Halo Reach... Definitely one of my favourite childhood games... Waking up at 7:00 AM to play it on the weekend, or playing until 8:00 PM on school days. Getting it as a gift on Christmas day, alongside an AT-ST figurine. Played it for hours.
I’ve played so many games, but let me tell you, this game is so ahead of it’s time. The campaign was phenomenal. The multiplayer brought you to find so many new friends. Custom lobbies were full all the time. It would let you search by whether you like quiet or loud teammates, and good time or winning mindsets. The armor in this game is the most iconic I’ve ever seen. Everyone had a different look, and every player had a unique play style (not just using the same guns because that’s the “meta”). Whether you were a competitive player or causal wanting to have some fun, this game was perfect for you. And the SOUNDTRACK, don’t even get me started on how powerful the feelings of nostalgia are when you hear a song from the playlist. The amount of detail, customization, and features like forge and theater mode brought the funniest/ best moments on this game. I just barely even started, there’s no much I’m leaving out, like all the popular custom game modes (teacher, splatter monkey, get out my house, etc.)! This is in my opinion the best game I’ve ever played, and if you didn’t get to witness it in its entire glory, I truly feel bad for you because you missed out on a masterpiece. RIP Bungie!
@@macdt95 store.steampowered.com/app/976730/Halo_The_Master_Chief_Collection/ dont worry though, not much will be lost since the games will live on through this, shame people wont experience the original menus though
one of my friends gave me a disc copy of reach, still in its original plastic wrap packaging. there were about 3k-5k people in matchmaking at peak hours.
im so glad you made this video, it takes me back to when my sister would flip through all of the options and look through everything and I would sit there and watch, taking in everything, from the theme songs to the clicking sounds, to just the background, this made me cry from all the memories and nostalgia I got
Me and my boys used to play halo reach all the time, now we’re about to graduate, we’re not kids anymore sadly, we’re grown men, grown men who love halo reach
Dude, this is one of my first halo games. The last best halo game that Bungie made. I wish they kept the old menu in MCC, The 360 Era was the best for sure 😢
Little things, like the fact you could make your own emblems, you could earn credits rigth across the game (campaign, multiplayer etc) to mix and match the kind of armour you wore. Makes you realise how much gaming has changed. All of the above is basically behind some kind of real money paywall. I don't like to be too negative about how gaming changes as it can be a good thing, its just hard to see it that way when the some of the bigger newer changes make the whole experience fundamentally worse :(
This brought back memories. Feburary 2011 I just bought my 360 S and this game at the same time. and ever since then I made so many friends along the way. mostly in this game in matchmaking. back when people actually put their mic in and talked to people online. Many of those same friends im still friends with today. many I havent talked to in many many years. I hope they are ok.
Its hurts me to hear that the 360 servers for Reach, 3, ODST and 4 are shutting down. I've made so many good memories with Reach. It was the first game that got me hooked on Halo and made it my favorite FPS series of all time. At least we still got MCC lol. But RIP OG 360 servers.
MCC ain't the same though. All the armor that you grinded for on OG Reach and 3 gone now. 343 should've have let you transfer your old stuff over to MCC instead of the tier system.
3:42 I wish there was a version of this somewhere, it's my favorite track in the entire soundtrack. I know its the same tune as the Winter Contingency theme, but its not the same as this short version with the guitar mixing so high
It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild Rip halo reach

Reach was such an awesome but depressing game. You got all attached to the squad and one by one they started dyeing. And you knew no matter how hard you tried there was no way you would be able to save the planet. Reach would fall.

Everything was just made to be perfect on release back then. Its a real shame how the gaming industry and especially multiplayer games have just devolved. The leveling system, so much earnable rewards, great maps, tons of fun game modes, and man the custom games. I could keep going, announcer, animations, etc. I wish It were simply me having nostalgic memories, but really this game is just.. It just doesnt compare to anything now.
Thats why i value so much of those games, they had the necessary to have fun and some extras, games now have a standard of being an addiction or loopfest.
