The Ultimate Halo: Combat Evolved Critique
Jump to Connections
137,901 Views • Jun 16, 2023 • Click to toggle off description
Halo: Combat Evolved, released in 2001 on Xbox by Bungie, is one of the best and most influential first-person shooters ever released.

I couldn’t stop playing Halo: Combat Evolved back in 2001, and all these years later I haven’t been able to stop writing about Master Chief's maiden outing either.

This video is a supercut of much of that work, a detailed, level-by-level analysis of Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign from beginning to end.

I like to think that Chief killed the marines in the pod during the crash because he wasn't sitting and bounced around inside, crushing everyone else.

A 2 hour Halo CE critique? I’m interested 🔥

You are right about Bungie's intentions of the Forerunners being Humans! The original storyboards for Halo 2's ending shows the Arbiter uncovering some Forerunner remains in a tomb, which is revealed to be a Human skeleton. I have always enjoyed the way Bungie portrayed the Forerunners and implied the connection between them and humanity, as it gives the story a sort of cyclical nature that ties into other circle metaphors found throughout the rest of the series, like the Halo rings themselves

For the fate of the Marines on Silent Cartographer, you hear what happens to them over the radio. They notify you that more Covenant drop ships are in bound. Cortana will tell them to try to get inside the building you’re in but they’ll respond that the drop ships are closing in too fast. They say they’ll hold off the Covenant as long as they can, but it’s evident through the tone of the transmission that it’ll be a last stand. Cortana ends the transmission with, “Give them hell Marines.” She’ll then proceed to tell you that you need to leave before more Covenant reinforcements arrive.

For all of my countless playthroughs of this all-time great game, I never knew you could take the elevator back up to the surface and see dead Marines pre-Flood reveal on 343 Guilty Spark.

one of the things I adore about those first 3 levels of Combat Evolved is that it wordlessly introduces players to the 4 kinds of Covenant Infantry and their specific roles. First, in Pillar of Autumn, the player encounters the core of the Covenant's ground force: Elites and Grunts. Leaders and Fodder. Next, in Halo, Jackals are introduced to the fold, acting as shock troopers, scouts, and snipers with their Point Defense Gauntlets, lastly in Truth and Reconcilliation: Hunters, the Heavy Infantry. by separating the Covenant species like this, it gives the player a chance to somewhat safely figure out each enemy's core combat loop.

The one issue I have with 343 Guilty Spark, The Library, and Two Betrayals, is that if Cortana had just taken thirty seconds to explain what she found, a lot of trouble, as well as the argument that starts Two Betrayals, could have been avoided.

I remember playing this game for the first time on PC back in like 2005 or so. The multiplayer online was absolutely incredible.

You made me realize how much of a barbarian I was for not paying attention to environmental storytelling. I'm glad my eyes are open b/c now I can't help but notice it in other games too

Combat Evolved was my first FPS game and I still go back to play it every now and again. Thank you for making this video 🙏🏻

I really enjoyed the circular style of the different chapters. Pillar of Autumn / The Maw Truth & Reconciliation / Keyes Assault on The Control Room / Two Betrayals 343 Guilty Spark / The Library* These are all arguably the same places* but with different objectives and slightly different level design.

The lighting effects were so amazing for 2001; the scintillating light from plasma fire or muzzle flash reflecting off of the walls/surroundings was incredible.

the pillar of autumn also teaches you how to climb ladders with prompt instructions on the bridge.

42:55 this is actually explained how they died! During your progress through the map room section underground you get a radio call from those marines that an overwhelming amount of Covenant dropships are inbound and Cortana advises them to take cover in the structure but they then reply that there isn't time and will hold them off as long as possible to buy Chief time to find the Cartographer.

You should make videos that deep dive into the different enemy types, and how they changed along with each game. Like a video for grunts a video for Jackal’s, a video for hunters.

I remember getting this back in 2001. Was blown away. It’s hard to appreciate these days but back then there was nothing else like it at the time.
