The Halo Reach Legendary Experience

[@UnfairEnforcer]

The Long Night of Solace and the ending sequence on Pillar of Autumn are incredibly frustrating on Legendary

[@Decimation001]

Long Night of Solace is the only level I haven't done on Legendary and it's all because of the god-awful Saber section

He had to go home, and when he disconnected his controller, the game froze and all the progress was lost. Even now I dread that mission on anything above normal

@@UnfairEnforcer The same thing happened to me. I got some friends to play that mission with me on co-op and my computer crashed halfway through the mission. That mission is cursed

[@Xineombine]

Best part is, the only consistent way to get through the saber section is to hide BEHIND Anchor-9, THE THING YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEFENDING. For the second part, I Just hug the covie ship's ass, which has 7 plasma turrets on it for some reason, and just fly in a circle until the section mercifully ends. Went from my favorite level in Reach for it's inventive set piece nature and became "Oh, it's just the on foot combat, but now even more unfair."

Halo reach was the game that made me realize i was going to die some day, it gqve me self awareness back when i was 10 years old and i saw my own spartan die, no matter how long i tried i couldn't comolete the last objective, survive, that was the hardest existential crisis i ever had and it was all because of reach

I went back to play reach on legendary again for fun, and surprisingly long night of solace wasn’t that bad for me, completed it after a few tries, hardest in the game for sure tho

[@xXllSladellXx]

Yup; hide behind anchor 9. Once the phantoms appear, prioritise them. Once all phantoms are destroyed, seraphs and banshees will run off Next phase try to use the frigate as literal cover. It’s slower cuz you might be itching to destroy the engines. But try to take pot shots here and there. Slow but consistent

[@BeeDaWorker]

Oh boy sure am I excited for that... (hasn't touched reach legendary yet)

[@GalCon99]

@@BeeDaWorker Meh, Halo Reach on Legendary is not that terrible. Even the final section of PoA isn't all that bad. The only sections that really gave me trouble were the space part of LNOS (obviously) and surprisingly the Traxus Tower part of Exodus. The problem with that part is mostly just the lack of good weapons (2 DMR's and a sniper rifle is all the usefull things you get) and getting attacked from 2 sides. Killing the Jiralhanae, ok. Getting 15 grenades thrown at me by the Unggoy is a problem and then the Tvaoans came to finish me off. Every. Single. Time.

I never knew so many people like Reach the least. Or not at all. To each their own, but my nostalgia is too much for me to not say its my favorite.

[@hbdragon88]

Reach tinkered a lot of things with the Halo formula like adding bloom, armor ability, and sprinting. I guess it depend on how much one liked CE-3 or was able to adjust to the changes.

[@Horgler]

I hated the story at launch because of how much it retconned the Eric Nylund books and created unnecessary inconsistencies. As an overall package though, the game definitely has the best value per dollar for how much worthwhile content you get.

[@GalCon99]

I liked it until I read the Fall of Reach.

[@Mediocre_Gaming1917]

It's my favorite campaign, but I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the multiplayer changes.

[@ij1372]

[@Hokiebird428]

Most of the rest of the game is good, but my god the broken 1-hit melee deaths absolutely kill the close-range weapons. If I could change just one thing about the game, it would be to make melee attacks identical to how they were in CE.

[@tommymaxey2665]

Yeah Elites being able to just punt you instantly is BS. Also I hate how Elites never stay still it makes sniping impossible on orginal hardware

[@nicolae-alexandruluca7853]

This is why I got into modding hokie, and this is why I say we're it so easy when you said halo 4 is a done deal it cannot be changed, I remade almost all of the halo campaigns legendary difficulty as close to lore accurate as possible, that includes speed strength reaction time reflexes and endurance of the characters that you play and fight alongside

So that's why Long Night.. was more difficult in MCC than I remembered in OG Reach. When I played on Legendaty on MCC, after a few dozen deaths, my strategy was that I had to stay behind the station the whole time, just peak a little to shoot a Seraph and go back immediately before being torn to shreds by the others. Once the station guns go back up I just chilled while they did most of the work.

[@double1777]

In my opinion, Halo Reach, CE, and Infinite provide the most accurate in-universe portrayals of what fighting these aliens would actually be like for a Spartan.

[@ltntwafflz9043]

I don't think that Infinite is accurate to the lore. I would say that you're given a grappling hook that can defy the laws of physics Just Cause style... but Infinite doesn't even have fall damage. And all of the marines can kick ass and take names moments after being freed... after being held captive for months and only barely staying alive. All of the Spartans being dead is a gripe I share with Fall of Reach. The writers didn't want the other Spartans in the story so they killed them off. Like, ALL of them. In the lore even a single Spartan can beat invasions forces in the thousands, and there are DOZENS of Spartans. Reach and CE are VERY accurate to the lore through.

[@Titanos-vc6zh]

First off, awesome video Frog! It makes my day to watch content like this. Now onto some minor tricks I've learned while playing Reach. First, on ONI Sword Base if you get in the turret of the wraith the driver will just get out. Could be a glitch but it's worked every time. If it doesn't just shoot the cover off and kill the driver. Next, on nightfall, before fighting the Guta, grab the plasma turret the grunt was using. It melts them down before they can even get to you

[@TheLordoftheRavens]

Reach will always be my favorite Halo. I love the campaign. Every single level. The overall story and mood, particularly in the back half of the game, is perfect, and I feel like it tells the true story of Human-Covenant war better than any other Halo (on par with ODST, maybe). It's kind of refreshing to see the story told from the perspective of someone other than Master Chief, and seeing Spartans actually die throughout the campaign makes you feel less invincible. It's also really cool to be able to play with your own Spartan.

[@nixql999]

[@neoluna1172]

I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recomend playing halo reach campign with a rebalance mod (I think the only one thats up to date rn is mythic overhaul), it just makes the experiance so much better by smoothing out reaches kinda really bad internal sandbox balance for PvE. Also, the reason you dont just put cortana in your head is becuase the MKV(b) platform doesnt have support for an onboard AI (untill multiplayer of halo infinite but thats likley due to upgrades), cheifs proper MKV he wears in CE is the FIRST halo armor that can house an AI.

[@jvjjjweitzel153]

Reach had it all. Custom spartan, firefight, Forge World, new abilities, and all while looking amazing. Despite playing since CE, Reach is the one I play the most and have the most fun with. It is the only Halo I learnt how to speedrun and you get to have a robot arm. Really, Noble 6 is why I love this game the most. It is YOU. Master Chief gets more and more complex every game, Arbiter is a complete character, Noble 6 can be a cyborg, or wear pink, or have a flaming head because why not? Sure, later games for MP allow you to do that too, but that is only MP and, well, in worse games. CE- ODST has great gameplay but limited if any customization. 4-infinite has a lot of customization (A looooooot of it is ugly though) but bad to meh gameplay. (I am still mad at changing the sounds for the weapons) Reach is the best of both with the most game modes of any of them. I am so glad that MCC is on PC and I was able to revisit Reach again. It made the pandemic much more bearable for me.

Yeah weapon balancing in reach was definitely not in the players favor.
