Why do all of these people think that Master Chief has time traveled back to fight in the Battle of Reach? Come on, the genre is not Sci-Fi, it's an action FPS. If he time traveled, he would either lose the Battle of Reach, or re-write history and change the course of the Halo timeline. I highly doubt that. Just get over it people, he is going to land on whatever planet was in the Legendary ending, it's just not Reach. I'm sure people are going to be all, "you have no proof that he isn't going to time travel!!" Well, there's no proof that he did time travel either. I rest my case.

Okay, maybe Master Chief will be playable as the younger version, BUT HE WILL NOT TIME TRAVEL!!

OP, how can you possibly say that, because halo is an "action FPS", that it cannot also be a sci-fi.
Sci-Fi stands for science fiction, and halo involves science and is definately fiction.
Also, reply to people's theory's in their threads, don't make a seperate thread about it.

You know what would be a more interesting plot is if MC ends up back in time 50,000 years ago before the Halo's are first activated and the Forerunner are alive. And maybe they are going through their own Galactic war. Rather than this Bull Honky about him going back in time to reach. Not Interesting and NOT fun.

shhhhhhh

Time-travel is not distant from Bungie's previous plotlines. Marathon Infinity was dominated by the idea of alternate-realities and time-traveling, that are told in such an incredible way.

"Bungie collaborated with ex-Marathon team member Greg Kirkpatrick's Double Aught Software to end the Marathon saga with a bang. Released in 1996, MI included a new solo scenario, improved graphics, and Bungie's in-house editors Forge and Anvil. Marathon Infinity's story is much more complex than even those of the previous two games, involving time travel and multiple universes, and although it did answer many questions it asked many more."

Alex Seropian, a former co-founder of Bungie, once said this about the links between Marathon and Halo:

"You want to know how it all started. By the end of your visit you will learn that Halo had many beginnings, depending on who you talk to. But for Seropian it all starts with Marathon. While you were playing Doom, a lot of other people were quietly raving about it. They talked feverishly about the plot, the depth of its world, the weapons, and sense of being involved in something epic. Not the kind of language you'd associate with with Id's violent little number. What they didn't know is that the character they were playing was the very first incarnation of the Master Chief - Halo's hard-as-nails hero.

"I don't think you ever find that out, but it's the same character." says Seropian. "God, we've never said that before, but it's completely obvious. Cortana isn't in Marathon, but there are three AI's in there that came from the same stylistic storyline."


In 2004, the ARG prior to Halo 2's release called I Love Bees featured an A.I by the name of Melissa, traveled from 2552 to 2004. The nature of her time-travel has parallels to what happened to Master Chief at the end of Halo 3:

"When the Deep-Space Artifact created a Slipspace explosion on return to Earth, she was blown apart, with some parts being transmitted to Earth of the present and others being thrown back in time to the Earth of the early 21st century."

Now, with the above said, do I consider time-travel a plausible part of Halo: Reach? No, I do not. I can only feel Bungie wishes to tell the Reach plotline without any of these additional insights. I do not feel they will connect the plot to previous games; but rather just tell the story as a sequel. However I simply wanted to demonstrate that these theories of Master-Chief time-traveling are not that absurd in the Bungieverse.

Master Chief may be in this game, just the younger version. I think that the Legendary ending was put there so that in maybe 20 years when bungie wants to continue halo from the where it was left off, they can.

Spinning a plate on a stick is impressive, but if you try to spin three at once then you'll just end up digging porcelain out of your face.

Come on guys, I wanna pwned your wife and your sister if I have the time.

Surely, Halo is a SC-Fic univers, but Timetravel is impossible in this game.

I think so Halo Reach take the same story like "The Fall of Reach".
Not when John is a child, no, just during the Reach's war, with lot of questions, and surely, somethings answer...

But I Hope the multiplayer beta will be awesome ^^.

Listen I'm going to say this once!
Master chief simply went through a Manual Slip-space and ended up in the orbit of the planet Onyx, if you read the books you will understand the planet is made entirely of sentinels. the planet is a shield planet that was activated after the halo 2 ring was fired. and i believe that there were 4 SPARTAN IIIs and 3 SPARTAN IIs, but they all made it to the core that had basically a halo safe room in it, it is a area that is between space and time. anyways they were setting the story line up for a book i believe to finish the series, so no time travel!
And yes there are more SPARTANS than Chief.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

THERE IS NO TIME-TRAVEL!
