History of Halo (1990 - 2022) | Documentary

(Corrections listed below) This video was a fun one to put together. So much of this series I got to experience for the first time (Halo wars 1 and 2 in particular were a lot of fun!) As stated, this video was primarily recorded on an AMD PC with the halo infinite LE 6900xt gpu. Thank you AMD for hooking me up! Theres also footage of the original xbox releases to give you a better idea of what these classics used to look like. I also want to thank EpicMusicTrailerUK for providing a fantastic opening piece to accompany the intro. And latenightgaming for providing many hidden easter eggs throughout the video ;) Enjoy!! Corrections: -Arbiter in Halo Wars is not the same one from Halo 2/3. What I meant to say is Halo Wars gives players insight into what the Arbiter was doing prior to the Halo saga, as in the Arbiter position - not the character commonly referred to as the Arbiter. -Halo Wars released in 2009 not 2003. -In Halo 2, Chief and Johnson are being awarded for events that occur in one of the novels, not the destruction of Installation 004 -I keep getting some comments claiming that the ring in the title sequence is reversed. It is not. Though it apparently is an optical illusion for some people which I find interesting. -343 Industries* not interactive. Said interactive once or twice by mistake

Was waiting for history of Halo since I discovered this channel few years ago and now I see its over 2 hours long. Thank you, Nick!

It can't be overstated the impact that Halo had. It was the biggest leap in gaming since someone hit a rock with a stick

Man that Halo Theme music is so damn nostalgic it almost brings me to tears every time it plays. Seriously some of the best times in my life was playing Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and Reach. They gave memories I will never ever forget.

This is a great insight to one of the most revolutionary video game franchises ever conceived, well done on the video my guy!

The first time I fought the Flood, I was scared shitless and freaked out as well. Great series even with its ups and downs. In your history video Nick930, you can almost feel what the guys at 343 are feeling with each decision they make. The Halo Wars series is, in my opinion, underrated and needs a third sequel to its great story, plus I love RTS games, Red Team and the Spirit of Fire crew. Campaign DLC for free.

Makes me sad realizing another perfect storm is needed to create another masterpiece like this

Am I the only who absolutely loved each and every step the game made? Like this game grew and it made bold choices that have us STILL playing it. I love it

Aside from a few minor details you stated incorrectly this is an amazingly made documentary. You piece everything together so well. Exceedingly job well done.

Glad you're back with a new banger of an episode. Missed you Nick.

Master Chief and The Arbiter back to back... goosebumps!

This is one of the most complete and beautiful gaming history video. Thank you for existing Nick.

My friend bought his Xbox the night it was released. I was so excited. I remember going to school the next day, and all i could think of was playing Halo all weekend. That Friday night, like an hour after we got outa school. We played all night until the next morning. Throughout the weekend, we probably played a solid 30+ hours.

Yes! Was waiting for this. Whether you watch in pieces or one sitting there is no denying the depth and great production of these. Well done!

This is fantastic! I love the level of detail you went into! It’s so interesting to see how all the different game devs came up with ideas. I really liked the part where they slapped together random theme music right before that demo and that’s what became so well known. Amazing.

Halo is my all-time favourite gaming franchise! When the first Halo game came out on the original Xbox, I played that game non-stop! Thank you for this!

The most hard working channel I've seen so far, and yet only 464K subscribers. What a shame.

Nice job getting all that early info and footage of pre Halo game builds - nowhere else do I learn more about how the biggest videogame franchises came to be than on a free channel done by one guy. That’s really pretty crazy and big credit to you Nick

This is no kidding the best recap of Halo I’ve seen, the way you used music, pause and sound to tell the story it’s magnificent! Excellent job!!

I’m in my mid thirties now and in the last few years I got into online gaming. Over the course of that time, I’ve made a bunch of friends and reconnected with others via headsets and controllers. It’s absolutely incredible. If you would have told me that online gaming was going to look like this when I was getting extra credit in my tech class for making RJ45 cables to use for the Halo CE LAN party my mom graciously let me throw in my garage (often supplying gringo tacos and brownies), I would have cackled at how absurd the future sounded. It was really a shock to play an FPS 20ish years later when I jumped into CoDWW2 and shortly after buying that, MW2019. You kids shredded the dude who dominated the garage… lmao! I’m never at the top of the leader board anymore but the fun is just as real as it was in Blood Gulch! Thanks for this!
