yeyeyeye

I'm puzzled by your inability to think of other stories that focus more on the settings. Lots of stories do. Especially video games which mostly have silent protaganists that are plopped into a world without much explanation. The setting is all the game has. Silent Hill is a perfect example. Pretty much any haunted house movie. Lots of movies about virtual realities (Matrix, Tron). I would say even the original Halo was more about the setting. That was a heavy focus of the advertising. What the hell is this mysterious ringworld? That was the focus. A lot of historical dramas are focused on the setting. Jurassic Park has much less focus on characters and a lot more on how the park was built and why it is failing, specifically written/filmed as an example of how Chaos Theory works. Bioshock again is about the downfall of a great city. There is a great character element to it as well but I'd have to say the setting takes centre stage. Many Bethesda games are more about the world and lore. I can't even give a shit about the characters in most of their games and I don't think the writers do either lol. Just a few examples off the top of my head. Otherwise, good video as always dude!

Well I was certainly having a hard time thinking about it on the spot, either way that bit was to show just how rare those types of stories are. "Mostly unheard of" is how I put it :P

Half-Life is another great example. Honestly, besides the Nihilanth and Gonarch, I think Freeman is the only named character.

The Act Man the first halo game is another example of a setting-driven story.

And what a beautiful loss we suffered along the inhabitants of Reach.

how ironic.

I feel Reach has a very similar story to FFVII: Crisis Core. Which is fine, because they are both great games.

Lol 😂

I WAS GOING TO LIKE BUT YOU HAD THE HOLY NUMBER 117, SO I REFRAINED sorry ;)

Something Emile will totally say.

-The SpACTan: It's a good thing the psycho is on our side.

*[Emile two klicks away from the gate covered in blood and gore]* Emile: "defending?"

I actually slunk down in my chair like "Fuuuck... Really?" when playing through it for the first time yesterday, then Kat's death hit soon after like "Fuck, it's all falling apart, no, no no..."

@@zachsilby4569 how'd you go with the rest of the game/noble team?

@@GreenDinoRanger After Jorge was Kat, I was surprised she went next, but it didn't feel forced, as sometimes the enemy just gets the jump on you. Carter I gave a nod of respect to, after seeing the plasma injury at the beginning. Emile I grinned but also went "damnit, dude.."

Where does he say that? And about whom?

@@F1fan4eva Carter says that on the mission where you fly around New Alexandria when you just arrive after being picked up by the pelicans to regroup with Noble team, he's talking about Jorge thinking he saved Reach by blowing up the one cruiser, not knowing after he died, a whole armada showed up.

It begins with his helmet being on the ground, and ends with it in the same spot.

@@user-jw8yh6yq1p Untrue, that’s not it, they show the end when you start the campaign. The helmet you see is cracked meaning it couldn’t be before the events of the campaign.

@@Shtifu Yeah, that's what I meant. Ik the helmet is there after the events throughout the campaign and not before. I was talking about how it shows noble 6's helmet when the campaign starts and ends.

@@user-jw8yh6yq1p my mistake, have a good day

@@Shtifu wasn't the intro like in the future, where humanity terraformes reach to make it habitable again?

Holy sheet that comment makes me cry. Halo it's nothing about only the chief, but all the hummanity that help him to make his story much esier it could be. Halo means much more than that. That's why Halo Reach is my second favourite after Halo 2.

It’s crazy how much easier they Covenant would’ve been defeated if Six was able to get on the Pillar before that supercarrier caused him to stay. Him and Chief were the best Spartans to exist and only overwhelming odds stopped Six and Master Chief is still around. Too bad for 312

If six instead of jun was the one to get on Pillar the damn spartan IV project would have been unnecessary. 2 legendary badasses (and the arbiter I guess) would have been conflict over, war won, gg. Just remember: That pussy Jun retired (yeah whatever he supposedly was too depressed over the loss of his entire squad, but Chief lost way more comrades that he GREW UP WITH *cough* Spartan II program in a nutshell *cough* ) Six could have been just as good as Chief, I mean the dude was a solo headhunter in all likelihood before being shipped to Reach.

Halsey apparently stated that Noble 6 was the only Spartan III that was on-par with Master Chief...

But cortana didn't pick noble six right? Wasn't it dot? my lore knowledge is very rusty

There are mid-mission cutscenes that show noble 6 :)

Except he only ever has an Assault Rifle and Magnum for those.

no he was talking about the weapon's and noble 6.

Mighty considering they say they’re gonna make halo games past MC’s story I hope they bring it back.

OMG Me too!!

Hahaha same bro. It’s a straight panty dropper

The way he said "back" got me

Emile was so iconic. Especially the way he went out. A straight G he was

​@mskdxnightmare That was Jun who said "No, gonna steal it back." But I think all the Noble Team was awesome in their own right.

Most agreeable comment award. It’s very easy to lose sight of that when playing in the Chief games. Not so much for real Halo fans who have played them all for years, but it’s forces everyone, especially those not very familiar with the franchise (outside of Chief) to understand the gravity of how fucked humanity was the whole time. And whine Spartans and especially Chief are insane. There’s only so many of them to be thrown at the covenant.

For REAL i see reach lowkey as like a memorial like we would do. But yes i see it more as soliders than heros too and i think its way cooler

It did feel gritty and raw a halo reach elite on legendary is basically and another player, they shoot on the move, rush u when ur shields r down, they know some lethal ass karate, use armor abilities, dodge ur gernades, throw gernades when you are in venerable positions, but the reward for killing them is the other enemies fight less effectivly

Halo odst seems more like that than reach

Michael Dude this was the first halo game I’ve ever played as a kid and to this day, I still have the disk but it’s badly scratched I tried some methods to clean it but it’s too late. I’m glad I get to play as emile or kat in gears 5. I would sell bo4 for reach but sadly no refunds, I’ll make sure to buy it again in the future

Insidious Marine Well Halo Reach is coming soon to PC and Xbox One at 60fps in 1080p or 4K in the Master Chief Collection with a new overhauled progression system. The multiplayer is free and the campaign can be purchased as a DLC for like $5 to 10$. Halo 3 ODST was $5 as well.

Herobrine Notch well thanks for saving me money

Yeah I love Reach for what the story is. The whole team is so bad ass and you get to experience all their roles in the missions and get to know them and how invincible Spartans seem to be. Yet it also shows how brutal and down to eart Halo's world can be even though Noble Team seems like it could mop every floor. It also makes Master Chief seem even stronger for those who like him, he's truly special after seeing how Noble Team fell, they did everything near perfectly, yet the force of the world outshadows even the best Spartans.

I also like how the deaths sometimes happen so fast, symbolizing that in war, death can come so quickly, without notice.

@@oneshot8913 This! Sudden and tragic, not like the movies

That's why his death hit me the most. His sacrifice did nothing, but only made things worse. His sacrifice was in vain.

In war, the enemy gets a vote

It’s terrifying

the piano tune the plays when Emille is carrying Kat's body after the glassing is heartbreaking, it shows that Noble team is getting picked off one by one and theres a sense of hopelessness.

@@deadponic117 Carter was the one carrying her. But yes the piano there is one of the best pieces of music ever put into a video game

Honestly that was the one death that really annoyed me because she had her helmet on and shields up, but somehow after all the fighting THAT one jackal shot was enough to kill her instantly?? It's always bothered me. If they had made an excuse for her to not have her helmet, i could understand it, like it got damaged or she had to see something technical she was working on and took her helmet off to get a better look... but just instagibbed whilst fully armoured never sat right with me. They could have done it way better.

@@NateTheScot the radiation from the glassing fried their shields, same as plasma weapons do

They all died well. And you felt each freakin one of em.

Reach is my personal favorite. If there's one go-to thing I quote from halo it's this: Remember Reach. God knows I will!

Its getting released on the Third of December bro so happy shooting

It’s terrible now

No splitscreen. :(

@@utisti4976 you said what?

@@spaceshipearth481 Halo PC doesn't have splitscreen. That was the one thing I wanted them to keep in the game.

Amen to this 🙏 Amazing game.

facts bro. the start mission when ur running alongside those emu things to encountering the covenant shortly after to then progressing into more and more hectic scenarios and watching the planet going to ruin in the background sceneries of the missions. reach is probably my most least played halo campaign behind 4 and 5 but its always stuck out to me as unique and beautiful storytelling

You know, Halo Reach had a Dark Souls-esque level of story telling. Each map had a redder and redder sky, and you can see the world fall apart.

Gives me chills thinking about Noble 6 and Master Chief killing covenant together

Imagine the feeling of closeness and "BRO" that you get from Army of Two, but in Halo CE.

Sometimes when I play coop for halo ce I like to imagine the 2nd player as noble 6 if he survived.

That wasn't six actually that was the first six the noble six you see in campaign is the 2nd noble six in the trailer she loses her arm but in the campaign she then has the robot arm, the campaign took after the events if the trailer

I think Act Man meant that it was where the story of Halo CE through 3 really started.

well, Spartans are supposed to be lethal supersoldiers with augmentations that make them superhuman, and a way bigger threat to the sangheili or the jiralhanae than regular UNSC marines

d4unit True, but that doesn’t mean that they are immortal due to ridiculous plot armor. Which is why I am appreciative of Reach despite hoping that more of them could’ve survived, it seems more realistic. Especially considering how the more recent games portray Spartans.

They make them lore accurate They’re not Superman They’re super human

@@MyLonewolf25 did i say they were superman?

@@dylanj950 i dont think he was talking to you?

Griffin Long Negative Infinity, I don't like it.

Griffin Long this is why I felt so bad when emile and george died, I loved those guys so much and they're just dead, I feel like I was actually there and could have done something but I couldn't

Agreed ;-;

Griffin Long That's what Bungie's games try to do. They try to immerse you in the character's shoes. With Chief, there was a bit of immersion, but in Reach, you customize Noble 6 to change what his armour looks like, to what YOU like. He pretty much never talks so that you can respond to the characters in your mind as if you were Noble 6. That's why Reach is great, because your spartan is shaped to seem like YOU were caught in this conflict as hyper lethal spartan. It makes you feel just as special as Chief.

Griffin Long, yeah, many of the moments in the game really struck me. They were pretty depressing.

Cringefest

Nah they hella dead. (This is a joke.)

Locke could have been a good character if they didn't try to shoehorn him into Master Chief's story. There's a lot of interesting stories that could or still can be told with him and his background, it just blows my mind that they stuck him where they did. Complete waste of a character.

I'd buy Halo 6 if it was just his whole squad dying

Y Tho apart from buck. Gunny’s the best!

what a nightmare...

Mr Nightwood It was, well the original Halo 5 story was gonna be cool.

Ya reach isn't the beginning. The beginning would be harvest with sgt. johnson. This is what sets into motion the master chief to save humanity and find the rings.

thats a really good point about how every one always points back to reach. it was the beginning og the end for humanity. we just pulled one out of our asses honestly

I was thinking the same thing... lol

@V-Rex Master Chief

Both of them don't have a chance Vs chipps dubbo

Oh my god... The feels...

Thinking he destroyed the cruiser, he thought the war would be over soon... Sadly that was not the case...

My thoughts exactly. I often refer to Rogue One as "The 'Halo: Reach' of Star Wars" when talking about it with people familiar with the game.

They also both retconned the original lore too. XD

TotallyRealistic it wasn't retconned completely. I'll have to find it but they actually fit Reaches story with the book Fall of Reach. It's not perfect but it does work. Personally I Follow the books and I just think of Reach as a game and just a game. Btw idk how anyone else felt when they first read Fall of Reach but it's what got me hooked on Halo and I was 13 or so and I been a fan and reading the books ever since. I wish they would have left the Forerunners more mysterious and I wish they never appeared in the games. I also love the Black ops of ONI in the books. I wish we had a game that was about the insurrection while playing as a Helljumper squad. Kinda like Halo Odst but I wanna feel more human. I felt like you could play like a Spartan still in that game. I shouldn't be able to melee a Brute as just a normal guy. A game based around more tactics and strategy rather than run and gun. Being able to call in air strikes, having squads where every member had a specific duty (heavy weapons, sniper, medic etc.) And always feeling like you are hopelessly outmatched when coming across a group of brutes or elites. Until the SAW came in Halo 4 I never understood why the UNSC never had a light machine gun. So in this dream game of mine the soldiers would have one for the heavy weapons soldier. Sorry for rambling,kinda stoned and just talking bout halo and the what ifs.

Difference being I actually like Reach. Both have amazing visuals, great music, and cool action, but I think Reach has better characters and it has amazing gameplay to fall back on. Rogue one doesn’t have that

Except the entire plot of rogue one is made by stupid decisions

@@ibrokemyownheart4953 Yes, on console.

Lol what? Reach's lack of good characters is what makes it such a flop for me.

Chris Topher you'd be the first one whining about too many cutscenes in the opposite case! I agree with the video, less is more. A squad wouldn't be providing exposition to the new guy, they'd just be acting like they always had before you got there.

Dude, what bothers me is that the deaths all feel either forced or down right bullshit. Jorge's actually had weight because he felt like he was gonna save the day and then we find more covenant. Kat died like a bitch though, 1 shot to the back of the head by a needle rifle, not a sniper rifle, but a needle rifle. Emile went out swinging at least, but I didn't feel anything from the guy since you see so little of him in the game. And Carted fucking kamikaze's himself into the scarab which feels pointless since you can defeat those things on your own anyways without killing yourself. It was just dumb.

theallaroundnerd agreed on all points. Jorge's death actually had me confused for a solid minute ("wait....didnt we just win? Awww shit") The rest felt corny and too "matched" for the character

True

Nathan McKenzie Yup. It pretty much was, I think they used like a virtual camera rig typically used for cg scenes in movies.

Nathan McKenzie especially on nightfall at the beginning where it feels like a camera man following you and jun

The Legendary Edition of Reach comes with a note that calls the game an "interactive documentary", Halsey's journal was declassified from the ONI and the statue was a memorial replica. It's really neat from an in universe perspective.

did you see that? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL15ldd8vbWrn5c.html the guy has a destiny cap in the developement of reach!

Markus Kraköwski so he was Achilles....his destiny was to die.

man wasn't a standard soldier though his story before reach is mostly covered in black ink by ONI but it's known that he made entire militia groups dissappear completely his previous commander named him his personal angel of death and he was tagged as hyper-lethal, and there is only ONE other spartan with that same tag and that's chief so he was by no means a standard soldier😂 but i feel you bro his destiny was to die with reach

I thought it was Six until I finished the game.

Oh yes nice comparison

It is, but I’d say there’s a difference in that Dunkirk is based off real war. It’s a very easy story to pick up, because there’s nothing a director needs to add to make it more about what it is. Dunkirk was about Dunkirk, and the people in it were all so important, yet unimportant. Again, Dunkirk is definitely setting driven, but I feel like the comparison is too easy! :)

GoldenGodlyGrunt Reach Made me cry, RIP noble team

GoldenGodlyGrunt you must have never played halo 3

JPGII96 halo 3 isn’t as good in my opinion. You gave up your life to protect Cortana and the dawn or the big ship cheif was on. With out you, cheif would’ve died and the covenant would have Cortana. Your character was a fucking badass

Inkling Boy that's the only reason you like more? That's not a very good reason or at least enough a reason. The best should have better and more fun missions. Great pacing and an epic story. Hitting on just 1 of these shouldn't win best campaign award. Halo 2 and 3 had the best story, CE had the best pacing, 3 had the best missions. Based off the based the best campaign would go to halo 3 (Halo 2s longer length is what puts it over 3 for many)

i don't think he mentioned anything about romance, he just hinted at a strong relationship which can make many things but I think you're right about those two

Mega Potato there was no previous noble 5

In winter contingency, when the zealots attack, noble 1 pushes noble 2 out of harms way.

Actually, interestingly enough, the developer commentary for Reach implies there WAS some kind of relationship between them. They mention it during the cutscene after Kat's death, when Six jumps over the hill to help the ODSTs (I think they were ODSTs, I can't remember). But yes, they otherwise did have a close relationship due to being the only surviving members of the original team.

Also I feel as if the halo 5 universe isn't realistic at ALL. I don't understand how master chief isn't just like allowed to do what ever he wants. Hes the reason for the defeat of the flood, and in halo 4 he SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVES EARTH FROM TOTAL ANNIHLATION FROM THE DIDACT

crazynico101 because thats not how the military or anything in real life works

I think the point was after all that Chief has done, it's a little strange (pronounced "bad screenplay") for the UNSC to be so suddenly distrusting and antagonizing of him, not how "anything in real life works".

Yea that's pretty much what I meant

Halo 5 is completely and utterly the worst halo in the series

I love Marty man, the recent ones are good but Halo 2 and Reach have perfect soundtracks imo

I love the music from this game, that and the atmosphere that presents the fight for salvation and the feeling of the inevitable fall.

InflamedCorgi you are sort of right. Jorge is obviously one of hers but the others make her confused and make her think someone is copying her/had another scientist make more Spartans differently at the same time. It’s later on when she realises that it was another program made afterwards

Wes Gilkey I always hated how ONI treated her like the criminal for what she did. Yeah it wasn't right but without her Spartan 2s, humanity loses the war. Her research made it possible for future programs to take her findings and improve on them with the updated tech. Let's not forget the Spartan 3s were kids too. They didn't go through all that the S2s had to go through but still kids. If anything it was worse cause they wanted to make them faster and cheaper and use them for suicide missions. But somehow she is the one to blame. I don't agree. No matter what they call all the future soldiers who wear the armor, they will never be true Spartans. S2s were the best cause they were bred to be the best and no one can come close to them. From 7 years old they trained together, ate, studied, fought and suffered together. They were the perfect squads and devoted themselves for humanity. Halsey did what was necessary and it turned out to be what saved all of humanity. They used her as a scapegoat when ONI knew exactly what was going on and they went along with it and funded it. If anything Halsey made sure everything was the best for them rather than treat them as a piece of military equipment

Yep. If Jorge was still alive, Halsey would have handed off Cortana to him.

InflamedCorgi tbh spartan 3 program makes more sense than 2 where someone has to have near perfect genetics to even be viable but still die and 3 was orphans from glassed planets and trained much greater numbers

She seemed like she had a different opinion of the III's (at least Noble Team) in Reach than she did in Ghost of Onyx. Halsey seemed to feel sorry for the III's when she found out they were sent on one-way missions, and the majority of the III's were wiped out. If I remember right, she felt sorrier for Gamma Company due to them receiving mind-altering drugs to make them more aggressive when they reached high levels of stress. In the book Last Light, they needed a cocktail of drugs to calm down and not go insane. It seems like in Reach, she has some scorn for Noble because they seemed more (with the exception of Jorge) like puppets in her eyes.

And hes feels sad when Jorge died...6 offer the dog tag and that make me think "why?".

My favourite badass dialogue.

Tomn8er it ties into Halo CE extremely well especially if you can forgive the lore retcon. Reach was the penultimate engagement of the human covenant war and marked the beginning of the end, it was always described throughout the games as this massive epic battle which entirely altered the war one that haunts the entire series like a ghost and man Halo Reach does this justice. I don't think any engagement was as escalated as Reach at least in the games. Not even the battle for Earth which was a bit downplayed for the most part.

Tomn8er Being ironic doesn't mean they're good characters. That means the writers didn't write them beyond their cliche's. I mean even their deaths are cliche and predictable.

Mario Badia I don't see how their deaths were cliche pls explain...

Meme Lord except jun

Except jun the scaredy cat

Snipers Aren't Suppose to get up close and personal unless your a mad man

The Act Man This is why I love Reach! Great vid, looking forward to the next one!

GhostOfRhurValley Jun didn’t die though

I always thought of an alternate reality where in the last campaign lone wolf if you were good enough at the game you could start your own rebellion and slowly take back reach by yourself. Which would be impossible but still. Fun to think about.

Deliver hope makes me cry every time I watch it. The music, the cinematography, the actors WITH THEIR HELMETS ON (looks at halo series by paramount+). So beautiful.

that isn't untrue.

Halo 5 has a great multi-player imo. The characters pop out from the environment on purpose

Naw, I hate reach because it was the downfall of the halo community that I was apart of since we all wanted Halo 3 2.0 and we got an entirely different game that felt like it was trying to copy call of duty, a view that was proved by halo 4 and 5. Reach is better than 4 or 5, but is no where nearly as good as 3, 2, or 1.

@@constable117 hay gota tell the lore of the fall of reach some how.

I respect your opinion but Reach trying to copy call of duty? How is Reach anything like call of duty? Now if you want to say that H4 tried to copy COD with loadouts, then OK I can see that. Reach had pretty nifty innovation by giving us armor abilities to spice up gameplay while still retaining the classic feeling of the game. The Halo community was very much thriving during Reach. Halo 4 was the game that turned into call of duty- everyone stopped playing after the first 4 months. I just have a hard time understanding how you can put the blame on Reach and not Halo 4 lol.
