Ceb I would prefer them to make competent ports, I don’t care about shifting blame due to some game they’ve never even shown actual footage of. They’ve had several years to iron out problems between console mcc and these pc releases, and they did very little. They’re releasing these one at a time, and they still can’t shove in fixes with that extra time. Halo 1 multiplayer is such a flaming mess I’m convinced it wasn’t actively tested by anyone who ever played the original.

[@hashbrownslinging-slasher872]

[@hawkeye0378]

Blur did an amazing job with the remastered cutscenes. They could’ve just taken the cutscenes scene for scene and improved the graphics a little and called it done, but instead they rebuilt the cutscenes from the ground up and it paid off. Perhaps the best cutscene graphics I’ve ever scene

[@xXCursedWorgenXx]

gotta remember when they worked on Halo Wars cutscenes too, those were just as amazing

I agree when i was able to switch from the original to the one blur did you could see the effort and hard work they just put in a cut scene you'd only see for a few seconds and it blew me away when i saw it

There's a unique thing every map has like that bubble shield for example, and there's things that weren't in the original like assault rifles and hornets, as well as the gungoose.

I'm not talking about the multiplayer which I agree with you they tried to hard to compete with other games and more complicated the multiplayer than improved it.

While halo 4 continued the story it's still stayed true to the storyline like 1 2 & 3 even Halo Wars stayed with the storyline(more or less). so that is what I'm saying that they impressed me with keeping to the story.

[@tstuart9636]

Ahhh the memories. Brings tears man weird cuz its only a video game but so many childhood memories. To be honest my favorite memories.

[@424io]

This doc has literally gotten me in tears reminiscing about how great my childhood was in due part to Halo,2,3,4,etc. Min 18ish on the excerpt of carrying viciously heavy letter box televisions across the alleys, 100ft of Ethernet cord, hubs , routers multiport greasy food, friends pot drinks OMFG thank you for the blessing that was is and will continue to be, for me.... HALO

[@charlie7mason]

I think I'm gonna cry.

[@Macaattack3001]

Let it out man

[@scabash]

Pleeeeease *343* have the same sort of energy, excitement and dedication when making *Halo Infinite*

[@NinjaPups]

This was an imposing documentary, props to you guys for bring back Halo! Watched it on the xbox one the day it came out :)

[@jonathanbedard3900]

now i hope they'll bring halo 3 anniversary to the master chief collection :) blur cinematics, video adaptation of the actual terminals, ...

[@adamjacobsson7999]

+Jonathan Bédard I think it should be it's own game

[@brickgamer2269]

+MAC CANON agreed. They should add the DMR and the brute plasma rifle along the way

[@yes-oo2tl]

+Brick Gamer they wont. they only change the graphics and sounds. but maybe in the multiplayer

[@brickgamer2269]

+gmd_swegamer You sure? Look at the Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer

[@yes-oo2tl]

Brick Gamer did u even read my comment?

[@slackingstacker]

I hope they keep the exploits in Delta Halo that let you get out of the level and scale the mountains in the distance

[@trustee7327]

I flipped out when I first did that. It was amazing!!!

[@Lemonsoup]

they will, they specifically said that everything is the same, including all your fav glitches :)

[@Lalle524]

i can't wait to exsperinece all these legendary glitches in halo 2 :D

[@MrPerson61]

cowbrain6 I remember all the superjumps in halo 2. If you got an overshield and a Rocket launcher, stood on one of those metal shields, and aimed at the very top, it would fling you to the top of almost any building. Was so fun.

[@BenDover_Jr]

cowbrain6 I hope they kept all the super jumps, those were fun to do, even trying to figure out how to do it was fun.

[@funnyperson4027]

53:13 this man is so under appreciated, misha keep on rocking

[@Mister_Kourkoutas]

Keith David, what a great guy!

[@Spartan_seal117]

Halo 3 Anniversary please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DARS97]

noooo anniversary nooo!!! it must be Ultimate Edition so we can get full 1080

[@wolfplayer7815]

Yes please

[@sir-lancer-a-lotgearsbros2897]

plzzzz halo 3 remastered halo reach remastered and halo 3 odst remastered

[@TheCracka85]

There can't be a Halo 3 anniversary lol. There is nothing they can do to make the graphics look better on halo 3 because they already look good enough as is.

[@myfookencookie7155]

I hope they update the game to remaster halo 3 I don't care if I have to pay 5 buck I want this to happen

[@DJEylisium]

Halo 2: Anniversaries cutscene cinematics are BY FAR even today. the best in the industry.

[@sweetgav9163]

Dude I can't focus on work with all these amazing videos on KZbin!!!!!!

[@KaZe-gs2ru]

Same here hahaha I called in sick today and just watched all videos like this

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

The halo and halo 2 games were awesome, and if you can play an area over and then you get hooked on the game. And it's such a good game. A lot of hours in college were spent shooting people in the halo games.

[@rickyj3034]

LAN parties are one of my fav memories of my childhood.. thank you bungie!!!

[@joem8887]

Keith David voicing Arby always gives me the chills 😍😁😁🤓

[@stckrboy]

There's not enough thanks in the world to give you guys for this. So awesome

[@therondennis9572]

Halo one and two are still my favorites...I can play all day...sound track is outstanding...I can dump all my stress on easy play just popping grunts...love it...always will.

[@eliotmontesinopetren1764]

Blur studios really made an amazing job on the cutscenes. I had no idea they actually re-recorded all the cutscenes in mocap, they felt very true to the original. They completed Bungie's vision of cinematic storytelling in video games, they're so good.

[@Psyclonus7]

It's interesting to watch a documentary about a game that was fucked up at launch and required multiple updates just to get to work properly before being abandoned for 2-3 years

[@inflamedjamez99]

10:12 If only some other developers thought like that.

[@pedestrian_0]

It's so amazing that halo 2 got the best anniversary treatment with the cutscenes. I honestly didn't believe a halo 2 remaster was going to happen but i held so much hope that it would come one day. My favorite campaign

[@lollibirdy5136]

I had no idea Misha from Periphery was a composer on this! Such a cool thing to learn at midnight on a Thursday

[@WackaMei]

Crying 4 times while watching this is... good, isn't it? It is, right? ;~;

[@WackaMei]

Especially hearing "Rue and Woe" remastered playing during the credits made me cry twice, though... heh... TT___TT

[@Bryanneo1]

stonedemokid11 *pats*

[@WackaMei]

Bryanneo1 Thank you TT___TT

[@Bryanneo1]

I get teary as well so it's okay

[@WackaMei]

Bryanneo1 ;~;

[@FrogSpatula42]

I really, really hope they put in the same amount of love and work into Halo 3 Anniversary, if such a thing ever exists

[@Phil04196]

+Starbite Productions I think it kind of needs to, at this point.

[@FrogSpatula42]

Halo 3 was my first - all we can do is hope

[@MartiniPinball]

Those animations were second to none, the entire trilogy eventually needs to look like this.

[@paintballJohn2]

The halo guitar solos are soooo good man.

[@jasongranados7186]

Tbh I cried a bit in this documentary lol

[@Newb47]

Same

[@Newb47]

+Dark Missilez Exatly 😂

[@rubiksteamb-dm-jt1641]

+Doomguy981 Man, what a speech. im still tearing by the way

[@MihirGates]

me 2 xD

[@Kalina47]

+Doomguy981 Well, wait till next year. Why? HALO 3 ANNIVERSARY WILL (or should) COME OUT NEXT YEAR!!!

[@TheGuitarpro3]

Anybody here to feel the nostalgia again?

[@Ranblv]

Driving the scorpion on the covenant snowy road while listening to the amazing music is the best gaming feeling I ever had. Played a few times for skulls, lists and achievements but that feeling never wears off. Breath taking music and graphic combination.

[@Customgamer9]

I love that look he gives at 53:58, it's like "I'm Steve Vai, the fuck are you going to do about it"

[@JNM11787]

It truly brought a tear to my eyes to see people work on a game for the love of the game and for the players sake...not just to make some money, or push agenda. Thanks 343 for this update to nostalgia!!!! Recent PC owner of the MCC

[@97Crazysteve]

Well so much for that, damn.

[@TilSkywalker]

1:03 Who has also sung the DADADA, too? ^^)

[@Macaattack3001]

Everybody. Lol!

[@harrisondionyssiou4541]

I DID

[@PSYCHOPATH_AT_LARGE]

Always

[@charlesmaclellan8124]

This was beautiful, but also sad today in 2023.

[@RoostersSide]

im not long in the halo scene but i have played every part of it. this almost made me cry because of pure awesomeness and just the whole histroy behind halo. i´m so motivated for it after watching this. i love it

[@SigmaDyess]

Amazing... truly amazing.

[@Macaattack3001]

Agreed!

[@GameBuilder15]

33:05 That was Ben Burtt's lightsaber swing technique, playing the sound through the speakers and moving the mic.

[@Macaattack3001]

The Force is strong with this one. Lol!

[@faceduro6719]

The guitars riffs and all that licks man brings chills man such an amazing soundtrack, Halo C.E. is my favorite as far as soundtrack but Halo 2 is top notch

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

2 minutes in and I'm getting emotional. I just want to relive this moment in my life one more time. The friends I had, the fun lan parties. IT just sucks that you can't get those back.

[@maluse227]

weirdly while making this remaster the entire team was told they were not allowed to contact any former Bungie employees to discuss what they were doing.

[@RokushoHasashi]

I wonder why?

[@fernandooviedoofficial7346]

I miss bungie

[@jon33709]

same.....

[@madness0169]

Imo 343 is not bad either, but Bungie was, hands down, so much better.

[@Soliye.]

Old bungie was lit

[@andresm.1318]

I don't know why but the end credits music makes me want to cry. It just makes me feel all the nostalgia and memories I have about this game and that I will always have. I guess the music just really shows me the love that was put into this game by all the developers and all the fans. So I want to cry because of how much I love this franchise and how the whole Halo lore makes me feel. This franchise is Truly Amazing and Beautiful.

[@liligman]

I'm lucky enough to work at the airport here in Seattle and Kiki and Bonnie frequently travel out on the airline I work for, and I check them in. Just getting to talk with them and sharing my love of the franchise and seeing their genuine enthusiasm for Halo is so great-halo is in great hands. Also met Phil Spencer a few times around Gamescom time, and when MS was acquiring Mojang in Sweden, and he's such a cool humble guy, and he knows his games. Excited for the future of Xbox, as well as the franchise. This is great times for Halo and Xbox fans

[@halofreak2553]

God I love this fucking series!

[@Macaattack3001]

I love it so much :D Halo is love....Halo is life....lol....

[@trustee7327]

It practically made a generation...scratch that it DID make a generation.

[@Benasdf123]

more work went into this documentary than the game itself

[@brickgamer2269]

I don't think so

[@xerosolar307]

Have you ever seen a human with such a powerful aura and such effortless genius and overwhelming talent that you truly and firmly believe they are an actual god or goddess? Well, that's Martin O'Donnell

[@POVTwins]

As a 7 year old who started playing Halo CE I think several days after the original xbox came out, I would have never known this game franchise was going to be the most groundbreaking of all games. So glad I lived through it all especially Halo 1-3 (Never played Halo 4). No other game provided me with those memories. I'm now 21 years old and gonna get back to my old stomping grounds! Hell fuckin yea!!! Halo 2/ Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 3 is where I will mainly be playing!!
