IGN: Halo In Five Minutes

Catch up on the epic story before you play ODST.

Spoilers ahead!

[KingKionic]

LOL @ the end of video .

[Eamon]

Yeah, I'm hoping that the next Halo game after Reach will follow up the ending of Halo 3.
Although I doubt Bungie will work on another Halo until the next xbox comes out.

[KingKionic]

Yeah...halo 4 wont come till next xbox .

It will be a launch title .

[Turn 10 Studios]

Halo is the God of FPS

just like Forza is Teh God Of Racing Sim

[Pandamobile]

You sound like a 12 year old whose first gaming system was the Xbox 360.

You can't possibly think that.

[Panthers]

Its cool seeing the whole story like that. Especially since Ive only played Halo 1 & 2. I REALLY want to play Halo Wars and Halo 3, but I need a 360.

[jjohan35]

I always felt the AI in the Halo games were a bit brainless. Just massive waves of enemy AI.

The two things I will always give props to Bungie: 1. Amazing soundtrack in every game they produced in the Halo franchise. 2. The expansive battlefield during combat.

[Montrealien]

Halo is one hell of a solid franchise, and ODST does not dissapoint. Bungie sure know how to make a compeling shooter, at least I think so.

[RockmanII7]

"You listen to what he has to say, then you kill him to death"

I found this funny

[ReservoirDog316]

Makes me want to replay Halo 1. I haven't played it in years.

[shadow2797]

I only ever played Halo games at friends' houses, so story wasn't very important at the time. It's interesting to see this. However, it's still very complicated, especially due to the short time constraint. I think after a couple more views, I may actually understand it though.

I loved the tongue-in-cheek humor in this though. Especially the end. Haha.

[ShadowCK]

Excellent Video. Very informative and helpful.

Obviously this will help the people who have not played any of the previous Halo games.

[XLiveGamer]

NOW PLEASE GIVE ME A MOVIE!

Ok i have an assignment for everybody.

Watch this and pay close attention to it: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Did you notice the difference in graphics?

Go back and take a look at 0:50/1:00

Does this trailer have something to do with REACH? because The whole trailer have nothing to do with HALO 3 or ODST.

[TheAntiFanboy]

I love the Halo franchise. Thus, I will say this.

WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?

The story stopped making any sense when Halo 2 came out. Sorry Bungie, I don't like your trilogy, but thanks for at least going to Reach, since the books were awesome.

[Shepherd 214]

The story to the Halo series is amazing. Its a space opera story, and is becoming as deep as the star wars universe. Compelling music from Marty O'Donnell just like John Williams. Epic story that has multiple, intertwining characters, just like the star wars films. Unique and beautiful artistic design, just like star wars. Several novels and comics to expand the background story of the Halo universe, just like star wars.

Its a great universe, i cant wait for Reach and ODST. It amazes me how different it is from star wars though, and thats good that they tried to be different. Its kinda like how Uncharted tries really hard to be different from Indiana Jones, and pretty much pulls it off.

[kalebgray92]

kinda repetitive .... mass effect 2 has a wayyyy better deep space story... but then again halo is known for is gameplay and multiplayer so whatever

[Shepherd 214]

Yea well you probably havent read the novels either, or if i asked, you probably wouldnt be able to explain hardly anything i asked you about the story. Only the people who dont really understand it dont appreciate it. Thats ok though, it is the video game world you cant expect the same kind of intelligence you get from the film world.

[militant07]

wow pretty complicated,

i dodnt know HALO had a big story like this ( didnt play HALO 2 nor Halo Wars )

[KingKionic]

lol yup...

Tis was from halo wars...

[ShabzS]

love that cutscene... shows why you shouldnt mess with a spartan

[RSX]

That scene was pretty badass

[cereal_killa]

IGN: Halo In Five Minutes : I thought this game was suppose to be like 4-5 hours long this only took them 5 minutes to finish I KID I KID!!!

[KingKionic]

ROFL!

[MajorJackHoff]

Halo: In 5 seconds.

You turn it on.
You Shoot some aliens and drive around.
You beat the game and then play multiplayer for awhile.
The end.

[kaveti6616]

Gears of War 1 & 2
Resistance 1 @ 2
Half-Life 1,2, Episode 1 & 2
Killzone 1 & 2
Doom 1,2,3
Quake 1,2,3,4

[Timesplitter14]

Yeah well Half-Life goes a little deeper than that.

There's science n' stuff. Also physics puzzles

[Montrealien]

lol @ Half life goes "deeper"

they are shooters ffs, what are we expecting here?

give us interesting characters, good story, solid shooting and great action. If you don't like any of the above, avoid shooters all together.

The end.

[IQUITN4G]

While probably a joke, this is exactly why people have such a daft and ill informed ignorant opinion of it - they haven't played it long enough to have the first clue from their first impressions

At a glance it looks to play just like any other shooter of it's type but there is real depth past it's initial arcade style play

Halo is quite easily the best game of it's type

[Funky Town_TX]

and don't forget fun. We play LAN parties for hours on Halo. The best of times. We have one planned at work in October. 100" HD screens, 4 people per console with 4 consoles. I can't wait.

[Saaking]

FAIL

[TheXgamerLive]

More ps3 wannabe spamers, I am schocked that these losers keep showing up on everything Xbox.

Seriously, can't you find just 1 ps3 game worth playing?

[Saaking]

@above
lol, says the guy with 3 bubbles.

[JonnyBadfinger]

he has 3 bubble cause of f*ckwits like you, trolling around 360 articles, de-bubbleing gamers cause they own a 360.

I made a fake PS3 fanboy account on this site and it already has 8 bubbles!, so the proof that the droids are actually retarded is confirmed. which leads me to my next question, just how immature is the PS3 community?

Try and figure out which is my PS3 account. its right under your nose and you cant see it.

[Saaking]

You heard that mods? The guy admits having duplicate accounts which is against the rules. BAN HIM!!!! LOL.

[AngryTypingGuy]

He makes a point. The PS3 fanboys on this site are very petty and immature for the most part.

[BubbleSniper]

xbox in 1 second

0..fail 2 3 4 5

[IQUITN4G]

Hilarious panda, what wit sir

[Oadif]

That wasnt strategy, that is just how your supposed to play in every coop game

[IQUITN4G]

Wow comedy at it's finest

Why you hanging around in here with us losers when you could be touring

[whothedog]

Click Agree if you will play this game
Click Disagree if you are going to pass.

Vote Now!

[KingKionic]

hmm...
Choices...choices...

*slowly clicks agree*

[Montrealien]

I chose neither since there was no choice for "I am playing this game".

[read disc error]

[RockmanII7]

Green ranger was and is a pimp

[Tr10wn]

So master chief was the bad ass power ranger uh yea

[silkrevolver]

.....(=

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

WHAT!! that's the story of the game that all these X-BUTTS hype up?

That has got to be the most childish lamest story I've ever heard in my life.

At least Power Rangers does a better job.

[DonCorneo]

the thing is you can't play your xbox for more than 3 before it RRODs.

LMAO!!1!

[Ace_Pheonix]

I love how the entirety of 3.2 games can be summed up in 5 minutes. Of course it is, in fact, Halo we are talking about here. So I guess it's not THAT surprising. Story? What story? I hate books and don't want to play a movie or anything that resembles intelligence, just give me a gun and let me shoot stuff with colors! And where's my ritalin!?! Just kidding... sort of. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I'm just glad I'm not that two dimensional.

[infamous_27]

I bet I can sumarize it in one word: boring.

or maybe: PowerRangers.

[Shadow Man]

Ooooh... ohhh Yeah!!
The biggest the biggest icon in Gaming.
