Fun fact: Johnson's speech when he delivers the tank changes depending on difficulty, and on OG cutscene when you defeat the Scarab it actually shows which weapon you were wielding when you kill the last Elite on the scarab so you can see the chief holding a sniper rifle/shotgun/etc for example when he walks out the scarab

[@zach99999]

Halo 2 is my favorite Halo game by far. Though I might be biased because my first time playing it was as Anniversary in the Master Chief Collection. Also if you haven't played Halo 5 the intro cutscenes with the Arbiter and Locke doesn't make any sense.

[@benjaminkrake4211]

The story of halo 2 is so much more intricate than it gets credit for. Arbiter has an entire character arc and goes from an unknown villain to one of Halo’s most beloved heroes

[@evangalinsky2499]

The story of halo is the point for me. Halo multiplayer was never the best thing out there, these games were always made for campaign, up until 343 anyway, and even then to an extent, they just kinda fucked the story tho imo for 4 & 5. But ye, I'd say the campaign/story is almost the entire point of this series.

The "Giving the Covenant back their bomb" is one of the coolest video game cutscenes of all time. Even with the original game engine graphics in the original version, it was incredibly epic.

[@kristianstrm2375]

It was actually a byproduct of the team having to cut levels to finish the game on time. Originally, you were supposed to travel into the ship and blow it up yourself. When they cut the mission, they substituted it for this cutscene. It's an awesome cutscene, but I still wish I could've played this. After all, I wanna play a game, not watch a movie.

@@GamerJoobChannel Seem to recall from some lore tidbit that in the 26th century, the average life expectancy was 150 years, given that humanity by that point had all but eliminated most - if not all - diseases. Best example of this comes from a marine, who due to I think some Slipspace accident, ended up being sent back to the early 2000's and was told by doctors he had cancer. The guy apparently didn't even know what cancer was, given that it was pretty much non-existent in the future.

There is an extra cutscene that was not used for the campaign, it's called a day at the beach and it takes place during the first new mombasa cutscene where the scarab shoots down the pelicans. This cutscene is about the pelican that got hit by the scarab beam and its squad of odst that survived which you run into in the dark hotel hallway that leads to the mombasa beach.

The best speech from Johnson before the Metropolis mission is his whole "We didn't have any fancy-schmancy tanks! We had sticks! Two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon! And we had to SHARE the rock!" These cutscenes especially with the Prophets are even more interesting when you realize the 3 Prophets all knew humanity are the Reclaimers of the Forerunner legacy from the Forerunner AI Mendicant Bias but they covered it up and assumed power. It's funny each Prophets' name relates to their deaths. Regret regretted going to Earth and that move killed him, Mercy received no Mercy from Truth, and Truth died preaching his lies. And no wonder Miranda is upset her father is dead because he raised her on his own. There was actually a cut mission where Miranda betrayed the UNSC to get Chief killed because she blamed him for her father's death.

[@thebrotacogamer2944]

Just an FYI for the anniversary edition: The very first cutscene you saw with Spartan Locke (blue visor) and the gold elite is brand new and is NOT part of Halo 2. It was added to help set up the story for Halo 5. A prequel of sorts. Our golden elite is actually our good friend Arbiter, who essentially pimped his armor from that silver color to gold. That first cutscene also is part of a TV commercial in which Arbiter delivers a line in regards to Master Chief "The seeds of our future are sown in his path". I'll find it and link it likely. One more little tid bit. The Covenant is a collective of different species. So the Brutes wanting to eat Arbiter (wasn't Arbiter yet, but still) would not be cannibalism. The members of the Covenant are as follows: Elites, which includes Arbiter Brutes, AKA big monke Grunts, AKA cone heads Jackals, AKA the source of fear on legendary difficulty Hunter, AKA big meanies as well as the Scarabs, AKA forbidden gummy worms Drones, AKA flying dudes And the Prophets, of which since they don't exactly appear as anything more than political members in game, also have the official title of old meat sacks. The have official names. For example, the elites are formally known as the Sangheli, from the planet Sanghelios.

[@kaelanirevyruun1676]

To contextualise the beginning cutscene with Locke and the Arbiter (Thel Vadam), Locke is hunting John (Chief) because he believes that John has gone crazy and has somehow decided to go AWOL, but in reality John is simply trying to find Cortana, who has had one of her rampant fragments find its way to the Forerunner Domain (Which is essentially the Forerunner internet :'D It's... Wierd...), and that fragment has discovered that it's no longer unstable... It's now metastable. That leads into the events of Halo 5, where Chief is just behind Cortana every step of the way until the end, when she turns back and sees that he's there, and Locke is just far enough behind John to get constantly hit by the aftermath of Cortana's actions. Also with what you mention at 4:44 Well... Not sure how deep into the lore you are, but when john detonates the reactor of the PoA (Haha grenades go YeEeEeEET! Plink plink), and that in turn creates enough force for the ring to actually break up due to centripital (I think that's the right one) force, the Covenant see it as the deliberate destruction of one of the Holy Rings, cos the Prophets believed when they first learned of the Halo Array, that the firing would begin a Great Journey to where the Forerunners are... But instead they're actually just giant alien nukes, literally :'D Of course the Prophets don't know that... Only Chief, Cortana, the Flood and 343 guilty Spark (Chakas, an ancient human turned into an AI) know the truth.

I do know about all that now thankfully as I have played Halo 5! 😊

[@GamerJoobChannel]

Although you did give me some information I haven't heard of! So thank you 😊

26:32 It's a doll of the Didact. The doll changes depending on difficulty. On Easy, it's the Didact. On Normal, the Librarian. On Heroic, the Master Chief. On Legendary, Rampant Cortana.

Something you could do is react a couple cutscenes of CE and Halo 2 in classic mode to see the graphics comparisons as the cutscenes are slightly different in parts as well

[@GamerJoobChannel]

I swapped back and forth a small bit in this video!

[@GamerJoobChannel]

But it would be cool to do that in the future 😊

[@rev0568]

Fun little detail you may not have noticed! While the elites are reciting their oath and some grunts are fucking around on the Phantom right before you pkay as him for the first time, the Arbiter is the only one totally still and silent, his head bowed and his mandibles unmoving. Hes the only one not reciting the oath as he is not one of them!

[@MrGazawaza]

randomly start watching 51 minutes later... Halo 2 is so good.

[@Brunothechillman]

14:08 the best moment

[@alanthierseorn]

Ron Pearlman's best nonchalant 2 word line ever: "Permission Granted"

[@chasekirchnersyoutubechann8244]

i really love Halo just as much as you, i listen to the soundtracks daily for school...

[@alanthierseorn]

Fun Fact: Miranda Keyes is not only Captain Keyes' daughter, but Dr. Halsey's too.

I hope you rewatched these scenes now that you have beaten the games Jade. Since you now have better context, you can better understand how amazingly crafted all of the cut-scenes were.

[@GamerJoobChannel]

I have! I love the added context with the gravemind and everything with the Arbiter! The story only gets stronger once you beat 3!

[@raymondjoannette8052]

Imagine seeing this onee BIG SCREEN as it were a movie. should be fun

[@GamerJoobChannel]

Oh that would be awesome! I want a Halo movie haha!

[@samuelrakic6924]

Loving your reactions!!! Keep them coming, it’s great to see someone new to the franchise who’s so invested in the story. You will enjoy Halo 3 😊 (if you haven’t already)

[@GamerJoobChannel]

Thank you so much!

[@GamerJoobChannel]

I have played 3! I have actually played them all! All of the playthroughs are up on the channel 😊

[@samuelrakic6924]

Aw sweet, I’ll look them up. What was your favourite?

[@GamerJoobChannel]

@@samuelrakic6924 Halo 2 was my fav! Reach was a close second 😊

[@samuelrakic6924]

Awesome, same as me. Good job, looking forward to future vids 👍🏻

[@alduinfr]

"this is like a Movie quality" exactly, Blur Studios made the CGI for some Movies. they were cool dudes

[@buiuccuong1684]

Fun fact: Damian Poitier aka the guy you saw playing Sgt. Johnson in these cutscenes once worked in Captain America: Civil War. He is a stuntmant and he played Thanos in the post credit scene. He's most famous for his role as Chains in the game Payday 2

[@alliegarneau]

Took me a second to figure out what you meant by Lilo & Stitch, but now I can’t unsee it. XD

[@potatoboy1517]

Take note that the Prophet's names are ironic lol Prophet of Truth - Knew that the Great Journey was a lie Prophet of Mercy - Was not shown any mercy when he was killed Prophet of Regret - Did not regret anything, even after death

[@GamerJoobChannel]

I love that!
