Hello everyone here are my theories enjoy I hope.

Storyline

The trailer doesnt give much but the fact the it takes place on Reach during it's fall the main charectars are both Sierra 259 and Sierra 320 but just who are they well let's start with the tags.

Ahem in Halo Fall of Reach 150 candidates were listed for the Spartan II program 75 were chosen among them were not 259 or 320 meaning they are not Class I.....they are class II. Wait hold on a second weren't there insignifcant gene markers for class II or was there :S?

Class II theroy

Maybe Oni wanted a Special group of Spartan IIs for their own special uses like Black Team (Spartan Black comic released this summer) so they made Class II but in secret away from Hasley thus starting Noble-1 of Team Noble the spec ops Spartans. During the fall of Reach they were headed down to maybe check out forerunner artifacts or aid their Spartan brothers and sisters in combat who knows?

Connection to ODST

Maybe the mission Dare is on is to uncover data on Sierra 259 and Sierra 320 their wherebouts etc. I dunno just a theroy?


Beta

I think the multiplayer is gunna play alot like H3 but I think their going to include the MA5K as the main weapon instead of the MA5C/MA5B thou I believe the MA5C/MA5B will be in the game just not a mission spawn weapon.

The MJOLNIR Mark V makes a reappareance as your main armor (Spartan IIs had Mark V at the battle of Reach) which mean Health Packs are making a return. More new weapons probley will be in the game I doubt there will be classes just my opinion.

Why the MA5K should be in Halo Reach

-Because if this is Spartan Class II then they are probley spec ops and secret from the chief and the MA5K is the main weapon of the Spec ops.

Those are my theroies hope you enjoy them

Well maybe.
But if you have Read "Fall of Reach" by Eric Nyuland you would know that John, Linda, and James weren't on Reach as it fell.
But all the Other Spartans (Fred, James, Will, Grace, Kelly, etc.) all went groundside to Repel Covenant forces from the Super MAC guns Generators.
Oh and the 'Sierra 259' is most likely Sierra II 059.
Oh and one more thing.
There were only 150 candidates for the Spartan II Program.

Gahh, there is one more thing.
During the "First Strike" some of the storyline follows the Spartans on Reach and they first Introduced the Battle Rifle.
So what I am thinking is they will start with either the MA5B or the MA2B and have the Sniper and whatnot.
But possibly later on in the game introduce the new Battle Rifle and the Magnum from Halo 2.

I did read Fall of Reach and all the other novels and dont think it is Sierra II 059 since 059 is already taken from Spartan Malcom who died on impact in the prolouge of First Strike.

My bad re reading Ghosts of Onyx right now.

That's true, but Fall of Reach takes place before First Strike.
And seeing as how it takes place before then, the transmission would have taken sometime before they hit the ground and after they left the Pillar of Autumn.
And even though Fred had tactical command, he might have told Malcom to Radio in.

It doesn't seem likely it is Malcom because Malcom was hit hard as described so he probley just died before even getting a chance.

I'm betting it's a Spec Ops Class II because it makes sense now if Fred and the others are included it will only make the game better.

Also I just really want the MA5K to get some spot light in the games it deserves it seeing how awesome it is.

I'd take the MA2B as well it's probley pretty interesting I'd like to see next gen versions of the older weapons.

Well they did have a second Spartan II class which through the augmentation process would have been battle ready during the battle for Reach.
But I still think it's Malcom (Spartan II 059) over the Comm System.

And to be honest, even though the MA5K is a great weapon, I don't think it will be included because I don't think it was introduced during the Fall of Reach, or First Strike.
Unless they decide to let the player choose which weapon variant you start with in the mission or, more likely, have field kits for different weapon variants...
Like maybe having a Weapon Locker somewhere, where you could re-assemble your MA5B assault rifle.
Which would be amazing.

It would lol and we all have our theroies and I like the whole weapon locker thing but the MA5K was maybe in 2531 or somethin like that and used by Spartan IIIs which means it could be in Halo Reach.

Its been a while...so I cant remember exactly.
But were the Spartan III's anywhere near Reach as it fell?

No but the MA5K was made for Spec Ops so the Spartan's probley used it at some point and since it's a new beta with new weapons whose to say if it will or wont be in it I think it's pretty likely in my opinion.

Thats true.
My guess is that it will be in the game but maybe not as Default Weapons on missions.
But thats the just me.
And man, I need to read Ghosts of Onyx and the books after that again. Its been wayy to long.

They were stuck in Onyx. The SIII's were a secret to the UNSC until the Battle of Onyx occurred. Maybe Sierra 2-5-9 is just a marine or spec ops unit, who are escorting Spartans or whatever. Maybe it's the pelican pilot that was transported the Spartans to Reach's surface. All will be known...in time.

Lol ya their awesome and no Sierra 259 cant be a marine because Sierra is the Spartan call tag such as Sierra 117 =Chief get it :S?

As long as the MA5K is in the game then it'll get extra points for me if not it'll still be pretty good.

  • 06.08.2009 12:03 AM PDT

My theory is that it is going to be an XBLA title. I just can't see Bungie making a full Halo game again.

Well no.
The voice over the Comm would most likely had to have been a Spartan becuase the only people who knew they were going to REACH was the Bridge crew and all the Rest of the Spartans. So undoubtedly it wouldn't have been a Marine, or even an AI because in my opinion the Voice sounded too human to be an AI becuase the books say that the AI's had a slight computer generated tone to the voice. And it wouldn't have been a pilot because there was no pilot, the Spartans could pilot the Pelican just as well.

Hmmm...and on top of all this,
The game might be over the entire Fall of Reach and First Strike because if you look at the banner,
The Spartans are Clearly, (left to right)
Sam, because he was the biggest out of all of them.
Kelly, because she was the smallest and the fastest.
John, because, well he's the leader and the weapon of choice is the MA5B.
Fred, because of the Combat Knife.
Linda, because of the Sniper Rifle.

It's funny.
I thought about it before but it just didn't add up.
I was thinking why Sam would be on REACH because he died beforehand...but then after looking at a carefully worded Forum post.
It clicked.
It would be over the ENTIRE novel.
Well most of it anyway.
It would be a really long, and extremely sick if it was over the entire novel.
Like going through Training, and even going on the infiltration mission on the Rebel Asteriod.
But I doubt it would.
I'm thinking it would be just after the UNSC lost HARVEST and the Covenant War started.

Yeah I can't wait for ODST to come out and then for the Beta to come out.
Then for the Actual Game to come out.
It will be like heaven all over again.
Even though i'm sure we're going to have to upgrade our systems to the Xbox 540 for REACH though.
