Okay, first off let me start off by saying,
HALO REACH IS A PREQUEL! It is not halo 4. It is about
the spartans who fought during the fall of reach.
Basically before playing, you can get the jist of what happened by reading the fall
of reach halo book, and for those of you who don't like to read or spend money,
you can look up the plot summary on halopedia or wikipedia.
It is a prequel.

Now onto my thoughts.
For those of you who haven't beaten halo 3 on legendary, as seen after the credits, Master Chief survived and there was a mysterious blue planet behind his ship/pod and at the end of the scene the edge of the planet rotated around and was highlighted by a fierce blue of which many theories have been speculated. Now during the reach trailer at the end of the scene, the same blue effect happened at the edge of the planet. Obviously this is a link between the two, and I'm guessing the planet is reach at the end of Halo 3, and thats why it was blue, because the covenant, semi glassed the planet. (they didn't glass the whole planet because they wanted to retrieve an artifact that would increase the speed of slipspace jumps tenfold which was later destroyed when the chief was escaping from an asteroid by an odst who died destroying the artifact). So I'm guessing either it was a hint to the new prequel reach, and they're actually ending the series timespan at halo 3 (which I highly doubt) or its going to be a new game and chief is going to the underground shrine or something I don't know. Might do something to save the spartans trapped in the bubble with Dr.Halsey depending on public reactions to them in reach. So Bungie is either going to do four things:
1. Do new halo's after reach(they said they'd do no more halo games but obviously lied since they're doing reach) in which chief fights new enemy probably flood or discover forerunners I don't know.
2. Allow another microsoft company to do halo and start a new series which we would all love like halo.
3. Split up company and have a quarter due Reach expansions, a quarter work on new halo, a quarter work on new series, and a quarter work on developing transition to new console.
4. Start a 70's sitcom in which Bungie would use to control our minds and take over the world feasting on conquered brains and enslaving Rick Roll to do an never ending dance for their amusmant.

This is all speculation. Anything to add?

Yes indeed the planet MIGHT be Reach. He didnt travel back in time or something... Altough he might land on it in game which takes place AFTER Halo 3 events. Land and fix his ship... Or maybe find a working longsword. Or maybe find another deeper forerunner artifact which could bring him to another strucrute, maybe the Ark Portal. (In earth, the portal which leads to the Ark) Its just theories, let's wait.

On the last level your on the ark, which is 25 million lightyears from the galactic centre. And reach is in our galaxy as stated on halopedia we colonized inside our galaxy. So it couldn't be reach because your out side of the galaxy.

ok say it carried on from halo 3 would the covanant be weaker? withut their hirarchs they ar effectivly leader less apart from the prophets home planet that despise the use or forunner tech for knowledge let alone military reasons, so more likel brutes wil be leading, possible a new covenant?

if it is a true prequel one thing i will look forward to is fighting with AI spartans against elites in the mark V armour.

1. Bungie said hey wouldn't expand on the Chief trilogy, not the Halo universe in general. They might make a sequel to H3 ODST or base another game off of the books.
2. I'd love a new Bungie series, but I hope they stick with Halo.
3. I hope not.

Hmm what about a FAILED jump which popped him anywhere, but not In the Earth? Like maybe there was a circularity and Ark Reach Earth was in the same line so Chiefs ship popped near Reach, somewhere far from Earth.

True Spay, that makes alot of sense. I'm just saying that it isn't coincidence that the same effect was used on both planets knowing Bungie. So your probably right I just know that some how the planets are going to be linked though.

The covenant wouldn't be together anymore because the prophets were killed and the first ones that joined the elites are enemies of the covenant. Plus the brutes don't have the political effect to be strong leaders like the prophets. Plus if it carried on the forerunner technology to fire the rings beside the index would be destroyed.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

With Halo 3, Bungie avoided touching on the content of the books, I believe they will avoid the books again (I hope they do not though). So really I do not have a clue as to what this story will be about. Here's a thought: is Halo Reach the final name? Halo: ODST was formerly known as Halo: Recon. So is that planet in the teaser Reach? Why do the Spartan call signs go up to 320?
