Alot of people have argued if Reach is a sequel or prequel due to time travel. But I must say it is a prequel. Why? Lets see.

1. On the Reach banner you could clearly see that Sam and Linda are up there which is strange because didn't they die during the battle of Reach. You might be saying mabye there's flashbacks like in ODST because the MC was headed towards Reach in the Legendary ending.

2. Wrong, the MC was not headed towards Reach but to Onyx.

3. Fact 2 also eliminates time travel.

4. Can't the MC be going to the Marathon universe? No, because Bungie clearly said Halo has nothing to do with Marathon.

Hope you enjoyed. Fell free to state your opinion.

Um, fact 2 is not a fact at all. I don't believe the Time Travel theories, but it has never been confirmed that MC was heading towards Onyx.

Bringing you lame jokes, social awkwardness and the occasional good idea since 2008

Number two has never been confirmed, and judging by the light patterns on the planet MC is going towards it is a human colony, although I don't know which one or how far into the future or past. It could be the past, but who knows.

Ok give us your rock solid arguments....

You might be saying mabye there's flashbacks like in ODST because the MC was headed towards Reach in the Legendary ending. Before you talk about the books, make sure you fkn read them. Sam died in the year 2525 and Linda is alive. Also why do you go out and say its Sam and Linda when there were a bunch of other Spartans around other than the ones from Blue team (Linda and Kelly are not the only female Spartans)

Posted by: CaptKrunch 962. Wrong, the MC was not headed towards Reach but to Onyx. Oh wow. I love how you back this up using facts.

Posted by: CaptKrunch 963. Fact 2 also eliminates time travel. As stated before "Fact 2" is not a fact. Fail moar.

Posted by: CaptKrunch 964. Can't the MC be going to the Marathon universe? No, because Bungie clearly said Halo has nothing to do with Marathon. Bungie says many things.

Posted by: CaptKrunch 96Hope you enjoyed. Fell free to state your opinion. Done

Of course its a damn sequel. I guess that has to do with the whole "From the beginning you know the end" that appears in the trailer. Hinting that they will tell you what happened in the beginning. Also most of the events of the invasion of Reach took place before and during the time of H1 (some things happened after when MC gets back)

If you compare the lights to the lights on Reach in the trailer, they look very similar. They have the same circular pattern, and they stop a small distance from the pole in the H3 ending possibly because humans can not, or have trouble, surviving in extremely cold temperatures. But if it is Reach it is Reach well before the attack because there is no fire, and there is not a ship in sight, aside from the one MC is in.

I laugh at how you get so angry at me. I would argue with you but I'm not that immature. Also its just a theory.

I "Fell" free and i stated my opinion.


Also i don't think t he reason you are not arguing with me is because you are mature. Its because you just realized that i just killed your 4 "facts" and you don't have anything to argue about.

  • 06.15.2009 9:14 AM PDT

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

Dude, you are totally wrong! Neither Sam nor Linda died on Reach. That's complete crap, they get off of Reach and link up with John at the big Covenant space station. Then they go to Onyx.

Master Cheif was on the battle of Reach, but didn't go planetside. He stayed in the space battle, where he met up with marines and even Sargeant Johnson.

Time travel happened because of that crystal that was found in the Castle base on Reach. The time warp made time on Reach longer and shortened the time that Master Chief was on Halo.

Master Chief on the marathon universe? That's stupid.

First of all, your the one calling my " theory " wrong when you don't know the whole story yourself and you don't have to curse young man. Also Linda and Kelly and the other surviving spartans hide in a safe area on Reach when the planet was glassed.

You'd know that while the MC and Linda were getting survivors that Lind was shot and killed after a short period of time. Also they never went to Onyx, they went straight to Halo.

Read ALL the books. Linda was brought back to life after extensive surgery in First Strike.

Do you know what you are talking about?

Officially, Onyx is a shield world in it's normal state. When the Halo's were activated, it created a slipspace portal to a Dyson Sphere, Something more or less 16 Light Minutes in Diameter if the sun inside is the same size as ours. After the portal closed, EVERY piece of metal on and in the planet transformed into sentinels, completely destroying Onyx, at least to the point that any remnant would be negligible in size.

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

Proof that it's Sam and Linda? Onyx is destroyed.

It is a prequel, but none of those were real facts.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I'm accepting it as a prequel and hoping it is. Not that Chief isn't awesome, but I want to see a storyline separate from his.

Here is my opinion

John could be crashing on Reach because he was in Slipspace and when the ark blew up it destoyed the Slipspace channel and could have ended up anywhere in between Earth and the ark
