Subject: Reach is NOT the "Legendary Ending" planet.

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

Reach = Human colonized planet, with human technology.

"Legendary Ending" Planet = Most likely Forerunner planet, considering the images reflecting off of the surface. But it is most CERTAIN NOT a human planet. "Oh hai, I'm the Master Chief, basically just here and starting all over again..." DUN DUN DUN!

Seriously, give it up.

my guess is that the H3 ending planet is another Shield World that connects to the same Dyson Sphere that Onyx does so MC meets up with the other Spartans and Hasley.

but I agree it definitely isnt Reach

Reach does have forerunner stuff in it, but it is made of rock, when that planet (the one in the legendary ending) is metal. I also agree - it isn't reach. That Dyson sphere thing is awesome!

That is actually a GREAT theory, one that I have somewhat thought of before...

It would be a great way to introduce the characters from before the events of Halo, and then the game following Reach could pick up where the Chief left off in Halo 3.

This is true, but only deep under the surface, I believe.

Nope, this game is most likely a prequel to the original series where the Spartans are still alive on Reach. BEFORE it was destroyed and all but MC were killed. MC and several other do survive but eventually they all die. They will not be picking up where the current game left off. My thoughts anyways...

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"

The time-travel theory crap is just complete stupidity. I'm tired of posting my backup, so yeah...stupid theory is stupid.

Not for nothing, but why would it connect to the Micro Dyson sphere sitting where Onyx used to be? If anything, I would think it would have another Micro Dyson sphere at the center of whatever world it is. Not one that would connect to the one where Onyx once was...Its still a possibility I guess. But I wonder how one could enter a slip space bubble or even exit it...

MARATHON is not HALO. For one, the Pffor attack earlier than the Covenant (2150's, but I'm not sure), but the Covenant are the first aliens to have contact with us in the Halo universe, so these are not the same. UESC in Halo is just a reference, not a "clue".

we dont know for sure that the Dyson Sphere is inside Onyx that was just one of Halsey's theories
wouldnt it make sense for them too just put it very far from the galaxy like they did with the ark to protect it

to back up my theory (obviously not proof)
they are making this game to connect us to the characters in the Dyson sphere who we will meet later so that those who didnt read the books will not just be like WTF there are other spartans

LOL

I suppose you must of wrote the Halo Bible.

Otherwise your thread title is merely an opinion.

Please link proof that the planet at the end of Halo 3's Legendary ending is "NOT" Reach.

I believe it is possible that what Master Chief is shown heading towards at the end of Legendary Halo 3 "could" be the glassed remains of Reach.

Emphasis on the word "could" because I have no proof that it is.

But before you use words like "NOT", please supply proof. Otherwise the title of this thread is contradicting in that you "know" that it is not Reach.

Again, I'm not saying your wrong. It may not be Reach. But unless u have facts that are canon, then you have no idea.

Again, I ask for proof. Otherwise it is purely speculation.

And if you go to the Halo: Reach page on Xbox.com (link in the FAQ post), it is indeed stated that Halo: Reach is the prequel to the Halo Trilogy.

See. A fact that I have proof of. (unless MS screwed up, which is not only possible but likely when u talk about Microsoft).

"It is rumored that the planet in the Halo 3 Legendary Ending is Onyx. However, this is contradicting the fact that Onyx was obliterated, leaving behind only the Slipspace rift to the Micro Dyson Sphere, guarded by trillions of Onyx Sentinels."

Not Onyx.

If it were Reach it would look obviously glassed. Rather, the surface of the planet appears to be metallic or industrialized. Though it is plausible, it does not in any-way shape or form fit into the established plotlines. Not Reach.

Rather, there is a greater solution; a solution that has been known since the first Halo.

"...But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you? We have followed outbreak containment procedure to the letter. You were with me each step of the way as we managed this crisis. Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done? Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. There is no choice. We must activate the ring." -Guilty Spark to Master Chief, Halo: CE.

In 2004, prior to Halo 2's release Bungie presented an alternate-reality-game called I Love Bees to hype Halo 2's release and give a more personal-touch to the story. In the I Love Bees plotline a central-concept is found; time-travel. An A.I. from the year 2552 had accidentally been sent-back to the year 2004. The manner upon which the A.I., Melissa, was sent back is incredibly noteworthy simply because of how much it parallels Halo 3's closure. "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." Some parts made it back to Earth. Some did not. The Arbiter made it back to Earth through the portal, Chief did not. There is a solid parallel here.

Bungie's second major alternate-reality-game, the one prior to Halo 3 called Iris. One of the pieces of content obtained from the Iris plotline was an image called infestation.jpg. Here is the image compared to the planet at the end of Halo 3. The image, which, according to the Iris storyline, is 100,000 years old. It seemingly depicts an event seen shortly after a failed slipspace-jump in the year 2552, the one at the end of Halo 3. The implications of this are solid. Chief is no-longer anywhere near humanity in-general. He is likely hundreds of thousands years in the past when the Forerunner were still around.

(You may examine the image yourself here, unedited without any writing on it.)
