You Don't See Halo Trailers Like This Anymore

Bungie were very honest when it came to their Halo titles, this is fun trailer that they made showcasing a number of great highlights and funny moments (and bugs) in the Halo Reach Beta.

The biggest difference is this is meant to look fun. It's gameplay. Absolute mayhem and chaos you'll see every match. Not choreographed, smooth gameplay that never happens in game.

[@lonelygoat2716]

If it’s meant to look fun then why is armor lock there

[@aaa-sz9ul]

​@@lonelygoat2716 Armor lock is simply a skill issue, I've never had problems dealing with it, It's easy to counter with other armor abilites.

[@alexandermartinez732]

Oof! Sounds like you’re either bad or didn’t have enough hours in it

[@amuroray.1690]

I'd argue this was MORE choreographed given the amount of stunts happening here. Imagine the time it must have taken to film all of that, especially the rocket deflections and long range sticks.

[@usercametodie]

@@ErrorDude While I think armor lock was reasonably balanced, if Bungie had made it really visually obvious that people had it (like jetpack), I think it would have nipped 80% of the complaining in the bud. Armor lock was most hilarious, effective and frustrating when used to bait people (vehicles, swords, stickies, melees, rockets, etc), which unfortunately led to a lot of players just hating it even though it was overall a pretty great addition to the sandbox.

[@SirZemmy]

@@usercametodie considering how easy it is to splatter and counter attack armour locking both in vehicle and on foot, it's like going against somoeone with the shotgun. Reach gave players new abilities, and people think they can just rush anyone with sprint, or flank with camo and it be that easy. If you're fooled by armour locking, that's no one's fault but the players. All a matter of opinion, but most armour lock opinions are so absurd and exaggerated lol

The vibe I get from this is bungie of the era wasn't afraid to let their game look kind of derpy, with the scenes of rampant chaos and what not. It's really, really refreshing, I'll be honest.

[@ConfusedGeriatric]

whereas 343 are trying so hard to be cool that they come off as completely derpy on accident. the story, characters, design all exist without any unifying direction because that's how 343 games are developed. almost everyone is a temporary contractor from outside companies, there's no core love for Halo like Bungie had. nothing feels tied-in to an overall lore or art style, because there isn't one. it's sad how little 343 have accomplished in the 10+ years they've had Halo. let alone making things better, they've failed at even maintaining any aspect that makes Halo good. Infinite shows how inefficient they really are at managing tasks. No forge, no custom lobbies/gametypes, no interesting new enemies or designs, no updates of any kind for months at a time. amazing the difference in size between Bungie when they were making Reach and Microsoft/343 today. the creators' passion always show through in their works, and 343 have never made anything with a soul.

[@shoeberrypie]

@@ConfusedGeriatric not to mention ignoring the 1/3 of players who wouldn't even touch it due to the lack of alien character options! Some of that fraction is alien players, while the other part is Spartans who want to see alien players. You'd think they'd learn from Halo 4 and 5's reception, lmaoo

[@Ares_gaming_117]

the community is so dedicated they should just make a halo clone at this point

[@shoeberrypie]

​@@Ares_gaming_117 I remember playing Halo: Custom Edition ages ago when I couldn't afford to play on Xbox. Checked out a couple recent gameplay videos, and was surprised to see that they used the old Halo:CE engine to essentially play Reach multiplayer! I may get around to playing it again at some point, but I still have a couple Halo campaigns to catch up on from missing out back in the day. I'd honestly be happy with MCC just copy-pasting alien options from the Halo 4 campaign at this point though, lmao

[@K0msur]

That was part of the fun of Halo, and Bungie knew it. Halo is 1/3 campaign, 1/3 multiplayer and 1/3 messing around with your mates long into the early hours. It's just pure fun, whatever you're doing. 343 are missing the point and are going for bland, big budget cutscenes and super serious stories, when in reality, we just want to get the two teams to halt the match and teabag together in the middle for 10 minutes.

[@Johnnyb167]

Made with love from Bungie. I like the style of this trailer for reach I think it makes it feel more mechinima like. Would be cool to see a call back like this in Infinite since they already reference stuff from past games in the campaign anyway.

[@noblewolfe891]

Yet despite their setbacks in Destiny? They still know how to market and create trailers.

[@Johnnyb167]

@sly dankass Ya it's pretty clear these days 343 isn't trying to be Bungie there just trying to make a new Halo experience for money and that's all microsoft wants. I'm ok with Infinite existing if it means 343 is willing to improve the game more and more cause that launch just wasn't a good showcase of a new Halo game. This doesn't mean Infinite won't be lacking in content forever, the game will recieve all the classic halo features eventually. But I doubt the game will ever reach the same amount of people from launch ever again.

You’re making me sad :( Halo was the way it was largely because of Bungie. I’m glad I got to experience H3 and Reach in their hay days. The community/Bungie relationship and culture was just something else. You could tell just from these trailers how much passion and love was put in. Then there was Bungie Favorites, Bungie Day events, Recon and the vidmaster challenges. 343 on the other hand feels very out of touch and that spark is really missing. It’s not just 343, either. I think a lot of devs these days just have a bunch of suits at the top who don’t even play games running thing and it shows in the stale, lifeless products that they make passionate devs produce. They really don’t make ‘em like they used too.

[@Razgriz_01]

In my opinion, standardization of video games has also ruined it. Every game has to follow the leader, follow the formula instead of using what they already had and building from it, or something new. It was around late 2000s and early 2010s that this started happening. Even Halo, since 343i took over, has been following whatever is popular to its own detriment. Hell, the default control scheme for Halo 5 and Infinite is literally just Call of Duty controls. Halo 4 had those unbalanced as hell loudouts and power-weapon drops. Infinite is just following the open-world trend and f2p multiplayer, a combination that is proven to be very bad. 343i messed up. That's three strikes. Three times they've failed to make a Halo game that will last long and have a long-lasting legacy. All the soul has been sucked out. The only thing they got right for Infinite was the art-style. Thats it.

[@grayfox185]

@@Razgriz_01 I wouldn't say that's the only thing. It did grasp gameplay in many areas. Then they updated and patched that gameplay away. Then as everyone got tired of the same 4 maps for each game mode. They released nothing. That's what will kill it. The sheer lack of anything new. Even with it's updates. We got so little

[@shi117]

True. In my opinion it's not the individual devs of today who are at fault for the lack of good games. I'm sure they are as passionate as they all used to be. But it's the suit and tie execs that ruined the gaming landscape.

@@WastedPot at the end it says "thanks for playing" and then it gives the launch date. So this is something that came out after the beta. This is further supported by the fact that they only show the maps from the beta.

[@WastedPot]

@@GrandpaBaner good spot. I must have missed that.

[@MacAndSheeeeesh]

Actual gameplay in a game trailer? This is a freaking relic!

[@syladrine9920]

This is the 2nd time you uploaded a Reach Beta trailer. You don't have to reupload this to have daily content, just take a day off.

[@xxkillshot5xx]

What a blast from my past man... I came home from high school and played this beta every day. I used to read the newsletters every week. They inspired me to write newsletters for my club in college and I remember being so ingrained in the Halo community back then that it was so devastating when 343 took over. Bungie used to be so awesome. They really made you feel part of a community, in a special quirky Bungie-only way. Time goes by so quickly. Halo Reach was some of the highlights of my high school, as sad or as great as that sounds.

[@Bi9Clapper]

Actually my first time ever seeing this trailer, it actually makes reach MP outside of Invasion look fun lol. That stick across the map was very obviously staged tho lol

[@user-rd5in4ik5p]

Dunno, man, I've seen plenty of clips that look exactly like that. You can even see the guy immediately walking backwards expecting not to get hit by the stick.

[@mathewmartin6959]

Nah, that was the first Hail Mary throw of Reach that anyone saw. He'd figured out the spawns already and got his timing right.

[@Razgriz_01]

@@user-rd5in4ik5p No. Mathew is right. That wasn't staged. I can't remember which channel uploaded it, but during Halo Reach's beta, people were posting "top 10 crazy kills in Halo Reach" or something like that. I remember seeing almost all of the stuff shown in these trailers in those videos.

[@user-rd5in4ik5p]

@@Razgriz_01 Yeah, that was my point, I wasn't sure it was staged as the top level comment said because I've seen that exact same scenario play out a lot of times. That kind of sticks always make it to compilations.

[@spartansamuel236]

It helps that all this gameplay came (probably) from people actually playing the game, and from a time when hyper competitive gameplay and matchmaking wasn't the norm

[@DatRealTom]

Ironic thing is that 343 can't make trailers that use the Theater like this for Infinite because their Theater doesn't fuckin' work properly.

[@gamerl2220]

I love that they show off a glitch with an assassination in the air when it says and the ugly. Just shows a nice bit of self awareness

[@EvilPhoenix007]

Fun and True actual fact for Halo Reach: if you set your TV settings to natural you can see the attention to detail more clearly, try it on Winter Contingency where you can easily see the rain.

[@lustrazor44]

You’re aware every tvs settings are completely different right

[@richardsousa2625]

“Halo: Reach, a game so old it was actually designed to be fun”

[@amanhasfallen3171]

I love how they also show the glitches in the game

[@doomguy2020]

I wish I had Xbox live back around Halo 3, I didn't truly have it until MCC. I grew up with Halo and loved it so much for the story and art, and I played split screen multiplayer/co-op with family. I still cherish those times especially now that everything is crumbling to dust around us, but being part of the community in Halo's prime would've been incredible

[@kevinfox5908]

This has got to be the weirdest pity party I’ve ever walked in on

[@diostheworld9378]

Man... Brings me back to those times man I miss the old halo the good'ol day's.

[@SNRTALES]

It was about the fun back then. Now it’s all about comp and buying rerolled items from the shop

[@tmfchickadee7785]

Omg, they actually used the reds and blues voices for the first two screams. That's so awesome

[@catfree]

Best part about extensive pre-release testing is you get to catch a glipse of the meta and add that to your trailer

[@ivolopez-felix5270]

Still one of, if not the best halo. What an awesome ride that was

[@jaidarling8855]

OG Bungie and the Halo license were just a match made in heaven, and dropped to Earth like an ODST. Such perfect style, nuance, goofiness, epic awesomeness and unmatchable feels. *sigh* How I miss those days.....

[@malachiguarnieri7215]

Talk about a throwback! I remember being so hyped for the beta to drop, let alone the game itself.

[@Captain_Chromosome]

I like how they actually showed bugs aswell like the mid air execution

[@TheWehzy]

I miss the old good halo days so much man. Almost 30y0 soon and all i wanna do is go back in time and relive it :(

[@Mathiakle]

"Welcome to the last day of the rest of your life."

[@CrackyCreates]

I like how the trailer contained some bugs, they weren't afraid to show that the game isn't perfect in every way

[@jediyeti4470]

Bungie understands. They always did.

[@abadgunman6838]

Love the guy at 0:40 trying to steal the kill hahaha

[@Thehackerguy2000]

The best part of this trailer is that it’s only in game footage, including the floating camera shots, you can do that shit nice n smoothly.

[@MagiOperandi]

This was a blast from the past, why am I only seeing this in my feed now?

[@TJ_ax]

Man the nostalgia I feel it right in my heart

[@Orion_The_Omega]

That rolling guy at the end got me LoL

[@weirdsmiler9942]

This version of the game brings back back so much memory

[@Vheneu]

"The ugly" and then showing a harmless aerial assassination bug is a good comedic middle ground.

[@jdg1251]

the spinning dying ragdoll is so iconic

[@lukeo2982]

Part of the reason why I like older games and older game trailers more is that it's very simple. Easy to understand, not overly complex, no try hard editing, just straight to the point gameplay. Games nowadays try way too hard to be realistic that they kind of lose their magic.

[@Zaczac111]

That's me in the Banshee at 0:09 Saw just how perfect the skylight was to fit through with a damaged Banshee and messed around in there all the time. The beta was such a fun time, the Bungie era had a real soul to it.

[@SunnyDjuice]

Fr?

[@Lin_Eileen]

I always liked how in the beta of Halo Reach the medals were dirty looking

[@PVTBaconator16]

This and the Multiplayer Trailer to announce the Beta for Reach are unmatched. Still love the music from that multiplayer one.

[@dysennn]

never saw this trailer but thats dope, i love that they even include that bugged air assassination lol

[@dogwoodhillbilly]

Ah, I remember watching this trailer on G4 back in the day. The glory days of Halo right here boys and girls.

[@CaptainDJ_VT]

Still got this saved on my 360, baby

[@AegisAuras]

The ugly are those times you remember the clearest.

[@JoshtheOverlander]

What's more badass than using armor lock just as a vehicle is coming in at ramming speed, leading it to explode on collision.

[@reffa2858]

I loved the halo 3 Vidocs. use to watch them on repeat when I was younger. and even though I didnt like Halo 4, they had some pretty upbeat weapon trailers.

[@augustinoesposito951]

That's because there the community is having fun and the devs like to show off their really fun and well made game.

[@ryanwassink7622]

This game came out a few days before my 10th birthday. I remember watching this trailer almost everyday until I finally got it on my birthday. My first Halo game was Halo 3 but Reach and this trailer in particular were so special and bring back so many memories.

[@yscg-4277]

My two favorite things: watching two armor chads fight to the death, and then watching one of those same armor chads just absolutely one shot a scorpion

[@galaxytater2566]

this is both fun, nostalgia inducing, and saddening because I miss Reach so much

[@dwannwilson1260]

Bring back memories

[@BryanGQ593]

They knew their community so freaking well. They understood what made Halo, Halo. This trailer was so entertaining to watch.

[@notagent4]

you could say, they made halo. lol

[@gregbagel791]

Wow looks like a game released by a company that actually talked to its play testers and had fun making their game, that game being made with the purpose to be as fun as possible.

[@DJkazma66]

Bro Halo Reach beta was fucking amazing woke up everyday playing. the hype was so REAL truly is the best memories I've had of Halo MP, you had to be their to knw how amazing that shit was. This video made me cried bruh we just don't get launches like that anymore 😭

[@Kittensarecute111]

Bungie recognized that games aren't just a product, they are an experience. All of their marketing for Halo showcased this.
