“The Fall” - A Halo Reach OST Mini-Extension/Mix

[@josh11735]

Hello late upload! Sorry for the delay on this one, hit a bunch of quality snags that took me forever to fix, but at least it’s finally done! Anyway, which member of Noble Team did you like the best? Be cool to hear some reasons why (whether they be character-driven, lore-driven, or even gameplay driven). Here’s the SoundCloud link for this mix: soundcloud.app.goo.gl/vjrnMYGfeMBktwsb8 Art is a Noble Team lineup concept. Copied from: www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/spring-seasonings

Carter because I like to relate to him as a leader in most stuff I do with my friends. Also because he cared more about his kids than his own life, like we see in the final mission.

NOBLE 6. He (or she though he was canonically male) was just my favorite Halo protagonist. The idea of the Spartan with no name brought a lot of fun options for creative Halo fandom members to customize the backstory, look, and even just the name and basics of their NOBLE 6.

[@elijahrasmussen1641]

All of them. Remember Noble. Remember Reach.

Anybody else love how Noble 6 went full Doom Guy and tried to take on an entire army by himself? I like to think that he'd knew he would die so he decided to make a last stand and take as many Covenant with him as possible,according to a book,he fought non-stop for three days before finally being killed,even then it took 5 or 6 Elites to kill him and he took 3 of them with him. I think he died with a grin on his face too,somehow knowing humanity would survive and ultimately win the war.

Halo on PC. We did it, boys

[@sodasaintcommentaries4054]

The musical tone of Reach was always so grim and dark and gritty. A reminder to the player that they're less a hero forging ahead to the outcome of the story and more witnessing the valiant efforts of a doomed defense. And the death of way, WAY too many heroes.

[@razzy4159]

Halo Reach had been my first formal introduction to the Halo series and when Carter said it was the Winter Contingency, I had no idea what that had meant other than shit was about to to be fucked. Still sends shivers down my back

[@dennishanyildirimohrstrom8676]

First Halo? Then you are a Spartan III. Spartan II myself. But you still have my Respect

[@Volize_]

We are getting closer and closer to Reach on MCC... 😄

[@deepism]

When you saw Reach on the MCC, were you blinded by its glory?

[@collindeden5990]

I remember back then you couldn't even play forge on mcc. I loved the update when it came a couple years ago

[@Meatwad187]

Literally nobility on the battlefield and in the face of insurmountable odds.

[@aperson172]

I love the Halo: Reach drums. They're so impactful and match well with the theme the game has to offer.

[@averagegamer1690]

I have no idea why, but this music (along with the majority of Reach’s ost) give me massive ONI vibes. I always find myself picturing this scenario: (P.s. excuse the storylike format. I went a little overboard.) 0:00 Planet Reach, Reach Military Complex, FleetCom HQ. August 30, 2552. A team of high ranking officers - from all branches of the UNSC - make their way through the impenetrable bunkers of Reach’s Camp Hathcock. They reach a massive debriefing room, filled with ONI intelligence officers, and discuss the ongoing Covenant attacks raging across Reach’s Viery Territory, which have been kept secret from the rest of the planet. Then, just as Fleet Admiral Hood brings up the topic of Reach’s orbital defences, sh*t hits the fan. An ODST Corporal barges into the room. “Sir, we’ve just received word from the Fleet… They’ve found us, sir.” 2:05 onward. Cut to the hundreds of military installations across the planet scrambling to their posts. Navy ships in orbit speed to rally points. Orbital MAC platforms spin to face the oncoming Covenant fleet. Marines and Army troopers on the ground board dozens of Air Force drop ships. Fighters and bombers alike touch off from Reach’s many airfields. Then. From 3:00 the Battle for… and Fall of Reach begins. :)

[@captainflex012productions5]

I’m so happy this finally out keep up the good work been wait for this for a while (favorite Noble would be 6 for him being ONI’s personal weapon and for him being a deadly assassin) ps lone wolf

[@IEatGlue77]

If anyone wants to know a specific part to listen to it alone: Start: Too Close To The Sun from the part where Phantoms com and drop in enemies in the courtyards on Exodus + additional bits. The dip around 1:40 is from This Cave Is Not In Natural Formation [1] which plays during the first part of the ice cavern firefight on The Package. The moderate sounding part around 1:55 is from Direct Action which plays during the final push after the multiplayer map section on Nightfall. The violins at 2:28 are from Noble Six which plays during the second wave of the final firefight on The Pillar Of Autumn.

[@IEatGlue77]

@Juniper_Wippersnache cheers, I completely forgot this comment was made.

[@arkhamspartan6777]

One of my favorite tracks from Reach, nice extension 👍

[@guybucknell4481]

Tasteful and elegant.

[@mr.stardoge1188]

Hm... Imagine playing Epilouge theme with those Lone Wolf drums if there was a secret ending which in you use a banshee to get out of the Reach before it is glassed.

[@Dave_Chrome]

I can't believe I never watched this one! Awesome mix, it took me back to when I'd spend hours in the Firefight menus designing gamemodes to play with my best friend, splitscreened. Thanks for the trip :)

[@josh11735]

Dave Chrome Np, glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@Pacho18]

This mix should be included to Reach MCC release along with some animated Reach artwork as background as they did with MCC last year. Althought It seems very short version to me?

[@josh11735]

Thanks for watching! :D Does it seem short? The original was a little over 2 mins (if you discount the extra string flourish at the end) and I didn’t want to do too much repeating.

[@Pacho18]

@@josh11735 You should do a Mini-extension extended theme where giving it time for pauses and a double loop of it, i would suggest.

[@wiibrockster]

I always liked Jorge the best. He's the teams "gentle giant" and the fact he sacrifices himself as the first of many losses in such a short space of time wasn't a good omen for Noble Team.

[@tammiestait5465]

Gentle Giant? The fuck? I remember him being the violent volatile giant.

[@josh11735]

I think most people would cite his treatment of the civilian girl at the beginning of the game as the primary example of being gentle rather than volatile. While Carter is only concerned about the information the girl can give and Emile chuckles as Jorge tries to talk to her, Jorge is the one who takes off his helmet, relates to her by speaking her language, and expresses sorrow for her dead father.

[@reilly.b15]

halo reach always had my favourite soundtrack, especially the base track. im really glad you came up with this one. keep it up! :p

[@azoraobaer]

Ohh I like this soundtrack xD

[@Darth_Supaku]

Remember Reach, Fight for Her. (Earth)

[@marcusm3927]

By the prophets this is amazing! Perfect mix. I'll be listening to this while playing Firefight.

[@brettwharton4808]

You should add the highlight from sword base to this at around 1:00 or 1:30

[@carlwhitted538]

Part of me hope that all the classics halo combat themes are in/called back to in Halo Infinite, including this one (especially this one). I mean think about it, Master Chief is kind of a lone wolf and ultra-deadly like Noble 6. Side Note: If Jun is somehow in this game, they fucking BETTER have some music harkening back to reach. Great vid by the way 👍

[@sircrim8694]

Wow, I wanted so much something like this ! Thanks Josh :D

[@josh11735]

“I aim to please” ;P

[@adanisaac2139]

Es maravilloso, exelente Remenber reach

[@UltimateDominion]

josh11735+ Very nice! I got a pretty challenging request for you! Can you try to remaster or add to Thick Ambiance from the library suite? for reference to what I am talking about, It is at 3:35 and is titled Library Suite (thick ambience) in benmarshall801's library complete OST, It's a pretty obscure track in the game, and actually plays during Halo 1 PC's install process, Halo CEA completely changed it and sounds nothing like it at all, easily my favorite Flood track to date. :D

[@SalvationIsInChristAlone]

Thank you!

[@josh11735]

No, thank YOU! :P

[@truexenith8596]

Oh hell yes. Now this is my favorite hunter theme. Whenever this played as the hunters dropped in, it gave me near-fatal chills. Reach was my first fps halo game, and I was absolutely terrified of those wriggling behemoths. Edit: Put it at 1.75 speed and it sounds like it belongs in an action movie. xD

[@Ente_Mecanizado]

👏👏👏

[@skullswornofkhorne2279]

It was always insulting to see that hornet on the h4 map, but we never again got to use them

[@old5026]

Neat

[@ReconVette19D]

you make some awesome combinations man, can i ask what software you use? Ive always had ideas but never knew where to begin, thanks!

[@josh11735]

Thanks! :D I use Audacity. It’s not the fanciest program out there (in fact, it can become a bit cumbersome when you’re using a lot of track layers), but for a free program, it’s got a lot of easy to understand features so I’d say it’s a good place to start. :)

[@staralpha5096]

You should do Into the Breach from Halo 3 ODST - More than His Share.

[@multitudeshoesinc8902]

could I use this for a possible S.M animation? I would include credit.

Sure thing man. :) The original file can be downloaded from here (if you need it): soundcloud.com/josh11735/the-fall-halo-suite-stitches
