In "The fall of Reach" he was the same rank, that being that Halo:1 was just days after the Fall of Reach.

Oh and the Master Chief did go to a orbital ship to destroy nav storage in tghe fall of reach, so you could play as him there...... /lame

Ah, to be honest, reading to books is the only way to gain a good knowledge, wikipedia does not cut it : (.

Plus you are ripping off the authors.

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

And that right there is the reason why there are so many idiots making topics about time travel. Read the books or back up your ideas with actual knowledge and then post.


Yes, it is possible you could play as Master Chief but chances are that you wont. Probably end up playing as one of the other 14 unnamed Spartans that are on Reach that we know nothing about.

There are more reasons to post than to bash another persons ideas.I was genuinely curious which you may not understand with your countless hours of careful research of the halo universe -.-

The middle spartan does seem like John especially with Fred to 'his' left. Then to 'John's' right it looks like James because of the fake arm from the elbow down. I can easily see the first level being with the Chief, Linda, and James. But after that it would skip to the Fred going to the surface with the rest of the spartans then they have to jump from the burning pelican. If I were you I would assume that the game goes into First Strike but then the whole game wouldn't be a prequel to Halo: CE. I don't know we don't have enough information on it.

By the way going back to playing as the Chief. I can easily see playing as him a possiblity for atleast the first level. THe normal battle of Reach was only a few hours on the ground until the spartans retreated. Fred, Kelly, and Joshua throwing the nuke into the covenant carrier, the main defense of the ground, then the spartans retreating to CASTLE base. That is definately not enough for an epic halo game.
