Subject: SPOILERS Counter Theory to the MC time travel

Ok so i just played the legendary ending again and there is 2 very noticable things. First off, the planet MC ends up going over is very metallic looking, and the circular shapes on the surface are all equal in size.

The reach trailer has the circular cities, but not on the same place as the planet in Halo 3's ending. Also, the man on Gamma station says "unconfirmed insystem slipspace rupture" this was dialogue in the Reach book. So MC cannot have been to travel back in time. The book was made about 4 years prior to this game being announced.

The blue hue around the planet is classic of all planets with an atmosphere make up of oxygen/nitrogen (life sustainable). also here is no 2 planets behind the MC planet.

The blue nebula behind the ship is not present in the reach trailer. The blue band behind the reach planet is the milkyway galaxy disk. Similar to the band of white we can see on earth today.

Any other suggestions or comments please feel free to discuss

edit 1: the sun on reach is reddish orange. the sun on the halo 3 planet is blue

What?

Pretty much agree, though he would not have traveled back four years, as the battle for Reach took place just before Halo 1. it would be more like a month.

Even so, I'm taking your side that time travel is not involved.

In the end of Halo 3 the planet that he is floating by is an abandon forerunner world.

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"

I just think the whole idea of him time traveling, and the 2 planets (reach and legendary ending planet) being the same is just simple idioticy. I gave off my speculation here

add a horn that says "!%*@ BILL O' REILLY" in Austin Powers' voice, and
I like how if anyone ever says a nice thing about Bungie people think all they want is Recon, and if someone says something bad about Bungie people join with them. And then after they get done bagging on Bungie, they go play the game that Bungie made

Why would it be reach? If it was reach, he wouldn't be lost, because he would say "Hey, it's Reach, I know how to get home from here."

Also, he would be able to make contact with earth, as earth is so close to Reach.

You is that dumb to actually think the Chief went back in time? This is Halo not back to the future. If it was Reach then you would have seen the Navy all around the planet and he would have made contact with them. Seriously I cannot stand people who just can't simply accept the facts of what the game is about and go and make up the most stupid theories ever.

Y? Y time travel, this isn't some nintendo game that you can time travel back and forth. This is a real big boy game that nintendo is not going to ruin. This is not stargate, or Doctor who. THIS IS HALO!!!!!!

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

"I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

I agree, what you say makes sense. Plus, why would the portal just happen to open up at Reach when it just happens to be under attack? The fact that it opens up at a Forunner planet wold make a hell of a lot more sense.

And the fact that the Marathon symbol, among other symbols on the surface, is present on the planet in question at the end of the Legendary Ending.

The counter theory works.
And I love the idiots who posted thinking you were in support of the time travel.
