Your liver is a slut.
Hey, don't be a zumbo! Join Halo Wars RTS!
I'm right 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4%?

I'm glad this thread is here. Now I can use it as a refuge from the idiocy that's consuming these forums...

Why can't a game company make a prequel? It's not that hard.


QFT!

COD 5 is a prequel to COD 4.




See what I did there?


Haha nice try but they problem with that is that the contract with Call of Duty was stated that Treyarch makes world war 2 games while infinity ward creates games of war for the modern age.

I don't understand why people are stretching Reach father than anything it was planned to be. Nobody knows for certain what its about but seriously, its in the name! Halo: Reach Is about the fall of planet Reach hinted from all the explosions in the reveal trailer. This adventure takes place before Halo: Combat Evolved to the original book name Halo: Fall of Reach (how do people think its time travel or other random stuff when its in the name of the book??) I haven't read the book but I am going to soon. And also there supposed to be at many different Spartans in this because if you listen to the reveal trailer a Spartan (Spartan 259) says that they have Spartans on the ground so that means this is BEFORE John(Master Chief) saved the world. Why can't a game company make a prequel? It's not that hard.
first off just because it has reach in the title doesn't mean it is based off of the book, Reach was the name of a planet. Also its not fair for you to just tell every one they can't have fun with predicting things about the game, it helps people wait for the game. Also its confirmed to be a prequel


The only problem with your thought is that by the cinematic preview that has been released that it relates directly to the book all the way down to the name.

What will happen if he crashes into the glass portion of the planet thought?

\See! It seems very possible and also another question... what would happen if he landed on a glassed portion of the planet?


Then it would be quite slippery.

The ship cold melt (along with him and Cortana) if it's still hot enough. Or he'll just suffocate considering the planet lacks an atmosphere.

All I'm saying is that the name of the game is Halo: Reach and the book is about the Fall of Reach which in the beginning of the preview it says that "in the beginning, you know the end" that means we know that the Planet is gonna get glassed (then follows the attack on the planet in the trailer) and Spartan 259 is in the book.It fits.

  • 06.14.2009 4:46 PM PDT

True, true but remember Reach was glassed nobody is left there that doesn't mean that they can land, rebuild, and wait?

Who exactly is going to land and rebuild, and what does that have to do with this game?

That is also a good point but remember that there is still a biosphere intact and the forrunner settlement underneath the planet. Also if the planet was "glassed" (I'm still unsure if it literally meant turned to glass) it would be cooled off by then with the lack of atmosphere the planet's surface would be cold. (except the biosphere of course)

We are talking about that after Halo: Reach comes out, Bungie's new game Halo 4 if you want more information read the comments on the first page, top to bottom, then page 2. It will clear everything up.

Typo, sorry but he is a Spartan II not a Spartan I so he actually meant that he is a Spartan II 059
(the I and II means 1st and 2nd class of Spartans.)
059 was his ID number

Your logic is flawed, that would make John a Spartan 1

I don't think time travel is as stupid as a lot of people are saying. In the book First Strike I remember it talking about time travel using the crystal they found and slipstream space. I also remember theories way back in the Halo CE days when guilty spark said he thinks he has seen Master cheif before. Which could have meant he traveled back in time at some point.

I didn't mean it like that just that John(Master Chief) doesn't say he is a spartan 2 he just says 117 he is a Spartan II ID number 117.

But by your logic they would have to call him spartan 2117, which they don't

But most people are getting the wrong Idea. Reach is about the fall of Reach, true. Halo: Reach is Halo: The Fall of Reach in game form, false. Most people are thinking that this game will be about the spartans and their history but that is not the case, it is about the defense of Reach and the destruction of Reach, as seen in the trailer.


Yes well that what happens in Halo: Fall of Reach but this is just about the attack and destruction i see what your trying to say.
