Doesn't the trailer for Halo: Reach seem a bit like it's Halo:Chronicles under a new Name/Studio? Consider the facts for a mo'. Chronicles Was said to be a Movie/Game, or the Filmiest game to date. Judging from the Trailer, Which was made in an extremely cinematic-like way, this may be the case for Reach as well. Chronicles was said to delve into the "Personal aspects of warfare," and from the rather emotional diolauge in the Trailer, this seems to be the case here too, though how much of a game one can glean from a trailer is debatable. Still, with what information we've been given so far, it's a distinct possibility.

Peter Jackson is speculated to be involved from best I can tell.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Every Halo game has had both a cinematic trailer, as well as battle chatter. That alone isn't enough.

In fact, considering that Halo: Reach is a Bungie project, and not being run by Wignut Studios/Peter Jackson, I'm pretty sure we can say that Chronicles truly was put on hold.

I really hope it isnt. I know alot of people liked Halo Wars but I cant take another non-Bungie game. This has to be a good old fashioned Halo.

I realize that, the reason I pointed out the diolauge was that to me it seemed written rather alot like a film, dramatic foreshadowing and specifically a fair ammount of character drama, at least more so than usuall in Bungie games, thus my reasoning that Wingnut is involved.
Also, my main theroy is simply that Bungie may have taken over the project after Jackson let it drop for the past few years.

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.

I bet it's part of halo:chronicles. H:C chronicles the fall of reach, sigma octanus, the rubble, harvest...
I think that seems pretty plausible.

Loose talk is noose talk.

There are currently 4 games under the guise of Halo:
Halo Wars (released)
Halo Chronicles (speculated)
Halo Reach (Alpha stages (my guess))
Halo ODST (Goin' gold pretty soon (my logical guess))

So, yeah, I'm pretty sure I heard this somewhere, which means Halo Reach =/= Halo Chronicles.
