Halo: Reach Live Action Video Compels You To 'Remember'

Microsoft continues its tactic of using live-action short films to promote the Halo brand. For Halo: Reach a new series has been developed, titled "Remember Reach." The video features groups of people as they discuss their uncertain future on a planet they don't yet know is doomed.

Additionally, the viral site RememberReach.com houses a robotic-arm -- typically used in the development of motor vehicles -- plotting 54,000 points via user-generated algorithms to sculpt Reach's Noble Team out of light. As users register on the site via Facebook, it will signal the bot to add a new light point to the sculpture. Halo: Reach launches on September 14 for the Xbox 360. For more coverage, make sure to read our preview of the single-player campaign.

Felt like a BSG out-take. I like how there was some subtlety to it. I also love how they keep this stuff on the side and keep the games relatively pure experiences.

They should do training montages or something, jesus. I could give 2 shits about some girl letting a balloon go, how can I be emotionally involved if you aren't given me anything to attach myself to.

I have played all the Halo's, and I do remember reach.. but I'm about to forget.

I always assumed that most of humanity was busy fighting the Covenant. Guess these folks still have time to take business trips, complain about being unemployed, and take their kids to balloon shoppes.

What I remember is a previous movie that made much better use of a child with a red balloon.

(But as long as they didn't put the word 'unobtainium' in their actual script they're doing okay.)
