The Halo 2 remaster is still one of the best remasters ever made. The cutscenes look straight outta a movie

[playerplus]

Dude perfected the "You now play as the arbiter" reaction

[SavantPete]

Love how Dontai can acknowledge how scary the flood is

[EnginesofNurgle-kuug]

The arbiter’s inclusion in this game is the greatest thing in all of gaming

[robertdaiglejr]

I can watch the opening cutscene 100 times and still watch closely for every single second. This game is absolutely peak gaming.

“some poonani for our work” Dontai doesn’t realize he’s playing as the deadliest virgin known to man

[Cookiemario]

Things to know:
•Captain Keys did die
Stg Johnson is the other dude with Captain Keys he survived
• dual wielding is more damage slower reloading
• Those flying ships turrets are capable of being destroyed you can blow them up with tanks rocket launchers, & warthog machine guns
•they remove health packs from the game now all you have to do is hide and heal

23:15 "yknow i need ammo" while staring at a ammo rack. Never change lmao

Dontai in his character development arc

[NeedumReacts]

[jonmora]

HALO 2 is my childhood and the greatest games I’ve ever played still

Imagine hating on Xbox all these years and then playing the Xbox flagship and finding out how awesome it was.

This is why you cannot be a fanboy, all consoles have great things to offer.

Dontaii to explain
The covenant is a giant multi Alien Cult that believes that activating the Halos (killing everyone) will make them achieve the great beyond…

The Arbiter (in the eyes of the religion) should have focused on protecting the Ring despite the Flood being on there
So the arbiter got in trouble for Heresy cause he didn’t see the beauty of the HALO ring

[kukupachu]

The anniversary cutscenes are amazing. Thank you Blur Studio.

[TacoLex]

That ending 😂

We all felt like that in 2004

[clayoliveaux]

The overhaul on the cutscenes makes this look like a movie

[Doodlebopgamingfortheboyz]

The cutaway at the end was priceless. Also, HELL YEAH DONTAI THE GOAT!!

[Sangheillioz]

Just gonna start writing this comment and add to it as I get through the video...

- To answer your question, the planet the Covenant set fire to in the opening cutscene was Reach, which was the biggest, most important colony to humanity. The only planet more important the Reach, is Earth, and Reach was well regarded as the strongest military stronghold in the UNSC. The Pillar of Autumn fled as Reach fell, jumping through "slipspace" and winding up at the Halo ring in the first game, which is where the game picks up.
- Sgt Johnson surviving the first Halo ring and making it back is covered in the books, and there's actually some juicy lore involved as to why/how he managed to survive, which is super interesting to Halo nerds like me but you don't need to worry about it for now since you're just going through the games for the first time.
- The hunters in the first game were chumps once you figured out that a single pistol or sniper shot to their unarmored midsection takes them down (easiest from behind). In every Halo game since they have not had that weakness.
- Something I think you missed in the first Halo was that the Flood are extremely intelligent. They were working to repair both the Covenant ship that you retrieved Keyes' neural implants from and the Pillar of Autumn. That's why they had such a heavy presence in both locations.

Also, that cut at the end was hilarious!

The ending encapsulates my own reaction when I realized we could play as elites back when I was a kid xDDD

[street_stunts_records]

The one liners from HALO are iconic. "For a brick, he flew pretty good!" XD
