Subject: Oh, I get what its about!

Okay, I actually didn't understand what the plot was before reading some guy's post on another thread. This is just my theory, and I think it's legitamate.

The fault with most theories is that people think this game will be about the battle or rather the FALL of Reach which is stupid because Master Chief and Linda weren't even fighting with the other Spartans at hat point. But persons 3 and 5 are obviously them.

So I'm pretty sure this game will be based on the book "Fall of Reach". The game will start with a dramatic cutscene that shows how the Chief came to be. And you're first mission will be your training when you are around 15-16.

Most of the missions won't be training though. They will just feature regular Blue Team vs the Covenant with random battles. Because if you think about it most Halo "fans" have no idea about how the Chief grew up (I'm looking at you MLG). So the game will take place from the moment Halsey talks to John to the moment Reach falls.

I'm pretty sure this is the whole forum's theory, but now I'm just writing it down and letting people who don't know-know.

Here's my advice to you son, its a life lesson you shan't forget.

Some people are like Slinkies. They aren't good for anything in particular, but it still makes you smile when you push them down the stairs

Yeah, this is generally what most people have been saying for awhile. However, during the Fall of Reach, John and Linda were fighting in space above Reach, so they did, in fact, participate in the Battle of Reach.

That sounds great and that would explain Sam possible being in the game or at least the beginning.

PS - I'm a huge MLG fan and have also read most of the books and know the back story.

Ha, yeah sorry I know I was using stereotypes.

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

You could start with the battle of the Insurrectionist Asteroid. You know, when they kidnapped the leader.

-You look like you could suck a golf ball through a waterhose.

That would be cool, it actually following the book not just Reach being destroyed.

That would be a great way to start off the game. And if you read the book the spartans also fought on a few more insurrectionist missions on they way to some planet were they got there armor.

What does MLG have to do with any of this. I also agree that the game should or will be based off of the book Fall of Reach, beginning to end or at least mostly.

Raylet brings up a point often forgotten about the development of the Spartans:

They were created to deal with the Insurrectionists.

However as fate would have it the Covenant made their presence known at Harvest not long after the Spartans had proven themselves battleworthy fighting the Innies. There may be a lot of non-Covenant combat in Reach where Spartans fight against the Innie Terrorists.

Food for thought...
