I was a little saddened with the MCC - Only because when I played Halo Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, on every map I used to spend ages looking up in the sky and look at the land masses and water on the other side of the Halo ring and just stare at its wonder - then they added weather on the anniversary edition so you could barely see it because it was covered. (Obviously I know this was because that generation of consoles were limited and didn’t have the processing power to render anything close to what the 360 or the Xbox one could).

For Zero Four? Yes, 343 did a good job keeping a lid on the Flood until the Covies broke the doors open. For Zero Five though...2401 lost control of the situation AEONS before anyone landed there. Zero Five was autonomously and barely quarantining the Flood until the Covenent landed.

Surely you understand that once the parasite attacked...." *Proceeds to get booed by the council and declared a heretic, effectively beginning the end of the Covenant.* That opening cutscene for Halo 2 does so much in terms of world building for the Covenant.... Probably my favorite cutscene from the entirety of the Halo series next to the Gravemind scene later on in the game. Also: HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY TO HALO REACH. Edit: looking at how this scene between the Hierarchs and The Arbiter is the first scene of the entire game, it makes Regret’s words “When you first saw Halo…” have much more meaning: it brings the player back to when *THEY* first saw Alpha Halo. The story telling of *this* first scene is simply phenomenal. God DAMN the Bungie Halos were so fucking good.

As for 07 and the one in Halo 5, I don’t have anything other than that Humans could still reach then in a reasonable time even with their relatively slow FTL. Even if a ship spend a year in FTL with the crew in cryo to reach them, they still can’t go massive distance on a galactic scale, which is what the Halos are meant to be working on.

Not being a gamer, but an avid Sci-Fi reader, I am totally familiar with Larry Niven's 'Ringworld', and only got to discover Halo from watching the 'Rooster Teeth's' 'Red vs Blue' series. After watching this, all I can say is that the game writers took Larry's science and technology, and wound it up to 1̶1̶ 50! I'm not even sure if the total power of any single solar system could drive this tech 0_0. Still, like Arthur C.Clarke said, "Any suitably advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".

"A thousand other plans tried & failed..."

I didn't realize that you folks did mega structures. I gotta hand it to ya, that was one of the most in depth videos on the Halos in a long time. What do you think about doing one on the Ark?

I love how you used, “Under The Cover of Night” as the opening song!!! Super nostalgic and always brings me back to Truth and Reconciliation level!

This is brilliant content. I love the high quality of production. The writing, music and editing is top notch. Thanks to all those involved in making this video I really enjoyed it. Thoroughly entertaining. Cheers. PS most importantly I love the narration of each episode sorry I inadvertently forgot to mention it.

Never has a hoola hoop inspired such feelings

First time I've ever been more impressed with the advertisement than the channel content, but I love the Space-1999 book.

At 8:20 that's basically the only time we've seen a Halo being fired, not triggered nor semi-activated, but fully working to fire, in the game itself it's evident that the CGI depict the ring starting to siphon local vacuum-energy to harness energy before priming and firing.

I always wondered how there was gravity allowing someone to walk all the way around the ring as well as why a galaxy doomsday weapon just has habitable terrain. Pretty interesting

@1597B

7 ай бұрын

The rings spin, creating their own gravity. Given these are Forerunner structures, it's not a stretch stating they have gravity technology embedded in them as well. As for why they are habitable? Well 1 is plain rule of cool, and 2 is speculation, but it would make sense the forerunners added terrain to the rings in case any lifeforms were to be kept there. Given the rings generate the blast, they likely wouldn't be effected by it and lifeforms on the rings would be safe.
