Halo : Reach




The game begins with player character joining Noble Team as a replacement for a fallen comrade. Colonel Holland, the team's commander, sends the Spartans to discover why a relay station on Reach went offline, suspecting damage done by insurgents. Instead of human rebels, Noble Team discovers the Covenant. Soon after, Noble team is deployed to "Sword Base", an installation belonging to the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), for defensive purposes; the scientist Catherine Halsey, mastermind of the SPARTAN-II program and the MJOLNIR powered armor worn by SPARTANs, informs Noble Team that the Covenant at the relay were searching for important information.

As the Covenant arrive on the planet en masse, Noble Team is dispatched on various defensive missions such as assaulting a Covenant ground base and removing fortified Covenant defenses. When a massive super-carrier joins the fight, Jorge and Six infiltrate a smaller ship, intending to dock it with the super-carrier then destroy it with a makeshift bomb. When the detonator malfunctions, Jorge sacrifices himself to destroy the carrier; soon after a larger Covenant fleet arrives to continue the assault. Noble Six regroups with the rest of the team in assisting with the evacuation of the planet, during which Kat is killed by a sniper.

Recalling Noble Team to Sword Base, Halsey shows them an ancient Forerunner artifact that she believes is key to winning the war. Noble Six, Carter, and Emile are entrusted with taking the artificial intelligence Cortana, and the information she carries, to the UNSC ship Pillar of Autumn, while Jun is assigned to evacuate Halsey in a Pelican dropship.

En route to the Autumn's dry dock, Carter became seriously wounded and decides to sacrifices himself and the team's Pelican to destroy a mobile assault platform, and Emile takes control of a coilgun emplacement to defend the Autumn while Captain Jacob Keyes arrives to secure Cortana. Emile is slain by Elites, and Six opts to remain on Reach and take Emile's place at the gun while the Autumn escapes. The game depicts the opening scene of Halo: Combat Evolved, in which Cortana and the Pillar of Autumn discover the franchise's titular Halo ringworld, followed by the credits and a personal message of thanks from Bungie.

The post-credits scene puts the player in control of Noble Six's last stand against overwhelming Covenant forces. Six's shattered helmet is left discarded on the ground in a shot that mirrors the game's opening scene. Over thirty years later, the same helmet rests on the grassy plains of a now-rejuvenated Reach. A narration by Halsey eulogizes Noble Team's sacrifice, which enabled the victory over the Covenant.
