“SURVIVE” (HALO: REACH)
Halo: Reach is still one of the best Halo campaigns ever (if not flat-out the best, period), but out of all the memorable and breathtaking moments that define that experience, the one that fans will always remember is the very end. Noble 6’s final stand against insurmountable odds and eventual death while the planet of Reach burns in the background was heart-wrenching and truly haunting, and will forever remain one of the best things Halo has ever done. Will the Spartan fight against an undefeatable foe right until the end, or give up and accept an untimely death? The fact that that depressing narrative element is baked right into the gameplay at that moment makes it all the more impactful.
