  • as good as this story is, it was str8 jacked from starcraft 1 protoss conflicts, what a joke

  • love the part at 2:20

  • best intro , best ending , best atmosphere , best story ( BY FAR) and best music (BY fAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR) of a game ever made.

  • @MinimalZOMBEE u halo fan boy's are a joke

  • After CE Anniversary it would be awesome if they remade Halo 2 as well, I've always imagined this cutscene with awesome graphics.

  • even after all these years this intro is still a masterpiece

  • Your heresy will stay your feet.

    Best line ever.

  • abyter and master chief are cool

  • Just agree that halo 2 might not been the best game of the series, but damn it was so fucking good cutscenes, music, etc. That counts

  • that planet was reach

  • @ReyJoroXD Duh.

  • @ReyJoroXD That planet is the planet the first halo orbited around. It's a gas giant. The pillar of autumn CAME from reach to halo, remember?

  • reach and the pillar of autoum coming out of it with master chief and this is the ending of halo reach

  • Halo 2 and half everything in it is so much better than halo 3 in all it's versions.

  • I think Halo 2 carried a more emotional story definitely my favorite of the series

  • Poor Arby :(

  • @InspieringEpicVideos

    The forerunners were not ancient humans.

  • Covenant did not fucking build Halo. The forerunners did, and they were humans who lived hundreds of years before the first halo game.

  • @InspieringEpicVideos try millions

  • weird i can remember all of halo 1 but dont remeber playing 2 at all

  • yeh i got to agree oon that! halo 2 campaign was so sick!!

  • interesting how the xbox only did all that with 64 mb of ram and a 256bit graphics card

  • "How many ships did the humans have?"

    "Only one..."

    One kickass Pillar of Autumn!

  • love that song in the background!

  • Halo 2 has the best story of the Halo games.

  • and halo 2 is the most sold game on xbox

  • You are over-rated.

  • Another Xfail 360 fanboy.

    Nothing new.

  • I am very tired to make drama.

    Just stop defending yourself, OK?

    Everyone knows this game is the best as it had one of the most biggest money income in the whole world, and just because you think this game is overrated doesn't mean everyone thinks so, and this game is a total failure.

    And no, I don't have a 360.

  • "I will continue my campaign against the humans".

    Good stuff. Halo 2's style is great. Truth sounds a million times better in Halo 2 than in Halo 3. Why Bungie chose a different actor is beyond me. Same with Miranda.

  • wait a minute... if you check and fleeing human ship AND know the UNSC ship classes... that would be a Marathon-Class cruiser, not the Halcyon-class cruiser (The cship class of the PoA)..

  • If you check the halo encyclopedia, The fleeing ship is a haylcon class.

  • In the story, the fleeing ship(The Pillar of Autumn) is a Halcyon class Cruiser

    However in Halo 2's intro, the model is of a Marathon class cruiser(Confirmed because it matches with the Marathon shown as a part of the fleet defending Earth)

  • Even though Halo 3 was the most polished game in the trilogy, I still think, in almost every way Halo 2 was better. The story offered many suprises, the cliffanger ending was a shock at first, yes, but it also made things very intresting there were lot of open questionts and because of that I had huge expectations for Halo 3. But the whole story in Halo 3 felt like very simple child story and there were no big suprises. Also the most of the multiplayer maps were better in Halo 2 in my opinion.

  • 2:23-2:48 pure art ;P

  • im sure it is on some art book.

  • Huh?

  • its on amazon. The art of halo 2 or something.

  • Heh okay...

  • looking back at this now when odst is just around the corner makes me love the halo series even more :D

  • dude does any 1 know the name of the song at the intro

  • "tell that to the covenent" best line ever

  • Nay! It was HERESY!

  • does anyone one know were i can download the trial

  • There is no Halo 2 trial, only Halo:CE.

    Sorry though.

  • theres no trial but u could download the 8 parts of halo 2 if u want just put 100% halo 2 download

  • halo 2's intro was s much better then halo 3's. personaly the whole story was better then halo 3. wicked game

  • ally t,WICKED

  • you mean Ally G yeah :D

    i forgive ya since the "t" is just above the "g"

    laters.

  • @Anonymous0ne Halo rules. Halo had very good gameplay. But halo 1 had the best story. Hope REACH is good.

  • @InspieringEpicVideos yeah i'm looking forward to it, be good to kill some elites again. all the best

  • @Anonymous0ne So were the character models.

  • is this pc or xbox

  • great video love it

  • cool video I like it a lot...

  • Comment removed

  • well nyways i liked the covenant holy city,high charity thou ...its an eye catcher!!!!

  • "tell that to the covenant"

    haha :D

  • i think there was somethin unusal abt it

  • does anybody hw many tymes did srgt johnson die?????

  • 3 times

  • well i did kno that...c'mon u can die only once but this guy...i dont believe it..in da first part he was not affected by flood n then he died wen the ring blew up...then he appeared in halo 2 n then in 3!!!!

  • godMode

  • i know bungie made a few mistakes

  • ya...i think there's a halo 4 ...maybe i'm not sure abt that..becoz at halo 3 ending they were focussing at a star...fans say that its onyx..but who knows if its true n if there is a halo4 maybe bungie wud give an answer 2 srgt johnson's life!!!

  • and Johnson would get a girl! (reference to Sgt. Johnson quote, I forget what one)

  • Bungie has pretty much said that Johnson in Halo 1 was like Kenny in South Park.

  • LOL so thats why when you kill him in Halo 1 he just appears around the next corner

  • that cannot be true. He only died once but it only looked like he died another 2 times.

    Halo is just to good to have fake situations.

  • well dat seems impossible he survived tghe flood becz of sumthin in his body .... he survived the explosion of the ring (04) where we only knew that MC n monitor had survived..n moreover we saw that Johnson was in the pelican wid ECHO 419..so hw did they escape??? n hw did JOHNSON get down to fight an elite for an ASSAULT gun in legendary???? where he was supposed to be in the pelican wid 2 BANSHEES chasin him!

  • read the book he an some more marines scape in a shipthe last scene in the maul was non cannon

  • sio u mean that they didn sho other marines escaping...ok then wat was that in legendary that johnson n an elite fighting for an assault rifle???

  • was non cannon its like an extra film that never happend bungie say that that thing never happend in the history of halo :)

  • Gr8.....!!!!!

  • but if it didn't happen, how come Johnson refered to his death in (i think) halo 2

  • i donno abt dat...i just gathered info...from other sites..

  • The covenant was stupid because they thought that Halo would wipe just one race even though they were told by the "oracles". Halo is a weapon of last resort. It was built to take they flood with them if they had no other options

  • no luck in new grounds!!!!

  • I honestly don't know. Try downloading this video off of youtube.

  • i did it thru real player ...but it's not playin..i tried thru vlc but no luck ..but i downloaded halo 2 trailer from another site..it worked!!

  • hey GEDno3....do u remember the 4th level the silent cartographer???? the second part "SHAFTED"???

  • Why would the hierarchs destroy one of their most prized "ïnstruments"?

    Well serves it right, it took me an entire day in Halo CE to get past the Silent Cartographer because of the f-ing armored elite.

  • well it might 've took u 1 day but 4 me it took 3 weeks..to get passed the level 4...becoz i didn turn on the speaker , so i was loitering around in lvl 4 to kill the elite..but the door was locked n there was nothin i could do....later wen i heard abt the passage thru cortana..i was so pissed!!!

  • In the end I got creative I restarted the entire thing. And drove warthhog with a gunner and a passenger down there. And I left it there. At that one cutscene where it shows the elite, I saw bullets coming from my gunner in the warthhog and when I went back to the place after I beat the mission and en route to the pelican the armored elite was dead!!! And both the passenger and gunner were alive. Easy way to beat the mission.

  • well i didn do dat..but found a short cut after activating the cartographer..here it goes.....first activate halo(to open the door),wen u come back u find 2 elites (camoflaged) kill them..take the warthog n go up the slope u'll find 3 shields ..

  • take one of them n just beside it u'll find a tree ..take the warthog n drive over it keep the mouse pointed on top to make it a safe landing on the tree n the same way u get down from the tree then u'll find a wrecked pelican take a rocket launcher kill the jackal n grunts n go to the door activate halo..thats my shortcut!

  • I drove straight through the door and into the place where all the elites and grunts got their asses run over or blown out by a barrage of machine gun fire.

  • cool i did that wen the door was closing i took the warthog n crashed the door it didn open thou!!i tried hard n now i dont have the game its no use now

  • it doent matter nyways ..but in the end he n arbitor survived n the rest were destroyed!!!! lucky him!

  • well actually the elite was a PRIZED INSTRUMENT as he led the fleet wid honour n distinction untill chief destroyed the ring...n u kno the ring is some kind of religious significance sum crap...... n also the ring possess a vast unimaginable power..they get it...human race i swiped off!!!

  • do u kno where can i download this video????

  • try new grounds.

  • wish i could download so that i dont have to log in to youtube all da tym!!! i have evrythin abt halo .... i just need these videos thats all!!!

  • where is the part where he gets his armor burned off? i remember that part i just cant find it

  • ya ur right they torture him n the brutes burn his armour......i think its in halo 300

  • c'mon MIDNA 210 arbitor is not the elite arbitor is the other guy who goes along wid johnson n chief

  • i wonder how long they spent on the model of the pillar of autumn at 0:48 only for it to be seen for about two seconds XD

  • wats da name of the elite?

  • the arbiter

  • did the covenents learn english???? hw could that be???

  • i'm guessing half would be translations, the other half when they talk to us- is real, according to the novels, they studied mankind for sometime b4 attacking

  • well may be i guess ur right!

  • Is this pc or xbox

  • Is the Elite who had his armor burned off The Arbiter?

  • yea, and he gets his arbiter armor later

  • I love this intro

    It shows that The Covenant are more sophisticated than it's seems. Now you see they're not a bunch of retarded grunts you saw in Halo: Combat Evolved.

    + 1 Ownmanship

  • Grunts are a bunch of scaredy cats. They're always running and screaming.

  • listen jer if u think halo is GAY! why are u looking up halo on youtube u dum ass

  • curse on you Heretic....but I recognize there's better titles like Killzone and Unreal.

  • Just like you jer900man. If you don't like Halo then stop waiting your time here talking shitness.

  • shut the fuck up nikka suck my dick

  • stfu and gtfo

  • id like to see u make a game that gets a 9.8 and win game of the year dumbass

  • lol.

    your opionion, yet you search halo on youtube and type this, sad.

  • Heretic = those who broke oath to protect and serve Covenant + Halo

  • if only halo 3 had alittle better story line.

  • true..halo 2's is far better

  • So Halo contains the Flood, if the Flood escapes then Halo was designed to self destruct and kill everything in the galaxy thus preventing the flood from surviving.

    Now that Halo was destroyed, were there any Flood survivors? Also, isn't it a good thing for the Covenant that it was destroyed otherwise the ring would surely destroy them.

    Politics is so funny when they don't know what they are talking about.

  • you cant compare the storylines...its the same story in all of em jeez...the story begins with book Halo: The fall of reach, after that it continues in Halo 1, then i think its book Halo: The First strike, and then Halo 2 etc. Its like comparing Lotr 1 and Lotr 2 intros -.- its the same stupid story, and i love it.

  • It begins with Contact Harvest...

  • the story of master chief.... ive red fall of reach a dozen times and in there chief is introduced as 6 year old kid. :)

  • I tryed to make an game of Contact Harvest...it failed...

  • Tell that to the covenant.

  • One of the most amazing video game intros ever made, in my opinion. Halo 3's story was good, and Halo 1's was alright- but if you ask me, Halo 2 was by far the best.

  • mm i think your right but halo 3 was the worst i lvoe halo 3 gameplay but its story line was well shitty but thats only because halo 2 was so good hwo could they live up to it but halo 2 gameplay was no were nere as good so they jsut focused on that i know im mroe speaking in 3rd person

  • ur right about storyline...but halo 2 gameplay wasnt as fun as the 1st or 3rd. still, i loved halo 2's story

  • Agreed, Halo 2's story was wayy more in depth than any of the other games. Halo 1 made a great intro to the story, Halo 2 put in more detail, and Halo 3 topped it off. I still think Halo 3's campaign kinda sucked though..It could have been a lot better in my opinion...

  • well, not really, i feel halo 2 was almost rushed in, you see in certain cinematics it takes time for the details to load up etc, they shoulda spent a lil more time polishing it off b4 release, but still, a great game, and a brilliant trilogy

  • Plese put me out my misery and tell me if that is the voice of John Hurt?

  • how does jhonson survive?

  • and so the elite became known as "the Arbiter"...

  • hola

  • lol colossal failure

  • is it the same graphics for halo 1? or is it slightly better, i wanna know because i'm planning to buy it and i don now if my computer would be fast enough i'm no computer wiz >_>

  • graphics are better

  • No,its gameplay cutscenes.

  • Cool intro, but with does the convenant want to eliminate humans??

    Damn, bastards!!! If we had more "master chiefs" the war would be easy to win!!

  • Tell that to the Cuvvanent, lol

  • The honor guards are cool!!!

  • The prophent is stupid and so r the brutes.

  • Are these scenes CGI or is it a gameplay movie scene? If it is then I forgot how good the graphics were.

  • I love HALO and i am so happy someone put this on here.

  • what the heck did the arbiter do befoer he was turned into the arbiter?

  • He failed a mission in Halo

  • lol tartrus just appears out of know where

  • Regret's voice is so cool.

  • They do it so you can understand them, maybe it's easier for the to talk that way. Plus, I hate subtitiles; I think it ruines the picture.

  • Someone wants play Halo 2 on XLink Kai or XBConnect?

    ICQ: 439871705 | AIM: kurnajakto | Yahoo: szarfsztajn

  • i want to see masterchief face!!!

  • Aw, nice Video man... good audio. 5/5

  • I can't wait to build my new computer so I can finally play this game.

    (I'm a Halo fan trapped in a Sony fanboy body.)

  • sony does have decent computer ( not really for gaming) yet they rtoo expensive.

  • optics totally fried lets not even talk about the power supply lol the way the tech marine says it is funny as hell

  • Councilor elites look so awesome.

  • those are the prophets

  • Halo is the best.

  • why do the aliens speak english?

  • cause they are dumb like you (noly kidding) its really strange i know

  • Maybe they are the ones who taught the English language to the humans...

  • transilator in the armor let them speak the same language as the humans do

  • It's because people are too lazy to read subtitles. And bungie knows it. Personally I prefer subs.

  • me too

  • The fload(flood) was destroyed in halo 1 the way i see it

  • No flood were not destroyed cause they never activated Halo, they just blew it up.

  • Comander-Do you now how expensive this geer is son?

    Master Chief-Tell that to the Covenent( and the Fload too lol)

  • Do u have 2 b on an admin account to PLAY (not just install) halo 2?

  • high charity *cries* find cortana halo 3 took me and a mate ages on legendary... that was so hard halo 2 is really goood and i like it even though halo 3 in my opion is better

  • i had done all the levels on legendary and was steeling myself for a legendary run on cortana and when i did it i was suprised

    i of course died a whole lot but i was suprised as to how much easier it was than i expected

  • AMEN.

  • i dont no who gave u -1 but i give u +1 lol

  • halo 3 multiplayer is great i admit, but the campagin was a slight let down in my opinion, and who gave me the -1?

  • :D Or when XBOX 360 emulator comes out.

    Then we can ditch 360, and get an SLI w/ quad core to play 360 games on it w/ maximum frame rates :P.

  • halo 2 was good but i liked halo 3 more

  • Halo 2 was the best one
