Subject: Will you be playing as child/young Master Chief?

Halo: Reach most likely takes place during the time period of the book, Halo: Fall of Reach. I say this because at the end of the E3 trailer, it reads Halo: Reach, Falls 2010. Reach Falls 2010. So that made me think, in the book you read about Master Chief when he's a child and growing up in the military. So in the game Halo: Reach, will you be playing as Master Chief when he's a child and growing up, or is the series just moving away from him?--(you don't play as MC in ODST and you might not in Reach and other Halo games is what i mean)

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

Most people think or hope that you will play as the young MC for a small section of the game and you will then transition to Spartan 259.

That would make Bungie reveal his face, and we know that isn't going to happen.

Of course you will never see his face.

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

Well if you read the books you would already have an idea of what he looks like. I wont spoil it for anyone, you can go read the book.

But it is do able to play as chief if its a FPS, but cinematics would be a litle tricky.
And im sick of people assuming sierra 259 is a Spartan when the ID tag 259 is never identified in the books and there fore, no record of him being a Spartan. Dont say its Malcolm because he dies very early in the novel and never makes it to the battle of Reach (misses it by about 30 years, so it aint Malcolm)

Doubt it, might be a possibility you play as another child spartan and go through the training. Doubt we'll ever get to play MC again but i bet we'll meet up with him at some point :P

No, because I believe this game will be about the fall of Reach, not The Fall of Reach.

The "Falls" doesn't refer to Halo: The Fall of Reach. It refers to the fall (defeat) of the planet Reach. Like H3ODST "drops" onto shelves 2009, and the ODSTs drop to Earth in their HEVs, "Falls" in Reach probably refers to when it falls to the shelves, as well as Red Team's fall to the surface from their crippled Pelican.

ima say youll have a squad,consiting of SII and SIII because it was durung the fall of reach when the SIII program was going(but im sure that the SIII are protos), and the SIIs are the trainers so thell be older guys who havent been fighting for a while. and im sure thell make a big deal about the pillar of autum jumping, and red team(maybe you aprt of red team) and all that big stuff,(SPOILER!!!!!) and how a few spartans survive in the subterrainean training base(if im wrong i havent read the books for a couple of years so give me a break and correct me please) so in final i think this game will have a lot of things, but just not the MC

Pretty sure that the boy was John, and the girl was Kelly, or some other Spartan trainee. The star chart during the child part matches up with Reach's real-world location.

I think it's generally accepted the girl is kelly or linda. Maybe it's the woman who sent John a letter in Conversations from the Universe? Anyway. We may play as a young spartan in the beginning I suppose, but the trailer is the battle of reach, which is when the spartans are all growed up. Filthy grupps.

It's not Linda, because she had crimson hair. It may have been Kelly, but she had dyed blue hair... or maybe Cassandra. Or Grace. Or Alice. Or Sierra-320. Or Adriana. There were so many other Spartans, we just don't know...

It seems that if they are going to expand on the MCs past (during the Battle of Reach) that they will expand it to the most immediate part of his life; Blue Team. The pic of this squad is a heavy indication of this and I am thinking that Reach will have classes (at least in the Campaign).

Still can't figure out who the big fella on the left is though. It can't be Sam.

Probably not Adriana, she was too busy trying to escape, plus she has an eastern european accent. Good call on the linda hair thing, didn't occur to me. Doesn't 320 have an Eastern European accent as well? Unfortunately I don't recall much about the other female spartans.

Good points... so of the Spartans we know, it could have been: Kelly, Grace, Vinh, Alice.

Yep. John and the girl seem pretty content during the trailer, so I gather they had accepted their abduction and gotten used to their training.

You know John is so lucky he seems to alter reality. I wonder if by hoping he met aliens he caused the whole war.

Wait, doesn't the battle of Reach happen like two weeks before Halo: Combat Evolved? Isn't Piller of Autumn retreating from the battle when they evacuate to the Halo ring?

I think it's John. It seems like a flashback, since the Chief was knocked out, but he looks to his side in the battle when waking up, and his helmet is in place of where the girl was. It would seem that he is the boy in the flashback.

get out of here stalker

You know, playing as a child in Halo: Reach doesn't really appeal to me. It makes me think of those sequences in Assassin's Creed where you play as Desmond. You know. You get to walk around. And look at stuff. Fun.

  • 07.10.2009 1:42 PM PDT

That would be pretty cool! I hope that does happen!
