27:50 my two best friends and I used to use “Undid Iridium” as a way of saying “Dude just do what I said and trust me, I’ll explain later”. We were all military kids and every other kid thought it was some secret military thing but we were just huge nerds 😂😂

This was a good story, and actually the only logical and natural direction for the series moving forward. Instead of there being a new existential threat to humanity every 5 minutes, the post-war scenario really WOULD be a battle over forerunner scraps.

Remember when we complained about this story?

I know this is a predictable comment but this is the halo show we could have had. Lore and action without the bs

all that story building just to end up throwing it away. fireteam mode was literally the best idea ever created for gamers and they threw it away. I never get to keep the good stuff.. Welp.. Thats life.. thats what the people say

4:53 This scene had no business going THAT hard

“If those freaks want to meet god… it’s our DUTY to help them along!” Palmer was unlikeable, but a good character from a narrative standpoint. An ODST who now is a little too cocky about being a Spartan, but still able to back it up

So halo 5's original story was supposed to continue from this. Halsey would still be with Jul, and Master chief, due to what happened with Cortana and going against the UNSC's orders, would go after her. ONI would paint him as a traitor to humanity, and deploy spartan locke (and his team?) to capture him. Locke, who would either have been with or met up with the Arbiter, would be told by him to look past ONI's propaganda and see the chief as a hero he truly is (this is shown in the halo 2 anniversary trailer, where locke is looking at chief's footage). Eventually, Halsey would use the key to find and awaken the Guardians, which would wreak havoc across the galaxy like at the end of H5. Then, in the ending cutscene, they would jump to an unidentified halo ring, where it would be revealed that the DIdact, who survived, had been pulling the strings behind everything all along.

Instead, we got some comics, halo 5's story...and halo infinite.

Spartan Ops was hated cus it was treated like a second campaign when it was basically just firefight on multiplayer maps… but this exact formula would have been perfect for the defense of the Spartan academy in Halo Infinite. Firefight matches with campaign level cutscenes and cinematics that follow a linear storyline

Halo 4 was great with the loadout customization but still keeping the OP weapons like the grav hammer or rocket launcher drop only.

Last decent ok halo imo

I'm happy I got to experience and appreciate spartan ops when it came out. Loved it and still do.

LISTEN We, the players who grew up with the echo of a DMR shot, with the scars of Reach in our souls and the honor of the Master Chief as our banner, raise our voices  TO HAVE A BETTER HALO 🥀🙏

if they had combined spartan ops story with something akin to warzone firefight with lots of vehicles for halo infinite, along with a similar campaign gameplay structure, i'd play it all day long

Spartan Ops is amazing. One of 2 times in main series when you play as your own Spartan and actually have a greater effect. Hearing Commander Palmer mention “Crimson” for the first time in here… made me smile.

30:59 imagine if Master Chief knew Halsey was on this ship and no one told him, he would rip the ship apart

I really like how the spartans actually like using the energy swords, even though in game no one cares about them

Me think thiz film iz fantaztik me love all the characterz in thiz film so excited about thiz film wonderful movie so fabulouz enjoy.

Man i remember being so excited for each new episode

These people AREN’T Spartans. Just humans in fancy armor, there’s a difference.

I've been a Halo nerd since 2001, and watching this makes me feel the same way Avengers: Endgame did. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again!
