That dam windows error noise blip was too god dam funny when Cortona was talking
Early sign of rampancy
@Incred_Canemian "What was that sound?"
"Don't worry about it Chief. I'm almost finished setting up your device."
Marty did such a good job with the music, the music is halo, it’s the very essence of the story telling.
What they all did to Marty is unforgivable
Tbh my end game of stellaris went like this, we got overrun from a flood like hivemind from out of the galaxy
Frost Same
Owen Yin I retreated to my Core worlds and prepared for a fight to the death
@Owen Yin With me, they were easily eliminated, because the Contingency attacked at the same time, and swallowed half a galaxy, and a Khan attacked too. I was alone and neutral. We won (4 empires including me), there were only 6 species left, and we started with more than 30, I believe.
What game is that? It sounds like my kind of game.
I psychically cannot play anything other than a militarist xenophobic human empire in stellaris
The soundtrack really compliments these animated shorts, practically carries the whole thing tbh.
SK
Like how the Silent Hill movie wouldn't be the same without the music from the games. I do think this is better than that film though.
Pretty much can be said to the whole Halo franchise. Sorry I went there.
@@thaneros
Minus 4 and 5. The music in those are pretty forgettable.
@@civilwarfare101 except the title screen music in 4 that shit was amazing
@@techissus7449
117 is a good track too.
The horrors of the flood were unending. Every day a new creature and another nightmare. In the halo games they were puny compared to what they were during the time of the forerunner flood war. Imagine all the diffetent forms they could produce. Flood forms the size of planets
Yeah the one in the Halo games were basically the equivalent to a small outbreak compared to what the Forerunner had to fight.
(Note, during the Forerunner Era, The Flood could also use Star Roads, Precursor structures, to tear apart starships, installations, and even planets).
I will point out though that these depictions actually aren't entire accurate, and are largely Cortana "guessing" on what they may have looked liked ie. Cortana's own interpretation.
@@IamCanadian3333the planetary graveminds are actually confirmed due to the fact that the gravemind from halo 3 took over high charity which is larger than any structure on earth and was still growing bigger
@@allenrichiez930 I know, I never said otherwise. I was just pointing out that not all portrayals are accurate.
@@IamCanadian3333 it’s ok to guess on good factors and statements
Puny in games. Ever face a rocket flood
Note, both origins 1 and 2 are simplifications of the halo lore
TheGamingZilla that’s the point, it was made to clearly and simply explain the lore to new fans
Can I just say? I feel like Origins: Part 1 and 2 leads to Cortana’s ambition in Halo 5. She sees the Forrunner- Flood War to the Human-Covenant War, and she realize: she sees no peace. Only war, over and over constantly.
yeah like how they forgot to mention that humans not only lived during this time but were in a war with the forerunners and actually were fighting the flood before the forerunners
Kevin Cho Oh right! I almost forgot about the Halo 4 lores too... thanks!
Of course, this was all before Bungie left halo to their parent company and the lore was shifted heavily.
"But it was an impossible fight." Maybe you shouldn't send in the power rangers with handguns that join up just to kill one of those flying things. I get wanting it to look cool, but they could've used a better shot to show the futility of fighting back.
Graebel Ikr
Not to mention they got the almost completely backwards as well especially in part 2.
Spawn Hybrid rewrite your comment, please. I do not understand
GreatfulGert In halo origins 2 they say the covenant and humanity united against the flood and eventually made peace with each other. While that may be true for the covenant separatists that did not happen with the entire covenant. They got the story of halo 3 completely wrong.
Spawn Hybrid True. The covenant was reformed by the great schism (Halo 2). The brutes were the main force of the covenant through Halo 3, and the Elites were United. Honestly, we could chalk up the misinformation to cortanas rampancy.
Does this remind anyone else of the "Animatrix" origin episodes?
Same animation studio
I liked it when the Forerunners were the good guys.
They still are good guys, ultimately. They made mistakes but they meant well. They're just a society with flaws and struggles like every other society, which in my mind at least makes them more interesting. Personally I find a struggling hero with inner demons, mistakes, or flaws to overcome more satisfying than a plain goody two shoes hero.
Seraphim7996 they started a genocide of ancient humanity because they were upset they wouldn’t be next in line for the mantel of responsibility, and they killed their creators too, the precursors that were left after the purging turned themselves into dust to reform thousands of years later but it got corrupted and turned into the flood, so the forerunners basically creates the parasite, they also used humans and turned them into the prometheans so I can’t see how they did any good ?
@@ray-0249 I would call that cherrypicking, is the thing. Yes their civilization did terrible things sometimes, but it also existed for millions of years and encompassed who knows how many trillions or quadrillions of beings during that timeframe. If you only look at the bad, then sure, they look awful, but the same can be said of any individual, group, nation, or whatever. For a real world example, look at the United States, can you unequivocally state that we are good or evil? We've committed genocide and invented technological marvels that have changed the world. Fought for freedom and justice and also openly exploited those weaker than us. Empowered racists, dictators, and corporate stooges as well as sent immense amounts of humanitarian aid to other less fortunate countries out of a desire to do good. It's not so simple to just label something as good and evil. There are always pros and cons, rights and wrongs.
So yes, the Forerunners have done many terrible things, they wiped out the Precursors, devolved humanity, and created something not unlike imperialism with the rest of the galaxy.
But they also shepherded and looked after the younger races, protecting them, enlightening them, and trying to keep peace in the galaxy. They only fought humanity out of what was essentially self-defense, since let's not forget humanity attacked them first (for good reason, of course, but the Forerunners didn't know that at the time). And in the end they willingly and intentionally sacrificed themselves and their entire civilization in order to buy life for everyone else.
And anyway many of their worst crimes are tens of thousands or in some cases hundreds of thousands of years old by the time their civilization ends. Just because their distant ancestors did something bad does not mean that they should all be held accountable for all time. That'd be like blaming the people of today for something the Romans or the Persians etc. did two thousand years ago.
Lastly, "They" turned humans into prometheans, but let's be real that was just the Didact and his inner circle
, not Forerunner civilization as a whole. Even the Didact wasn't exactly in his right mind, since he had basically been driven mad by the primordial. And even then, yes turning people into Promethean is not nice, but it was ultimately conceptualized as a way to defeat the Flood, not something done out of pure malice. Regardless you can't really blame them all for the actions of just a handful.
Seraphin that was not just halo that was actually an amazing real world explanation. I’m Australian and I know we’ve done terrible things but we’ve done good to
Seraphim7996 The reasoning behind ancient humanities aggression was due to the fact the forerunners where ignorant to the overwhelming threat that was manifesting across the galaxy, with it already devastating human colonized space, and why would the forerunners attack instead of question or simply communicate to the humans on their unexpected and in the forerunners mind (unprovoked hostility)?, and even after winning they went as far to make sure every human in the “galaxy” was either wiped out or devolved to point of primitivism, due to their greed and lust for upholding the mantle of responsibility “themselves and themselves alone” #didactquote, and no they never did look after life.
The precursors were the only ones who ever held the mantle and actually did that, the precursors were the ones who spread across the Milky Way enlightening, supporting and caring for their creations even the forerunners, the precursors were going to then pass the mantle to the creation they deemed fit and worthy, due to them most likely on the evolutionary verge of transcending a physical form and the fact the precursors the most technologically and philosophically advanced/enhanced species in the galaxy the ones who made the forerunners deemed them unworthy which shows that the forerunner ideology/philosophy is not right, their species was so arrogant and immature that they couldn’t accept their fate like how the humans did at the end of the war with the forerunners, the people of their society wanted to unleash the flood on the forerunners for their complete eradication of their race but the leaders of humanity denied the prospect and accepted their fate just like their creators did at the hands of the forerunners, the precursors did not fight back once the forerunners began to lash out after their decision to choose humanity and every precursor accepted their deaths.
The fact that humanity and the precursors were both annihilated due to the insecurities of one civilization speaks volumes about the forerunners themselves.
Crazy how the Forerunners were beat even with the firepower they had at their disposal at the 6:56 mark.
It is known that the story in this video is flawed, Ancient humanity basically "glassed" every world that have a flood outbrake, including forerunner's ones. Forerunners who didn't knew about the flood and declared war to humans, the humans were unable to win because they were fighting both the flood & the forerunners, but they really weakened the forerunners before losing. Then the forerunners were attacked by the flood and were unable to beat them.
TL:DR : The forerunners had just before a war with humanity that left them very weak
Actually, it was Mendicant Bias betrayal that led to their demise along with the "Burns" Star Roads and Key Minds generated that made their technology and Slipspace fail completely along with the Logic Plaque. The Forerunners were actually doing pretty good for the first 280 years and it was until the last decade or so when things went to Hell for the Forerunners. The Forerunners had nearly 10 thousand years after the Human-Forerunner War and both the Halo Array and Shield Worlds are the result of that time period.
R4d6 the forerunners did discover the flood during th human-forerunner war but didn't believe it a big enough threat to warrant the humans glassing of infected worlds.
Bit late on the draw here, but that technology and firepower is why they were defeated. They waited too long to use it, not until the Flood ‘had spread too far, and too wide.’
@@synth8519No, the entire point was the Flood used this same technology and weaponry against them, not that it was too late to use it. Anything they used against Flood was just turned back on them and made it 10x worse than it already was
The one forerunner who got the most flood kill is the John Wick of the Forerunner world
What a complete halo anime could’ve been like
Gun Warfare
the nostalgia man
Man a forerunner prequel would be fun
What I learned from this: Cortana is a narcissist, literally explaining how smart she is to an unresponsive MC.
lmao
Well she is a flash clone of Dr Halsey so…
Well she has been alone for years we would all talk to ourselves or act to talk to a sleeping guy after that long
6:42 That larger Sentinel in the center absolutely dwarfs the massive Retriver Sentinels, and even the Guardian Sentinels, (Cut Halo 3 version)
Good Luck, BRO0!!!!!!
Something how a Retriever in Halo Wars 2 is about the size of a UNSC Condor but if look carefully at the center of the map Sentry or Badlands can't remember which theirs a dormant one that's twice the size of the standard you use in the game.
This mixes two of my favorite things halo and amine
Oh my lord the music so good
I like how the Forerunners look like humans. It's almost like Bungie established that in the first three games until 343i messed it up.
First of all, Forerunners and humanity were NEVER the same species, Bungie never leaned towards any option until Halo 3 with its terminals making it clear they're different species.
343i just decided to expand on what was already established, and thanks to that, we got one of the best narratives in the Halo universe, the Forerunner trilogy.
But instead of bothering to read the books, you'd rather spout nonsense.
And let me remind you that 343i kept up the narrative of an ancient humanity with the Hamanush, and that the Precursors created humans and Forerunners from the same stock.
Oh wait... what is that? In 9:55? Oh yeah, HUMANS.
@fluthlight7131 "For eons I have watched. Listened to you misinterpret. This is not reclamation. This is reclaimer, and those it represents are my makers. I will reject my bias and make amends. My makers are my masters. I will bring them safely to the Ark."
- Mendicant Bias
"You are the child of my Makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner! But this ring... is mine!"
- 343 Guily Spark
@@flatarthur3161 Oh yeah, the infamous Bias line.
Here's the deal, when Staten wrote Contact Harvest, he was on temporary administrative leave due to differences with Marcus Letho, so he wasn't informed about what the terminal team had written.
Over time, they fixed that reclaimer inconsistency with the Geas and humanity being heirs of the Forerunners.
Even a former Bungie employee had to jump into the debate and make it very clear that 343i just worked with what was ALREADY devised.
@fluthlight7131 Yet 343 Guilty Spark calls the Master Chief a Forerunner. As for the terminals, Paul Russel knew someone who worked on the terminals, and they said the Forerunners were just a group of early humans uplifted by the Precursors.
@@flatarthur3161 Master chief has Iso-Didact Geas.
Well...that's the theory, Spark was rampant lol.
7:27 Please please oh please add the Hardlight Saber as a weapon at some point...
COOL G RAPP, whenever I hear the sounds of this, I get the excitement field of chill bumps all over, its epic
I like how while all other species appeared to be tribal the sanghili (elites) were building stone cities
that music at 6:26 onward.... I've been trying to find it ever since Halo Legends came out. I know it's a long shot, but has anyone found it or discovered its name?
I know the last bit is called Finale 2 on the soundtrack, but idk the rest
I’ve been trying so hard bro it’s so good
Actually I just searched and found it. Look up “halo legends forerunner theme”
Forerunners weapons sound is good!
Look up Halo Infinite sound design and go to the xbox, one. 343 is using an Xbox to make the new forerunner weapon sounds and it's soooo satisfying
Just spent about 5 minutes trying to work out what caused the 'Windows hardware removed' sound O_o
Even the forerunners fell to windows
So why did the Forerunners have samples(I think samples) of the Flood inside the Halo rings? Also Legends should be added to the Halo Channel/MCC.
@David McConville Thanks! I guess that makes sense. Still a dumbass move IMO.
@@thaneros maybe not we know that the flood is another form of the precursors basically the gods that created the forerunners and every living being in the universe by saving samples of their creators there may be a chance for their physical forms to come back
@@thaneros Not really, they couldn't be sure they had gotten the job done. They had the samples to teach any successors how to deal with them should they ever appear again. They just never counted on the Flood actually breaking containment.
The samples were kept and stored within the bowels of each installation so that the monitors could study the parasite and accumulate as much knowledge as possible and maybe even find a cure for the other intelligent races to accumulate if the flood were to appear again, but as 343 guilty spark stated after his many years of research and existence that only the rings can stop the flood because there is no cure,
They were also kept cause… the flood can’t really be eradicated. Even by halo, there’s always *something* left behind. Be it a dormant spore waiting for the conditions to be right to wake up again.
You can see this especially in Halo wars 2. Despite the fact the Replacement halo fired, destroying itself and causing major damage to the ark… the flood persisted and survived.
So it’s essentially a “alright we can’t get rid of the flood in it’s entirety… so let’s study it the best we can. Maybe there is a cure”
The fact that the forerunners tried 1,000 other options and they all failed is pretty scary, that just shows when the flood is there it’s either die with them or suffer for eternity. Master chief and the rest of the lifeforms around basically ruined the galaxies last chance to get rid of the flood.

Dr. Weird:😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰GENTLEMEN BEHOLD MY BEAUTIFUL FIANCÉE😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see some custom halo animations someday soon if that’s possible? 0:47
I really love this music.
Do u not the song
just unfortunate. This was so well done and one of the first things 343 put their name to showing how much they did know and respect the source material only to change it all up needlessly with halo 4. They did come back in Inifinite and came swinging as far as understanding the source material and nailing the artstyle and music, but like thats retribution for needlessly changing it in Halo 4 lol. Like Halo 4 is beautiful it woulda been kickass if they dedicated that focus and tech into keeping Halo what is was instead we all know what happened. Just a weird thought is all. Back when there as consistency and the forerunners were ancient human and the good guys
U need more subs not gonna lie
I dont see bullshit ass prometheans and its perfect for me
always war.. "doo do"
why cant they just make this into live action this movie is PEAK halo
All of this reminds me of the invaders from shin getter robot armaggedon
so halo is basically a universe sized nuke. damnn
so is this all non canon now since the forerunners were an awful race of aliens with god complexes indirectly creating the flood by killing the race that created life only for that race to turn into the flood
Not at all. This is canon Cortana is shown to go rampant durimg this so her opinions are off, but the events all happened. This was a way to introduce casuals
do you have the rest of the episodes
after all these years the algorithm has brought me back to you

Get away. Get far away. When they come. And they are coming - people run their mouths as easily as they breathe- you can't be anywhere near me.
Just like with Dead Space Downfall, I love how many video games continue off animated between events
"Yeah its a good idea to only put 5 soldiers to fight a fucking parasite that infected our whole fucking planet"
Less soldiers, less biomass. They likely sent their best to maximise damage and minimise gains for the flood if they lost. Throw in some sort of kill switch just to be extra safe.
Furthermore, escalation of force is important. If you burn the entire planet for a small infection, you're basically doing the Flood's job for them.
That was all over the planet. Extremely outnumbered.
Each of them could dogwalk masterchief.
Masterchief armor classification was grade 2. Forunners had grade 18
Chiefs upgrade between MK5 to mk6 went unnoticed by guilty spark
It certainly does seem like it·s all happening again , doesn·t it? .

Why not just glass the planet?
They probably did and much more. I've read that they were blowing up entire solar systems at the peak of the war.
God, Halo lore was so much better with Bungie...
Lore, storytelling, even the multi-player, Halo 2 and 3 were some of the most played games on Xbox Live for multiple years after release, most games barely scrape by a few months or less now
@@UNSCPILOT
When I think about it, why was 343i even hired in first place when they´re that incompetent at handling Halo?
They didn´t even understand that the Forerunners were Humans, not Aliens.
Bungie picked a foundation and expanded on it, 343i tried to re-invent the wheel and made it a square.
@@elnacho657 forerunners aren’t humans, that was already established by halo 3 by bungie.
@@GeneralNaga67 The opposite, it was kind of vaguely described but heavily implied that the forerunners were humans. It´s atleast a way better idea than whatever this nonsense from Halo 4 was meant to be.
@@elnacho657 not really, the forerunner data logs you find in halo 3, and even the legends animations put forerunners and humans as two different things entirely. It’s only really Guilty Spark that refers to humans as forerunners… and he’s insane with rampancy.
And even then if he wasn’t, the reclaimers are the inheritors of all that were left behind. In that sense. They *are* the new forerunners… just not the race that fired the halos.
RIP Bungie
This wasn't Bungie
The flood,together with tyranids are one of the most stupid idea ever.
Massive L take
As much as I love halo legends, it's just a knockoff of the animatrix
Ry Guy the anime matrix tie in
I don't see that as a bad thing.
Ry Guy I dont know.
Origins I & II was directed by one of the people that worked on the Second Renaissance for the Animatrix. So you have that.
Inspired by, does not mean knockoff of.
They're both enjoyable and tie into their respective universes, that's fine.
Starwars and Star Trek ain't ripoffs of each other and both have good (and bad) content and spinoffs
