Combing all three Secret History videos, learn how Bungie defined the console shooter in Combat Evolved, nearly destroyed themselves making Halo 2, and delivered a masterpiece in Halo 3. Strap in space marine, you're in for a ride.

    My favorite moment was when Jobs said "Pixar could easily do better" and then Bungie said "but could they do it in real time" that is so true, and speaks to how awsome video games are and how impressive real time graphics are

    Phenomenal review series! I think you all did an amazing job capturing the grueling experiences and blissful heights the Bungie team likely went through. It took me on a more emotional rollercoaster than I was expecting from a game review. So much so I had to watch this movie after already watching the original seperate vids.

    My favorite game series of all time. It disheartening to see that Bungie struggled and lost a lot during the development of the first two games. However I think all of the development team can look back and smile knowing they created a juggernaut of a series that is still going fast

    Halo 2 will also be a favorite of mine. I was in The Marine Corps deployed to Iraq. My wife waited in line at the midnight release for Halo 2 sent it and my Xbox to me the next day. We played every minute we had free time. I had one buddy that I would always partner with, we played through the campaign on Legendary multiple times. For a few hours a day we could forget about where we were and have some type of normalcy. I lost my Halo Buddy a few years back, I haven't played Halo since.

    This was a fantastic video; I do wish that we could heard of the development history of bungie's last two halo games, odst and reach, but considering the more tumultuous and interesting portion of their time with the franchise was during the original trilogy, I am more than satisfied with the information that was given.

    Whoever edited this - I wish you could re-edit the audio for the third chapter. Cause my left ear is feeling VERY lonely whenever Adam speaks. Honestly a simple both channel to mono workaround is all it needs. Cause as it is right now it is kind of painful to listen to for 20 minutes.

      Of course it was - That much is obvious and not at all what I'm referring to.
      The re-cut of all of these three videos need homogenous sound, and it's clear that the third game clips have mic recordings that are not stereo balanced at all - which is exactly - and only what I am asking for.

      Not a cyborg. As stated in the video, the original concept for Halo was a real time strategy game with aliens, soldiers and a cyborg class. Over time, it morphed into an fps where the "cyborg" was the playable character, and no longer a cyborg at all. The Chief is "a dude in a suit like Doom guy." A genetically enhanced dude in a suit.
