If this is based on reach, doesn't that mean we're ultimately suppose to lsoe this battle?
But the point is, what video games let you lose? Wha...?

I guess who you play as could accomplish their mission, but it's sort of weird.

And also, who are the 5 characters in shadow on the halo: reach banner? (above)

Your goal could be to escape Reach. It's possible that some people could have made it away alive.

Nope, I think at the end of Halo 3, Master Chief goes back in time to before the destruction of Reach.

In Halo: Reach his goal will be to alter the time stream by preventing its destruction.

BOOK SPOILERS!!!!

Some spartans escaped Reach. I think it was Fred, Kelly, Linda, and Will, along with an ODST, Halsey, a military officer and a pilot.

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

The problem is Ghosts of Onyx. Its very convoluted. Some escape reach, and then all that stuff happens with Ghosts of Onyx, if I remember correctly.

Technically speaking, the ODST, the ONI officer and the pilot are not on Reach. They and Chief are the only survivors of "Alpha" Halo's destruction.


And yes, ultimately the story of Reach is tragic and ends with 99.9% of the planet incinerated... but perhaps they intend to turn that 1% that fueled the story for First Strike into a full-fledged game? I wouldn't mind if they took First Strike and made it into a game. One of my favourite Halo books (between it and Ghosts of Onyx).


As for going back in time... well, I'm skeptical. Although it might make som sense, given that half of the Forward Unto Dawn broke off and got through the portal, yet the other half went through and... landed in a completely remote part of space. Perhaps the combination of events caused some sort of time distortion effect.


But I doubt it. I bet that they're putting Chief down on the shelf for a while. Give Fred, Kelly, Will, Anton, (I suppose Linda), and every other Spartan a shot.

Actually, Chief was at that battle, so it could be an option to play his mission. Only up to two-person, though, since it was only John and Linda on that mission that ended up surviving (I think there was a spartan named Joshua or Jacob there).
