Reach elites were a whole other breed. Fast, strong, and terrifying on legendary. I loved it. Defeating them felt earned

[@jaymon64anabel53]

They gave it their all man. Felt like I was always on my toes when I encountered Ultras and above.

[@Kermit_the_DILF]

@@jaymon64anabel53 now the real question is, would we even be able to finish the game if we had the brutes from halo 2 and jackal snipers from halo2 in Reach as well? 0_o

[@xannyphantom8864]

Truuuu

[@buddy-ss8hr]

Bro the Ultras and Zealots were true menaces, but the H2 jackal snipers still out rank them in their own way…

[@Commonwealth-ex7ev]

That burgundy colored Field Marshal (FM) is actually the closest thing you get to a main antagonist within Halo Reach since he appears three times in the game to thwart Noble team when it counts. The first is Winter Contingency where the FM and his Zealots sabatoge the relay station in order to keep Reach unaware of the Covenant invasion and as well as to secure sensitive information about the Forerunners. The second time the FM appears is at the end of New Alexandria where he uses a sniper to kill Kat. I think it's worth noting that the FM could've killed any member of Noble team at that moment, but chose Kat out of all of them and likely not by accident since he also tried to kill Kat back in Winter Contingency with his energy sword. This is probably becuase the FM knew she had the classified data he was looking for at first and that she knew it's contents so he decided to silence her. The third and last time we see him is at the Mass Driver cannon where the FM and his Zealots kill Emile and neutralize the Pillar of Autumn's air cover. This is their last chance to prevent the humans from escaping with whatever they managed to escavate from the Forerunner ruins beneath sword base and they're not taking chances. But aside from that great sound track!

[@raymondgood544]

That Field Marshall was really a menace

[@AnakinSkywakka]

And six alone kills them all before reactivating the mass driver.

[@henrystammen5584]

Can you imagine being that field marshal and watching six wipe out your entire squad one by one

[@whiteevropean]

@@henrystammen5584 there is no fear amongst high ranking elites, only a good death

[@conswan57]

They could have made a whole game about them the ending couldve been that part where 6 kills all them imagine you get that point of view from an elite the same way reach ended

[@mrschizo2837]

Considering how he was a recurring enemy throughout the campaign, I think the Field Marshall should have at least had a line acknowledging Six in English when you fight him in the end. Six has killed several of his zealots at that point, and the Marshall personally killed Kat, his zealots got Emile, and now he's finally face to face with the last Demon on Reach. If any nameless elite deserved to be given some lore, it should have been him.

[@thescruffinator8830]

Or even just something in Sangheili, imagine how cool it would be with them face to face in a grapple or something and it growls out something along the lines of "Die, Demon." in Sangheili tongue.

[@SalusKitty]

Nameless killer kinda goes hard tho

[@lucask4377]

Yeah would be cool to get some lore for him

[@egotistikz]

1 victim, 7 bullets on the ammunition counter, 2 super soldiers, lots of foreign blood.

[@AchingScaphoid]

Clear the hole.

[@The_Lunch_Man]

I never really noticed that the Zealot music plays consistently when fighting them. And on top of that, its the same Field Marshal leading them each time. Thats Bungie's level of detail.

[@somm150]

“That tango blew past me. Permission to pursue?” “Affirmative four, get after him” Happily ever after…

[@SpartanBrix]

Reach is the only Halo to make the Elites feel terrifying, and I’m all for it.

[@HackingAtLife]

Especially after you play CE, 2 and 3 and see their deal in the Covenant

[@midkn1ght231]

its funny that it took until 2021 for someone to properly put these tracks together. thanks for the mix!

[@TheMasterMind144]

Check out benmarshal801's channel, he compiled all of the tracks in the Bungie Halo games in his "Complete Soundtrack" series.

[@sidewinder9335]

I've listened to a couple of them. They're really good!

[@SirCabooseCCCP]

The best part of this game, for me, was executing the field marshal on the last level, he was the zealot with funky armor and a fuel rod cannon, as its believed he was the one that killed Kat and pretty much caused everything.

[@kazak8926]

@Nexus_Stuff to be fair the biggest covenant victory would always be in space, and Thel led the fleet.

[@kazak8926]

[@malikrivard7363]

It's a magnific mix!!!!! 5 stars

[@waspoptic]

I like to think those weird electronic noises we hear throughout is the Covenants broadcasts causing interference

[@waspoptic]

To expand upon this idea, I imagine it’s specifically broadcasts of their own being sent to the rest of the Covenant forces >>Encountered Demons at Relay Station >>One contact captured, advancing to junction >>Warn Long Night of Solace, continue as authorized >>Permission to pursue Demons? >>Negative Sentry-X, destroy junction, remain in shade. >>Demons within junction, unable to destroy junction >>The Great Journey remains >>The Great Journey remains… >>Avenge us, brother.

There are white zealots and field marshals in and around sword base maybe another unit there to look for forerunner artifacts

That's good theory! I'm pretty sure they run into some Covenant at Castle Base as well, so could be the same company.

[@Fun-n-sun]

@@sidewinder9335 Actually the white elite that shows up at sword base is a special elite called a BOB. They usually spawn as a golden ranger elite in other missions as a rare achievement. But in the sword base mission, they spawn in white and as any elite type, be it spec ops, ranger, zealot, or even general.
