Halo Reach ... for the last time, is about the first confrontation with the covenant. And yes. this is a PREQUEL.


you say that yet there is basically no suitable evidence to back it up whereas theres more then enough to back up that fact that its a sequal and once again look at the header there is an ELITE which is part of the COVENANT standing beside human forces the wouldnt make sense if it was a prequel

i belive it is a prequel because their are more than one spartan but it could basicly be halo 4 and more spartans are trained, after getting the signal from Cortana, to retrive Spartan-117 the Master Cheif. The fact of it being halo 4 is highly unlikely because halo was supposed to be one main trillogy. after becoming a fps when the plan for an RPG failed.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Obviously not, because it's about the Fall of Reach, which takes place August 2552. The Covenant started attacking 26 years earlier, on Harvest. The covenant only just discovered reach. Although it is still a prequel.

No, it's Halo -1

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

I thought Gearbox was making Halo 4.

I have all the Halo games(From 1 to ODST).I just don't know how to link my gamertag.

Well it that place during "Halo:Fall of Reach" so it's before Halo 1,for all we know it could be like Team Fortess,just a multiplayer game,with class and everything,hope not.

This is a guess, but I think the people in the picture above may be Fred, Sam, Kelly, Linda, and of course, John, as they are the most well known spartans in the novel. Just a guess.

Probably. Great way to get around the fact they said they would not make Halo 4: Drop the 4.

By inside the trilogy, do you mean the Halo universe at all, or just the main trilogy? Either way, this isn't Halo 4, the events of Reach were detailed in The Fall of Reach, back in 2001. Or was it 2002? Can't remember.

It would be Will, not Sam. Same died on a Covenant cruiser when he had to sacifice himself wen he was wounded by plasma fire.

From what I've heard so far about Halo: Reach (next to nothing), it seems as though this is going to be Halo 4, with less 4 in the title.

First of all there is no 3 in the title, like Halo 3: ODST. Which means that it is probably not just another expansion pack to Halo 3.

Plus the fact that they are going to have a Multiplayer Beta means that there is going to be a whole new multiplayer. Unless of course Bungie is just testing new maps, but I doubt that.

So Bungie, Is this in fact Halo 4?


No... halo 3 would be more like halo 4 seeing as halo reach is a prequel.

  • 06.01.2009 7:36 PM PDT

Reachhhhhhhh

Well guys, think about the real timeline of the release date of this Reach thing. If it is a whole new Halo, then why would the Beta already be complete by this Fall. It has to be something a little less than a complete game. There is a possibility that they have been secretly working on this for a while, but if Bungie tells us everything as soon as it happens, then this is going to probably just going to be more campaign or something.

Do you understand?

The Battle of Reach takes place about 10 minutes before Halo 1. So quit arguing about it, and read the books already.
Unfortunately, i only read good books.

I was in no way shape or form referring to you. I was referring to the people that come in here and argue about things they know nothing about ;)

Chronologically i think this how the halo games go:
Halo Wars, Reach, H1 , H2 and ODST, and H3

I think it would actually be:

Halo: Reach, Halo Wars, Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 3

In The Fall of Reach, they meet the Covenant for the first time. While in Halo Wars, it starts off fighting the covenant.

OK I just looked it up on Wikipedia, The Fall of Reach takes starts in 2517, while Halo Wars takes place around 2531. So Halo: Reach is before Halo Wars
Iam sorry but you are wrong, The Battle of Reach happened hours before the Battle for Installation 04. Halo WArs was the very first conflict with the Covenant 20 years before the Halo conflict. Its really Halo Wars, Reach, H1, H2, H3:ODST, H3

Don't argue with me, we can settle this in a duel.

Not everyone wants to read the books. I for one wants to play a game with no care of what the F*** happened before the game. some just want mulitplayer. before you go around telling people to go read the books think, "Do they even play Campaign?"

Final Fantasy XIII? What kind of crap is that?

Fix'd.
On topic though, if this game is supposed to be a prequel, then what will happen to the energy shields? Will it be like ODST, but with a Spartan in regards to the health system?
