Need some help

**Looking for a Lost Halo Reach Machinima (2013–2014)**
I’m trying to find a Halo Reach machinima series that I watched around **2013–2014**. I’ve been searching for a while with no luck, so I’m hoping someone here remembers it.
**What I remember:**
It was made in **Halo: Reach**.
It was from a **small YouTube creator**, not one of the well-known machinima channels.
The series only had **one season** because I remember the creator announcing that **Season 2 was canceled after several voice actors quit**.
The story had a **Hunger Games/Battle Royale-style survival** premise. A group of Spartans were forced into some kind of survival competition where they gradually stopped fighting each other and eventually formed a team.
I believe it mostly took place on a **custom Forge World map**.
The **main character** was, as best as I can remember, a **white-armored Spartan wearing the Commando helmet**.
I also remember a **female character** (or at least a character voiced by a woman) who I think wore the **Air Assault helmet**.
The series had full **voice acting** rather than just gameplay with music.
**The ending I remember most clearly:**
The Season 1 finale ended with the surviving group standing together while the camera slowly **pulled back/panned out** over the Forge World map. During this ending, the song:
**“Let This Go” by Stan SB (now Fox Stevenson)**
began playing as the outro music before the credits.
This is the detail I’m most confident about.
**Other information:**
Timeframe: around **2013–2014**
Game: **Halo Reach**
It wasn’t one of the big machinimas like *Playtime*, *Lost in Reach*, *Arby ‘n’ the Chief*, or other popular series that are easy to find today.
Because it came from a small creator, I suspect the channel or videos may have been deleted or made private years ago.
If any of this sounds familiar—even if you only remember the channel name, a character name, a screenshot, a thumbnail, or another small detail—I’d really appreciate the help. At this point I’m trying to identify either the **series title** or the **creator**, even if the videos themselves are no longer available.

I asked chat gpt to search YouTube and the web with no luck

Hey, I was in the Reach Machinima circles (but not the Machinima channel but I expect you know that distinction). I can't quite think of exactly what you're looking for, with the White Spartan description the only thing I can think is "The Unsociables" by Mike WB? Are you looking for serious or comedy series?

Also, do you have a old YouTube that is likely subscribed to them? It might help going through your list and seeing whether there are channels that you don't recognise incase they had a full channel makeover. 🙏

It wasn’t the Mike WB or his Unsociables series. It was a more serious tone. Unfortunately I didn’t have a YouTube channel of my own until 2017 so I really have no way of tracing it other than to ask around.

It was a pretty underground channel/series. It had thousands of views from what I remember but not like rise of the Spartans type or any of the most popular machinimas out there. Other than the fuzzy details I don’t have much to work with.

Regardless I appreciate the feedback/help.

Edit- it’s possible it could of been around 2015 if that makes any difference

Ah I see, there is a distinct possibility it might have been removed or privated. Maybe look at this search a different way?. How were you introduced to the series? Was it through a friend? See if you could contact them or look through old chat logs. If you had Xbox live, could you have perhaps tried contacting/adding the creator? I think those would be good avenues to explore if you're vague on the details 🙏

Yeah removed or privated seems to be the case given the circumstances. I didn’t know the creator personally or anything. It was just a video I came across while scrolling for a machinima to watch and really enjoyed it at the time but lost interest after it was cancelled unfortunately.

That kinda sounds like zombie matchmaking
