    Reach's home screen was another reality as a child. Such an awesome game.

    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)

    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
