That burgundy colored Field Marshal (FM) is actually the closest thing you get to a main antagonist within Halo Reach since he appears three times in the game to thwart Noble team when it counts. The first is Winter Contingency where the FM and his Zealots sabatoge the relay station in order to keep Reach unaware of the Covenant invasion and as well as to secure sensitive information about the Forerunners. The second time the FM appears is at the end of New Alexandria where he uses a sniper to kill Kat. I think it's worth noting that the FM could've killed any member of Noble team at that moment, but chose Kat out of all of them and likely not by accident since he also tried to kill Kat back in Winter Contingency with his energy sword. This is probably becuase the FM knew she had the classified data he was looking for at first and that she knew it's contents so he decided to silence her. The third and last time we see him is at the Mass Driver cannon where the FM and his Zealots kill Emile and neutralize the Pillar of Autumn's air cover. This is their last chance to prevent the humans from escaping with whatever they managed to escavate from the Forerunner ruins beneath sword base and they're not taking chances. But aside from that great sound track!
They could have made a whole game about them the ending couldve been that part where 6 kills all them imagine you get that point of view from an elite the same way reach ended
Considering how he was a recurring enemy throughout the campaign, I think the Field Marshall should have at least had a line acknowledging Six in English when you fight him in the end. Six has killed several of his zealots at that point, and the Marshall personally killed Kat, his zealots got Emile, and now he's finally face to face with the last Demon on Reach. If any nameless elite deserved to be given some lore, it should have been him.
Or even just something in Sangheili, imagine how cool it would be with them face to face in a grapple or something and it growls out something along the lines of "Die, Demon." in Sangheili tongue.
@@jaymon64anabel53 now the real question is, would we even be able to finish the game if we had the brutes from halo 2 and jackal snipers from halo2 in Reach as well? 0_o
I never really noticed that the Zealot music plays consistently when fighting them. And on top of that, its the same Field Marshal leading them each time. Thats Bungie's level of detail.
The best part of this game, for me, was executing the field marshal on the last level, he was the zealot with funky armor and a fuel rod cannon, as its believed he was the one that killed Kat and pretty much caused everything.
To expand upon this idea, I imagine it’s specifically broadcasts of their own being sent to the rest of the Covenant forces >>Encountered Demons at Relay Station >>One contact captured, advancing to junction >>Warn Long Night of Solace, continue as authorized >>Permission to pursue Demons? >>Negative Sentry-X, destroy junction, remain in shade. >>Demons within junction, unable to destroy junction >>The Great Journey remains >>The Great Journey remains… >>Avenge us, brother.
bungine did everything so great, I swear to fucking god if Disney somehow gets there grubby hands on the halo franchise I will nuke any headquarters that has any resemblance to disney
@@sidewinder9335 Actually the white elite that shows up at sword base is a special elite called a BOB. They usually spawn as a golden ranger elite in other missions as a rare achievement. But in the sword base mission, they spawn in white and as any elite type, be it spec ops, ranger, zealot, or even general.
@@sereghost844 ok? And he can't negate my own either. Why do you have so many likes as if you're advocating for that dude to be correct and people are like oh yup lmao
the nozzle of his gun looks like a happy little eel lol
You have just made the Fuel Rod Cannon 145% better with just one sentence
Bruh, now it'll be impossible for me not to think about happy eels whenever I pick up a fuel rod cannon lmaooooo

That Field Marshall was really a menace
And six alone kills them all before reactivating the mass driver.
Can you imagine being that field marshal and watching six wipe out your entire squad one by one
@@henrystammen5584 there is no fear amongst high ranking elites, only a good death

Nameless killer kinda goes hard tho
Reach elites were a whole other breed. Fast, strong, and terrifying on legendary. I loved it. Defeating them felt earned
They gave it their all man. Felt like I was always on my toes when I encountered Ultras and above.

@@Kermit_the_DILF Bro, don’t even say that! We would die. LIKE MILLIONS OF TIMES.
Truuuu
Bro the Ultras and Zealots were true menaces, but the H2 jackal snipers still out rank them in their own way…
1 victim, 7 bullets on the ammunition counter, 2 super soldiers, lots of foreign blood.
Clear the hole.
Reach is the only Halo to make the Elites feel terrifying, and I’m all for it.

This is definitely the inspiration of hive themes in Destiny.
Elites! Bring an energy sword.
@@enderzilla747orleomiranda8 bank those skulls, brotha!
I can imagine encountering the hive for the first time with this theme.
@@SpecGru_Ranger_I would be at least 10 times more badass
I can definitely hear a very similar-sounding guitar sample in there.
its funny that it took until 2021 for someone to properly put these tracks together. thanks for the mix!
Check out benmarshal801's channel, he compiled all of the tracks in the Bungie Halo games in his "Complete Soundtrack" series.
I've listened to a couple of them. They're really good!
In between the main events of the game the top spartan 3 squad and a single elite zealot squad are slowly picking each other off throughout the game
The best part of this game, for me, was executing the field marshal on the last level, he was the zealot with funky armor and a fuel rod cannon, as its believed he was the one that killed Kat and pretty much caused everything.
@Nexus_Stuff to be fair the biggest covenant victory would always be in space, and Thel led the fleet.
@Nexus_Stuff yeah I agree
@Haloguy3959Nah he went down like a baby to my energy sword
*"WE'VE BEEN ENGAGED!!!"*
BAD GUY COMING OUT!!
Awww im so proud of them
*(My brain when it hears this soundtrack always)*
"they're are still here"
*KILLING MODE ACTIVATED*
“That tango blew past me. Permission to pursue?”
“Affirmative four, get after him”
Happily ever after…
"Bad guy comin' out!!"
“ Negative four, stay on the entrance. Five and six clear the hole!”
this is what I imagine Flip music sounds like given it's the 26th century evolution of metal
Truly my favorite track from any game ever
This goes so hard I remember the cutscene its so intense I love halo lore
“I’M READY! HOW ‘BOUT YOU!?”
You are awesome for combining these tracks. Thank you so much.

when I first played Reach when I was like eight, I was scared shitless when this played over the Zealot ambush in winter contingency.
I like to think those weird electronic noises we hear throughout is the Covenants broadcasts causing interference
To expand upon this idea, I imagine it’s specifically broadcasts of their own being sent to the rest of the Covenant forces
>>Encountered Demons at Relay Station
>>One contact captured, advancing to junction

This stuff right here. This activates my fight or flight response. Same with the flood

It's a magnific mix!!!!! 5 stars
you are a legend! nice work
Hey i noticed only now that it slowly zooms out from an image
what a fucking banger, wasnt even looking for this but so hype!
Might be a hot take but this is the best halo soundtrack
W Soundtrack
W Enemies
W Game
Another running idea for a title prob be something like "Zealot's Decree"
Zealots dance
Pov: your playing reach minding your own buisness.
This song plays:
You: oh shi- *Energy sword noises*

bungine did everything so great, I swear to fucking god if Disney somehow gets there grubby hands on the halo franchise I will nuke any headquarters that has any resemblance to disney
Well 343 is already bundling up this franchise to hell so...
Disney would have to buy Microsoft to get halo, and disney is in a rough spot right now, so I doubt they have 1 trillion dollars to give away
How have I only found this now?
I love the fact that we got to absolutely mop the floor with these guys at the end.
They killed Kat and Emile though and took out a communication relay which cut Reach off from the UNSC.
@@dynestis2875 wow
"got to absolutely wipe the floor with these guys" unless you play on legendary

This song really fits with the halo reach. The halo 4 elites Song would probably be A song that An ice cream truck would play
3:09 what song was being played originally
AMBUSH
There are white zealots and field marshals in and around sword base maybe another unit there to look for forerunner artifacts
That's good theory! I'm pretty sure they run into some Covenant at Castle Base as well, so could be the same company.
@@sidewinder9335 Actually the white elite that shows up at sword base is a special elite called a BOB. They usually spawn as a golden ranger elite in other missions as a rare achievement.
