) ones all the time, hearing my childhood hero, Master Chief, talking to me like as if he knows me well, it's just... Divine. Uplifting... It's so much

[@mega-chad8809]

I think he did

[@Cxncubine]

Today he did, and I will thank him.

[@MrTheDudeManGuy]

One day, he just saved mine

[@natesturm448]

This shit hits me pretty hard. I'm a combat veteran that has dealt with a lot of mental strife and loss of friends. Even though Chief is just a game character I feel like he's a brother in arms with this. Thank you for making this video. It helps a lot of people more than you'd think. Even us real vets.

I was fired from my job yesterday, it feels so unfair that after years of struggling I finally found a good thing but got it taken away yet again by evil people. I'm tired of getting kicked in the soul. Thank you for posting this.

[@halodude7167]

I understand you, fam. I had the same thing happen earlier this year, spent 6 years learning and getting very good at my profession, only to lose it in an instant. These kinds of videos started popping up around that time, and they really helped keep me on the side of perseverance rather than giving up, and now I've got a new job with lots of good people who I very much enjoy spending 8 hours a day with.

[@Oinjuice]

This made me cry. Chief is like the dad I never had. Thank you Master Chief, you’ve changed my life since 2001 w the first gen xbox.

[@Oinjuice]

Also thank you to the creator of this channel. This is something that needed to be done. You are a spartan.

[@StarFighter748]

Its intresting that i have heard people say things like this to me and others, and it sort of just washes over. One ear and out the others. But...its odd when you hear it from a character like Master Chife. It oddly hold a lot of weight when its coming from a character that one may look up to when they were younger.

[@MildSoul137]

Sometimes people don’t hear the message at the right time or from the right place. A lot people were told some basic things back in school, but it wasn’t until they needed to hear it and from a lot of talking heads on the internet that it really resonated. Often it just is what it is of what interests us

[@jeddelpozo]

I guess it also hits us a lot harder if it comes from someone we look up to, fictional character or not.

[@Gingrman-mx4sp]

I don't even have depression and this brought tears to my eyes.

[@Shnap1337]

It mean it with all sincerety when I say these videos helped me to file my taxes last month and get my adult life a little more organized.

[@christiantorres7866]

Jesus, I really REALLY needed this.

[@vindikaktus]

Dont know if this is getting too real for a YT comment but as someone that has dealt with psychosis in the past and is currently worried about being pushed over that edge for the third time, it was kinda inspiring when you talked about having faced battles before. My brain knows its just an AI dressed in MC's armor, but its still comforting. I think im gonna resume my old psychiatrist sessions. Thank you for this.

Currently laying in bed; struggling against what feels like another self in my head. The other self wants me dead. Hearing Master Chief tell me that things are going to be okay is legitimately bringing tears to my eyes. I feel things might actually be okay.

I've quoted this a few times. To my brother. To some people I've had to go help. I'm a cop and have told some of these things to people who were brave enough to call and ask for help.

[@gwyndolin1536]

Thanks Spartan Dad. Life can be a heavy burden sometimes.

[@marshallleevalentine]

I went through a lot in my life. A terrible childhood riddled with foster homes, abuse, and pain. My life didn’t get better in my teens and my adult life was filled with depression and terrible decisions. From abusive relationships to substance abuse. The amount of times I tried to game end is staggering, even going so far as to getting addicted to painkillers, alcohol, and caffeine to speed the process. My life didn’t start going anywhere until my late 20s when I finally started taking control of my life. I am happy to say that I am surviving into my 30s, happily married, been clean of painkillers for about 5 years now, and my addiction to alcohol has been kicked and my caffeine addiction is manageable. I started making KZbin content and following my dream of making a web comic at the same time. I needed this because the struggle is still very real. I still deal with those dark thoughts and still struggle to understand what I am supposed to do now that I’ve made the decision to live. It does get better, those thoughts are wrong about life.

[@black8aron965]

This will probably get lost in the comments, but thank you for reminding me to keep fighting. Even if I feel hopeless

[@Num1koolaidman]

My best friend who I beat Halo Reach + 1-4 on LASO challenge with took his own life later last year. I can’t help but think of the quote from reach, “Spartans never die, they’re just missing in action.” I’ll be finishing them on my own to remember him 🔥

[@TrentonOn0ne]

The fucking golden gate bridge behind Chief killed me, no pun intended.

[@Adamcito.]

I knew about this video for some time now, never imagined I would need it. Even though I will NOT kms, intrusive thoughts are a thing, a very scary and dark one. It's been a rough week, all of this is new to me. I'm almost on the top of the hill now, fking wish I don't roll downhill again.

I'm praying for u

[@brolydictcumberbatchmontou401]

I remembered hearing this a year ago and it has been a month now since i was dealing with suicidal ideation. Synthetic Soundsmith while in it i remembered this video and it did save me hearing the comforting fatherly warrior voice of Sierra117 guide me. I came back to this channel for inspiration and in a way you saved my life. Suicide rates are high in my cultural background and i have lost many family and friends in the past few years to it. It had affected me all the grief i took on. So i would like for you to know your words saved mine. Brother in Arms! Masterchief is like every ones Video Game father. Especially for those who didn't have role model like him in our lives. I know I thank Steve Downes for the iconic voice talents that gives soul to the character you further expand upon with these motivational posts.

[@TheSaddestMan]

Thank you Chief. You have no idea how many times I’ve almost given into those thoughts. Thank you.

[@Endertoxin]

You can never guess just by looking at someone to if they have such thoughts. I've had a person close to me give in to those thoughts, and when they did it it ruined my life and mental state for over a decade. Luckily, I had plenty of people to keep me from doing the same thing. Always be there for your friends, I learned that years ago. Be the person that helps them, dont let them suffer in silence. Surrender isnt an option. Spartans Never Die.

[@ZornyPooh]

Thank you for that amazing message. And the timing is amazing, suffering from BPD, lately I had my "dark" days

[@dajnor]

BPD is rough bro. When I get an intrusive thought, I say no, and play one of these instead now. It may seem silly for some, but its so refreshing compared to the spiral you can end up in. I'm choosing a new mindset. We're gonna do it bro, hang in there.

[@ALWAYS_CABOOSE]

We all have our inner demons we deal with and fight. But we are never alone. There is always a safe haven for us to go to. I know i needed to hear this. I just hope it reaches out to someone who also really needs it

" Chief true words has been spoken lot of people out there are struggling day to day life just to get through but each individual has to face their fears of reflection if they are ready to accept it, but chief let's be real here there is no true darkness then that the halo tv series paramount has created now will always be with you and with us towards the grave after a long period of silence" " Ya...idk where the future headed for better or worse one of us has to bite the bullet and that isn't either of us around here or you but the staff who neglected that history and the studio who gave up on ya kudos to you chief hope for the next they will do the right thing."

[@marco8414]

I needed this. The last 10 years of my life have been on and off medical issues, and specifically the last 2 years have been constant hospital stays and surgeries. I had a major operation in August last year that really changed my life, but it didn't fix all of the issues that the doctors thought it would. After more office visits I was told that I would most likely need another major operation within the next few months after more tests. I've gone through so many operations in my life, but each time I feel like I'm being chipped away more and more. I don't know how much more I can take. But I'm so thankful for the friends and family that I have around me, they all truly make me forget about the pain and suffering for at least a little while. The road is hard, but we must keep our heads high because there are brighter days on the horizon.

[@grizzerz64]

I never thought I'd needed this kind of help, but I cant thank you enough for pumping out inspiring content like this. You have more than likely saved many lives just from this video alone.

I couldn't do that to my cat. She wouldn't understand. But that doesn't make life feel any better. Just going through the motions. I'm not going to say this kept me off the ledge or I'm suddenly hopeful and optimistic. But... hearing Chief say all this... it did make me feel seen. And a reminder I'm not alone in this fight. This didn't miraculously fix me, but it did give me a spark to keep going a little longer. Thank you. Edit: I've actually never played Halo, but I do play Brawlhalla.
