00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.280
- Like the entire rest of the PC gaming world,

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:09.812
I've been playing some Halo Infinite level. Not gonna brag or anything, but I'm gold four, okay.

00:00:09.812 --> 00:00:14.950
(laughs) We've actually got a little care package from our friends

00:00:14.950 --> 00:00:20.300
at Microsoft that is supposed to be some kind of Halo Infinite themed something.

00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:25.620
Now, I'm gonna confess, I haven't actually played a Halo game since Halo One.

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:29.110
So, hopefully these are really, really old references.

00:00:29.110 --> 00:00:32.932
Is Cortana like, alive still? Colton come on help me out. - I don't know.

00:00:32.932 --> 00:00:36.106
- You're supposed to be a gamer. - I don't play Halo. - You don't play Halo?

00:00:36.106 --> 00:00:41.650
- I do now. - Okay, all right. So we got UNSC, Unlock Classified.

00:00:41.650 --> 00:00:44.750
Wow, this is all kinds of fun here.

00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:48.870
Oh well, surely this seal could never be broken and redone.

00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:53.800
It's top secret, ladies and gentlemen. Oh my goodness, look at all this, swag.

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:57.140
Welcome Spartan. United Nations Space blah, blah, blah.

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:00.820
Please examine and secure your personalized mission equipment, high clearance ID badge.

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:04.780
Is this sponsored by Microsoft or, no? Okay. No, we're just hanging out,

00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:10.610
we're just doing a thing. Ooh, this is cool. 1227, what a missed opportunity,

00:01:10.610 --> 00:01:15.100
and you call yourselves gamers. All right, let's get this thing opened up.

00:01:15.100 --> 00:01:20.940
There we go. Ooh. Seems like I'm probably supposed to open these up in order.

00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:24.143
So I'm gonna start, with door number one.

00:01:26.410 --> 00:01:28.473
(box slams) What we got here.

00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:34.060
Oh nice, a copy of Halo Infinite. Wait, isn't it free?

00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:37.400
Oh, hey I got a code for the campaign, heck yeah, all right.

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.410
That saves me some trouble. And, it's a good thing I didn't buy

00:01:40.410 --> 00:01:45.740
an Elite Series Two controller during Black Friday like I was going to because apparently I just got one.

00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:49.409
Hey, thanks Microsoft. It's not squid game.

00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:54.010
(David laughs) Hey not every jacket with a number on it is squid game, David.

00:01:54.010 --> 00:01:57.480
You know what, I'll wear it. I'll wear the shell.

00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.990
Oh, this is not gonna be good for audio, is it? Got my convenient little pouch.

00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:08.990
This really takes me back to grade two. Remember starter jackets, anyone starter jackets?

00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:12.390
San Jose Shark, starter jacket, they had- - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!

00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:17.600
- Right? - I like those. - Yeah, all right. Yeah, this takes me way back, okay.

00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:19.500
Behind door number two, ow.

00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:28.090
This, must be the Elite Series Two controller. Holy smokes, this thing is heavy.

00:02:28.090 --> 00:02:31.370
Oh wait no, some of the weight seems to be other things in here, let's go-

00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:36.160
Oh, oh, the little foam. I have never actually been hands-on

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.360
with an Elite Series Two. So, I'm just used to my regularly controller with its little

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.470
foam dude. But this is like a little charging cradle.

00:02:44.470 --> 00:02:48.847
Okay, that's pretty cool. Braided cable, got some nice color matching

00:02:48.847 --> 00:02:52.950
thumb stick replacements. This is a long cable, I actually like it.

00:02:52.950 --> 00:02:56.450
I'm not gonna need that for now though. I actually prefer the regular D-pads,

00:02:56.450 --> 00:03:00.360
I'm gonna swap that out real quick. Of course one of the coolest features of the Elite controllers is

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.870
they've got these back buttons like we had on third-party controllers for a lot of years,

00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:08.530
but now you can get on first party controllers. Man this thing is heavy.

00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:13.220
This is a really cool controller. I have to confess, even though I've heard the pro move

00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:18.330
is to play Halo Infinite with a controller, I've been going keyboard and mouse up until now.

00:03:18.330 --> 00:03:24.320
So I'm about to have my very first Halo Infinite with a controller gaming experience here I think.

00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:28.360
One thing I missed, this is a fun feature. I remember this from my old NVIDIA Shield console,

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:33.606
they've got a little pass through so you can still charge up your controller when it's inside of its carrying case.

00:03:33.606 --> 00:03:38.606
Ooh, now that's pretty cool.

00:03:40.190 --> 00:03:44.380
Hey David. - Yeah? - Do we have our old master chef helmet somewhere?

00:03:44.380 --> 00:03:48.793
Hold on, it makes- it makes noise.

00:03:49.888 --> 00:03:53.320
(ominous music)

00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:57.570
Hey, there it is, okay. So is this the same as this one? - Looks, really close.

00:03:57.570 --> 00:04:01.130
No, it's different. - It's different. It is different, we've got a new one.

00:04:01.130 --> 00:04:04.800
Obviously I'm gonna have to try it on. Boy am I ever having a bad hair day.

00:04:07.119 --> 00:04:10.910
How do I look?

00:04:10.910 --> 00:04:14.730
So it looks like it's got a little, what are these called photovoltaic cell

00:04:14.730 --> 00:04:18.630
or something like that? So when you take the helmet off,

00:04:18.630 --> 00:04:21.770
I think it makes noise. Let's play some Halo.

00:04:21.770 --> 00:04:24.910
Okay, so can- what just happened?

00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.953
Do I have to download it? You didn't download it Colton.

00:04:27.953 --> 00:04:32.260
- What are you talking about? - You did not. If I don't play with this helmet on, then I'm not doing it right.

00:04:32.260 --> 00:04:36.930
Screw it, we're gonna play some multiplayer while we- can we play multiplayer while we wait for that?

00:04:36.930 --> 00:04:40.230
Okay, so what is this? Big Team Battle is like what? What game mode is it?

00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:43.482
Like is it captured the flag? - I think it changes. (gunshots)

00:04:43.482 --> 00:04:47.770
- Oh no, don't run me over. Don't run me over.

00:04:47.770 --> 00:04:51.870
I really am not a controller player.

00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:55.491
David, how do I get in- oh, I threw a grenade again. (car explodes)

00:04:55.491 --> 00:04:58.510
(guys laugh) That was terrible.

00:04:58.510 --> 00:05:01.850
I have no idea where we were supposed to go or what we're trying to do. Also I'm wearing this helmet.

00:05:01.850 --> 00:05:04.866
I mean, come on, go easy on me, right? You think I should take the helmet off?

00:05:04.866 --> 00:05:08.520
- Yeah I think, yeah. (gunshots) Oh my god, recoil.

00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:11.980
Cannot control recoil with sticks. Why are there dead zones?

00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:16.140
Why are there dead zones when you're playing a competitive shooter? The campaign is not done downloading,

00:05:16.140 --> 00:05:20.860
so hey, what the hay, why don't you subscribe on Floatplane where I upload VODs of my game streams.

00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:24.030
Maybe I'll play some Halo campaign. Probably not with the controller,

00:05:24.030 --> 00:05:27.773
I think it would be best if I go back to the keyboard and mouse, but I'll see y'all over there.
