Halo: Combat Evolved Cutscenes - Pillar of Autumn Final HD

Reminder that by chief not wearing a seatbelt, he basically turned into a 4000kg pinball and pulverised the entire crew on impact.

The guy that voices the marine that shouts "the Autumn, she's been hit" died of cancer 3 years later at the young age of 19 :(

0:50 this shot is such a masterpiece. Keyes pulling a power move by divebombing the Pillar of Autumn onto Halo, trumpets blaring as Covenant plasma slams into the side, the lifeboat so close you can almost hear the engines pushing.

"We'll be fine/I'll be fine" has become somewhat of a motto for me

Chad Keyes yeeting the autumn into the ring is one of the most badass moments in halo history

the coolest halo cutscene ever made

This scene, more than any other scene in movies and games, imo, captures the sheer sense of scale with a moving body. The Autumn isn’t moving slow like in today’s common depictions of titanic machines. It’s moving fast. And, unlike other attempts, in this scene you feel it.

0:24 sign of a good leader

Rest in peace to the guy who said the autumn she's been hit💙💙

When master chief taps that marine on the shoulder. Hero move

We'll be fine

Its clear anyone whos watching this video that Halo had a huge impact on us and our childhoods. The shot and atmosphere at 0:51 till the end is so incredible. The way the pillar of autumn complete dwarfs the escape pod, and the camera shakes as the plasma explodes on both sides. The trumpets heroically blare as the marines venture to unknown terrortiy in the emptiness of space. "Heads up everyone, this is it" 1:03 the Drop pod begins to burn up in the atmosphere, Cortana voices her concern and the Chief stays stoic and confident. 1:08 this shot is incredible and there's no turning back, Cortana remarks "If I still had fingers they'd be crossed." Which is a great line, the trumpets are louder than ever and in moments we would all step onto the Halo ring for the first time. Truly a magical moment in our lives.

Way back when, my friend was watching me play and at 1:11 he didn't realize difference between Cortana's voice and the pilot's and he said "What?! Is she driving with stubs???"

I actually had a dream about this scene last month.

I always thought that this cutscene, although badass, was a little strange. I'm now just realizing why! The escape pod, the Autumn, and Covenant plasma beams all made no sound ! I'm so used to hearing laser sounds in space battles, but of course in reality there would be none. This realization makes me love this scene even more!

At 0:45 its like the marine doesn't know that the plan is to land on the ring and also believes the pilot is on pot and says "Marijuana! She's been hit!"

I still remember playing this growing up so much nostalgia 😢

coming back and reliving these scenes as an adult and not a dumb kid, i have a much better appreciation of the background details and how godly it was for its time

The lieutenant flying the pod was the real unsung hero of halo, rest easy queen 💜

"Will Be Fine" Master Chief response One of my favorite lines 😎 1:03
