Why do so many people think that the ending to halo 3 is reach? it makes no sense. That planet was clearly metallic and Forerunner.

I agree with you on the Halo 3 ending not leading into Halo: Reach but, Reach has Forerunner structures so you dont really know if it is or isnt a Forerunner planet.

Reach may have been glassed but it dosent mean its not reach. glassed planets are habitable


No being glassed means that uninhabitable. That's basically the entire purpose of glassing to make sure that the planet is no longer habitable. (Note does not apply to partial glassing in which case only the glassed area would be uninhabitable)

Really people, read the books, there are still several Spartan II's AND III's alive, and seeing how this is reach, there are several more then at the end of halo 3. (and if you want to be OCD about it Spartan 2.5's)


Also, as for the whole "those are/might be the same planet," I'll have to disagree. If the Planet we saw at the end of Halo 3 was actually Reach, pre or post fall, where's the evidence? Where is the Orbital Defense System? (Giant Space MAC cannons) If it's post Fall, where are the destroyed ships and debris from the battle that happened before Keyes Jumped? Also, the time between The Fall of Reach and the End of Halo 3 are not that far apart, there would still be VERY visible signs of the destruction dealt by the Covenant. The planet at the end of Halo 3 was most likely not Reach, seeing as it's all metallic/built, there's no Space debris, or visible signs of destruction on the surface. As for the whole blue aura thing, there's not that many colors we can see with our eyes, blue is just a regularly occurring one in space.


Furthermore Cortana says it's going to take years for the UNSC to find them. Reach is basically right next door to Earth and it takes either days or weeks to make that jump. Not years.

It's like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes!

If violets are blue, then what colour is violet?

Cortana said it COULD take years for anyone to find them.

Exactly. We will just have to wait.

did anyone realize that the planet is close to the ark and that you can see the milky way by looking up when you are on the ark and Reach is in the milky way-fairly close to earth- so it cant be reach at the end of halo 3

Hi check out my YouTube vids at M3naceProductions

Anyone realize that a bungie employee(was it Staten? IDK) said that while the books were canon, they could cut out whatever they wanted to and make it non canon?

And there is no way the planet at the end of Halo 3 can be Reach. Master Chiefs frigate was near the Ark. That is about 2 light years outside of the galaxy.

The lights on Reach are yellowish, the lights on the Planet at the end of Halo 3 are bluish and have a Forrunner type design.

  • 06.25.2009 1:07 PM PDT

Ok here's my insert lets just say that planet is reach at the end of halo 3 is it possible that MC wakes up from cryo and has flashbacks to different battles and times which could fill plot holes since it is a prequel. but heres the part that may not be reach since it was glassed that means the atmosphere was burnt up so how could there be aura around it when the sun hits and since there was parts left unglassed those parts would die out because of the giant wound in the atmosphere unless any survivors somehow made a bio-dome.

"That beast has a hammer!"

The music at the end of legendary ending suggests that the planet isnt freindly, like its more trouble. Also, i agree with the OP when he says that you dont know how long MC has been drifting for, it seems like it has been a while from the blackout in the ending. I also do not think that its Reach, because on the normal ending you can see a blue nebula. That is still there on the Legendary one.

I dont know if this is right, but the planet must be pretty big to be able to have a gravitational pull that is bigger than the Arks. I dont think the Ark is destroyed, but i dont know. Anyway, it does suggest that its forerunner because of the markings, but i thought they were all dead. It isnt a glassed planet either, from the textures and stuff on it, so i dont think it is Reach.

And whats a shield world?

Much like Halo 3: ODST, in which we remain on Earth whilst the other games are taking place, we may very well do the same in Halo: Reach.


But there are no games taking place at the time of reach being glassed.

the end of halo 3 is not reach 3 reasons 1 the person in the video said its THEM and the only them that could cause that much damadge is the covenent 2 he also said spartanS are on the ground spartans as plural 3 if they were near reach cortana would have known and wouldnt have said it would take years for them to find out becouse reach is right next to earth

It had the same blue glow as Reach does.[/quote]

It also has a blue white sun and Forerunner symbols on it the way Reach doesn't.

To play or not to play....

The book Ghosts of Onyx explains that when Halo is activated a shield world will open allowing the reclaimers to enter then the shield will close protecting the reclaimers from the Halo effect.

Hence...

Halo 3 ending. A Halo ring activated. The Master Chief was a reclaimer and was trying to use the portal to escape. The portal closed and MC was dumped near a shield world so he could hide inside.

Perhaps this was a safety feature the Foreunner made in case Halo was activated while ships were in slipspace. Maybe they get redirected to the nearest shield world ASAP. Hence the Portal detected Halo 04 being activated and closed the portal rediriecting the half of the ship with MC on board to a shield world.

However not all the galaxy will be effected by the Halo ring that was fired as the rest of the Halo rings were not activated.

My money is on the planet in the Halo 3 ending being either a shield world or the thing we saw in the center of the Ark. I will go with the shield world idea as my best bet though as it makes the most sense...

I think the Halo Reach trailer gives us a BIG clue by its overall theme. It is showing us an event that happened in the past. Hence the game probably takes place in the past. Probably around the time Reach was glassed or maybe a bit before and after.

Hmmm though if that is the case I might find it hard to pay as I know I am going to die in the end anyway. Hmmmm or maybe Bungie can do a trick or two and make Reach special :) .

OKay

Halo Reach!
Plain and simply said in the Trailer spartans on the ground...they were trained on reach
second multiple pings means multiple ships coming out of Slipspace (Bungies version to Staragates Hypersapce)
And last but not least If you know anything about the covenant they dont border large armies of ships to attack a small off side world planet like onyx or even a moon they send 2 or 3 ships max to do that
Multiple Pings means a whole covenant armada slipspacing into the System to attack Reach

He cant drift for that long hes only got about 2 hours life support in his suit so 2 hours max so somewhere in his two hour lifespan he drifted near a planet!

Okay, I said the sun was blue in the Halo 3 ending, and the Sun In the teaser is red. You are wrong. Period.

Watch and learn. Read and learn

Unlucky for you that you never see a sun in the legendary ending. All you see is a blue flare from around the planet, which is due to the colour of the planets atmosphere.

And to Lurch, I have read the books, several times in fact. I too think that the game will at least somewhat follow the book. I am simply trying to think of a connection between the two planets looking so similar. And wanting to find out about the Master Chief.


I'm pretty sure that is a star. How would it be a flare from the planet if that flare extends well beyond the planet's atmosphere? Plus if that was a flare, it would not be as large as that. That flare is practically a chunk of the planet (normal flares would only be small glints). That is clearly a star in the background.

Legendary ending high resolution Pause at 8:00.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I doubt it. I think that this game will be about the battle of Reach, and we will play as Sierra-259, with allies being S-320 (the small one in the banner?) and more unnamed Spartans from Team Beta.

but master cheif is the soul surviver, meaning we would just die at the end of the game if we didn't play as him.
