Bro from 0:45-1:04… I get so many goosebumps it hurts. Just reminds me of having sleepovers with my best friends when we were 8 and half asleep on the couch at 2:00AM with this music playing. Halo 3 may not have a story like halo 2, and it wasn’t my first halo like combat evolved, but you’re kidding yourself if you don’t hold halo 3 as King. With everything going on with Infinite right now, and everyone going back to appreciate the original halos, it really puts things into perspective with what halo did for video games. If I didn’t already love halo 3 enough being my favourite video game of all time, the videos that have been coming out comparing new games to the revolutionary things halo 3 did only make the game more impressive and perfect to me, which I didn’t think was possible. No FPS shooter holds a candle to what Halo 3 did for us all

I had a friend who would play this game nonstop, and was actually really good, reaching Brigadier Gen rank 2 or so. I would sleep over his house with my trio of buddies and I'll never forget the times. I was doing homework, reading a book, our friend was on Facebook arcade or games playing the game where you dodge the blocks for as long as you can, and our friend whose house we slept over would lay on his bed playing Halo 3 all night, shit talking and being a generally toxic player, but that's how it was back then, lol. I remember when his stepdad would come in to tell us to shut up and turn the game off, and he would talk back, "Shut the fuck up TOM." We were in middle school back then. I'll never forget that night. Such a dumb night too. I remember waking up to this music a few times in the night when we were all sleeping. It's such comforting music.

[@nameduser9143]

The first time I played halo 3 I went over to a friends house, I had never heard of halo and had not even really played Xbox since i was an outdoorsy kid. They had an upstairs game room, it was a large room that was always dark or dimly lit by the giant televisions they had. (maybe a 72" old school flat screen, so not very flat). the room was always cold, it felt cool dark, the couch big and comfortable and also dark, when you were in that room the lighting from the television is what illuminated the entire space. I remember getting lost in that cool room looking at the main menu screen for halo 3, and the audio over the surround sound system. Its what made me fall in love with the atmosphere mood and vibe a game can create. Over 14 years later and I have yet to get that same feeling again, and I probably never will, but damn am I sure happy I got to experience this game that way because it felt magical then, and even now looking back through nostalgia's lens. Its the reason I heavily invested my life into gaming, stories, OSTs, and lead down a line of positive addiction, and could be the sole point in my life that lead me to be a triple A game designer, Thank you Bungie.

Just to me, the part at 0:38 just makes me shiver with excitement. Then there's 4:00 which is just mwah

[@yashwanthsai5182]

That signed into xbox live notification itself is nostalgic

[@rare.q]

34:30 most good soundtrack I heard

[@r3ed9]

It sad to see the server down but will remember the time of glory May you rest in peace halo U had a long fight but now u can finally rest

Does anyone else feel like breaking down and bawling when the piano plays with the violins? Or is that just me? It's not just me right?

[@frubetube154]

It ain’t just you man trust me 😢

[@RNG-esus]

It's still not just you 😭❤️

I’ll always miss you halo prime gaming🖤

Happy 15th Birthday to Halo 3, thanks for the great memories.

One of the all time greats, gaming hall of famer, good job, Bungie

R.I.P TO ALL MY FELLOW SPARTANS THAT DIDNT MAKE IT TO HALO INFINITE ♾ much love ❤️ you’ll live with the guardians forever ‼️ I’ll never forget how much fun I had as a kid playing this game I’ve been blessed to grow up in a time where things like this exist

[@TheRealKcity]

When that piano comes in....

[@petergarcia1334]

Best times of my young life, the lobby, the maps, the weapons, that feeling😭

[@scathelock5648]

Its 2007, I really want to go back

[@Vasilis-mz9ok]

Man.... the nostalgia hits hard. I miss these days....

[@whoygoo]

i remember it was late 2007 and there was like 300,000 people online and i was like "holy crap"

[@flowterspace]

I remember being absolutely fascinated when I looked at that world map and seeing all those shiny bright dots for the online players.

[@ElronHumpperdink]

Only the real OGs know these by heart and not just cause we jam them on the tubes/albums etc. I remember those late nights when I wanted to play more cause my heart said yes but my mind and body said no. I would pass out to this or wake up to it and it was just so beautiful. Whether waiting on friends, for a match to start, or to get a second wind... it’s etched into my soul forever.

[@averageminer4205]

By far the best game and best menu music ever made in eternity.

[@ElronHumpperdink]

@@averageminer4205fo rizzle It was a moment in time, captured by memories.

[@IssacWashington-zc2zm]

I was born 2008 and I remember getting the Xbox 360 at 7 or 8 years old and my mom bought me halo 3 for it from GameStop although I couldn’t play campaign or online I would always either listen to this masterpiece or play in forge with my stepdad or myself. This game and music means a ton to me.

[@kagame1726]

Sad to see xbox 360 serves going down but for a new brighter generation. Can't wait to see all of you there when Infinite gets released, we were kids, teenagers, adults from Halo CE to Halo 3 and Reach and now we are veterans. "Spartans Never Die"

[@star3thund3r16]

Right there with you. SPARTANS NEVER DIE

[@user-kx5gh5zh1x]

Lembra muito um jogo do play 2 só que é de robotica

[@hyperionx4029]

Listened to it while studying. Didn't even notice the hour go by.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

[@derek978]

For all those who couldnt make it to Halo's last days on the 360 servers 🍻 we know they wouldve gave it their all in those last cherishable moments.

[@florianstockel1384]

Guys don‘t be sad. I know it‘s hard. But we are the ones who will forever think back to a golden age of gaming. Let‘s share this moment together. Good old days.

[@A-halover2000]

It makes me miss the 2000's even more

[@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

Oh the nostalgia me and my brother and our friends we would always play this game when we were kids and we also played with everyone online Xbox live on the Xbox 360 and my Xbox 360 name was DoomWillyWonka so hello to anyone and everyone that remembers my name on the Xbox 360 and this game will have a special place in our hearts❤ and our souls forever😀.

[@davidlassin5204]

The servers have been shut down and now all I can do is reminisce a past forever lost but never forgotten.

[@blakealford2706]

Something about halo has always kept me attached, couldn't quite figure it out. But as I got older i soon realized that being a 8 foot man with titanium armor saving humanity and the kick ass soundtrack martin made for halo was the reason I was so attached. Thank you for everyone who has played this, made this, or loves this masterpiece of a game.

[@Mustehh]

4:00 that part gives me chills every time

[@s0nder_ttv]

Till we meet again Halo 3 title screen music Ill see you into the sunset

[@somticlight3712]

From here on out, this comment section should remain baren in remembrance of those who journeyed into the storm, but did not come out the other side durring the server shut down.

Well guys, the Halo 3, CE Anniversary, 2 Anniversary, Reach, and 4 servers are all going offline for good this December. Let us all never forget those who we fought with. And let us all remember, to Finish the Fight. Hoo-rah

I'll salute to that.

It was never about winning or losing. It was about the fun times with the boys, or siblings, or cousins. the memories that y'all created while playing this, the moments that'll last in your head till end times. those were the moments that made you, you. oh how the fun memories will always be there in your heart, where it belongs. now everything is about winning, bitching when you lose. never play for fun. what happen to you? look at you, you don't know how to have fun anymore. you just wanna win, never lose, and never have fun. but hey, you do you pal. you'll always have these precious memories of having fun with those who you grew up with, who you played with, or those you haven't seen online in over 8 -10 years. you did good pal. you did good

[@michiganrulez1]

You know why you’re here RIP to halo 3 360 matchmaking

[@josenavarro3816]

I remember before going offline back then, I had just sat there just relaxed and calm listening to this masterpiece of music, I’ll always cherish those days, the gameplay, the late nights with the boys, and the music🤙🤙
