Subject: Definitive proof that MC did not time travel

There are only two ways MC could have time traveled. First, it is proven that going the speed of light, or faster, will make time slow down. This can could possibly happen in Slipspace, but it only works for future, not past, so this can not work. The second way he could of time traveled is by some how using the crystal found on Reach. The crystal was "destroyed" and the only remain fragments of it were in the possession of the Covenant. MC did not have the crystal so this could not work either. What can we conclude from this? NO TIME TRAVEL. I am re reading Fall of Reach and they do somewhat explain how Slipspace works. Unfortunately the Slipspace technology used by the UNSC does not warp time.

Here's what happen with the portal at the end of Halo 3. MC is at one end of the ship, Arby is at the other end. The portal was made by the Forerunners who were even more advanced then the cov. The portal uses slip space but much faster so it is more like one of those tunnel tubes at a play ground, it is very short. The ship goes through the portal, half of the ship is all ready out of the portal but MCs half is not. The portal collapses which kills the portal so MC exits Slipspace somewhere between earth and the Ark.

I believe everyone is over thinking this game. I would not mind if the the game is about how MC and the other Spartans come to be and you have to play through to the battle of Reach. The name of the game is Halo: Reach, not Halo: Fall of Reach. I think it would be very fun to play the rebel mission were John, Kelly, Linda, Sam, and Fred kidnap the guy in the asteroid. Obviously it's those five in the banner.

Remember, this is just my opinion.

You know you are running a hard course when your ears pop during the meet.-me

YES! thats why sam is in the trailer. this game could have the spartans being trained as kids as well as countless rebel missions where sam was still alive.
They can resolve the legendary ending at any point through flashback or after credits in halo ODST or reach without the master chief being in the game (as we know him from halo 3) he doesnt have to time travel there for things to be resolved.

Exactly. In all honesty what would be the point of ODST if it didn't resolve Halo 3. There will be a big story twist to ODST revealing what might have happened to MC or something that ties into him.

Time travel was how Bungie ended the Marathon games.

If the MC time traveled then why didn't the arbiter time travel? Both parts of the ship got affected by the Portal. All that happened was that the ship got cut in half nothing more.

  • 06.17.2009 7:57 PM PDT

Technically only MCs part of the ship was affected by the portal otherwise the Arbiter would not have made it back to earth. So thats not really a rock solid idea disapproving time travel.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

That is not cannon, therefore it doesn't count.

Yeah it probably will have something about the Chief. Especially considering he was at the battle of Reach. It'd be nice if the opening mission was his op on Circumference.

chief, yes. chief after defeating the covenent, no. thats my view

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

The UNSC's slipspace tech may not warp time, but Forerunner tech is what created the portal.

  • 06.18.2009 3:02 PM PDT

I agree with the OP that people are over thinking all of this WAAAAY too much. While I understand that Halo: Reach does not = Halo: Fall of Reach... I think it would be dumb to assume the stories will have any major differences.

Seeing as the banner shows several Spartans and the trailer has a line that says "you've got Spartans on the ground" thats plenty of evidence to support the idea that the stories will be THE SAME but from different perspectives. The book followed Chief as he fought out in space. The game will probably follow the battle on the ground. Its called parallel story arcs.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Time-travel theory is stupid.

I just wish the theory of time travel would dissapear.
