Well since everyone who has read the Halo Novels knows the story of Fall of Reach I'm guessing this game will basically end with the Pillar of Autumn abandoning Reach and heading for the first Halo. This does leave a lot of room for speculation because the game may not even necessarily be from the perspective of the Master Chief but even if it is not it seems that if Bungie follows the canon set out by the novels that no matter what happens in-game the ending has really already been set.

Of course then there is the third possibility that Bungie may do something like they did with Ghost of Onyx where you play as a different spartan and you don't really die but you are assumed dead because you lose contact with everyone else so it doesn't affect the Halo story line.

The last possibility I can think of is that it could actually be after Halo 3 and the section of the ship that went into the vortex at the end ended up floating around the planet reach which has been mostly glassed due to the Covenant. This way the adventures of the Master Chief could keep going and he could be picked up and sent back to Earth or some other story.

What is everyone else thoughts on this?

Suck it Red!

hmmm, im not sure, you might die, but that would be the worst ending ever, maybe you fly to onyx, which leads onto Bungie's next Halo game.

ISU Cyclones!

The ending would be epic if it was just the opening cutscene to Halo: CE

I doubt you die. Maybe you'll play as one of the Spartans that survive.

You have to remember this though.....

M$ owns Halo name..
M$ also said that you have not seen the last of the Master Chief.
Master Chief is not in Halo 3: ODST.

So.....to me, this says you play as him....or at least see him again

Wonder what Bungie have in store for use after Reach?

I think you play as a different Spartan and your apart of Blue team. to be honest, I don't have the slightest clue on what they are going to do. Like when Halo 2 came out and the covernant speak english

Fav. Games: Halo, Marathon, Gears of War, Guitar Hero, CoD4, Rockband, Super Smash Bros(all 3), Legend of Zelda, and alot more that isn't right off the top of my head. ^-^

It can be from the chiefs perspective..........as a kid leading up to reach.
At first he was solely doing rebel missions but then got caught in the whole covenant thing. We might actually see Chiefs face and the other spartans. =D

We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

Why are you guys assuming this game will be the only Reach game and will chronicle to the end of the battle for Reach? The battle lasts about a month.

But yes, in the end, the humans lose Reach.

Maybe we'll see him but I doubt we play as him because during the time Reach was invaded he was sent on ship to destroy a database to keep it from the covenant

Onyx blew up.

"We sleep peaceably in our beds, because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those that wish to do us harm."

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all those who threaten them."

I think of all the Spartans Kelly is the most likely, mainly because of what they could do in the end. You get kidnapped by Halsey and head to Onyx.

I would love to play the destruction of the Unyielding Hierophant.
