The “mildly sociopathic” line always made sense to me. You take a bunch of kids, give em military training, one day a kid goes a little ballistic on a training instructor and maims them or worse, and then the kid, and every kid watching, gets reassured that that was perfectly okay and they aren’t in trouble? Of course that’s gonna breed mildly sociopathic tendencies.

Halsey always refers to the Spartans by their names. She also is capable of identifying any of them even in identical armor based purely on body language (which annoys the Spartans because no one else can)

FINALLY SOMEONE APRECIATES THE HALO 4 MENU THEME 1:03

Ah yes, the most emotional (in my opinion) entry in the series. The characterization between our two leads is incredible in this game.

Dr Halsey is definitely one of the most divisive figures in the series. Even the authors for the books disagree on how other view her, some softer, some harder

I personally agree with her, but that’s just me

Fun fact: ( unless someone else brought it up already) i read that the 4 years, 7 months, and 10 days that John was out was the same time between halo 3 and 4. We had to wait all that time to see these 2 again!

The visuals look soooo good for 2012 if I remember right 343 had to pull off some technical wizardry to make it even run on the Xbox 360

Halo 4! Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Time to see the movie Forward Unto Dawn!

The story of Halo 4 means a lot to me right now. I won’t go into detail why. Stepping into the shoes of Master Chief has filled me with inspiration in the past. And lately I just feel lot of grief in my own life. My family is helping me, but I feel so lost and hopeless. Halo is still inspirational to me. But I literally can’t type this with out tears in my eyes. I am not a soldier either, but this story finds a way to connect us all. Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey. Stay blessed and soldier on!

Halo 4 is definitely the play through I was most excited to watch!

I absolutely adore Halo 4, it has the most emotional story in the entire Halo series imo, and Jen Taylor does such an amazing job as both Cortana and Halsey

Cortana has a HUGE*cough cough* personality this game

This intro is already better than the Paramount Halo series, crazy

Just thought I'd let you know that some of Halo 4's music (I believe the tracks by Neil Davidge) can get your video demonitized. It's really weird, seeing as it's the only music from Halo that has that issue. Just in case you didn't know:)

Now, let's dive in 😎

Glad you were enjoying the music before starting. IMO halo 4 and 5 have very underrated soundtracks

After that line "dont make a girl a promise you know you cant keep" immediate teary eyed 40:12  😭😭😭😭

That theme sounds both very futuristic and incredibly ancient

10:43 I love the implication that at some point in the last 4 years Cortana got bored enough to rewrite and update John's armor firmware and even make a UI for him

Loved the music here in H4

The Halo 4 theme gives me so many chills on so many levels. Its incredible
