7:50 No, "gedink" doesn't mean get back, my best guess is the voice actor pronounced "get in" weird. "Azt mondtam befelé" means "I said go back inside", AKA "I already told you once, now do what I said" which makes no sense because he only tells them once
I don’t think Marty was the one that wrote the phonetic lines for it. I think he was just shooting from the hip on what he remembered the gist of it being
Reach is such a masterpiece, easily one of the best in the franchise and one of the best games in history. The characters and the story were phenomenal, 343 could have learned alot from the Bungie games. I sometimes wonder if anyone at 343 ever played a Bungie game.
Ah always good to learn from these kinds of videos. Also crazy to think, if you didn't stay and man the gun at the end, Halo 1 would've canonically had 2 spartans on board the Autumn. 1:27:20 Unfortunately tank controls still suck with keyboard on PC but that's 343's fault at this point.
technically linda was onboard the autumn in a cryopod serverly wounded from battles on reach. was ejected when the convenant attacked and was picked up by chief after the ring was destroyed and later resussitated by halsey
4:25 These dudes really thought Noble Team was going to outshine Master Chief due to "removable helmets." Sure Halo Reach is a great game, and the characters are fine, but Master Chief will always be the iconic hero of Halo. 343 had to learn this the hard way when they tried to replace Chief with boring Locke.
@@Evbuscus1 i dont think it was a poor choice. Bungie wanted chief on ice and bungie wanted to explore new characters. 343s mistake was waking chief and still trying to replace him.
It was confirmed by Martin O donald, that Carter and Kat were in a relationship. Because, they where the original noble team. Plus, that is why they are very close
Actually, they were wrong. The three protagonists that never had a face (Master Chief, Noble 6 and the Rookie) ended up being more iconic than anyone who took their helmet off.
marty is joking around and knows its a video game, the other guys dont have the banter or self awareness of how absurd halo like they did in the halo 2 commentary lol
I suspect the development of Reach was a much more serious endeavor than 2's. Microsoft was probably breathing down Bungie's neck quite hard during Reach's development after seeing the financial potential of the series grow with each new game.

@@ADUSN who did he work for at the time? Bungie. That makes it a Bungie novel. This isn't even debatable bro you're throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.
I couldn’t think of a better send off. Unlike 1,2, and 3, Reach and ODST didn’t have the limitations and necessary cutting and short cuts to finish them. Reach and ODST ended up, more or less, exactly like they wanted them to. A completed vision of all their efforts.
Nah, these are hands down the best Elites in the series, in both gameplay and their appearance. I love the armor for specific ranks instead of them wearing the exact same armor. Kind of a shame they didn't use those designs in Halo 2 Anniversary
@@nagger8216 I’m not a fan of them they look more like big jackals than elites. They definitely look better than the later versions but they don’t come close to the elites in 1-3
7:55 I'm sorry to say but NO. That "Hungarian" Jorges speaks in several cutscenes and what the farmers are saying is so bad that I didn't even notice it was Hungarian at first. I only noticed that it is because a few years later on one of my many playthroughs I decided to turn subtitles on. Without those, impossible to understand it's so bad.
Lol I love how they talk about how long the credits are but games now have even longer credits, halo infinite has 28 minutes of credits, this was only 7.
The game is so short and the characters are so one-dimensional that their death scenes don't land. If the game was longer and gave you more time to invest in these characters, as well as showing them interacting in more interesting ways, then it would've been impactful when they died. ODST did a MUCH better job at making you care for your squad, making their deaths actually feel sad and tragic.
Such a shame that Bungie is a shadow of its former self, and we all know Marty was unfairly fired back in 2015 I think? I'm betting none of these other high up Devs are there anymore either...
Got that right but even so with all the things they keep adding, the flood firefight and more, maybe one day either the Mods of TMCC steam or the 343 devs that keep making content for TMCC will add it.
Lmaooo yup. We also need need a level where we drive a warthog through a banished ship and blow up its core; a mission where we drive a forerunner tank; and one where we steal Atriox’s medallion.
And now Bungie is one of the scummiest and greediest video game companies around. Sad really. I hate how they pretend to care about gamers when they really care about their wallets.
@@Monko_pop uh did you listen to the video? They aren't being sarcastic. They literally say they were sensitive to it and got the dates right. The only joke is the description of a jigsaw puzzle, yet that just adds credence to how they're being serious. They even said it fits perfectly. Where's the sarcasm here? They reiterated multiple times that they were in sync with the canonical book. Obviously this isn't true.
@@SoulbentAnime not often someone has a solid argument to people saying “you can’t detect sarcasm?” but you did it, it’s hard to beat those sort of insults
@@SoulbentAnime they are saying it in a sarcastic/joking tone. i picked up on this too. it's funny because they are obviously aware the timelines do not line up.
Not at all. If anything Reach was the one that brought on alot of unwanted changes. But that's the issue, it's the community. Can't have everything stay the same, because why buy the next one? Can't have anything change too much, because why would I want to play something different? Halo has always changed. The only game that has any semblance of similarity was maybe halo 2 to 3. But even then it's very different. What was good back then wouldn't always be good these days to warrant selling the game. Now with Infinite, they are changing it yet again. It's not classic Halo as alot of people think. But it does look good. Also gotta mention that alot of 343 was old Bungie devs. Halo 5 had great multiplayer. Halo 4 had probably the best story of the series. I'd say, in my opinion as somebody who has been with the series since 2002, Reach is probably the worst one. It's not a terrible game, but I think it's the worse halo game.
@@SirBigWater Bungie released games mostly bug free and playable on day one. 343 has struggled up until Halo 5 and even after 6+ years of work for Halo Infinite they still can't seem to release a full complete game. I don't really need to go over this too much because it all speaks for itself.

@@ADUSN who did he work for at the time? Bungie. That makes it a Bungie novel. This isn't even debatable bro you're throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.
@@ADUSN I'm not wasting anymore time with you, take care.
That's not what they were talking about... bag.
It's like the Lorax. You know that he's dead from the start.
Bungie lost Halo to Microsoft and then lost their company to Activision. Everyone got fired!
Should have stayed with Microsoft, have one team to keep making Halo.. and the rest Destiny..
Reach was the last nail in the perfect coffin
I couldn’t think of a better send off. Unlike 1,2, and 3, Reach and ODST didn’t have the limitations and necessary cutting and short cuts to finish them. Reach and ODST ended up, more or less, exactly like they wanted them to. A completed vision of all their efforts.
I really wish they wouldn’t have changed the elites so much
Nah, these are hands down the best Elites in the series, in both gameplay and their appearance. I love the armor for specific ranks instead of them wearing the exact same armor. Kind of a shame they didn't use those designs in Halo 2 Anniversary
@@nagger8216 I’m not a fan of them they look more like big jackals than elites. They definitely look better than the later versions but they don’t come close to the elites in 1-3
Their movements are way too jumpy.. and their armour feels a little off..
I love these guys
1:53:00
Noble 6 dead re-confirmed
Nah he’s def in a cave
The game that killed Halo.
Bloom, sprint, and armor lock absolutely ruined the game and turned it into a COD-clone.
7:55 I'm sorry to say but NO. That "Hungarian" Jorges speaks in several cutscenes and what the farmers are saying is so bad that I didn't even notice it was Hungarian at first.
I only noticed that it is because a few years later on one of my many playthroughs I decided to turn subtitles on. Without those, impossible to understand it's so bad.
The halo 1&2 commentaries were 10x better
Lol I love how they talk about how long the credits are but games now have even longer credits, halo infinite has 28 minutes of credits, this was only 7.
Yet it's a worse game.
“Make them more iconic than Master Chief ever could be. I think we pulled it off.” 😂 Ok
I feel ya, the thing with me and it is, the death scenes feel so forced and various things conflict with the series
@@quarreneverett4767 naa
The game is so short and the characters are so one-dimensional that their death scenes don't land. If the game was longer and gave you more time to invest in these characters, as well as showing them interacting in more interesting ways, then it would've been impactful when they died.
ODST did a MUCH better job at making you care for your squad, making their deaths actually feel sad and tragic.
@@AssailantLFJoe Staten just has a way with his writing & dialogue for his story and characters.. he's the charm of Halo.
Thanks for bloom...........
10:22 I forget that they lived in Washington making this!
Such a shame that Bungie is a shadow of its former self, and we all know Marty was unfairly fired back in 2015 I think? I'm betting none of these other high up Devs are there anymore either...
Ok that was sooo cool. Would have loved to see them react to noble 6 dying at the end tho
Release the cabbage cut!
at 7:10 we demand a new gamemode on mcc about Moa's sucks 343 are in charge now, they probably will never have this.
Got that right but even so with all the things they keep adding, the flood firefight and more, maybe one day either the Mods of TMCC steam or the 343 devs that keep making content for TMCC will add it.
1:24:55 Halo 6 mission confirmed
Lmaooo yup. We also need need a level where we drive a warthog through a banished ship and blow up its core; a mission where we drive a forerunner tank; and one where we steal Atriox’s medallion.
@@nicholasdellipaoli226 don't forget we need to end it on a bang by strapping a bomb to Chief.
@@Selet101 lmao! Ofc how could I forget.
4:19 they just forgot about ODST. You could see Nathan Fillion's beautiful face and all the other uglies there.
What?
>Male/Female SPARTAN
>Saw SPARTAN faces
Halo 3: ODST wasnt about Spartans. It was abouts *ODST*.
OH MY MF GOD
this is a bessing
i got the legendary edition of this game but dont remember this coming with it haha
...Noble 6 "wayyy" deserves his/their own game..."everything" leading up to them joining Noble Team...?
And now Bungie is one of the scummiest and greediest video game companies around. Sad really. I hate how they pretend to care about gamers when they really care about their wallets.
And 343 isn't?!?
@@torturedkfpemployee883 never said they weren’t
39:51 Lol this funny
well yall got the dates right but yall got alot of things wrong
7:38 Bojler eladó?
4:31 ... right
define small team lol
Big various combine things… they took some inspiration from half life?
A Combine is farming equipment. Those big tractors with a huge plow and trailer
Reach Developers: Don't kill civilians, or you lose the game.
Also Reach Developers: *Kills a ship full of civilians a minute later*
31:06 These lies .... incredible....
Yeah I don't know if they are joking because that is a huge fucken lie.
are you guys bots? cant detect sarcasm?
@@Monko_pop uh did you listen to the video? They aren't being sarcastic. They literally say they were sensitive to it and got the dates right. The only joke is the description of a jigsaw puzzle, yet that just adds credence to how they're being serious. They even said it fits perfectly. Where's the sarcasm here? They reiterated multiple times that they were in sync with the canonical book. Obviously this isn't true.
@@SoulbentAnime not often someone has a solid argument to people saying “you can’t detect sarcasm?” but you did it, it’s hard to beat those sort of insults
@@SoulbentAnime they are saying it in a sarcastic/joking tone. i picked up on this too. it's funny because they are obviously aware the timelines do not line up.
reach was awesome odst....
31:05 LIES
343 destroyed halo
Not at all. If anything Reach was the one that brought on alot of unwanted changes. But that's the issue, it's the community. Can't have everything stay the same, because why buy the next one? Can't have anything change too much, because why would I want to play something different?
Halo has always changed. The only game that has any semblance of similarity was maybe halo 2 to 3. But even then it's very different. What was good back then wouldn't always be good these days to warrant selling the game. Now with Infinite, they are changing it yet again. It's not classic Halo as alot of people think. But it does look good.
Also gotta mention that alot of 343 was old Bungie devs.
Halo 5 had great multiplayer. Halo 4 had probably the best story of the series. I'd say, in my opinion as somebody who has been with the series since 2002, Reach is probably the worst one. It's not a terrible game, but I think it's the worse halo game.
Not really
@@SirBigWater Bungie released games mostly bug free and playable on day one. 343 has struggled up until Halo 5 and even after 6+ years of work for Halo Infinite they still can't seem to release a full complete game. I don't really need to go over this too much because it all speaks for itself.
@@SirBigWater Halo reach might be the worst halo game. But halo 4 and 5 aren't even halo games.
@@Filip1613 Halo 4 and 5 aren't halo games,
Literally has halo in the title, and Halo related stuff.
