This is Halo you're talking about you know... Anything is possible.

Also in regard to the story of Reach, I read that before the events of Halo: CE Master Chief and the other Spartans were planning to assault a Prophets ship, kidnap one and bargain for a treaty of peace. However, the assault on reach changed their plans, so Master Chief stayed on the ship in cyro sleep and the other Spartans went to reach to help with the attack on the covenant forces. They all died.

Apparently...

I'm guessing that the story is about a group of lone Spartans and/or elites are fighting to survive on the planet Reach and how they plan to get back to UNSC forces and how Master Chief hears nothing about this and how they don't help him at all on his adventure... so really it's all about a doomed team and how they don't help with the war at all and actually do nothing important.

Probably...

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

Yeah im with alot of people in here, that planet at the end of Halo 3 legendary cannot be Reach.
And i from what i saw it looked alot like the Death Star from Star Wars. If is was Reach it would have looked like the surface of Mars after they had glassed the crap out of it.

And when they say 'Glass' they don't mean they put a bubble around it, they mean they're NUKING IT!

Reach is a prequel to the events prior to Halo: Combat Evolved, Chief may be involved or it could involve an entire new set of characters.

I believe its purpose is to expand the fans understanding of the Halo universe, and to let them/us take place in/ and witness the events of Reach.

My troll sense is tingling.

Let's do the time warp agaaaain!

It could be that MasterChief time traveled back to Reach. Slibspace could theoretically be charged by a huge amount of energy like the Halo ring going off, in order to bend the space/time continuum. If you're going faster than the speed of light you could time travel. The Forward Unto Dawn separated in the middle of Slipspace, by some unknown force. The planet seen after the credits of Halo 3 shows a planet with mechanical lights on it, and a blue light on the horizon, just like the Reach trailer. This is just a theory and he may not have appeared there at the specific timeline the trailer takes place.

And that is exactly where most time travel theorist's idea fails from lack of evidence. On what basis can one say that Master Chief is traveling back to Reach but not be there when the Halo Reach trailer takes place? He hasn't arrived yet? but we saw his ship in a planets orbit. So then that must mean Bungie sucks at keeping events chronologically. If you have more concrete evidence like let's say: Halo 2 trailer where you actually see MC stepping out into the cargo area of the ship and looking down at the earth's atmosphere. You see him jumping out of the ship and headed to earth so you know he's going to be there. Now compare that to the Halo Reach trailer... You don't even hear his voice, let alone see him physically... How can you say (not you darthnazgul, the theorists) that MC is time traveling to the events of reach when he's not even presented on the trailer by voice?

If you are refering to darthnazgul then sure, i guess... If its me your comment is aimed at... I will let you know that i work for AT&T as a quality assurance agent and trainer, At my current age of 21 I run and manage my own business, married to a great woman with a month old daughter, currently working on my degree in graphic arts, and drive my dream car... If i am here its because I have done more than others even begin to dream about and I have time to spare while I wait for the rest to catch up.

Simply put I like exchanging Ideas through debate. If you think that this is the basis for not having a life then you have much to learn my friend...

The reason for this forum is to discuss all things halo.... and thats what we are doing... comments such as your's have no place in this thread, no matter how good you think you might be at halo or how high your status within this site is...

UR ALL wrong beat the game on LEGENDARY AND WAIT THERES A MAIN ENDING CHIEF IS GOING TO A DARK DARK MYSTERIOUS Planet it could BE THE GHOST OF ONYX OR REACH AFTER IT WAS Glassed i doubt hes time traveling THATS Y WERE GOIN BACK TO SEE HOW IT WAS BEFORE IT WAS Glassed and chiefs origin thats why they calL it faLl of reach because it was destroyed thats y the say faLls 2010 i think chiefs frigate is goin to reach sorry 4 the spoiLERS

The caps made me disregard everything you said. Please write a sensible and well-backed theory next time. Btw, most planets look the same. They're round and have sides that are dark. I don't see how you can draw a conclusion from this.

Well if you guys want to be technical, slipspace is not just travelling through 'space'. In relativity its called spacetime. When you travel through space, you travel through time (you're travelling through time as we speak.. the seconds count).

Who knows what wouldve happened to the portal's system as the ark was impacted, perhaps systems needed to guide the target safely through spacetime were disrupted and he and the arbiter arrived at the same position in space but merely at different time intervals.

Not to mention that the Chief's end of the Frigate never truly entered slipspace. If it did, it would not have been cut apart from the front end and it would have arrived safely with the Arbiter.


His half actuly "Fell" out of slipspace, so he was in it for a little while.

no, he never entered, more likely got near sucked into the void, and it collapsed as dawn was entering, shearing it in half, and in the process, catapulting them into the far reaches of dark space (the space outside of the galaxies) i think hes been out for a while, but the ships velocity in the null G saved it from tearing apart. and he woke up on the outer rim of the milky way galaxy where what loks like a shield world just happened to get in the way, onyx maybe? the sentinels could have rebuilt onyx after the world activated, waiting for the occurance of another halo event

that or there are multiple shield worlds, the forerunners were vast and spread out among the stars, so multiple "bomb shelters" was logical to use.

soundest guess by me
the chiefs half of dawn is floating toward onyx, the ship crashes, but thanks to the chief being in cryo, he is unharmed in the hardened shell on the pod.
upon closer investigation, onyx is still unfinished, barren and without atmosphere on the outer shell on the planet
running out of time and precious oxygen cortana does a surface sweep and finds an access point into the inner planet. which fortunately has atmosphere, but no gravity, which is why the atmosphere isnt outside yet.
she wakes the chief up and alerts him that theyre on a "dead planet" and tells him of the curious access point to the inner planet and the atmosphere it contains, however, its roughly 50km away, and advises him to try and find a fast moving vehicle to reach it before his suits air depletes.
upon scouring the ship, an intact mongoose is in the main hangar, but the ship is nose down, and the blast doors angle means it'll likely crush the mongoose upon impact with the planet

lol possible first level of Halo: Onyx if it gets made ;)

First off Reach Is A prequel. reasons 1: More than one spartan 2: Master Chief Was Never part of the ground assault on reach. And another thing in Halo 3 legendary ending mater chief is at an unknown planet or Cortana would know where they are.


I agree, and it's nice to see that some posters still have a little bit of sanity left.

I tip my hat to you good sir.


And that is the point of my original post... The Halo trilogy is more than a great multiplayer game. It is an epic story of survival and Bungie is going to make sure it stays that way. The writers at Bungie aren't going to make some lame attempt at bringing Master Cheif back by "time traveling or going back to Reach" if they do then they need to hire writters with fresh ideas. The Halo trilogy and its books are all about historical accuracy (even though its just fiction) think back to the legendary ending.

Does it make mores sense to have Master Chief and Cortana come out of slipspace into Reach's orbit? (wether its the present Reach or Reach from the past it doesn't matter) It's still Reach... Humans are bound to be around... Consider my reference to Master Chief's armor being a badass walkie talkie... either A.) Humans would've detected John 117 or B.) Cortana would've detected incomming transmissions

Or does it make more sense to have MC embark on a new journey? ( I'm not saying that its the case) but it is quite possible that the Brutes might try to bring the covenant back together? To this point much of the history of other races within the Covenant remains uncovered... There are so many thing Bungie could make a succseful game out of as well as a great story and still focus around Master Chief... But time travel... Really?

Bungie has made an excellent job at keeping Halo as a consistent story without any insane plot twist. And thats all the time travel idea is: a ludicrous plot twist.

None of us are trying to flame you time travel enthusiast. We are just trying to predict where the story is headed using "logic". as much as I'd like to see Master Chief kicking some ass again. I would prefer to see a more logical sequel to the story instead of a cheap attempt at making a game with MC on it to make more money ...
I agree. If the halo series were real the brutes or some oter covenant race might try to bring back the coveant with new races that they will conquer to revive there religion.

Slipspace is NOT time travel, it is a shortcut from point a to point b


You are right my friend.

Quote from Contact Harvest, explanation of "slipspace" (It's not the exact words, but close to it)

"If space is a sheet of paper, slipspace is that sheet of paper but it's creased together"

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

So he went 50 years back in time? that would be a pretty boring game.

People suck

Posted by: kNight3353
I keep on saying this over and over again.
I do not WANT the game to deal with time travel, BUT, if you go back and look at bungie's previous game, Marathon, which is considered the spiritual predecessor of the Halo trilogy, one of the main themes in that game is time travel.

That's Marathon you dolt. This game is called Halo. H-A-L-O. It's not called Marathon.
