You forgot "my name is Michael J Caboose, and I hate taxes" a reference to when he says "my name is Michael J Caboose and I hate babies" in Beaver Creak

Night ok. am sorry. also now I've seen them all too. yay!

[@TokitoTaishiro]

I forget the episode number, but 479er also says the Hans Solo line of "No, that one goes here, that one goes there" while the Freelancers are preparing to load into the Pelican. Also in the same episode, 479er starts a quote that Caboose used in the first season of "A.I....what does the A stand for?"

[@little_games_soxo8589]

Great vid! Just missed one thing: When Sarge is giving his pistol to Washington in episode 3 of season 8, he says that pistols aren't as effective as they used to be. This is a reference to Halo: Combat Evolved, in which the pistol was insanely over powered.

[@rhileygriffin4380]

if you look at the warthog in the scene about the one-liner, it shows six pedals, a reference to the qoute, "Why does it have 6 pedals if there are only 4 directions?"

[@sflaningam7680]

On the subject RVB Easter Eggs, in Halo 4 Spartan Ops, there's an achievement track where you find and shoot radios to hear messages from Sarge, Griff, Simmons, Caboose, Church, and even Vick. It's called roses vs violets. When I looked it up, I thought, ""we've officially come full circle people."

Caboose: I can’t go backwards Church: stop patronizing me Caboose: never go backwards

[@danikanickel7463]

So technically, Simmons was the first person to realize you can't copy an AI, not Church.

[@Robert-kg1ig]

In Reconstruction episode 14, when Church is looking for Tex, he says Allison before getting caught by a security guard. This foreshadows Tex's real name.

[@hoodiesticks]

How about Carolina referencing Tex's "Who's first?" from the season 8 fight scene by answering "Me first" in the season 10 battle with Tex's clones?

[@t-dawg5265]

That's not even a reference.

Is it just me or do the Halo 3 player models look way better than Halo 4/5 maybe just a better art style?

[@dusitn_]

Which one is 3 and which one is 4/5 ?

[@skeebas_2541]

It’s more simplistic so I guess it’s more detailed and it’s a more normal look for them?

[@azzythechristianfurry]

No, that’s almost a universally agreed upon thing in Halo. The simplicity of Halo 3 held up really well. Even 15 years later, the graphics and art still aged like fine wine. Kind of like TF2.

[@ItsButterBean1020]

Honestly I kinda prefer the Halo 4 look for them tbh I’m not sure why but it fits them being “Halo but not quite”

[@thevideoistheking8834]

Grif's line ''I learned it by watching you!'' is a reference to a drug awareness PSA where a kid says he learned how to use crack by watching his dad.

[@atypicallark9617]

I saw 2 things you missed : when Tex hits Church with the orecal body he says" This doesn't seem physically possible" which were Jimmys last words in Season 1 . The episode Last one out hits the lights is used as a Subchapter in halo 3.

[@richardtaylor6233]

with the shotgun code-word thing it's not like sarge was going code word right in front of Washington

[@Jedi_Spartan]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that the episodes The Sarcophagus, Hell's Angel and Spiral from mid way through season 10 basically take place on Costal Highway from Halo 3: ODST. Also the line referencing "the budget only allows for one Pelican crash per mission" N + 1 is probably a reference to the how regularly Pelicans crash in both Halo 3 specifically and the Halo franchise generally.

[@jacobdecobba7743]

When the two guys are fighting over the rifle. Is that a reference to full metal jacket, because they say "I sleep with that a rifle."

[@zachboyd4749]

I found one! In S 10 Ep 2, when the Longswords are flying in to attack to Mother of Invention, one flys right over a scrapped ship’s nameplate floating in the debris field. The name visible on the plate is “Kobayashi Maru”, which I don’t think I need to explain further.

[@ImDemonAlchemist]

Fun Fact: The body that Church was originally inhabiting was Private Jimmy's and his flashback of the fight between Tex and Jimmy is actually a butchered memory of the fight between the Meta and Carolina on Sidewinder at the end of Season 10.

[@Thisnamedoesntfit]

Spoiler alert, the body that Church uses at the beginning of the show entirely is actually Jimmy's body and they implemented the epsilon AI into him that then took his mind over.

[@lucasrickard1]

They put the alpha into Jimmy, not epsilon

[@Thisnamedoesntfit]

Lucas Rickard they're the same exact thing you dense rock

[@lucasrickard1]

Thisnamedoesntfi no they aren't, epsilon is only the memories of alpha

[@Thisnamedoesntfit]

Lucas Rickard No, they're the memories of the alpha AND Leonard Church cause the Alpha AI is based off of him, that's why he thinks his name is Leonard Church, that's how he remembers Tex and how he remembers the stuff they did to him. You're right about the Alpha being half of the memories but the other half is Leonard Church

[@lucasrickard1]

+Thisnamedoesntfi You said they were the same thing though. All I'm saying is that Alpha and Epsilon are two different entities, the only reason Epsilon remembers blood gulch is from Caboose's stories

[@pointblank4671]

Hey, did anyone else notice that in season 13 episode six- Along Came a Spider, that at 3:34 when the commissioner is talking to Locust and Felix, on the screen above with random letters it shows the letters JNPR+4, referencing Team JNPR from RWBY?

[@hollystammer1501]

You missed that black stuff that gets on Tucker's armor when he goes through a portal which is a call back to season 1 and 2

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Still love that the Reds and Blues were capable of holding off a small army of Tex robots. Really shows how competent they can be if they work together. Plus, having two former Freelancers helped even the odds further.

[@Yoda_16358]

6:24 he could have just been single firing it. I read that in halo’s lore the BR has a semi-auto option. Also you can single-fire burst weapons irl in theory (I don’t have a gun idk how hard it is). Irl burst weapons dont shoot the full burst by tapping the trigger, u have to hold the trigger like its full auto, just with a cap on how many shots can be fired per pull

[@arcticbane4398]

Awesome of how you pointed out Carolina’s grappling gun when she was falling down! Probably explains how she survived.

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

5:03 - 5:09 WTF?!!! BUT... THAT PURPLE GUY ALSO APPEARS BEHIND C.T. IN THE RECREATION DVD COVER!!! Google it now and you'll see it!!! It MUST be key to the story later on somehow!!!!!!!!!

[@dsa-fv1mq]

Season 16 will probably explain it, Griff's probably there too since he's the one teamed with doc

[@R0bilicious]

Also in Season 10 Ep 20 during Sarge's speech, Wash whistles the Pelican Escape theme when Donut mentioned getting shot.

[@S50MINECRAFT]

I wonder if while they were making the first episode of RvB if they thought it'd blow up into how popular it is.

[@bowenorcutt78]

You missed the one in season 6 where they're looking at the logs from Tex's ship, and the timestamp says that the thing crashed in 2556. Which just opens up several cans of worms, considering the big war the Director goes on about ended in 2552. Though the RvB timeline DOES match up pretty well with that, considering they mentioned that season 1 STARTED in 2552, a little ways after the events of the first Halo game. That does mean that Freelancer more or less reached Spruce Goose levels of utter failure, however.

[@Maro-gp3vf]

It's actually kinda weird that Sarge could be put into recovery mode in the first few season, since according to the series, the armor they are using in the first few seasons does not have that feature.

[@rvbrt3267]

13:10 that's Carolina irl??!! 😍😍😍😍

[@t-dawg5265]

It's the person lakeyes who did the face and body modeling for Carolina.

[@The_beta_angel]

on Netflix if you watch season 10 and you pause at exactly 7:33 you can see a reference to Andy the bomb and it says (A.N.D.Y blow me Blow me. Zing!) displayed on the side of the missile shot at the mother of invention this is a call back to, season 9 episode 18 at 2:10. for whatever reason the missile is it not shown on KZbin for whatever reason but you miss this.

[@54lolman]

In project freelancer season 10 you forgot to mention how Ian and anthony also make another cameo in the junk yard space station

[@PrimeTime1999]

3:08 also a reference in a reference in the Clone Wars Sinker says that to Boost when trying to fix their escape pod

[@thetataurin]

Here's a reference for ya, the episode "Last one out hit the lights" is a section of a level in Halo 3

You forgot that club Orera, where York met Carolina, was an actual nightclub on Reach. Nice place, until the Covenant attacked. I think there's an even achievement related to the club that involves, I kid you not, a Brute DJ!

[@sirmerc297]

When Simmons threatened to turn Grif into a girl in season 8, might be a reference to the surrender scene.

[@VampyWolfy]

10:43 in the blood gulch blues by trocadero it says the warthog is like a puma so maybe that's a car battery for the warthog or something

13:06 damn, who's that beauty?

[@xxgEtRKT]

[@orakuotaku]

3:08 it's also a reference to the part in freelancer when 479er (maybe?) says it too

[@justinbrown2982]

When sarge says Carolina is part cybernetic shark it is a reference to when tucker says Tex is part shark in season 1, also helping confirm that Carolina and Tex are related, don't know when the Carolina part is tho sorry

[@NinjahDuk]

i think its just a joke meaning notelation

[@Atriox2004]

So that’s why York says “Talk about knock knocks.” when he picks that picture up. It’s basically Carolina. Lmao

[@mailied2389]

When Doc is encased in the section of wall, it's a reference to Han Solo in carbonite. When Wash and Doc are in the desert and Doc begins to sink, Wash says "I hate you". Doc says "I know." Referencing Leia telling Han "I love you" & Han replying "I know."

[@kaymay2814]

What happened to Four-Seven-Niner?

[@jimirussum7739]

I don't remember when in season 10 it was, but I remember York was doing something on a panel during a mission, and he said "It's me!" Not sure if that's a reference to Han Solo or not whenever he says "C'mon, It's me!"

[@Raven-ne9cg]

The reason church could hit the meta w the RPG even though his aim is absolutely horrible is because that same RPG was seen being used be Simmons while fighting Tex and it had a lock on (or hear sealer) that could even lock onto Tex while running. (Tex is crazy agile and fast)

[@darthrevan6316]

When Church and Washington were sneaking into the storage area at freelancer headquarters it wasn’t entirely Church’s fault for not killing the guard. He would’ve had to get all headshots to kill the guy with the magnum.

You never mentioned that the Cortana file references back to the blood gulch chronicles when church talks about omegas implant on Texas and then the side clip with the same exact data file info

[@NightSlayer448]

Without the 117 info

[@Smokeboats]

I think that the meta is a referance to the Predator. Both can turn invisible, have super human strength, perfer to use explosive and bladed weapons, speak in snarls or growls, and take trophies (or AIs) of their victims.

[@isaachonzel9486]

Maybe or maybe not.

[@darkdesigns]

Possibly. I always thought he could have been a reference to Sylar from Heroes - a serial killer who steals the superpowers of his victims. The season where they introduced the Meta was one where they started calling every episode a "Chapter" and also contained a voice over monologue at the beginning of each episode regarding the evolution of the human species - both of which were also used in Heroes.
