"Who in 2009 was buying a 360 for the first time just to play ODST?" Me lol Well, not just to play ODST. But right when I was looking to buy a console, they released the Elite bundle that included ODST and the Pure/Lego Batman dual game. Pretty awesome deal at the time.

I went to the ODST truck in Tomball TX. Waited 2 hours to play less than 10min of Halo Firefight. They gave out license plate frames that read "my other car is a warthog"

I actually remember being at E3 and going through the hololens/Warzone experience with out of all people, the cast of Silicon Valley. Bonus fact they gave out USB sticks that looked like the chip Chief stuffs in the back of his head with Cortana, and it was loaded with some promo material and that whole parallel hunt the truth thing, which I still have.

When I was about 6 years old my parents got me the solid black xbox elite with ODST and I remember absolutely falling in love with halo and have been since. Thanks mom and dad for the incredible memories

The Halo 2 CE DVD sound test is my favorite random Halo media for sure. The Hunter for the subwoofer is priceless.

I have the halo mega construx infinity ship sitting on a shelf behind me, didn't know it was so rare lol

I attended Outpost Discovery in Philadelphia, something neat about it is everything there was canon; there are evn two named spartans in the lore that originated from OD (they were employees in cosplay you could take pictures with). There was some pretty cool stuff there, including an IRL warthog, life sized statues of Master Chief and an Elite, to scale replicas of a Flood infection form (which was much larger than I thought it would be) and a Monitor, laser tag with battle rifles, an experimental VR pvp arena, and said escape room. It was pretty fun, though the escape room did break halfway through.

Dont even play halo but I love listening to people to talk about their passion for various things. Great video! I remember my bros having the halo mega blocks set as kids but we either lost, chewed, or destroyed it over time lmao

I remember checking out Halo Iris after Halo 3 had dropped and found it all fascinating, would love to see a video on it!

Oh hey, I have that old 2004 Halo artbook. Picked it up at a used book store about a decade ago. Have kept it on my bookshelf ever since

I have never owned one of those slimmer 360s, and still have an og console. I remember an old one falling victim to the red ring of death, but this one has lasted a long time. Still plays games too

Thankfully got the Halo 3 slurpee cups back in the day. Glad to see them talked about here!

I used halo 5 forge a lot! Certain objects such as grass killed the frame rate on xbox, but my pc could handle it without any issues. So I could make some cool sets without worrying about framerate. I also used to record time lapse forge builds. I used my main pc to record, and my laptop to build. Basically co forged with myself.

I went to one of the H3 ODST Firefight truck events, got a sweet license plate Warthog holder thingy that I still have on my car to this day!

Former 7-11 employee here, yes, the Slurpee syrup does go bad after it's expiration date. They do usually last a while in storage, but usually people buy Slurpees so much that they have to be restocked at least once a week, if not more.

i played halo 5 forge pc quite a bit, on a wrestling trip we had like 10 ppl on laptops on it and it just became somewhat tradition for one year. then we just started bringing xboxes to the hotels and we stopped but for that time we played hours on end and it really wasnt that bad. made some maps when we have never even played forge before so it was cool to experience

I got the halo 3 odst bundle back in the day as a jumping in point to the series on my own. Grew up playing halo 3 with all of my friends at their houses but didn’t have my own, so the bundle was top of my Christmas list.

13:41 I actually won one of those Halo 4 lithographs back in 2013 from a raffle and I was allowed to choose a prize and I chose the art because it was limited edition. I think mine is 390/1000. I also have that Halo 2 changing ad from EB games as well.

"The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World" I actually have that book, and i love it

such a cool video. this is the type of halo stuff i live for! you should do one on all the old bungie net merch, i still have some og shirts. i also got to play in the odst truck. i remember coming home from school and seeing major nelson talk about it on a video on the xbox dashboard! wow that one really brought me back. they happened to stop at a gamestop near me that very day..... what are the odds. I won firefight in scoring and got a "my other car is a warthog" license plate frame. I also got postcards with odst promotional material. i didnt have a smartphone at the time, and most didnt so thats why video is ancient for this. its also baffling that that encyclopedia had so many errors.. oh how 343's incompetence spreads to all parts of halo

To be completely honest, most of my play time with Halo 5 was in Halo 5 Forge. I’m a cheapskate who doesn’t want to pay for Xbox Live so when I discovered there was a free version of the game on PC I jumped at the opportunity. Eventually the servers pretty much died since nobody uses it anymore, most likely because of the combined releases of MCC on PC and Halo Infinite. I was always really surprised that not many people knew that it existed because it was a really convenient, albeit anemic, way to play Halo 5.

I remember the codes were on the back of the dorito bags. I just walked around the store scanning them 😅

Halo Recruit is technically the last Halo game to have dual-wielding.

Ah yes the Arctic Rifle from Halo 4... When I had my first 360 in 2017 I also had Halo 4. And yes, I was 5 Years late of its Release. I still wanted the Skin so hard but couldn't find out how to get it. I bought the LE but the Skin wasn't included, and there was a skin on Ebay but that skin costs 400 Euros. Later I discovered that the Skin is in the Halo 4 GOTY edition, and there was one for 5 Euro - NEW. I bought it and one week later when I redeemed all the Codes, I also got the Blueish Light rifle skin that you only get in the Xbox 360 Slim Halo 4 Bundle, a Hazop Forest (Camouflage style) armor Skin, and of course the Arctic BR skin. I was so Happy...

I absolutely loved Halo 5 Forge on PC. I didn't want to have to deal with buying an Xbox One and paying for gold and all that just to play one game. Also it was the first Halo game on PC in years

Sequel video!!! I love learning about this stuff, thanks rocket sloth!

DUUUUDE the ODST truck that toured across the US!!! I was there for that! I remember sneaking into the menu settings when I wasn't supposed to, and I saw you could take off the ODST character's helmet and flipped out. Then the Bungie guys in the truck told me to not go into the menus anymore. I was the coolest kid in school telling everyone how the next Halo game you can take off your helmet and see your face.

I remember that when i was at a yard sale I saw a mega blocks mammoth that was only missing the mongoose and it was for about 15 bucks when the set new was about 500 on Amazon so I got it unfortunately it was smashed because the bottom was unstable now it is sitting in a bag with all the parts

I use to play halo 5 forge on PC quite a bit, I sold my halo 5 themed Xbox one, because I needed a new desk, (money was tight, and I needed the workspace) I really enjoyed the community and forge community in halo 5 so I would often long for it again, sure enough I would play this to satisfy that itch. Though Yer servers were pretty dead even then.

Another set of very rare collectors items imo would be the final wave of Mattel Halo figures. That saw a very limited release before Mattel dropped the license to make Halo action figures. I have no idea how many actually got onto shelves but I’ve only ever seen them a few times on eBay. I have the Elite Warrior but that’s it.

My first 360 was the black ODST Elite. I remember it like it was yesterday. So excited to open that box!

How do we not have a full halo CE VR port yet? I'm just saying it could be amazing!

i always loved the Machinima with the action figure master chief

As someone who played Halo 2 since day 1, and was there for Zombies, I had no idea there was a disc that had the gametype as a DLC. That's hilarious. Good times though. My best days in gamer was with Halo 2.

I still have my "Halo Reach" Edition 360 slim and controllers, still love it

I still have a Halo 2 watch from circuit city and a promo 7-11 halo 2 shirt.

Halo channel was funny cause I downloaded it and it was like 2020 I started halo 5 and got interested in the franchise I went on and watched the episodes and got that good odst armour.

The ODST Truck I clearly remember getting photos of. I have some framed in my room. I had to drive from Florida to Tennessee: one of the states the truck was visiting. I came close to entering the truck but I decided not to spoil the experience of Halo 3 ODST early for myself. I have always wondered; what happened to the ODST Truck after ODST released? Hopefully the truck was preserved by 343 and is safely in storage or something.

I'm not a hardcore halo 5 forge PC player, but I do play it quite a lot just to mess around

Forgot the Taco Bell exclusive ODST, that was limited to I think 4 consoles, and looked closer to the Halo 3 console with a translucent skin as well. Now THAT is obscure. Also Halo 3 Zune with exclusive (at the time) art loaded on it

I remember when Reach came out i wanted the bestbuy armor and on day 2 after release of waiting for it i was freaking out so i went and got a gamestop copy and sent back the bestbuy one.
