NO.

NO NO NO.

*headdesk*

I TOLD MYSELF NOT TO COME TO THIS FORUM.

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN, AND IT DID.

SEE? SEE!?

NO, GOD DAMN IT, NO.

THAT'S WRONG, YOUR OPINION IS WRONG.

*facepalm*

Okay, let's go over this.

First of all, of course the two pictures look similar. You took screens of both planets, blank, with a blue outline. You might as well throw Earth in there, too.

Second of all, how does it make sense for John to have GONE BACK IN TIME LOLZ?

Third of all, Humanity KNOWS where REACH is. If the Ark was close enough to REACH for some piece of drifting spaceship to float to, don't you think someone would have noticed it BEFORE!?

*headdesk*



R you stupid Master chief went through the portal teleporting them to a random place. And I dont even have photo shop so i couldnt of messed with the images.


No, they DIDN'T. That was the point. Half the ship, the half with the Arbiter in it, made it through. The half with Cortana and the Master Chief did NOT. The Ship broke apart before they made it through. Go back and watch the cutscene.

I never said you did photoshop it. I said that you took two pictures, one of each planet, that happened to be blanked out, with a blue outline, and said they looked similar.


Well if you listen you here cortana say [we made it through just in time].Explain that.

"We made it through just in time. Well...Some of us made it."

The front half of the ship made it, the back half did not.

/explained.


Well the explosion would of killed them if they did not make it.And MAster chief said where are we and cortana said I dont know. If they hadnt gone through the portal cortana would know where they where because they still would of been at the arks remains!!!

I started Starori games in 2011.

No one has the right to take the life of another.

From what some people have said they make it through but the slipspace closes as they are in it leaving them in the middle of nowhere(not back in time or in the future).

A. Halo never activated. It wasn't ready to be activated. Which is why it blew up, remember? That's why they decided to activate it in the first place? The Chief and Cortana were obviously far enough away that the explosion wouldn't kill them. The space around, and including, the Ark would also have contained the explosion, making it less fantastic than the explosion of Installation-05.

B. If they had gone THROUGH the portal, they would be on EARTH. There's no reason to suggest that the portal would have arbitrarily decided to send them somewhere else.

C. No, she wouldn't know where they are. The location of the Ark was never revealed. She has no clue of where in space they might be.

Stop being morons and let go of your ridiculous time-travel theories.

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

OP, If I had a chaingun...

  • 06.12.2009 8:49 AM PDT

I know the answer to the portal THING!!!!!!! both halves made it across but the Arbitars half had set courdinates on earth but Master chiefs half was just the back of the ship so it had no coordinates so the slipspace portal just dropped them off randomly

The Didact actiated the Ark, went through the Portal and didn't go to Earth. He always expressed that he wished to follow in the Precursor's footsteps.
So the Chief may well be on his way to the Precursor's Rainbow World.

The Ark's location is revealed to be "outside the Galactic Rim". About "2^18 light-years from the Galactic center."

But I will agree that time travel theories are complete bollocks!

That doesn't make sense. They made it through the portal TO the Ark, didn't they? Are you suggesting that they magically had coordinates to a destination in space that no person has ever been to?

You would realize these theories are stupid if you would just THINK.

  • 06.12.2009 8:52 AM PDT

No Reach was the planet before halo 1. and if you are trying to prove the planets are the same try comparing the burn marks on reach to the lights on the legendary ending planet because the darkside of all terra planets will look similar

First of all, can you clarify what it is you're referencing in the first half?

And secondly, a rim means a circle. They could be any point in that circle.

yo killers, I hate all video games, but Halo was different, special, and will always be the best!! My gamer tag is ryno5510 hit it. ps the books are nasty as well lets get Nylund on another.

How can that be true, when Cortana said it could be a really long time maybe years until they were picked up by the unsc. It could be she is losing her mind haha but if Reach was that planet i doubt they would of said any of that dialogue. cool idea though.

Read the Terminals, I did, took a while but you can learn a lot.

The Ark is approx. 262,144 light years from the Galactic center. Considering that Earth is about 25,000 light years from the center, it's most likely the Ark is outside the Milky Way.

WHICH is true, on the Ark mission you can clearly see a large Galaxy in the air. Probably not the Milky Way but the Halo's are inside the Milky Way. The Ark is a safe heaven away from the activation zone, so logically it wouldn't be in the Galaxy.

So because the atmosphere shone blue when silhouetted by a backlight source, you assume they are one and the same? That's not very good evidence. You may not have noticed, but in the Legendary Ending, if you watch carefully as the emanating light begins to engulf the screen, part of the planetoid's surface is revealed to be laden with metallic-looking, structural patterns; not organic.

Also, Reach was almost entirely glassed, its atmosphere completely destroyed, which in the Legendary Ending, we can see is not the case.

Unless this another freaking time travel thread...

If I see one more post like this, I'm going to kill somebody.


IT IS CONFIRMED TO BE A PREQUEL.

PLUS, Reach was completely Glassed.

I've read the terminals, it's just been a very long time.

And that still doesn't explain why the portal would arbitrarily decide to port their half of the ship somewhere different all on its own.

You would realize these theories are stupid if you would just THINK.

Maybe you should think:

In the after-credits ending, Cortana expresses relief that "they made it through just in time", and then laments over the Arbiter (and possibly whatever crew was on board the damned frigate), "Well, some of us made it." To crush the ridiculously stupid counter-argument to this that states Cortana used the word "we" in a context that does not include her and John: Cortana then "drops a beacon" which she thinks will take awhile to reach human-controlled space for them to be rescued.

If they were still at the Ark, do you have any idea how long that would take? Over 200,000 years. Cortana isn't stupid. Either they think they're back near Sol (but are not), or they're in uncharted space and believe that it is closeby regardless (which is much less likely).

  • 06.12.2009 9:08 AM PDT

Im sure you have next to know clue what Reach looks like in broad daylight. I tell you its similar to earth. How do i know? because they described it in the books. NOT like a giant mechanical world (hint hint ONYX!)

IAnd each one of them has that blue line that is on the side of the planet when its dark on the planet.



Thats is the atmosphere obviously

Think about it, Mendicant Bias was in control of the Ark's systems and functions at the time. Holding up the platform long enough for John and the Arbiter to traverse across them. etc etc.

In the final Terminal he wished to "atone for his past sins" by leading John to safety. The Rainbow World is the perfect place for Bias to show his atonement as it is possible that the Didact is there.

Are you honestly going to argue semantics with me over this? You're right, she's not stupid. She REALIZES that they did not make it to Earth. Throwing up a beacon is standard procedure for ANY stranded vessel, regardless of where they are. If they were anywhere near Sol, why would Chief go into Cryo sleep?

I know, but he is referring to "Harvest"
Atleast I hope so, because "Reach" was not shown in HaloWars at all.

If that's the case, Bias is an -blam!- for cutting a ship in half just to send someone somewhere on his whims. However, you're the only person that's giving me a valid argument, and you're not arguing that the planet is REACH. So, props to you.

I'm tired of arguing semantics with you people. I'm handing you EVIDENCE, LOGIC, AND REASON, and you're sticking your fingers in your ears and going LALALALA.
