Halo Reach Community Montage



Kontrol Freek are the company that make FPS Freek joystick extensions.  These connect to the analog sticks on your 360 controller and make for more accurate aiming.

As a promotion, Kontrol Freek created a contest asking users of their product to send in montages made with them using the thumbsticks.  There were a lot of good entries, but the real king entry was the one they created themselves, using a mash-up of all the clips sent in to them.  The result is one of the better Halo Reach montages on the net, with tons of skill shots and great killstreaks from some top Halo Reach players.

Halo Reach Out - A Trailer Montage

This montage is a little different than most of the ones you'll see.  This Halo Reach montage takes clips from all of the Halo Reach trailers we've seen so far and makes one "super trailer" out of them.  It's really, really epic and really captures the epic feel that the fall of Reach brings on us, and all the characters in the game.

We know from the get-go that Reach will fall and that eerie atmosphere makes its way into this trailer/montage mash-up very well.

Halo Reach Shock and Awe Montage

Do you think that Halo Reach should have more gore, more violence?  Then this montage is for you.  Titled "Shock and Awe" it focuses on the pure brutality of Halo Reach.  There isn't a lot of it in the actual game itself, so if you're craving it then this montage will be good for you, since it edits out all the fluffy fun stuff.

The music in this montage is also very good, pumping up the viewer and making them excited to see the action.

Assassinations Montage

Assassinations are a new feature for the Halo franchise, with Reach being the first game to feature them.  If you think they're awesome, like I do, then you'll want to check this montage out.  It's only a minute long, but it's a minute of pure assassination fun, and that's the only thing you'll see in the video.
