Subject: Master Chief returns?

I'm a 15 year old stuck in the middle of nowhere. Machinima director, screenplay writer, novelist, jazz musician, and Photoshop junkie.

First off I want you take a close look at the Halo Reach trailer. Than take a look at the Halo 3 Legendary ending. Do you see a close resemblance between the two?
I honestly think making a Halo game off of a book isn't good business you know why?
Since most people already read the Halo: Fall of Reach paperback than the point of making the Halo Reach campaign would be basically a re run. As far as I know Bungie loves to surprise you so and the idea to them would probably wouldn't be original. Look at the 2 words that can be read on the Halo: Reach site. Falls 2010. Master Chief is kinda ummmmm falling.

Here's the other side of the story. Take a close look at Halo: Reach trailer. You see the Covenant ships in process of "glassing" an unknown planet (obviously Reach) and some guys yelling about Spartans. Whether this is a flashback or the real deal I don't know.

Whatever does happen I hope Bungie does a good job like they always do, and as always we can expect a hell of a surprise (an obviously badass surprise) and an awesome time for years to come. However I would like something different. Not totally different, but everyone knows how things have changed from Halo: CE to 2 to 3. Halo3 :ODST is an exception because it is you still see Halo (3) in it.

Remember,
It is easy to be male
it is another thing to be a man.

i though i would get in before the flamers.

This is about the 5 millionth thread on this idea. Bungie have confirmed that Reach is a prequel to the halo trilogy and is set on Reach during the fall of Reach. MC was not on the surface during that fight. While you do raise an interesting point with the falling idea Bungie most likely meant that as a pun with the release date and the fact that reach is falling.

I just have to say that the planet on the trailer of Halo Reach looks like explosions, while the Legendary ending of halo 3 the planet looks like a bunch of lights turning on.

Flamers can go Build a Bridge and Get over it.....I like your point and Seriously Guys Bungie Hates plain Crap, Obviously there going to make the game awesome and diffirent Bungie always stretches the truth sure they confirmed it as a Prequel, doesnt mean they wont do something with the chief, or Mabye they will just do a Prequel "BUT" they will give us a nice little easter egg at the end, what do you think is the best solution?.

No hes not.

My guess is that MC might make a brief cameo, but I doubt he will play a major role (or minor for that matter) in the game.

I personally hope he doesent show up AT ALL I just would like to see him in the Legendary Ending, so that Bungie can go further with MC & Halo cause I know without a shadow of a doubt that Bungie will finish it, they wouldent put that ending in Halo 3 if they didnt.

  • 07.06.2009 12:24 PM PDT

You have caused confusion and delay.

I don't know what they'll do with this game. It can't really follow Fall of Reach because the actual battle and fall of Reach only fills a couple chapters. The vast majority of that book is the origin of Master Chief. That would be like adding in Fable elements to Halo. They'll probably take the battle on Reach into a lot more detail, and focus less on the Chief.

But we don't know. No one outside of Bungie knows anything. We'll know when they want us to. Perhaps the Beta will shed some light on the campaign (locales, characters, vehicles, weapons). But we definitely won't know everything until it's in our hands next year.

Well you look at Halo 2 the next Halo after that didn't come until 3 years later. I actually cried when I finished Halo 2s campaign because I couldn't Bungie could end it like that :(

Fall of Reach

Falls 2010

See the resemblance?

Oh god another frickin loser thats reposting the same topic somebody else has already posted. First of all, Reach Fell, as in dead, no more, caput, thats what they mean by falls. The book Fall of Reach didn't cover what happened on Reach nor did First Strike. So, they still could make up they're one story. Man, Master Chief is not going onto Reach in the legendary ending and if plus why would it be called Halo Reach if it was just a flashback. So obiviously you have read some other topic and decide you would put up th exact samething, congrats you did. So for the love of god shut the heck up cause we've already heard this a thousand times!

  • 07.06.2009 12:33 PM PDT

I love the LORD my GOD! I am a pretty cool guy, I love to draw anime and watch anime. Highschool of the dead, Blue Exorcist, and Mayo Chiki are my favorites!

the spartan in the middle of the halo reach wall paper is john or you can call him MC.
What happens in the book is that a team named team blue are the main people of the book eventually only four of the team escape reach.
So you will mabye play as blue team and play as MC or another team member.
Dont know why you all are talking MC not showing up or playing a minor role.
Also dont know why you guys are talking about the ending of halo 3, halo reach takes place before halo 3 and at the end halo 3 its not reach because reach was destoryed or really glassed so its a different planet.

You just stole this topic from somebody else. You should get some facts before you post. Check out Halopedia.com it will help.

Dozens of people have posted this topic. It's kinda obvious that the discussions would be similar.

The point to making the game based off of the novel is simple, fan service. People have been asking for this story to be told in other media for years, if you don't believe me feel free to dig up old threads over on the Halo CE forum, believe me, I was there. I also want to point out to you that the planets look nothing alike, both their characteristics and their surroundings.

Here's the other side of the story. Take a close look at Halo: Reach trailer. You see the Covenant ships in process of "glassing" an unknown planet (obviously Reach) and some guys yelling about Spartans. Whether this is a flashback or the real deal I don't know.

I don't know what trailer you watched, but in the trailer i've seen there are no Covenant ships, and no one is yelling about Spartans. There is mention of unknown slipspace ruptures, two instances of Spartans talking, and planetside explosions. Please get your stuff straight before spinning something that has been posted about to death here.

This is unconfirmed, though many believe it to be so.

So you will mabye play as blue team and play as MC or another team member.


Possible, but again no one knows this for sure. For all we know this game could be only about the battle on Reach, which MC was not involved in until later.

Dont know why you all are talking MC not showing up or playing a minor role.

Because no one, including you or I, no enough about what the game is going to cover to say whether he will or not.


Also dont know why you guys are talking about the ending of halo 3, halo reach takes place before halo 3 and at the end halo 3 its not reach because reach was destoryed or really glassed so its a different planet.


I don't understand this either, but people really really cling to this idea. My assumption is that the majority of Halo players only know what the games tell them, and are oblivious to the rest of the Halo universe. Not that it's wrong of them to be so, but it does limit their scope of understanding when it comes to these things.

Bungie cant do much more with Halo. They split from Mircsoft, who own all the rights to Halo related games.

Ahhh, but there are deals to be made. MS isn't stupid, they are well aware that the Halo fan-base is not too crazy about another dev handling a Halo game. While i'm sure it will happen eventually, I wouldn't be surprised if MS works with Bungie on at least one more game after Reach.

Halo 2 didn't just end and sit there. Bungie WILL make a sequel. Ill bet on it.

I admit, I didn't readed but...since its a prequel, MC was never gone.

I know that this game is going to be great, but yes Microsoft isn't stupid. People want to know what happens to Master Chief. If they plan to release this new sequel on the Xbox 720 or whatever its called than Microsoft and Bungie will get a cut of the profit, because people will buy 720s to play Halo 4.

I saw that trailer to, but i think your getting th covanant ship mixed up with the UNSC ship... which has a flare or something coming out the side. could be mistaken for that covanant "glassing ray thing".

But i honestly think this is a flash back because we know MC was the only Spartan in Halo 1-Halo 3, though there would be a point making more spartans i think it would ruin the MC is the last spartan...way of Halo

MC gets called off to another mission (i forgot which one) and leaves reach when the covenant attack.
