Halo: Reach, easily the biggest and most ambitious Halo title yet, includes an intense, pulse-pounding [[Campaign]], an addictive and frenetic [[Multiplayer]], a riveting four-player Co-operative [[Firefight]] mode, the massive [[Forge World|ForgeWorld]] experience, and a [[Theater]] mode to capture it all. With more modes, maps, missions, and features than ever before, Halo: Reach represents the complete Halo experience—a tour de force of stunning visuals, powerful story, epic encounters, and more replayability than any Halo title to date!

:[[Airview Base|Airview]], a watchpoint for the classified Sword facility, was targeted by the Covenant during their occupation of Reach. They quickly set up their own anti-aircraft guns, twin [[Type-38 Tyrant|T-33 Tyrants]], as they took control of the region and of Sword Base itself. Now the UNSC has returned to take back the site from the Covenant, using the aliens' own weapon emplacements as defensive fortifications.

:Lower [[New Alexandria]]'s [[Caracalla Park]] once offered visitors a survey of the city's resplendent skyline and its majestic Delphi triple-strand network. When the Covenant arrived, they attempted to cut off a critical [[civilian]] escape route by taking several [[M95 Lance|M950 Lance emplacements]] offline. Their efforts, however, would not go unchecked, as local UNSC forces fought to take back the area.

:The battle for Reach continues near a large [[titanium]] mine and refinery located in the Viery civilian sector of the planet. This particular mine was built to take advantage of the exposed titanium inside a massive meteor crater. While this facility was quickly abandoned when the Covenant arrived on Reach, it still has significant tactical (and economic) value and it won't be long before both humans and Covenant return to battle for control.

===Overview===
In 2552, the Covenant discovered the planet Reach. The UNSC mounted an unparalleled defense against the alien war machine. At the heart of this conflict was Noble Team, an experienced group of accomplished soldiers prepared to meet the enemy head-on. Now, with the addition of the team’s newest member—Noble Six—this squad will face its most challenging mission yet: the defense of Reach.
 
Developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Reach includes a pulse-pounding campaign, addictive multiplayer, riveting four-player Co-operative Firefight mode, and the massive Forge map-editing experience… and a Theater mode to capture it all. With more modes, maps, missions, and features than ever before, Halo: Reach is a masterpiece of stunning visuals, powerful story, epic encounters, and endless replayability.
