Master Chief is in Reach! and magical ammo drop

Master Chief is in Halo Reach!!!!! That’s right! It’s true! Master Chief is in Reach (twice actually, though one is much harder to find… I will cover this in a later Blog entry). Pillar of Autumn has a few nice surprises in the end of the game for us.  One is in the form of DMR ammo and the other in the form of a super warrior known as Master Chief.

Both of these Easter Eggs are near the end of the level when you are protecting Keyes from an onslaught of attacking Covenant.  Go down one flight of stairs and go to the building on your left. If you go inside you will find some Health and some AR ammo. That’s all good and jolly but not what I’m here to talk about. Go back out side and go the left side of the building walk so that you are at the point where the wall goes in a little than back out. Stay on the right side with the metal sheet look. Melee about a foot away from the corner where the wall juts in and you will be rewarded with a weapons drop full of DMRs and one shotgun. Good luck with the rest.

The ammo cache is sweet but it isn’t Master Chief. Continue through defending Keyes from the Covenant. Eventually you will be able to take control of the massive MAC cannon destroy the incoming air forces and you will go to a cut scene, don’t worry you haven’t missed it yet. Hold your right thumb-stick right and wait for the cut scene to go continue. When the cut scene goes to the cargo hold keep holding it right!! You will see, without a doubt, Master Chief in a Cryo-tube. The scene is a short but very cool way to incorporate Master Chief into the Reach game. And it wasn’t cheesy at all! It was very subtle way to add him into the game.
