I was reading the Q & A thread, one question said "Is Master Chief going to be playable / the main character?" or something like that..

Answer is yet unknown. Here is what I'm thinking;

Chief travelled through time because the ship got cut in half by the slipspace travel. He ends up on Reach, gets found by the other spartans, tadaaa!

It's merely a theory, but wouldn't that be great?

Join Team Mythic. It's full of mythicness, nutrition and activeness.
(If they're real words)

No, it would change what happens throught the story, books and games.

no,no,no,no,no NO

it will almost certainly be about what went on at reach BEFORE it went down. MC was sent to another mission when blue team went down to battle.

Always Carry a Shotgun

He will NOT be the main character but most likly he will make an appearance as he was on reach for a short period of time.

Actually, that wouldn't be great. There's already a Master Chief on REACH, while only for a short time. But, if he came back in time and changed anything that happened on REACH, that would basically render the rest of the series pointless.

Plus, I think the other SPARTANS on REACH would be slightly confused by Master Chief coming back to REACH, and wearing brand new armor, superior to theirs.

Hopefully Bungie still thinks time travel is an idiotic idea. Because if that's the case, game over.

No, no no no no no no....

It would mess up the whole halo series if chief traveled back in time.

Please do not send me group invites. If I were interested in your group, I would have already found it.

No. The less pseudo-science BS in this game, the better.

That's not to say Master Chief can't appear in this game. It's ages since I read Fall of Reach, but I think he and other Spartans were in orbit around Reach at the time. Some went down onto the planet. The Autumn jumped from Reach using "random" coordinates and ended up near Halo.

The game will likely focus on those Spartans on the surface, but there's no reason John can't cameo. We may even get to see Halsey in game.

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

*sigh* Why the hell would Bungie do that? It would ruin the entire storyline up through then. Bungie would have to re-make halos 1-3 (and possibly ODST) if they did that because the story would change dramatically.

People, use your damn heads for once. What is so hard about understanding it's a prequel?! Also, MC was in the battle of Reach. He also went back to it after receiving a ping from one of the the remaining Spartans. So, if you do get to play as Master Chief, it will only be on the space op, or if the game is long enough and you go back for the other Spartans. Chances are you will play as the team that did the ground op. Also, a very high chance is playing as Noble team.

You guys need to let MC go. This is not Halo 4. Keep an eye on Gearbox for that because there are a lot of rumors saying Gearbox is working on Halo 4.

I was so certain that this was taking place prior to halo: combat evolved, so how in the world would master chief and arbiter be allies? Maybe if all of the spartans weren't killed and I'm just forgetting everything, then maybe something like that happens. But w/e

Unfortunately, that wouldn't work unless you want to pull some time warping stuff like in Star Trek.

Hopefully you get to play as... was it blue team or red team who was on the surface?

The Risk Is Worth The Reward.
Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Dogs Of War.

That idea doesn't work OP. If that were to happen it would change the events that happend in the game and in the books. The chief hasn't gone back in time. Reach takes place before Halo CE, I don't see what so hard to get about that.

if you listen to te video, the spartan refers to himself as seirra 257, basicaly spartan 257. there were only 250 spartans in johns group, but in the books it does say that they are getting ready to start training the next group. pretty much all of the spartan training takes place on reach as it is the main military base for the UNSC. that makes it more likely that you actualy play as one of the new spartans, that were never named or mentioned in previous books or games!

just my taking from the announcement, read into it what you wish!

YOU remember at the end of the last level in halo 3 on legendary difficulty, if you watch it all the way to the end it will show you the exact same planet. When ever it show master chief floating through space, out of the side comes planet reach.

Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

Reach already happened. It's glassed. People need to get in tune with the Halo Universe. Please, read The Fall of Reach.

  • 06.03.2009 8:46 AM PDT

Your friend is not a reliable source of information

no, its only a prequel, there's no time traveling involved here guys, its just Reach before it falls, as you could see in the trailer, it isn't complicated...
