3 | ''Haloid'' is a 2007 short CGI crossover FanFilm by Creator/MontyOum. As the title suggests, it crosses over ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' with ''{{Franchise/Metroid}}'', and consists of nothing but our favorite PowerArmor-clad protagonists kicking ass (including each others') in an {{ultimate showdown|OfUltimateDestiny}} with no regard for minor things like [[RuleOfCool the laws of physics]]. |

5 | Something of a rough diamond compared to Oum's later works ''WebAnimation/DeadFantasy'' and ''WebAnimation/{{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}}, [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]] and a TwistEnding, it's a loving send-up to both games as well as shooters[=/=]fighting games[=/=]action movies in general. |

7 | Oum began work on the film after discovering reverse engineering techniques online that allowed for the extraction of models from ''VideoGame/Halo2''. Upon release, it gained a significant amount of views online and made for his first big break, securing his status as an Internet [[strike:celebrity]] legend and making him a highly sought-after name among game companies. |

16 | !!This work contains examples of: |
17 | |
18 | * BackToBackBadasses: Oh so much. |
19 | * BetweenMyLegs: The shot immediately after Samus' BringIt gesture begins this way, then zooms in on MC. |
20 | * [[RocketJump Bomb Jump]]: Although not by choice. |
21 | * BringIt: Samus' ''Film/TheMatrix'' style "come get some" gesture to MC. |
22 | * CreditsGag: Type 5 (Monty Oum is listed as doing everything) |
23 | * CurbStompBattle: |
24 | ** It takes about thirty seconds for the [=ODSTs=] to all get killed. |
25 | ** The Covenant get thoroughly squashed shortly after. |
26 | ** After Samus loses her power armor, she starts kicking Master Chief around like a ragdoll. Chief would've easily been killed were it not for the Covenant's timely return. WordOfGod is that this is because MC had fallen in love. |
27 | * DancePartyEnding: One involving all participants of the main work save the poor ODST troopers at the end. Done purely for {{Fanservice}} and [[RuleOfFunny lulz]]. |
28 | * DancingMookCredits: The Covenant aliens are the bulk of the dancers in the credits. |
29 | * DeadlyDodging: |
30 | * DualWielding: Samus does it with [[LaserBlade energy swords]]. And shields if you count them as weapons. |
31 | * EnemyMine: Samus and MC join forces when more Covenant troops show up. And ''much ass is kicked.'' |
32 | * EquippableAlly: MC picks up Samus for a [[WeaponizedExhaust rocket-boot powered]] SpinAttack. |
33 | * FanService: Zero Suit Samus. [[spoiler:Nicole too, once she's out of armor. And that's not even getting into what they wear for the DancePartyEnding...]] |
34 | * GrenadeTag: |
35 | * GunFu: MC takes down numerous Elites and Grunts with a plasma rifle this way. |
36 | * GunsAkimbo: Only replace guns with ''[[GatlingGood minigun]] and a [[ThereisNoKillLikeOverkill gauss cannon]]''. |
37 | * HomageShot: To ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' films. |
38 | ** A certain scene, with handguns swapped for ''rocket launchers''. |
39 | ** Another scene, with a metal pole replaced by a ''laser whip''. |
40 | ** Another scene, where Samus twirls around, with a metal pole replaced by MC. |
41 | ** The beginning of Zero Suit Samus's IntimidationDemonstration is a shot for shot remake of her [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introductory scene]] from the reveal trailer for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''. |
42 | * IDoNotOwn: In the end credits |
43 | * IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: A grunt demonstrates this with a shotgun right after the opening credits. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments On himself.]] |
44 | %%* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Samus. |
45 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: |
46 | ** MC. At one point Chief kills about 30 Covenant with a single sniper shot. |
47 | ** Samus, to a lesser degree, though she prefers to just [[MoreDakka spam various ranged attacks]] to cover her approach. |
48 | * IntimidationDemonstration: After the first time Samus activates her LaserBlade, she performs some basic cuts and swings with it. |
49 | * LaserBlade: Samus has one that not only cuts things but acts as a tractor beam, blaster, and stasis field generator. |
50 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: Samus lands and mistakes MC for an enemy. Asskicking ensues. |
51 | * MoreDakka: MC doesn't like having an empty hand, and Samus has the [[SpamAttack Power Beam]]. |
52 | * MorphWeapon: The [[TheParalyzer stun gun]] / [[LaserBlade laser]] [[WhipSword whip/sword]] that Zero Suit Samus uses. |
53 | * NeckLift: A Covenant Elite does this to an ODST near the end of the initial battle. |
54 | * OffhandBackhand: Done by Samus to a pair of elites, while DualWielding a pair of energy swords. |
55 | * OneManArmy: Times two. |
56 | * OutrunTheFireball: Samus uses her rocket boots to fly herself and MC away from MC's last-ditch attack, which is to set off the Spartan armor's self-destruct bomb. |
57 | * PinballProjectile: MC combines this with a SniperRifle, a pair of Energy Shields, and some ''serious'' ImprobableAimingSkills. ''Twice''. |
58 | * PistolWhipping: |
59 | * ReverseGrip: Used to stab ''two'' enemies [[BadassBack without turning around]]. |
60 | * RocketBoots: Another reason why Zero Suit Samus rocks. |
61 | * RunningGag: '''[-Crotch:-]''' *ffzzzt* [[spoiler:Which actually doubles as ''{{Foreshadowing}}''.]] |
62 | * SamusIsAGirl: The effect of the trope name was replicated for Master Chief. MC was surprised (and aroused, as the sparkle crotch indicates) to find this out. [[spoiler:Turns out MC is a girl too. It's short for Master ''Chick'' and she's meant to be [[http://deadoralive.wikia.com/wiki/Nicole-458 Nicole-458]] - the secret Spartan character from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive 4''. Her identity is made explicit due to the number on her unarmored model's bodysuit]]. |
63 | * SelfDestructMechanism: MC's Spartan armor has a detachable breastplate that can be set to detonate like a nuclear bomb. |
64 | * ShoutOut: |
65 | ** Samus' whip sounds like a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]]. |
66 | ** As well as numerous shout-outs to ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' series. |
67 | * SigilSpam: The ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' logo appears on the back of MC's under-armor bodysuit and the chest area of MC's dance outfit. |
68 | * SomethingElseAlsoRises: [[spoiler:Distaff example. Since the Chief was actually female, instead of getting a boner, she got wet.]] |
69 | * SphereOfDestruction: Courtesy of the Spartan armor's SelfDestructMechanism. |
70 | * StatOVision: |
71 | ** Threat level -- [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale '''Massive''']]. We don't get to see any faces during the battle, but at this point, an OhCrap reaction can be implied. |
72 | ** Before removing the outer armor, MC's HUD goes through a booting up, including the Bungie logo and "SO VERY TIRED", which was either our Spartan's feelings on the matter or that of the AI in said warrior's armor. |
73 | * StealthPun: There were two different Floods in this video; one resulted in sparks. |
74 | * SticksToTheBack: Justified. The SPARTAN armor is magnetized to provide this precise effect. |
75 | * ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: MC cuts a Covenant member in half with a thrown shield. |
76 | * TheWarSequence: [[ZergRush Zerg]] have nothing on the [[AttackAttackAttack Covenant]]. |
77 | * WeaponizedExhaust: Samus's rocket boots do more than just lift her up. |
78 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: The SPARTAN's unarmored appearance has never been revealed, but [[spoiler: according to ''Dead or Alive 4'' Nicole has a [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure BWH of 49-30-41]], a good deal more shapely than her unarmored model in the video]]. |
79 | * UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: [[invoked]] Samus Aran vs Master Chief is sure to be a showdown for the ages. [[spoiler:Samus Aran vs Nicole-458 turned out to be one of these.]] |
80 | * WaveMotionGun: Samus with her Zero Laser. |
