    Okay, I've just finished watching all your Halo: Lost Wolves content and dude... you're a genius. Literally gave me goose bumps.
    I always thought and dreamt about what could have possibly happened to those Spartans left behind on Reach. I even went as far as to create my own team. There was just something so daunting, so despairing and intriguing about their fate, about injured and hopeless Spartans left behind, struggling to escape off the planet before it was glassed. About all those they lost in their mission and the agony of knowing that for all their efforts and sacrifice, Reach was lost. It appealed to me in a way that only something Halo really could. It inspired me to write a story of my own spartan team, and how they fought, bloody and broken and grief-ridden, to get off the planet they were supposed to protect. Abandoned. Stranded. Alone. And surrounded by the enemy. But I never actually got to release it, to get it out there. So seeing you, a fellow Halo fan, creating something so amazing and creative as this... I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel this day. It gives me hope. My spartan heart has never been prouder to be apart of this community. You can rest assured knowing that wherever this journey takes us, I'll be watching with pride along the way.

    I love that someone has done something with this games potential. Halo hasn't received an actually decent show or movie even though it has such substance for it. This is simply amazing and knowing some people that really enjoy the series, not people that make TV shows with big companies with agendas is great. This looks great and I hope it keeps going well for you because I've wanted something like this (probably like many others) for years. Thank you.

    That was absolutely incredible, the way it showed Noble Teams deaths with the Deliver Hope OST flooded me with nostalgia and sadness. The brutality of the brutes ripping apart the dead spartan, the skill and tenacity of the Zealots, the dread that came with learning the Covenant were there. This 23 minute video was better than the entirety of Halo 5. If ever Halo was to be made into a movie, this is how it should be done.

Good job to whoever wrote the script.

I have played halo since halo combat evolved and still love it to this day. Love the video and hope to see more in the future.

    Watching this from start to end was an amazing experience and with this being the first episode I have no complaints & am so thrilled to see what the future episodes have in store!

    This was really awesome to watch, the amount of time and dedication this took to get the animation right is really evident, and the decisions made to produce the final cut were outstanding. It’s honestly up to the fans to make good halo content, and you nailed this! From a big halo fan, this is awesome work!

    I just wanna say this was actually beautiful, the way I felt attached to the Spartans, the way the lighting was, the way the combat was, the little details you put in to make it realistic and the intense music! Bravo my guy! Like seriously, this was amazing!

    I absolutely love the call back of that music from the "Deliver Hope" tralier from back in the day. All of this is wonderfully made, you guys!đŸ‘â€
