The Doomed Dog
  • 7/23/2025
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

01:22The end of the day is a very good day.
01:52Mercy I have brought the incompetent you may leave Tartarus, but I thought and take your brutes with you
02:01release the prisoner
02:07The council decided to have you hung by your entrails and your corpse paraded through the city
02:13But ultimately the terms of your execution are up to me. I am already dead indeed
02:19Do you know where we are the mausoleum of the Arbiter quite sir?
02:27Here rest the vanguard of the Greek journey
02:30Every Arbiter from first to last each one created and consumed in times of extraordinary crisis
02:38The taming of the hunters the grunt rebellion were it not for the Arbiters the Covenant would have broken long ago
02:45Even on my knees
02:47I do not belong in their presence
02:49Halo's destruction was your era and you rightly bear the blame
02:54But the council was overzealous
02:57We know you are no heretic
03:00This is the true face of heresy one who would subvert our faith and incite rebellion against the High Council
03:06Our prophets are false
03:08Open your eyes my brothers
03:10They will use the faith of our forefathers to bring ruin to us all
03:14The great journey is
03:16This heretic and those who follow him
03:20Must be silenced
03:22This slander offends all who walk the path
03:25What use am I?
03:27I can no longer command ships
03:29Lead troops into battle
03:31Not as you are, no
03:33But become the Arbiter
03:35And you shall be set loose against this heresy with our blessing
03:53What of the council?
03:55The tasks you must undertake as the Arbiter are perilous
03:59Suicidal
04:00You will die
04:01As each Arbiter has before you
04:04The council will have their corpse
04:07Theat Port childhood
04:09Bullity
04:12No
04:14Theatira
04:16I
04:30I
04:31Aussie
04:32Magda
04:34What would you have your Arbiter do?
04:48When we joined the Covenant, we took an oath.
04:50According to our station, all without exception.
04:54On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the Covenant.
05:00Even to our dying breath.
05:02Those who would break this oath are heretics.
05:04Worthy of neither pity nor mercy.
05:07Even now, they use our Lord's creations to broadcast their lives.
05:13We shall grind them into dust.
05:15And continue our march to glorious salvation.
05:28This armor suits you, but it cannot hide that mark.
05:31Nothing ever will.
05:33You are the Arbiter.
05:34The will of the prophets.
05:36But these are my elites.
05:38Their lives matter to me.
05:40Yours does not.
05:41That makes two of us.
05:43Later, there is no doubt.
05:55The storm will strike the facility.
05:56We'll be long gone before it arrives.
05:59Warriors, prepare for combat.
06:12Warriors, prepare for combat.
06:12And here's your big gameplay plot twist for this one.
06:26We are now on the Halo ring that we destroyed in the first game, playing as the Covenant.
06:34That's pretty cool.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Honestly, you get to learn a lot about the Covenant and how it operates in this game.
06:42I love that it flushes them out so much.
06:44But this was also controversial at the time.
06:47A lot of people wanted to play the whole game as chief.
06:50I think it's cool having little, like, moments like this where you get to play as the, uh, somebody else, but no less the freaking enemy.
07:01Yeah.
07:02And we are here to stop this guy that is, you know, saying that the Great Journey and all this other stuff that the prophets teach is a lie.
07:18Oh, shit.
07:36Oh, shit.
07:42Instead of a flashlight, you can turn invisible, rather, for a short period of time.
07:58Oh, I just accidentally axed one of our guys.
08:03They look so similar.
08:04Yeah, they do.
08:05So it's easy to do.
08:07I love this energy start today.
08:09It's so awesome.
08:14I don't think it was intentional, but you can actually use it for movement in this game.
08:21Because when you slash, it kind of lunges you forward a little bit.
08:26And there is a certain pattern you can do, and I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.
08:30But it, you, it involves jumping and slashing, and it launches you just high in the air.
08:41I'm sure I use that in speedruns.
08:43Oh, yeah.
08:44And in, and in, uh, multiplayer.
08:49Oh, I didn't realize I had a durability, shit.
09:15Yeah, it does.
09:16You can only use all the Covenant weapons, too.
09:22Except for the Kneeler.
09:23You can reload the Kneeler.
09:29Which is actually more useful in this game than it was in the first game.
09:36If I remember right.
09:50And I researched this when I did the, uh, my video review on it.
09:58I think the term Arbiter actually comes from Isla.
10:07I don't know that.
10:09Arbiter, clear the hangar and open its door so I may drop the second land.
10:14Oh my god, what the fu-
10:15I would have to double check that, but that sounds right.
10:19Oh, yeah, the, the, the carbine can be reloaded, too.
10:34I forgot.
10:35Can I imagine how good the game, the soundtracks in these games are?
10:45Oh, hell yeah.
10:49Because the soundtracks are really fucking good.
10:58A lot of choir.
10:59Yeah.
11:00A lot of the tracks.
11:01Yeah.
11:02This one actually had Steve Vai come in and, uh, do guitar for a lot of the tracks.
11:08Which is awesome.
11:13I'm in these hangar doors.
11:15I'm in these hangar doors.
11:20That's friendly.
11:36Yeah, try not to shoot our own guys.
11:43I've already done that.
11:45No.
11:46So.
11:47So hard to tell.
11:48Yeah, but, because they're both, they're both the same different creatures from the Covenant.
11:53How the ro-
12:02Oh, they're-
12:08Hey, the door's open.
12:38Oh, I shot my friendly.
12:53Oh yeah, as the elite unit for the Covenant, you can temporarily turn invisible, which
13:03is awesome.
13:05Yeah, not everybody was happy about this when this game came out.
13:23Eventually, we will get to see where we just teleported off of Earth and the big explosion
13:34happened.
13:35We will get to see that from an angle of a, uh, soldier that's still left on Earth when
13:41that happens in Halo 3 ODST.
13:46I hated you, elite!
13:53I'm not sure where we go.
13:54I'm not sure where we go.
13:56I'm not sure where we go.
14:00Okay.
14:02Let's go.
14:06Oh shit I got killed
14:28See I promised I'd play through the Halo games
14:33I didn't promise I'd be good after
14:34Damn
14:39Is that a terminal?
14:52Yeah it is
14:53Oh sweet
14:54Good eye
14:56Change shape
14:59Quite unacceptable
15:28Glorious day
15:54The prophets will be pleased that we have rescued an Oracle from the human's violation of the Holy Temple
16:00Why do you keep calling it a temple?
16:03My installation was a weapon and one which we needed very very badly
16:07But Oracle I do not understand
16:11We were told the rings are salvation
16:13A gateway to paradise
16:15Told? By whom?
16:17Anyone who told you that is a fool
16:19Or quite, quite mad
16:21That installation was a beautiful tool
16:23Designed to destroy everything the Flood might feed on
16:26Everything?
16:27Oh quite everything
16:30And if even one Flood Spore survived the destruction of my ring
16:33Communications
16:34Shut down all lines to the fleet
16:37We will not notify the prophets of our discovery
16:40Until I hear everything this Oracle has to say
16:44I will gladly share what I am permitted
16:46But we have little time
16:48What has been unleashed here could destroy everything you have ever known
16:52On that Oracle
16:54We are in agreement
16:55And that was the heretic we are chasing down
17:15Meeting with 343 Guilty Spark
17:17From the first game
17:19You good?
17:39Yep
17:39And that's when he learns
17:46The truth about
17:48The halo ring
17:50And what it actually does
17:51They're sleeping
18:00They were
18:03Now they're really sleeping
18:05Yep
18:07Now they're sleeping forever
18:08Take cover
18:10Yeah
18:23Sometimes you'll run across the grunts
18:25They're just sitting there like
18:26Asleep
18:28Doing nothing
18:29You can just sneak on them
18:30And
18:30Kill them without conflict
18:33That dude got bitch slapped
18:44There's another energy sword if you're interested
18:57Oh yeah
19:01Oh no
19:14Oh no
19:14Go
19:20Go
19:24Go
19:24Go
19:25Go
19:27Go
19:28Go
19:41Go
19:42Oh, wait, here we go, okay.
20:02So which graphical setting did you decide to play in?
20:06Oh shit, I just shot you.
20:08I started with the original, but I switched to the remastered.
20:12I switched back and forth, like, occasionally, just to see, like, how much of a difference
20:25it is.
20:26Sometimes it's like, sometimes it's unrecognizable.
20:28Yeah.
20:29It's impressive, just...
20:33Enough, be silent.
20:46The Heritics are mobilizing their Air Force's office.
20:49Get after their leader but watch your back.
20:52We're sending one of our vans to support you.
20:56Banshee
21:01Yep
21:26In the original, they removed it from this game, but in the original game on the Xbox, there is one scene later on in the game that's about a breaking game
21:45Oh wow
21:46I remember it was written specifically for that
21:51They were a big deal at the time, it wasn't...
22:21I'm just kind of lost my train of thought, I was just saying something different
22:33I don't know
22:36I'm just trying to lose my train of thought
22:40I was just trying to lose his train of thought
22:43I'm gonna do tricks, oh yeah that's cool do a barrel roll
22:55Z or R, twice
23:00Did you see the official DC port that got?
23:18Of what this?
23:19Star Fox 64.
23:20Oh, Star Fox.
23:21Yeah.
23:22I didn't see that.
23:23Yeah, I did.
23:24Oh, that's cool.
23:25Let's find it and link it to me later.
23:28It's really impressive.
23:29It looks really nice.
23:30And it runs so smooth when they get it to run at a rock-solid 60.
23:36Oh, shit.
23:37Died.
23:38So much smoother than the original ever did.
23:41No sign of the heretic leader or his advantage.
23:46We must keep searching.
23:50Gone yet.
23:52Okay.
23:53Okay.
23:54So.
23:55We need to catch up with the dropship.
23:59Okay.
24:00Okay.
24:01So.
24:02We need to catch up with the dropship.
24:06Okay.
24:07Okay.
24:08So.
24:09We need to catch up with the dropship.
24:13One of them.
24:14Blow up.
24:15Blow up.
24:16Blow up.
24:17Blow up.
24:18Blow up.
24:19I came.
24:20I saw.
24:21I got blowed up.
24:22I got blowed up.
24:23I got blowed up.
24:24I got blowed up.
24:30I reference that a lot.
24:59You know what it's from?
25:02Sounds like a play on Ghostbusters quote.
25:06Ernest goes to jail.
25:09Oh.
25:10It's from Ernest goes to death.
25:14I don't even remember the context of it.
25:16I just remember him saying, I came.
25:18I saw.
25:19I got blowed up.
25:21And laughing my ass off.
25:27They're almost there.
25:28God.
25:29God.
25:30God.
25:31Whoa.
25:32Whoa.
25:33Whoa.
25:34Whoa.
25:35Whoa.
25:36Whoa.
25:40They're almost there.
25:42They're almost there.
25:56Whoa, whoa.
26:03Don't shoot at me, asshole, I'm on your side!
26:08There we go.
26:38You useless piece of shit, get out in front.
27:03What is it?
27:04That stench, I've smelled it before.
27:10Guess who's back?
27:15Or guess what we're about to run into, I should say.
27:30Oh boy.
27:31Flood?
27:34Yep, the flood.
27:38I mean, we are on the first...
27:43We are on the same ring where they got set free in the first game, so it makes sense.
27:50Oh boy.
27:51Oh yeah, I remember this.
27:58What happened here?
28:00The flood happened here.
28:02The flood happened here.
28:04You always have bad feelings.
28:05You had bad feelings about warning smooth nipples.
28:09Close your toes, or I should bite themselves.
28:17See, Heriton!
28:19Hold your fire.
28:21Hold your fire.
28:22I wondered if the prophets would send to the second game.
28:28An orbiter.
28:29Unflattered.
28:30He's using a holodrome.
28:32He must be close.
28:35Come out, so we may kill you.
28:38Get in line.
28:51Leader.
28:52Stand first.
28:53The flood.
28:54blood
29:24blood
29:26blood
29:28blood
