About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

We don't know, and won't know until Bungie tells us.

This game will be epic.


Now please stop with the unsupported story topics. =)

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The planet is Reach. The story will be about the battle of Reach. We will probably play as "Sierra-259," in which case we will be playing through a new perspective of the battle running parallel to the events depicted in the novels.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

Yes we do. It's about the Planet Reach, and about how the Spartans defended it and the generators.

Stop being a kiss-ass.

The planet is obviously Reach.
It is going to Fall during the Covenant invasion that was one of the starting factors of the Great Covenant-Human War.

Spartans II's are going to stop them, and most of them will die.

There was an entire book about this, try reading it.

Pow! Take that "time-travel theorists".

A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage. You may be destined to become the hero of legend...but your current power would disgrace the proud green of the hero's tunic you wear. You must use your courage to seek power...and find it you must. Only then will you become the hero for whom this world despairs.

Not to be rude but the battle at Reach wasn't one of the starting factors for the Covenant-Human war it was, though, a major decisive battle, but really the major starting factor of the war was at the colony of Harvest, check out Contact Harvest it describes pretty much why the covenant never brought us in as an additional race as well as the first human-covenant contact.

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"

The planet is reach. Or that is what bungie probably intended, not only showing a planet, but saying the name is Halo: Reach.

Common sense is an amazing thing for those theorists. (especially the stupid time-travel ones)

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

It just hit me how pissed I would be if Reach was a time-travel themed game. For one, I wouldnt buy it. I would trade in my 360 along with all of my beloved Halo games, by a Killzone 2 bundled PS3 and then never visit this forum again. Instead Id torture myself by going to the Guerrilla games forum to discuss Killzones lame story.
So thank god it isnt a time-travel game.

You should learn this word.
The world is relevant.

That post was in no way relevant to what people were saying.

Now, everyone pointed out this was a stupid thread and it is obvious what the game is about, with some people throwing in their personal speculation.

yes Reach kinda was a VERY important part of the halo plot that explains how master cheif is the last spartan and how the pillar of autumn got to the halo in the first place. I first learned about reach from the story part of the CE instruction guide, then the book came out, then the halowars.com timeline came out, then the halo wars timeline came out, now this game is coming out.

My guess is that the planet must be Reach, it does seem weird however that you do not see the ships and battle stations (MAC orbital guns) defending Reach, as described in the novel Fall of Reach, all you see is a dead ship and explosions, which I am assuming are the generators for the mack guns. Therefore I think that the video must be from the time when Cotana, Johnson, Master Chief etc comeback from Halo in Ascendant Justice, which would explain why you hear a voice talking about an insystem slipspace rupture and why there are ships knocked out in space.
With regards to the story I think some of it might take place before Reach is blown up, and may go into detail about how the Master Chief got home.
Finally the Spartans at the top of the page looks like the cover of Halo the Fall of Reach.

1. Yes we do, the planet is Reach.
2. It is about the Spartans and Marine trying to defend Reach from the Covenant, but, they fail.

It's reach obviously.

Just wondering but why exactly do you think that? (read your thread btw, big fan!)

I think that we will play as S-259 because he took the focal point of the trailer at the end... and I'm glad you liked the script =)

I suggest playing Halo Wars for the complete timeline. You learn from first contact to the start of Halo 1.

Starting factors? The war began in 2525. Reach takes place in 2552.

Not being a dick, just correcting ya.
