    A little correction around 5:30
    All humans are reclaimers, all of them have that ancient human DNA the librarian inserted in them, the only difference is that in some humans it is stronger than the rest.
    In fact this DNA was the reason why the Spartan 2 kids were selected, because that gene was stronger on them than the rest, Halsey influenced by the Librarian's plan looked for this special characteristics in the DNA to choose her candidates. This was also one of the reasons why Master Chief wasn't the first human to be called by 343 Guilty Spark to access the Library to get the Index, on a side note, there's one marine that got really close to get the Index, meaning he had the skills to get as far as any Spartan would've gotten without any of their augmentations, probably the normal human being closest to the next natural human evolution, if he were born the same year as Master Chief, he would've probably be one of the strongest if not the strongest Spartan 2, yes, above Fred, John and Samuel.

    Excellent symmary in one hour. Just finishing yet another Halo CE to Infinite campaing binge, but now with 30 years of age being able to focus more deeply to the stroy and lore and not only grunts birthday parties. Every play through gives something new. And like Zeta Halos monitor said, raises even more questions. Thank you fot he video, great work.

I had apprehensions about Infinite and then omg it’s story was a stunning and brilliant triumph, because of this I let myself get excited about the show.
      And now I am just… fucking sad. All that production quality, all that talent and work and emotional effort… to make what? To make a reminder that caring about cannon makes us stupid? To remind us that all those books we bought and games we build our identities around are utterly meaningless to the people who hold dominion over the license

    I grew up with this game as well. One of my friends older brothers was playing The Silent Cartographer mission on the OG Xbox back in 2004 and let me play. I didn't know anything about the lore, just enjoyed shooting aliens alongside marines.
    As I grew up and delved more into the lore I became more fascinated and at times overwhelmed by the story. Not many shooter games can captivate an entire console user base with the story and Halo does this better than anyone.
    There have been bumps in the road with the story, and that makes sense when you consider the shift in knowledge from Bungie to 343. Infinite seems to be a way to "rectify mistakes" and "make amends" like the message from Cortana states at the ending of the Halo infinite main story. She also mentions the "potential" she sees in Chief and The Weapon (who is really a copy of Cortana with some tweaks and changes) and I think that also refers to the potential we all see with infinite.
    I'm glad to see that the speculation of killing off chief was not real and although we miss Cortana I think we can all begin to foster a great relationship with the weapon, or whatever name she chooses for herself.
    I'm excited for the future. One day the Halo journey will end, perhaps decades from now when I'm old and gray. Until then I'm looking forward to seeing what the next steps in the story will be for Master Chief and his legacy.

    Been here since 01. It's been a crazy journey and yet through it all, my love for this vast universe has never once wavered, even through the chaotic days of 4 and 5. 343 did A LOT of soul searching before Infinite and my god I can honestly say they've hit their stride and brought back that magic and sense of wonder that made the original trilogy so loved. Infinite is addictively good and I'm scouring every inch of its open world to find as many Easter Eggs, cores, cosmetics and other fun nods to past games every chance I get! The DLC are gonna be just as good especially with the foundation they have built here. I feel like that 11 year old kid again in 01 and it's an amazing feeling to rediscover!

      Yes! Correct way through chronologically, gameplay changes like Reach before CE be damned. Also if folks want to be EXTRA lorist. Read the original Halo Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund alongside playing Halo Reach. Yeah Bungie spat on his book work even though they helped him along a little. Sooo much for lor consistency. Need Halopedia/ Halo Alpha and other sources to make sense of the Reach based timeframe and events.

    Great explanations!
    I personally love everything within reach/halo 3.
    The lore preceding reach is generally interesting in terms of world building. I think it’s a bit more thorough than the writers needed to make it but also cool.
    Story wise, everything Halo 4 onward is either repetitive or uninspired by comparison imo. I think Halo’s biggest narrative sin was not giving master chief closure to his story at the end of halo 3. I think in a perfect world, the new battles should have developed new protagonists. But I understand that it would have been very counter-intuitive to retire master chief as he became such an iconic character. So it wasn’t that big a deal he wasn’t given closure in halo 3.
