You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

So yeah. I'm sure half of the internet by now has heard that Halo: Reach was officially announced not too long ago. Many of us who noticed the Halo: Reach forum saw this coming. Anyway. Halo 3: ODST is supposedly shipping with a multiplayer beta of Halo: Reach. Was this the huge, exciting unannounced multilayer add on Bungie was keeping zip on? I certainly think so. 'Cause hell. It's certainly got me excited.

So theories?

My theory is..obviously, that the setting is either before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. But, I also don't want to totally disclose the possibility of it being in the future? 'Member that planet the Chief was drifting towards in the secret ending of Halo 3? What if it's not Onyx? WHAT IF IT'S REACH?!?!?! OH...MAI....GAWD!!! I mean...I'm really curious as to how the story will play out on FUTURE Reach...considering it was glassed. But hey. Bungie has their ways, I'm sure. I have a feeling that the Flood is going to be a huge part in this next game. That's only if it's a future storyline. But who knows. it could even be a spin-off story. But multiplayer beta? I don't think this is just some spin-off.

Now for the MULTIPLAYER!!! OMG! I heard that and practically jumped out my window. So yeah. What's gonna be in it?!?! Obvious things like a few new maps, some new weapons, vehicles, the basics. But I'm really interested in the armor customization. I really hope Bungie ups the anty (dunno if that's how it's spelled) with armor customization. Maybe customizable visors and secondary colors, for starters? It would really be cool if they added a whole slew of new options. 'Cause now I'll REALLY feel like a unique Spartan or Elite in matchmaking.

But that's it from me I think. I'm obviously going to respond to any new ideas people or have or ideas I haven't touched upon. And I love good ideas. SO PLEASE SHARE! I can't contain the excitement!!!!!!

Well if you've red the books you know that really there aren't a lot of Spartans left around. Unless they did train a new batch. And if it is the future the Covenant isn't really working out too well. But like you said Bungie has their ways. I would love to be fighting along side Elites again against the left over Brutes and hopefully Prophets. I however have my money on it being a prequel. But then again, no one has ever heard of a Spartan 259 before so who knows.

I'm delicious.

The rift at the end of H3 somehow lands chief on Reach way back when?

Maybe it's a FPSMMO on the 360 ONLY!!! lol That would be kinda cool, and you would DEFINITELY get a LOT of customization options. :)

Why would the game take place on a planet that was glassed and abandoned? Nothing would happen and it would be the epic fail of a game. My guess it takes place before Halo CE.
