Man, I played this for years and years after it came out, and when I say “this” I mean “this one specific level called Beachhead in the co-op mode where you just fight off waves of enemies.” Me and my best friend eventually started just calling the game “Beachhead.” Unlike other endless wave modes it’s not actually endless, and you can succeed – but the level design of Beachhead, compared to the other maps, made it very hard to do so. It took ages of becoming a well-oiled co-operative machine for us to deal with all the stuff they throw at you (particularly great is when a drop-pod of four lightning-fast, heavily-armed Elites suddenly arrives at your doorstep) and it took us ages to finally succeed. We’d still fire it up as recently as a few years ago when I’d go visit him out in the country. Ah, memories…

Did have a fun time though. Despite all the moaning. While e.g. Destiny 2 on the PC feels very nice as a shooter, the composition of enemies (and tools at your disposal) in Reach is infinitely superior and ultimately makes the thing more fun.
