Subject: So this is basicly Halo 4?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Halo Reach is to Halo 4 as Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is to Star Wars 4.

Its a prequel, one I was hoping for.

I like pies.

Its before Halo CE but is like a Halo 4 (released 3 years after the last Halo and new multiplayer)

  • 06.01.2009 6:36 PM PDT

More like Halo 0 than Halo 4.
Takes place before Halo 1

its a prequel not a sequel

i believe this is not a prequel but infact set after halo 3 and bungie wouldnt of called it halo 4 for suspense and the fact itd look like -blam!- if bungie keeps making halo games and just giving them numbers the only next one they number i imagine would be 7. in the book 'first strike' we read about how the covernant didnt glass the whole of reach and only the poles because of the forerunner arterfact and we see some of the blackened forests described in the book from some of the original glassing that happened when reach fell so i believe that this is set after halo 3 on reach where the humans have colinized the world once more and to explain spartans being there and their numbers going so high do we not remember dr hasley gapping off with kelly also in 'first strike' so this could illude to the fact dr hasley continued to project elsewere and made sparts III's? i would also like to point out that when we see reach there are no visible orbital MAC guns which was the primary defense in the 'fall of reach' book. also the spartan number 259 is neither freds nor kellys which are the only other two spartans that would lead a team and would contact highcom other than the master chief and not being the masterchiefs voice for numba also suggests it being after halo 3 as he is floating sumwea in space

If you guys recieve this message, you are all in luck. Halo Reach is a FPS that takes place on a sparten training camp. Later in the game, ther are sights of a covenant attack on a command post, So basically, this game is the first real battle against the covenant. If anyone has any questions, please reply.....

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Not at all. This is more like a prequel to the Halo series altogether. Halo 4 will be the continuation of the Chief's story.

Well this is about the battle for Reach, I hope there is a new trilogy for it.

I'm going to cry if its not an FPS.

Squad based always works better in 3rd person.

I'm just assuming it's a squad based game, seeing as how it's probably the main reason they're making it Reach.



WRONG. Republic commando was an incredible game.

It is slowly becoming Star wars telling the story backwards to build suspense.

my hunch is that this guy is right and that it is fact a game that takes place in the future, post Halo 3. The two points that might contradict this are that the dude in the trailer mentioned that Spartans (plural) are on their way or whatever. The Master Chief is presumably the only one left, although there could have been more still alive. And the opening sentence "From the beginning, you know the end" that leads to believe its a prequel, but it could mean something else, you never know. I guess I think that it can't be a prequel, because it would be about a battle that we know the outcome of, and that is failure... who would make a game where the user fails their mission? Its gotta be a sequel that takes place in the distant future, where there is a recolonization of Reach by humans and it is being overrun by a new enemy of some kind or another. We shall see

You could call this halo 4, but it accualy could be a triligy in and of itself. No one will know! Untill Bungie gives their next weekly update that is...

This is a seperate game, it has nothing to do with Halos trilogy.

Not exactly halo 4. It's more like Halo 0.5 (Halo Wars being Halo 0, Reach is 0.5 Halo CE is 1, 2 is 2, ODST is 2.01 (Regarding the fact that it takes place in a space rupture that happened in the very beginning of Halo 2) and H3 is 3.

Hope this answers your question

hmmm the background just changed

  • 06.01.2009 6:58 PM PDT

i'm so icy.

It's more like Halo .5

  • 06.01.2009 6:59 PM PDT

7even is Darker

My guess: it's going to take place from spartans other than freds group on reach during the attack, the events will happen throughout the time period of the games and towards the end the chief will crash land.

  • 06.01.2009 6:59 PM PDT

i would also like to point out that if you take a look at the header of this page you can clrearly see the arbiter or another elite standing with the spartans and/or marines if im not mistaken if it was a prequel that wouldnt be the case as he would be trying to blow them up not standing beside them

  • 06.01.2009 7:00 PM PDT
