I'm pretty sure the "orbital structure" was actually just a downed UNSC frigate, broken at the midsection.

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

I'm going to go with the "over hyped" trailer option until something else comes up. After all what happened with the Halo 3 trailer is happening now so history is repeating itself.

I -blam!- hate teaser trailers.

Then that's really not Reach, because one broken frigate constituting a defensive line is what would be common for an outer- or mid-colony, not an inner colony. In fact, not the second-closest inner colony.

I think, as do others, that it's really an orbital Super-MAC. It seems to me to be extremely likely.

Look for the back

I think the sales pitch at the end of the trailer was "You already know how this ends". So Im geussing that whole thing where everything is happining at once is just for art and -blam!-s.

I have to say, Bungie is really raping the dead horse at this point. This better be good.

My guess is that they only used the trailer for hype. There might have been something they just couldn't show us yet in the trailer so they most likely cut some parts out.

Jokes aside, there are a few inconsistencies, yes. But as a die hard Halo fanatic who has memorized the story more efficiently than he memorizes his studies, I would have to say this is what I've been dreaming of. I think this is what every fan of Halo has been dreaming of, ever since we read "Fall of Reach".

I have to agree. This has been a dream of mine, to be honest... if this turns out to actually be a game involving Reach. I've waited since Halo 2 for this.

I don't think we need to expect to much from the so called "inconsistencies" from the book. It's hard to say if this is happening during the book or after the book. My best guess right now is the game will focus on what happen "after" the book, and "after" the Pillar of Autumn has left.

The high spartan numbers are probably from another group of Spartan II's we have yet to learn about. It is known that additional Spartan II's were planned so is it possible after the events in the book that a new group showed up?

I still hope the game touches on the trianing of Spartans and what happen to Reach and it's importance in the Halo Universe...

A Super-Mac that just happens to be shaped just like a frigate?
And the trailer did show two other frigates coasting across the screen in the distance, along with more distant ships I couldn't identify.

I didn't get a good look at it previously- you're right, it doesn't look anything like a Super-MAC. I'm betting it's a Frigate, yea. But I still don't think that a few ships would constitute a defensive line... and even if it did, that still wouldn't be Reach. The defensive line at Reach consisted of the Super-MACs.

You guys just need to enjoy this new experience! Stop worrying, all will work out!

This has it's own brand of fun.

Forerunner Tank awesomeness will ensue

To clear somethings up there was only one wave of spartan II's because the pool of candidates was too small to train another wave. Colonel Ackerson secretly initiated the Spartan III program that eased up on some of the candidate restrictions making a bigger pool. The spartan II Kurt was put in charge of the training program on the planet onyx where they train 4 waves of Spartan III's these spartans were sent on suicide missions to my knowledge most of the fourth wave is alive at the time of the covenant assault on Earth

I don't want to argue whether or not it is reach. If it wasn't, why would the background for the webpage say "Reach", show a few covenant cruiser's bombarding the ground, and below that it say's "Falls 2010". These 3 items are enough to convince me it takes place on "Reach" during it's "Fall". Sure, it could mean it's being "released in the fall", but wouldn't it be damned clever if it meant both?

The only oddity I see is that it shows silhouettes of multiple humans standing next to the silhouette of what looks to me to be an Elite, when at this point in time they are at war.

Either it's Hype nonsense, or it's a clue to the story within the game, or I'm just stupid and it's not an elite's silhouette but actually some previously unseen wicked-huge spartan armor.

I have to go catch a bus now.

"If you can't be a good example, try your best to be a horrible warning."

Hmm... I think that it is just added for dramatic effect, and proabably nothing else. It's good to have people sifting through the trailers though, because that is how information is found. :)

Yeah we saw super-MACs in halo 2 and they dont look anything like the frigate in the trailer..im thinking its just a downed ship or something.

Use the forge, Lukem!

It'll be funny if Bungie accidently puts too many spartans in this game.
If you want intel on the battle for reach, go here .
Its funny, it states there were only 25 spartans that fought for Reach.
1. There were only 33 COMPLETE Spartans
2. Sam died
3. Kurt was kidnapped
4. Spartan teams Omega, (The 2531 version of) Red, and Gray were reported MIA before the BoR. All together they had about 9 Spartans.
5. All of those Spartans MIA put together is 11. 11 Spartans.
6. Last time I checked, 33 - 11 did NOT equal 25...

If I have left out any info, please say so, so I will update.

I got his sarcasm...one person has to implement sarcasm and then you get a pile of terrorist chipmunks crashing your party, not fun at all..

The explosions could be the UNSC nuking the planet where covenant ships troop concentrations are. Once the super macs are down nukes become fair game.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I think the theory of it being a different planet is the best hypothesis to go with. After all, the Covenant has glassed planet after planet.

  • 06.01.2009 5:12 PM PDT

One thing that everyone seems to be ignoring is they never actually say anything about the covenant being the "them", for all we know this game could be the story of the civil war that happened that led to the creation of the SPARTAN project. Also the spartans in the game could be spartan 1's and Chief and his team. Even though I think this game is going to be a game version of the fall of reach book, and the non MC bits from first strike. Maybe if we are lucky it is both books wrapped into a freaking awesome game.

  • 06.01.2009 5:19 PM PDT

Who says that the planet in the trailer is even reach?

They could go to previous battles like in halo wars before reach.
