Haloid is a 2007 short CGI crossover Fan Film by Monty Oum. As the title suggests, it crosses over Halo with Metroid, and consists of nothing but our favorite Power Armor-clad protagonists kicking ass (including each others') in an ultimate showdown with no regard for minor things like the laws of physics.

Something of a rough diamond compared to Oum's later works Dead Fantasy and RWBY, Haloid was nevertheless an impressive feat, being put together in a little over two months by one man with no formal training or budget on his home computer. Showcasing spectacular fight scene choreography, polished visuals, a fair bit of Fanservice, explosions and a Twist Ending, it's a loving send-up to both games as well as shooters/fighting games/action movies in general.

Oum began work on the film after discovering reverse engineering techniques online that allowed for the extraction of models from Halo 2. Upon release, it gained a significant amount of views online and made for his first big break, securing his status as an Internet celebrity legend and making him a highly sought-after name among game companies.
