Subject: Theory: No Time Travel but Reach IS in the Legendary ending

seriously...this thread is getting way out of hand. people are actually getting mad and stuff. Here is a theory that not many have thought of:
What if it is a brand new planet in the Legendary ending?
maybe chief & cortana are stumbling on a new planet that was inhabinated by the forerunners? this is just an idea, not sure if im right or not, but nobody knows about any of these other ideas.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I agree. So far, the only way this theory can make sense is if a combination of very unlikely events happens. The big difference between reach and this mystery planet is the color of the suns. In order for this theory to be true, the sun would have to die out and a new sun be born in a matter of months, or the old sun would have to become a dwarf star in a matter of months. Second, the now conclusive forerunner technology on the mystery planet was not on reach. Either a) the forerunners built structures on a large percentage of the land mass, or b) the structures popped out of the ground. the second option is improbable because the humans would have detected some forerunner technology (even that large of an amount) on the planet of their greatest military base. Third, a new pioneer species would have to travel to this planet and be able to survive in a glassed environment and build all these structures in a few months time. Anyone can say the planet is anything, but for anyone posting their theory, they have to show some evidence that has a likely chance of occuring.

Agreed for a whole host of reasons.

Soffish for everyone!

Art and Halo = my life... pretty much.

after reading all the replies at least this died with a fight, yes the events are too unlikely to be a theory. Knowing the new information and collective criticism from this thread I will hopefully be able to come up with a new theory that more "Accurate". Thank You all for your arguments and input, remember look out for my next thread, it will have influences from YOUR ideas and YOUR advice/theories.

HEY Buddy the MC is not the last spartan. There are 4 spartans known to still be living...John(the MC)-Spartan 117, Kelly-087, Linda-Spartan 058, and Frederic- Spartan 104. ALso, there are 3 spartans that are part of grey team on a mission behind enemy lines to destroy nav data that could possibly fall into enemy hands(read the cole protocol). These are Adriana-111, Jai-006 and Mike-ID unknown. Also, check what u said about last spartan ever, there are still the spartan 3s that are trapped on Onyx(read ghosts of onyx) with Fred and Linda.

Exactly!!!!!! and he goes and meets them on Onyx cuz they get let outta of the shield. Except for grey team back out on some planet.


I dont recall the Chief goign to Onyx anytime

One really really REALLY simple refute to the planet being Reach is this.

If it was pre-FoR ala time travel stupidity, there would be orbital stations and MAC cannons, yes?

if it was POST FoR, there would be no structures, and even if it was 40 years or whatever afterwards, there would STILL be tonnes and tonnes of debris flying around the planet, which much of would enter the atmosphere, possibly making the planet uninhabitable for some time, so i highly doubt humanity or the dissolved covenant planned on rebuilding on it.


It's NOT Reach.

What it IS, is a teaser for the eventual reawakening of MC as a system seller for the xbox360's successor. That's IT.
