Time travel posts on HBO are always met with scorn on my part over at HBO, but I'll play nice. ;) In fact, it's something of a joke now. People make time travel commentary just to rile me up. =)
Anyhow, there's a number of possible explanations for why 343 Guilty Spark believes the Master Chief is the same Reclaimer that activated Halo long ago. However, as I recall, 343 calls at least one other human in The Flood "Reclaimer" as well. Perhaps, then, there's reason to assume that 343 GS is simply making a mistake?
Nah, that's too easy.
Also in the novels is a Bungie convention- Deja Vu. As Master Chief does things on Halo, such as uses the light panels to activate the light bridge or access the Control Room, he's doing things he remembers- but he doesn't know why he remembers them. This would suggest that, as 343 asserts, the Chief has been there before, or at least, has the memories of being there...
I'll leave this thread with a line from the end of Marathon Infinity:
[color="green"]But you were dead a thousand times, hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern.
Yours to destroy and rebuilt.[/color]
