https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzae7WhrTvnsb8-iem99Uww Prólogo:El Prólogo tiene lugar en el planeta Jericho VII, el 12 de Febrero de 2535, y presenta a los Spartans y su propósito. Como la máquina de guerra del Covenant, aparentemente imparable, se mueve para cristalizar Jericho VII, los Equipos Spartan Azul y Rojo son enviados para evitar la destrucción del planeta. Los Spartans se las arreglan para matar a mil Unggoy e incluso destruir un ataque aéreo Covenant con Fougasses. Sin embargo, pronto la situación en el espacio se deteriora, y los Spartans se ven obligados a retirarse antes que la superficie de Jericho VII sea cristalizada. Sección I: Toque de DianaLa historia en sí comienza con la Dra. Catherine Halsey y el Teniente Junior Jacob Keyes a bordo de la Han, una Lanzadera Diplomática del UNSC. Al viajar al planeta colonial Eridanus II, su misión consistía en identificar a un posible candidato para el Programa SPARTAN-II de Halsey, John. La Dra. Halsey encuentra a John en un patio de la Primaria de Elysium, donde ella determina su idoneidad para el programa usando una moneda. Con la moneda, ella pone a prueba los reflejos de John, ya que él es capaz de ver como voltea la moneda en el aire e identificar el lado en que va a aterrizar: el águila. Durante este tiempo, Halsey le da a John la moneda. Más tarde, John será secuestrado. todo los creditos son para REYBEL17 Suscribanse a su Canal de youtube Gracias por Escuchar =)
aunque no completamente al azar. Un comentario del Jefe Maestro condujo a Cortana a reinterpretar los símbolos alienígenas de la roca de Sigma Octanus IV como cartas estelares.
El NAV coordina dirigió al Pillar of Autumn a lo que el Covenant había estado buscando: Halo, un artefacto extremadamente sagrado para el Covenant. El libro termina con el Capitán Keyes mirando a través de pantallas de visualización al anillo, pidiendo a Cortana que identificara el objeto.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 quien pronto comenzó a cristalizar el planeta. Las naves del UNSC restantes estaban todas destruidas, excepto el Pillar of Autumn, con Cortana trazando un vector de salida en cumplimiento del Protocolo Cole.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 La superficie de Reach también está invadida. Los Spartans que envió John a la superficie fueron asumidos como masacrados en ella. Sin los Generadores, los Super MACs se detuvieron y fueron destruidos por el Covenant.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 El equipo de John estrelló su Pelican en la Estación Gamma, a la que estaba acoplado el UNSC Circumference, y avanzó hacia los datos de navegación. Entre la fuerza de ataque del Covenant habían Elites, los líderes militares del Covenant.Sin embargo, el Paquete Propulsor de James fue golpeado por un fragmento de Aguijoneador y explotó, enviándolo a volar sin control en el espacio. John y Linda procedieron al UNSC Circumference, donde se encontraban el Sargento Mayor Avery Junior Johnson y sus Marines, incluyendo a Wallace A. Jenkins y Bisenti, también luchando para purgar los datos. Con la ayuda de John, los Marines tuvieron éxito.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 El Covenant regresó con tropas terrestres a Reach con el objetivo de destruir los Generadores de Defensa Orbital, las únicas cosas que estaban deteniendo al Covenant. Al mismo tiempo, el UNSC se dio cuenta de que el UNSC Circumference, un Merodeador, seguía atracado en una Estación en órbita alrededor del planeta Reach justo antes de su caída y no había iniciado el Protocolo Cole.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 La Flota de Reach, con cerca de un centenar de naves y veinte Plataformas de Defensa Orbital a la mano, se enfrentó a la flota del Covenant, pero tuvo enormes pérdidas. Sin embargo, las Plataformas de Defensa Orbital lograron repeler el asalto inicial del Covenant.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Sección V: Reach La misión del UNSC Pillar of Autumn fue interrumpida cuando una enorme flota de 315 naves del Covenant entró en el Sistema Épsilon Eridani. El Capitán Keyes ordenó al UNSC Pillar of Autumn volver hacia Reach, pero el Jefe Maestro lo convenció de que los Spartans continuaran su misión para encontrar una nave del Covenant dañada, capturarla y llevarla al territorio del Covenant.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Cada Spartan disponible abordó un Crucero Ligero Clase-Halcyon especialmente equipado, conocido como el UNSC Pillar of Autumn, que estaba bajo el mando del Capitán Keyes. El UNSC Pillar of Autumn se movió hacia los bordes del sistema para hacer un salto desliespacial para comenzar la misión
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 escoger su camino a través de un campo de minas, destruir armas de cadena automatizadas, e incluso evadir el ataque aéreo de un SkyHawk, todos los cuales estaban utilizando munición real. Estos fueron autorizados por el Coronel James Ackerson, principal rival de la Dra. Halsey para la financiación del NAVSPECWAR. En una acción de venganza, Cortana se encargó que una cantidad sustancial de fondos privados del Coronel fueran enviados a un burdel y le forjaran una petición para ser asignado a servicio de primera línea.
Para ayudar a los Spartans en esta misión, una IA, Cortana, fue creada a partir del cerebro clonado de la Dra. Halsey. John fue presentado a Cortana durante una misión con fuego real para poner a prueba sus capacidades de trabajar juntos, y que se llevó a cabo de forma espectacular. Con la ayuda de Cortana, John logró dominar a un equipo completo de ODSTs.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 ordenó la ejecución de un plan secreto para capturar una nave del Covenant usando a los Spartans. La nave sería llevada a la ciudad capital del Covenant con el fin de capturar a un Profeta, uno de los líderes religiosos de los alienígenas y, a continuación, utilizarlo como moneda de cambio para negociar una tregua.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Sección IV: MJOLNIR Por el año 2552, muchas de las Colonias Interiores de la humanidad habían sido destruidas por el Covenant. En un movimiento de desesperación, la Sección Tres de la ONI ordenó la ejecución de un plan secreto para capturar una nave del Covenant usando a los Spartans. La nave sería llevada a la ciudad capital del Covenant.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Aquí se reunió con John-117, una vez más. Scaneos de la roca produjeron un conjunto de símbolos extraterrestres que no coincidían con ningún dialecto del Covenant. La Dra. Halsey concluyó que el artefacto era de una raza diferente al Covenant.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Keyes más tarde volvió a Reach, y sin querer, reveló la ubicación del planeta al Covenant a través de una Sonda Espía unida al UNSC Iroquois. Él fue interrogado por un comité de la ONI.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Los Spartans fueron capaces de neutralizar a los Mgalekgolo, se apropiaron de la roca y escaparon a la zona de aterrizaje, donde detonaron la bomba y eliminaron la presencia del Covenant en la ciudad.
Mientras los Equipos Rojo y Verde escoltaban a un grupo de civiles sobrevivientes a la zona de aterrizaje, el Equipo Azul (John, Kelly, Fred y James) entraron al museo y descubrieron dos extraterrestres enormes, los Hunters. Estaban escaneando una roca singular, y el contenido de la exploración era transmitido a una Nave de Sigilo descubierta y destruida por el Capitán Keyes.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 fueron enviados para destruir una fuerza de ocupación del Covenant en la ciudad de Côte d'Azur con una bomba nuclear. En la ciudad, se encontraron con que el Covenant había ocupado un museo y descubrieron una nueva raza llamada Huragok (llamados "Ingenieros" por los humanos).
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17 Debido a la escasez de oficiales eficaces, Jacob Keyes fue ascendido a Comandante y asumió el mando del UNSC. En 2552, anticipó el ataque del Covenant a Sigma Octanus IV gracias al trabajo del Spartan Fhajad-084. Sus acciones resultaron en la destrucción de un Destructor y dos Fragatas, con una maniobra audaz apodada la "Maniobra de Keyes". Esta victoria, sin precedentes, contra una fuerza del Covenant, le granjeó su promoción a Capitán y le ayuda a ser reconocido por todo el UNSC. Keyes y los remanentes del UNSC Iroquois permanecieron en el Sistema Sigma Octanus para tomar parte en la Batalla de Sigma Octanus IV. Sobre el terreno, las fuerzas de la Armada del UNSC se sacrificaron para salvaguardar a un pequeño grupo de sobrevivientes, por lo que los Equipos Rojo, Azul y Verde.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17incluso si esto les obligaba a saltar sin los cálculos de navegación necesarios (un "salto ciego"). Si tal salto no era posible, y si la captura era inminente, el oficial al mando debía ordenar una autodestrucción. La Inteligencia Artificial a bordo de la nave, normalmente imprescindible para la navegación y las decisiones tácticas, debía ser destruida o removida de la nave.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Para proteger la ubicación de la Tierra, el ahora Vice Almirante Cole estableció la Emergencia de Prioridad Orden 098831A-1, comúnmente conocida como el Protocolo Cole: si alguna fuerza del Covenant estaba presente, purgas selectivas de bases de datos en todas las redes con base en naves y datos planetarios debían ser activadas. Cuando las fuerzas humanas se vieran obligadas a retirarse, no deberían ejecutar un salto desliespacial en dirección a la Tierra, o cualquier centro de población importante.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Sección III: Sigma Octanus La Flota del Almirante Cole logró una victoria en Harvest, pero a un alto costo: dos tercios de sus naves fueron destruidas. A pesar de la brillantez táctica significativa por parte de los comandantes humanos, la tecnología superior del Covenant dio a este último una ventaja crucial en la guerra. Una a una, las Colonias Exteriores cayeron ante los ataques y, por el año 2536, prácticamente todas habían sido destruidas.

https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Llevándolos al Centro de Ensayo de Materiales Damascus, la Dra. Halsey presentó a los Spartans la Armadura Potenciada de Asalto MJOLNIR/Mark IV, la cual aumentó su fuerza y velocidad, ya significativa, aún más. Al regresar al UNSC Commonwealth, a John se le ocurrió la idea de usar Actividad Extra-Vehicular y abordar la nave Covenant, y destruirla utilizando un Arma Nuclear Táctica HAVOK puesta en un Pelican. Sólo tres Spartans (John, Sam y Kelly) lograron abordar la nave. Se abrieron camino a través de la tripulación, compuesta de Kig-Yar, y lograron alcanzar un reactor, pero la armadura de Sam fue penetrada y él se vio obligado a quedarse atrás y morir en la exposición al vacío. John y Kelly escaparon de la destrucción de la nave.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17En respuesta a la emergencia por el Covenant, la graduación de los Spartans se produjo antes de lo previsto, mientras que el Jefe Mendez prosiguió a entrenar la próxima clase de Spartans, antes de eso dio a John algunos consejos y le devolvió la moneda que la Dra. Halsey le había dado años atrás. La Dra. Halsey llevó a los Spartans a Chi Ceti IV para comenzar el Proyecto: MJOLNIR. Al llegar al sistema, el UNSC Commonwealth, la Fragata que llevaba a los Spartans, fue atacada por la nave Covenant Unrelenting. El UNSC Commonwealth combatió a la nave y fue capaz de dejarla temporalmente fuera de combate, pero con poco daño significativo.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17El 3 de Febrero de 2525, sucedió el primer contacto con una alianza de razas alienígenas autonombradas como el Covenant. Con una única nave de guerra, el Covenant exterminó a toda la población de la superficie de la Colonia Exterior Harvest. Tres naves de guerra del UNSC: el Destructor CMA Heracles y las Fragatas CMA Arabia y CMA Vostok, fueron enviadas a investigar este hecho, iniciar primeramente los protocolos de batalla, tratar de hacer contacto, interceptar a la nave Covenant en una batalla, y regresar. Sólo el UNSC Heracles se las arregló para volver a Reach, después de haber sido gravemente dañado. En Diciembre del mismo año, el UNSC movilizó una enorme flota bajo el mando del famoso héroe de guerra, el Vice Almirante Preston Jeremiah Cole, con órdenes de recuperar Harvest y detener el avance del Covenant.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Después de regresar a Reach, los Spartans demostraron rápidamente que los aumentos superaban todas las expectativas, su cohesión en la batalla era increíble. Los Spartans fueron entonces comisionados con la orden de capturar al Coronel Robert Watts, líder Insurreccionista en el Cinturón de Asteroides de Eridanus. John dirigió a un pequeño equipo formado por Samuel-034, Linda-058, Kelly-087 y Frederic-104, que logró infiltrarse en la base de asteroides de los Insurreccionistas y capturar a Watts. John fue herido durante esta misión y, posteriormente, fue condecorado con el Corazón Púrpura.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Cuando los Spartans cumplieron los catorce años, experimentaron unas mejoras biológicas intensas, tales como el aumento de su fuerza muscular al triple, una disminución drástica en los tiempos de reacción de sus reflejos, el endurecimiento de sus huesos hasta hacerlos prácticamente indestructibles, el aumento en el flujo de sangre a los ojos para que casi pudieran ver en la oscuridad, y otras diversas mejoras. Sin embargo, de los 75 Spartans, menos de la mitad quedaron aptos para el combate, el resto murió durante las operaciones o fueron horriblemente incapacitados por el proceso de aumento. Mientras se recuperaba de la operación en el UNSC Atlas, John tuvo una pelea con un grupo de Soldados de Choque de Descenso Orbital, matando a dos de ellos con facilidad. La pronta llegada del Jefe Mendez llevó a John a sospechar que el incidente pudo haber sido arreglado.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17La trama prosigue al mostrar en detalle el adoctrinamiento y el brutal régimen de entrenamiento al que John y sus compañeros Spartans son sometidos. El Suboficial Jefe Señor Franklin Mendez entrenaba a los Spartans, mostrándoles las muchas virtudes necesarias que un soldado debe poseer (por ejemplo, el valor, el trabajo en equipo, las habilidades, etc.), mientras que la IA Déjà les enseñaba la historia, las matemáticas y la física. Después de una audaz misión de entrenamiento en las selvas de Reach, donde los jóvenes Spartans se reagruparon y escaparon juntos con los pedazos de un mapa y robaron una nave de vuelta a la base, John se convirtió en jefe de la escuadra de los restantes.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17El protagonista de La Caída de Reach es el Jefe Maestro, del cual se detalla su reclutamiento y formación, mientras se introducen otros personajes que serán trascendentes en la historia. La Doctora Catherine Halsey, creadora del Proyecto SPARTAN-II es presentada en el libro junto con Jacob Keyes, cuando aún es Teniente; aunque al final de la novela éste ha sido ascendido a Capitán. Franklin Mendez es el instructor físico de los spartans, mientras que la entidad de inteligencia artificial llamada Déjà les enseña historia y estrategia militar. Cortana, la entidad de Inteligencia artificial que acompaña al Jefe Maestro en gran parte de la serie también está presente como ayudante de la Dra. Halsey en la preparación de las misiones de los spartans.
https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Sintiéndose reprimidas por el régimen autoritario del UNSC, algunas colonias se rebelan. Por temor a que los rebeldes desintegren el Consejo de Seguridad, los altos mandos militares aprueban el Proyecto SPARTAN-II; un escuadrón secreto de súper soldados para reprimir discretamente la rebelión.

Batman: Arkham Asylum (aka A Serious House on Serious Earth) - Written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dave McKean. Grant wants a critical reappraisal of their iconic comic, what do you think? Jan Švankmajer - Grant cited this pioneering Czech filmmaker and avant garde artist, especially his work with stop-motion and puppetry, as one of the principal inspirations for Arkham Asylum. Among Svankmajer's best known works are Conspirators of Pleasure and Alice. Animal Man - The Grant Morrison run began in 1988 with penciller Chas Truog and covers by Brian Bolland and ran until issue #26. This is the series where Morrison first popularly explored concepts that have defined their work since: questioning the nature of reality, writing so-called ‘metafiction,' and more. Hyperobjects - As defined by Timothy Morton: “Hyperobjects are objects which have a vitality to them but you can't touch them, like race or class, or climate change. Their effects may be experienced even if they cannot be necessarily touched.” Steve de Souza's interview in the Guardian about filming Street Fighter with a “coked out of his mind” Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Last year on Words About Books we got on the Halo Infinite coattails by talking about Halo: The Fall of Reach. This year there's a Paramont+ Halo show so WE'RE BACK BAYBAY!This week on Words About Books Nate reads Halo: First Strike and it becomes very apparent that Ben doesn't get the fundamental underlying concept of early Halo. Let me make it easy for you: humans good, aliens bad. That's it. It's pretty straight forward. They keep killing our planets and Master Chief has to stop them and maybe learn to care about humanity along the way. It's called CHARACTER GROWTH, BEN! No, he WON'T learn to care about alien-life or their hopes and dreams. Now stop thinking about it and shoot 'em all! It's not that hard, BEN.Anyway Master Chief blows up a bunch of persons, places, AND things and punches a lot of aliens to death like a super Chad boss man. Sgt. Johnson is around being a cool dude. Then the book gets retconned out of existence. Stick around until the end for the Halo: First Strike speedrun! Should be a good one!Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WABPod)

Nate has another video game book for Ben, just in time for Halo Infinite! This time we go back to the distant year of 2001, a month before Halo: Combat Evolved was set to change the video game landscape. That's right! Today Nate discusses Halo: The Fall of Reach. This is the definitive* story of The Master Chief's origin, in which he single-handedly saves Reach from being destroyed and they lived happily ever after. We answered many questions this episode including: how hard does The Master Chief punch? How attached was he to his parents? Should you attempt to pick a fight with Master Chief at the gym? How hard will Master Chief kill you if you pick a fight with him at the gym? If you kidnap a child at age 6 and he's grateful for it, is it really even kidnapping? And the most important question of all: will Ben admit he is interested in Halo on any level? Tune in to find out!

Tom Salta has decades of experience composing music for video games, including Killer Instinct Season 3, Halo The Fall of Reach , Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and dozens of other scores. Recently he embarked on a new project to share the expertise he's gained over the years with his Masterclass series of courses that explore the challenges of writing music for games. He says it's his way of giving back and helping aspiring game composers. Tom says the inspiration for his Masterclass series was to create a way for composers to have access to the same high-quality learning sessions that are ofered at conferences like Game SoundCon and the Game Developers' Conference without the need to travel. When asked why he'd reveal all his hard-won secrets of success, Tom says, "better composers make the game music community a better place for all."

Our next guest is one of my favorite composers in the video game world. This ASCAP winning and MTV VMA nominated composer has received widespread industry acclaim for his world-class produced hybrid scores featured in film, television and video games such as Machine Games' WOLFENSTEIN : Youngblood & Cyberpilot, Microsoft's iconic HALO series (G.A.N.G. Best Original Soundtrack Award), Ubisoft's PRINCE OF PERSIA: The Forgotten Sands and RED STEEL (IGN Award for Best Original Score), Tom Clancy's GHOST RECON and H.A.W.X series, as well as the epic theme music for the record-breaking online multiplayer game PLAYERUNKNOWN's BATTLEGROUNDS, which has sold in excess of 50 million units with over 400 million players. His long-time collaborations with 343 Industries and Microsoft Studios include the re-imagined soundtracks to HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary and HALO 2: Anniversary, as well as composing the original scores for HALO: Spartan Assault and HALO: Spartan Strike (the first HALO video game to be released on Apple devices). Additionally, he returned to the beloved sci-fi franchise to score the animated series, HALO: The Fall of Reach, adapted from the best-selling novel and produced by the award-winning animation studio Sequence. His third solo outing in the iconic HALO universe, he also composed, arranged and produced the first original pop song in the franchise's history, “Take This Life”, featured exclusively on HALO: The Fall of Reach soundtrack. Prior to his composing career, this composer toured with and worked on releases by a diverse array of popular recording artists. After several years of touring, he became increasingly immersed in studio work, producing, remixing and songwriting. Recording under the artist name “Atlas Plug,” he released the critically acclaimed electronic / orchestral music album “2 Days or Die” which quickly caught the attention of leading music supervisors. His album introduced a new hybrid sound to the visual entertainment industry at large, garnering high-profile placements on numerous television shows, international commercials and movie trailers, simultaneously launching his music career in video games, which he continues to embrace as a cutting-edge and powerful musical voice in modern scoring. He also has a new masterclass available on his website teaching you the fundamentals of videogame scoring! The composer is...

Is Cortana an alien relic (spoilers, she is not)? Not only will these questions be answered, but the guys will also discuss the disconnect between the larger story and Halo Reach the game. This episode will be the first of the Halo review series, which will include some of the novels more closely related to the game series.

Okay, so we cover most of what you expect on this one and we also throw in a little investor meeting gone wrong at the end. Something important that we said we'd get back to but forgot is that we're starting a HalfGen Book of the Month Club. I realize it is late notice but this month's book is "Halo: The Fall of Reach" and you should totally read it. Ross and I are going to do a bonuscast at some point where we talk about the book so keep an eye out for that in April. http://halfgen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/HalfGen-Podcast-Episode-42.mp3 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/halfgen-podcast/support
