The Doomed Dog
  • 2 days ago
Hey everyone. Dalton and I finally got around to recording more episodes of Let's Play Halo 2. We're doing a coop Let's Play of the PC version of Halo 2 that was included with the Master Chief Collection. Unlike my typical Let's Play series. I will not be doing a video review of this game after it is done because I ahve already done that. I did an in depth analysis of it years ago, but this is DAlton's first time playing this game. He's never really sat down and played through the Halo series before, which is one big reason why we are doing it for the channel. Other than that, they are just fun to coop. I am always looking for games to coop for the channel. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy.

The song at the end is Secret of the Stars by Aloha

Transcript
00:00Hello, everyone, and welcome to Let's Play Halo 2. This is episode 3. I am sorry it took as long as it did to get these new episodes, and I don't even know why it did. It just did.
00:17We were going to do it over the weekend. We were going to record yesterday, actually, and you messaged me on Facebook asking if I could, and I had my phone on me, because I wasn't on my PC, so I had my phone on me, and thinking, you know, I get notifications when people message me on my phone.
00:41You messaged me on Facebook. I get notifications on my phone when that happens. Yeah, I didn't. So I didn't know you messaged me until, like, two hours later, two, two and a half hours later. I was like, oh, shit, it's too late to do it now.
01:00That's all right, because that shit happens to me, too, a lot, for some reason.
01:04Yeah.
01:04It actually just happened, like, a little bit ago when you messaged me.
01:08Yeah.
01:09I didn't get a notification at all.
01:10I don't fucking know why. I mean, you're supposed to.
01:17It used to work until recently. I don't know what the fuck happened.
01:22Nine times out of ten, it seems to work, but this one time, it didn't.
01:29Good thing I saw it.
01:31Yeah.
01:32We're going to get right back to Halo 2.
01:34Did you go through and watch the intro to Halo 2?
01:38Because, remember, it, the co-op campaign starts after, like, ten minutes of cut scenes.
01:47Yeah, I went back and played the first couple levels by myself to get, like, some of the unlockables I missed.
01:56And to also unlock the achievement for completing it, because, like, for some reason, it doesn't unlock on my end when I play co-op.
02:03And apparently that's a common issue.
02:05Did you get an invite?
02:06I tried to send you an invite.
02:08Yeah, I just need to, I'll have to endgame invite.
02:11Hang on.
02:11Okay.
02:13Oh, there it is.
02:14All right, so, uh, Halo 2.
02:25So, uh, that's fine.
02:36I, I, I just want to continue the fucking Halo campaign to pick, pick up wherever we left off.
02:43I don't, I don't care if we play through a little bit of a level over again game.
02:47Well, yeah, I, the first episode, we, the streaming it was kind of rough, because you thought you had an install, and it wasn't, but that gave me time to go back and record the intro, at least.
03:13So, there was that.
03:14I didn't realize I could individually install each game.
03:20Yeah, keep that in mind when we get around to Halo 3.
03:24Yeah, really.
03:29Which we will eventually get around to Halo 3, and we've got some other co-op games.
03:34Fear 2, Fear 3 is one of them, and Dead Space 3 is another.
03:40Can't wait for her.
03:42Yeah.
03:42Can see how, like, what the fuss is about when it comes to these being, like, the worst pieces of shit, apparently, and destroyed the series, like, both of them, I guess.
03:51I don't even think Fear 3 is that bad, honestly.
03:56Yeah, because you actually played through it, didn't you?
03:57Yeah, I played through it a couple times.
03:59I don't know what we're going to do about the ending, though, because during the credits, it plays Mother by Danzig.
04:07Oh, of course it does.
04:09Which, fucking love that song, but that's copyright to hell and back.
04:19I was somehow, like, mute that part of the video and then, like, add in, like, some wacky, like, free music or something.
04:27Yeah.
04:32What is taking so long?
04:34Okay, there, we're actually getting somewhere.
04:38It got stuck on the loading screen forever.
04:41Longer loading screen than the actual original game.
04:51Yeah.
04:52On the original Xbox from way back in the day.
04:5550 cal rockets didn't do a thing.
04:57This is where we left off.
05:03Yeah.
05:03When you get the tank and you go across the highway.
05:07There's a bridge here.
05:10And shoot people at the tank.
05:11Where's the rest of your plateau?
05:12Wasted, Sarge.
05:13And we will be too, sir.
05:14I don't know, rather we'll watch this in the original, like, way it was or the remastered.
05:21The team is going to jump in this tank.
05:23Since I never played the original, it feels like I kind of have to play it, like, with the original.
05:27Aesthetics.
05:29Well, it's up to you.
05:29Pull yourself together.
05:30Personally, I like the way that everyone looks more.
05:33We all run this in the original, um.
05:35The top of the eight Invincible.
05:37Stay with the master chief.
05:38He'll know what to do.
05:39I'll talk after the test.
05:41Thanks for the tank.
05:42He never gets me anything.
05:46Oh, I know what the lady's like.
05:50That's great, Johnson, and you're a great character.
05:53But how the fuck did you get off of the Halo race?
05:57Okay, so, uh, the original, the original, um, shit.
06:16Can I get in this, too?
06:18Or is it, like, a stick?
06:19Oh.
06:20Can you?
06:22I don't think, it's not giving me an option.
06:23Or can I at least, like, sit on the side?
06:25Because even then, it's, like, giving me an option.
06:27I thought, I thought this was a multi-seater.
06:30I thought it was.
06:34That's weird.
06:34The original game, it was, the lighting isn't what it was supposed to be on the original
06:41Xbox.
06:42Because it was supposed to have stencil shadows.
06:45Like, you remember that period of time back then when, uh, games had very dark, precise
06:52shadows?
06:53Yeah.
06:59Why's this not?
07:00Can't even steer this.
07:01What the?
07:02Oh, it steers with the mouse.
07:04Yeah.
07:05Which I can't, I can't move.
07:06It sucks because I can't shoot my...
07:08Oh, I can get this vehicle over here, actually.
07:13I didn't try and steal one of these.
07:16Try to steal the one that isn't blown up.
07:18I like, I like driving the ghost.
07:26It's clutching out, never mind.
07:31I don't know, why can't, I just don't understand why I can't get on this thing.
07:36Like, it doesn't let me at all.
07:38But, the NPCs can.
07:44I'm trying not to run you over.
07:46Oh, they were...
07:47There we go.
07:54Yeah, I thought the tank was a two-seater.
07:58Jesus Christ.
07:59Whatever that is, it's kicking my ass.
08:03Oh, no.
08:04What the fuck?
08:04The Rangers are three outs away from climbing back above 500.
08:22Wow.
08:23I'm so happy because...
08:24Because...
08:25Their pitching is great.
08:29Their defense is great.
08:31Their hitting...
08:32For once in the entire existence of the Texas Rangers has been awful.
08:37Gonna blow up.
08:45Yeah, I kind of love how they just spin around in circles when they blow up.
08:50But yeah, the original game was supposed to have stencil shadows.
08:54And it didn't.
08:54Oh, shit.
08:55And because it didn't, the lighting just doesn't look right, in my opinion.
09:03It has this kind of plasticky look to a lot of the textures in the original graphics in Halo.
09:10Oh, and the redone graphics don't have that problem, in my opinion.
09:23Yeah.
09:25Checkpoint.
09:25And I...
09:27I wish I had known about the stencil shadows when I...
09:30When I wrote my review of this game.
09:42It's gonna blow up.
09:55I would have brought that up.
09:58Because I did talk about how the textures don't just quite look right to me.
10:03Because I played the Xbox version for that.
10:08I didn't have an Xbox One X when I did that review.
10:14And this hadn't come to PC yet.
10:18Oh, shit.
10:19Can't wait for me.
10:25Oh, oh, I died.
10:36Shit.
10:39Oh, shit.
10:40What the fuck was that?
10:41Oh, that was...
10:42That was a ghost.
10:44Blow up my head.
10:46I killed my weapon.
10:48Oh, let's see if I can steal this.
10:50Or steal one of these, anyway.
10:53This one.
10:54Steal that guy.
10:55Should be close.
11:05There.
11:05I...
11:06Well, never mind.
11:07The NPCs will probably just destroy them anyway.
11:11I was trying to...
11:13Shoot one...
11:16Shoot the pilot without...
11:18You know...
11:21Blowing up the vehicle.
11:23I was trying.
11:24Oh, shit.
11:25Did I just run you over?
11:27I fucking...
11:27I just, like, gently touched the side of it and I died, so...
11:31I did not mean to do that.
11:33I was seeing if I could, like, somehow get on board since the NPCs are off, but...
11:37I guess not.
11:38You think...
11:39You think you would?
11:42How can I get my...
11:43My weapons back here?
11:45That's quite a welcome party.
11:51I shot two of them out of the sky.
12:03All right.
12:04Hell yeah.
12:04Hell yeah.
12:33I can't really, like, make a difference with what I got right now.
13:03Nah, I'm dead.
13:10You missed me!
13:12Oh cool, I got an achievement for getting killed by a guardian, that's cool.
13:26What kind of achievement is that?
13:28I don't know, that reminds me of the first time I played Fear for the Xbox 360 version.
13:37I threw a grenade.
13:40I was trying to drop a grenade down below me because, you know, I was up high and looking down on him and it was down below me.
13:49And I threw a grenade and it bounced off a pipe directly in front of me and right back into my face and blew up.
13:57And then I got an achievement for killing myself.
14:00Oh nice.
14:02It certainly is an achievement.
14:04I busted a gut laughing at that shit!
14:08Oh my god, that was fucking funny.
14:17That's actually a pretty decent version.
14:27Apparently the PC, on the Xbox, what's the stupid name they've got for their new systems?
14:40Series X.
14:41Yeah, Series X.
14:43It can run at 60 FPS, which is pretty nice.
14:46I hope so.
14:47It's got like that, what is that, FPS boost?
14:50Yeah.
14:58There's so much fire coming off of this thing I can't fucking see.
15:07I'm a Warthog.
15:17Since Stencil Shadows were a big deal, lighting and shadows has come a long way.
15:37I mean, look how much lighting advanced just because Doom 3 released.
15:42Yeah, really.
15:44But, at the time, it was a really good look.
15:52I died.
15:58And it was going to be a big deal, and they couldn't get it to work.
16:02Either they couldn't get it to work on Xbox hardware, or they just ran out of time.
16:07I died again.
16:11To an Elite.
16:12Oh damn.
16:15It's all of them.
16:20Did we make it?
16:27Keep going!
16:32Are you okay?
16:36There's a flashlight, right?
16:38Oh yeah, what was that flashlight in this game?
16:43I can't remember.
16:45Oh, that's a grenade!
16:46What am I doing?
16:47Yeah.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Oh god.
16:50I thought it was F, but it is not F.
16:52I'm going to-
16:53I'm going to-
16:54Is it like Z or-
16:55No.
16:57It is not Z.
16:58Oh.
17:02Controls.
17:03I'm afraid to press any of these buttons.
17:05Key bindings.
17:06Where is the fucking flashlight?
17:07Jump.
17:08Crouch.
17:09Dual wield.
17:10Fire.
17:11Zoom.

17:16I don't see.
17:17I'll toggle it four.
17:18Four?
17:19Well I'll be damned, it's four.
17:20I'm taking a- I was taking a ride on your head.
17:33I was actually staying in place.
17:37Wow, what the fuck?
17:41What the fuck?
17:44I'm taking a- I was taking a ride on your head.
17:46I was actually staying in place.
17:47staying in place wow what the fuck so didn't need it
18:07Wow if I fucking oh wow if I switch to the remaster on this area like it really
18:12like slow down kind of like stutters for a second
18:25that's how the the tomb raider remasters are you can do the same thing in that to
18:32like switch with a single button press that's even more jarring I I think I got
18:41though the first three with
18:52so sniper over here oh there's a war hog
18:59where's a sniper I don't know they're right yeah I think so jackal snipers are

24:24no
24:30oh yeah
24:37I wish they would bring this feature back
24:42but it's really only in two and three
24:45they removed it because
24:48it fucked with multi-player balance
24:50oh
24:51oh god
24:51my response to that was
24:54just
24:55oh there's a terminal
24:56oh did you find one
24:58yeah
24:59thanks ma'am
24:59he's up top
25:00come on I'll show you
25:02cool
25:03let's watch
25:03Vadami's most recent and damaging blow to the UNSC
25:13was the fall of reach
25:14Oni has still not been able to fully determine how Vadami located the planet
25:19and once again he caught us completely by surprise when his forces arrived in orbit and on the ground
25:25Vadami is responsible for over 1 billion total casualties
25:33and the loss of at least seven human planets
25:36his forces have defeated all UNSC counterattacks at the cost of 123 fleet vessels and over 23,000 personnel
25:45and now with reach lost
25:50Oni and UNSC strategic AI report a 0% confidence that the navy can stop Vadami through traditional means
25:58in the opinion of this investigator
26:00Vadami is the most dangerous Covenant military asset on the field
26:04it's common knowledge that the Covenant have a significant technological advantage over the UNSC
26:09but are sometimes inflexible in their tactics
26:12this is not the case for Vadami
26:14we cannot predict what he'll do next
26:17but given time we fear he will dismantle all remaining UNSC strongholds
26:22this agent's recommendation
26:24immediate termination
26:26if humanity wants to survive this war
26:29we cannot do it with Vadami on the field
26:32on the field
26:39ok I'm sure I told you this in the first batch of episodes
26:43but Vadami
26:44the character that that terminal was just talking about
26:47is that
26:49that elite that you see get branded and punished in the intro
26:55oh ok
27:00and he wasn't really in the first game
27:02yeah this game acts like
27:04that's one that's like the major problem with this game's storytelling
27:07is it acts like he was in the first game but he wasn't
27:10the intro acts as if you know who this character is
27:27but he wasn't in the first game so you don't know who this character is
27:31now the second time you go through it it's like oh ok I get it
27:37oh god
27:40don't get stepped on
27:42you know there actually was a PC version of this
27:53oh yeah I think I heard
27:57I see something about it
27:58I want to say 2007 is when it came out
28:01oh wow
28:02it's a Windows Vista exclusive
28:06I was gonna say oh god no
28:13and there is a way to play it
28:16it was a mod called Project Artographer
28:17I brought this up in the video review that I did of it

29:50I do not have the ranks in their grimes, but you can tell what ranks.
29:58So like red versus blue, like one of them was a higher rank than the other?
30:17That is true in red versus blue as well, but I'm talking specifically about the enemies
30:25All the enemies.
30:32Ma'am, flip space rupture off the target's bow.
30:34It's going to jump inside the city.
30:36There's no time, sir.
