Fans agree Halo: Reach has one of the greatest endings ever seen in gaming.
Halo series games have provided some of the greatest moments in gaming – especially the original titles from Bungie before 343 Industries took control.
Bungie released Halo: Reach on Xbox 360 in 2010 as their final green brand game before moving on to develop Destiny series games. Instead of continuing Master Chief’s story arc, Halo: Reach featured a collective known as Noble Team who were charged with protecting planet Reach from an onslaught by Covenant forces.
Halo: Reach is a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved and when its story concludes you may feel an instant desire to play as Master Chief again in Halo: CE, yet first Reach presents its epic and emotionally compelling tale of survival as humanity’s sole hope on Earth Reach – its conclusion should leave tears running freely; otherwise you are probably human!
Reddit thread comments will contain spoilers for Halo: Reach, so treat this as your final warning of spoilers. Redditor Jakeyboah13 asked, “Which game had the coolest/badass ending?” which led to numerous suggestions being offered up including Halo: Reach.
“Halo: Reach, objective: SURVIVE,” replied SjurEido. Tasty Puffin then shared his response about Halo: Reach as her favorite game growing up; its final mission involves fighting until death – so SjurEido provided this great answer and one Reddit user commented they played that as young children and that first Halo game as my introduction into how characters die as well as first Halo game; therefore going into it thinking there might still be chance but eventually dying and realising there would never make it off Reach before finally succumbing,” exclaimed another Reddit user who expressed disbelief about what might happen when there wasn’t and an ultimate attempt fought and killed them off Reach forevermore.
“Regardless of how hard we fight or how many enemies fall at our feet, there will always be another wave coming,” Loafman15 warned. All a fighter has left to battle is weapons in their hands and whatever else may exist for protection from enemies that remain.
Halo: Reach is backward compatible between Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles and available through Halo: The Master Chief Collection on both Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
