Subject: Is anyone else kind of worried that Reach will mess up the Timeline?

I mean I can't figure logically where it will fit in...

who the heck are spartans 259 and 320, that goes way over the limit...

and spartan 2-59 died in a hot drop.

and there were no spartans on the ground when reach was first attacked, they were all dropped later...

It just seems very very messy to me...

Viva La Revolution!
Social Infection ftw

There are more spartans then you know.

The Visual was Reach when the space battle was lost and they were already lsoing on the ground.

As you can see, it starts as before the battle when they detected the covenant fleet, then skips to when the UNSC fleet were already defeated.

There WERE spartans on the ground when reach was being glassed.

He said it while it was being glassed.

I am certain Bungie will sort it out, they are always faithful to the timeline.

also sierra doesn't necessarily mean spartan. sierra could mean anything beginning with the letter S.

ohai...

Why would Reach mess up the timeline?

This is before Halo: CE, so they havent interfered with the ending of Halo 3 etc...

Bungie is the father of Halo. They define the timeline.
They can mess up what they define.

well contact harvest and halo wars messed up fall of reach.

they have made mistakes before

  • 06.05.2009 8:52 AM PDT

woot.

Bungie has never let us down in this subject.

I personally believe that the fictional company ONI was created to have "top secret" things just so we can be satisfied when they throw something new at us.

what do you mean where does it fit in
have you played halo: ce
Cortana says in the intro,"the covenant have been trackiung us since Reach", this game is about the events before halo: ce
there were a lot of spartans before, there wasnt always just one, many of them died during the Fall of Reach

  • 06.05.2009 9:04 AM PDT

I have read all the first 3 halo books.
at the time Reach is first attacked there are no spartans on the ground.
They all drop to protect the oribital cannons generators except for 3 or 4 who go to the covenant ship.

adding a second class of spartans out of the blue would be ridiculous.

listening= no fail.


I know more about Reach than you probably do.

and Halo Wiki knows nothing about spartan 259 or 320 because they do not exist, the entire class does not exist.

Dude it's a teaser trailer, chill.

259= spartan II 059

  • 06.05.2009 9:45 AM PDT

I read those and they say nothing other then they are s2 commandos which is impossible.

  • 06.05.2009 9:46 AM PDT

now but not in the event of reach

  • 06.05.2009 9:58 AM PDT

he dies falling onto the surface of reach...
so he wouldn't be alive to say "This is sierra 2-59"

I hope they clear all this up before release...

The very last people that would ever screw up the timeline would be bungie themselves seeing as how they created it

Ever hear of the Halo Bible?

Everything in the halo universe is already mapped out, it just has to be put into the format of games! Since I have not read the books, I am glad they are creating a game that follows along the lines of the origins to everything.

Just wait for the game to come out. We don't even know where the trailer scene takes place at in the game. A game by Bungie is not going to screw up the timeline.
