The Insurrectionists (Halo Lore) | Part 1 of 2

[@EthanThomson]

in a cruel twist of irony, the insurrection saved humanity it created the UNSC military, had them install MACs on their warships, and lead to the super soldier programs

[@haydenscott3808]

Indeed, without the internal threat, we wouldn't have been militarized to deal with the coming external one.

[@justchilling704]

@@haydenscott3808 Well they still weren't properly prepared to deal with the alien debt.

[@bellgrand]

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that they were fighting alien religious fanatics hellbent on extirpating all human life from the galaxy, the UNSC would totally be considered the bad guys.

[@Chino56751]

MmmHmm

[@lastswordfighter]

The good guys are the separatists and the Master Chief in the franchise.

[@strikeone7803]

shut up innie

[@dejavu1512]

I kinda also wanted to see the covenant portrayed as both good and bad guys, depending on which perspective.

[@danishsyed1068]

they nuked a city

[@lookinforhumanz7640]

I love how the ship utterly destroyed by the asteroid/meteorite is called the Buenos Aires. Perhaps referencing Starship Troopers and how the first bug meteorite hit Buenos Aires.

[@brycevo]

I really hope to see an ODST game set against the Insurrectionists

[@ethanchen2891]

Im not trying to fight humans bruh thats boring gameplay

[@xShadow_God]

@@ethanchen2891 I disagree, though I get where you are coming from. How about it starts with you fighting insurrectionists and then at some point the covenant war starts. I think that'd be really cool if done right. Seeing how the war unfolds through the lens of an ODST. Maybe even have the flood in it, that would be awesome.

[@noconnection1839]

Dont request a game centered around one entire one theme! Missions and Campaigns are a thing. Damn

[@themanohman7157]

I think a game playing AS the insurrectionists would be dope

Your videos have gotten me back into Halo over the last few days. Your subscriber count does no justice to the excellent quality of your content. Keep it up Token.

[@SameToken]

Really glad to get people back into the game, thanks for watching!

[@googlymoogly5373]

I really want a game where you play as Avery before the events of Contact Harvest, where you're fighting off Innies

New Subscriber! Loving the content bro keep up with the awesome Halo Lore videos!!

[@EL-ISS]

I love your videos man. I fell out of love for halo after 4 and 5 but your lore videos are sparking that little kids imagination who played the original trilogy. Keep up the great work, and thanks for the videos 🤙🏾

[@whiskeyandagyro3135]

A universal Constitution is required before becoming an interstellar space faring species.

[@MOMOFCJ6]

A game where you as a spartan become disenfranchised in the first mission when you have to glass a city with your friends in it and the first 3 missions you slowly rebel first at letting a sqaud of grunts retreat then its sabotaging the ship your on then leaving the ship on the 4th mission

[@gusfring8451]

My friend brought up a good point. The rebellion helped the UNSC have a huge standing military to help fight against the covenant for as long as they did. If there was no rebellion, the UNSC would have lost.

[@publiusscipio5697]

2494 will begin again yo the unsc tries to take our fire arms AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

[@johnharrison7997]

Token mate, your videos and commentary are so professional. Looking forward to your next video. 👍😁

[@SameToken]

Thanks so much! Have a new Halo lore video coming shortly

[@lyonzguy3841]

Really appreciate the real life feel of your videos. Like I'm watching the history channel on a topic that they'd never cover! Your dedcation to detail, on the level of showing matching/related images to your well researched and amazingly laid out script for the videos shines my friend. Keep it up! Impressive & intresting content. Subbed after 2 vids.

[@a15b9c2]

Always thought we needed a halo game that focused on innies as much as covenant or forerunners. Reach touched on it in, and the story in reach is what makes it one of, if not the best halo game to date. I always envisioned something like CoD infinite warfare long before it came out, but looks like they just straight up ripped off the halo universe and beat the increasingly fat dumb and happy 343 to the punch. Bungie we miss you 😥

[@Tradley]

Imagine if the last game is about the insurrectionists being a bunch of space libertarians fighting against fiat currency and trans planetary imperialism. Then Ron Paul reviews it and uploads a Let’s Play while wearing cat ear headphones

[@marsbars4767]

This got me thinking, can the states of a country in real life legally declare themselves independent from their Government?

[@maximumeffort7096]

It depends on the country. Federations like the USA and Russia consider that kind of thing Illegal, but confederecies like the old Confederate States of America (aka the south in the civil war.) Allow it.

I would very much play a game where you’re the insurrectionist

[@InkyGhoul]

I'd honestly play one against them. While The UNSC is iffy, in recent lore they've saved the galaxy a few times. The Insurrectionists are often radical even against civillians.

[@Killzoneguy117]

I really would love a Halo game where you fight against the Insurrectionists using brutal and borderline illegal counter-insurgency tactics. Let us see the shitty and evil side of the UNSC.

[@Spoinkyi]

The whole point of expansion is to get more space for humanity to leave and get more resources, no one said the expansion would mean paradise, it would be business dealing like today and a lot of Heavy military presence in case of a rebellion
