Halo 3 tells a rather simple story on the surface, but hidden beneath the surface lies a secret, cryptic and creepy story – and today, we analyze that story. Join me as we analyze the secret story HIDDEN in Halo 3!

I poured a TONNE of effort into making this video as immersive as possible and I was really proud of the result, so I really hope you guys enjoy! <3
Thats awesome man. I kinda hope that we can see a reset of the main halo games. The reset takes place at the librarian mission and showcases glimpses of halo 5 and infinite as a bad route. And a good route option would showcase chief saving cortana hand help her realize that she doesn't actually have rampancy she only thinks she does so she behaves that way. Chief saves herfrom disappearing. The new version of halo 5 takes place with chief and blue team helping the arbiter against the covenant remnant then they encounter the banished. And the new version of halo 6 leads with us following the banished to zeta halo because they seek to unlock a "special weapons cache" that is the endless but redefine them as a lesser reformed precursor race that is definitely weaker than their original counterparts but they chose to become a sentient race that can still interact with forerunner tech but doesn't have the godlike power their former incarnations did. They are still the endless but they and the banished are our foes for halo 6. Then we have humanity and the swords of sanhelios vs the banished and endless as a fully fledged group but halfway through humanities coalition and the endless both get a clear message that reads "the time for the test for the mantle will begin soon prepare and succeed or suffer and be consumed. Then we get a flood outbreak to happen so we have the remainder of the game be an all-out war with us concluding it by wiping out the endless banished contingent as well as the flood. Then we have a temporary stop of main line games for a few side games. These can take place at any time between before the human-forruner war and the halo 7 game. Be it offshoot games small adventures of side characters or anything like that. Then halo 8 would be a main line game focusing on humanities test for the mantle of responsibility that has both perspectives from Chief and the arbiters perspective as someone fighting for his survival. It would be cool to make that a game focusing on the ground combat against the flood.
Please hidden if someone advertised about this kind of plot line we might be able to save the current plot of halo from destruction
Bungie really were the masters of instilling dread through text.
Definitely the cornerstone of Marathon and Halo.
Reminds me of epistle 3 a bit too in terms of feeling.
Was pleasantly surprised to see you using 360 footage which still has the images that the MCC version doesn't show due to not supporting the .blf filetype. Even C3 Sabertooth's video neglected to show them. Funnily enough I actually found a cut image suggesting a cut eighth terminal existed at one point
i thought the 6:1 ration was after the halos fired since mendicant bias fleet was most civilian ships and therefore unarmed, after the flood died from the halos offensive bias was able to cut down his fleet so quick
Hey you think there could be a possibility of Halo 7 coming to PS5 since Infinite is?
I never really knew these terminal stories. Thank you for sharing. It does seem like Halo 4 and 5's plots were taking the next logical direction based on this, even if I didn't really care for them. I did like Cortana's rampancy and I thought it would take the story in an interesting direction, especially if it mirrors a mendicant bias situation
I've been hearing the word sikth more lately and I don't understand if it's a misunderstanding of how to pronounce the word sixth or if it's something else entirely I'm unaware of.

Halo, Mass Effect, Star Trek, Stargate, and Star Wars (Heir to the Empire) were science fiction, which meant military, maths, accounting, trading card statistics, and role playing manuals. Magic space fantasy star roads powered by neurons that slice through planets with boring explanations are Lovecraftian horror/fantasy, written by 'hard and harder working man's science fiction writers' and aren't meant to be taken seriously.
Imagine if the Forerunners were the Elites all along…
love ur t shirt.
Engaging
You should do a video about the AI that supposedly controls all the events in the halo lore
wait, MB sent Chief to Requiem?! oh boy I have a lot more research to do… I thought I had half a clue beyond the end of H3 but I guess I really don't.
I didn’t make the connection that these terminals are basically a form of Analog Horror
Dude this is the content that made your channel what it is, glad to see it return. “Like the tides, I ebb & flow”
Hey everyone, I don't like doing this but there is no other way to get the message out there. I recently published a video on my channel detailing 343 things wrong with 343 INDUSTRIES. I would love if you all would check it out and possibly get the attention of these larger creators. I put a lot of effort into it. : )
Hearing you break this down really contextualizes Halo 4 for me and has redeemed it in a way as it was my least favorite in the series, sans the heartbreaking ending. I might just pick it up again, see the story through a new lens.
Gets a Like for linguistic genius, lol
This video is one of my favorite lore breakdowns! I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to your video coming in the beginning of June.
Just another random nobody begging for their share of the clicks.
2 and 3 is won story
I don’t need “Banished Spartans” I need classic halo lore
Of course, you know that the "[…]" brackets denotes words that cannot be translated and were thus replaced by your translation AI as the next best human thing it can find, right? Thus Alexandria and Maginot, which are not aliens names in the least. Just thought it would have been nice from you to mention these since it's a nod to how Marathon did its alien translations.
Hey everyone, I dont have any other way to get the message out there, but i recetly uploaded a video on my channel detailing 343 reasons why 343 INDUSTRIES Sucks. I put a lot of effort into it and I hope to get the attention of larger creators to help spread the word. Please give it a watch if youre interested : )
Boomer video
"Premature collapse of stars" sounds familiar!
I do want to ask to anyone that knows….does the librarian locking up the didact fit within the context of halo3 terminals?
To be honest, I didn't understand ANY of this when Halo 3 came out, but now I think it's really great. This aged really well and it's probably the best world-building you'll find in a FPS game, or any kind of action game for that matter.
It is clear why 343 centered The Forerunner Saga and Halo 4 around these terminals. It's good stuff.
Ngl the Didacts last words got me. Really brings down the awful grand galactic scale of the forerunner-flood war and “humanizes” the experience to the individual and the impacts the war had beyond the battlefields.
I tried to watch this but got annoyed with the constant ads and sponsors and ended up watching something else. I hope you made a lot of money from this.
It is similar to the Orokin's lore in Warframe.
Mendicant bias collapsing the portal for chief to meet the didact holy fuck I never knew that and it’s been almost 20 years
I highly highly recommend C3 sabertooth’s video “We were forerunner all along” please please please watch it and give us your thoughts. I personally agree with him.
A crossover I’d love to see is a conversation between the gravemind and harbinger from mass effect
Im forgetting it but what was the reason the Didact was never cured of the logic plague?
they should make battlebit but like a halo variation
Are you darkviper au
[I am] Alexandria, before the fire. That is such a raw line, man the writers of Halo really had some poets on their team.
Fantastic video
Halo 4 and onward could have been SO much better if they just leaned heavy into the lore and revealed that the Flood have spread much farther than anyone ever expected. They could have built the stakes up even higher than Halo 3.
"inconsistencies…because of what comes after them." That's called "retconning", and it's gross.
Man… Names that repeat letters/pronunciation are a bitch.
"Fore-Runner" keeps sounding like "Foreigner".
Edit: Other than that, great vid.
28:38 Then it is an even fight.
Have they ever thought of using a good- ole "Flamethrower?"for the Flood.😊
343 made lore? They cant even make a game i want to play. Lok!
Maybe there is not a logic plague, but just truth.
Anything 343 puts out is not cannon
