- Assigned to a freighter escaping the destruction of Harvest, two Marines confiscated alien energy shields while defending passengers from an enemy boarding assault. Their heroics led to a technological breakthrough that accelerated the development of the Master Chief's defense system.

As a combat-wounded amputee, this really hit home. That was extremely touching and real. Thank you for portraying the humanity in us warriors. I’m over 30 now and have been playing/reading Halo stories since I was a kid.
EDIT, adding more detail: I lost 4 brothers in combat the day I lost my legs. I’ve said the same thing to 4 sets of parents. 343 seriously must have some amazing people on the story writing team.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service!!!
thanks for your service brother
Thank you for your brave service!
Thank you for all your sacrifices, brother.
This gives me heavy Halo 3 Believe vibes. Just like the soldiers in the museum, holding the Covenant weapons. Ya love to see it👏🏻
I was thinking the same thing
Believe
Become
That'd be the perfect ending to Halo. Instead it ending with Chief. Ending it with the Soldier at the Meusem
I was thinking the same thing! Believe.
“It’s just a game” but this honestly probably relates to veterans. This trailer is called unspoken but I am speechless
Very fitting that Veterans Day is about a week away. Either way, great video.
Everyone is mad because he's black
@@JohnDoe-bh2lp I haven't seen a single person comment on it, besides you.
@@banditaviation1924 still a very small minority, who's egos are so fickle the mere appearance of a black man will have them hiding under their bedsheets crying for mommy
@@banditaviation1924 This, kinda sad
The armor suits you... but you should never hide its mark. The armor you wear is a testament to sacrifice. From those who died during its testing to those who sacrificed to bring its components to bear...
The suit is forged from titanium... but it is tempered in blood.
The brute called it a tomb... and _he is right._ It is a tomb of unknown soldiers - a monument to hope and loss - guarded by the sentinel who resides within.
It represents all they gave and all they were. It represents what you must give... and what you must *become.*
Damn
Holy shit, well writen!
I wonder if they are gonna do one of these trailers about the poor unaugmented people that tried to test the armor... probably not.
That was brilliant written, and should be used at some point in canon, if you ask me.

It's this OC? If so, damn.
Why you got me crying like this
Grow up
Word. Think about all the gold star families that have heard something similar.
Seriously, i did not expect this video to make me emotional but here i am lmao
Its so realistic
🤣🤣🤣
An actor I don't know, playing a character I'm not familiar with, talking about a fictional marine I've never heard of just generated so much emotion. It's incredible what can be accomplished through art when you simply care about what it is you're creating.
That's what art does for me - the infinite capability to form emotion through medium is beautiful
This was a masterpiece of storytelling.
343 Went from producing 2-dimensional characters like Fireteam Osiris (minus Buck) to making us heavily feel for characters we literally just got introduced to, like the pilot of Echo 216 and this marine veteran
YEEEESSS! Thank you! As a film maker, I approve
This did a rare and special thing: it took something we take for granted in the games and gave it emotional weight. I plan to be lost in Infinite’s story, but I like to think every now and then when I hear my shields recharge I’ll take a moment in the back of my mind to think “Thanks, David.”
There’s always Hero’s in war but sometimes you have to give your life for something that’s bigger then your self. Heroes can get lost in history but your legend and courage lives on in those that knew you. Heroes do more then save people. They give us hope and courage to fight and rebuild.
bro why this comment almost make me cry. god damn.. thank you David.
Thanks David.
David Dominguez put it down. RIP compadre
Thank you David.
It puts into perspective how long it took the UNSC to develop energy shields for Spartans even with the Jackal shield technology. The date in the top right said January 17th 2526, and it wasn't really till the 2550's that Spartans got energy shields if I'm not mistaken. Yes things like the prototype suit and sabers had shields but all of that was still long after this recording.
Edit: I really love the detail that his voice is a bit robotic sounding while the program is still reconstructing his voice, and that robotic quality goes away once the reconstruction is complete.
They used the tech for Red Team's shields in Halo Wars as early as 2531. The tech wasn't fully ready until later though, that's true.
The fact that I don’t even know them… and I already care about this character and “ David “ GOOD JOB 343, the characterization is so well written, really bringing us back to the halo 3 level marketing days
David was the man!

@@chibanni14 shallow much?
Was a medic in the Army, ended up getting medically retired after getting injured while in Afghanistan. Lost brothers over there and parts of me I won't get back. Grew up playing Halo with my pops and friends. I never thought something they would make would hit this hard. Thank you for putting into words how many of us feel and showing the humanity inherent in all of us.
Till Valhalla, brother. You live on in their name.
Showed this to my friend’s dad. Who is a retired marine. He cried remembering how he had to tell his friend’s family of the sacrifice his friend made. This most definitely hits close to home for veterans
If they came out with a Halo show on Netflix I wouldn't leave the house

For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere.

Never looked at it like that. . . . . Sad how time passes

@@cryptochris9001 Congrats on being wrong.
THIS is why I always try to save marines in every game. The story is not just about super soldiers... It's about the relenting human spirits.

Same here. Even if I so much accidentally shoot a marine I reload the checkpoint.
Gotta give props to the actor. Despite not visibly speaking he sells the emotion they are trying to invoke in you.

@@RoboThePanda was going to say the same thing, his speech WAS visible. That's how sign language works
only direct translators are emotionless

That was emotional! I love it. Narratively exploring the components of Master Chiefs armor piece by piece. I am a Happy 00.
Love your in depth scientific vids bruh! From a fellow science guy himself! Keep it up!
Hello Mr.00! Just wanna say I love your videos and keep up the good work! Also what would you think of a halo game based entirely during the forrunner flood war?
if only you could find 2 marines to steal some shield tech for YOUR armor that would be sweet.
YESS
Expecting a full breakdown of the Jackel shield next
Chief is the culmination of humanity’s collective sacrifice for hope
Showed this to my 14 year old, at the end he looks at me, looking hyped, and says "are you CRYING?". I mean I am, but I don't know why. Maybe it's the music, maybe it's that I have hope for this franchise again, maybe it's because I'm recovering from a near-death car vs. pedestrian accident. All of it, probably. Cherish the good stuff, guys. You just never know.
same feels, but with my depression, really puts you in perspective and makes you realize others been through worse, veterans in the real world... survivors of pain, mind or war, we all can relate , i think thats the power of being older, mature and of loving halo.
@@marcoantoniorojasrodriguez4875 Remember, just because others have gone through worse, doesn’t mean you are not important. But don’t let those thoughts take over or believe in them. Remember God put you on this earth for a reason. To God you are someone he is proud of creating, that is why you exist, to give glory to him by living here and doing his will. And as far as those depressive thought, The Bible says to stay alert, for the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Don’t let him win. In a place where you are alone, with thanksgiving, pray to God for help and humbly repent and he promises he will answer if you believe he will do it.
Wonderful storytelling! I can't wait to see what comes next!

Same! Trailers like this are what we need to build the hype up.

To David Dominguez and Chris Preston, two that gave so much in the name of humanity; that took the Promethean's fire that helped our strongest warriors endure our darkest hour.
Everyone who worked on this video must be proud of themselves. The music, writing, acting, visuals were all solid
I'm glad that 343i is trying to show the side of a marines emotional turmoil. This feels like a true successor to bungie's halo games. Good job, 343!
What I find, bungie wrote great stories and characters and showed you the bravery of the marines so much better than in halo 4 and 5, but 343 can show you the emotional side of the lesser characters so much better than most of the major ones. This is legit why everyone loves the marines they are normal, down to earth people who went through hell for humanity
My friend when he sees them: ha ha assume rifle go brrrr
Fun fact, HALO CE was the only game bungie planned to do, so really there is no real story from original planns of bungie.
and in 343 are the same workers that were on bungie.
@@Splarkszter and on top they’re the employees of that decided that they’d wanna work on halo instead of Destiny.
Yeah gives off heavy halo 3 vibes with the marketing

Yup 343 seem to understand what us halo fans want. So excited!!!

Plot twist: It wasn’t a jackal that killed him, master chief drove off a cliff after telling him he was safe.

Damn, but this just makes me want a game where you play as normal marines trying to support master Chief like odst.
That would be sick, seeing master chief fight a brute or elite on the side while youre taking in jackals and grunts like youre a side character on dragon ball z and gokus powering up.
Well it could come true as infinite is the last mainline halo title for a while
ODSTs are hardly normal marines. They're the closest thing an adult volunteer could be a to a spartan before the Spartan-IV program.
Yeah halo needs a triple AAA story based side game. Maybe 3rd person horror style.
Feeling for characters, even if you don’t know them, is what Halo’s done so greatly in the past. This is beautiful, 343.
I love it. Every piece of Chief, from his armor, to his genetic upgrades, to his shield, is the result of humanity's toil and sacrifice to fight back the Covenant. Every single aspect of him was fuelled by humanity's strife for survival. It really makes him feel like Humanity's champion; its last hope.
Belive
Chief is the representation of humanity's will and perseverance
I'm reminded of that meme with all those bloodied WW1 soldiers holding a married couple in an idyllic field up on their shoulders
Except instead of an idyllic field it's blood gulch, and instead of a married couple it's the master chief t-bagging blue team
Never realized, that all these people gave their lives to create the ultimate Avatar of Human defiance and hope...
The Spartan IIs were originally created to fight humans. To fight against the insurrectionists who were rebelling against the Unified Earth Government. The timing was just lucky that first contact with the Covenant on Harvest happened after they were created.
I need to read the books again tbh.
Representation without it being ham-fisted. Doing it in sign language was such a good idea, I love it.
It's really not hard to have representation without being hamfisted, it's just a matter of not doing something, as well as not having an overrepresentation of what would logically exist in a situation. The sign language was a good choice for this short since it gave it a little more flavor than just a guy recording a death message in a room.
It's super ham-fisted. The marine being disabled makes no sense with the tech we see here and the tech that is Canon to the halo universe.
I can not believe that such a simple piece of promotional material delivered such a plethora of emotion that I was brought to tears. I'd thought that these stories and feelings could only move me through long and patient delivery, but the execution of this clip was so wonderfully done. I'm proud to live to see Halo become what it was to me again, and to see you all at 343 make it so. Thank you.
This didn't need to hit as hard as it did, but it did. And that performance was great.
Almost forgot that this was related to a game where I can throw a sticky bomb onto an alien and then t-bag his body.
Heh. Also bumped those likes to 117, even better.
This guy is a great actor. In less than 4 minutes you could feel what he's going through and his emotions.
Through a simultaneous but separate voice and physical performance no less.
Bravo.
And he didnt need emotion in his words to show how he was feeling
exactly what i was thinking its like he was really there
They probably casted a deaf actor for the physical performance and a voice actor that fits with him. Deaf folk communicate heavily with body language and facial expressions in addition to the sign language, so it would only be natural to cast someone that's deaf.
Actions speak louder than words.
The emotion shown in his face and with his hands deserves an accolade, I don't know who he is but I would watch anything he's in... This type of thing here is why Halo feels more than a game when it's done right!
Jamal Ajala, I believe is his name. My gf didn't recognize it as ASL, and based on what I could find of him, might be British Sign Language. He did a great job -- and hope I'm crediting correctly.
The Covenant was and remains terrifying beyond belief.
As a super soldier in a power fantasy, you don't quite understand the pure horror of facing these literal *aliens* in battle.
Sangheili (Elites) - 7 ft 4 in-8 ft 6 in. Incredibly agile bipedal reptilians with surprising strength and musculature. Their energy shields allowed them to easily reach close quarters combat with the average marine, martial arts being a style of combat the majority of their species was trained in since the day they could stand. Their four mandibles, clawed tetradactyl hands (two opposable thumbs per hand), and digitigrade legs (backwards facing knees) made them an extremely monstrous sight to behold and their lethal plasma-based weaponry very uncomfortable for humans to hold. Indigo blood.
Jiralhanae (Brutes) - 8 ft 6 in-9 ft 2 in. Extremely muscular and powerful beasts, a combination of bears, rhinos, and gorillas with even larger stature. Possibly based on the mythical giant man-eating humanoid beast, Grendel. They have evolved massive fangs and claws. Despite their primal ferocity, they can possess human-grade intelligence, allowing them to create ballistic and explosive weapons that crack bone and impale flesh. They are known to rip the severely undersized marines limb from limb and sometimes release tortured prisoners of war to chase them down in a hunt and eat them alive. Purplish-red blood.
Mgalekgolo (Hunters) - 12 ft 1 in-12 ft 3 in. Behemoth amalgamations of dozens to hundreds of dog sized alien worms. Sporting a nanolaminate (Covenant spaceship hull armor) shield the size of a man on one arm and an embedded explosive fusion gel explosive weapon on the other, even a squad of marines has little hope of taking on these walking tanks. The worst part: they always come in pairs. When one of these "bond brothers" is killed the other begins to berserk. They could flatten a human head or rib cage beneath their foot. To vocalize, the gestalt vibrates all of the worms together to create a low frequency noise that is more so felt than heard. Phosphorescent orange blood.
Yanme'e (Drones) - 5.83 ft-6.75 ft. Human-sized coleopteran (beetle-like) insects with four proportionate wings and guns. Their compound bioluminescent eyes give them incredible vision. They communicate through high-pitched clicking noises and, occasionally, through the rubbing of their wings. Often encountered in large, flying swarms, Yanme'e tended to construct massive, building sized hives on human colonies, typically underground, during a Covenant invasion, in a matter of hours. Made with a variety of materials including but not limited to mud, wood, saliva, and feces, these house a hyper-intelligent queen quite possibly the size of a truck. Yanme'e are known to fly over their enemies and pick them up with their enemies with their sharp feet or hands to either bring to their hive to be eaten alive or drop to their death. Light-green blood.
Kig-Yar (Jackals and Skirmishers) - 6 ft 2 in-6 ft 8 in. Slightly taller than the average human, these birdlike-saurian boast three diverse subspecies. Ruutian (Halo 1-3: ODST/Reach/Infinite jackals) and Ibie’shan (Halo 4-5: Guardians jackals) are the two most commonly encountered subspecies, both tending to wield large, circular, and resilient energy shield gauntlets on their wrist, though may also be encountered without the shields but with a larger plasma-based sniper weapon instead; their enhanced senses makes them frighteningly adept marksmen. These two subspecies are known to possess energy cutlasses in case an enemy gets too close. The third subspecies, T’vaoan (skirmishers) are much more agile then the former ones, allowing them to make leaps to incredible heights and sprint around their opponents quickly. Some ranks of this subspecies will possess smaller energy gauntlets on each wrist. All three are nimble and predatory. Their razor-sharp teeth and claws allow them to kill humans with ease, of which they will then devour. Light-purple blood.
Unggoy (Grunts) - The only known Covenant species that is shorter than the average human. However, they often reach the height of the typical marine. They are somewhat akin to crustaceans, sporting a rigid exoskeleton with numerous barbs and protrusions, though they also have some skin exposed. Unlike the rest of the Covenant species, they breathe methane gas instead of oxygen, so their armor includes a large backpack extending off of them to store methane that feeds into their face masks. Though typically cowardly and unthreatening alone, the Unggoy reproduce at alarming rate, with 5-12 offspring per egg clutch, each one only taking 5-8 years to reach adulthood. As a result, they are deployed in mass numbers that can quickly overwhelm even the strongest the UNSC has to offer. They are also known to be extremely violent, with the first UNSC casualty of the Human-Covenant War being Harvest militiaman who had his stomach ripped out by a paranoid Unggoy’s claws. Phosphorescent light-blue blood.
A single bolt from a plasma weapon could burn a hole through a human body if not protected by armor. Covenant ships possessed extremely durable energy shielding and several enormous energy projectors that could reduce a planet’s surface and human’s body to glass in an instant. Especially in the latter half of the war, the Covenant had an insane numerical advantage in vessels, personnel, and raw materials.

This is a really good return to Halo’s live action trailer’s it’s always been a way of telling small stories within the universe of Halo and you guys have really learned so much and I’m glad you now fully understand what makes Halo special and the fact that everyone at 343 is working so hard to get even the smallest of details right.
i’m such a sucker for their whole grey and gritty, super-serious vibe.
they’ve been at it for 20 years, and it gets me every time; has me nostalgic for the ad campaign for Halo 3 and Reach
Exactly
It's not just that it's the smaller stories but that it's the human stories. While I understand lots of people don't become invested in the universe, having this levity really is what makes this series special compared to others. The human nature of the characters is what binds not only the UNSC but the world as a whole. Having the stories that remind us what Chief is fighting for makes us want him to succeed even more.
@@vzerby
Exactly! They actually feel human and I can’t quite think about how many franchises get that right
The actors they chose, and probably the director of the shorts too, did an excellent job delivering a really emotional, heart-wrenching performance. These are really something. I know it's only halo, but these characters expertly, dramatically express the core of what they're feeling, and these are feelings we all can identify with at an almost primal level. Well done!
“Dear miss and mister (insert name), your son/daughter was melee’d in the back by the Master Chief for his sniper rifle. Give the UNSC your next born for service”

How can you miss something that wasn't ever gone? Every game in the series since Halo 3 has had these
@@ElWichox it wasnt as impactful to how it was then
@@ElWichox he's on about how it's been years since we last had one. E.g. Halo 5 was years ago. I gey what he means as the live action trailers are nostalgic as hell and bring back memories
@@ElWichox Yeah, but these are different. We haven’t had ones like this since Reach.
@@ZillennialJ Tbf Halo 5 had really good marketing as well. Hunt the Truth was awsome. It was all ruined when the actual game came out though.
This connects Halo with real military like classical Halo was.
This has to be one of the best, most emotional pieces of Halo media that there is. Well done, 343, well done.
This right here. This is why after all of these years I still love Halo.
The way they manage to create so much emotion about the death of just one marine, while the whole story is being told by an emotionless computer voice... amazing.
I really love it when they explore the 'human' side of the UNSC.
There is always an unspoken human cost in war, even in a just war like the Human Covenenant War where humanity fought to avoid extinction there was countless bloodshed and sacrifice.
This is real storytelling
The actor really carries this. Fantastic juxtaposition of the emotional expressions with the calm computer-generated voice.
I wouldn’t exactly call the voice emotionless. It carried its own.
Hunt the Truth was Amazing. H5 wasn't. I hope they carry this energy over into the game
This is why I love the Halo series. So much back story, so much detail. So much... Humanity.
You said it perfectly.
And then recent campaigns that take massive dumps on all of it.
The acting of this guy is incredible. I teared up watching his face during the story.
God the emotions in the mans face, the music and the voice combined made for a heart wrenching video that absolutely breaths the emotions of Halo, the deaths of millions of humanity, the endless sacrifices of thousands of heroes and the pain of those who survived through it all. This reminds me so much of the same heart stabbing emotions in the "Believe" series of trailers. Brovo, absolute brovo!
This is the spiritual sequel to the Halo 3 "Believe" marketing campaign, it has the same intensely personal and emotional feeling to it as those clips did all the way back in 2007.
You're doing amazing 343.
Can't believe it... They're actually giving me flashbacks of the Believe campaign.
Outstanding. The hype is real!
This is it guys. This is the final stretch until Halo Infinite's release.
But this time we're looking back into the past to see how we got here, not forward into the future to see where we're going.
As the son of a deaf father who loves halo he says he loved this and he can't wait continue the fight
This man destroyed me in his first thirty seconds on screen. Legit cried into my Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Got damn he can act!

brah chill, it's just a video game. Cry at real war stories, not this cringe corporate crap
Same I had tears on edges of my eyes as well this is what halo needs emotions not cod action
@@Eshayzbra96 What got me was that this is a fantasy story of some real life war experiences. Stuff like this happens for real, and it's a great touch to see the sides of the marines who risk their lives just as much as a Spartan Super Soldier does. It did what it needed to do, invoke emotion.
Makes me almost feel like the “Believe” trailers are back. More emotional and hyped than ever before.
this almost feels like a spiritual successor to landfall, since it shares that same theme of people sacrificing everything to make master chief just a tiny bit stronger.
This will be game of the year. WATCH
Halo gonna be too late to get nominated for GOTY canidate this year due to releasing in December and the awards show start on December 15th or 16th it will most likely get picked as a candidate next year but I doubt it will win 2022 due the huge amount of triple A titles next year
It wont. Sadly. Even then, these trailers dont resemble the game. We'll have to play first to see how good it actually is.
Doubt
GOTY awards are rigged.
@@chromtastic2092 I believe it’s actually on the 9th, the day after Infinite releases which is really unfortunate.
Taking into account that the video entry is logged on 2526 (in the early days of the covenant-human conflict), I just LOVED the little detail of the old uniform of the UNSC (Halo wars & HW 2 style) the marine is wearing!
When it said he will always be my brother, I really felt that. Just thinking about brothers arms protecting each other, and would sacrifice for the other if that is the only way.
Very touching storytelling and amazing emotional performance by the actor. It felt as if it was real, and people can better connect to a story that feels genuine.
Great marketing halo. Thank you for the feels.
This genuinely brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderfully acted short.
Thank you David. You're the reason I could beat Halo on Laso. 🙏
xD David died in vain tbh. The shields in LASO wouldnt even recharge unless you beat enemies down.
I havent felt chills like this in so long… its like welcoming an old friend.
Halo 3 Believe feels man!
I literally just kept getting chills the entire time they wouldn't stop, That was incredible.
This truly is an example of the phrase “you can’t please everyone”. @halo you would know that better than most. Y’all did a fantastic job on this trailer, it’s the perfect amount of giving fans more lore without spoiling anything plus a beautiful nod to the contents of Halsey’s Journal from over 10 years ago. The music is amazing, the acting is extremely well done, and the fact that y’all are listening to us and care about little details like this says a lot. Thank you.
What is so great about this in comparison to the old halo 3 promotionals is the fact that here Master Chief is only mentioned in writing, the true story is about the sacrifices of the marines. This is a great progression.
In the Halo 3 promotional videos, Chief is described like a god among men, the ultimate saviour, and it fits with the theme of the first trilogy, Master chief being the sole hero, someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty and risks it all in order to save humanity.
Whereas here, the marines sacrifice is highlighted ( which it was in the old videos aswell), but in a way where chief is not the sole hero, they got that tech while doing something else, it just happened to be a breakthrough, and what they really were fighting for was humanity and humans. Considering Halo 4, 5 and the overall direction 343 is taking, it seems like they want to stray away from the overglorification of Chief and show a more human side to him, his personal fight with Cortana and his struggles of emotional attachment which extends to showing the stories of marines and their hardships.
The end goal is always protecting humanity, but now it is not shown as "Finish this big fight in order to save humanity", now we see the small struggles, a detailed look at how the UNSC is fighting for humanity, and what the cost of that fight is, both for Master Chief and the marines.
Both my parents are deaf and I had to show them this trailer after i saw the signing.

For real. I've just played through both ORI games (same composer as Infinite) and the dude is SO TALENTED. I'm super excited for the OST
@@jthomas420 como se llama el compositor de halo?

@@jthomas420 gracias bro
this guy is a insane actor jeez
This is crazy, I was getting secondhand sadness just watching this guy doing sign language. His expressions really sold it. 👌 I'd love to watch a full-length movie covering the story.
This gave me the halo 3's "believe" ads vibe
I don’t know much ASL, but making the guy sign makes this so much more emotional and visceral.
I know and use ASL. Actually the actor is using what I believe is BSL (British sign language).
@@hqtwenty-one9375 What’s the difference anyway?
@@KillerOrca ASL originates from French Sign Language, and is basically an entirely separate language from BSL
It's kinda scary when Marines who you looked up to as a kid start looking like your mates, huh? You're growing up, man.
This actor is in Witcher Season 2 Episode 4! Also played someone who spoke sign language.
The talented actor, his choreography ressembling powerful dance moves, the tragic of the whole scene, the music...
Came here not ready to feel nearly as much as the pre-Halo 3 trailer.
Felt a lot anyway.
That was British Sign Language, I'm pretty sure.
@@ChoonMa Indeed
@@ChoonMa yeah Gideobvious it was well... obvious for everybody, including me. But sign language can be as stoic or as emotional (and everything in-between) as spoken language can be :) Don't go thinking now that I believe a human AI can watch a marine having a seizure and deduct from it : "this man in distress obviously is signing me his last message to his loved ones and the names of the lucky ones in his will" what would then be the point of retrieving Cortana if such an advanced, cheeky soab of an AI was common amongst the UNSC ?
@@odeon6139 true. I wasn't trying to criticize. Just provide some more insight to go along with your comment.
@@ChoonMa no worries, I wasn't on the defensive or trying to insult you but your comment was a too good of an opportunity to pass to reply :) anyway as long as we can remain amiable and civil while t-bagging the hell out of one another on the GriffBall arena it's all that matters

This trailer was touching to the point I got
goosebumps and gave me tears in my eyes.
The background music was beautiful!
Thank you for this game and the trailers, 343 Industries!!!
It is really not that often that a game makes you feel genuine emotion, in spite of what people say, but I actually welled up watching this, emotionally shattering in the best way. Well done to the team that made it.
Play the mass effecr trilogy
@@Kawasaki10rr I have played it, many times, and it’s great, not saying that emotion doesn’t happen in games, just that often in reviews and stuff, people talk about how characters and storylines gave them the feels, and then I don’t get the same experience out of them, maybe I’m made out of cement, I don’t know. I think people just sort of overplay the emotion card in games, but this moved me, and I know it’s technically not a game, it’s a promo video, but if something from the halo universe can choke me up they’re definitely doing something right.
jesus christ this is one of the best halo marketing content out there, the actor did an insane job, incredible performance! Makes me really look forward to the live action series!
Yeah this was really beautiful. Really excited to see more of these 👏

Make a video about it mate?

Halo’s storytelling has made a huge comeback recently. This is so well done.
Let's just appreciate the fact they used the correct aspect ratio
I was so confused seeing a youtube video actually go fullscreen haha
Ultra wide users stand up!

Bruh the way the digital voice stuttered like it was translating the dudes emotion alongside his words
I lost my friend this year. We first met through Halo CE. I cried watching this video thinking of him.
They’re doing something special with this Halo. It’s a culmination of everything that is Halo whilst bringing us into the future of Halo games. This is beyond exciting I feel so much joy that stems from childhood til now with all the goodness Halo has shared with me and many others through the years. It’s been a wild ride and I think that special spark Halo used to have is coming back big in December
“He loved you, he loved you till the end”
Love your parents who love you, you never know what might happen.
Great distinguisher, "who love you" well said.
as someone that suddenly lost their own dad 3 years ago, I can wholeheartdly agree.
@@4T3hM4kr0n Sorry to hear that :< losing parental figures is never easy. Luckily, both of my parents are alive and well, but I've lost both my grandfathers and one grandmother, all of whom I was very close to, so in a small way I can understand. Stay strong, be the person your dad would be proud of! ❤️
@@Phobos_Anomaly my grandfather (a pacific war veteran) also passed away about a year ago as well. So I also know what losing grandparents that you are close with feels like.
@@4T3hM4kr0n I salute your grandfather. He sacrificed a lot to serve, as all do, and I respect that.
A hero can be anyone even one Marine can make a difference
just like private jenkins in Halo 1
"One grain can tip the scales, one soldier can change the outcome ! When a man stops fleeing and turns back, victory changes sides"
Hundreds of marine made a difference in the ark, were that long term war ended
Simply perfect.
It doesn't even look like if it was a game. The way that the man is "speaking" involves you in a nostalgic environment and makes you feel his sadness and misfortune. Not to mention the background music, the narration, and that little detail like sign languague, it's really touching.
I'm really looking forward to playing this game.
I visualized both the initial charge and the medical evacuation from his gestures and expressions alone...
They can bring me to my knees emotionally and put me in tears just by having a guy tell a story in sign language.
In 2007, Bungie's Halo 3 made us BELIEVE.
In 2021 343's Halo Infinite will make us HOPE and BECOME.
BECUM
In Halo Infinite you can become (cyberpunk 2077 music)
A story of a guy who I haven’t heard of before and I was tearing up, you lot are amazing at what you do.
I've had Halo Infinite pre-ordered since the day it became available for pre-ordering. The first Halo game I played was 3, mainly cause I was too young to have experienced 1 and 2. When Halo 1 came out, I wasn't even a year old yet, and when Halo 2 came out, I was 3 years old. By the I was got into FPS games, I was around 6. Then I got my first Xbox 360, Halo 3, in 2008 and experienced Halo for the first time with Halo 3 a little under a year after it came out. While I didn't grow up playing the Halo franchise cause I didn't play Halo 1 and 2 until the MCC. However, I did spend the majority of my childhood playing Halo 3 and Halo reach.
I'm turning 21 a little after Halo Infinite releases. This is exciting for me because the Halo that I loved and experienced when I was young. Halo 3 and Reach. Halo Infinite gave me the same feeling when I played those games. To say my expectations are high for the first time in a long time for a Halo game is a nice thought.
Same i'm 21 on the month it comes out and i'm so hyped
Congrats to the actor, those facial expressions full of emotion.
I liked it, I hope this is the minimum quality that the HALO Live Action series will have.
This is pretty emotional and powerful. Halo Story Telling is back.
Hunt the Truth was easily S tier but it had nothing to do with the overall story. Back doesn't cut it, especially for marketing
@@CMTechnica Halo Infinite overall has seemed to be showing promise from what I have seen and heard from friends.
Been a Halo fan before I was 5 pretending to play while watching my dad! Now I'm 21 crazy to think how much Halo has impacted my life I remember staying the night at my best friends house playing Halo reach all night ahhh good times!!
As cringy as some people find the influence of video games on major life decisions, I know that Halo was one of the biggest inspirations for me to join the military. As a former active-duty Marine, I love seeing Marines play a stronger part in the Halo universe, so thank you 343 for your contributions in such a way. Also love that you're rethinking some of the uniforms to reflect Marine Corps traditions (like the gold chevrons with the red trim over black fabric). I hope you incorporate even more of this! Because the Marine Corps loves carrying on traditions like that, to the point that after 500 years I'm still skeptical of major uniform changes lol 😆
I also like how they used the old way of showing rank of lance corporals by having one sleeve with double chevron and the other blank as this is the old unsc before 2552
That’s what motivated me to join up as well. Influenced me to enlist. Now here I am, almost done with my first contract
The 791 dislikes are all the jackals that died in the attack
Nah, they're from all the fools in the comment section whining about "forced diversity."
That was just beautiful. The concept of being able to convert his voice from sign language. The heartbreaking and even the similarity of reality our own soldiers go through. The way you can infer how David's parents would watch and react to this. I damn near cried, and I've never cried over watching things like this.
I’m not going to lie. I haven’t felt this close to the verge of crying over something related to Halo since Cortana’s sacrifice and goodbye at the end of Halo 4. 🥺
No, I... We go together.
; :
Same!!
Easily one of, if not, the saddest death in the franchise so far.
Don't get me wrong, I love and miss Johnson dearly but... Man, Cortana's death just hits hard every time for me.
Yo, this actor was on season two of the witches, episode 4. So happy for him!
This. We need more of this. Brings more life into Halo. It’s not just about being a super soldier destroying the enemy. It’s about hero’s who sacrificed their lives to make sure humanity survived. I love this. Just like how I loved the Halo 3 Believe trailers. Become.
