I *do* agree that the AR is bad. You can’t kill anything with it on Legendary Campaign. It does slightly better in Multiplayer, but it’s pretty much completely unreliable. You’re better off grabbing literally any other gun, like a plasma pistol.

[@dara0013]

It's great to see that we're at a level where artist can do such things with pure elbow grease! The only thing that broke immersion was the card-boardy motion of "stillness" Sometimes the strafe was longer than the legstroke, sometimes it was shorter. When models stop being animated they stay still in the last position. By adding some wobble to a body you can make it look more alive Even when sitting still we're not totally still, we breathe, we shake, our muscles and contract and relax as we keep our balance thanks to our internal ear. Bullets fly but they don't impact! So it feels a little that the stakes aren't that high if the spartans are in "walking fire mode" in the open and no bullets are touching them. The shotgun throw to the chest sure stunned that SPARTAN - III Supersoldier huh? The sneak attack, followed by a stand off, it's not the proper way to make the best out of chaos! As an elite, you just destroyed the element of surprise and gave the chance to your enemies to identify you as the bigger treat, while they outnumber you. Sangheili pride doesn't means they're not military geniouses and know how to take advantage of a situation. Thank you for reading! It is great and it still has more juice to give!

It's been more than a year since I've watched this. Ahh. Brings back nostalgic memories from the og halo reach, halo 3, halo 4 and so on. May they rest in peace.

So true. The Elites were faster and jumped higher than Spartans.

[@DCS117]

This sequence is spectacular! But it needs a little more "immersion": Spartans look a little slow, when they are supposed to have improved reflexes and mobility. Anyway, great sequence!

[@ranebo1417]

These are the "disposable" Spartan III's, they're smart and fast, but not like the Spartan II's which were really powerful. Spartan III's were made cheap for suicide missions.

Rane Bo Common misconception. There is nothing different between SIII’s and II’s except they’re orphans, length of training (they had more brutal training than II’s) and not “peak” physical specimens (might not be as tall). Go re-read Ghosts of Onyx if you don’t believe me.

@@simioneitor1975 The Spartan-III were the expendable ones. Given cheap armor and mass produced to be wasted in war. John-117 came from the Spartan-II program where the MJOLNIR suits cost as much as a ship and towered over all other humans. They were cold, calculating and powerful along with heavy modifications. The IIs were picked as children and kidnapped and the IIIs were orphans and from a wide variety. The difference is that the IIIs didn't get the all of the expensive equipment and modifications that the IIs got. They were still terrifying in combat regardless.

Feels great coming back and getting to whoop the asses of a new generation of players that were in diapers or not even born yet when we were tearing it up back in the day. Kid: "Aren't you too old to be playing this game?" Halo veteran pulling out the old plasma pistol + DMR combo: "Let me play you the song of my people, noob."

[@elib.1789]

YES OH YES OH LORDY LORDY THIS IS WHAT WE NEED! Halo cinema has been been so lackluster. We just need a great production crew for a halo movie that has a GOOD STORY, and action like this! It would POP OFF! Phenomenal job on this.

[@Ethanthecoolboy]

Reach was my first Halo, so not only was I playing in chronological order, but I cared for the game the most as it was there for my childhood, and Admittedly I say watching this made me tear up a bit.
