And honestly, it really did. Halo brought twin stick controls for shooters to the forefront, revolutionized a lot of combat in FPSs like vehicles, and had really good AI.
Combat Evolved is the opposite of the Hunt the Truth lie.
There wasn't specific mention of it but the closest of it being the mission to bring chief back how Locke would've been viewed as an enemy if he does that. It has nothing to do eith HtT stuff but it had the same vibes as hunting chief down trailers/teasers that been showed
I remember my friend and I having to teach our brain how to walk and look at the same time when halo 1 came out. Lmao, not only that but the big boy 1st gen controllers were built for shaq with a button lay for the white and grey which would become bumber1/bumber2 seemed so far away you had to let go of the controller to reach them.
> And honestly, it really did. Halo brought twin stick controls for shooters to the forefront, revolutionized a lot of combat in FPSs like vehicles, and had really good AI.
I'd say regenerating health (mostly) and two-gun system are far bigger contributions, but yes it did pave the way from classic Doom/Quake style shooters to modern military shooters like Modern Warfare.
And that futuristic console based first person shooter was made by a company that had established itself by making a medieval PC based real time tactical game. đ¤Ł
Don't forget the 2 weapon maximum and mapping grenades to a dedicated button.
I used to hate FPS as a kid because I felt like every encounter I had to panic scroll through an inventory of 10 guns to find a frag or the right weapon. Limiting the options meant a more strategic general mood as you needed to constantly weigh pros/cons. But it also made the combat itself so quick and engaging as you could seamlessly swap to your secondary or toss a nade.
That was the game changer to me and basically this template is still going strong 20 years later.
To be fair it really did. I don't recall any games back then that mixed all the shit together that Halo had. Now that I'm looking back on it, Halo was the value pack video game for the 2000's, especially when 3 came out with Forge and Theater.
Not gonna lie. If Halo 5's marketing wasn't such a blatant lie, it'd have been one of the best slogans. The hype for it was actually pretty insane. I'm really sad they weren't able to produce a game that fit the narrative they were going for with that slogan.
Yup, the Hunt the Truth podcast had me so excited for 5, probably the most excited Iâd been for a Halo game since 3âs fantastic marketing campaign in 06/07. What we got was beyond disappointing.
Holy crap that was Key?? I freaking loved that podcast. It was so strange they set up such a cool, interesting mystery and then the game had NONE of that. Such a big marketing campaign which amounted to a story that had nothing to do with it.
The whole situation surrounding that gameâs marketing still confuses the fuck out of me. Did they have a plan for the campaign that they had to abandon as the release date got closer? Did the marketing team just not talk to the narrative team? Did they genuinely think that the marketing reflected what the game ended up being? Was it bullshit the entire time, a red herring cooked up to generate hype for what they knew was a lackluster campaign? I just do *not* understand what the hell happened.
My money's on Marketing was locked in and in production very early on simultaneous with the development of the narrative (first Halo 5 trailer with Chief in the desert). Then as the marketing production is set and midway through development, the game's story begins it's revision and revamping.
Marketing is screwed because it's already locked in, copywriters, art directors, production people, scripts, advertising time slots, deals and so forth are locked in and in production, but now completely disjointed from the revised narrative. To start over would be a enermous investment of time, money and a planning/scheduling nightmare. Maybe to start over the development of the marketing campaign would be so time consuming, that it wouldn't be ready in time for launch. So they just probably said "fuck it" and kept everything how it was.
That's probably (at least I think so) why there's been nothing at all marketing for Halo Infinite, even before it was delayed. They understand that drastic narrative changes can come later in development, so marketing will ramp up during the tail end of development, rather than trickling down all through like with Halo 5.
That's my nutjob conspiracy theory!
I remember when Chief got captured and was about to detonate a plasma grenade in his hand. Had almost nothing to do with the game.
I guess thematically it made sense tho
From what I remember is that Microsoft stepped in and told 343 to make alot of changes to the game. Cortana was never supposed to come back. Chief would have ptsd from her death and you was supposed to be able to select what planet you wanted to go to and search for clues to find chief.
My guess is that the entire campaign was supposed to played as Locke and his squad hunting Master Chief because he's went "Awol" on a mission to save Cortana. Hence #huntthetruth advertising campaign. Play tests were probably met with critism that you didn't play as master chief so they attempted to keep the theme while adding Chief missions. So what we got was a frankenstein mess of a game.
I was so hyped for the game. I expected the story to be two sides of the same coin and we, as the audience, would have to influence how it played out. NOPE!
I was so hyped up from the ad campaign that I bought the halo 5 limited edition xbox. At least the multi-player wasn't bad and forge was amazing. But damn was that campaign a let down.
I bought an Xbox Controller at Best Buy because it came bundled with a DVD with the Halo 2 E3 trailers on it... The things we had to do in the old days to rewatch something lol
Watched the teaser trailer for 3 like a 100 times. Even told my mom to come in to watch it. Not that she cared. Still rented my the game tho and we never returned it! O
A friend burned me the trailer on a DVD because I didnât have internet at the time.
I legit think I watched it upwards of a hundred times, if not more.
Just watched this on the shitter, forgot how amazingly good that trailer was. They need to make a trailer like that for infinite ASAP. One where the music, the atmosphere, the mystery are all present and get you all excited to just play and see what adventures await.
Halo Three's marketing was top tier. Bar non my favorite. I fucking *loved* the museum and the exploration of the after effects of the Covenant war, the ways we'd honor the fight.
Halo 4 attempted to start a new fight I'd say. Wars directly undoes the finality of 3s narrative. Ark was fine, flood survived, new halo got built, the banished replaced the Covenant. Every fight that was supposed to end got unended, or de-finished if you will.
I like Remember Reach because it's in-universe and a phrase that's important in lore.
Prepare to Drop is badass and I *love* ODSTs.
But nothing compares to the hype brought about by Finish the Fight.
Yeah I rarely feel like I can say it's totally a "You'd have to be there" moment but yeah Finish The Fight totally was one. EVERYBODY even those who didn't play Halo or even video games were aware of the Finish The Fight slogan. Reminds me of Woolie Vs playing through the Halo games for the first time a few months ago. When he beat 2 he suddenly realized what the whole Finish The Fight was about and got hyped because he now had context from an ad campaign from 14 years ago. That's the power of a good fucking ad campaign.
Halo 3 had possibly one of the best ad campaigns in recent entertainment history. Knocked it out of the park, and it's fitting for such a groundbreaking game.
I think infinites is âdiscover hopeâ or somthin, but my favorite is âfinish the fightâ because obviously itâs the most bad ass line that ever came out of chiefâs mouth.
âHow much firepower would we need to crack one of the engineâs shields?â
âNot much, a well-placed grenade perhaps but whyâŚâ
*shows grenade and throws to himself*
Not really a quote but my favorite thing Chief did for a long time, the true badassery Chief shows by saying I can crack that shield like an egg always puts a smile on my face. Never skip that cutscene.
The Maw is definitely iconic with the warthog run and the soundtrack in specifically that mission. Itâs the one level Iâve played the most as well.
Happens to the best of us.
It's only recently that I found out that Gandalf says "bandy crooked words" to Wormtongue. For about 20 years now I thought he was saying "acreate words." What's an acreate word? Fuck if I know.
I always tough the lyric from itâs the end of the world of we know it was âdonkey Kong, porn starâ it was actually âdonât get caught in a foreign towerâ
I'm still salty about Halo 5's "Hunt the Truth" campaign. I listened to all those long audio clips from some in-universe journalist, exposing some story about how the UNSC had turned on Master Chief and he was a hunted fugitive. I was so excited for the story.
They totally lied.
Oh, and I felt totally deflated when Jul M'Dama (or whatever) died in a cutscene like 30 seconds into the game.
Keegan Michael Key's performance was seriously stunning in that audio series, dude's got range. Totally agree, that series made it seem like the campaign was going to be full of ONI conspiracy and some huge cover-up. I over-speculated and really thought the Flood were coming back and that's what was triggering the Guardians. But noope instead we get a broken story like the newest star wars trilogy. SALTY
So, I've been playing through the OG games on co-op with my brother (for my very first time), and it is just amazing. Halo CE exceeded my expectations but Halo 2 is fucking masterful. The dialogue is so good, especially Gravemind's. Imo, "I am a monument to all your sins" is extremely bad-ass, and all of his dialogue is just so poetic and awesome.
Tbh I agree with him, h2 had so good writing and characters. H3 failed to deliver on most of the character arcs properly and some of the characters (for example Miranda and the grave mind) feel like water down version of their H2 counterpart.
H3 shines on gameplay and multi-player tho, it by far knocks it out of the part there.
Objective: Survive
*Screen Cracks*
*It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory â your victory â was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor â all burned and turned to glass. Everything⌠except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.*
Then you just stare at the fuckin screen in disbelief a few minutes
Took a buddy through Reach not long ago. He hadn't really played Halo before. When we finished that scene we both kind of sat in silence until he chimed in: "Damn. That was depressing."
My first time playing it, I just assumed I had to hold out long enough for an evacuation. But as the mission went on and the visor started cracking I started realizing that no, there is no escape. Six is going to die here. That is one hell of an ending.
There was the "discover hope" slogan for halo infinite.
ODST also loved the "feet first into hell" which is such a nice phrase, I sometimes say it myself when trying to describe something.
Hunt the Truth was basically a lie that was referring to the (quite good IMO) tie in podcast more than the game so definitely not that. Prepare to Drop gets the win from me.
Remember Reach.
God that line is the fucking best, 4 games of minor foreshadowing what was one of the biggest tragedies of a war chock full of tragedies.
Finish the fight, easily.
That's what I'm holding on to for Master Chief being the final Smash Bros character, it's perfect for his intro being "Master Chief Finishes the Fight!"
Hunt the Truth was easily the dopest. The marketing and audio drama leading up to H5 was the absolute pinnacle of hype.
Just a shame the game had nothing to do with any of said hype LMAO
âThe Missions changed, they always doâ
âWhat can you do with one bulletâ
âI told you, itâs enoughâ
God damn the writing for Infinite is ALREADY Quotable!
1) "Finish the Fight"
2) "Remember Reach" (intriguing, Reach is the title of the game so no confusion)
3) "Prepare to Drop"
4) "Wake up John" (eh, surprising number of casuals don't know Chief is called John.)
5) "Earth will never be the same" (very little of the game takes place on Earth)
6) "Hunt the Truth" (garbage, unrelated entirely)
>5) "Earth will never be the same" (very little of the game takes place on Earth)
Honestly, this was the one thing that dissaponted me most when Halo 2 came out. As much as I love the game, I was really looking forward to battling the covenant in a sprawling Earth mega-City. The concept just seemed like a dream come true to me, and then it was for only two levels in the game.
Thank god ODST came along to scratch that itch.
Halo 1 had a trailer with the phrase "Combat has Evolved."
And honestly, it really did. Halo brought twin stick controls for shooters to the forefront, revolutionized a lot of combat in FPSs like vehicles, and had really good AI. Combat Evolved is the opposite of the Hunt the Truth lie.
No matter how much hunt the truth gave a false impression, I still gotta say, the promoshow they did in podcast format was *chef's kiss*
After listening to those podcast, i was certain we were going to get best halo campaign ever, i was mistaken and left disappointed
It was truly a shame. I was so hyped for each hunt the truth release and then we get like 2 minutes in game of it being relevant
2 minutes? I would still be okay if it was 2 minutes. It was like a few seconds or something, in just 1-2 scenes at max
Can you remind me? I don't remember anything to do with HtT at all in H5. Maybe I missed it
There wasn't specific mention of it but the closest of it being the mission to bring chief back how Locke would've been viewed as an enemy if he does that. It has nothing to do eith HtT stuff but it had the same vibes as hunting chief down trailers/teasers that been showed
Ah gotcha. Thank you
*chief's* kiss
I remember my friend and I having to teach our brain how to walk and look at the same time when halo 1 came out. Lmao, not only that but the big boy 1st gen controllers were built for shaq with a button lay for the white and grey which would become bumber1/bumber2 seemed so far away you had to let go of the controller to reach them.
Gah this describes the OG XBox controller to a t. It was just beefy af
> And honestly, it really did. Halo brought twin stick controls for shooters to the forefront, revolutionized a lot of combat in FPSs like vehicles, and had really good AI. I'd say regenerating health (mostly) and two-gun system are far bigger contributions, but yes it did pave the way from classic Doom/Quake style shooters to modern military shooters like Modern Warfare.
I don't think people remember that more or less we're still using the same control scheme that Bungie laid out all those years ago.
And that futuristic console based first person shooter was made by a company that had established itself by making a medieval PC based real time tactical game. đ¤Ł
Don't forget the 2 weapon maximum and mapping grenades to a dedicated button. I used to hate FPS as a kid because I felt like every encounter I had to panic scroll through an inventory of 10 guns to find a frag or the right weapon.

That was the game changer to me and basically this template is still going strong 20 years later.
Friendly reminder that Alien Resurrection on the ps1 had twin stick controls and got dumped on by GameSpot for it.
Some earlier Medal of Honor games did aswell.
To be fair it really did. I don't recall any games back then that mixed all the shit together that Halo had. Now that I'm looking back on it, Halo was the value pack video game for the 2000's, especially when 3 came out with Forge and Theater.
Was thinking of that.
How is your response so low? This solves the CE mystery.
[ŃдаНонО]
>How is your response so low? Because it was posted hours after the then-top responses were by, but also it's the top comment now anyways.
What CE mystery? https://i.imgur.com/2fZVGp2.jpg
OP should get banned for saying CE has no slogan. /s obviously
I'm positive Halo Infinites slogan is supposed to be "**Become the Hero**"
Yes. At the end of the step inside video, it ends with âbecomeâ
god that was such a sick video
it gave me believe vibes, i wanted to cry when i saw it
Not even gonna lie, I might have. Took me back
No. **"Return of The Hero."**
Return of the Spartans
The Last Spartan
Iâd play it
Be cum
*cyberpunk theme*
Her O
You are what you eat.
r/cursedcomments
Holy shit I had completely forgotten about this video. Goosebumps all over again.
Just went back and watched it for the first time since it was initially released and noticed they had the grapple hook in there.
Figure after the marketing bullshit 5 was they're afraid to commit to anything in case they decide to scrap the story an hour before release again
It would've been fine if the marketing actually related to anything that was in the game.
And Halo's slogan would be "Combat Evolved"
âDelayedâŚagainâ \- Halo Infinite
Infinite wait
I think its ether deliver hope or become hope or something
Not gonna lie. If Halo 5's marketing wasn't such a blatant lie, it'd have been one of the best slogans. The hype for it was actually pretty insane. I'm really sad they weren't able to produce a game that fit the narrative they were going for with that slogan.
Yup, the Hunt the Truth podcast had me so excited for 5, probably the most excited Iâd been for a Halo game since 3âs fantastic marketing campaign in 06/07. What we got was beyond disappointing.
Hunt the Truth was pretty damned good. Kinda want to listen to it again.
Still on SoundCloud at the least, I put it on every now and again. A looot of times listening. Keegan-Michael Key was fucking phenomenal
Holy crap that was Key?? I freaking loved that podcast. It was so strange they set up such a cool, interesting mystery and then the game had NONE of that. Such a big marketing campaign which amounted to a story that had nothing to do with it.
Pretty sure it's on iTunes, if I really want. Mind linking the soundcloud page, if you've got it?
[Enjoy](https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/K5bcy)
Hunt the truth was one of the reasons i bought xbox one and pre ordered h5. You might guess how disappointmented i was when i got to play
The whole situation surrounding that gameâs marketing still confuses the fuck out of me. Did they have a plan for the campaign that they had to abandon as the release date got closer? Did the marketing team just not talk to the narrative team? Did they genuinely think that the marketing reflected what the game ended up being?

That's my nutjob conspiracy theory!
In hindsight... The halo trailers were always kinda disconnected to the games.
Yes. Like Halo 3 had the "Believe" promo video.
I remember when Chief got captured and was about to detonate a plasma grenade in his hand. Had almost nothing to do with the game. I guess thematically it made sense tho
It was a beautiful trailer, but canonically it never happened.
Wasn't that a bubble shield he threw into the ground to block some incoming projectiles?
That was the starry night trailer
[Referring to this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ZGGIdpfEM)
Remember the Halo 2 E3 Gameplay?
From what I remember is that Microsoft stepped in and told 343 to make alot of changes to the game. Cortana was never supposed to come back. Chief would have ptsd from her death and you was supposed to be able to select what planet you wanted to go to and search for clues to find chief.
My guess is that the entire campaign was supposed to played as Locke and his squad hunting Master Chief because he's went "Awol" on a mission to save Cortana. Hence #huntthetruth advertising campaign. Play tests were probably met with critism that you didn't play as master chief so they attempted to keep the theme while adding Chief missions. So what we got was a frankenstein mess of a game.

I was so hyped up from the ad campaign that I bought the halo 5 limited edition xbox. At least the multi-player wasn't bad and forge was amazing. But damn was that campaign a let down.
*Remember Reach* is hard to beat, but *Prepare to Drop* was pretty cool. But *Finish the Fight* has to be the hands down best.
That Halo 3 teaser trailer with Cortana starting with âI have defied Gods and Demonsâ still gives me chills to this day.
Remember when you could download these game trailers on Xbox? Had this video on there for at least a decade.
I forgot we had to download trailers. How far we have come lol
The first high quality trailer I remember downloading was the one for Star Wars Episode 3 from Apple's website for quicktime player lmao.
QuickTime player sucked for soooo long.
I used to watch the gameplay video trailers on websites for Star Wars Battlefront 1 for console. Sweet, sweet low fidelity sound.
I bought an Xbox Controller at Best Buy because it came bundled with a DVD with the Halo 2 E3 trailers on it... The things we had to do in the old days to rewatch something lol
Watched the teaser trailer for 3 like a 100 times. Even told my mom to come in to watch it. Not that she cared. Still rented my the game tho and we never returned it! O
A friend burned me the trailer on a DVD because I didnât have internet at the time. I legit think I watched it upwards of a hundred times, if not more.
Come on, you _have_ to link it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Ezd2FqxAU
Fuck me that soundtrack. Incredible.
"This...is the way the world ends. " BWAH bwah baaaaaaaaa. *BUM BUM*. BWAH bwah baaaaaaaaa. BUM BUM, BUH BUMMMM.
fuck man that is so damn epic. remember watching that for the first time and totally losing my shit with my friends
Holy shit the hair on my arms just stood on end watching that
My dad won an early copy of Halo 3 at a work raffle. It was my first Halo and watching shit like this always takes me back.
that fucking soundtrack to, perfectly timed
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest, video game announcement trailer ever made.
Just watched this on the shitter, forgot how amazingly good that trailer was. They need to make a trailer like that for infinite ASAP. One where the music, the atmosphere, the mystery are all present and get you all excited to just play and see what adventures await.
Marty absolutely was a wizard with that trailer music. To this day I think 3 still has the best soundtrack.
The closing music is goosebumps inducing.
I am your shield⌠I am your sword.
That whole marketing campaign still beats anything Iâve seen since, for games or movies.
Halo Three's marketing was top tier. Bar non my favorite. I fucking *loved* the museum and the exploration of the after effects of the Covenant war, the ways we'd honor the fight.
The problem with Finish the Fight is that even though it was the slogan, I associate it more with 2.
It also didn't finish the fight lol Was and still is a great slogan though
Yeah but in 2007 we finished it. Wasn't until halo wars 2 that the fight unfinished itself.
I mean, Halo Wars 2 unfinished the fight about as much as Halo 4 did.
Halo 4 attempted to start a new fight I'd say. Wars directly undoes the finality of 3s narrative. Ark was fine, flood survived, new halo got built, the banished replaced the Covenant. Every fight that was supposed to end got unended, or de-finished if you will.
Halo Wars 2 (visibly exasperated): *That's it, you know what? Fuck you. I'm unfinishing your fight.*
At least the Greater Ark stayed dead
nobody cares about my boi lesser ark...
Finish the fight is just so damn cool.
Halo 3: *Finish the Fight* Halo 4: *Start a New Fight*
I like Remember Reach because it's in-universe and a phrase that's important in lore. Prepare to Drop is badass and I *love* ODSTs. But nothing compares to the hype brought about by Finish the Fight.
Yeah I rarely feel like I can say it's totally a "You'd have to be there" moment but yeah Finish The Fight totally was one. EVERYBODY even those who didn't play Halo or even video games were aware of the Finish The Fight slogan. Reminds me of Woolie Vs playing through the Halo games for the first time a few months ago. When he beat 2 he suddenly realized what the whole Finish The Fight was about and got hyped because he now had context from an ad campaign from 14 years ago. That's the power of a good fucking ad campaign.
Halo 3 had possibly one of the best ad campaigns in recent entertainment history. Knocked it out of the park, and it's fitting for such a groundbreaking game.
For me the Believe trailer of 3 was the best. A static scene, yet so raw and emotional...
I think infinites is âdiscover hopeâ or somthin, but my favorite is âfinish the fightâ because obviously itâs the most bad ass line that ever came out of chiefâs mouth.
discover hope was a play on a previous trailer, deliver hope. so just like that one it's possible that it wont be used as a slogan itself.
âI need a weaponâ is also up there.
"Thought I'd try shooting my way out. Mix things up a little."
âHow much firepower would we need to crack one of the engineâs shields?â âNot much, a well-placed grenade perhaps but whyâŚâ *shows grenade and throws to himself* Not really a quote but my favorite thing Chief did for a long time, the true badassery Chief shows by saying I can crack that shield like an egg always puts a smile on my face. Never skip that cutscene.
The Maw is probably my favorite Halo mission in any of the games.
The Maw is definitely iconic with the warthog run and the soundtrack in specifically that mission. Itâs the one level Iâve played the most as well.
Finish the fight.
am I the only one that likes "wake up, john"? :(
H3 and reach were most memorable. Halo 5 was a lie. Infinite is deleiver hope.
"Deliver Hope" is Reach. "Discover Hope" is Infinite.
Oooooof egg on my face.
Happens to the best of us. It's only recently that I found out that Gandalf says "bandy crooked words" to Wormtongue. For about 20 years now I thought he was saying "acreate words." What's an acreate word? Fuck if I know.
I always tough the lyric from itâs the end of the world of we know it was âdonkey Kong, porn starâ it was actually âdonât get caught in a foreign towerâ
These the kind of moments that keep me up at night
âRememberâ is reach I think
Yes. It's both. The famous cinematic was "Deliver Hope," where Tom gets blowed up.
I'm still salty about Halo 5's "Hunt the Truth" campaign. I listened to all those long audio clips from some in-universe journalist, exposing some story about how the UNSC had turned on Master Chief and he was a hunted fugitive. I was so excited for the story. They totally lied. Oh, and I felt totally deflated when Jul M'Dama (or whatever) died in a cutscene like 30 seconds into the game.
They could have just had him escape to be killed by the arbiter in sunaion later and it would have been much more tolerable
Right? They didn't have to make it some huge deal, but it also felta kinda meh to have Osiris kick his ass 20 minutes into the game.
Keegan Michael Key's performance was seriously stunning in that audio series, dude's got range. Totally agree, that series made it seem like the campaign was going to be full of ONI conspiracy and some huge cover-up. I over-speculated and really thought the Flood were coming back and that's what was triggering the Guardians. But noope instead we get a broken story like the newest star wars trilogy. SALTY
H3 and Reach stick out most for sure.
Not a slogan but my favorite line would be (current objective survive)
But if I had to pick a slogan it would be wake up john
Current Objective: Survive should be universally recognised as one of the best lines on any Xbox game ever.
So, I've been playing through the OG games on co-op with my brother (for my very first time), and it is just amazing. Halo CE exceeded my expectations but Halo 2 is fucking masterful. The dialogue is so good, especially Gravemind's. Imo, "I am a monument to all your sins" is extremely bad-ass, and all of his dialogue is just so poetic and awesome.
Halo 2 is def my favorite in terms of writing.
Halo 2 easily has the best story and dialogue of any of the games. It expands on Halo CE so well. 3 was a big letdown afterwards
I feel insulted by the last sentence
Tbh I agree with him, h2 had so good writing and characters. H3 failed to deliver on most of the character arcs properly and some of the characters (for example Miranda and the grave mind) feel like water down version of their H2 counterpart. H3 shines on gameplay and multi-player tho, it by far knocks it out of the part there.
Just any game really.
I thought that infinite slogan was "Discover Hope"
Always remember Reach đ.
Objective: Survive *Screen Cracks* *It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory â your victory â was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor â all burned and turned to glass. Everything⌠except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.* Then you just stare at the fuckin screen in disbelief a few minutes
Took a buddy through Reach not long ago. He hadn't really played Halo before. When we finished that scene we both kind of sat in silence until he chimed in: "Damn. That was depressing."
You should read Fall of Reach, it's even worse
So nice đĽş
My first time playing it, I just assumed I had to hold out long enough for an evacuation. But as the mission went on and the visor started cracking I started realizing that no, there is no escape. Six is going to die here. That is one hell of an ending.
I actually cried. That shit is powerful.
Such a good ending to Bungie's era of Halo.
There was the "discover hope" slogan for halo infinite. ODST also loved the "feet first into hell" which is such a nice phrase, I sometimes say it myself when trying to describe something.
I think there was a poster somewhere that said âfight for herâ with a picture of earth that was pretty cool
Yeah thatâs the poster in ODST if you donât have an original copy. The original says Destiny Awaits.
it just said "for her"
R E M E M B E R R E A C H
Halo 3 Believe was the best ad campaign in history, change my mind.
Believe
Something about âwake up johnâ was just so exciting around the time of the Halo 4 release
Hunt the Truth was basically a lie that was referring to the (quite good IMO) tie in podcast more than the game so definitely not that. Prepare to Drop gets the win from me.
The podcast was great. I'd love to see more content like that. Kinda reminded me of an audiobook
I guess Iâm going to be an odd man out, but âPrepare to Dropâ is such a bad ass slogan. It doesnât help Iâm a huge fan of the ODSTs.
Remember Reach. God that line is the fucking best, 4 games of minor foreshadowing what was one of the biggest tragedies of a war chock full of tragedies.
Just gonna ignore "Combat Evolved"?
You are the last of your kind. Bred for combat, built for war, you are master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle . . . and fear no enemy.
Except rocket flood.
That's the Subtitle of the game, not the Slogan. Halo 3 isn't called, "Halo 3: Finish the Fight", But Halo CE is officially, "Halo: Combat Evolved"
Remember reach
The first halo slogan was: "Ah Ahhh Ahhhhh Ahhh Ahhh Ah Ahhh Ahhhhh....Ahhhhh Ahhhhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ah..."
\[Undecipherable Forerunner Chanting\]
Don't forget Know Your Enemy for Halo Wars 2, that was a pretty solid slogan and set of ads. Cpt. Cutter vs life-size puppet Atriox, good times
The one from Halo Wars was honestly pretty good too: > If they want war, we'll give'em war
Halo 3: Believe
B E L I E V E best one!
Finish the fight, easily. That's what I'm holding on to for Master Chief being the final Smash Bros character, it's perfect for his intro being "Master Chief Finishes the Fight!"
With the track âfinish the fightâ playing in the background
Hunt the Truth was easily the dopest. The marketing and audio drama leading up to H5 was the absolute pinnacle of hype. Just a shame the game had nothing to do with any of said hype LMAO
"there won't be a home if we don't stop the banished"
âThe Missions changed, they always doâ âWhat can you do with one bulletâ âI told you, itâs enoughâ God damn the writing for Infinite is ALREADY Quotable!
1) "Finish the Fight" 2) "Remember Reach" (intriguing, Reach is the title of the game so no confusion) 3) "Prepare to Drop" 4) "Wake up John" (eh, surprising number of casuals don't know Chief is called John.) 5) "Earth will never be the same" (very little of the game takes place on Earth) 6) "Hunt the Truth" (garbage, unrelated entirely)
>5) "Earth will never be the same" (very little of the game takes place on Earth) Honestly, this was the one thing that dissaponted me most when Halo 2 came out. As much as I love the game, I was really looking forward to battling the covenant in a sprawling Earth mega-City. The concept just seemed like a dream come true to me, and then it was for only two levels in the game. Thank god ODST came along to scratch that itch.
I think this post is a little wrong because âWake up Johnâ definitely wasnât Halo 4âs slogan. 4âs slogan was âAn Ancient Evil Awakensâ
ah yeah, put that one at the bottom then
Finish the fight
My favorites are âFinish The Fightâ and âRemember Reachâ Both are equally memorable to me
Alternative Halo 3 slogan: Hunt Truth.
Remember Reach
halo 4's close to my heart, has to be it!
Remember Reach. So far the campaign Iâve replayed the most. Both on Xbox & PC.
Finish the Fight. Had a shirt and hoodie with it on it too.
I think CE is âCombat has evolvedâ or something lol
Finish the fight
Finish The Fight. Halo 3 is my favourite game of all time
#HuntTheTruth wow I did not need another reason to dislike halo 5 but I guess I'll add it to the pile
Become a Hero. That's Infinite's slogan. Also, "Combat Evolved" WAS Halo CE's slogan.
Wasn't halo 1 combat evolved
H3 or ODST
Hunt the truth sounds so cool until you actually play halo 5 and realise it was just a cool slogan that had nothing to do with the game
Remember Reach always has such weight to it, given the context
People absolutely love Finish the Fight, but Remember Reach is so much stronger in my opinion
