Subject: So Halo Reach IS about ODST's!!!!

Ohey guys :)

There was a lot of speculation of who the people in the banner above this page were. It's 100% obvious.

The one on the far left: Michael Crespo (Or Mickey), the dude carrying the rocket launcher.

The girl next to him: Dare. Very mysterious; however, the Recon does not suit her. She looks like an ODST with an over sized Recon head. *Cough* That Recon would look much better on me... *Cough*

The one in the middle: Edward Buck. He seems to be the hero of Halo Reach, for some reason.

The one next to Buck: Taylor H. Miles, the guy with the Spartan Laser.

The one on the far right: Kojo Agu (or Romeo). He's the sniper.

And then theres the Rookie. Who exactly this Rookie is, we don't know. His full name was not supplied. Whether or not the Rookie will be in Halo Reach, no one knows for sure. But he is the main protagonist in Halo 3: ODST.

Could the Rookie be part of Halo Reach, too?

EDIT: I just finished reading some comments that official Bungie members left on various threads. It seems that Halo Reach will have an extensive story and back story. I can't tell what I'm more psyched about; ODST or Reach!!!

I'm getting both obviously though lol. LONG WITH HALO!

EDIT: Woah, I'm already getting flamed!!

This is a simple theory, guys!! C'mon! Don't be so rude :(

Halo: Reach is probably going to be a prequel to Halo: CE is most opinions and speculations.

Halo 3: ODST is going to be about the ODST crew obviously, but not Halo: Reach. Think before you post.

  • 06.03.2009 9:30 AM PDT

No... besides the fact that those are definitely not ODST armor suits...
They are too big to be ODSTs.
And, read Halo: The Fall of Reach. About Spartans, not ODSTs. It is official Halo canon.

Ohey guys :)

'Eh. Sorry.

Nerd rage is a killer

Also trying not to be rude here but, there are numerous references to Spartans during the trailer and since we are playing a game we already know the end of that most likely means we are going to be playing as characters who die during the fall of reach. AKA Spartans, and if i can remember right only the pillar of autumn escaped from Reach and unless the ODST's were on The pillar of autumn they would not have survived. Also only 4 humans survived the first Halos destruction 1 being the MC.

I didnt get to see all of E3 what is Halo reach?

  • 06.03.2009 9:40 AM PDT

Hey! Listen! HEY!- The words of Navi

Your not getting flamed dude.

And I dont think there was a giant ODST that is 7 or 8 foot tall.

  • 06.03.2009 9:43 AM PDT

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

ummm most of the soldiers on the pillar of autumn were ODST's remember how they fought their way to the drop bads then they dropped onto halo while the others went in "with wine and a meal" er something like that

Reach is 20 years before halo 3 meaning most of those ODSTs would still be in grade school. So either those are some REALLY big 5 year old soldiers, or it isn't about ODSTs

  • 06.03.2009 9:46 AM PDT

Yes but only 4 humans survived Halo 1 the Master Chief and Sargent Johnson an officer and a regular marine. So no it is not possible for the ODST's to be the main characters of Reach.

  • 06.03.2009 9:49 AM PDT

It's perfectly possible for ODST's to be the main characters because the battle of reach was BEFORE halo 1. It's just impossible for it to be about the specific ODSTs that are in HALO:ODST.

  • 06.03.2009 9:51 AM PDT

Nerd rage is a killer

If it is about ODST's i will be disappointed. There are so many things the Spartans did on reach that would be so cool to play through.

First, let me say that I disagree with your theory. It's not bad, but I don't believe that we're looking at an ODST squad.

However, I will still back you up a bit in the face of all these people who would be so quick to dismiss you.

Eddie Buck is a career Marine that has seen more than his fair share of this war. He has had the dubious honor of participating in many of the wars' most vicious battles including both the liberation of Harvest and the fall of Reach.

I took that from Bungie's meet the squad on the front page. It suggests that we might encounter Buck in the game. We almost certainly will not see the Rookie though. If he was at Reach, that wouldn't call him the rookie.

Are you on crack there is no way that the one on the far left is an odst its freaking taller that master cheif. I think it is an elite but if youlook closely it has a brute shot in its hand because you can see the blade

Ireally dont think Bungie would make 2 games about ODST in a row. Don't get me wrong playing as an ODST is going to be fun, but playing as a bone crunching half a ton menace is way more fun. And considering all the fun missions you could do on reach as a spartan I think that making the game about ODSTs would not do it justice.

That's not a Brute Shot, it's a turret. The "blade" is the ammo feed. We know Spartans are the only ones who can carry those turrets around, so the one on the far left is a Spartan.

SIP FTW awesomesauce

Apparently ODST's can do that to. Watch the video on E3 that shows off a Bungie employee ripping off a turret in firefight mode.

  • 06.03.2009 10:41 AM PDT

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

My guess is that we get to play as one of the Spartans.

On the left is not a Rocket Launcher, it's a turret.

Case closed.

  • 06.03.2009 10:49 AM PDT

Long live the Last Refuge!

It isn't possible since nearly all of the ODSTs (The ones you spoke of) weren't present at Reach atleast from what we have been told by Bungie.

It seems impossible that they are all ODSTs or from Halo 3: ODST. The differences in height are too great according to the image.

Romeo - 190cm
Dutch - 188cm
Buck - 188cm
Rookie - 186cm
Mickey - 184cm

The largest hight gap is 6cm, which seems too small to fit the picture.

dont want to be mean here dude but u have it all wrong. first off reach when it fell was in the year of 2552 and halo 1 and halo 2 are in 2552 the end of the covenant/human war is in 2553 and that is when in the end cutscene of halo 3 the arbitor shakes hands with lord hood and sails home. second of all the mysterious figures in the banner above this page are most likely to be Mark V spartan II's ( i.e Kelly, Fred, and James.) and what not . the odsts are aboard the pillar of auttumn at the time they are just working on the ship and being deployed on reach but later when they arrived at the first halo ring a LT. Mckay and Major Silva still had their ODST sqauds aboard and at the time were defending the engine room from covenant to keep them from disabling the core and the shaw-fujikawa translight engine in which without it they would be sitting ducks, then when Keyes awoke the Master Chief the odsts got a redirect order that initially sent them to drop into halo . the Soldiers back on Reach that were defending it had orders to defend the MAC gun generators on the surface of the planet from attack while the covenant sent in surgical strike teams to try and disable them to let a gate so to speak in the defenses to let some of their cruisers and drop ships into the surface for the ODST teams moet of the drop pods sent down to reach were initially destroyed by seraph and dropship fire and many pelicans carrying the troops were blown out of the sky by banshees and seraph fighters. In the end of the chaos the Macs were destroyed and the planet was glassed while some of the spartans escaped in a captured covenant dropship.

Well there is the answer to ur guys questions proving that the above figures in the banner are most likely Mark V spartans.

i know that 27 spartans droped in on reach. 4 killed in the initial landing, thats when all 16 of the spartans in charge of defending the reactors were killed, the remianing spartans , Fred Joshua, Kelly, Will, Grace Issac, Vinh, Anton, Li, are left. i saw 5 spartans (cause thats what they are) on the cover pic for halo: reach, Joshua, Issiac and Vinh die,and Li doesnt do -blam!-, so that makes 5, not including Master Chief (oh yeah) who shows up on reach. , so my geuss is that the guys (and girls) on the cover art is Fred, Will, Kelly, Grace, Anton, and Grace. But will John(A.K.A. Masta Cheeef) show up in time to make us jizz our pants in excitment.!!!!!!!
