When humanity got there, all that was there was a swamp. All the other generals thought that I was daft to build a colony on a swamp. But I built it anyways! Just to show them. The first colony fell over and sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. It fell over and sank into the swamp. The third colony caught on fire, fell over, then fell into the swamp. But the fourth! The fourth stood up! And thats what your going to get lad. The best colony in the galaxy.

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."
—Cortana to John-117

Basicly, the covie slip in to Reach Space, the UNSC and Covenant fleet fight, but in the end the UNSC can't push them back. The cheif and 2 members of his team Go and defend a space station orbiting Reach and in the end destroy it to protect the location of Earth.

The rest of Blue team go planet side to defend the MAC cannon power station from being destroyed. Because the SUPER MAC is the only thing that is making the Covenant's attack harder. But in the end the Spartan Blue team and Prof Hasley end up taking seltar in ONI cave bunker that is on the small part of Reach that did not get glassed. The Cheif gets on the PoA by him self because his two spartans got killed, one by an elite I think and the other ended up floating in space. Linda was also on the PoA but then got ejected because of Cpt Keys crashing the ship, but then was later after Halo 1 was resqued by John.

Then Halo 1 took place. The Cheif, Sragent Johnson and 1 ODST and 1 pilot take control, with Cortana's help, the Covenant Flag Ship, and Jump back to Reach and Save Kelly, Fred, Will, and Hasley, then Jumped away.

That is the just of it. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Fall_of_Reach Here is the link to the Fall of Reach page on halopedia.

Then the fourth one got invaded by a singing lunatic, a fur-clad beardface and his little nancy boy son.

Look Here for all the Reach Answers that don't have Monty Python references!

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

If only people used wikipedia and halopedia more often instead of just asking around without even trying to look for an answer.

No worries. You should read the books. They are a good read.

who wants to see brutes in halo reach I want it to be the toughest halo game to beat. maybe they should create a diffculty after Lengendary and they should have between 13-18 skulls to choose from to activate so whatever was after Lengendary with all the skulls on would like the mythic diffculty or tougher(mythic is when you have the game on legendary with all the skulls turned on)also they should have new vehicles and different armor for multiplayer.

Caboose -1


It looks like a Puma?!?

Also, John-117 Killed I, think 2 O.D.S.T Troopers during training.

Halo : Combat Evolved. The TRUE Beginning.

He killed many more than just two...

He only killed two in a fist fight due to the ODST's making fun of John. Then on the "training exercise" with Cortana, he only wounded the ODST's, he did not kill them. " The orders where to defeat all threats, and the ODST's where not threats anymore." That was more or less what John said in the book.
