On the morning of November | Reynolds was present during the [[Battle of Earth]]. On the morning of November 17th, [[2552]], Reynolds and [[Bravo Team|his squad]] of Marines were deployed to the jungles near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] as part of the UNSC force tasked with retrieving [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]], who had crash-landed in the area after exiting the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] containing the [[Prophet of Truth]]. While his team was searching for John-117, he alerted [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] to the fact that there was [[Covenant]] activity nearby. However, doing so gave away his position and he and his squad immediately came under attack by a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] dropship and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]], and all of Bravo, except for him, were killed. | ||
Reynolds was | Reynolds was soon captured by a [[Jiralhanae Captain]]. The Covenant soldier held him atop a log bridge and demanded the location of the UNSC base [[Crow's Nest]], but Reynolds' only response was "kiss my ass." Just as the Jiralhanae was about to kill him, John-117's squad intervened and killed the alien. Reynolds then jumped off the bridge, grabbed a nearby [[MA5C assault rifle|assault rifle]] and informed the Spartan of his situation. Reynolds then joined the Spartan in his mission to rendezvous with Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]] at the extraction point by the river. Johnson's [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] and it's escort were both shot down by Covenant [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]]. Reynolds and the Master Chief continued through the jungle and saved Johnson, who had been captured by the Covenant. Killing all Covenant present, including a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]], the UNSC forces were able to return to Crow's Nest.<ref name="sierra"/> | ||
Upon returning to Crow's Nest, the UNSC forces soon found out that they had been discovered by the Covenant, and were going to be attacked. Knowing that the base would likely be overrun, the Marines, led by Commander [[Miranda Keyes]], begun to prepare a [[Unidentified UNSC bomb|massive bomb]] intended to be detonated to deny the Covenant the base. Reynolds was one of the Marines tasked with the wiring of the bomb.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Crow's Nest (level)|Crow's Nest]]''</ref> | |||

Rallying the surviving Marines in the area, Reynolds destroyed a security camera that may lead surviving Covenant forces to them. Rendezvousing with John-117 once again, Reynolds ordered any of his men that could still walk to take the surviving [[Warthog|Warthogs]] in the motor pool out of the base. They aided a group of Marines who were under attack by Covenant scouts near the base entrance and allowed them to mount up. Reynolds tried to reach Commander Keyes but was unable to as the COMs had been scrambled by the destruction of Crows Nest.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Tsavo Highway (level)|Tsavo Highway]]''</ref> | ||
Reynolds | Reynolds soon received a distress call from Gunnery Sergeant [[Stacker]], who had been leading a convoy intended to bring supplies to the beleaguered UNSC forces in Voi. The convoy was unfortunately strafed by Banshees and while pinned down, a large Covenant ground force attacked them. Fortunately, Reynolds and John-117 were nearby and were able to clear out the Covenant presence. The UNSC force continued onward, but were forced to leave their vehicles shortly after as part of the highway had been destroyed. Continuing on foot, Reynolds and his men freed up another squad of Marines under attack. After holding off many waves of attacking Covenant troops, including a [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] tank, several resupply Pelicans moved in, providing more Warthogs and troops. Mobilizing once again, the UNSC forces punched through a huge Covenant vehicular force and breach the final Covenant defensive lines barricading the way into Voi. | ||

Reynolds and his platoon pushed into Voi, entering the [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]], which had mostly fallen to the Covenant by this point. Their objective was to destroy all Covenant Anti Air batteries that were preventing [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]]'s [[UNSC Home Fleet|ships]] from engaging the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. They pushed through the first area of the facility, catching many Covenant troops off-guard. They then entered the first lake bed, where a single [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery|AA Wraith]] was located. Succeeding in destroying the Covenant armor, Reynold and his men continued through the facility, meeting with a group of Marines with [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launchers]] and [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] ATVs, who were preparing to assault the next lake bed, where more AA was located. After a huge battle, which saw the UNSC forces destroy many Covenant vehicles, as well [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]], Reynolds and his men emerged victorious.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> | |||
Later, when the [[Flood]]-controlled [[Indulgence of Conviction|battlecruiser]] crashed in the area, Reynolds was one of the few Marines who survived the onslaught of the parasitic creatures. He was ultimately able to escape from the city before it was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the newly-arrived [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution]]. After the Flood were contained, the [[UNSC]] forces regrouped up on the Sangheili [[Assault Carrier|Carrier]], ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' where [[Terrence Hood|Admiral Hood]] and [[Fleet Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] discussed an assault on Covenant forces through [[The Portal|the Portal]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> | |||
== | ===Battle of Installation 00=== | ||
During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], Reynolds, Stacker and [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] organized a makeshift [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] armored unit from the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' for an assault on [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. He helped Sergeant Stacker and [[John-117]] lead a platoon of [[M808 Scorpion MBT]]s against a battalion-sized Covenant armored force, along with a Scarab outside of the Cartographer building. The UNSC were successful in destroying all Covenant forces and allowing SPARTAN John-117 and a small strike force to proceed into the complex.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref> | |||
Reynolds | Later in the battle, Reynolds was part of an strike force with the goal of deactivating three of the barrier towers providing shielding for the Citadel in which the Prophet of Truth had taken refuge and planned to activate the Halo rings from. He was part of the force that went with John-117 to neutralize the first tower. The strike force was successful in their mission, and by the end of the battle, the Prophet of Truth was dead and the Covenant was effectively destroyed.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> | ||
Reynolds' picture can be seen on the [[Voi Memorial]], implying that he may have been [[killed in action]]. However, he also appears as one of the marines participating in the 21-gun salute. | |||

* | *Reynolds is voiced by Hollywood actor [[Nathan Fillion]], best known for his role in the canceled Fox TV series ''Firefly'' and its spin-off feature film ''Serenity''. Both Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk, who also starred in ''Firefly'' and ''Serenity'', voiced UNSC Marines in ''Halo 3''. Incidentally, Fillion's ''Firefly/Serenity'' character's last name was also Reynolds. The same character was also a Sergeant in the Unification War. Fillion also voices Gunnery Sergeant [[Edward Buck]] in ''Halo 3: ODST'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. | ||
*Reynolds makes another appearance in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' during most of the missions with Marine allies. Notably this time, he is able to also don a standard-issue helmet, rather than the utility cover. Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds is one of the few marines encountered in ''Halo 3'' who canonically appears in ''Halo 3: ODST''. Others like Dubbo and Stacker are also encountered in ''ODST'' but their appearances are likely just easter eggs or simple mistakes since they were actually on route to Installation 05 during the time of the game. | |||
*He often uses [[Stacker]]'s lines, such as "You remember me, from New Mombasa?", even though he was not present in ''[[Halo 2]]'', when John-117 was in New Mombasa. | |||
*It is possible for the player to just let the Brute kill Reynolds and not intervene. The Brute will punch him in the face, crack his spine and throw him off the bridge and onto the ground below. However, he will appear in the following levels regardless, similar to Sergeant Johnson's "immortality" in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. | *It is possible for the player to just let the Brute kill Reynolds and not intervene.

*After Reynolds is rescued, he runs unarmed over to a rock where an [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5C]] conveniently lies and arms himself. It is possible (if you have a different weapon) to run over, swap the MA5C leaning on the rock for something else, and watch Reynolds take an MA5C out of nowhere. Or, if you're low on ammo for your Assault Rifle, you could take it all and he would still grab one from thin air. | *After Reynolds is rescued, he runs unarmed over to a rock where an [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5C]] conveniently lies and arms himself.

*If Reynolds' body appears as a standard marine with a helmet, a player can shoot the helmet off, making it turn into a sergeant's cap. This is common on Crow's Nest. | |||
