Subject: Speculations (Nobody is right yet)

Hi, I am the White Mamba Overlord of our group the ODSM.
We are not a clan, and we don't play the game for competition. Instead we play for fun, and to hang out with friends. If you are interested in joining go to our group homepage and sign up. Membership is open.
We are mostly a Halo 3: ODST group for help with achievements and stuff, but we also will play a lot of Halo 3 matchmaking.

OK, so I have been noticing a lot of threads and posts saying that Halo: Reach is DEFINATELY a prequil and what-not. (It makes the most sense, but we can't say for sure yet).
But everyone is forgetting that this is just a teaser trailer and we really only can know one thing for certain.... THE NAME!

The whole prequil thing makes the most sense and everything. I'm not saying it isn't possible (in fact I agree with it the most) but I think it is ignorant to just assume that it is one thing when we have hardely any information on the game.

So all I am asking is that you speculate and theorize your info until you have some solid evidence.

Thank you.

Feel free to post if you agree with me, or if you want to do some speculating. =)

its a prequel the marketing line is "from the begining you know the end " that talking about at the egining of halo 1 when captin keyes is telling cortana that reach is destroyed. in the books it said reach was 90% destroyed by start of h1.

I know that now that I have read this, but I'm not just talking about that. People are saying all sorts of their speculations are true...

Forever there shall be war, thus forever we shall fight...

That is untrue, there is some very hard evidence for the plot in the teaser, such as Sierra 320 and 259 and the various grid stations that are mentioned.

But as to gameplay, we know nothing except for that it will be an FPS as confirmed by Joystiq.

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

Actually, the name can change...

Halo 3: Recon to Halo 3:ODST.

But I agree with your other points... However speculation is fun.

Yeah, that pretty much says it all. Even says it's a shooter. Expected that, but nice to get some sort of confirmation.

And by the way people, its PREQUEL not prequil. That was driving me nuts.

Look, that had nothing to do with the thread.

One thing was that they were surprised that half of "Reach" was destroyed. In the book, everything in Reach knew the Covenant were attacking.

Another was that there were Slipspace ruptures behind the Defense Grids. In the book, this would be impossible (untill later on) for the Covenant because of gravity messing up the slipspace calculations.

I think there might be reasonable explanations for all this, but they are good example of how this could be a sequel set years after Halo 3.
