I'll admit that I've yet to read the books and that it's been a while since I beat the game. So I won't argue any of those points.
Anyways, I agree that time travel would not make for that good of a storyline...but I have one thing to point out. Almost everyone who bashes it seems to think some of these theorists intend for the MC to meet up with everyone on Reach. Now I know most of them aren't that intelligent and just jump on with everything, but for those just trying to prove plausibility, I have to say that there are plenty of other things that could happen: Planets are huge.
Regardless, from what I've read in posts from those I've deemed the more knowledgeable of the haloverse, the game is obviously a prequel about the events at Reach. The books have contained characters other than the MC. The banner for the site has other spartans on it. Obviously you will be playing as/along said other characters, regardless of whether through some miraculously stupid way the MC fanboys get their way and 117 is featured in the game somewhere. More than likely though, your character will be the unknown spartan voiced in the trailer. Anyways, sorry for the long post and any off-topicness that might have occurred in this last paragraph.
