Background Battles: Halo Reach-Tip of the Spear

UNSC launches joint ground and air assault against Covenant landing forces on Reach. Most underrated part of a lot of games is the background battles.

The added depth the battles going on in the background was just the icing on top of the cake. The scale of the battle in Tip of the Spear show that the UNSC isn't about to let Reach go without a fight

The various skirmishes you see during the Falcon ride on Exodus and the collasping skyscrapers and Covenant cruisers glassing the city in New Alexandria sap hope for Reach's salvation and reinforces the idea that its no longer about holding ground but saving all that can be saved

Then the Pillar of Autumn is the icing on the cake, when you see Scorpions and warthogs desperately fighting against scarabs, wraiths, banshees and ghost's you realise this is Reach's last stand, the last few ships on or in orbit of the planet are fleeing and there are still many units and regiments continuing to fight against overwhelming odds.

Halo Reach is just amazing

From an in universe perspective I still find it hard to believe that the unsc couldn’t tell that a giant ass ship was floating above the battle ground the entire time. I mean look at those long swords. They would realistically have crashed into the long night of solace after the bombing run. Still a really cool mission and great game just something that always bugged me about reach.

If theres still vehicles to kill the ship gets them for you iirc

This is so far the best example of a coil gun firing

Glorious moment in Reach. Unfortunately it's a little messed up in MCC. Now the Autocannons either don't fire at all or fire green/blue pulses instead of the orange tracers seen here.

I never even looked at this lol just went on with the mission XD

A shame the visuals on the ship guns (among other things) were kind of fucked up in the port and never fixed
