[00:02] is many a true nerd and welcome to a Halo Combat Evolved. A much loved classic of 25 years ago that I've never played before cuz yes, when this originally came out, it was on Xbox and at the time I had Gamecube. So yeah, I
[00:17] just never had the opportunity to play this back in the day. So, I figured given this game is literally about to get a brand new remaster next week, this might be a good time to go back to the original, albeit by the PC Steam
[00:29] Collection, and see what all the fuss is about.
[01:05] did we lose them? >> I think we both know the answer to that.
[01:21] >> get here first? The Covenant ships have always been faster. As for tracking us all the way from Reach, at light speed, my maneuvering options were limited. >> We were running dark. Yes, >> until we decelerated, no one could have
[01:34] >> until we decelerated, no one could have missed the hole we tore in subspace. of the planet. >> So, where do we stand?
[01:46] >> Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now. Nothing serious. But I've isolated approach signatures for multiple CCS class battle groups. Make it three capital ships per group. And in about 90 seconds, they'll be all
[02:00] over us. >> Well, that's it. Then bring the ship back up to combat alert alpha. I want everyone at their stations. Everyone, sir. >> Everyone.
[02:14] >> Let's give our old friends a warm welcome. welcome. >> I've already begun.
[02:26] >> Attention all combat personnel. Please report to your action station.
[02:43] 11. 14th platoon rendevous with 22nd tactical at Bolthead Charlie 14.
[02:57] PURPOSE. >> This is not a drill. I repeat, this is >> This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. the Fly Boy started. We are leaving this ship platoon and engaging the Covenant
[03:12] on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, we will rip their SKULLS FROM THEIR we will rip their SKULLS FROM THEIR SPINES AND TOSS THEM AWAY LAUGHING. >> SIR, [screaming] YES, SIR. [groaning] >> MHM. Damn right I AM. NOW, MOVING OUT
[03:26] >> ATTENTION all personnel. We are re-engaging the enemy. External and re-engaging the enemy. External and internal contact imminent. >> All you green horns who wanted to see Covenant up close, this is going to be
[03:39] Covenant up close, this is going to be your lucky day. Wow. Sir, right. Let's thaw him out. Okay.
[03:53] Bringing low-level systems online. Cracking the case in 30 seconds.
[04:22] Things are a little hectic right now. The disorientation should pass quickly. >> Welcome back, sir. We'll have your battle ready stat. need to get a calibration reading for your battles suits diagnostics. Okay, so
[04:37] I'm getting the feeling from, you know, the music, choir, the name, the hushed casket, etc., etc. Am I basically the sci-fi chosen one of a murder? Cuz I know nothing about this franchise. No, seriously. Literally, the only thing I
[04:51] know about the Halo franchise is Yeah, I'm Master Chief. They want to say I'm Master Chief. That feels more like, you know, a rank or job title than a person. So, given yes, no one said a name yet, I'm just going to assume I'm playing as
[05:04] Tim Halo till someone corrects me. Beyond that, oh, lying. Okay, either you know what the Covenant have knacked the bloody gravity generators on the ship or I've got one a hell of a jump on me. >> You better get to your evac group, Sam.
[05:18] >> Affirmative. I just have to reset the computer and I'm out of here. Oh god, they're trying to get through the door. Security. Intruders are coming out, TOO. PLEASE DON'T. [screaming] >> SAM. SAM, come on. We've got to get the
[05:31] >> Okay, so things are escalating quickly. I was just doing, you know, the basic look around tutorial and Sam's dead. Whoever Sam was precisely. So, okay, the ship's on fire. The Covenant's coming. Whoever the Covenant are. And um yeah,
[05:46] I've not got a weapon right now. So, okay. Keep on keeping on. I'm sure we'll get a weapon sooner or later. Just check corpses of guns. Bloody useless. The lot
[05:59] of you. Do I know how to punch? By the way, punching will be No, that's just Okay, hang on. Got a shield. I've also got Is that a flashlight? Oh, I've got a flashlight, but no gun cocking load of
[06:13] use. I'll be in a fight. I'm really sorry. I would love to help you, but the best I can do right now is just shining a light in their eyes. Okay, after bravely leaving many people behind to die horribly cuz I couldn't be bothered
[06:27] supposed to be like, you know, meeting that guy from the intro cut scene. But I'm going to be honest, I'm much more interested in this notice board right interested in this notice board right here. Cat found. Female. No collar. Not
[06:41] very friendly. Think she might be scared. Not housebroken either. Found on a presumably 75th deck. She's yours. Cool down. It's a possome. So, okay. There's just a very scared chaotic pawsome somewhere on the ship. Honestly,
[06:57] rest of the crew. I would like to rescue that pawsome and make sure it gets somewhere safe. Damn it. Right. Somebody give me a gun and point me in the give me a gun and point me in the direction of that bloody pawsome place.
[07:10] >> Captain Keys. >> Good to see you, Master Chief. Things aren't going well. Cortana did her best, but we never really had a chance. >> A dozen Covenant superior battleships against a single Houseion class cruiser.
[07:24] With those odds, I'm [music] content with three, make that four kills. Sleep well? >> No. Thanks to your driving. Yes. So, you >> No. Thanks to your driving. Yes. So, you did miss me.
[07:38] >> It must have been one of their boarding parties. I'd guess an anti-atter charge. IS OFFLINE. >> CAPTAIN, the cannon was my last offensive option. >> All right, then. I'm initiating cold
[07:50] protocol article 2. We're abandoning the autumn. That means you too, Cortana. ship. >> In a matter of speaking. The object we found, I'm going to try and land the autumn on it. With all due respect, sir,
[08:03] autumn on it. With all due respect, sir, this war has enough dead heroes. >> I appreciate your concern, Cortana, but it's not up to me. The protocol is clear. Destruction or capture of a shipboard AI is absolutely unacceptable,
[08:15] and that means you're leaving ship. Lock in a selection of emergency landing [music] zones, upload them to my neural lace, and then sort yourself for heart transfer. >> I I sir,
[08:31] Cortana off this ship. Keep her safe from the [music] enemy. If they capture her, they'll learn everything. Force deployment, weapons research. deployment, weapons research. Earth. I understand.
[08:44] maneuvers until you initiate a landing sequence. Not that you'll listen, but handle the final approach. >> Excellent work, Cortana. Thank you. Are
[08:56] >> Excellent work, Cortana. Thank you. Are you ready?
[09:21] different from the Autumns. >> Don't get any funny ideas. to find ammo as you go. >> Okay, so it turns out that yes, the
[09:34] little ship AI mcjet baller is actually the most important thing on the ship and now it lives in my suit. So yes, kind of by association. So am I. Also, I will give you presumably that's the halo that you know gives this game the name Halo.
[09:48] And it does look pretty bloody badass. Yes. Oh, I've just discovered the most amazing button by the way. If I push select, presumably that's the game as it was like, you know, back on the original
[10:03] Xbox and whatnot. Oh, that's kind of awesome that I can just, you know, flip live between the two. That's lovely. I love it when a game does that. Is it weird there's a part of me that kind of prefers this because, you know, it makes
[10:17] me nostalgic for early 2000 shooters. And also on top of that, it does make it much easier to navigate because there was just much less visual clutter. Like you can read this room much more easily to my mind than you can read this room
[10:30] where there's a lot more just random stuff and whatnot. So for some reason, okay, this guy was robbed of his beard in the remaster and his new outfit's not much to write home about either. Okay, keep on keeping on. And
[10:46] got a gun. for tonight. >> Oh my goodness, the Covenants are >> Oh my goodness, the Covenants are adorable. Oh, you guys are so cute. >> Can we maybe like be friends or something? Because you guys are just
[10:58] do I >> Does anyone know how you reload precisely? Oh, right button. Not X, cuz precisely? Oh, right button. Not X, cuz X has to be Why would X be the flipping
[11:11] flashlight over reloading? I guess it was 2001. Stuff was weird back then. So, right, you guys don't mind me cuz Oh, I've got a bigger gun. Oh, that's a much bigger gun, actually. Excuse me. You've got an energy shield, don't [screaming]
[11:25] you? Not anymore. You don't, cuz I've killed you. So, guys, guys, guys, no trouble. No trouble. Master Chief here. Master Chief here. Just get over to you. I've also got melee. Reload. And oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Okay. I've got a shield
[11:38] here. You got a shield, too. Melee, you take out your shield. Take that down. take out your shield. Take that down. pudge you if need be. Right, for the time being at least, Master Chief could just run in though. Hang on a second.
[11:51] Hold RB to swap. So, I know I've got Yes, this pistol. I could swap it out Yes, this pistol. I could swap it out for you, sir. Case that is Oh.
[12:03] Oh, I'm okay with that. Flipping a charge weapon. Yeah. By looks of it, I only have two guns. All right, that seems perfectly reasonable. One charge pistol. One other magent. Oh my goodness, you guys are so adorable. Are
[12:19] you as cute and adorable in the like remaster vision? Hang on. Come back here. Come back here. And I feel like they made you less cute. I mean, that would just be sad, wouldn't it? If humanity got absolutely annihilated by
[12:32] an alien species and they were just like, you know, tiny and adorable this to like, you know, make humanity a bit less embarrassed in the remaster by making them a little bit less adorable. No, we're staying in adorable vision.
[12:45] keep this thing fully charged given I can. So, right, just take you out and blime me. That'll do the job right there. You guys, I'll admit, are less cute. So, I'm pretty sure he's dead, soldier. Don't worry about it. So, okay.
[13:01] What is Oh, right. That's a plasma rifle. No, I think I like my plasma pistol. Actually, we'll just take one of you, keep you fully charged, then blast you, keep you fully charged, then blast anything that looks at me funny. So,
[13:15] >> Okay, we've got you guys. Oh, is there a splash on this, by the way, and go there might be. Try out the lovely flipping a pistol. Take out your shields, buddy. And no, continue. Wait, hang on. Why have I got one of these? I thought I had
[13:31] a human assault rifle. I may have made a mistake at some point. Sorry. Take you out. Go for a little punch if you need to be. Okay, for the time being, we're just in tutorial town. Master Chief is kicking ass and taking names. Wait,
[13:44] wait, wait. Hang on. Hang on. This is That's the weapon I wanted. Let me human we've got here is Yeah, I'm pretty sure this plasma pistol. You can't recharge it. So, oh, docking tune. Right. Can we go and take
[13:59] the fight to them? I like their ship. That's kind of badass. What does it look >> No, I prefer like, you know, the purple of the original. Seriously, I'm so happy with the original graphics. Tragedy though, don't think I can actually, yes,
[14:12] board their ship this way. Neither can I. Oh, never mind. I've gotten overshield, which is apparently what that thing is. So, right, shield, then more shield, then keep on keeping on. Blast some people with some guns.
[14:28] on. Blast some people with some guns. So, oh, hang on. Torch on. take you out, So, oh, hang on. Torch on. take you out, kill you, grab a new gunner potentially. And sorry, just replace that with a good gun. Don't worry about flashlights. So,
[14:42] okay, just take you idiots out. I love the Covenant. They're so tiny and adorable. Seriously, this is great. Not you guys. You're kind of badass. So, just take you out with a punch, my friend. Charger. There's many enemies
[14:55] just start shooting you. And you started running, didn't you? Right. Take out this loser and all of his friends. They retreat, I think. So, reload. Take you out then. Right. Go for the big chappies first.
[15:11] Then you just all flipping a panic. You can just go down too. And yeah, reloading is slow. So, changing weapons might be a better idea than reloading. And oh, hang on, hang on, hang. Yeah. Big shot against the big chappie might
[15:25] just win the fight before it begins. Also, in the remaster, these guys are original, they're actually like, you fact, hang is that true for the the
[15:38] yeah, I feel like they were too. The actual aliens in the original, I like that better. Like, seriously, I'm liking this art design back in 2001 a lot more. Oh, and here's fun. Apparently, we've got Yeah. melee attacks that are on an
[15:53] instant kill from behind. Not what I'd normally expect from Yeah. shooter from normally expect from Yeah. shooter from early 2000s. But get behind you. Give you a little boop. And down you go, sir. Also, I'll be having your gun cuz that's
[16:08] So, okay. I can also use Yeah, this track down. Never mind. You spotted me. So, right. You're panicking immediately. Amazing.
[16:21] You're panicking immediately. Amazing. No. Prioritize that guy. Hide. Hop out. Take you down. Get into cover while I charge up my thing. Get off the big gun. Screw it. Take out you. Take out you. Just rush you. Rush you. Rush you. Rush
[16:34] Just rush you. Rush you. Rush you. Rush you. Rush you. Excuse me. No. No. And you guys will surrender immediately. So yes. Charging the big guys. That's John. You very nearly died there. That may not have been the best idea. No. Still keep
[16:47] have been the best idea. No. Still keep on keeping on a focus on Oh, hang on. We've got a big angry red champion on this occasion. this occasion. You guys are kind of right hiding from
[16:59] You guys are kind of right hiding from me. Get on the torch. Move around to the side. Can I get a bit further around the side of you? We've got Oh, hang on. Well, that's a good angle to approach you from, my friend. Right, that's your
[17:13] you from, my friend. Right, that's your leader dead. Pop out there. Move around the side to join up with what I assume are reinforcements. There's some marines. Down you go. That's over here. So right, there are shields.
[17:26] >> Shields take a large amount of Sorry. I think yes. Possibly Cortana's tried to Sorry, I was too focused on having fun blasting things with my plasma weapon. >> Punch it. >> Ah, sir.
[17:44] distance. >> We're going to make it, aren't we, sir? I don't want to die out here. Look,
[18:09] >> Hell if I know, but we're landing on it. >> Autumn, she's been hit. >> I knew it. The Autumn's accelerating. Keys is going in manual. Keys is going in manual. Heads
[18:26] up everyone. This is it. We're entering the ring's atmosphere in five. >> sure you wouldn't rather take a seat? >> We'll be fine.
[18:39] >> If I still had fingers, they'd be crossed.
[18:53] >> Damn. Hail brake failure. They left too early. early. >> I'm losing her. Right for impact.
[19:13] Are you all right? Can you move? >> All right. I appear to be alive. Not sure about everyone else, though. Right. Possibly only I was the badass chosen one enough to survive the landing. Bare minimum, though. I'm pretty sure I
[19:27] recognized what's on the ground in front of me there. We finally got some cocky >> Warning. I've detected multiple Covenant drop ships on approach. I recommend the Covenant will believe that everyone
[19:42] aboard this lifeboat died in the crash. >> Okay, the objective isn't necessarily to fight, but to evade. So, okay, I see you, my >> Inbound. >> I feel like I've immediately failed to
[19:58] evade. Like, there's no way they didn't see me. Okay, maybe just like, you know, hide in a tree for a second. a tree for a second. Yeah,
[20:16] never mind boy. They definitely cocking saw me and they're sending cocking helicopter gunships. Luckily not very good gunships, but who's shooting at me right now? There's there's definitely people over there.
[20:30] Okay, hang on. Hang on. Before we go any further on this Yes. gigantic green world that's all grassy and watery and whatnot. Do I prefer original graphics
[20:42] or new graphics? So, right, it's suddenly Oh, hang on. Hang on. We've got Oh, well, now I've got this pistol, which I will give you appears to be much more accurate at range. I am very good at shooting enemies from a million miles
[20:56] away. Also, Katana, I'm not sure we need to like run away from these guys. They do appear to be the same losers who are yes very very bloody killable and also run away if their you know commander gets taken out or whatnot. Just take you
[21:09] gets taken out or whatnot. Just take you out buddy. Go to other gun and now everyone else panics and we take him down. So right hang on need to pick yes down. So right hang on need to pick yes a visual approach for this area. It
[21:23] appears to be yes a nice lovely pink morning in remaster town. Um much more night in the original. That's a weird change to make actually. I mean I'll
[21:35] give you the remaster clouds are nicer in general. Yeah, I think I actually prefer this kind of quite stark green and dark blue night to yeah the remastered version. Also, someone's like firing up into the sky or something. I
[21:51] there and like, you know, track down the source of that blue mcjibly thing. So, right, we're staying in this mode before we go any further though. New gun. So,
[22:04] hello there. But we can just like, yeah, reload you. So, yeah, presumably if I fire Aha, smaller automatic pistol majibble.
[22:17] smaller automatic pistol majibble. Gotcha. But yeah, I'm guessing there's going to be trouble up ahead. And yeah, we want to go up and to the And yeah, we want to go up and to the left to figure out what's
[22:29] I hear some little Yeah, I hear some little guys. You're getting faster as you fire, by the way. Not Oh, hang up. Hang up. Reload. Are they Oh, that's definitely sort of homing, isn't it? Oh, that's kind of
[22:43] cool. I appreciate homing bullets. Those are badass. He also kind of explodes too. So, is that a grenade you just flipping tossed at me? I don't know. Possibly. You know what? Homing bullets I could deal with. We'll give you a go
[22:59] for the time being, my friends. So, right. Do I wait for this thing to go red? And that means homing. Yeah, just focus on you, you stupid bastard. And then yeah, if we just take you out, all of you go over too. I feel like in many
[23:15] ways those homing shots didn't really do their job there. Take you out. Some of you start panicking. Not all of you mine. Sometimes some of them recover. mine. Sometimes some of them recover. Excuse me. That's No, you're friendlies.
[23:28] empty. >> Go to plasma. That's a plasma rifle, not a plasma pistol. >> Is everyone dead? I think everyone's dead. So, all right. Moy over here fairly slowly cuz yes, we learn some
[23:43] weren't so common back in this era of gaming. That's fine. So, okay. Prioritize you my Oh, you've got a shield. Right. Just toss a grenade at you. That's you dead. So, right. Tough people toss grenades. Pretty fast
[24:00] always going to work with that one. Oh, hang on. In a bit of trouble here, by the way. Excuse me. Just take you out, buddy. And no, no, no, no, no, no. Take
[24:14] buddy. And no, no, no, no, no, no. Take >> bloody beat guy. Hold still for one. Oh, those grenades that you just gave me that. Oh, hang on. I think they are. grenade. What sort of grenade are these? These
[24:27] are like alien grenades, I think. So, hang on. Swap to Oh, my good old hang on. Swap to Oh, my good old favorite friends here. Yeah. Plasma weaponry is what these guys have got. And then hang up. Plasma grenade. So
[24:42] right, the Covenant uses plasma stuff. And it kind of homes actually. So just toss a grenade at you. That's a sticky grenade. That's you dead. Everyone starts panicking. And yeah, when it goes red, everything autotargets. The human
[24:57] weapons get to do that by the way. Like if I just like, you know, target over here. Yeah, I think red just means auto aim is now in play cuz obviously this was originally a console shooter so auto aim was a lot more common back in those
[25:09] aim was a lot more common back in those days. So just take you out and >> you're a human. That's fine. >> This is Pelican Echo 419. Anybody reading me? Repeat. Any UNC personnel respond.
[25:24] >> Roger Echo 419. This is Fire Team Charlie. We read you. Is that you faux >> Roger Fire Team Charlie. Good to hear from you, command shuttle. >> I'm on my way.
[25:38] >> Look, more lifeboats. They're coming in fast. >> If those lifeboats make it down, right on top of, The Master Chief and I are going to see if we can save some soldiers.
[25:53] if we can save some soldiers. >> Roger, Cortana. Saddle up and give them hell. >> Roger, Fauxhammer. Stand by to evac
[26:05] survivors and transport them to safety. >> That's affirmative. Echo 419 staying on >> Mohammer out. The Master Chief and I need some backup. >> Sure. >> All right, moves in. Volunteers, step up
[26:21] on the double. The rest of you, get to the drop ship. Ready to roll. So, we're going to go find some survivors. And on top of that, I've now
[26:34] got a car full of marines. And possibly you're going to be coming in to provide you're going to be coming in to provide air support, my friends. So, okay, get in here. And oh, blime me. This is driving in 2001. Oh, what banana system
[26:48] are we going to be using to like, you know, drive this car. Okay, forwards and backwards. We just turn towards where I'm looking. So, right, just get over it. I was about to say this, but sorry. It's my first day as Master Chief. I'm
[27:04] still figuring out like, you know, how to drive these things. Is that a cliff? That's not a cliff. We're fine. Ah, hang on. We're going down by the Lucy.
[27:17] vehicle. >> This cave is not a natural formation. Someone built it, so it must lead somewhere. Okay, down into the mines. Got us. Okay, get going to be honest. In the tunnels, things didn't go so well.
[27:33] back around. SO, >> MAN DOWN. situation much worse. Yeah, I've just run over one of my own gunners there. Okay, other guy, you get back on the big gun. And
[27:47] >> just killed the guy who actually had lots of health by mistake there. So, wait, hang on. Where was I coming from? Did I come from that direction? I'm completely cocking lost. Okay, just try and get over to here. Cross this little
[28:01] gap. Yeah, there we go. We need you to run up there. You, sir, please don't die run up there. You, sir, please don't die because I'm kind of out of No, no, don't don't flip the thing. Don't flip the thing. Okay, just just I'm going to
[28:15] feel like there's going to be enemies in this direction, not any other. Okay, seriously. Um, please start firing, Tim.
[28:27] firing. Like, >> I'm also going to suggest we don't like, you know, take out literally everybody. All we need to do is Okay, so it turns out [screaming] >> the solution wasn't just to drive past
[28:40] them all. Never mind. We may have to kill them all. Well, in which case, stay over here. You just take out Yeah, that guy. There we go. Possibly you can't to like, you know what, get the enemy behind you and whatnot. Just take out.
[28:57] Right. Amazing. So you're dead already. Just take out your shield. Give you a Just take out your shield. Give you a punch. I see you, friends. Just use a grenade to maybe break your shields. There we go. It was fun having a gun up
[29:12] before I like, you know, killed them and whatnot. And nope. That's you dead. Change out for needler. This looks good. This might lead to like a control room. So hello and right you,
[29:27] my friend. Just take you out. Oh yeah, that'll flipping do that takes out even the big guys if I just get them a point blank range. So okay, get up to the roof blank range. So okay, get up to the roof here. Activate. Yeah, a button. Just out
[29:41] of interest, by the way. Oh no. Once again, I much prefer the original. Like this room was way more dark, ominous, and also legible in the original. Seriously, I'm loving the original so much more in terms of visual style. So,
[29:56] how do I actually interact with it? Okay, I will take care of you in just a Okay, I will take care of you in just a second. Take out LT isn't the cocky game button anymore, John. We don't aim. That's not a thing we do at this point
[30:08] in history. We just use our guns and hope. Oh, there we go. Right button. hope. Oh, there we go. Right button. push thing bridge extends now. Car could cross better and better. Yeah, just get over here
[30:24] and maybe when the enemy inevitably appeared, guys. and then like, you know, hop on the gun, but no, we're fine for now. Okay, so
[30:37] basically I'm going to be doing this entire section by myself at this point. entire section by myself at this point. Still, we've made it out. That's good. Yeah, there were supposed to be like, you know, people we were rescuing
[30:49] So, if we could go in and find them, rescue them, they could start, you know, rescue them, they could start, you know, using the guns in the jeep and whatnot. Get over here. Get over here. Get over here. Can I just ram you guys in my car?
[31:04] Theoretically, yes. But like, you know, some of you Okay, hang on. Hang on. Get Get that get the cocking thing. dead. This is a terrible, terrible place to bait, but it does seem to be sort of working despite the pillar in the way.
[31:19] working despite the pillar in the way. Wave one complete. Get out of you. Kill you, please. There's definitely more over here. Let's take out Yeah. Everyone There's definitely some people around here. So, yeah, just head into the
[31:32] middle of the pipes. Charge this and right, you're dead and you're going to be dead momentarily. Then one quick little Excuse me. Dare to [groaning]
[31:44] punch for you. Excellent. Yeah, that thing doesn't seem to work too well against you guys in many ways. Charge you up. Anything else over here? I can kind of see you, but possibly we're not in range to do much to Never mind.
[31:58] a good shot, you've still got a good shot. So, right, just put some damage over to you guys. We can finish off you guys or at least weaken you right now. Yeah, there's one dead immediately. Drop on down. Reload you. Oh, we've got
[32:13] grenades right now, John. There's the ramp. Hang on. Just go over to other >> Seriously, why did they change the weather and lighting so much in the remaster? That's bloody weird. Oh,
[32:26] there's so many up there. You need to go down. I'm going back into original legible. I can figure out what's going on that way. [screaming] So, no grenade for you. Then one more grenade for you, too. A
[32:40] sticky grenades are good. You explode. Get over to here. My shield's a bit on the low side, so hang back till shield recovers, please. Cuz yeah, for the time being, you can't do anything to me. Reload. I can hear
[32:53] him coming. M. There's not that many that close. So, hang up. There's Oh, that close. So, hang up. There's Oh, health. I do need that. Yes. Thank you. Oh, I just realized, by the way, those guys took the health kits off. Yeah,
[33:06] they were the people I was looking for. So, right, they're dead. If we're lucky, though, there might be. Hang on. There might be one or two. That was not the person I wanted to explode. More grenades. That was a good time for a
[33:19] grenade. Spot on. There might be somebody down bottom. Right, keep on keeping on. Replace you with a new one of these. Reload.
[33:31] of these. Reload. Okay, I'm in a bunker. And I found some friends. >> Okay, this is exceptionally good news because you guys can now Yes. work for me and like, you know, get in my car and
[33:44] whatnot. >> Echo 419 to Cortana. Come in. >> We read you, Echo 419. We have survivors and need immediate dust off. and need immediate dust off. >> Roger, Cortana. On my way. I've spotted
[33:57] additional lifeboats in your area. One near a rock slide and another near the head of the river. Hard to see from my altitude, but it looks like there are more survivors. >> Acknowledged. We're on our way.
[34:13] >> Okay, so I think the civilians are being airlifted out. The Marines are staying with me. Honestly, yeah, that kind of works for me. So, okay, I've now got people actually working the guns in my vehicle. All right, just keep on keeping
[34:29] on. Just headed this direction. Sorry, I'm still not very used to this vehicle. Oh. Oh, this will do. Shoot those guys. Please shoot those guys with your massive overwhelming cannon. Yeah, this is working. This is working right now.
[34:45] This feels nice and badass. [screaming] Yes. Just take Uh-oh. Oh, guys, we got Oh, bloody hell. Right. Well, that's that's one person dead. Don't slow down too much. Yes, there will be certain issues with uh grenades
[35:00] being tossed into my car. Would you guys like to come and sit in my car? By the Just >> for beautiful new passenger. So, right, I see you guys over there. Just slide down
[35:15] the hill into you immediately. Collide with something back away. Take you out. Okay, so I'm not even doing the gutting anymore. That's Sorry. I'm really struggling with the trees actually. >> So yeah, you guys just get over there.
[35:32] I'm trying to reposition as best we can. It's a little bit of a weird driving system, my friend. It's all right. You get over here. Take out you. Take out you as well. I'm going to hop out. You
[35:46] guys stay here and like just keep supporting me from the car if you be so right. Just toss a grenade over there. That's fine. Beautiful. Oh, bloody hell. little bit on the wrong side potentially. So, just just just take out
[36:01] this idiot, right? Take out you as well. And guys, where's my cocking support? Did you get out of the bloody car? Just cuz I did. Okay. Well, apparently Master
[36:13] Chief jumped off a cliff. The rest of these are marine idiots would as well. Oh, here's good news, by the way. I found some more Marines. No, no, don't don't cooking. No, don't evacuate. I kind of need you guys to replace the
[36:27] marines that keep bloody dying. You could go in the passenger seat cuz you've got like anyone remember where I parked the bloody car cuz I'm not sure where the bloody car is anymore. Okay, I've found
[36:40] the car. I've got sniper rifle man. We got someone in the gunner seat as well. Just check. Make sure we keep the speed up. There's enemies we've got exploded. bloody hell. Hear that? >> Okay, Sniper Man is getting the cocking
[36:57] job done. You guys are kicking ass taken down. Well done. Oh, speaking of which, we've got cocking reinforcements coming in. So, right, you guys just shoot the [ __ ] out of this big ship and we'll just get straight past you. Run over that guy
[37:12] get straight past you. Run over that guy with a shield. Spin around so you can't do much. And Oh. Oh, yeah. These guys get the job done. >> That's the last of them. Roger that. I'm on my way.
[37:25] >> New traffic on the Covenant battle. I found Captain Keys. He's being held on a public cruiser. The Truth and Reconciliation. A ship I disabled before we abandoned the Otto. The Truth and Reconciliation touched
[37:39] down on a desert plateau roughly 300 km up spin. get out of here. >> Welcome aboard, Master Chief. Ready for dust off. Is this literally all the people I rescued over the course of the
[37:53] level? Like six people. >> Oh, that feels like a really low number. Yeah. This video, by the way, is dedicated to the 77 million brave conf. >> The enemy has captured Captain Keys and
[38:08] are holding him aboard one of their cruisers, the truth and reconciliation. The ship is currently holding position approximately 300 m above the other end of this plateau. So, how do we get inside the ship if
[38:20] it's in the air? The core issued me a rifle, not wings. >> There's a gravity lift that varies troops and supplies between the ship and the surface. That's our ticket in. >> Once we get inside the ship, I should be
[38:32] able to lock on to the tracking signal from Captain Key's neural implants. >> Get a marines. Go, go, go. The core ain't paying us by the hour. We should be able to recon the Covenant position without being spotted. I've
[38:47] guns near the next pass. I recommend using your sniper rifle to take out the gunners while I call for Marine support. >> Get ready to move in to support us, going to covertly take out as many of the Covenant as he can. Don't open fire
[39:02] until you hear the enemy return fire on us. That should let us keep the elephant of surprise. >> Okay, so it's now night. Is it still night in the remake? Cuz that might have changed. Seriously, why is everything so
[39:16] much brighter in the remake? This is literally supposed to be a nighttime mission. It's supposed to be proper dark. Going to be honest, guys. I'm not dark. Going to be honest, guys. I'm not 100% feeling good about my chances of
[39:29] That was the wrong button. Does anyone know what the Hang on. What's the button to go into my scope? I'M SO SORRY. IT'S MY first day with a sniper rifle. And also, I'm from 25 years in the future, so I just kind of assume that holding
[39:42] down left trigger is going to go into scope mode on like, you know, a flipping sniper rifle. That's That's reloading. Any minute now, we'll figure it out. Oh, hang on. I figured it out. I figured it. It's a bit late to figured it out. I'm
[39:57] really sorry cuz all of you guys are going to die now. But that's going to be a constant thing with the No. There we go. I figured it out. Although now you guys are just running away and whatnot. I'm going to try and make it up
[40:10] to you by taking out some of these stupid losers. Turret or something that know that's probably Oh, bloody. >> Let's go. Come on. >> In many ways, I feel like you shouldn't have trusted me with the sniper rifle.
[40:24] No. Go, go. >> So, right this time, yeah, what we need to do, let's go into night vision mode. Take out the person manning the gun turret first.
[40:40] Now, are you guys going to be like upset about that? Cuz there was definitely about that? Cuz there was definitely another gun turret over here, right? That's that's your head. I'm like 90% sure. So,
[40:56] okay, that's just that. So, okay, I think I see what's going on now. think I see what's going on now. You're a high priority target. Next up, people's shields are high priority
[41:10] targets. Cocking missed. Okay, now you guys can come in and assist. Okay, I feel like I've done the line share of the work on this occasion. That's fine.
[41:22] Just out of interest, by the way. Can I have a Okay, so those stationary guns, have a Okay, so those stationary guns, they're my cooking stationary guns now. Lovely. And now, as a result of that, we can just hold our position here and mow
[41:38] can just hold our position here and mow down the bastards as they come. Spot on. Still, I would say figured out how both sniper rifles and gun turrets work. How about we wrap things up there? This here is two separate versions of a Halo
[41:53] is two separate versions of a Halo Combat Evolved. And okay, 100% you can feel this game's age. It's a little bit clunky and old school and whatnot, but as you know, a 25year-old arcadey shooter, it does hold up pretty nicely.
[42:07] Like I can understand how people still have great fondness for this. So yes, indeed, 25 years on and still a very much worth a look. I'd say a link to this version of the game down in the description below. Yes, as for me, maybe
[42:20] time. Maybe I'll give a loop to the new version, a campaign evolved, I think it's called. But yes, indeed, who knows? Having finally dipped my toe in the water. Maybe, just a maybe, some point
[42:32] from the Halo franchise in some way or another. So, let me know if you'd be interested. And we shall flipping see. But in the meantime, I has been many a true nerd, and this has been the
[42:44] fascinating Halo Combat Evolved. Thank you very much and goodbye. WAIT, WAIT. AND FLAMETHROWER. FLAMETHROWER. FLAMETHROWER. FLAMETHROWER.
[42:59] OKAY, so this is this is definitely morally questionable. At the point where you start singing the flamethrower song, potentially you've flamethrower song, potentially you've gone over the
