Subject: Is Reach set in the past or the future.

Give a man fire he's warm for a day light a man on fire he's warm for his life.

Sorry to keep the discussion going, but the planet at the end of Halo 3 I think was Onyx (just to help the OP).

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

The planet at the end of Halo 3, and the planet on the trailer of Halo: Reach, are 2 totally different things.

They are not related at all. It is Reach, under attack by the covenant.

this happens right before the first halo event

wtf i thought halo3 odst was the last halo and its in the past.

Read the book series. Reach is where the Master chief is trained, and developed. This is his home planet, after they took him away from his other life. So this happens all before the first halo. Where halo 1 begins, is where this could game could end.

Halo: CE starts off as the Pillar of Autumn is exiting slipspace after fleeing Reach, so Halo : Reach should take place right before Halo 1 if it's following the book.

Halo Wars takes place 20 years before the first Halo Game which will be 20 years before the fall of reach as they had just escaped reach at the begining of Halo: CE. Hope this helps :)

The future.
Events at reach happen around 500 years from now :3
