Halo - Covenant Dance

[Nilamo]

I really doubt 343 will be able to top anything marty has created. The music that they have incorporated in the halo 4 interview video sounds really generic to be honest.

[optimusrocks1]

EXCELLENT

[Cakeries]

goes through automatic door, goes up hallway, "Shit it's red" turns around, all the marines are dead. Story of this level.

[halofernandez0029]

My favorite part begins at 0:53.

[thesmartest96]

@halofernandez0029 Me too !

[ShadowandKirby324]

I luv this song and game. So beast and epic and I still have it.

[DunkleMaterie117]

I see Brutes, Elites, Shakals and Grunts dancing to this. ^^

[PackHunter117]

@DunkleMaterie117 Jackals. Not Shakals.

[RXCfreak]

Halo was and still is the only game with a soundtrack that makes me want to re experience the campaign all over again .

[thesmartest96]

0:52 Epic !

[GuardianOfNonE]

@thesmartest96 Agreed. It's amazing how the transition is so sudden and so stark, yet so fluid. I swear my heart skips a beat every time I listen to it.

[thesmartest96]

@GuardianOfNonE Yeah, it is just unreal... I ain't even sure if humans made this, or probably a genius. This song is just so amazing, it is UNBELIVEABLE ! <3

[GuardianOfNonE]

@thesmartest96 I'm pretty sure the Prophets used to broadcast this to the lesser races of the Covenant (probably in conjunction with some type of hallucinogenic gas filtered throughout High Charity). After hearing it, I guarantee that the masses would believe ANYTHING the Prophets say. XD

[thesmartest96]

@GuardianOfNonE Grunts are just stupid. No need for a good song to drug their ears ^^

[GuardianOfNonE]

@thesmartest96 Ah, but the question is... Do the song's effects MAKE them stupid? o_o

[Cbridge1998]

covenant dance... i can just imagine an elite doing the hula, and a grunt doing the thrust to this song

[thesmartest96]

Chuck Norris invented that soundtrack !

[Cbridge1998]

there must be a longer version of this! i am making a short film this song is perfect!

[hellyeah879]

I LOVE HALO

[tokmak333]

I see Dislike Trolls in here

[hippoberries]

lol makes me think of a elite in a too too

[auju123]

Yes.

[allandabid]

I prefer Halo 2's soundtrack, to be honest.

For my opinion; Halo 2 was the best game out of all of them.

The story, features, weapons, etc.

My gosh, it brings back memories (:

[AlexLong1000]

@allandabid In my opinion, Halo Reach was the best in the series. Probably gonna get some hate for that, but yeah.

But the Halo 2 soundtrack was my favourite.

[allandabid]

@AlexLong1000 Nah, don't worry about it.

[PackHunter117]

@AlexLong1000 Too me Halo Anniversary or Halo CE and Reach are the best until Halo 4 comes out.

[AlexLong1000]

@PackHunter117 Well, Bungie aren't making Halo 4, so it could either be really good, or suck. It better not suck.

[RobertCamaroZ28]

@AlexLong1000 343i is comprised mainly of former Bungie employees who previously worked on Halo.

[AlexLong1000]

@RobertCamaroZ28 Really? I didn't know that, that's AWESOME! :D

[MystyrNile]

@AlexLong1000 I'm actually not sure that's true; if I recall correctly, there are [i]some[/i] guys from Bungie in 343i, and I think that some of them have fairly high-up positions, but like I said, I'm not certain.

[AlexLong1000]

@MystyrNile Yeah, I know, but the guy I was replying to said that Activision and Bungie were making Halo 4. Like, the full Bungie team...

[ravenholm33]

@AlexLong1000 bungie teamed up with activision so activision put it under there name bungie is still part of it

[AlexLong1000]

@ravenholm33 .....no. 343 Industries is making Halo 4. Not Bungie. Not Activision. 343 Industries.

Please do your research.

[Spartain1998]

@AlexLong1000 CORRECT you win some cake!!!

[Mr27s]

@AlexLong1000 I think what confused them was that Bungie gave Activison the rights to publish their future titles.

[Deadindex]

@AlexLong1000 Though many of the old employees at Bungie started working for 343 Industries and people in the 343 Industries have also worked with Halo: Legends and or they have been in cooperation with Bungie in the developement of the earlier installations to the franchise.

[AlexLong1000]

@Deadindex I. Know. I already talked about this.

[AngryBear360]

@AlexLong1000 maybee 343 industries will have enough of a brain to make it for PC too

[PatrickMichaelsen]

@AngryBear360 If anything at all, that is Microsoft's decision.

[dragon2060]

@AlexLong1000 i believe their working together to make it

[PatrickMichaelsen]

@AlexLong1000 To clarify, 343 is developing the game, Microsoft is producing it. Bungie and Activision are not involved at all.

[DynastyCloudVII]

@ravenholm33 I don't know where you heard that but it's obviously untrue. Bungie Left microsoft and is now with Activision. Microsoft owns everything Halo, Bungie owns nothing. Therefore Bungie is no longer affiliated with Halo. However Microsoft created 343 Industries, which contains fresh developers and developers who left bungie.

[PcOGEARS]

remember halo 1 for xbox jjjajajaja ten years

[wattosacrim]

marine: What theres no covenant here? i think maybe nobodies home...

-elite appears and roars killing stacker-

marine2: No covenant -.- you had to open your mouth

[alajeff]

@wattosacrim That is awesome!

[wattosacrim]

@alajeff sure is, and its hard to save the marines on legendary in that part haha.

[roboguy75]

@wattosacrim I fucking loved those lines XD

[wattosacrim]

@roboguy75 hahaha shit yeah, the funny thing about marines in halo is they top marines in any other game with their humour!

[roboguy75]

@wattosacrim another favorite of mine

Why do we have to listen to this old stuff searge?

-Watch your mouth son, this stuff is your history, it should be reminding you what we're fighting to protect.

[wattosacrim]

@roboguy75 good times

[ChiefandSamus]

@wattosacrim stackers not dead he was just really, really hurt almost died

[wattosacrim]

@ChiefandSamus nah, that was in the novel, Parker was wounded by a hunters spike but takes the characteristics of stacker, stacker has actually survived all of the halo's along with dubbo yet his name is never mentioned once.

[xXxV3RiAxXx]

@wattosacrim thats what i dont understand about halo 1! u can kill stacker and jhonson and now there in halo 2 and 3! rofl

[wattosacrim]

@xXxV3RiAxXx non canon stuff haha!

[lennon98williams]

why is there dislikes :-)

[horakoeri]

@lennon98williams because CoD excists D:>

[Dreadedaries]

"nods head and clenches teeh"

[rosabella22391]

THUMBS UP if this song brings back memories of the GOLDEN COMMANDER ELITE ON ASSAULT ON THE CONTROL ROOM WITH A PLASMA SWORD

[JJAB91]

@rosabella22391 WORT WORT WORT

[MrBOXHEAD2212]

NO LONGER HATES!!!! JEDI WINS!!!

[Awesomehobo44]

All this makes me think of is me shitting myself due to the numerous enemies on assault on the control room.

[Colossianss]

Wow,this brings back memories! Halo CE was simply amazing and was a huge impact on everyone who loved fps'. I'll always remeber playing this game for the first time!

[williamwiggles]

CEA totally ruined this song.

[Joey856721]

BOSS AT 0:56

[LP571]

I'm not one of those nutty fanboys that completely shuns any new or updated Halo related things. For example, the people that flipped out of Chief's jetpack in the H4 trailer (lol). I really don't mind. But boy can I say, please play CEA with the original soundtrack. Not that remastered isn't good... its great! But it just doesn't immerse you in the game quite as well as the original does. These songs send shivers down my spine, give me goosebumps, and sometimes even make me braver.

[RuffianScruff]

The CEA version of this is ugly and stupid. Hate it, hate it, hate it,

343 did a sickening deed messing with this beatiful piece of art.

[davehowellman]

Halo CE/A was the best. Halo 2 was a massive let down because of the linear dark levels and playing as the arbiter. 3 was back on form and a very good game. Reach was even better than 3 and had everything! You just can't beat CE/A though because some divine intervention and the hand of the almighty himself came down to balance that game out!

[RockOnBuckethead]

@davehowellman halo 2 levels were not linear if you did not want them to be. halo 2 had the most fun campaign lvls in my opinion because of all the fun glitches that you can take advantage of

[davehowellman]

@RockOnBuckethead it's been ages since I've played halo 2, what glitches do you mean?

[davrulesdawurld]

Cheif...MAKE E'M DANCE!

[Shotgunnerhell]

When I saw this I thought of the grunt dancing easter egg in reach except they where on Halo and dancing around the library.

[Nighthawk2702]

0:56 <3

[spartan1337nintendo]

thanks i need this for a machinima

[halofan7217]

i thought up a dance for this lol

[NinjaNegra101]

I can defently see a grunt, and an elite doing the stanky leg while this song is playing :D

[AbooMan]

Every time i hear this, i can almost se a little grunt doing som weird dance :P

[karlost2]

0:52 =(

[NHLfan96]

:D

[darthnemesis02]

Hate this level soooooo god damn much. >:( Goddamn elites....

[optimusrocks1]

flaged for giving me an eargasim

[RaptorJesus94]

when the song track stops playing in the game :,(

[343TheSentient]

Im flagging this for drug abuse. I can't get off the replay button :S

[haloceman4]

@343TheSentient hey your that guy who made that vid about the origins of the flood thats an amazing theory good job

[343TheSentient]

@haloceman4 Thanks! Its based of halo: cryptum :)

[haloceman4]

@343TheSentient i kno but i loved the animation you used and the narration was perfect

[343TheSentient]

@haloceman4 Thanks :) Glad you liked it! :)

[haloceman4]

@343TheSentient you should do the story of the forerunners like that it would b cool

[343TheSentient]

@haloceman4 Yeah i was thinking of doing something like that. Problem is I don't have enough concept art to make models/imagine what the Ecumine Council and the Builder ships would look like/behave from halo: cryptum, but I will keep that in mind in the future :)

[haloceman4]

@343TheSentient no pressure just thought it would b cool i have problems with animation like that when i make halo custom edition maps soooo annoying

[zutexin]

@hewki999 well you can still play the classic music in CEA, look at options and find "video" the you change the music from remastered to classic

[BeguiledTurnipVDI]

the covenant tribal dance!

[Ins3ktz]

@hewki999 I agree, but not all the changes were bad. Under Cover of Night sounds absolutely amazing in Anniversary.

[THEqrunt]

Damn, this isn't playing in Anniversary when you first see the Flood on Two Betrayals :( Must be a glitch.

[BlueBowzzer]

@THEqrunt just turn back to old music and it should work.

[RuffianScruff]

This is the best music ever. It makes me want to play Two Betrayals again. This music comes on when you first see the flood on Two Betrayals. Or at least 0:53

Halo CE has always been my favorite. I've been playing since I was 7. I only beat Halo CE when I was 10. That was partly due to the library.  ):{

[FieldPyro]

This stills sounds better even compared to the remastred version, Choreographite

[optimusrocks1]

TODAYYYYYY TIME TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haloceman4]

halo cea is out 2day

[Gomosama1]

Everyting about this game, feels right. No other game can do that

[EJsacasa]

@Gomosama1 i agree

[MalachiCo0]

@Gomosama1 Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, God of War, Gears of War, need I go further?

[Gomosama1]

@MalachiCo0 yeah those games are good, haha but this is perfection at its best. Maybe this game is not for you, i dont know..

[XxitachixXZZ]

@MalachiCo0 You can't compare those games to Halo CE/A. Halo its like the best game.

[MalachiCo0]

@XxitachixXZZ Acually I like Halo 2 and Reach better than CE, and at least 75% of people will say OOT is the best game of all time (Game Informer likes Skyward Sword better, so technically, that's the best). SSB was the first game I've played. You can't play as a majic god who kills gods who are 100X as big, can you? You can't play as a Hunter like you can play Beserkers in GOW 3, can you?

[XxitachixXZZ]

@MalachiCo0 Reach is not better than Halo CE/A, I agree that Halo 2 is though.

[PackHunter117]

@Gomosama1 Other than Halo Reach and Halo Anniversary yes.

[ModifiedGear]

@Gomosama1 Metal Gear Solid can! :D

[Gomosama1]

@ModifiedGear truly an excellent game, but you watch it more than you play it, hehe and the music doesnt make you feel invincible =P

[CSnIntelligence]

@ModifiedGear No it can't.

[TheOzoneLayerHatesMe]

TONIGHT WE KILL EVERYTHING

[StarwindAmada20]

ELEVEN HOURS

[funnyvidsmaster12]

omg we only have 1 day till it comesout

[Mitouboxer117]

2011

[XxitachixXZZ]

Just 4 more days for Halo CEA, can't wait!!

[cheetafist]

I was imagining that last badass UNSC marines is going make last stand against Flood horde inside the structure of "Guilty Spark 343", as the video nearly ends...John 117 a.k.a Master Chief, was able in time to rescue last surviving marine out of ten men - Private Dustin Echoes was his name. Now they just need to replay the song again to escape the structure and again to extraction point.

Since Master Chief disappeared to  "The Libary", Dustin Echoes was not seen again ever since.

[silverthehedgehog21]

Im just going to go and plug my old xbox in and just play halo until i go to bed this is just so nostalgic.

[silverthehedgehog21]

@KamikazeEntree5 same

[The343freak]

November 15th! Just a few more days to go!

[davehowellman]

Halo Combat Evolved - most balanced game ever - IMO

[CaptGermasiov]

cant wait to hear this on CEA

[PoloMarco1337]

halo 2 best campaign ive ever played

[tokmak333]

I think everybody likes halo soundtracks but my best soundtrack is covenant dance ( 0:54 )

[davehowellman]

@tokmak333 me too, ever since the first time I assaulted that control room last century, lol

[BabyPaulaPolestar]

@WatoKid97 Elder Scrolls* Not Oblivion

[bbenjoe]

29 don't know a thing 'bout dance.

[halo31004]

I think all halo games are the best, let's see what 343 industries pulls off on the new reclaimer trilogy

[XLrLNoOdLE]

Listen to this song with headphones, its even more badass (somehow)

[mexuza]

this music is epic, this is the music that raises the hairs on the back of your neck, this is the music that gives you goose bumps, this is the music that amkes you feel strong and powerfull enough to take on the world.... this is the music comming back in 29 days.... forever halo and for its epic story, amazing music and its return with master chief S117 for a whole new trilogy...

[pmic2011]

@mexuza SHUT. YOUR. PIEHOLE

[mexuza]

@pmic2011 BWUHAHAHAHA jokes on you, i dont eat pie

[EJsacasa]

@mexuza the old music is better then the "remastered versions". At least they give you the option to use the original music. i mean, the new ones are not bad, you are probably going to enjoy it when you play it, but when you use the original, you are going to realize how much better it is.

[Ins3ktz]

@EJsacasa

Some of the new ones are better. SOME.

But the Remake is fantastic. A game every CE fan should cherish.

[PackHunter117]

@EJsacasa Well personally the only 2 old Halo songs that are better are Covenant Dance and the Halo Theme song.

[zyvaXterminator]

@EJsacasa I agree, but they fucked up, cause that's impossible to increase music volume, and the volume for original tracks is very low, so I use the remastered ones. They're still good but...

[EJsacasa]

@zyvaXterminator actually, even the remastered version volume is also messed up

[SeriousSam61]

@EJsacasa yea

[Nokia2865]

@EJsacasa

The new OST isn't bad, but the old one is the best! so epic!

[optimusrocks1]

Excellent ;)

[jx8j]

the first thing that comes in mind when i here this song is the FLOOD

[ChiefandSamus]

its called the covenant dance because at 0:53 that is when the covenant dance to the macarena

[ChiefandSamus]

second part of the song sounds like the macarena

[itsThismany]

nothing like coming through those doors, rushing the banshees before the damn elites get them, flying killing everyone on the bridge, the wraith. then open those big ass doors... november 15 should come a little sooner.

[ChocolateParagon]

@itsThismany I remember that bit, the race on top of the bridge :L

[armorhide406]

@itsThismany well to wait, why dont you dust off that copy of CE and play it on xbox, or if you have it on PC, run it. thats what im doing. redoing PC version. wish anniversary was on PC though

[no0bh4ter1]

@itsThismany TOMORROW!

[EJsacasa]

@itsThismany you should use the original music when playing anniversary. the new versions suck, they werent even made by the same composer. I think 343 said you could change between the old and new music.

[MrNaffifire]

i last heard it when i played halo CE back in 2005....i was browsing all the halo soundtracks on UTube cuz i remember there was a track THAT HOT :D

[hippoberries]

i'm going to be aunest the first thing i thought of was a elite with a balarina suit

[roboguy75]

if they are gonna remaster this song, for the love of god, make sure the tune still kicks ass

[williamwiggles]

incredible or classic.... how about incredibly classic?

[ANGELSNIPER117]

STOP FIGHTING....we all know that DOOM was the first 1st peron shooter

[ProtossHydralisk]

@ANGELSNIPER117 Are you stupid? No it wasn't. It was Maze War.

[ANGELSNIPER117]

@ProtossHydralisk i though it was doom

[BabyPaulaPolestar]

@ANGELSNIPER117 NO, DOOM IS NOT.

It was Wolfenstain...I think

[Oaksparrow]

If you think about it, if Halo didn't come out, Gaming wouldn't be as fun as it is today. We wouldn't have COD or other first player games..

[Qaurine]

@Oaksparrow We would have all those things,Halo:CE was just one of the first FPS games on a console to actually compare to PC FPS's.It also had something most FPS's today are lacking;atmosphere.Beyond tense action and suspension,most action games are void of what Halo:CE had.It didn't just make you feel like a badass,it made you feel like you were actually fighting for mankind's survival,It made you forebode every turn you made in your first encounter with the flood,it made you feel immersed.

[teortega93]

This reminds me The Floods Part 1 from Halo Custom Edition :D!

[343brickarmsspark]

it reminds me when my reach broke like 10 minutes ago >:(

[karajun1]

I just bought a prety decent sound system (logitech z5500) and this music sounds AMAZING, Cant wait for Combat evolved.

[d1234583]

@karajun1 you mean combat evolved ANNIVERSARY? me neither brah!

[karajun1]

@d1234583 lol



[funnyvidsmaster12]

For all u cod fans, think about it. where would you be without halo?
