Getting Reach for my 5th birthday and booting it up with my brother on our 360 and playing the campaign together while my older brother was watching and playing pumped up kicks on his laptop is my favorite memory. Just loading into the game was an experience and being able to make your own spartan and seeing them on the screen was just so exciting to me, playing multiplayer with my brothers was so fun playing LAN parties was such a good experience that I’ll never experience again.
This, this is what halo is really about ❤️
Fifth birthday in 2010? God I'm old.
I was thinking the same, I was 13 ahah
@@spartanq7781 yup I’m gonna turn 17 soon
@@ReclaimerGaming I was 15 then but 16 after Reach came out.
You hit the nostalgia so hard. i started on halo reach, without internet. split screen firefight was my home for many months, spending hours with friends, setting personal objectives, or just goofing off with custom modes. theres a legacy in the original halo games that the new ones will never be able to capture.
I never thought I’d live to see the day where the halo servers on 360 died. It hurts.
It's a pain like no other

I sadly cannot be a part of this since 1: I no longer have my 360 and 2: I have alot more responsibilities now as a adult. To those that are participating in this though, me and many more will be cheering you on at the sidelines, as one notable figure once said, set a fire in your hearts, fight hard Spartans "and sangheli", die well. May this moment be recorded as one of the greatest since the noble 14 and live on in the Halo fandom as a Iconic moment in halo history.
@Brayden Legarde we can still play in MCC but it doesn’t feel the same anymore 😞
Same I don’t have gold, I’ve been playing reach or ages but I haven’t got gold….. :(
Yes. At the time of writing this, the servers are down. IDK if anyone is still there. I hope they are.
I had all the achievements for halo 3, odst, reach and halo 4 on my old account. I will remember all the memories fondly :(
Sad thing is I've been playing Halo on the 360 since Halo 3's launch, and now that the servers are going down it's only now I realize that I haven't played a single round of online multiplayer. I've played tons of custom games with my friends, but I've never played online. The last time I played a Halo game on the 360 was yesterday, and yet I still feel like I'm not doing enough to show my gratitude towards such a legendary game series.
@@kumokujaku8802 halo 3 custom games was the bomb...
@@timelyraccoon8878 Absolutely.
@@timelyraccoon8878 luckily custom games will still be up
When I learned that the servers were shutting down. I was worried that I wouldn't get all the achievements. But I found a discord group dedicated to getting all the achievements. I managed to get all my achievements successfully, I also used it to help others get their achievements. I hope people are grateful for my help.
Playing halo reach with my dad was some of the most fun I’ve had in years, but sadly he’s gone but I feel as if I can still connect with him while playing reach or 3 the servers shutting down is really sad. My old Xbox 360 still works like a charm so you can bet I’m holding down reach
There's still MCC bro. Not completely gone :)
I’m glad you had those fun memories with your dad! I will also try to be on reach that night
I lost my dad last year and sadly our old Xbox was lost in a flood shortly before that, all I have left of that era is memories now. Just dust and echoes.
I lost my little brother last December & I have great memories playing all the HALO games together both local & online. I'll try to play the game before the servers goes away.
@@roguebogey I feel sorry bro 😢 I played CE with my uncle
Reach is one of my favorite games of all time. I had a goal to achive at the time: Remake Master Chief, the only problem was that I only played offline, and that would take years upon years of playing the game in boring ways just to make chief, so I just stuck to my current spartan at the time: Forest Green, Operator with CNM, Recon Chest, ODST shoulders, and FJ Para Knees. When I played on MCC I updated my design to get a gold visor, the Trauma kit Utility, the wrist attachment that Carter used (I can't remember it's name), and I started calling him John Halo in memory of what I originally wanted to get. I am attached to that spartan today, and I kinda had my online identity be with him, the profile picture especially, which I made in SFM.
I do admit my memories for online was very late. I didn't had Xbox Live back then, had to go to a friend's for that. So I didn't have experience with online multiplayers back in their heyday all day. But the times I did, was magically. From playing Halo 3 to Reach and 4. Those were great memories, especially with my friend.
I do hope a Noble 14 happens, maybe times 6 since for the 360 titles. Halo 3, ODST, Reach, 4, Wars and SA. Anyone still playing these games, hold the line. Heck stream it either it dying on you. But hold the line as best you can.
God speed to you all that can do it.
Spartans never die, Theyre just missing in action, You'll be there on the field in spirit
Epic comment
Oh my god it's me at 3:16. Thank you Reclaimer for this video and thank you to the og Bungie for creating Halo for all of us. For me I wasn't able to play CE, 3, and ODST but I do remember it's impact by watching videos of it on RUclips but my favorite memories were on 2 and Reach. Reach was one of my favorite games because of the customization, the story, but more importantly the multiplayer. I remember the custom maps I made and the amazing game modes I played with my family. We hosted LAN parties and we just had an amazing time. With me the games reminded me of my childhood, and as my cousins and I grow up hearing that they are shutting down makes it feel like I'm losing a huge part of my childhood. I've always loved Halo and I am thankful for it being in my life. But most importantly, Spartans never die, only missing in action.
I was 7 years old buying Pokémon cards at a GameStop with my grandma, and I noticed there was a guy with halo 3 in the checkout line. All the kids at school would talk about it but my parents wouldn't let me get any fps games. I excitedly asked the guy about the game curious to know everything I could so I could tell my friends at school, but as we talked he did something i'll never forget. He took a look at the game and a look at me, and then asked me "hey, do you want it?". Shocked I asked why and he explained how he was gonna turn it in for some cash to get rid of it or something. I looked at my grandma and begged her to let me accept the game. She said ok. Halo 3 was my first ever fps game. I remember being scared shitless of the flood, and beating the campaign on normal for the first time. Sadly I don't have that xbox anymore so I can't participate. Hold those servers for as long as it takes! I'll be rooting for u.
I love this ❤️
you have master chief collection my friend, both on xbox consoles from xbone onwards and pc, steam and xbox app
as for the games by themselves however... they will sadly be lost forever when it comes to online features, outside halo 1 and 2, which were ported to pc back in the day, still, master chief collection mods and emulation can fix this, in time
my greatest memory with halo was way back with halo ce, my siblings and i used to pretend that we were on the pelicans landing on the beach in silent cartographer while that part of the level was playing. i was just starting college with reach and played so much custom games when the browser came out
I too have mostly enjoyed campaign and firefight, having only started in the start of 2019, with the last 3 years of halo have been absolutely amazing, both in enjoying the games themselves and the people who play them, and obsess over the lore lol. I can only imagine what powerful emotions the folks who have been enjoying these games for the last 10, 15, or even 20 years feel right now
Very cool to see someone who has gotten into the franchise in recent years! Cheers!
I was 13 when I met my first friend on Xbox playing Halo Reach, and over time it turned into an entire friend group. None of us really talk anymore, and every once in a while it makes me sad. Sometimes I wish I could find their new Gamertags and boot up a Custom game and play again. We would barely play multiplayer because we had a friend who was always making his own Gametypes and maps. Outside of Xbox, my childhood wasn't great but meeting all of them and playing with them are some of the best memories that I have. Wherever you guys are, I thank you for every laugh and every rage, because you probably saved my life.
There go the days of me and the lads playing after a long day
Since I was 4 years old I have been playing halo with my brother, he may not be here anymore but that legacy of halo moves him with me.
Reach hit different for me, it had creativity that at that time was unmatched. It felt like halos minecraft on what people could create in forge and whatnot for party games and entertainment. The multiplayer certainly was a grind but that grind rewarded you with a variety of options to personalize your character and goals for aesthetics that nowadays would be sold you for a quick buck. Their was a inherent loop between the gamemodes. A reason to go back and forth, so many friends made along the way and memories made that the current game lineups i played can never live up to its standard.
I empathize, it was Halo 3 for me, I was just really out in the world after school, played others but just lost time and buddies got married.
This moment is exactly what nostalgia is, I guess it really was about the friends we fought beside along the way
memories... they're going. I hope we all get to look back at them and not exactly cry, but smile, so i hope that we look back at halo reach online, and halo 3 online, the gaming days.
I wish I could participate with my 360 but I sadly don't have live. But I'll still support anyone who will take part in this. Halo for me is more then a game it's a life style I choose to keep close to my heart. I was never able to play online with the previously mentioned live problem, but I think that saved me because since I didn't play online my time was spent in campaign watching the story go while I was apart of that world, it's what I believed made me go out and explore the awesome and mysterious lore of Halo. This universe is the best thing to happen to me, it may have been rough through the recent years but halo is making a resurgence like a game hasn't done before and I'm all the more happy for it. I may not always be invested in halo from time to time but that's how I am with a lot of things and I find myself coming back to it because it's that special and I will always keep halo close to my heart as physical possible.
Can’t you use backwards compat to connect to 360 servers?
@@G1Arcee yes
@@G1Arcee But the problem becomes you're stuck in 360 servers so unless you have the the Xbox one release of the game or MCC you can't play with other people anymore
I was never able to play online that much but when I did on my Xbox 360 I was in loved with it and even if I have to upgrade to the Xbox one or the Xbox series x if I want to play online I will still play on my Xbox 360.
Halo Reach was also my first Halo game I ever played when I was 7, that time it give me something special. Just like other Halos before in 2001 to other years, I played the whole campaign and just listen to those moments of the characters and music. And of course the multiplayer was something to everyone. That I can be my own Spartan, and to this day I’ll remember both of the noble team and Reach. And knowing I already patch the torch. But knowing the Xbox Live on Xbox 360 will be gone, but I’ll always go back on the same old console and play it on the campaign, and of course Master Chief Collection does have multiplayer of Halo Reach, but still knowing we will all miss those times if we quickly grab all of those screenshots and video gameplays or old films we made so we can remember the old days. Thank you Bungie for everything.
5:02 You two are an elite team chosen for the Head Hunters Program, the both of you are a team, two sides of the same coin, together you two shall inflict heavy damage to the Covenant and make them pay!
But really that line literally resonates with most kids and teens at the time trying to be a duo or fire team in reach or ODST to live out our "stories"
I remember getting my Reach Console Bundle as I child (still have em now)
Played through the campaign with me dad, and continued to play with friends who came by on a co-op. They were years ago but I still remember them like it was yesterday and what a blast it was.
Yeah, those memories are with the og, hope to relive that experience!
Happy New year's Brother! Keep it up
Halo 3 every night on the old X360 at my grandparents house every night. Will never forget. I have an Xbox One X now and play often with my friends on MCC, and I'm very greatful that it's there to continue the legacy of the old games.
From the first time I set my eyes on the reach boot up screen to watching my own brother and even getting my hands on that controller playing the game, reach and the older games will always have a place in my heart. I’ll try to join in along with you noble brothers if i can.
I remember getting Halo Reach at the GameStop I just started working at part time. Waited and got the first Reach Xbox and legendary edition. Reach will always have a place in my heart over all the other games.
Though I did not experience the Xbox 360 Series like everyone else did, I can definitely say the 360 Halo Games had a huge effect on me. Reach truly brought me into Halo through the extremely well made Machinemas and the custom games of sheer power.
Now with the MCC, this legacy lives on. Hopefully forever.
This hurts me too much. Have you all played with your parents too? I had my dad and my uncle. Of course me being the youngest was always the youngest and the fastest spartan on the field but I could always count on them for backup. My birthday is on the 15th of January, I was planning to boot my system and connect to them back in Jamaica to play on that good Saturday so this news is tear-jerking. We bonded over halo as they introed me to Halo 1 and 2. I learned fast and concurred my fear even now being the master out of the 3 of us. As just 1 out of the millions of Spartans out there even though i can't fight anymore i wish you all the best till the last day and spend it wisely.
Halo has always had a special place in my heart, a fire if you will. Although I didn’t grow up with each every halo game, I was around when some of the most hyped up ones. Halo 3 and then highly debated Halo Reach. The memories on Halo 3 just the starting screen always gave me chills and excitement. The darkness surrounding all parts of the screen. The covenant ships destroying a land in the back and flying by. Then as you come up to that edge, the music just. God damn man. I didn’t play much multiple player on halo 3 but halo reach I have done plenty. Reach was so special to me, as too many memories of me and my brother screaming in infection. Well mostly me lol. To me crying at the end of the game, I loved that game with all my heart. And seeing the old servers go is a hard one, but they did their part. But I also know a lot of y’all ain’t gonna let it go. So bare your fangs Spartans! Fight on, die well.
343: Try not to kill each other?
The Servers : -Has a gun to the fandoms neck-
The Spartans that never died: ‘Were it so easy…’
my most memorable multiplayer moment, playing halo reach infection on boardwalk in splitscreen with best friends and my brother watching. becoming one of the last survivors I had a horde on me, I took a chance slowly turning around, one shotgun shell rings out with 3+ headshot kills which were right on my heels and a ton of breathing room to line up the next shot. I dont remember if I survived that game, I think I was satisfied enough to not care about the end, kinda like 6 seeing the Pillar take off. I hope that at least one other person is able to experience that before the servers go, before the last man goes, whoever that last man is, good luck to you spartan.
I personally think halo reach was the pinnacle of Halo.
I started playing from halo 2. eventually played CE.
never played 5.
but Reach will be my all time fav for now
I was one of the people that were introduced to Halo through the PC mcc.
Even though I never played Halo on Xbox except for Halo CE, I wish they keep it going for as long as they can, Because even though I was never there for it, I still have a sense of nostalgia for the franchise, and a need to keep those servers up.
ill be hopping on for halo 3 for sure, it was my first halo. I got into the game late, like after halo reach launched late (2012) and yet the game was still bustleing with players. Halo 3 has no match, and I have very fond memoires of doing 4 player couch custom games at a friend's house. I also remember how proud of myself I was after months of grinding and finaly getting the lone wolves achievement which unlocks the MKV helmet. I remeber how even though I didnt know the full story of the trilology, I still loved all the charcters in the campign, how I cried when what that basturd spark murdered jhoson. Halo 3 is EASILY within the top 5 games ever made, and I will not be quiet as we send the OG 360 version to an honorable end in the howling dark.
(unfortrunaly I cannont hold the servers hostage as im not the only one who uses the TV in my house, but I will be on playing on the 11th, one last fight to finish.
Just the thought of online gives me nostalgia
I'll be there right up till the final moments. Not letting these games out with a whimper.
I remember playing reach at my friends house for the first time in 2011 and that was my first halo game. I have never felt so good playing a video game before. It was magical. So many great memories that make me cry still. That friend I haven’t talked to in a long time. I hope he’s okay and I hope I can find a way to talk to him. And those of you who still have a 360, good luck. You are special. And you did something special for me. Thank you. Let’s do this.
Man I remember getting halo reach for the first time after getting all A’s so that I could get the collectors edition for the game. Then loading it up just to hear the music of the game. I miss it, the good old days back on the 360 just me a friends making and play a ton of forge worlds and other game modes. It’s sad to hear them get shut down because the MCC is not the same as the classics and they never will be. I glad to have played the games and I’m more than happy to help the servers stay up and never die, anything for the classics that we all love and enjoyed as kids.
Halo 3 was my first Halo game. I got it for Christmas back in 2009 when I was 11. Me, my brother, his friends, and my friends would come over and play split-screen for hours on end, especially during the summer when we obviously didn't have school. Once Reach came out, my brothers friends were old enough to have jobs and were table to buy their own small TVs. From that point, we discovered the godsend technology known as LAN. So all my brothers friends would bring their TVs and 360s over and EVERYONE was able to hop on and just have a hell of a time. The memories I've had from Reach were some of, if not, the best memories I've ever had in my gaming life. I'm 23 years old now as of this post, and to this day, I still cannot think of any other memories that are able to top Halo. You never realize you were in the gold ages until it was over...
Though I love the old games to death and still play them thanks to MCC. I don't understand why people are saying goodbye to these games when they are fully playable and better on the MCC on newer hardware than the broken down old Xbox 360. I can understand sending your respects to Xbox 360 days since those days were the best era in gaming IMO, especially for consoles but still. I think also it'll be little hard to hold down servers because Xbox Live's architecture is vastly different on the Xbox 360 compared the original Xbox.
Let alone I just have to come out and say, I find it really hard to go back and play these old games. I tried to go back and I have to say the controls feel like shit. I can barely move with my screen going way too fast at low sensitivity. I don't understand how I played these games back in the day. Thank Lord MCC fixed the control scheme and thank Lord that the games feel good and are amazing in the package and even thank Lord even more we can continue to play these games on the MCC with a custom game browser, with mod tools, on PC, and better forge capabilities.
It's very commendable to Microsoft for leaving the Xbox 360 Halos online as long as they did. Original Xbox servers didn't even last a decade until being shut down, neither did Halo 2... RIP Xbox 360 Halos. Your legacy will be remembered through MCC.
Saludos desde Guadalajara, tenía muchos planes para estar ahí también. Dios bendiga la saga Halo. There'll be Another Time...
Man I missed halo reach. I shared so many good memories on that game.
I wasn't capable of having these memories due to my age but I had memories of my own. My cousins had an xbox 360 that I would play on everyday with them. it wasn't reach for me but rather a several year old halo 2. I loved playing it so hearing this made me pretty bummed. I never played multiplayer but seeing the videos and watching my cousins from the couch made me instantly obsessed and I fell in love with the franchise. I may be apart of the next line of Halo but to all the OGs. I salute you Spartans. You finished the fight and gave a new and glorious universe to explore so that we may continue to hold the torch. Thank you guys for making memories that inspired us all.
You really hit the Nostalgia hard, I could get onto me 360 because it would have taken too long to set up but I watched a few streams of the last matches, and it's sad that it did not last as long as it could have since after 1pm Est no one could queue up for any more matches. But really, we must remain strong, strong for the Chief, strong for the Community, and strong for ourselves. The old games may be gone, but they remain strong in our hearts and our minds. I played Halo for as long as I can remember, since Halo CE on the Original Xbox, and back then up until Halo Reach I really only played with my brother and my dad, so my experience with multiplayer stuff was, much like you, the campaign, plenty of custom games and forge and I had a blast with my dad and brother, even my stepmother tried to get into it so my dad showed her the ropes while me and my brother fought a war around them, so I had so much fun with them. But now that those days are gone we must move on, this day, the 13 of Jan 2022, really gives new meaning and perspective to both Lord Hood's speech at the end of Halo 3 and Dr. Halsey's at the end of Halo reach, but even with that day passed and as each new day pushes us farther and farther from that fateful day we must be strong, we must carry on we must go into the howling dark, and if we are not to return we must pass on the torch to the next generation of Spartans. But are we really gone? No. No we are not, for we belong to Halo, our bodies, our armors, all gone and turned to lost data, everything, except our spirits our memories and our courage, and with them we can rebuild. And maybe someday we can return because as we all know Spartans Never Die, We Just Go Missing In Action.
Might as well make these last moments a great time before it all ends.
You know, its so rare for a license to get hit after hit, master piece after master piece, even halo 4 at the time was very well welcomed, we then got CE anniversary, wish was a great tribute and breath of fresh air, then we got halo 5, every license will at least once encounter a bump on the road, it was a good game but a bad halo, multiplayer was top tier, everything combined with forge we wanted, then halo 2 anniversary was amazingly done, then halo wars 2 and now halo infinite wish is a great restart for the license ! Great game, campaign, musics, some flaws (mainly vehicles destructions and explosions) and multiplayer is pretty solid.
Yea, i think we’ve got some more years of fun on halo : ) (i am still waiting for the day we get a campaign on the forerunners, their story and the war against the flood
My Halo journey started in 06.
Halo 2. Halo 3 started just a few months later. I was already hooked.
I was 9 then. I'm 24 as I type this. 15 years of playing this golden series.
Master Chief:
I think we're just getting started.
Your the soldier we need you to be.
Halo reach was my first game for my 360 played it 10 years 11 days ago exactly and just finished the campaign yesterday and the halo 3 campaign today cannot believe it's coming to an end all the hours halo nights achievement hunting and only a couple hours left good memories really gonna miss it
Reach being your favorite because it's what you played the most is exactly the same as me. I never got a Gold Account until Reach was released, and I spent I don't know how many hours playing Invasion. Being able to use my own, personal Spartan in campaign was such a sweet cherry on top. As they say: there will be another time. Remember Reach!
Farewell halo you will be missed
Reach was my first halo I'm 28 now and I had played Playstation my friends in school bugged my to get an Xbox and after going to my friends house and seeing his new game halo reach after that i bought an Xbox with reach so many good memories and times spent with friends
Reach firefight was one of the first video games I remember playing and actually having fun with. My buddy and I would play for hours at a time and spend the whole time giggling and goofing around. Thanks for the memories Reach
Reach was also my favorite. It wasn't when it first came out. I was tired of reading about heroes in this franchise dying. As Cortana said in the first game, the war had enough dead heroes. And the writers only added to it.
But eventually, I looked past it. Past death. Once I overcame the fact that the characters did die, I appreciated them more. I appreciated Reach more not because it fell, but because of how beautiful it all was before it fell. The nightclub in New Alexandria, the defense of Anchor 9 and the heroic crew of the UNSC Savannah and Grafton. Faraday Station and Sword Base, the Sabre launch facility and getting to go to space and actually pilot a ship for the first time in the franchise. Unforgettable, beautiful moments. Reach was not my favorite. But it became my favorite. From the beginning, I knew the end. I couldn't get enough of it. Here's to you, Noble.
playing halo 3 with the bois in middleschool and highschool will always be my favorite memories. Im happy I got to play some more games over the last couple days again.
I remember playing both halo 3 and reach with my cousins and their friends on an xbox 360 when I was 3-6, they would give me a rocket launcher and I would complain about how long it took to get into a game. Good times : )
I remember being super impressed with myself for having recon in halo reach even though i didn't really do anything to deserve it
reach was my fav too. i started in halo 2 but reach i had the most memories, to helping create machinimas, coop campaign, not too much multiplayer as well, mostly played custom maps and arcade games in forge. ima miss these halo memories
Reach was the first halo i had online for during its' prime, so this is a bit depressing for me. Played it pretty regularly up til the mcc port too, getting up to noble & unlocking inclement weather after like 2-3 yesrs of saving for it. One thing i will never argue about w reach is its' ui beimg the best of the series. The concept(?) art for all the different menus, your campaign progressing changing the main one (new alexandria was the best), the hype af music, it had everything in spades. Im genuinely suprised mcc hasnt added back all the old menus & their backgrounds- let alone copying the ui
"Last time you asked me, if I had a choice, would I do it?"
"My answer has not changed..."
I got in just as reach ended, Almost cried when I saw the deliver hope trailer, it was during the 2010 superbowl the highnote intro piano key caught my ear from across the room i see on the screen a spartan ive never seen before charging ahead , and FAILS!
my knowledge of the series was limited to the books I would order from the library or the clix i would save up to buy at the hobbyshop in town, I remember how happy I was when i got the warthog set.
But that add i never saw believe when it came out, I was like "Is this halo?! Then once it said remember reach I knew very well it was. Me and my friends played it soo soo much I made new halo friends along the way like many others
I still didn't have my 360 yet but that changed a year later and my Grandma took me to Walmart for my birthday on Nov 17th, 2011 and I got Combat Evolved anniversary,
and I finally got to learn the truth about the Great Journey and the Flood and so much of the original story.
Thank you to all of the warthog gunners out there!
Make it Count on the 11th
Nothing will heat play through Halo on legendary with my brother… Those memories, the exploding grunts, insta kill monster energy sword elites, the first time you meet the flood. I’ll cherish those days forever
I fear that the older we become, the further and further away we'll be from ever getting that feeling of nostalgia back. Nostalgia, derived from the Latin meaning, is broken up into two root words. The Latin word “nostos” which means “return home” and the word “algos” which means “pain.”
Bungie really had something special and luckily we all realized it, but we thought the good times would keep rolling. Thank you Bungie, for stealing many hours of sleep from teenage youth but rewarding them with fond memories of our childhood. Back when things were simpler. But Halo isn't dead, just missing in action. It was a privilege to partake in the best years of this community with each and every one of you that watch this video.
Halo Reach was the first Halo game I actually got to play, so it will always have a special place in my heart. I remember going to my friend's house and playing Firefight for hours with him.
halo 3, reach, and odst... those were some memories. an escape for me from a bad home situation, and the first real friends ive ever made. and I
showed up too late. here's to everyone who loves these games, no matter what you did on them.
I feel that most of the comments are about their favorite halo moments being with a family member or a friend. Mine is no different, as my best memories of halo was the copious amount of time spent playing through halo 2 with my younger brother. Those moments were among the best we've had together.
By far favorite gaming moment and Halo moment would be to come home from school and while my parents were still at work hop on and play Reach online with a friend. We mostly played Big Team Battle or invasion. One time we were just messing around and decided to drive a mongoose straight to the enemy base of the blood gulch remake. Ghost starts chasing us and I had the brilliant idea, I'll hop off the back and armor lock last minute and nothing will go wrong. Sure enough I hopped off and slammed my Armor lock, destroying the ghost and we continued our adventure for about 30 seconds before being destroyed by a Wraith.
Another time, same friend, playing BTB on Spire and I got sniper out the turret of the Falcon. Spawned on the ground and start getting chased by three enemies. I make a run for the area behind the rocks that drops into a cliff, yelling at my friend to pick me up while I kept the other three at bay with a concussion rifle. He swoops in and campaign style I jump off the cliff into the turret, where I proceed to kill the three guys and go on a killing spree. Lots of fun memories of moments like those fo me of just screwing around in game.
If I still had my Xbox 360 I would join in on joining the servers. Good luck to all those that do take part in this final stand. We're all with you on this!
I remember back in the day, everyday after school I’d come home, finish my homework and chores, then finally I could play. I would load up Halo Reach and play SWAT / Slayer. I miss my friends and those times.
I wish I had memories too look back on as silly, they're not silly, not at all, they're good, cherishable memories made with a good friend, most of mine from the Halo 3 days where I jumped off the Halo ship, are faded, I may still have some complete memories in here, but anything I can feel right now, is just fragments, although, i do remember meeting the first bunch of friends I had online there, first online gaming.
Holy shit, was Halo 3 my first online gaming experience, jesus see how faded my memories are, 17 going on 18.
Lost touch with them around 2011, still got 1 on steam but he hasn't been on in 10 years.
I never got to play 2 online, or be part of that final shutdown, & now I don't have a 360 to be part of this 1 either, it was the last online game I had any emotional attachment to as well, I won't care when MCC goes offline, aww man, there's no game series I give a shit about offlining after this....
They are good memories, to look back on & feel intoxicated by, especially when life gets tough on you, & it can get really tough on you.
It doesn't feel real, to be here at long last, I never thought of those servers shutting down, after all, it's just software running on a box, it can run along side other software, it really felt like this stuff could last for decades, & now, I find so much of my mind hoping a few years from now AI's could be integrated to maintain all the old online games, thereby removing the human cost to the companies, but I don't think any of the companies will, what would be the point in 5 or 10 years, except to companies composed of mainly lifelong gamers who understand.
You know, I haven't even played the PC Halo 3 online yet, played through the campaing for the first time in almost a decade, & that was it, didn't touch it again, that was almost a year ago man.
Ahh, I hope you get many years of enjoyment looking back on these memories man, I trully do feel you & your friend, with that quintesential music of the decade on in the background, I was like that with Halo 2, Castles in The Sky fuck me, This I Music 97 or some bollocks, I can't even remember now
I remember I turned 9 when halo reach came out. As a kid I grew up on the older games ce, 2, 3. But reach was my main childhood game and I will always love reach for what it gave me! All of them even halo 4 but to a smaller extent.
The Halo reach story was absolutely poetic, Shakespearean even. Exciting, tragic, moving. In the story itself and even the music
Almost cried when I thought back to all the memories I had on the original reach with my brothers.
I remember the first time I played Halo 3, I had bought the game but not a 360. Fortunately my friend knew another friend who owned one, so all 5 of us went to his place and fuckin went crazy on Sandtrap. The best first multiplayer game of my life. Also served as the first game I made a good friend online, still my friend today, even helps me with machinima from time to time. I don't think I'll ever get that feeling from the past back, but that's what memories are for.
I feel oddly sad about the servers going down, I'm just thankful they have 3 on MCC, with new stuff too, otherwise I'd be feeling hopeless. Halo 3 has got me through some strange times, and it really sold a style I wanted to work with for years to come.
Unfortunately don't have a functioning 360, so couldn't play it in the last moments, but seeing others do that feels perfectly fine to me. Honestly it's better I didn't play it then since I'd never want to say goodbye. I know listening to the music now is gonna have a different feel, definitely more... final. But again thanks to MCC it's not truly the end.
A truly amazing game, and I wouldn't give away my experience from it for the world.
I can't believe I missed it...thursday Jan 13th I was exhausted and unbelievably sore after Army Future Soldier Training after school and completely forgot it was the last day and I had planned to play till I got kicked off that night...but I forgot, passed out, missed it, and now my childhood that I planned to spend it's final hours with till the end is gone. That stings on a level I can't really express. Eight years of memories with Reach...gone.
To all the memories we made playing these games. From the soundtrack, to the stories, to playing with friends. From escaping the Ring after blowing up the Autumn, alone in a Longsword with Cortana. From leaving High Charity to follow the Prophet of Truth to Earth, leaving behind our constant companion and friend. The destruction of the Ark, sending off Johnson with a bang. To losing the Cortana we all loved, and seeing for the first time Chief in position we've never seen him before.
No matter what game you loved, no matter your weapons, your armor, your name.
You will never forget the series that made you feel like you were a hero. That you were all that stood between Humanity and extinction.
To the Spartans. The ODST's. The Men and Women of the UNSC. To the Chief. And to everyone who ever made a memory in this game.
We never die. We're just missing in action.
Halo Reach was the very first game where I played online multiplayer as I grew up playing custom games at my friends house for Halo nights. I was so addicted and never minded the grind as I never got tired of playing. While we can still play MCC which I love, the memories of the core original games are what makes it really special. My xbox 360 still works fine so I will definitely be on Halo Reach that night
I still remember reaching inheritor ranking on Halo reach jumping on my friends everyday after school I was 10 when the game came out
Me and my brother used to not have a good relationship back in the day but playing together through Halo 2 made us Bond one day
At first he hated playing with me because I was young and we had to play on easy like most big brothers do with their little brothers
But over the course of the next couple months I got better and better and eventually we did it
Me and my big brother finally hit the point of triumph and killed Tartarus and finished the campaign on the legendary
I still have nightmares of the jackal snipers but we celebrated hard that day and that's why Halo 2 will always be my favorite
The trials and tribulations of that unfair difficulty and overcoming that is the reason me and my older brother have the relationship we have today
Beautiful ❤️
Reach was the first halo I gave a chance. The story, the ambience, the mood, all of it made me a lifetime Halo fan. It just helped it was a prequel so I could jump straight into Chiefs story. Remember Reach peeps
Today is the day our memories now are set to rest, we Enjoyed these times playing multiplayer and other modes, but one thing is for sure. We will miss all of these moments, our final salute to all these games. Thank you for the memories.
I remember playing halo 3 with my father (he would always win) anyway I still had so much fun. 1-2 years come by and halo 4 comes out, I remember the first time we booted up the campaign and than some time later I get multiplayer access through a cousin’s account. Halo will always be a fond memory and it’s sad to see the servers go.
Playing halo combat evolved with my dad, sister and friend was fun. Also remembering playing halo 2 and replaying the one where you infiltrate the spider (Scarab or whatever) and I kept trying to get on it before the end.
Halo 3 was my first online game. I had to beg my parents to allow me get live so I could play with my friends. Halo 3, ODST, and Reach were the most important moments in gaming for me. Halo 1 and 2 were there too and those memories from playing those games first i'll cherish about as much, but the times I spent playing these wonderful games with friends were my best memories in gaming. It's extremely saddening to hear about the shutdown, it's expected but wow, truly the end of an era for me. Farewell Spartans.
I remember when I played halo for the first time it is a summer afternoon and over with my cousin we booted up halo 3 for the first time. I'm going to miss halo on the Xbox 360, will miss you halo it's been fun.
"Send me out with a bang" Sgt. Johnson
It's the end of an era sadly. nothing was better then getting home from school and hoping on some halo with the lads grinding matchmaking, goofing off in customs and losing entire nights in firefight. With a new era starting lets all make some new memories and friends.
Goodbye halo, thank you for all the memories. We’ve finished our fight and it was one we’ll never forget. Rest now knowing you’ll live on in the hearts and memories of thousands of fans who’ll always remember our fight. You went out with a bang ❤️
playing reach with my brother as a kid was the best time of my life, just a shame that all the good times have to go
This one hit me in the feels hard especially when you mentioned you and your friends wearing the same armor.. I remember on halo 3 me and my friend called ourselves the Hayabusa brothers and we would rock that armor and lay waste to everyone.
Man. Knowing this hit me with one wave of nostalgia, and then I saw Agent Carolina in the thumbnail…..
Yeah, I cried a lot.
I was there during original xbox days for halo 2s multi-player. You can't fathom memories.
halo 3 was my first proper game, and me and my brother have so many memories that I still love from then. Gonna be weird to see it go properly
I remember my first halo game halo 3 I didn't understand anything but I still had fun playing then reach came those where my happiness times i remember inviting a friend over to my house playing the hole game laughing at the silly things that happened during our play time spending hours customizing our Spartans and having a blast doing it
I played a ton of Halo reach when i was 6 years old when my dad introduced me to video games and every time I would visit him since my mom was divorced I would get on the campaign or firefight with my Dad and play non stop on the weekends and when it was the weekdays he would go to work in the army and I would be home alone playing multiplayer waiting for him to come back
His "Hold out for as long as possible" message hits the feels. May there be thousands of players, and when it eventually all falls, remember: "Spartans never die. They're just missing in action." Rest in peace Halo.
Edit: The servers are down. IDK if anyone is still holding them.
Halo Reach really was one of the last games where you would make lifelong friends out of people you met in multiplayer lobbies
An interesting history. Reach and Halo 2 are my joint favourites of all time from a storyline perspective and until Halo 5 I would have edged Halo 2 as my number 1. But the degradation of the storyline promotes Reach as my number 1. Not often a prequal is as good as the main line, never mind arguably better. Master Chief and the main story really couldn't exist without the exploits of the Noble team. This is why if anyone asks me Noble 6 or Master Chief, I would go Noble 6 all day long.
I did not know about this story, nor Noble 14 and ironically (or perhaps not) my 360 dying on me very early on meant I never played more than a little Halo 2 on it. Perhaps I don't have that nostalgia, being a little older, the PS1 era was my time, games like Tekkan and FFVII etc. were my nostalgia. So I only discovered ODST, Reach etc. on MCC, but having done many of the achievements I understand the principle. And to title the group Noble 14 really sings to the concept of a spartan. Even though I only experienced Reach on MCC and after I had played Halo 1-5 and ODST, it blew me away. It is such a shame that 343 appear to have lost their way with the development of the storyline, whether through the game or the underlying theme from game to game. I still hope for the re-emergence of Noble 6 in the series.
My friends that I haven't interacted with in years are finally back online for one last time
Reach was my first halo game I ever played along with 4 and CE anniversary so many good memories it's a shame what's happening
Rip Halo 3, ODST, and Reach 2007-2022 ❤️❤️ This game changed my life forever and am confident to say Halo 3 is the best game ever created. I’ll miss all of you Spartans ❤️
My brother and I played through all the halo campaigns on legendary. Up til 3 AM every morning. We caused hell playing online too. He sadly died 4 years ago in a car accident. 💔
