why is everyone except me seing this....has no one else noticed in almost every trailer that bungie releases about a halo game that each trailer has really nothing to do with the actual game or except to show what its gonna look like, and in saing that i think its halo 4 and its gonna continue after halo 3 with the mc


This kind of trailer is called a "Teaser", likewise with many Holywood movies and other huge games, a teaser simply 'teases' you and shows you a very small glimpse of whats to come. This is pretty rudimentary. Pretty much every single large action game and movie has had AT LEAST ONE teaser prior to the actual trailer debut w/ or w/out gameplay footage. Regardless, the teaser for Reach CLEARLY has a huge relation to the game lool, have you even been reading anything at all? Bnet forums are jokes.

No, a Halo prequel. I takes place right before Halo 1. If it was Halo 4, its storyline would take place after Halo 3.


Halo -1

if it is a prequel then i think alot of ppl are gonna be dissapointed we already know what happens on reach thanks to the book, for anyone who loves vidoegames we hate to lose and thats exactly whats gonna happen if the game is about the fall of reach because we would have to an that would be plain stupid

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


Should have kept researching. According to the book, (At the end, on page 282, when the Covenant are first detected approaching Reach) the date listed at the start of the chapter is August 30, 2552. The book starts in 2517 because it explains how the spartans were recruited. 35 years pass between the first chapter and the last.

So Sacx Razor is right. Halo Wars takes place during the book Fall of Reach, but the actual battle, which is when I assume Halo: Reach starts, takes place after Halo Wars.

the game isnt gonna take place during the battle of reach if it did the game would have no point its gonna happen after halo 3 and somtthing is going to be revealed to us its just the kinda thing bungie would do

  • 06.02.2009 11:17 AM PDT

I'd consider it more of a halo .5, or a halo -1.

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?

*Update*

I would just like to clear up the confusion for some of you.

Halo: Reach (supposedly and probably) takes place during the Battle of Reach. This IS NOT the first encounter with the Covenant. The first encounter with the Covenant is during the Battle of Harvest. The battle of harvest took place 20 years before Halo 1.

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


I don't think it is, but one could argue that it would be Halo 5. If your going by how many Halo games have been made so far, Halo Wars could be considered Halo 4, and Halo Reach could be considered Halo 5.

Unless you just go by Halo games made by Bungie. Then you could call it Halo 4. But personally, I won't.

Not at all 10 minutes. More like a few hours/days.

You read the books

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

It's a prequel, I trust Microsoft on this one.

(Link to proof is near the top of that post.)

Great point Kurt. It is definitely a possibility. Bungie loves to confuse us. But that is a direct image. It could definitely be a sequel.

Subject: So this is basicly Halo 4? *Update*

Technically this isn't a sequel so it can not continue in numerical order... if it did, it would have to be halo 1/2 or something stupid... and that's my useless technical answer of the day... sorry for your luck and my literal answer.

We all should just wait until information is officially released. There is plenty of evidence to support that it is a prequel, however looking at the header above, there is clearly an elite standing alongside the humans. This would have to mean that it takes place after the events of Halo 3. After the elites and humans began to work together. But, nobody can know for sure.

  • 06.04.2009 12:11 AM PDT

Look! A distraction!

I say it should be Halo -1. (or Halo 0, if people don't confuse that with the Ark...)

edit: I think that "Elite" is a Spartan... don't forget that with all their armor they tower over an average person. And he's holding a chaingun, something the Covenant would consider "unclean" and refuse to touch.

So does anyone notice that in the main image it uses that word "Falls 2010" indicating that it would be indeed the battle of reach where of course Reach fell.

QFT

In a sense, it will be Halo 4, but since it's a prequel, it would be more like Halo Pre-1... or something like that.

I am definitely counting this as the successor to Halo 3 solely because it's a brand new game released after Halo 3 was released, look at Metal Gear Solid for example, the timeline in those games stray all over the place but they are still released in a numerical order.
