Bungie has always set stuff up to surprise us, So im guessing the portal sent MC back in time to reach. Pre-colonization.

This theory is backed up by the fact that this "portal" was designed to protect us from the Halo's, which destroy the universe. So where else could you go other than the past if the Halos were supposed to destroy the universe.

Looking for new games to test!

Man, its not in the future! People are posting about this all over the place, and its to far fetched, The planet you see at the end of Halo 3 (the legendary ending) It could be Onyx, man it could be anything.

This is a prequel to Halo 1 and Im guessing that they will be making Ghosts Of Onyx, then another Marathon.
Yes the portal was to protect us, not a "time" portal but a portal none the less

Well if you look at the last level in lengendary he is crashing on a planet. I think it is reach. And then master chief finds the spartans and brings them back

He already rescued the surviving Spartans from Reach in the First Strike.

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

did you even play the halo games?
the halos are not supposed to be giant bombs that destroy the universe.
1 : it kills lifeforms only
2 : on a massive scale of a few galaxies, not the WHOLE universe.

for all we know, the ark could be several thousands of galaxies away from earth...

We should know better, because we are better.

This is a prequel because this shows you the events that destroyed reach in 2552. This is not a sequel! There is no fancy time portal thingy! This just shows what happened a few weeks before the start of Halo:CE.
Edit: the ark is 262144 light years from the galactic center of our galaxy.

Nobody knows anything until Bungie says themselves, and I think we should all think about that. Only Bungie truly knows what the story is and we all should wait and see what they reveal in time.

Halo:CE is less than a day after the events of REACH. The Pillar of Autumn was escaping REACH when the Covenant armada attacks and initiated the Cole Protocol and ended up by the Halo rings we know and love.
Read the books and see the beginning of Halo:CE. Crazy stuff.

For the last time it's not back to the future it explains how all the spartans died and in the trailer they planet gets glassed so if that was their attempt to save Reach by going back in the future it FAILED EPICALLY

Not only has Reach been confirmed to be a prequel, but this is just downright stupid. It's the sort of thing some eleven year old superfan would think up as an excuse to have his most favourite character in the next game. And everyone at Bungie (Other than Urk) is slightly older than eleven. They know how to conduct a story, and I'm sure this is one of the things they'd avoid.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just stating what I think.

You can even tell it's a prequel, because in the trailer, one of the voices states that it's them. Them could only be the Covenant because they destroyed Reach. And like Manbearpig said, it was confirmed to be a prequel. Get it?

To be fair, I'm 99% sure that John will be in Halo:Reach too, just not as the man we know at the end of Halo 3.
They know how to conduct a story, and I'm sure this is one of the things they'd avoid.He didn't go back in time. He woke up, and IT WAS ALL A DREAM, and the Covenant were just attacking Reach!!!

Were it so easy.

Can't we just accept that MC and Cortana are not the only heros of the war. This is almost as bad as "The rookie is a MC clone" theorie.

The planet MC is falling towards is not Reach , Reach is the closest human colony world to Earth , If it was Reach Cortana would not have told MC "it could be a long time before any one finds us". If they were near Reach it would have been "wow , we almost made it home, have a good anap see you shortly", instead the tone of her voice seems to say It could be years before a UNSC patrol just happens to come across this derelict cruiser. Also the fleet that attacked Reach was the largest fleet we had ever seen (it takes alot of fire power to superheat a plnets surface to glass) , I don't think MC would have made a whole hell of alot of difference , or he would have stayed the first time , instead , He retreats to (direct order from CPT Keys) and escapes on the PoA(Pillar of Autumn) only after losing most of his squad in a zero g , close orbit mission abord a covenant frigate and the other half he losses on Reach as they volunteered to go down and stop the Covenenat from entering the Oni Facility and finding Earths Coordinates(basically a planet bound enforcement of the Cole protocal.)

In the Legendary ending the planet that Master Chief is floating by is just a forerunner world. Since none of you know what the portal does i will tell you. When the halo rings are activated all life in the galexy is wiped out so that the flood will starve... all but in one place. When the forerunners set off the halo reings they planed to go to the ark (installation 00) (the level the ark) If you were to go to the ark when the halos were set off you could live that was the ONLY place were you could survive. The portal was the only way to get to the ark.

THE PORTAL DOES NOT SEND YOU BACK IN TIME.

Either the ark or a shield world.

  • 06.04.2009 7:15 AM PDT

my personal theory is that Reach is a prequel to the Halo trilogy. I think that Bungie is saving the ultimate fate of our beloved chief for the next xbox console, where they can start a new trilogy based on the big world the chief is floating towards

  • 06.04.2009 5:18 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

On Xbox.com, Reach is confirmed to be a prequel.

  • 06.04.2009 5:36 PM PDT

Wow I really wish people would look into this more, Reach was destroyed before Halo 1, and nightmare, the Ark was the place they left at the end of Halo 3...
