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.

One of the best portrayals of the inevitability of the loss of Reach is the very first cutscene. You load in to the game, hear the somber music, knowing Reach will be lost. You customize your spartan's look, choose your difficulty, and click play. The scene you are greeted with is your freshly created helmet lying unoccupied in a field with a hole through the visor.

When Marty made these OST versions of the background music. He often found ways to turn all the music from a single level including it's cutscenes into single tracks. This was necessary because the in-game tracks don't really have a solid ending to stop on, so he would just blend them into one big score for the OST version.

I prefer good books like Contact Harvest and The Cole Protocol. They actually immerse you in the narrative. The Fall of Reach is nowhere near as fun to read as people pretend it is.

"Tip of the Spear" is a British idiom, meaning the first military unit or operation to engage the enemy, referring specifically to an attack that breaks the enemy's formation. Since the tip of the spear is more dangerous than the shaft, and can be followed up with extra swordsmen, cavalry, or whatever else. The modern day equivalent would be akin to a drone strike. It actually does apply the same way to Reach, despite using guns as their weapons, as it's the name of the mission where you are taking down the enemy shield generators.

Gotta say again you should react to as many of the halo trailers you can find. The halo 3 believe campaign is my favourite. Hope things get easier for you soon tho!

for people who didnt grow up as halo fans; this game is a prequel where we know that we loose, the soundtrack does an excellent job reflecting that, this is a game where we already know we are going to loose. the whole subtext of halo reach ia: we know we're going to loose, but were going to hold out to the bitter end

Hands down one of the best halo games to exist, amazing story, great music, great gameplay, truly a masterpiece, the story hits the hardest out of all the halo games in my opinion, there is no happiness, it’s all grim, death, all about humans being destroyed by a greater threat, your new friends all die fighting for the great good, except for one, but ultimately the sacrifice was worth it, the discovery of the halo ring and the events that followed would have never happened if it wasn’t for those who sacrificed themselves on reach. Such a great game.

A spearhead assault is a type of attack intended to break through an enemy's defensive line and go deep. As a Spartan, you not only take part, but are at the front - the tip of the spear.

Also. Please do what the other fellas said about winter contingency. And if you can, halo 4. Neil davidge created a masterpiece. Unfortunately halo 4 was the beginning of the end for the franchise storywise. In my opinion. But he was extremely creative. It was really interesting for him to experiment with traditional musical instruments to create otherworldly sounds. His words.

Love that you mention the tracks belonging behind a cutscene. As theyre usually played as youre playing the level, which shows how cinematic these games were!

The Reach soundtrack is a little different from the other games because each track is for a specific mission, rather than being its own thing.

You really need to do a video where you listen to Reach's soundtrack from start to finish. Its LONG but holy hell it tells you the story without a single visual. Its amazing and also by far the saddest one of all the Halo soundtracks no question. Reach is a pretty rough story that takes kick em while they're down to another level.

Reach is a story about noble team, but it’s also about reach herself. The cinematics go out of their way to take a “planetary” perspective.

Reach is the most emotional of the games. Nightfall is played during the level where your team finds the site where the invasion is taking place. Tip of the Spear is played when the UNSC begins their response to the attack on Reach. It ends very badly for the UNSC and they soon realize the immense scale of the invasion. 60% of the entire human fleet is headed to Reach to defend the planet. Ashes plays a bit later on. The threat was destroyed but then a massive fleet of Covenant ships arrive and they begin orbital bombardment on the planet targeting civilian populations. Ashes plays as the city you so hardly defend is lost alongside someone important and it’s important to note that by this point the UNSC has just about lost Reach most human ships begin fleeing Reach except for the Pillar of Autumn which is still fighting at Reach. I always found Ashes haunting especially with the context. Epilogue Reach is lost to the Covenant and you have your final stand taking out as many Covenant as you can but Reach's fall led to the discovery of Halo and eventually led to humanity's survival from near extinction.

17:10 Tip of the spear refers to the person front and centre in a formation, similar to the term 'taking point'. They're the first one in, similar to how the pointy end on a spear always comes first.

17:07 "Tip of the Spear" in this context is a metaphor. The "Spear" here is the army, or formation. Being the "Tip of the Spear" means you are at the front of the formation and are expected to make contact with the enemy first.

It's called Tip of the Spear because it's about the army group sent as the first wave of attack against the aliens in a massive operation, hence the proverbial "tip" as they spearhead the initial charge.

Good vid. I Know this isn't what you normally would do, but you should watch the cut scenes for Halo: Reach and make a video of it. It's like a short, but emotional, movie. Around 50min I believe. You should see how Halo uses these instruments and vocals to make the story far better and emotional. For example: Tip of the Spear is a song that's used multiple times, the first time is when you're meeting the invading force head to head and your the tip of the spear aka the one who makes contact.The second time it's used, the feeling is opposite. The invading force now feels like the spear. Truly a beautiful game that uses music to enhance every aspect of the story.
