In Response To: Re: Thoughts on Reach (4K words) (gspawn)


: Disagree here.

: The main theme in Reach is futility. So like the Pelican mission- everything
: you do on that mission is entirely futile. Even if you get these people
: into Orbit, the Covenant's just going to use their ship's hull to help
: decorate the atmosphere.

: But that's the point. You're making this stand, even knowing you've already
: failed, because it's just something you have to do. The orders really
: don't make any sense, and it really is just a series of "go here do
: this" missions. But that's all Noble 6's life is at that point,
: scrabbling for survival and following orders along the way. I think that's
: actaully pretty powerful.

This basically sums up how I feel about the plot. For the most part it works when considering the larger perspective of everything unfolding on Reach during the invasion. It is supposed to be sheer chaos with a growing sense of urgency and doom. Mission objectives would be constantly changing based on up-to-date intel. Events may seem a bit disjointed at times but they are struggling to keep up and stave off a well coordinated attack by the Covenant. In the end it all proves futile, yet Noble Team's sacrifice was not in vain.
