This game has the best soundtrack I have ever heard in a game. It's so emotional and uplifting, it makes you feel like the entire world's against you and you're out of gum.
Halo is such an incredible series. Halo Reach is an amazing game, possibly the best fps shooter ever. I have no idea how anyone can dislike Halo Reach. It's just a masterpiece, like The Godfather II of videogames.
God, this game is awesome, for those of you who are thinking of getting it, YOU MUST, the story is intense and has very good gameplay with more variety in forge world now.
just started playing Reach on my Xbone since now it's reverse compatible and just clicked to digitally install. anyways, haven't played this in years and wow, it still looks and plays amazing, I mean some scenes look better than Halo 4 or 5. honestly the space piloting scenes are breathtaking. and I am not a halo fanboy at all what do ever. I play games like tomb raider and uncharted in the regular. laters!!..
You can see the menu at 1:45 Campaign- story mode Matchmaking- online (also online firefight) Firefight- game mode Custom Games- to play custom games with friends online or locally on the console (this is where you can edit the game options before starting the game) Forge- edit maps Theater- go to recent games and to watch replays
@CFL0LSmilyFace I find quite hard to navigate the menus and understand all the options. If i would like to play Firefight together with two other players against a neverending onslaught of Covenants, how do i do that?
@essboarder23 Thanks for the info. I have no XBLA friends yet, can i still play Firefight where the game searches for other players who wanna do the same? How does the Theater work by the way and how do i record my gamesessions? Thnx again
Ive just purchased a 360 for the first time along with this game but find it difficult to understand the menu-system. He talks alot about all the different multiplayer-options. For example "Firefight", how do i launch that?
I am thinking of getting reach, but don't know if its worth it or if i will like the game? I am use to playing Cod and never played halo, but this game looks really cool to play...
@whonow09 NO, they announced that its the final game they will be making. 343 Industries is now in charge of the Halo franchise, and plan to release a Halo game every year.
This is the first Halo game that I've owned, and I've never been a huge Halo fan. In fact, I disliked 3, but this game is spectacular. Great graphics, awesome story, and great gameplay. Not to mention that online matchmaking is some of the greatest stuff I've played. The lack of maps is kind of bad, but make no mistakes that this game is honestly great. I can't get enough of it, and it always seems to be the game I pick to play over all the others. Don't miss out on this game.
can anyone help me i havent played on live for awhile and today i decided i would so i put in my disc and everything then when i was waiting for a game my game wouldnt find anyone my nat setting is open i tested my connection perfectly fine but when i tried to go back to the lobby it freezes for a minute is it my disc thats not really damaged or is it its putting me with people with shitty connection because i heard in the AM it gives you shitty connection people ?
PS3 fanboy here. Will most likely never go and buy a 360 but I do have a deep respect for halo. It was a first love per say. This looks awesome and will defiantly envy all my friends who do play it.
@Kevin112793 Not sure if that's enough, but if you just want to play casually for campaign and multiplayer i think its fine. Because halo allows you to take pictures, videos, and make your own maps,etc. which 4gb might not be enough for all of that.
They arent randomized. That only happens on a specific gametype called Infinity Slayer. The spawns are still normal in Team Slayer and Stuff. Look it up and youll see.
@TheFly212 You'll be happy to know that there are two "new" halo games on the way. The first is CE with modern graphics etc. and halo 4 is also being made. Sadly know, these aren't being made by Bungie.
My favorite part of halo 1 was the pistol. Then Bungie down graded it In Halo 2 - I liked Dual wielding, Then Bungie made it useless with all the distance weapons In Halo 3 - I liked the Spartan Laser, then they made it less powerful and it can only had 4 shots. In Halo Reach - I liked assassinations, despite all the flaws in it now, how could they possibly make it worse in the next Halo game?
halo reach may not have 60 frames per sec like cod, but halo reaches graphics are just stunning and beautiful, and cods graphics are outdated. i've always loved halos visuals compared to other games because it just looks pretty
@TheWtflolwtf The same, but the Banchee can't shoot the fuel rod and the plasma cannon at the same time. You gotta press Y to switch weapons in the Banchee now.
There is absolutely no reason to hate this because it's obvious you can fix it to your liking, if you want to make it competitive play swat, if you want to play racing in an fps game, you can amazingly do that, bungie created a game were you can't hate this game because you can fix it to your liking.
I feel happy to own this game. This review made it feel epic, and the review made it feel like a lightning bolt had just hit the tip of my penis. I'm about to go play this game right now. Bungie put a lot of hard work to bring the Halo games that they made end with a bang.
i know tht the spartan program began on reach, how come it never took place on earth or anywhere else ? if any1 could help me out id be appreciative thx :D
Warning: i am a noob i have never played this game um do you always have to use spartans can you use elites in multiplayer firefight and shit like that?
@EchavarriaJr Dude very short campaign? It took me at least 8-10 hours to finish it, there is firefight which now also has matchmaking and different arenas, theres forge world, theres campaign with 4 player split screen and matchmaking, and then theres a fun online. What the hell more do you want from a shooter? Oh and theatre mode for machinimakers.
@506dude Reach is an excellent game to start out with. You'll find that a lot of multiplatform shooters can be anything from slight to dramatic in terms of similarity to a PC counterpart. Although I prefer games with the "halo-speed" on console over PC, the faster games (CoD, Homefront, Hat-fortress 2) work wells on console too.
Remember Reach
This game has the best soundtrack I have ever heard in a game. It's so emotional and uplifting, it makes you feel like the entire world's against you and you're out of gum.
Thank you Bungie for the memories and happy times. You will be remembered forever on my 360. :'')
This is one of the best reviews I have ever heard wow. Very well written
This is a very good review.
Halo is such an incredible series. Halo Reach is an amazing game, possibly the best fps shooter ever. I have no idea how anyone can dislike Halo Reach. It's just a masterpiece, like The Godfather II of videogames.
Best halo of all time
Will kilo you
God, this game is awesome, for those of you who are thinking of getting it, YOU MUST, the story is intense and has very good gameplay with more variety in forge world now.
Ok, why couldn't Halo 4 have the same menu system? That irritates me so much!
yeah sometimes the developers are just blind to simple things. Why dont they hire a gamer to check everything simple. if its good or not.
IKR
Buuut WHHYYYYYYYY??? :,(
kcus kcidu DUUUUUUUUUHHHH
kcus kcidu I wanna reply to it but the reply I have in mind is kinda fucked up so... yea.
You did an amazing job on this review.
just started playing Reach on my Xbone since now it's reverse compatible and just clicked to digitally install. anyways, haven't played this in years and wow, it still looks and plays amazing, I mean some scenes look better than Halo 4 or 5. honestly the space piloting scenes are breathtaking. and I am not a halo fanboy at all what do ever.

You can see the menu at 1:45
Campaign- story mode
Matchmaking- online (also online firefight)
Firefight- game mode
Custom Games- to play custom games with friends online or locally on the console (this is where you can edit the game options before starting the game)
Forge- edit maps
Theater- go to recent games and to watch replays
All halo games are fucking epic am i not right. H4 is killer dont hate.
+UltimateGamerzz lol get better at the game and you can win.
Ferarri Brown H4 is terrible and H5 is bad
Ferarri Brown killer bad
Take out armor abilities and this game fucking rocked
Still having fun in 2021
@iliketwinkie thanks man. also if i get the annaversary map pack do i play with the people who have halo cea? or just with the people who have reach?
@CFL0LSmilyFace I find quite hard to navigate the menus and understand all the options. If i would like to play Firefight together with two other players against a neverending onslaught of Covenants, how do i do that?
@TheCaptaunFrost Made a terrible misstake, pushed the open tray icon before i had removed the "safety warning tape". Is this something to worry about?
If i do as you said, "go to machmaking > co op > Fire fight", will the game search the XBLA for a suitable player that i can join?
@essboarder23 Thanks for the info. I have no XBLA friends yet, can i still play Firefight where the game searches for other players who wanna do the same? How does the Theater work by the way and how do i record my gamesessions?
Thnx again
@LynxRecover have u noticed how in cod the menus always have to load again once u get back???
they were talking about how the menu is easier to use
are you able to get credits off line? i mean by just playing firefight and on lan?
@1337lolguyman Which Call of Duty game pioneered the use of theater? I'm actually curious.
@outthereinit How could you have played it the other day when it came out today?
Ive just purchased a 360 for the first time along with this game but find it difficult to understand the menu-system. He talks alot about all the different multiplayer-options. For example "Firefight", how do i launch that?
I am thinking of getting reach, but don't know if its worth it or if i will like the game?
I am use to playing Cod and never played halo, but this game looks really cool to play...
are the online servers still crowded? because i may be buying it (:
02:55 is there a full version for that song anywhere?
i dont have this game yet and im wondering if i should get this or medal of honor whats awesome in this game
@whonow09 NO, they announced that its the final game they will be making. 343 Industries is now in charge of the Halo franchise, and plan to release a Halo game every year.

Great review. Reach was honestly the best console game I have ever played. This, SCII, and Cata will keep me busy for a long ass time.
one question, can you earn credits in offline campaign?
I loved this review
@xmikerinehartx right ok lol and can u run it through a pc monitor? cos my tvs shit but i got a decent monitor....
is this game worth buying a xbox 360 just to play and i will allso have no xbox live so will it be worth it ?
Great review
do a lot of people still play this game to this date? because im considering in purchasing this delightful looking game.
can anyone help me i havent played on live for awhile and today i decided i would so i put in my disc and everything then when i was waiting for a game my game wouldnt find anyone my nat setting is open i tested my connection perfectly fine but when i tried to go back to the lobby it freezes for a minute is it my disc thats not really damaged or is it its putting me with people with shitty connection because i heard in the AM it gives you shitty connection people ?
9:27 .... how do you get that bonus???
@Nigel361ten the bloom would be remove in certain playlist the bleed through system is back from halo 3
i was thinking of gettin an xbox 360 and i ws wonderin how much live is?
how much would it be to get all dlc for this game??
@trickmaster202 what title update? please explain
1:57
What does the halo 2 and 3 symbols mean on the players names?
I don't care what anyone says, this game is a Beautiful peice of work and a Monument to Bungie's 10 years in the business.
at 8:21 was that the same Mr Sark from machinima?
Have just bought a 360, would this be the best game to start with?
i really wanna buy this game but i have a slim 4gb will i still be able to play it?
Whats the theme at the end of the video?
6:58 That was a picture perfect kill
@NerfZoo The blur was never in any other Halo game, but in the beta testing they included motion blur to see if people liked it.
@liamtheawesome1 why did you remove it?
PS3 fanboy here. Will most likely never go and buy a 360 but I do have a deep respect for halo. It was a first love per say. This looks awesome and will defiantly envy all my friends who do play it.
Guys I'm thinking of getting a 360 (already have a PS3), is it worth it for the Halo franchise? I'll obviously pick up Gears as well.
4:42-7:47. Whats that theme called?
i got the legendary edition does any one know how to watch the directors commentary with out using halo waypoint?
About how long is the single player?
@Kevin112793 Not sure if that's enough, but if you just want to play casually for campaign and multiplayer i think its fine. Because halo allows you to take pictures, videos, and make your own maps,etc. which 4gb might not be enough for all of that.
Man, the armor customization here was and still is the best in Halo. Halo 4 just simplified the customization.
Whats the song that plays at 9:45 ?
@45hohee i don't argue about which game is better i play whatever game i want to play
They arent randomized. That only happens on a specific gametype called Infinity Slayer. The spawns are still normal in Team Slayer and Stuff. Look it up and youll see.
Gamespot reviews are the best!! Doesnt matter whether IGN's Reviews comes out first. Cause Gamespot is detailed!
@TheFly212 You'll be happy to know that there are two "new" halo games on the way. The first is CE with modern graphics etc. and halo 4 is also being made. Sadly know, these aren't being made by Bungie.
@CAPTAINDEGENERATIONX its called online multiplayer not just campaign...
hey guys i wanna buy this game but i have a 4gb slim and some people say u cant play online, is that true?
My favorite part of halo 1 was the pistol. Then Bungie down graded it
In Halo 2 - I liked Dual wielding, Then Bungie made it useless with all the distance weapons
In Halo 3 - I liked the Spartan Laser, then they made it less powerful and it can only had 4 shots.
In Halo Reach - I liked assassinations, despite all the flaws in it now, how could they possibly make it worse in the next Halo game?
halo reach may not have 60 frames per sec like cod, but halo reaches graphics are just stunning and beautiful, and cods graphics are outdated. i've always loved halos visuals compared to other games because it just looks pretty
CAN YOU PLAY SPLIT SCREEN FOR THE CAMPAIGN, PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER
@TheWtflolwtf The same, but the Banchee can't shoot the fuel rod and the plasma cannon at the same time. You gotta press Y to switch weapons in the Banchee now.
@frankyagernull wtf is jet force gemini?
There is absolutely no reason to hate this because it's obvious you can fix it to your liking, if you want to make it competitive play swat, if you want to play racing in an fps game, you can amazingly do that, bungie created a game were you can't hate this game because you can fix it to your liking.

Is halo reach a prequal to halo combat evolved the first halo
i know tht the spartan program began on reach, how come it never took place on earth or anywhere else ? if any1 could help me out id be appreciative thx :D
@07duncan17
Did you even play Mass Effect 2?
should i get halo reach or medal of honor?
@superZAKTAN Only in certain game modes. Play "Invasion," it's a game mode that is Spartans vs Elites
K so I really liked halo 1 and I thought halo 2 was ok but had problems. Did not like 3 or odst at all. Do u recommend this to me
@Bakunin53 and halo isnt run and shoot?? :P
Great review...I cant wait for work to be over so i can go home and play!
@SuperHeroMan411 do u like halo reach?
Lol at 4:02 when he said "Though a bit shallow" Sounded like he said "though a bitch" for a second
Its times like these where I wish that they still continued producing halo games for the pc or that i had an xbox.
@Actionboy619 Maybe cause they are both orchestral music?
Wow, fantastic review. Made the game sound so epic. Part of me wants to buy a 360 now.
What are the ten games? We have no idea on the choices. For all we know, you could've opened Hello Kitty Adventures Online or something
Warning: i am a noob i have never played this game
um do you always have to use spartans can you use elites in multiplayer firefight and shit like that?
and how does this eliminate camping? besides i posted this ages ago i have a different opinion now
@EchavarriaJr Dude very short campaign? It took me at least 8-10 hours to finish it, there is firefight which now also has matchmaking and different arenas, theres forge world, theres campaign with 4 player split screen and matchmaking, and then theres a fun online. What the hell more do you want from a shooter? Oh and theatre mode for machinimakers.
UA-cam 'Halo: Reach OST - Winter Contingency' it's in the second half somewhere
@draco601 I believe you got that on playing on Sept 14 (or the week of.) , or if your got Limited/Legendary edition, but don't quote me on that.
@ChriswithMatt it is the prequel to arguably the greatest first person shooter to date
@506dude Reach is an excellent game to start out with. You'll find that a lot of multiplatform shooters can be anything from slight to dramatic in terms of similarity to a PC counterpart. Although I prefer games with the "halo-speed" on console over PC, the faster games (CoD, Homefront, Hat-fortress 2) work wells on console too.
@andrewwk6
I'd probably get a 3 symbol then. I have 2 but I got it like 2 months before the old XBL went down so I didn't play much.
Alright, I have $20 and I've never had a Halo game. On top of that ODST now costs $13. Should I get ODST or save up for this?
I own both Xbox 360 and PS3, and PROUDLY say, this is the BEST game I have EVER owned. PS3 doesnt have exclusives like this. end of story
@evaquiel , yes u can, buy reach its awesome n cheap as well.
@SoaringDive it dosnt work on Opera, so.. :((
