      @M4X I've come to realize that most of these showrunners, i.e. writers, producers, directors, etc; are just trying to make a name for themselves and probably don't find value towards their career advancement in just sticking with pre-existing source material. I hate it, but that's probably a major driving factor.

      I haven't even gotten 3 minutes in.. and all I can say.
      Glorious... Going to finish the rest then probably watch it again.. because. Yes... I find it odd how halo 3 odst and halo reach are the only two games with fire fight... And then I realized. The convenient.. never wholly made it past reach... Like they were staled.. and they were staled hard by the odst, rise of the flood, rise of the Banished. Let alone the casualties a handful of Spartans could cause..
      And then wonder why we don't see flood infection form's in halo infinity...
      Well basically.. human had the time to deal with the flood before it could become a problem..
      The flood basically united the covenant with humanity. And those oblivious to the flood. On the covenants side became part of the Banished.. I assume the Banished was something building up from the very start of the covenant...
      I'm mean... An all controlling superpower... Like that can't go wrong in anyway...
      Well examples of it going wrong... Look at any one of the global superpowers history.. and realize.. that's what I just mentioned..

      Which, for me, is powerful because its established that many ODSTs share fierce rivalry with Spartans to the point of hate. Not that some can be blamed like that one ODST commander in The Flood novel. Still, I say in good will, if there was any place for a Spartan to die, its their home on Reach. If there's any place for an ODST to die alongside a Spartan, its also on Reach.

      We deserved it alright. There's been a severe lack of well-done fan-made halo animations and such. At least in comparison to other franchises in a similar stature. (Warhammer, Starwars, Doom, Half-Life) To top it all off, we've got the most unorganized, benighted and outright incompetent studio currently responsible for Halo.
      While other studios responsible for said franchises also have serious issues that cause their community headache after headache, they at least get far more regular content that is more often than not much more authentic to the series than what Halo has gotten the past years.
      343 has tried to turn and twist the image of Halo for no other reason than "We're not bungie". A waste of a studio that have misunderstood their purpose, instead striving to alienate the audience they were left with. So to be honest, I'd say if there's any community that deserves to have content like this made, Halo is definitely one of them

And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.

      That's not to mention the season passes, whether it's them implementing scummy bullshit or rewriting something that was already perfectly functional because they feel like they could do better? I guess?

    You just made the ending of Halo Reach 100x more special, by showing us that the MAC cannon cruiser takedown and Pillar Of Autumn takeoff would have been seen for miles around, by both the covenant and surviving UNSC. Most of the human forces knew they probably weren't making it off the planet alive at that point, but they bought *just enough* time for another ship to get away. And most of the covenant might've been surprised to see a *whole cruiser* go down so late in the invasion, when they'd wiped out almost all of the human forces and ships even capable of doing that, when they'd basically *already won.*
    There were so many great action/character beats in this video, like that ODST in the rain with the matching OST, and the Silent Shadow elites (the covenant got just as much love as the UNSC!)
    Just the fact that you animated AT LEAST over a hundred character models over god knows how many shots & sequences... This is up there with the most passionate Halo fan works ever made, if not at the top of the list.
    Even if you go on to animate other things and never make another piece of Halo content ever again, I wish you the best. Keep going!

    I cannot lie, this made me tear up just like Halo: Reach did. The amount of expression you gave these Spartans and ODSTs with very little dialogue is incredible, and it makes me feel for them all the more. Every single one of them deserved so much better. Remember Reach.

      I've always found it weird how a two thousand pound spartan can casually climb into a warthog without flipping it over or walk on stairs. The warthog might be counter balanced by the turret, but the turret itself cant be more than 700-900 lbs.

      The camera shakes as the Spartans walk past is visible in some other places too, notably when the team is walking up to the defenses on the last scene. You can also see the entire Falcon lean to one side and then rock when the Spartan gets out of the pilot seat. So much love went into this!

You took Reach, you glassed it. But you will never trully break us.

      This was the end.
      "C'MON, SPARTAN! GIVE EM HELL!" The man inside swung his rifle up again, and laughed madly as he held the trigger.
      Time was slow here.
      The Spartan was, dying. His medical readout said it. He felt it.
      A plasma bolt embedded itself into the ODST's throat. His laughter cut off, rifle walking into the sky, clicking empty, as his body fell. The Spartan raised the pistol.
      The woman backing them up threw her last grenade, and began turning to engage another threat. Two rounds struck her in the sternum, armor boiling red and white, though she still managed to pull the trigger back before another took her in the visor. The handgun thundered.
      Time was slow here.
      One's shield sparked and shattered, a third round sinking into his maw. A second's shield flashed orange brittle, before the Sangheili bashed the pistol from his hand.
      The sword came down, down, down...
      The moment came after a year of waiting.
