Never forget the feeling you had when you booted up reach for the first time and feeling you had when you realized this was the last halo game made by bungie
Once those bongos kicked off that tribal theme and the main menu screen came up I got chills, it felt so different but still so very Halo; a return to the mystique and thrill of the unknown. To this day I'm not sure why it's such a hated game among us older Halo fans (especially novel readers), especially if you were keeping up on the pre-launch interviews, articles and videos the characters didn't feel shallow in the slightest. Reach and ODST are legendary, beautiful side stories that give context and a new perspective to the series, skipping the hope and over the top theaters of the MC saga in favor of dwelling in the more gritty and grounded notes of the lore.
As a Halo fan from Halo CE. Halo reach wasn't hated by me. It holds a very long and distinguished place in my heart and mind. Though glitchy and the movement were jenky I still love this game. The music, the game play, the storyline, just top tear. Remember reach. The elites in this game is still the most feared of these warriors. The invisible elites were very agressive. With a resounding whorah. Standing by 5-5
@@FilmCritictheone Nah I hated the core gameplay of Reach. Campaign, forge, and customs where fine but the rest? Well Halo’s pop decline didn’t conventionally start with Reach for no reason…
Experiencing the story for the first time years ago, I still remember the ever hardening resolve. Realizing slowly, that victory, doesn’t always mean going home….
How many of us started the game, expecting the epilogue to be some collection of “and they we later parts of these other important things” stories for each Spartan…. Till the first one fell… then another… At what point did it really sink in? “We’re not getting off this rock? Are we? Right then. Let’s get to it…”
The Fall of Reach is even though it is already the most explore area of Halo outside of the mainline games, still holds a great amount of interest & potential. With its fall, Humanity in Halo now entered the beginning of its darkest hours; but still it has its last, best hope.
What do you think would've happen if spartans and cortana managed to capture one of the Prophets? Personally I don't think much would have changed if Truth wasn't the one captured, if any of the other two were to be captured Truth might've made them martyrs and further drive his and the covenants hatred towards humanity Could be an interesting video. Love the mythos series keep 'em coming!
I'm sure if they captured any prophet or leader but Truth, nothing would've changed and Truth would've just told the UNSC to kill the hostage, that's how ruthless the Covenant was.
I disagree, but then again I played the entire series as a kid CE was my first although my personal favorite is Halo 3 ODST. It felt nice being some semi average but still some special operator in Halo.
Really good game, BUT, personally, I don’t consider it canon. Anyway, why am I saying this, because the whole game story makes absolutely no sense. Reach was the most important planet in the UNSC (besides earth of course), and it’s biggest Military asset, so there is no way the Covenant could’ve sent a scouting party and no one noticing. Also, the Pillar of Autum was already underway to kidnap one of the prophets on High Charity (it was already retrofitted with everything it needed to survive the mission), with a FULL COMPLEMENT of Spartan II’s, including Sierra-117 carrying Cortana. En route to the edge of the solar system in order to initiate their slipspace drive, the Pillar received news of Reach being attacked. Captain Keys turned back to help defend her. This is where the Spartan II’s separate into 2 teams: 1. Blue Team: their mission would be to initiate the Cole Protocol on a Prowler-class ship, the UNSC Circumference, docked on a orbiting station were the personnel had been unable to complete. John takes Linda & James for this mission (again, Cortana is with John at this point). 2. All other Spartan II’s, with Fred as leader: their mission was to protect the orbital Super MAC Guns power stations down in the surface of Reach. So, the timeline, and story make ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. It is known they ignored what was previously written in “HALO: The Fall of Reach” (which THEY APPROVED and made canon), because they lost the IP to Microsoft. What did they do afterwards? They decided to mess everything up out of spite. Bungee messed the whole canon which they so ardently fought to protect before just because they wanted to. Again, this blatant disregard to canon by Bungie is well known, they even deleted the thread within their site when everyone spoke up about it.
One of the most discouraging parts I find about Reach, for humanity at least, is the sheer cost the Covenant paid in blood and ships just to take it. It almost makes it seem like it was worth it until the Covenant show up with another massive fleet around Unyielding Hierophant like they're going out of style. It almost always seems like whenever you give the Covenant a bloody nose, its really just a pinprick because you're a mosquito and they're a full grown grizzly. You're just cutting down one giant tree thinking its the forest.
So something I always wondered but keep forgetting to ask around is what is the gas/fog that is in space around reach? I would think its a nebula that is made more noticeable than normal, that or if would be leaking plasma if it is star trek or something
Reach tvaoans were the only true skirmishers. The ones in infinite, heretic ruuthian cosplayers. Nice seeing them and going back to reach, if only for a moment.
Yes and no. According to the book Halo: The Fall of Reach, Cortana is ordered to make a random jump and decides to use a pattern she finds in a forerunner item as the coordinates. The item was found by the Master Chief on one of his earlier missions before he had even met Cortana. The covenant had invaded a planet, and the Spartans evacuate civilians and detonate a nuke to destroy the covenant forces, but not before dsicovering that the covenant had set up a base inside a human museum.

You mean the last good Halo
I didnt know until i beat the game and was like "WTF? NO!" 😢😂

The battle of Reach could be considered the beginning of the end for the Human-Covenant War.
Remember my sacrifice, Remember NOBLE Team, *Remember Reach.*
nonsense. Noble team is full of bland characters. Book > game

@@retr0pearce765
Nah, how ruthless *the trickster prophet* Truth *IS*
Meta, both physical and conceptually.
I absolutely love the story of the Fall of Reach. Both original and newer perspectives are brilliant! Thanks for making this, 00!
How can you get Fall for an entire planet? Surely if it's Fall in one hemisphere, it's Spring in the other.
the real questions
I’m somewhat of a scientist myself, said OP.
I still feel like Reach held many more secrets when we all played, I know some have come out but there has to be more to Reach.
Reach was my first halo game, and is to this day, my favorite having played all of them.

Finally someone who shares the same views as myself, I’ve been saying this for years man
Remember Reach!

Why was there no mention at all of the Spartan-II's deployed planet-side?
You would think visegrad relay would be more well guarded being that’s its important military satellite. Not just in some random farmers backyard ?
I was there I remember
I'm ready. How'bout you..
I have the gun.
Where was Chief for Reach?
This dude basically summarized the game and added no new value content getting lazier
Reimage my all of all team
Im just here commenting so that you get more interactions on videos lol, keep it up though.
its funy to hear hungarian words in a full english doku, or story. :D
Basically our Stalingrad.
I am ready. How about you?
favorite series of yours, cheers
Remember Reach
Reach tvaoans were the only true skirmishers.
The ones in infinite, heretic ruuthian cosplayers.
Nice seeing them and going back to reach, if only for a moment.
First comment, rock on 00
Remember bofa
I forget, was it a blind jump that took them to the Halo?
Yeah, could google it, but that doesn't help the channel lol. Comments do!
