IT'S FINALLY HERE! Apologies for the one day delay, but given that it's 35 minutes of almost pure Flood/Precursor/Anicent Forerunner/Ancient Human/Mendicant Bias/Didact/Faber lore, it should be worth it ;)))) Next video coming either Sunday or Monday discussing the pros and cons of Halo Infinite being the last Halo game for at least 10 years, but for now, enjoy the lore!

Even Ubisoft open world games have lots of little things to do, and world details to immerse yourself in. Zeta Halo lacks so much of that life, let alone the kind of mystery that Elden Ring's world design has.

The flood history on this ring is deep. Imagine roaming around and then finding a portal. You go through and come out inside the library.

Still, even though the game absolutely doesn’t line up with the expectations this video might give, I thought it was a really really solid story in its own merit.

Garrett Tekampe I mean, this franchise was created as a gaming franchise. During the Bungie years, you didn’t need the extra lore (books, comics, waypoints) to understand where you were, why you were there, and what you were doing. The extra lore definitely expanded the story told in the games, and there were references to it, especially in the later games, but if you create a game based solely in a location mentioned only in expanded lore with such detailed history, you have to realize that you’re alienating a MASSIVE part of your target audience. I loved Halo. Couldn’t get enough of it. Even enough to read the books. But when I get played Halo 4, to me it was hollow. So much of the plot and story just seemed to be glossed over. Remember playing 3 games fighting as an underdog against the Covenant, to finally see their capital world and center of government, their ruling class and majority of their might and power destroyed because they decided to cast out the elites and attempted to completely wipe them out? Well now the elites are back with the covenant now. The covenant that wasn’t defeated and scattered. And they’re attacking humans again. BTW, where is the arbiter? What happened to those elites? Who tf is this space wizard that can seemingly melt walls and use the force to throw chief around like a rag doll? Yes, all of these questions are answered, but definitely not in game. IMO, that is a horrible way to tell a story. Halo 5 is just as bad, and I can’t say that I’m excited to have to do all this research just to understand what’s going on in this new game.

Every so often I become very concerned about Infinite but every time you talk about the lore and the potential for this game, my hype levels just skyrocket back up. You're like a one man marketing campaign for this game, and it's working flawlessly

Man you smiling and talking made me smile. Clearly very passionate about lore and it's just genuinely wholesome. Keep on keeping on, love the videos!

Now watch as none of the lore and history are included in the game.

Love hearing how hyped you are. Makes me so hyped for one of my all time favorite games and favorite stories.

If i'm being honest, i really would like to listen to you ramble about this stuff for days. i find this stuff so incredibly interesting, especially how it ties in to how we as a species ended up where we are now. halo is my childhood, the lore, setting, and just everything about it makes me want to explore the stars and actually find out what's out there.

Halo Infinite got too much hate IMO. Even I hated it at first, but now when I think about this, this seems like open world Reach.... but I cant get over Magnum not being in the game

And uknow, not just placed there to show it off in the reveal. Now all i need are two Australian friends, and it'd be a bloody good road trip.

Your excitement has reawakened my interest in the lore of Halo. Thank you for your dedication.

Keep up the great vids! It is helping me get through this dry period!

Looking back at this, seeing the gameplay trailer after both playing the game and seeing the improvement that happened in a years worth of polishing. I am soo glad they took the year omg.

Been subscribed for several years now. Your content has only gotten better and better. This video was such an interesting/entertaining way to get caught up with Zeta halo for infinite. Keep up with the great videos and always stay I C O N I C!

Did we play the same game it was about as generic bad guy story as it gets with tiny hints of bigger stuff going on here and there but this game was a let down basically a sacrifice to set up the next halo.gameplay is spot on but story was a wash period the whole thing was like being yelled at by a high-school bully it was laughable sometimes

Thanks for the video I love these "mystery" lore types.

Good video. Glad to hear this is mostly from books. A couple missions into Infinite and only played up to 3 or 4 and most of my lore recall is coming from the show.

You know it's gonna be a good video packed with lore when it's 30+ minutes long

Heard this all before from your channel but just makes it even more hype to hear it from you again :)

Absolutely fantastic video!! I am a true Halo fan always have been and I always have wanted to get in on the books!! You have intrigued me and given me the final push, I want to start at book one! I have just now come across your videos as of yesterday and I am already a huge fan of yours. Subscribed! I can't wait for Halo: Infinite!

I see that your excited by this but my inner pessimist foresees the following events: Lead Writer: _Oh this location is deeply steeped in lore. That seems like it would take effort an skill to work around. I'm really going to need to push all of that into the trash so that I can force my own continuity breaking story that doesnt properly utilise the setting or established cast of characters in there._

And sadly, the only extras to explore are 7 rings with small audio files.

I love this channel. Finally subbed! Idk why I haven't yet but I fixed that now.

The emotion and excitement in your voice is the best and i love it! Im hyped and i hope it fulfills your expectations and mine.😁

Thanks, mate. Well done! Super stoked for Zeta Halo. Gosh I hope the Flood are back. I’ve replayed all of the games this summer as prep for Infinite and the Flood are just so much better to fight and experience than the Prometheans. Running into all or even some of this lore during our time on 07 will be magical as well. Keep the videos coming.

A part of me hasn’t got that much expectations in terms of exploring zeta halos past but the fact this game is supposed to be the platform for the next 10 years of halo gives me hope that everything will be explored in terms of narrative

It's interesting to know that there is something worse the flood on the ring
