Per Audacia Ad Astra

I have just watched the announcement made at Kotaku via Xbox Live Spotlight and I have to say it looks stunning. Or, atleast, my predictions and expectations are stunning.

I'm guessing it is simply a Multiplayer game alone, correct?
Because that is what people have been talking about prior to the announcement and the release of the Halo: Reach Trailer. It is made by Bungie as their trademark is clearly shown along with Microsoft's trademark at the end.

But is there a storyline behind the multiplayer, a story behind the multiplayer maps?

Is there a Main Character?
Who can you play as? Spartans?

The first two lines of the trailer are; "From the beginning, You know the end".
Does this mean we will find out where Master Chief and Cortana have gone?

Another final question, what is happening to Earth (if that is Earth) with the explosions?
Are the Covenant back? A new type of enemy? Have the Elites decided to continue the Prophet's plan (despite them betraying the Covenant anyway)?


A big thank you to Bungie. Halo ODST and Halo Reach are going to be amazing.

The planet is Reach. That's why it's called Halo: Reach. The planet got glassed in 2552, just before Halo: CE. You can read the story in the book Halo: The Fall of Reach.

From the beginning, you know the end. Indeed we do. We know the planet is going to be glassed. I don't know if the game is multiplayer only.

I think you got a few facts wrong.

The planet in the trailer is Reach, a human military planet. It's the place where the Spartans were trained.

The Covenant attacks Reach, this happens right before the events on Installation04 (Halo1).

I don't think that it's a standalone Multiplayer, it will most likely have a story.

i agree with Rigatony, i dontbilve this will be a standalone Multiplayer, because if it was then why make a trailer that seems to have a story behind it. plus dont you wana know what happen to the planet, and the military forces on it. and the spartans i wana know what happen to them.


kinda off topic but dint people say that they got off the planet and when to a difrient one and got stuck?
