Times flies, I was 14 when Halo Reach came out and remember sneaking out of my last lesson at school to get home early after getting a text from my dad that the game had arrived...

[@L0N3WOLF18]

Back here for the 3rd year in a row for reach anniversary!😭♥️

[@ReveredDead]

This shit was lit. I went to my local midnight release with by elder brother. 14 years old, parents let me have the next day off of school, and was bullshiting with other kids in line. Good times. I hope Halo Infinite has something like this. With the way the country is going. People need to go back to simpler stuff. Personal interaction. This push for online only shit pisses me off. They are trying to create a reclusive society.

[@TiredOfYoutube]

This comment is exactly how I feel. To much stuff changed in the decade. Back then was simple and fun. Comparing back then to now seems like a whole different world.

[@DomesticDomoGaming]

I had moved into Phoenix that year and hadn’t transferred into a new school yet so I got to experience the midnight launch and play all night because I didn’t have school the next morning lol

[@TheMike31b]

Bro I was 18 when this came out. Standing in line for mine was like a experience

[@eightbyeight]

Don't know how this came in my recommendation, but man this brings back memories and Halo Reach on Xbox 360 was awesome!

[@pepsiman7734]

I remember this i was 19 when it came out and i spent 13 hours looking for a gamestop oh it was amazing

[@brickedupgranny]

oh man time flies. i was just 8 when this game came out and quickly became my favorite game of all time same with bo1. really wish i was a kid again to enjoy my childhood i grew up way to fast.

Back when game launches were actually cool. Downloading a digital game a few hours before launch isn’t fun, it’s lame as fuck. Buying a physical game in person was so awesome, especially when you’d been waiting so long for it to come out

[@punishedvenomdeat8153]

Crazy that they never made any Halo games after this

The death of physical media really will be a tragedy. Does anyone know if midnight releases are even a thing anymore? Given when a game releases you can just download it from the online market places on release? Even when you pre order a physical disc it tends to come like 24 hours before release day.

Hopefully Halo infinite can create such a strong fan base like this again

[@brianself5598]

Same I was only 7 when it released. My brother played the beta when it came out and I watched him play it all the time. Then when it released, he brought it home in a gamestop bag. I watched him play it and I was mesmerized. I thought it was so cool. So I waited until I was alone one day and i played it on my account (i didnt have xbox live). I played the whole campaign start to finish and I died a lot lol. But I had a blast. It is still one if my favorite games to play. And I have it downloaded on my xbox one.

This is the result of gaming companies getting games right. Make a great game with soul and not a game full of microtransactions, subscriptions and all that bs cancer. Halo 3 used to be incredible and an absolute masterpiece of a game and the best Halo ever made imo. I never played Reach and good because it looks like dog shit, spartans running, armour lock wtf is that bs? Reach is when Halo started dying.
