Did you know? HALO 'We Are ODST' #gaming #halo #halomcc #haloinfinite #halo3odst #lore #odst #Canon

Correction: The scenes were shot in 3 locations outside Budapest. The cooling tower was part of a nuclear power station (not coal as stated in the video) and the coal mine was used for the battle scenes (the coal mine being how we got our wires crossed when scripting the video).

Easily the best advertisement for Halo, next to the Reach leadup ad with Spartan Thom.

Halo should have kept the gritty live action commerical trend for the franchise.

[therobustempyrean]

"Helljumper, Helljumper, where you been?
Feet first into hell, and back again!
When I die, please bury me deep,
Place an MA5 down by my feet!
Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear,
Just pack my box with my PT gear!
Cause early one morning 'bout zero-five,
The ground will rumble, there be lightning in the sky!
Don't you cry, don't you come undone,
It's just my ghost on a PT run!"
- UNSC ODST running cadence.

this trailer still higher production then that crappy paramount show

[tobsmonster]

Halo really used to be something special. Even the ads are impactful 10+ years later.

Dude we were spoiled as fuck when this shit was going around. I haven’t seen this commercial in years and the music and visuals just gave me chills. I feel so bad for kids these days that don’t get this type of quality for advertisement no less.

[SpartanScythe]

Your job isn't to jump feet first into hell, it's to make sure it's crowded once you get there.

The instructors and the officer are speaking in Hungarian. These ODST's are also native Hungarian speakers.

[Scimetar]

The helmet and rifle effigy described is called a combat cross and is traditionally constructed from the fallen squad member's issued weapon, planted barrel-frist in the ground, helmet placed atop the rifle's buttstock, boots placed straddling the rifle's barrel, and dogtags wrapped around the rifle's trigger mechanism.

[Lord-.-]

My favorite Halo ad ever... I still watch it to this day... Wondering about the story of the squad

[TFBadBush]

if they had kept this energy for the live action show, it would have been one of the greatest shows in history.

[Jedisage]

That song hits hard in the feels if you close your eyes and just listen to it

[minaraiya]

Master Chief? You mind telling me what are you doing in this short?

[xxxCrackerJackxxx]

I've said it for years, the best way to do a live-action Halo TV show would just do something like Band of Brothers but with ODST, this trailer and Halo 3's "Landfall" shorts prove how wonderfully this would work.

[yourfavweeb]

I never knew that (also I love how the text to speech sounds like Master Chief)

[DeadGothicRed]

One of the greatest pieces of art ever created. We all wanted to be ODSTs

[Zakvadr]

God, even the song gives me chills. Just remembering how ODST made you reconsider jumping into a fight was legendary! Wish we had some more like it.

[Pawsome_Opossum]

I think my favorite detail is that it’s a Canadian TV spot trailer where the song is Welsh and the Marines speak Hungarian. A big ol’ miss-mash of nationalities.

[beastmode]

Fun fact is these ODSTs are actually part of the canon, and are considered a Hungarian speaking battalion as far as we can tell.

As a side note, it’s interesting to see how much Hungarian is spoken in Halo as we look at the farmers on Reach as well as the Scientist’s daughter at the Visegrad Relay. All Hungarian speakers

[ninjanoodle]

This and Remember Reach were some of the best trailers I've ever seen.
