The one things I was hoping to see the reaction of was with the cut scene of Keys' pelican landing on Autumn, there is the nice Easter egg. If you are paying attention, you can control the camera for a second to pan over to the right and see the Chief in the cryo tube you start Halo CE from.
@KAI ZAMMIT Jorge is the only spartan 2 on noble team, the rest of them are spartan 3s who were all trained by a spartan 2, you learn about it in the book ghost of onyx I believe.
Henry's come to see us!
The TV show is not made for fans of the games, they stated they are making the show for people who have never played the games. As such they are not using input from people who love and care about the games. If you do a video for it just be aware that it might not draw in the main halo crowd.
Don't touch the TV show. splits away from cannon and it's pants anyway.
The rest. go for it. forward unto dawn is pretty great
The thing about the deaths in reach, they are all ironic in a way to each character. Jorge is the hero, sacrificing himself to save reach, except it is in vain. Kat and her big head is taken out by a headshot, Carter goes down giving his team a way forward, Emile goes down fighting, and Six…Six goes down like the lone wolf they are.
Jorge is the only spartan 2 of Noble team the rest are spartan 3's
Fun Fact about the cutscenes, they were all done using in game assets and engine. for example the opening scene was one of the devs driving the warthog to the base.
I have a theory that George might still be alive somewhere. It’s a slip space bomb right? So what if the part of the ship that George was on was teleported to a livable world. Maybe not alive now but went through his own missions on à foreign world doing what spartans do best, being Spartans.
46:00 I believe the armor Noble Team wore was not the same kind that the Master Chief had, there's no AI interface.
The Halo TV show is pretty much divorced from the actual Halo video games. Paramount producers and the director (previous to the first season) have gone on record as to state they will not be referencing anything already established. One review essentially summed it up as nothing more than generic sci-fi given a Halo wrapper. They saw what Amazon was doing with The Expanse, figured that it'd be a good vg adaptation like Netflix's The Witcher, and hey-ho 3 different fan bases to suck money from.
Halo wars 1
You should watch the live action commercials for Reach, they give some of the back story to the game. Also these guys are Spartan 3's
That cortana is not the same cortana as chief because in the books chief already had her when he got the MK5 before entering the autumm. That cortana got fused with our normal cortana and with that the cordinates of THE FREAKIN HALO.
The actor of that godawful show is completely wrong though. We never, ever see Master Chief's face in any of the games yet we connect with him. People adored The Mandalorian, and never saw his face.
great vid man
Yes, the only Spartan II on Noble team was Jorge, everyone else was a Spartan III.
I'm surprised you didn't mention how after Jorge blew up the Covenant super carrier, a dozen more jumped in, completely nullifying his sacrifice as soon as he made it.
After George died noble 6 did fall straight down to the planet, and that ship on the ground was the one George blew up. Spartans are tanks! Love your reactions to Halo!
Noble six is supposed to be the player not just another spartan but you(the player) so rhat means noble six (you) saved the halo franchise
Noble 6 is one of only 2 Spartans to ever receive the "hyperlethal" designation, the other being master chief himself. Before joining noble team, 6 was a spartan headhunter, basically a spartan spec ops/assassin, and I reckon he's probably the ONLY other spartan that could beat the chief and only then if the fight was on his terms and not just a straight 1 on 1
June: Dying is gay. The best meme from Reach XD
nah he definitely fell lmao
So you know, Reach is the prequel to all of the Halo Games. This is the start of everything.
I don't know if it has been said in the comments, but a very good easter egg is the mission right before Lone Wolf(The last mission). If you hold down your camera stick to the left when the pelican is entering the Pillar of Autumn. You get to see a spartan(Hinting at it being Master Chief) in cyro pod in the bay.
I always felt like they were trying to get a handheld feel with the shots. Everything looks/feels like it was filmed by someone using a handheld camera. From the shaky cam, to the quick zooms. Galactica did similar with their action sequences
if you listen at around 19:38 or 19:39 you can hear the sirens for the grafton going off
At 830 you asked if people liked the Spartans. They were originally used to brutally suppress rebel uprisings prior to the covenant being discovered, and the Spartans here were deployed to deal with what they thought were those same rebels, and found covenant instead.
"You felt like Noble Seven"
Oh no. You're supposed to be Noble Six. It's why you can customize his/her armor right down to be how you want Six to be.
Whats crazy is the field Marshall that ambushed Nobel early the game that Carter didn't let Emile hunt and kill is the same one who killed kat
i think noble 6 didn't say no because he understood jorge the sacrifice he was making a noble one he'll die for us, to save reach, to stop this huge ship, and he respected it he didn't want to get in the way of that immense decision
I'd recommend keeping an eye on a YouTube channel called HaloFollower, from what I've seen they're making a fan story animation series of if Noble 6 actually survived, they have made a bunch of Halo animations that are pretty good quality.
Reach was a masterpiece, the crown jewel of Bungie's work on the Halo story. Halo 1 – 3 were great games in their own right, but Reach hit the highs & lows of emotion that the others never did. You mourn for Noble team and feel the weight of their loss. Even the thank you from Bungie to the fans hits ya in the feels
The way they died is unique to their character
Jorge was heavy weapon specialists. He was blown up.
Kat was the brains of the team. She was shot in the head.
Carter was the leader of the team. He went down with the ship.
Emile is never seen without his knife and uses it often. He was stabbed.
Noble six was the lone wolf of the team. He died alone.
When I was younger, Halo Reach was one of the most influential pieces of media in my life. I have used NBL7 as my clan tag in any game I can, ever since this masterpiece from Bungie. Absolutely beautiful!
Your commentary was tremendous. I'll be staying with you moving forward!
