Fun Fact: The reason the covenant fleet that destroyed Reach was so massive. Was because the covenant hierarchy mistook Reach for the Human Homeworld, due to its resources and enormous military presence on the planet.

Remember Reach...

Beautiful, ain't it? Someone should take a picture - Jorge 052

Mission Objective: *SURVIVE*

"He gave his life thinking he just saved the planet, we should all be so lucky."

"Tell'em to make it count" - Jorge-052

"It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."

We may have lost Reach, but we made them pay a thousand times it's worth for it. After we ran out of bullets we crushed them with rocks. When they gutted us we strangled them with our own entrails. When they bled us we drowned them in our blood. They may have won, but we made them regret it. Remember Reach.

I'd like to think that the Fall of Reach had the same effect on Humanity as the Fall of Cadia. A Fortress world besieged by overwhelming forces whose own defenders fought on even as the world's surface was engulfed in fire and death. It awoken the essence of mankind. The primal desire to live. And every battle following the Fall showed just that. From the lowly civilian factory worker who picked up arms alongside marines on Earth, to the lowly ODSTs who jumped feet first onto hell on every Forerunner instillation they came across, to the ships and fleets of the UNSC Navy who even outnumbered, fought on to the last man. And in the end, the Covenant's own victory, became their downfall. Remember Reach.

"The Office of Navel Intelligence calls deploymeant of a Spartan team a "gross missallocation of valueable resources". I disagree."

"I'M READY HOW ABOUT YOU?!!!!"

''The covenant is on Reach, acknowledge?'' ''Come again Noble 1, did you say Covenant?'' ''Affirmative...It's the winter contingency.'' … ''…May god help us all.''

"Good Work Spartan...Halsey assured me I can count on you." "Not just me, sir." "They will be remembered." "Lieutenant, get aboard! We need to get the hell out of here!" "Negative. I have the gun, good luck sir." "Good Luck to you, Spartan." ...the scene that makes me tear up the most in Halo Reach. I hope we get to see the reborn Reach in any of the future Halo games.

It wouldn't be a Noble mission if it were easy...

THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE SPARTANS DID! REACH STANDS!

Reach broke before the UNSC did.

It will always be too soon to discuss Reach - y’all did it a true service

The Book "Fall of Reach" is realy great to learn more about this planet. I can highly recommend it for everybody who want's to know more about Reach, the Masterchiefs backstory, or just want's to come into the Halo-verse. I came to it through this book and I'm a big fan since. ^^

"I saw him there. I fought him. I thrust my sword through his chest. And yet, when I looked in his eyes, I saw no fear. No hate. Only relief and iron calm. He had found peace and he was willing to depart from his husk of mortal flesh. I hope that I can face my death with that same powerful calm." Sar 'Suli, an Elite who engaged Noble-6 in the final battle on Reach

Remember, Spartans never die... they only go MIA.

“Listen, Reach has been good to me. Time has come to return the favor, don’t deny me this. Tell em to make it count.” Awesome video, Reach has always been my favorite Halo game and favorite planet in the lore. Also, Jorges line is so tragic, he dies thinking he just saved his home only for it to be utterly annihilated in the span of a month.

*Reach, Our Fortress Among The Stars*

Ah yes Reach... You will never find a better last stand, nor greater forlorned hope to host your most epic death contest. Really Noble lead. You couldn't jump from the Pelican?

"Tell em to make it count."

“Remember Reach” It’s not a question, it’s an order. I order you to Remember Reach. I order you to remember the fallen, I order you to remember the men and women in arms who gave their lives in defense of the human race. Remember Reach

Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

From the beginning, you know the end

Reach will never truly fall. Because now, it is the fortress of our hearts.

Hey, you should one day make Latveria or Madripoor for Atlas. I miss more comic book related content aside from Gotham.

Reach is probably my favorite fictional planet of all time, so much backstory, so much development, it’s near mind boggling.

Ah Reach. Good memories.

What would become the greatest defeat, would become the greatest victory.

Best planet ever, and the only suitable name for your best performing colony in Stellaris (giving you the special building "Moa Mcburger" with +5% empire happiness)

Ah man, as a Hungarian I was so looking forward to hear Larissa pronounce "Csodaszarvas" (one of Reach's moon) as I know how much work she puts into getting these things right.

Reach was like Cadia but the guard broke before the planet did

WORT WORT WORT

I just dont get the fight between WH40K and halo, they both face overpowered foes, in different ways but both of them did it whit the sole objetive of making a better future for the manking, i can see both the Emperor and The Master proud of the one that stand on reach. Why you cant, fellow human or astartes?

Cadia wants to have such a great vacation like reach had... But still reach was one hell of a last stand

The planet broke before the guard did! Wait..........

Remember people Fall of Reach: Reach fell in one day Bungies retcon: about 4 months

Next time can you go over more geography such as continents, major oceans and cities?

Is Reach the third planet in the Epsilon system? If so, then Babylon 5 orbits Reach pre-terraforming

Halo 5 player: Let me guess... Your home? Noble 6: It was. And it was beautiful. Reach was like most games. Too many players to go around and bungie is gone but then 343 industries offered a solution, Halo 4.

Welp, now you have to do the various Shield Worlds! They count as locations, so get to it! :D

The covenant had to kill all the inhabitants of Reach to prevent Cadia: The prequel

Some suggestions for future Atlas vids:- Death Star (Star Wars) Deep Space 9 (Star Trek) Sera (Gears of War) Midgar (Final Fantasy VII) Cybertron (Transformers) Hogwarts (Harry Potter) Outworld (Mortal Kombat)

A High Command episode about the Battle of Reach would be cool. Although between The Fall of Reach and Halo Reach there is a lot of conflicting information, apparently Halsey’s Journal smooths out those inconsistencies but I’ve never been able to obtain one of those.

The new founding fathers: the purge The arachnids: star ship troopers Devil man: devil man Dante :devil may cry

The planet fell before the Spartans did

REACH STANDS!

Ah, my favorite halo game. A game I sank countless hours into. A game that helped me forge friendships. Such an amazing video game

The only other halo game I've played

Recommendation for Atlas. Eureka, America's smartest little town.

Reach.... the narration and music really do paint how somber the fall of reach was for the UNSC. Good job. As for losses... the UNSC was outnumbered at least 2 to 1 in the fight but managed to inflict disproportionately heavy losses on the covenant from their stubborn and ferocious defense. Even local militias and civilians armed themselves and joined the defense efforts. Including all reinforcements that arrived, the UNSC navy lost at least 352 warships at Reach alone (which their dwindling navy probably numbered 1000 warships or less) plus an unknown amount of civilian vessels and other non-combat star ships. Many of those ships, were by now either hard to replace like cruisers, or impossible to replace like the punic class super carriers. Human military and civilian losses were well over 4 billion (somewhere close to 4.5 billion). In addition, almost all the remaining SPARTAN super soldiers died here. The fighting lasted just over two months from start to finish. Just shows how heavy the fighting was. That means the average amount of deaths per day was around sixty-two million five hundred thousand. The covenant come in waves so exact numbers are unknown, but the largest wave had over 300 warships alone. That was the main force led by to-be arbiter, Thel Vadamee. The covenant sent the largest recorded fleet in the human covenant war aside from High Charity's escort fleet, and their best and bravest troops to Reach because they thought it was the human homeworld because of the military presence and infrastructure.

'Its the winter contingency Sir.' ........'May God help us all'

These were the days... We were prepared to fall in 2010. Our last stand not in vein... Remember Reach

Halo Reach is still the best game out of the series

Do you remember Reach? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

We need a High Command video on the Battle of Reach

"Don't cut yourself"- Emile "Thank you for sharing"-Kat

“Our victory, your victory was so close, i wish you couldve lived to see it but you belong to reach, your body and armour all burned and turned to glass, except your courage, that you gave to us.”

Just became a member of the templin institute. wow

audible books may become more popular these days, how about investigating the Doctor Who verse like Time Lords, the Doctor or UNIT.

The mountains especially remind me of what we get to see of Alderaan in Revenge of the Sith and The Old Republic.

Can you do an episode on the umbrella corporation from resident evil

"I know we're losing! I want to know if we've lost..."

I was hoping to hear more about the ancient artifacts Reach possessed but this is still a good investigation. Keep up the great work, Templin Institute!

OoOo. you guys should do the Red Faction from....well all the Red Faction games. or Rokkaku gouji from the jet set radio games, or maybe the gangs as a whole?

Remember Cadia!!! .... I mean Reach

Halo Reach is my favorite Halo game yeah the fall of reach that final battle was badass

On the game "ogame" i always name my planets after those in the halo lore.

You should do a video about the whole human covenant war that would be a great video.👌👌👍👍👍👏👏

Wonder what are the number of humans are left, I still believe that earth is not there only world still filled with humans.

Easily one of the best games I've played.

UNSC loses were high but I seem to recall the Covenant taking a few hits too.

Where does he get off calling a demolition op priority one-

Where do we recommend video ideas? Because I would like to suggest the Moscow Metro of METRO 2033

Can you do the Orokin (Warframe)

to bad the game made reach seem to be nothing you never got to see anything real important outside a single city

Marine: Lieutenant, get on board! We need to get the hell outta here!!! N6: Negative. I have the gun. Good luck, sir. Keyes: Good luck to you, Spartan. Remembering the fallen Noble Team (Carter, Kat, Emille, Jorge, and two Noble Sixes)

"Which was reflected in many of the names..." In hungarian? Are you crazy that language is a total hell no wonder they were harsh having grown up in something like Törökszentmiklós.

Fun fact: alot of people still survive on Reach after the covenant left. Just look at halo 5 😅. Another little bit of information. When the covenant found/ attacked, Reach. Reach defensives were already starch thin by that point. Most were either moved to other worlds or destroyed in defending other areas. That only a hand full of ships remain as Reach defenses. 20 ODP with only like 2 dozen (mostly) small ships left fornthe planetary defense.

Thank you guys for covering Reach. Halo will always hold a special place in my heart, especially Halo 3 ODST and Reach. I know there are a lot of topics and places you have yet to cover, but I do want to suggest going over the UN Spacy from Macross. Preferably the original version, and not the bastardization that is Robotech. Thank you, and I look forward to a new year of content from the Institute.

will you investigate worlds or organisations from anime?

Great video as always. Consider doing one for Mars from 40k maybe?

Do the Shadow War from Babylon 5

These guards broke before the planet *Pathetic*

Say goodbye, close your eyes - remember reach Walk away, the sun remains - remember reach I'll live forth somewhere in your heart, You must believe - remember reach

Halo is so beautiful. FOR THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES DEFENDING EARTH AND HER COLONIES.

Where is the next chapter of stellaris invicta?????!!!!!! I need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember Reach... War takes but It leaves us with heros and heroes never die!

It would be nice if on a future Halo title or DLC they return to Reach. It would be interesting to see how much it changed years later.

The Fall of Reach is one of the most important parts of the Halo lore in regards to the Human/Covenant War; losing such a strategically vital woirld like that in just over a month is devastating defeat. Especially when you account all the effort the UNSC put into defending it, it wasn't enough to do anything but delay the inevitable. Halo: Reach really did a good job at balancing the feel of an empowering shooter, while making you feel the effects of a hopeless situation, as the covenant pull out one trump card after another, as your teammates fall in combat one by one, right down to fighting alone in a classic spartanic last stand.

A dossier on the Doom Marine?

Reach: the Cadia that could’ve been
