    When you first played Halo were you blinded by its majesty?
  • @borism7615
    The Earth is round The Earth is flat The Earth is a cube The Earth is a ring
  • The characters in the game written incredibly well, they even get you to care about a pelican pilot with no backstory or character model. RIP Echo 419, Foe Hammer.
  • @thundageon5962
    Who would've thought a 19 year old game has better AI than Cyberpunk
  • @superdave54811
    When the Master Chief removes his helmet, there is another helmet.
  • “Is Halo: Combat Evolved a masterpiece?” Is a carrot a vegetable?
  • @jv-man3698
    So many don’t understand that CE redefined everything about the FPS. It was mind blowing to see it for the first time. You knew that it was going to create a genre all to itself.
  • @Digspig
    14:09 “...that turn the gameplay into a sort of dance...” Yes. A Covenant Dance.

    I recently finished playing CE with a friend of mine that had never played a Halo game before. He was incredibly impressed by the simple fact that grunts ran away when stuck with plas grenades, but elites ran towards you. Simple things like that is what makes CE incredible. It's crazy that this game came out 19 years ago.
  • Just finished my first playthough and my god the rocket launcher flood enemies got me so many times. Got to say tho it still holds up today I’m impressed
  • Me watching this in 2021: “that’s why it holds up 20 years later”
  • @CaptainSugarr
    My computer class teacher left this on the computers for us to find and he let us play that shit for hours if he liked our test scores. That guy made all of us interested in that class and we all passed with As just because he let us play CE with each other
  • @double1777
    I loved how the flood actually weren’t just dumb zombies. Yeah, their ai was rather simplistic, mainly just swarm ai but more complex, but I think their spawn areas are what makes them feel intelligent. They constantly surround you in the Library, and in the mission Keyes they drop from openings in the ceiling. It’s great.
  • @cutler_beckett
    25:10 Strategy? Basically… 1. Use shotgun on flood 2. Use assault rifle on flood spores and any leftovers 3. Throw grenades at rocket flood
  • @dr.loomis4221
    I remember being wowed by the grass textures in this game back in 2001. You could see individual blades! It was nuts!
  • @TheSlayer117
    "Maybe nobody is home" Few seconds later: "CONTACT! LOTS OF CONTACT!" Still my fav moment of the game. I wanna play the game again now
  • @firstlast6437
    The people who complain about Halo CE levels being repeated must have had an aneurysm when playing ODST
  • @MrFrog-yg9dp
    I didn't grow up playing Halo, but I started playing the MCC to get ready for Infinite. Let me say that playing Halo 1's campaign was the most enriching and frustrating experiences I've had in gaming.
