6 years? No...didn't even have dev kits for the 360

Sometime after development ended on Halo 3. Either directly after or atleast in the last year.

Does anyone even read these?

Since Halo 3 was finished.

Is he in reach? No. his fellow comrades AKA Spartans where there during the war and killed he was the only one to get out.

so halo reach isn't halo 4 ?

Even if Master Chief is the main character (which hopefully he won't be. we could use another change of pace) it wouldnt be "halo 4". Halo: Reach is a prequel. It tells the story of the Fall of Reach.

It's not Halo 4. The following is the most realistic theory you will see on this forum.

It takes place when teh Covenant first attack Reach as you can tell in the trailer. The Navy engages the Covenant while Master Chief orders Fred(a fellow spartan) to lead the ground ops to protect the Orbital MAC Generators, while he and two other spartans go on a space mission in orbit to destroy some nav data. Most likely you won't even play as the Chief but instead Fred or another groundside spartan. It is obvious that Sierra-259 is either one of the 20+ spartans on the ground or it is the name of the pelican dropping the spartans onto the surface and he identifies himself and the rest of the spartans by saying the name of the pelican. If we do play as this 'Spartan-259' then we will infact die by the end of the game due to him not being on the list of surviving spartans.

listen to this guy too.

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

I would say the idea for a Reach themed game has been in the think tank since the book, but actual work hasn't started until after Halo 3's release.

  • 06.04.2009 11:38 AM PDT

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

no not really because halo reach is before halo:ce on the timeline so it's like halo 0

True mike. Most likely Bungie has been writing the story and making concept art for it. Then they got the team to make a short trailer with no gameplay just to show if off. Most likely everything or atleast a lot of stuff isn't even started yet.

  • 06.04.2009 11:41 AM PDT

is Halo reach using its own engine or the Halo 3 engine like ODST ?
and is the graphics going to look better on reach ?

If Bungie started creating it during Halo 3 development or after release, that would be at least 3 years upon Reach release.

No not at all. In the first strike they say that gamma and beta teams are still out there, they just lost contact. This is not Halo 4, it is a prequal to Halo combat evolved. Similar to Halo wars. Going on establish canon i would assume we won't be playing as the master chief, seeing as how his only part in reach was about fifteen minutes long. I would assume they started production on the game shortly after Halo 3 went gold. They usually don't anounce a game unless it's beyond the early stages of creation.

Its most likley going to use a brand new engine, so it'll most likley have better graphics or atleast a gritter feel to the graphics compared to Halo 3 Colour filled vibrant style.
