Subject: How many people actually played Halo:CE?

I see all these threads about Reach being the planet Master Chief is drifting towards at the end of Halo 3 (legendary ending).

Did any of you people actually play Halo:CE? Or watch the cut scenes?

I have read zero of the books and I consider the games the "real" story. Even I understand that this game takes place immediately before Halo:CE. The Pillar of Autumn was fleeing Reach to draw the Covies away from finding Earth, they made the blind slipspace jump and arrived at Halo.

I think it is an extension of Halo wars after watching the trailer but who knows?

The idiots with these theories are the same ones that don't realize that 23 (and counting) other people have come up with the "time travel theory." This is obviously about the fall of Reach, however, we don't know for sure if its even an FPS. Me might not even know until we play the beta.

it was confirmed its a FPS. you shut up

  • 06.04.2009 7:57 PM PDT

There is no time traveling, Bungie would never be that corny. The ending to Halo 3 (no matter the difficulty) is the fate of the Chief. The planet is probably Reach that he is floating towards, bringing the Halo saga full circle.

why are the spartan numbers so high in the trailer, if the game supposed to take place before Halo:ce?

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

What I want to know is why people are having such a hard time comprehending that it's a prequel to Halo 1....

SPARTAN-II, class-II. There was a second part to the SPARTAN-II program.

I think someone made the speculation that Sierra 259 actually represents Spartan II - 059. Makes sense to me anyway.

OFF TOPIC:@ CornfIake-Will you please calm down...

Not everyone has to be like you.

ON TOPIC: If you watched the very first cut scene of Halo: CE, you can clearly see the Pillar of Autumn fleeing Reach.

The Flood is almost literally just the events of Halo: CE.

hmmn, never thought about that one... it would make a twisted amount of sense!

fall of reach ends with, well, the fall of the planet Reach, during which the cruiser Pillar Of Autumn makes a blind jump through slipspace(though in the books, it was less than blind thanks to Cortana.) thus finding the first Halo. after many years of fighting the covenant, a second halo, and the Ark, for John 117 to return to Reach through the slipstream ... 'bubble' lets call it, seems perfectly in tune with Bungie's sence of irony.

however, i don't mean that Reach will be 117 on Reach again, i think it is an entirely new game, based on pre-Halo:CE. i am hoping that it is the book in game form, cause apparently a lot of fans don't care about the books(which were sponsored by Bungie, and one was even written by a staff member, the guy who does the grunt voices i think?

You're talking about Malcolm-059.

The biggest problem with that theory is that Malcolm died on impact with the surface of Reach. The other show stopper is that the person who came up with the theory completely fabricated the idea that Spartans put their "Spartan Classification" before their number when communicating on FLEETCOM. No such thing has ever happened in Halo canon. It was completely made up to support his belief that there is no second group of Spartans.

Actually, the time gap between the beginning of H1 and the end of H3 in only like 2 months.

Ah, gotcha. Well now that I have been enlightened, I have no idea why the numbers are so high.

I haven't read any of the books and I knew what Reach was too just from playing CE.

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

I've played all the Halo games, including Halo Zero. Anyone who thinks Halo Reach happens after Halo3 is some kind of nut

Living to die
Really Just waiting to die

well he did say that he played all the games dint he (if not i read wrong) so even I know that it is a prequel to HALO CE (R) that reach is the start and halo wars was just a treat form Microsoft (R) because BUNGIE (R) was stopping the halo series at HALO 3 (R) so there was a small lope hole ware they can stop at a different HALO (R) Like REACH for a demonstration is no HALO 4 (R) they could not go past HALO 3 (R) thats way they made HALO 3 ODST and so forth

I played Halo CE in bits, so the plot is kind of unclear to me.
