The tragedy and feeling of hopelessness is something that few other games can mimic in Reach's campaign. 14 years later and it still leaves me speechless, if I were to recommend any game for the Xbox 360 it would be this.

Man I love halo, master chief and noble 6 are some of the best characters in gaming history
Multiplayer was just as beautiful. Halo climaxed at Reach.
Ahh yes… back when Xbox had exclusives. Good times
Survive
I love this game, the story stuck with me well after I finished playing it
Reach is the culmination of Halo, it’s all downhill from there
Master Chief collection $9.99 on Steam Spring sale.
Am I the only one that thinks reach absolutely killed halo, I hated it. Halo 1, 2 , and 3 were legit epic. Especially 2. With reach I fealt they started adding all this random dumb shit and I can barely ever remember the story, definately don’t remember it being worthwhile. Reach was the start of the downfall of halo for me. After 3, 5 is the only one that I somewhat enjoyed, and I used to be diehard halo fan
No coincidence that it was the last Bungie game. They went out with a bang.
“I know we’re losing, I just want to know if we lost.”
I played Halo since CE and its my worst Halo experience. Depends on people i guess
I played through it again recently and I was kind of cringing at how tacticool the dialogue was. It was a fun playthrough though
We should have gotten a Halo: Reach 2.
​
And in case anybody is wondering how the hell that would work, I have interesting lore for you. Spoilers: >!Not all of Reach was glassed by the Covenant. They left one and maybe more important archeological areas untouched as these contained forerunner technology. We also know several spartans survive, including Jun. Most of the elements of Blue Team escaped the initial glassing through underground top-secret UNI tunnels, using prototype weaponry. Many holdouts on Reach existed for awhile after the Glassing. A Reach 2 game about one of the surviving Spartans engaging in guerrila warfare, alone, isolated, struggling to survive, would have been massive Halo CE post-Flood vibes; no marines, no command. Even if they used one of the lesser-known Spartan teams that were activated for the defense of reach, that’d be just fine by me. More lore for these unknown Spartans that died before the events of Halo is always good in my book. !<
>!Additionally, we have a book based between Halo CE and Halo 2 (Halo: First Strike, well worth a read) that reveals how Master Chief got back home, and the exploits within that book are so freaking insane and awesome that they easily surpass any of the set-piece climatic situations we’ve seen so far in the games. Even if it wasn’t a Reach 2, we should have gotten a First Strike game. Nylund did an excellent job on it. !<
My only issue with reach is the Elites I don’t know why but they just look off to me everything else tho is top tier
Arguably one of the best Halo games. 343 fucked everything up afterwards.
As someone who just played through the entirety of the mcc over the past three weeks, to relive nostalgia, reach was the weakest installment on the mcc.
Game play wise it was by far the easiest and most boring.
I remembered reach much more positively when I played it on release.
However, it did have some good story moments like Jorge’s sacrifice. But the overall story was meh.
On the mcc I rank it:
CE = 2 >> 3 = 4 > ODST >> reach
Incredible
“Slipspace rupture detected.”
The last good halo game.
Funny coincidence, I just finished doing a legendary solo run for the achievement on mcc a few hours ago. Agreed it’s one of my fav games of all time
I will never understand why people liked this game. This is where the series died, terrible characters and boring story. Game just tried to be cod-lite
