6:27 I remember getting accepted into this beta when testing the new xbox dashboard before release. They sent me a reach beta disc in the mail and I felt so cool being able to play this before any of my friends. Back then, I had no idea what an NDA was lol
I remember having it on XBL. My buddies and I all we’re chomping at the bit for it to drop. One of my homies even stayed home the first day it was released. It was incredibly fun.
I will never forget all those memories I had on the original 360 servers back in the day, I no lifed the hell out the multiplayer back when I was a teenager and not a single bit of it do I regret. This is my all time favorite game period and always will be, glad to be a Halo Reach veteran. Remember Reach.
Fun fact at 0:56 the third Spartan in the gray armor is actually wearing Mk.V with a Mk.IV Helmet and shoulder armor. This image actually does make it into the final game on the "Team scoring tab" Originally Mk.V and Mk.IV are supposed to look identical the only differences are Mk.V has a more angular helmet, different shoulder armor, and shield emitters. Isaac Hannaford has more images of this design on his artstation as well as a redesigned SPI as well.
The WIP reach soundtrack is so awesome- If there was a way to somehow extract the files for that… I’ve been trying to look for the music ever since watching this.
Downloaded this in case it gets nuked. Multiple Guardian Forest videos have been taken down and I'm not making that mistake again. Considering I haven't seen these mockups or concept art anywhere else... I appreciate you taking one for the team in the event this gets nailed. (Unless this is readily available stuff already, I guess I wouldn't know)
This game defined me and I’m surprised at all the stuff in the pre-release compared to what we finally got, especially the soundtrack holy! But still definitely liked how it turned out. Best Halo game imo
The drone was a continuation of the drones we see in the start of uplift reserve that fly over Dutch, so I don't think it was an early prototype of the sabre
Mcc took the greatest thing about reach from us, ITS MENUS god dude I forgot how good the customization menu and even just the main menu looked. God I hate 343
People say videos are underrated a lot on UA-cam now but like actually what the fuck UA-cam algorithm like bro also for true engagement comment:Halo Halo_studios Reach Halo_reach cool awesome enjoyable engaging epic halo video cool halo documentary
Reach's home screen was another reality as a child. Such an awesome game.

Here's the track from another creator

man, the old halo UIs were so awesome. It's such a shame they got rid of them in MCC. cool vid
Holy cow that music was so raw sounds incredible. I'm glad you pointed that out.
really well put together video. Was shocked when I saw you only had 390+ views on this, deserves a lot more. Keep up the grind
I was looking for a vid about it but couldn’t find it til this was just recommended to me.
Halo was always a special game series. I love these documentary style videos. Subscribed man, would love to see more in the future.
More to come!
Back when game devs were allowed to have fun.
POV you have no idea how game development works.
The 90 hour work weeks bungie did while crunching these games sound soooooooooo fun dude
@ true. But at least they weren’t contractors and could make what they wanted for Halo.
Honestly a lot of those early UI elements remind me of what we ended up seeing in Destiny.
man i love halo reach.
Some seriously cool things I've never seen, love to see Reach stuff
Thank you for uploading this brings back tons of memories of the golden age
Halo Reach was my very first game and holy shit it turns 15 this year
Well researched video, my guy. Reach is such a masterpiece of a game
god i rly miss the 360 ver of reach that menu was really awesome and im so happy that it was my very first online gaming experience
Remember reach and remember us when you'll have thousands of subs
That's a pretty cool soundtrack from very early build!
Microsoft really should consider letting Halo do another spinoff standalone game like Reach.
Nah they really need something loke odst this tome an actaul marine or touch on the books.
Or letting halo go to another IP
This game defined me and I’m surprised at all the stuff in the pre-release compared to what we finally got, especially the soundtrack holy! But still definitely liked how it turned out. Best Halo game imo
Funfact: lets be glad the rights for the ost are with bungie.
Which is more concerning with the leaks since what happened with "the Marty dilema"
This will always be the best Halo game ever made. Bungie's magnum opus
The best Halo ever made
The big team battle mission/mod that was on the e3 demo that supposed to be in the game is something that could be brought back
The drone was a continuation of the drones we see in the start of uplift reserve that fly over Dutch, so I don't think it was an early prototype of the sabre
The menu music was in the public beta. Variations of the lone wolf theme
I miss the old halo menus/ui, I need it to come to mcc...
Good content bro. Thsnk you.
This game made my childhood
your audio mixing could use some work, but youre on a very good track
Agreed! The next video will have much better mixing 🤘
3:10 looks like Halo 4's Exile map
That explains the wolverines in halo wars big oooooooooh moment
I've forgotten how good Reach's menu art was
Isn't the drone plane visible in ODST? And on the Carrier outside of Longshore
was this also stuff from the 100gb data leak from halo or was it something ellse
Goldmine for halo reach modders like myself, absolutely nuts
Bungie had a toggleable skill based matchmaking
And it was still loose and sheet, beautifully perfect sbmm
I thought this was the other mcnasty I was so confused😭
We need those reach tracks
That apc looks like the aliens apc
How were u able to run these builds?
Since when was there a released halo reach alpha? I don’t remember that ever being released
The music is a bit too loud to always hear your voice
Peak 🥹
Mcc messed up the customization
How much of this is from the leak besides those 2 screenshots?
dude I can't hear you the background music is too loud, your voice is too low
Mcc took the greatest thing about reach from us, ITS MENUS god dude I forgot how good the customization menu and even just the main menu looked. God I hate 343

MATHMAIN
This hud looks so much better than the final one
yooo remember when we used to play halo 5?
Please learn how to mix your voice and video audio
☠️🙏🤫
Sorry.. classic?
Reach was the worst halo ever made. Unless youre talking single player only
Better than 343’s vision
Cap
@@Lt.Chimp117 LOL random primary
weapons =/= good game
@@KeyBrute bungie proved they lucked into h1 and h2
I couldnt really hear the commentary in the intro, turn up your voice! love the video!
