yeah... sorry but not time travel bro...

The covenant left reach partially unglassed because they wanted a forerunner artifact beneath the surface.
QTF. As some other posts on this thread have said, the game is a PRE... Not Afterward. Time travel would be impossable and frankly say "Suck it fans." as we would want a PRE not AFTER with the Mark VI armored Chief... We've seen enough Chief destroying everything... time we see what happened BEFORE.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The Forerunner Crystal did cause time travel. MC&co transited from September 23rd to September 7th when they jumped from Threshold to Epsilon Eridani with the Ascendant Justice.
They got rid of that crystal in First Strike becuase the Covenant wouldn't stop following them.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

I don't see how any of the OP's thoughts lead anyone to believe that time travel played a part in this. You gotta remember the time lines, the events on Reach didn't go on pause while MC was stuck on Halo, they were playing out. MC returned to Reach after the Covenant had already glassed a portion of the planet, and discovered surviving Spartans.

The comments in the trailer make perfect sense with what happened towards the end of the Fall of Reach. There were several in system slipspace ruptures when the Covenant showed up and there were several pings below the orbital defense grid because a frigate snuck towards one of the poles and deployed drop ships while the main force distracted the UNSC defensive line.

Keyes discovered the secret op, the ship was blown away, but several ground forces made it down, which is why the Spartans were deployed in the first place, to prevent the destruction of the planet-side reactors that powered the orbital platforms.

There is no time travel.

Time Travel is the newbiest plot device used in science fiction. It's the refuge of the lazy story teller.

I would no sonner accuse Bungie of integrating time travel into their story line than I would accuse them of having innapropriate relations with their own mothers.

That crystal was destroyed by the surviving marine was it not? The one that was into the chick they found? I have to re-read First Strike, it's been awhile.

We should know better, because we are better.

There is no time travel! Reach is only a prequel! No crazy time travel theory!

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

No. This has been discussed and disproved MANY TIMES.

1) The "space rupture" is a slipspace opening that Covenant ships are jumping out of, and the half of the Frigate that the Chief is in NEVER WENT THROUGH A PORTAL!!! The reason it got cut in half is because the portal closed as the Frigate was moving through it, cutting it off like a stream of water and a valve.

2) There were MANY Spartans on Reach....

3) Most of the Spartans on Reach would have Assault Rifles along with other gear of their choice, they are standard issue weapons.

Actually, some form if time travel does happen in FS. The Crystal -blam!-s the universe up.


The crystal caused time to move at a different rate, which would be time dilation not time travel.

AMEN

The Crystal was destroyed, but this is the Fall of Reach! Before FS! And it was destroyed before the 23rd, meaning that it can pull stuff from the future.

Note: I do not believe that there is any form of time travel in H:R. I'm just stating some facts.

Of course, there's we don't even know for sure if the crystal even caused and real time travel. The effects can be explained just as well by by time dilation.

If I stop arguing with you, it doesn't mean that you win. It means that I don't have the time or energy to keep arguing with you. Get over yourselves.
