Halo Lore - Where was Master Chief DURING Reach? 

Homeboy was tired his back hurts from carrying the entire human race

Yeah, I'm Noble SIX... S - Survived I - In a X - Cave

Weird, ODST and Reach are my favorite halos, primarily because you’re NOT the chief, the feeling of dread and despair really took over during those games

"Where was master Chief during Reach" *Proceeds to talk about how Cortana and Keyes shot a mac gun at a covenant ship*

He was waiting to kick ass in halo 1 👌🏻

All cryo pods were ejected from The Autumn when it was shot down as per protocol. After Installation 04 was destroyed Chief found Lindas cryo pod drifting in space and recovered her pod.

I bet the gunner in the death ray covenant was a halo 2 jackel sniper

The chief was taking it easy, drinking beers and chilling with Cortana....

What if Halo reach was made into a big budget movie? Like with a star wars budget, it would be awesome!

I love halo Reach

I feel like people don't understand cheif wasn't picked as the fastest or the strongest. Not the smartest either. Dr. H chose him from the jump because he was the "luckiest"

"Shipmaster, we outnumber them three to one." "Then it is not an even fight."

Reach: he was preoccupied ODST: it was during Halo 2

He killed too many team mates and was waiting to respawn.

I love how the Pillar if Autumn's Halcyon class carrier class could withstand 90% hull damage, and still function.

343 could make a whole game with missions from Chiefs past.

Halo Reach 2 could be a thing for real

Something you left out: Fred, Kelly and Joshua stole three banshees to throw a nuke up the grav lift of a Covenant cruiser. The mission was successful, although Joshua was shot down by plasma cannons and if he wasn't killed by that, he was certainly killed by the detonation of the nuke.

For those who dont know, the cortana that we see in halo reach was a fragment of cortana that was sent 2 study the forrunner structure, after the pillar of autam pick up master chief, keyes was notify by hasley that the fragment of cortana was ready and was sending noble team to deliver the package, so the autum was sent back to reach to land a the shipyard in ezod to make repairs and wait 2 retrieve the package, this is where the mission pillar of autam started, (if i remember correctly i think this was confirm in halsey journal bout the fragment)

Man! Does this guy really like saying “All hell breaks loose.”

imagine a game about what six did before the events of reach

I yearn for a Halo game that allows hundreds of spartans to participate in a single mission and split into squads for different operations in a extremely huge map. The story will depend on the outcome of the spartan missions

I like the change in your voice tone and that you're cracking more jokes.

Every time you upload it's like a mini christmas

"One of the biggest complaints about Reach and ODST is the fact that Master Chief was not present." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why this fandom is just the worst

Master Chiefs point of view of Reach would make a good game

Why haven't you talked about scarabs in Halo infinite

Before watching the vid: Wasn’t he frozen? In a cutscene in halo reach, if you were holding the aim stick on the right side, you were able to see master chief in a cryopod

Cortana was on reach and on the pillar before she was brought to the pillar? I think we have a mix up here.

I already knew all of this because I read the books but I love your presentation. The fall of reach will forever be my favorite book from the series.

Amazing work dude. I have actually read the books and I am confirming that most of what you said was true. Vids like these are great for those who don't wanna read the books. keep up the good work. I am looking forward to your next video! pls make it a halo 6 one. (ps. upload more frequently! XD)

Man halo..... god i cant describe with words this thing.....the music the lore.. the missions the character's personalities.

So, I'm pretty sure the book "The Fall of Reach" is cannon, so I'll be basing my nit picks on what I remember from that. 1. 3:39 Master Chief's plan was to board a "disabled" ship, one which would still be repairable, and use it as an infiltration device to kidnap a prophet to negotiate with the covenant, as per his original mission (not nuke it). 2. 5:08 Kinda minor, but it was bugging me, so I decided to point it out. Technically, it should be called, "A" data base (since data bases were on every ship) what made THIS database special was that some ONI numbnut forgot to enact the Cole Protocol. 3. 7:59 Master Chief's mission was just to destroy the Navigation crystal, not plant a nuke. In fact, it required boots on the ground specifically BECAUSE a ship couldn't do the job (if conventional weapons were used, there was a chance the crystal would survive, while a nuclear method risked shorting out the MAC Vs) 4. 12:22 Specifically, Emergency chemical thrusters, which had a lot more ooomph to them compared to the rear fusion engines. Basically, a sudden controlled explosion on the side of the hull 5. 12:30 The sequence of events is slightly misconstrued. First, they fired an initial barrage of three MAC rounds, along with 500 archer missiles (not anchor missiles). Captain Keyes noted that despite only a few missiles actually impacting the enemy vessel with superficial damage, they had managed to down their shields. He then ordered another similar firing solution, but this time with a remote piloted longsword with a Shiva nuke onboard. Just as they were prepared to fire, however, they were hit by blast from the new Ship's weapons. The venting atmosphere initially disrupted their aim, until Cortana finally managed to get a firing solution in place. After a chaotic mess, the enemy shields were down, and the longword was successfully rammed into the side of the Covenant ship. In a particularly satisfying moment, the enemy's shield actually CONTAINED the nuclear blast, which was what actually allowed the Pillar of Autumn to survive such a close range nuke. 6. 15:58 In the book, Fred actually instructed the other spartans to jump out of the ship, believing it gave them a better chance at surviving. It likely did, but you can only increase your chances of surviving a supersonic free fall by so much. 4 spartans died hitting the ground, several were too injured to move (which probably meant like a shattered spine, considering who they were) and everyone else was at least seriously injured (Basically, everyone have broken bones, while Kelly was on the verge of death, requiring organ replacement). 7. 16:22 It was actually before the spartans arrived that saw a large groups of marines dying. One of the surviving four marines (the only surviving group out of about a company of 400) explained that they had barely managed to hold out, and were expecting death basically any second. A lot of their forces had actually died when someone called in an airstrike and an idiot had the brilliant idea of bombing EVERYTHING, killing the Covenant, but also a majority of the marines. There were also several points in the video where the more amazing spartan feats were skimmed over, but none were explicitly wrong as far as I could tell. Overall, it was quite an interesting video I enjoyed.

Spartan Joshua was actually lost (MIA) on reach before blue team make it to castle base. Joshua is taken out by the bomb he sets because his banshee goes down within the blast proximity. It never says he dies (even though it is implied) but that's the last mention of him. This happens about midway through the book first strike.

Wow, learned something new about the Halo series. Love your content and keep it up!

Can we have this as a game

Chief was prepping for a mission with to capture a Prohpet. Due to the Invasion they Red Team went planetside to fight and he luckily ended up on Autumn. That's where he was.

To make the story short They were kicking ass off screen

I already know this because I read a book master chief was in space fighting on a unsc in space where he then returned to the pillar of autumn as it took off where they went to slip space and went fleeing the covenant

Keys: “new mission blue team. We’re gonna need to delete the nav map” Fred: “why is this a mission? Can’t we just send a message to the station and have them delete it?” Keys: “no, comms may be compromised” Fred: “isn’t there some kind of protocol to destroy very sensitive data?” Keys: “Fred, you will now be team leader of a new team called red team. It’s an entirely new team that was just created. You will run suicide missions. That’ll teach you not to make too much sense. If you survive, you might get a spin off series.” Fred: “nice!” Keys: “it’ll be prefamous YT series” John: “can we get a pelican?” Keys: “why?” John: “cuz I wanna jump out of it” Keys: “suuuure” John: “gonna also need a nuke. I wanna do the cool guys don’t look at explosions bit”

It always bothered me that Cortana was with the pillar during Reach, since the cutscenes in Reach make it seem like she was a for runner AI, which makes so much more sense since she’s supposed to be the game changer

Glad to know Reach will be glassed on my 567th birthday

I learn new halo lore everyday, thanks for the amazing video dude! :D

I absolutely love your videos of the gaps on the halo games, keep up the good work.

2:11 “donctor” Halsey. Lmao

Wow, I know Halo is in a dry spell right now but geez. Just read the fall of reach. Hell, I would encourage everyone in this comment section to listen to the audio book on RU-vid for free.

"When they were sent down to ARBY's" I love RU-vid ads and hope they never change

I have trouble reading words , these videos are amazing , takes a whole book series into audible videos , cheers !

I always assumed John-117 was doing his own thing on Reach the whole time, and the easter egg we saw was him being freshly prepared for the escape. Like he had just went into cryo-sleep minutes prior to seeing him. This probably wouldn't have made much sense anyway since I think the events of them escaping would have been so short there would be little to no point in freezing him for the trip.

Love the Space Engineers Screen Cap @ 3:56

Captain Keyes: We need you Chief, Reach is under attack. John: Fuck off man 30 more minutes.

PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS I LOVE THEM. AND AUDIBLE IS PERFECT FOR HALO

I love these videos, keep up the good work!

the bigger question: where is Emile's skull on his helmet during the 2 last missions of Reach.

Keep up the your work its amazing , you do lots of research and it reflects 🤞🙌

I was actually wondering this recently, glad you coincidentally posted this

Tore through 50 “U N S SHESHIPS”

This doesnt explain how chief was in the cyro chamber at all in the start of 1

Job well done on yet another analysis sir. I like the classic intro music.

These type of videos are awesome. Nice work

Then what happened to Linda after recovery? How did she escape the destruction of the first ring? I know Johnson managed to survive but how did she? And the one with Castle Base, Hasley was also being housed there after being transported by Jun (read Fist of Arrow, which is technically fan fiction but has been accepted by Bungie and 343), who also survived Reach by climbing up an orbital elevator and taking a pelican out (this is from something else).

You should talk about the covenant and how they deal with flood infestations and humans deal with flood infestations and compare which one is better. I would love that.

This was beautiful. Excellent work. Subbed and liked.

Do you have a video of the first Human Covenant contact?

Why da FAQ where you taking a nap when other Spartans wErE FaQiNg DyIng

FYI I think it's said somewhere that the Cov. thought Reach was Humanity's Homeworld

YES! Please more videos about Reach!

I like to hear the lore man, GG with the channel.

imagine the Red vs Blue series was involved with the story of Halo.

There is a map in halo reach forge and it's in the gamma station. You even have some clip of it in the video at 17:53 Also, question: do you think that the generators are a reference to the generator defence mode in firefight?

Master Chief: takes a week and a half break after fighting the flood on a giant ancient super weapon ring. "aight, back to Reach to save the squad"

More Reach videos please. Keep up the good work.

the covenant during reach was badass definitely showed there prime in reach

During the cutscene where the pillar of autumn escapes you can actually look to your right when the cutscene shows the pillar of autumn's barracks and see the master chief in a cryo chamber, so pretty much to sum it up he was in cryo sleep on the pillar of autumn... Crazy right? (Edit) crap I should have just watched the first 10 seconds of the video before commenting😆

Brilliant content and delivery.

Your the best person for halo lore and other and you help me learn a lot THANK YOU

UNPOPULAR Opinion: reach is the best game out of all of them

He was held back in reserve by UNSC Command.

Amazing video👌 and that’s why its important to read the halo books

I have read the books all but the new one and halo follower keep up the good work and my favorite halo books are the ones about the forerunners and the flood

I just wanna know why they're all using Mac guns when Halo was published by Microsoft 🤔

They got in the super ships shield because everytime that new weapon fired the shield would drop due to energy drain. That's why Cortona had them wait till the last second to dodge the blast.

Halo fall of reach fantastic book, gives you all this information and has some of the most interesting to read space battles would def reccomend

i enjoyed everything about this video, now i would love to see another halo reach game where you can play the missions during these events instead of playing as noble team

If Linda was on the piller of autumn same ship in halo one, it crashed killing 80% troops did she recover soon enough to flee past the flood and covenant that master chief killed and you can’t say she stayed there on the Halo because it was destroyed.?!?!?

I have high hopes for halo infinite even though I shouldn't just the more original style of it is giving me nostalgia

Been a long time fan, love this account

Perfect! Great explaining

I Want a prequel series for Halo. It’d be pretty cool to see everything we didn’t in the base game series. Prequels didn’t work very well for Star Wars but I still would like to see.

I didn’t get how/why cortana was with chief already when in halo Reach we see her with halsey and Noble 6

Thx for making this

When you reach the point where you can look back at where you were released from cryo-sleep, exit as usual and then don’t go on after you exit the small room

I actually liked a change from chief. Honestly I enjoy ODST and Elites any day as protags ^^

this is literally the first time I EVER hear the creator swear

I'm glad we started with the scene where chief is in a stasis pod. I thought you were going to save that legendary easter egg ending for last lmfao.

I hope you guys realize to make these videos he has to do a ton of research and find all of these clips. Great video!

Still bugs me how he says this before every video “it’s gonna be fun guys let’s get into it” can you just get into it?

Man oh man if only the game was as good as the book...bungo y u fail us

This all makes so much sense omg

Tbh everytime I hear stories about what chief was doing before halo 1 I like to try to sync those stories with the events of halo reach and imagine them happening simultaneously
