I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.
i really do not understand why the halo story is confusing you guys. Im seeing arguments that go so far as to somehow confuse the Halo Wars Arbiter with the Halo 2 Arbiter, and just in general how big a deal the community is making out of such a simplistic, yet amazing, overall story.
The Arbiter from Halo Wars will have nothing to do with Halo: Reach.
The Arbiter from Halo 2 and Halo 3 was present at Reach as it was being destroyed.
Arbiter-"There was only one ship."
Prophet- "One? Are you sure?"
Arbiter-"Yes, they called it, The Pillar of Autumn."
Prophet-"Why was it not destroyed with the rest of their fleet?!?"
Arbiter-"It fled, as we set fire to their planet, but i followed with all the ships at my command."
That was from the beginning of Halo 2. Now that its proven that the Arbiter was at least present at the destruction of Reach, the only question is whether Bungie will somehow give the Arbiter a cameo appearance in Halo: Reach to please the fans of the Arbiter's story branch that some people for some reason did not like or somehow did not understand, regardless of how easy to understand the Arbiter's story actually is and how easy to understand Halo 2 and Halo 3's story is too.
