Subject: Story behind Halo: Reach (Spoilers?)


LOOK OUT FOR THE ROFL FRAMES OF DOOM!

That sounds logical. I didn't even remember the part with the polar regions my self. :)
For anyone still thinking this game is a MMO though, read the Bungie weekly update located here - Let me quote:
"Q. My cousin told me that Halo: Reach is a squad-based tactical MMO featuring all kinds of ridiculous stuff that I shouldn't believe. Is he a liar?

A. Halo: Reach will be a First Person Shooter. You will shoot stuff from a first person perspective. It will be awesome."

There was also an entire page dedicated to Dares giant head. And ODST's release date September 22nd, 2009.

I have a theory myself, if you read the books, each SPARTAN has its own unique ability. Sam being strongest, Kelly, being fastest, Linda, best sharpshooter, and ofcourse John with his luck. With that picture up top, i do believe thats exactly who these people are. (Aside from John, which is the Master Chief for those who dont know). Linda being the sniper on the right, Sam before he died on the far left, fred, Anton and the female spartan whose name i dont recall ever being mentioned. and possibly Kurt before he was abducted by the ONI. So with this in mind, i think we will play as multiple people, depending on the level, for reasons that bungie wants to expand their play. Meaning not just playing as the same person but many to keep the attention of halo fans. You know bungie, their always cookin somethin up so they stay on top.

Anyone agree?

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

YAY! Someone who read the books!

This game should show the epic space battle.

This game is obviously on the fall of reach.

1. The trailer shows it being glassed
2. "Falls 2010" means Reach will Fall on 2010.

There should be sme sequence where you're a Longsword pilot in the middle of the Space battle.


That space battle was one of the best sci-fi battles I have ever read or seen. If they done that that would be insane, especially if it was in Halo Wars Cutscene graphics! - Who knows how advanced the graphics of this game are going to be?!

I'm just throwing my ideas around here. Now I've never read any of the books before, but I did look closely at the poster for the game, and it looks to me on the far left, there is an elite. Now I don't know if it really is or not, or if there is significance, but I'm just throwing it out there.

As I can see a lot of people think that it's Halo 4. A lot of people think Master Chief is there too.
Well, if you had read the novels (First strike and end of Fall of Reach) you'd know that you probably will step into the shoes of Fred, a spartan when reach was attacked, directly before Halo 1 starts. 2552. John is the only spartan to escape Reach on the pillar of awesome (see what I did there? Eh...) and the rest of the the spartan teams are left on the half-glassed reach, struggling for survival. Since the book First Strike went into Fred's POV you'll most likely play as him.
Reach is by the way a military planet that the Spartans trained on before they got mojnir armor.
Read the books. Seriously! They are great! Anyway, I'm really psyched about this game, especially since I've read the books.

-_- can i buy some pot from you?.....
or at least them Halo novels

It does look like an Elite, if you read the books in the one about harvest, there was an engineer that was giving info to the humans. But since these are Elites I don't know if they will be traitors.

I'm not really into the whole time travel thing but, you know how at the end of Halo 3 (on legendary) MC's half of the ship starts coming up on a planet. What if that planet is Reach. Just a thought to what the story might be like.

Reach was never that close to a Halo ring, and if you remember he didn't pass through the portal. Since Cortana couldn't bring up any intel on the planet it's probably unidentified.

Snakie Purple.

"Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog"-Hamdog.

Twatter

Well, Fred always was cool. Playing as him along with Will, Linda, and Kelly would be sweet. They did manage to survive the glassing of Reach.

However, knowing bungie (Read other posts) they will probably write something new. The conclusion is anyway that spartan 259 and 320 are unidentified and not in delta squad. They are probably the other lost counter part.

Good point. I have to agree when you say we'll probably play another spartan like Fred.

On the poster, other then a guy holding a knife and the silhouettes of some new weaponry, I can see covenant ships in the background, moving in a glassing pattern as on the battle of reach. I can also take a guess that the person to the right is Linda with the sniper. Who knows, maybe you do play chief on the last mission when covered by Linda. Maybe the last mission is on the Hierophant. Just an idea.

You won't be able to swap characters. You will play as one. It is a normal FPS like all the other Bungie produced Halo-games - Personally I'm happy about this.

I really hope we will get some more forerunner information considering it's on Reach - swarming with hidden forerunner artifacts.

Halo 3 Academy Staff
RvB Episode 100- Sarge destroying computer Vic says "Whoa dude that was my Heat Sink now how the f*** am I going to sink my heat"

PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals

technically you could play a level or 2 as the MC when he attacks the space station that didnt follow the cole protocol

but i agree that Fred will be the main character


Linda also got off of Reach but she was technically dead and sitting in a Cryo Tube throughout H1

Okai, but only because I want this thread to be discussed to the reasonable, logic yet Bungie-like perspective. It's nice to hear other people's opinions on the matter. No time traveling though! >:)

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Linda escaped on the Pillar of Awesome too... but still, yeah, that makes alot of sense, one of the only times I can't find any real flaws in a theory. Great job!
