- Sturmhouse, on 10/12/2007, -68/+16Wow, an amateur animator who actually knows how to hold someone's attention, BRAVO!
Granted, her borrowed some choreography (and characters), but who doesn't after The Matrix?- kevin45, on 10/12/2007, -124/+30Don't taint Metroid with Halo please.
- Neem, on 10/12/2007, -10/+118I'm going to completely rape the comment system on this one, but this is how smash brothers should play like =D
- drafhk, on 10/12/2007, -8/+77Wow. Sorry for the comment abuse, but I just wanted to say this:
This guy proves that a Halo movie, if done right, could be amazing. Also why can't bungie have cutscenes like this? - dudemanbro, on 10/12/2007, -7/+196i saw boob jiggle
- drafhk, on 10/12/2007, -37/+21Sorry, couldn't edit: except for that ending. Wtf GAY.
- magicmarc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+210A video combining Halo, Metroid, The Matrix, Lightsaber type objects, awesome bullet time and lesbians = absolutely fantastic.
- jjesusfreak01, on 10/12/2007, -26/+91Cept master chief aint no lesbian, or a girl for that matter.
Not to say there arent female spartans, mc just isnt one of them. Pure heresy, thats what that is... - Samus, on 10/12/2007, -9/+30ME FTW (even though i sorta agree with kevin45)
- terrenceisdaman, on 10/12/2007, -30/+2Where's the video?
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -25/+13It was cool, until the ridiculously gay ending.
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -25/+9That was more gay than a football bat, the Master Chief is a dude.
- Cowtastic, on 10/12/2007, -17/+7Excellent Devil May Cry style ridiculous fighting. But the combination of 2 fanboy idols is bound to cause major flame wars.
And I was half expecting Ratchet or Jak to come in, but no love for the PS fanboys. - echonull, on 10/12/2007, -4/+55People objecting "Master Chief's not a girl!", please read the FAQ below the vid.
- Samus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+64this is going down in history as one of the best fan-mades EVAR. lessies FTW
- EmperorAwesome, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14It was awesome to see realistic Spartan fighting in the first part. The games don't really put you in those positions, cause they'd be a bitch to get out of, now when does the 5th book come out?
- echunny, on 10/12/2007, -22/+28I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.
- Samus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19why are they digging down echunnys comment precious? is it because they are retardses?
- th3heretic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30If Master chief ended up a girl, he has all guys beat when it comes to a deep voice.
- Shuk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Looooved the fighting choreography, very creative with some 300 style slowdowns and matrix bullet time. But please guys, we didn't need the last part.
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@drafhk
cause it's bungie...
They just can't seem to grasp cinematics and online gaming without glitches. - Xpoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md-QkCquOHE
I heard it's loading slow for a friend now, so here's a youtube link in case you need it. - oxdeltaxo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Samus + Master Chief = Super Soldier Babies?
- Djchicken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They should put a warning to stop after the long dark scene so that your nerdy male fantasies can remain intact.
- Wolfbeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@jjesusfreak01
It's Nicole a.k.a Spartan-458 from DOA4.
- heero101086, on 10/12/2007, -122/+8BECAUSE OF THE CRAPPY TITLE AND DESCRIPTION, THIS WILL NEVER SEE THE FRONT PAGE... still dugg it.
- 8177, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45your credibility = 0
- Platysquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27@8177
I thought that was a surprised face... - heero101086, on 10/12/2007, -21/+2Yay, it reached the front page. Awsome. Digg down the other comment.
- leaguerefused, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good job guy. feel special about yourself now?
This video was extremely well made and well organized.
- Ozeki, on 10/12/2007, -16/+5Very impressive and you can always rely on hot lesbian pr0n.
- skidzilla, on 10/12/2007, -15/+9Proof that Koreans + Ridiculous amounts of Coffee* (*Dies) = Awesomeness. :D
- JDPoZ, on 10/12/2007, -5/+117Spartan + Samus + Matrix Fight Style = most awesome fan movie ever made. Period.
- Craga89, on 10/12/2007, -7/+67The ending dance scene was awesome. I mean come on, how often do you see covenant gettin' down and funky? Hm?
- ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30I agree about the dance scene. I can't imagine trying to animate something like that. But I'm no animator, so the whole thing is amazing to me.
- karafias, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10***** amazing. I'm really speechless here. It's without a doubt the most awesome fan movie I have ever seen. Excellent quality, good characters, good fight scenes, and a lot of personality. I lol'd at the Chief's spark :P
- PATSCRU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I thought this was going to be another piece of youtube fanfic trash....boy was i wrong, smiling laughing and entertained, the whole way through.....WELL DONE MARTY!
- Djchicken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Please at deleted scenes from later that night! Please? ;)
- SharkyTech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You forgot lesbians.
- frozenwalkway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey there was some gun kata in that too man equlibrium ftw. shot gun gun kata
- AwRy108, on 10/12/2007, -0/+52Wow, this is awesome--I can't even imagine how long it took to make it!
BTW, can someone change the title of story so it has a chance to been seen?- eximious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34The animator said it took him 2 months. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
- NeoOfTheSith, on 10/12/2007, -6/+63I was hooked until the ending. Honestly: wtf?
Still badass though so dugg!- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The ending was sick.
Also, It's obviously Linda with those mad snipes.
Insane vid.
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The ending was sick.
- Torf, on 10/12/2007, -23/+5Incredible! I always wondered what Master Chief looked like. ... dugg
- JDPoZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+85Actually it's NOT Master Chief. The artist even says it's not in his credits. He says if you look close, you can see the Spartan's # on her suit. It's 458, which is the number of the Spartan you can play as in Dead or Alive 4, Petty Officer Nicole.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_(Dead_or_Alive)
Here's proof via the artist's DeviantArt page:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51932980/- Torf, on 02/14/2008, -0/+0Um, I meant this as a joke. Lighten up.
- Ashkc88, on 10/12/2007, -38/+1@jdpoz
No *****. - JudgeMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43You say no ***** as if everyone in the world knows EVERYTHING about halo and dead or alive 4. Obviously some people don't.
"Water is wet"
No *****
"This spartan is actually supposed to be nicole. From dead or alive 4"
Why, thank you for that bit of obscure info.
See? - Ashkc88, on 10/12/2007, -21/+3Who in their right mind seriously thought "OMG MASTER CHIEF IS A GIRL?" That's why I said "no *****."
- razrielle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Actually if you read the books there was more then one spartan and i believe more then one was female, and who ever said it was master cheif
- JDPoZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+85Actually it's NOT Master Chief. The artist even says it's not in his credits. He says if you look close, you can see the Spartan's # on her suit. It's 458, which is the number of the Spartan you can play as in Dead or Alive 4, Petty Officer Nicole.
- vsujohn2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Master Shief, lol
- JDPoZ, on 10/12/2007, -9/+30Actually, it's NOT the Master Chief. The creator even says it's not. It's actually Spartan 458, Nicole, featured in Dead or Alive 4 for the 360. The Master Chief's name is John, and his number is 117.

Wiki on Spartan 458, Petty Officer Nicole:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_(Dead_or_Alive)- probune, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Would anyone have known what the hell I was talking about if I said Master Chick or Spartan 458?
- contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2@jdpoz
Dude, seriously, chill. - appurtenance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Damn son, she weighs quite a bit:
"Without Armor: 139 kg (307 lb)."
P.S. Don't care who it is, Master Chief or Spartan-458... It was sweet action.
- heltoew, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1Blasphemy!!!
- Yoshi39, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40Blasphemy? THIS IS SPARTA!
- holzp, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Who cares who it is? Master Baits!
- kermithefrog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17holy *****
- knodi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6MC is a guy. So thats Spartan is another Spartan called Spartan 458. The female Spartan.
- Kyoushu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4There is more then one spartan. Master Chief(John) was assigned to be the leader of them.
- dudemanbro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It makes me all tingly inside watching it
- Deegraww, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2this makes me feel the same way... near the very end that is
http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/inowpronounceyouchuckandlarry/hd/
Mother of pearl!
- Deegraww, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2this makes me feel the same way... near the very end that is
- daeyeth, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26"Written by Monty"
"Directed by Monty"
"Assistant Directed by Monty"
"Cinematography by Monty"
"Director of Photography by Monty"
"Animation by Monty"
He couldn't just put "created by Monty" and be done with it? Anyways, good stuff.- halfabean, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Yeah, my only complaint about the whole thing. Seems a little masturbatory putting your name up 25 times. Otherwise, really cool.
- enicholas, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3Glad I wasn't the only one. The credits seemed unbelievably self-indulgent to me, particularly considering how much of the content wasn't his. He listed his own name five times during the intro and then another twenty or so during the end credits, but doesn't even mention Bungie or Nintendo until after his own name appears twenty-five times. He also claims "Choreography by Monty Oum" without bothering to mention "Except for all the stuff I copied from The Matrix and Super Smash Brothers and who knows what else".
Maybe he was trying to be funny, but it came off to me as smug and irritating. When you're making an animation based on other people's characters and "borrowing" all sorts of intellectual property, you might want to list their contributions a little more prominently and toot your own horn a little less. A simple "Created by Monty Oum", along with proper attributions to Bungie and Nintendo, would have gotten the point across equally well. - acdcfanbill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12did you read the credits? those were the 'funny' version. after that he lists himself and others who helped him.
- eximious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Apparently in lots of his previous videos viewers thought that a group of people contributed to the work, when it was just this one guy pumping out the animation. I think he was trying to be funny while also letting everyone know he was the sole animator / creator (ideas / trademarks aside).
- tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14that was amazing
very well done
make sure you watch the dance scene at the end of the credits - lazyrussian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17WOW WOW WOW! That was amazing - all of it, even the ending! (after the credits)
- jeo77, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5Okay, so the spartan's crotch malfunctioned when SHE saw Samus without amour? The spartan as a girl seemed kinda...well just thought it was MC, and with MC being a guy and all..yeah, threw me off...amazing animation though, hope to see more by this guy
- probune, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Scroll down below the video, he explains that
- boombye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10yeah i totally expected to be MC, but when it ended up being Spartan-458, i realized how much cooler this video was... a clash of the strongest women in video games.
- InfinitySnatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Electric vagina.
- PrescriptionX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Hmm, there's an idea in there for Bungie that almost certainly won't make it into Halo3 (but just maybe...) that looked pretty damn good and would make for a cool gameplay mechanic: jackal shields.
Imagine if you could pick up and use those in game, throw 'em, toss 'em around, cut guys in half with them etc... etc... I'd be down, who's with me? - teamparadox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Great movie and highly entertaining but its not "Master Chief" per the description on Digg, its the Female Spartan from DOA4 on Xbox 360.
- spindrift, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Uhm, holy crap. That was some of the best fight choreography I have EVER seen in ANY fight scene ever. The (shot)gun-kata alone was amazing. And yes, very tingly with the Nicole!Samus slashing.
- Mephistocles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4FINALLY! SOMEONE mentions gunkata. Everyone is all "ooh its like the matrix"
Equilibrium was 100 times better than the matrix - MrMacMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1here here -- gunkata is finally mentioned. thank you.
- Mephistocles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4FINALLY! SOMEONE mentions gunkata. Everyone is all "ooh its like the matrix"
- Sirking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Dugg for use of the word Haloid (but mostly because it included Samus and was really cool)
- Aidanjalali, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2As a massive fan of both halo and metroid, I have to say...this guy has perfectly animated this movie! MC is as strong as he SHOULD be, and Samus...wow, she rocks. Textures could have done with a bit of work, but damn, that was the last thing on my mind watching it!
- eXk0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Very well done movie. This guy obviously has some talent and lots of potential. It couldn't have been easy to rip the models and animate them.
- CommunistEagle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25When the sniper bullet rebounds off the two shields is the coolest thing ever.
- glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I laughed out load when I saw that (much to the amusement of my officemate.
Brilliant choreography on the shield ricochet. Pure genius!
- glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I laughed out load when I saw that (much to the amusement of my officemate.
- proghead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33Zounds!
What a twist!
i was secretly hoping that Samus and Master (Chick) would get it on......i am ashamed..... (v_v )- jmdajr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29don't be
- goldenhearted, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Awesome!
This is either a fan's wet pipedream or the unfinished Matrix movie o_O!
double shield + sniper deflection combo = mega win! - UrbnMonk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You rock! Your sick. Entertaining, and if your 'just' an ametuer using 'laughable' tools, then I hope you go pro soon. Did I say entertaining?
- endtime, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I thought the end was kind of hot.
- jrcarscadden, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Incredible! I always knew Samus owned!
- skiCO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Well I guess this answers that question.
Now he needs to make a video with a Ninja and a Pirate - Crimsoneer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That was absolutely incredible....
- freetyme, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3This was awesome until the end, did they have to make BOTH Spartan 458 and Samus lesbians? It would have been so much better without that, the fight scene was amazing and its almost every microsoft and nintendo fans dream to actually have Master Chief and Samus face off (Samus would win). Really though I would've even tolerated ONE of them being lesbian but both? It would've even been cool for like the Spartan to be lesbian, hit on Samus, and get totally trounced by Samus because of it.
- Darksaber11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Awesome, do we really need to say anything more? I kinda wish it had been Master Chief instead of one of the female Spartans (and the DOAX one no less, he could at least have used one from the books) but whatever. I like the jackle shields in this, like someone mentioned above, but don't expect anything like that from Halo 3 since it's mostly done and we haven't heard about anything like that.
Oh, is it bothering anyone else that they can't find a way to rip that embedded video? I have dial-up at home, and it'd be nice to watch it again some day... so far I've tried Video Ook! and DownThemAll, and neither works. Grr...- techwrekfix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I'd like to be able to play it outside of the browser myself.
- boombye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2On one of his other videos, he offers a link to download some of his stuff, perhaps it's hosted there.
- Darksaber11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you mean the link to his deviantart site, then no such luck. It just links back to gametrailers for the movies. He does have some sweet artwork though.
- jayaqt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I did it this way with Firefox. Go to your Mozilla Profile Cache folder.
I'm using XP so it's at X:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Local Settings/Application Data/MozillaFirefox/Profiles/MOZILLAPROFILE.DEFAULT/Cache
The file's a salad of characters. It gets bigger while it loads. You can copy it from here only until it fully loads as after it gets fully loaded it automatically goes to
X:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Local Settings/Temp
After that you can't copy it anymore as it's exclusively used by firefox. I don't know any other way.
This one's about 52MB so right before it gets to that size assuming you have a slow connection you can always copy it from your FF cache folder. You might not like the ending anyway. Rename it to something.flv. Plays fine on MPC. - jayaqt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The direct link:
http://trailers.gametrailers.com/gt_fanmovies/um_31603-91737-HaloidFull-1176793690.flv
- dsmx, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6It was doing fine right up until they showed what was inside master cheifs armor we all know that chuck norris is under that armor.
- Darksaber11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You're going to get dugg down for that, even though it's funny. Before people digg you down though, they should google chuck norris + halo.
- gushgear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Wait... what's that rumbling in my pants? Yep... popped a big geek boner...
- RCcola159, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Oxymoron?
- tsinder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Scissor
- Zinital, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3ITS NOT MASTER CHIEF ITS FRICKIN NICOLE FROM DEAD OR ALIVE 4 YOU DAMN NOOBS.
- Zinital, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2ITS NOT MASTER CHIEF YOU MORONS!!!
- tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1does anyone know what software he used to make that?
- boombye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4says in the credits.
- RolltheStampede, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2didnt you look at the credits he lists them
- RexMaxus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2youtube link?
- woody56292, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Amazing fight, loved the shotgun attacks that Nicole used.
- DrunkenDevil, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Worse ending...EVER!
- bassmanyoowan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4that was quite impressive, except the ending, which seems to be the general consensus. The dancing made up for it as did the ELECTRIC BONER!
also @tuxidomasx, check the credits at the end it tells you there. - NiGHTSChao, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Lame because Halo and Metroid suck
but the ending was made of pure win - manbear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2that was pretty awesome. Who knew Samus was a lesbian...not me.
- Zanza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10now if only there was a game that played like that
- Kumaku, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Then ending should of been Snake as MC. And when he takes off the helmet the ! sound should play.
- Xpoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4A job well done. One of the best solo projects I've seen.
