"ARMORLOCKARMORLOCKARMORLOCK" | Kip Reacts to TheRussianBadger

Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into the much anticipated reprisal of the Armorlock video by TheRussianBadger. The old one had some definite scuff to it, and to show the video the respect it deserves I wanted to bring it up to the current quality standards of current Kip audio and editing to kick-off Rewind Month. What is your favorite Halo Reach experience? If you loved this video as much as I did then I absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

Knowing Thel's name is definitely a +1 charisma for me. Someone actually knows Halo lore

[@KipReacts]

There's so much great lore! It's a shame that more people don't look into it.

[@Endman115]

Fun fact: Thel is the Arbiter, you don’t know who he is because before he became the Arbiter he was stripped of his name for letting master chief destroy the Halo ring

[@Bombers57]

Grey team is best

[@Argyle117]

So fun fact, American navy ships are named after fish, however we now made more ships than we have fish, so the navy has started naming “future” fish so if we discover new fish species they will already have names.

[@anzaca1]

Only submarines.

[@anc757]

older submarines before the Los Angeles fast attack were named after fish. But a lot of U.S navy ships are named after states, cities, or famous battles like the USS Guadalcanal an escort carrier in ww2.

[@CheeseyBreezey]

Somebody tell the navy they can name the fish if they find the fish.

[@HyperfixationWizard]

[@LordRaine]

This video was absolutely the turning point for Badger. This was, I'm pretty sure, the beginning of his big GamerSups sponsor, and it was also one of the first major videos that featured the mocap suit footage. I don't think it was the very first, but it was the one that really blew up. This was it. This was the video that turned Badger into what he is now, instead of what he was when he exclusively did R6: Siege stuff.

[@fireknight0146]

He now only plays games/makes videos about games he ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOYS. So, good on him for that.

[@JamMasterJesus]

I think this was like his second or third video with the mocap, so pretty early yeah. I know the Battlefront II video was the first one with mocap

[@hf117j]

Kip. So the whole smarties thing. In middle school, I knew this dude that had a bulk bag of smarties stapled inside either side of his hoodie. He would go around selling smarties like drugs because people were snorting them. It gets better/worse. Years later, I'm already a year into college. My (at the time) gf's little brother needs a ride somewhere. When we get to these apartments on b street, little dude was freaking out going "Be respectful, these are some OG's we're about to meet". I'm not sure what I'm expecting. But we go in, and I had to try not to laugh. It was the dude that used to sell smarties like that. We recognize eachother. Lil dude is freaking the fuck out like "Who ARE you? How do you know this guy already?". "I went to school with him". After that we're getting caught up and I found out another person with my first name we went to school with threatened to eat his soul. Weird af. But yeah. That was hilarious

[@Odinfang]

I’m deeply disappointed the roundmeal isn’t real. Legit me and my buddies seriously wanted to buy that 😂

[@SilverFable-ri1tt]

I totally recommend the Video "Noclipping through Normandy

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

17:02 To be fair, given the Super-Strength, suit enhanced superstrength, and Heavy-ass armor, a Spartan haymakering you would just punch a hole through you like a bullet. That tank armor wouldn't take it for long.

[@ryuushinzo3559]

Remember when the Meta punched Donut?

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

2:57 Veteran of halo 1 and 2 He finds out what a suicide grunt is later in the video BADGER HASN'T PLAYED HALO 3 This is a crime that NEEDS to be set right.

[@DanOMega215]

Another Badger video I would recommend is Robo Recall. The game is absolutely wild.

[@Blitzwaffen]

I can't remember, was it halo 3 or reach that made the Grunt Birthday Party confetti explosion detonate grenades? Either way that's why I can never play without 'Catch' and ' GBP' ever again because nothing is quite as fun as sniping a grunt to hear: "Hurray!" *Numerous violent explosions* and then silence.

[@dronz3881]

It was the first iteration, Halo 2

[@AgentTex13]

Watching this brought back so many 360 Reach memories. I STILL TO THIS DAY, remember the last Bungie Day where they were giving out the blue flame effect if you signed up. I NEVER turned that effect off once I got it.

[@senshi_dev_art]

Fun fact you probably already been told: Jorge is canonically alive, the explosion created with the slipspace drive didn't kill him, it sent him to a different dimension called the Tenrai dimension (probably butchered it), with is a dimension that takes more inspiration from Japanese culture, this as been confirmed by 343 when the tenrai event was released for Halo Infinite multiplayer

[@LazarusKing1990]

Nice model upgrade Kip! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@queenssnowfall]

All right I've got a story to tell thanks to the ending here, it wasn't a smarties incident it was someone on an airplane they got sour skittles they had like two bags of sour skittles they lined up the sour and then snorted it and they were a great amount of pain afterwards. And I watched him do it and I was about to tell them don't do it but it was a little too late.

[@mrmattdoesstuff]

This is still one of my top favorite RussianBadger vids 😆. I DEMAND THE ROUNDMEAL!

[@battledevilkain1299]

Dodge has it's uses as well. Very incredibly niche uses but they're there.

[@BoxPossum96]

Reach was the shit fr. Forge world was such a blast.

[@FubukiTheIcyKing]

My only interaction with Halo were the books that used to bein the nearby on post library.

[@Arcana_zero_studios]

The USS Baconator sounds like an insult the enemy would try using only to fail miserably at being offensive.

[@Tanuki_Destiny2107]

I like the little detail that Badger’s model’s arm is still damaged throughout the rest of the video after it blew up.

[@darkerrex1442]

Kip a little question, is there a reason why the twitch chat doesn't get edited in the video? Since i saw sometimes they are there sometimes they don't, thanks in advance!

[@KipReacts]

I've tried having it both in the video and omitted, I'll probably keep them omitted going forward.

[@BilisiFunfun]

So old it was actually designed to be FUN.

[@Webbers22]

so at 4:55 i said wendys before kip and i have never been more amazed at myslfe

[@conradlecroy5821]

I didn’t know you re-reacted to this, and here I was watching the old one last night

[@dylanbuford6512]

I only ever got to play Reach for an hour or so with a friend who had it. We played a game where you're at the bottom of a hill and warthogs were coming down and you had to hit them with the Gravity Hammer to survive, it was so much fun.

[@RebootedTitan]

Somebody get this man into a badger video

[@KipReacts]

Man I wish. Not even for clout, I'd love to meet and them Badger and crew for being so awesome

[@RebootedTitan]

@@KipReacts ya, also I'm your state neighbor

[@beauryan101]

Had a classmate drop out of highschool just so he could play Halo Reach, one of my best friends and never heard from him again ever since he dropped out the weeks after the game came out

[@ethanrobins6547]

Fun fact jun is still alive and has been watching us in the multiplayer as he over sees it so he has to watch all of our shenanigans.

[@greywolf7_12]

11:19 also Kip, even with the suit he removed his helmet before activating it so he is very likely to be dead

[@KipReacts]

Amazing.

[@Cameron088]

So, at 5:45, its been confirmed that Jun is still alive as of 2560. Jun had been evacuated before the station had been destroyed.

[@KipReacts]

This makes me happy. Unfortunately, it's unlikely we'll ever get Halo Infinite story DLC at this point. Hopefully we see him do some cool things in a book or comic somewhere.

[@Malhare01]

Your point about Jorge is interesting because based on the Transgressor Armor core in Infinite, Jorge may very well have been transported to a Gravemind, or at the very least a Flood infested planet, because that armor core set is literally Jorge’s armor, except its been almost completely taken over by the Flood.

[@firefang600]

Btb on blood gulch would always rush to mid at the start of a match and get absolutely bodied by a wraif

[@Sirscruggz]

Reminder that the timer on that bomb Jorge detonated was fried. So Jorge had to detonate it manually. Either way the big man is dead, but I’m certain he got vaporized instantly

[@sharkwaffle1582]

Aw, hell yeah. It’s good to see a fellow Idaho content creator doing numbers 😎

[@ardynamberglow3124]

So I actually got introduced to Halo 1 and 2 when I was about 10, when a friend of mine sat me down on his xbox and booted the game up and the two of us spent _hours_ lost in a halo TDM. I just saw it as funny green guy with cool guns. I actually didn't sit down and Play CE until I was about 16 on PC cuz my dad owned the Hard Disk copy and was blown away with it. But personally, despite all the hate, halo 4 will always be my favorite since it was at that moment that I _really_ got into halo, and wanted to enjoy it. Truth be told, I never really fully played Reach until the Steam Ports came out.

[@Naruto_uzumaki120]

His drink flavor is actually really good

[@kriegertechpriest7011]

Jorge _could_ be alive, in the books slipspace caused time travel or slipspace anomalies around Reach

[@Malhare01]

Check out the Transgressor armor core in halo infinite, he probably got sent to a flood planet or worst case scenario a Gravemind.

[@redxphones3281]

Why is Kip rewatching this again?

[@justanidiotmk2749]

New model just replacing the old video I assume

[@doomcrossing8897]

Maybe his memory forgot

[@10N1Z3D]

Because badger is ballin

[@teal4999]

He’s going through and rewatching videos with his new model and trying to add more commentary than the first time

[@thevoidkgard]

Because you f****** can I re-watch this video every f****** 4 days

[@GinaRanChaosdiver]

Kip, Jorge literally takes off his helmet, he dies instantly if the portal lead somewhere, but it's implied that it basically just opened a portal so unstable that it just incinerated everything

[@Nirual86]

yeah that was the whole point of the plan. Not like the ship was ready to actually use the slipspace rupture to go anywhere, it just tore it in half.

[@Kalebfenoir]

I ran Hologram when it popped up in game, and in the multiplayer it was fun to bait people with it. Especially when some asshole was camping the sniper rifle spots and you needed that extra second or two to get his scope off you so you could deal with him.

[@johnmarch974]

18:04 funny story. when I tried the attachment, I missed the Elite and got the grunt that walked in it's spot.

[@Bigmusket]

38:41 this reminds me of a time in one of my high school classes during the ACTs the teachers handed out smarties and fun dip and so many people for some reason snorted them and everyone’s nose was bleeding afterwards

[@walterhellsing3399]

Halo Reach was my First EVER Halo game and i loved it so much i was given a copy of Halo CE and loved the fucking christ out of it, to the point where a teacher couldn't see my screen i played the fuck out of it instead of doing work. Then i got into Halo 3 while over a Buddies place and i loved it too, sad to see that i couldn't get Halo 2 due to personal issues, got halo 4 and i was like..."Meh" and then i saw the reviews for Halo 5 and was like "Fuck it" and to this day i haven't touched Halo. Moral of my story is...Shit on Reach i'm gonna skin you're dog alive with rusty shears.

[@Your-local-skinwalker]

The halo series is like a endangered animal, we need to protect it. It's very rare you see a game that most people remember playing

[@grimwolf6858]

You can also mount the wraith from behind and instead of punching it. You can place a gernade in its reactor and it blows up

[@ProtoZer0.7]

I’ll say, Kip got so much cooler with this Badger reaction, now that I know he’s a fellow Halo nerd lmao

[@KipReacts]

I love Halo. I spent so many years with it.

[@nappatheloveable9486]

"The end of reach is the start of CE" My brother in Christ, just say it's the prequel to Halo 1.

Not gonna lie, the timing’s funny because I randomly had Halo nostalgia today and whipped out Halsey’s Journal from my old Black Box edition I’ve managed to save.

[@Americanbadashh]

We're getting new Halo: Infinite content like every few weeks. Just not any story content. Season 5 is just around the corner too

[@LetMeFLY649]

The funny thing about that argument about Starcraft vs Halo Wars, you could actually play Starcraft on your couch, they did release it on the N64.

[@torresstormer9136]

I love halo because when I find a shotgun and a sniper, it's over for the convenient

[@magosofmars8410]

Bit of halo lore for you the reason jorge is so strange as a character compared to the others is that he is the only spartan 2 on the team the rest are spartan 3’s this is the reason hes much larger than the other and why he sees hallsley like his mother

[@ssfbob456]

I get why someone who didn't know that might be confused why he was so different from the rest of Noble, but I do t get why Badger was so confused about the story. The Convenant invades one of the UNSC's major military strongholds and your team spends them game desperately, and ultimately futility, trying to repel them/save whoever they can.

[@magosofmars8410]

@@ssfbob456 its never really explained in the games just how important reach is if you read any of the halo books its explained that reach is the major military command for the outer colonies of the unsc thats why it has such a large build up of forces and defences

[@CrystallineFoxCF]

Jorge's survival depends on two things, A. The assumption that the slipspace drive every, brought the ship out of slipspace, which it is very possible it never did, and B. the ships Quantum Field Generator being functional and able to keep the ship, well, in existence in the 11 dimensional space that is slipspace. It is highly unlikely the first one is true, and very unlikely the second one is true either, Jorge, most likely, was instantly, and quite literally, deleted from existence the moment that objects that followed the laws of 3D space physics were introduced to the physics of 11D space

[@sevvforshort5597]

June isn’t dead he is the one training the new generation of Spartans. And George is a Spartan 2 while everyone else is a spartan 3. It’s funny the size difference. George could even then technically have survived if he found a planet.

Fucking love Halo. Especially Halo 2. The early days of xbox live and just doing coop in general was fun. When the Halo 2 servers were about to go down it felt like the last wholesome moment for XBox Live when all us Halo Goofballs got to do one last match and then the servers finally shutdown.
