Guys, I doubt this has anything to do with H3. The attack on Reach occured before the Chief even went to Halo. Meaning this game is probably about the battle on Reach, which is fine by me because it was one hell of a fight according to the book. You guys should read more and post less.

How many times do I have to say this, THE TWO STARS ARE TWO DIFFERENT COLORS, IT IS NOT THE SAME PLANET.

But over time stars can change color...
Yes, but you are saying that the end of Halo 3 is the same thing as in the Reach trailer, and anyway stars take millions of years to change color.

This is halopedia:
Located in the Epsilon Eridani system in FLEETCOM Sector One, Reach was one of the most important headquarters for the UNSC and the main supplier of military and civilian spacecraft. HIGHCOM, FLEETCOM and the UNSC Marine Corps had headquarters on Reach, as well as many primary ONI bases, which included CASTLE Base. It was the most populated planet after Earth in the UNSC.[1]

After the Battle of Reach, the planet was completely uninhabited and mostly glassed. When UNSC forces finally abandoned the planet, a small Covenant occupation fleet remained in the system.

Get this:
Orbiting around Reach were twenty Orbital Defense Platforms, equipped with heavy MAC Guns also known as "big sticks". In addition, there were also 150 warships stationed in the Epsilon Eridani System at any time. The ODPs were destroyed during the Invasion of Reach, or were disabled by ground troops by destroying their power source. Despite their huge numbers, the fleet of warships was destroyed by an even larger Covenant fleet.

Nah, because the Master Chief already went back to reach before Halo 2. In the books, that is. On top of that, if it was glassed, it would be a complete reflection of the sun, not a pattern of lights. This game is going to be about how Reach fell.

What if the Planet in the trailer isn't reach though, kinda a prequel to the game, maybe Harvest....

Grunt- no, its not on
Chief- Ho yea! its on!!
Grunt- NOOO it iiiis nooot on!

WOOO untrue!!! it all depends on the stars Mass!! IF ITS VERY HEAVY (4 times or more our sun), Then it will take approximatively 100 million years to die! EXCEPT, that those heavy stars change very often their nuclear reactions so they can sustain all their mass.

In conclusion, if that star is a HEAVY star, and it is in its final stage, it could have changed A LOT in a thousands of years, or even less. SO, it could well be the same star but that is in its final stage! (because reactions goes faster in the end)


OR (2nd theory, i think thats the best) it could have gone from "super red giant star" to "white dwarf' during that time, which would explain why its not the same color anymore.

(ok now, if the time laps is very small, a planet nebula could have put that star from a "super red giant star" to a " white dwarf" in no time)

Captain Keyes, Cortana, and the Chief made a slipspace jump to follow some Covenant ships that were leaving Reach after it got glassed. The start of Halo 1 was just after they exited that slipspace jump. Meaning the events on Reach occurred before the events in Halo 1, so they definitely occured before Halo 3. Mean that Halo: Reach doesn't follow from the events in Halo 3.

Were talking about how they went back in time, accoring to the theory no time has elapsed between the end of Halo 3 and the beginning of Reach, so why is the star a different color?

I think you're the only one with the time travel theory...

Too bad Reach was destroyed.

glassed, not physically burst into pieces.

The planet at the end of halo probably has something to do with marathon:
At the end of the game, the rear section of the ship Master Chief is on, the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn, drifts toward a planet as the Marathon logo flashes on the surface. Alex Seropian once stated that Master Chief and the main character of Marathon were the same character. Bungie has since denied this, with Seropian explaining that they weren't the same person, but different reincarnations of the same character.

At the end of Halo 3 (Legendary ending) Master Chief approaches a planet that lights up. If you pause it at the right moment you can see some landmass on the planet.
In the teaser for Halo: Reach the landmass looks exactly the same when paused at the right moment.
To see the comparison go to this link.
If you look closely you can see the outline of the landmass...

After looking at the pics from H3 and the Halo Reach screens, they do look a lot alike. The only connection would be though is MC is arriving to the destroyed Reach. Reach in the trailer has to be when the Covenant attack just prior to Halo CE. Curious to see where they would be going with this.

Not possible considering the chief never made it through the portal when the Ark exploded. So he is still drifting towards a planet outside the milky way galaxy, a feat humans in the Halo universe have not done before. Reach is not the planet the chief is drifting towards.
Yeah, because if he didn't go through the portal, he'd be back where the Halo ring was activated and destroyed the Ark, and he TOTALLY would have survived that.

Sarcasm drizzled in sarcasauce.



Wow this sarcasm guy is rediculous. Did you not pay attention to what cortana said? Or guilty spark for that matter? They set off a local tactical pulse, its not as far reaching as a full pulse. Secondly; the Halo ring was incomplete and destroyed itself in the process of firing, a convenient ploy by Bungie to assure the Chiefs survival when the ring fired and he was left behind. He is still outside our Galaxy, "we made it through just in time... well, some of us did" -Cortana said. The Chief is floating towards a planet made by Forerunners. You can see the exact type of Forerunner scriptures on the planets surface. Look At this picture. the debate is over, this planet you think is reach is not, as the landmasses are not the same. you are dumb. a pictures worth a thousand words. this picture features 1000 F U's :
