Subject: Newish Theory, There will be a BR in Halo: Reach

Now this may have been posted in one of the long theory threads but i haven't checked.

Here goes.

I have just finished the first three books and they are a good read. I feel that the halo reach title has been somewhat misleading due to a book being called the "fall of reach". I believe that bungie wants the ability to work within as few constraints as possible and that to me means not following the story line of a book.

Now in the book "The Fall of Reach" a group of spartans is sent to Reach to do some Dirty aka clean house. Master Chief is part of another group that is not sent to the planet. It is my theory that our new game will be based on the events that happen on Reach while the master chief is away sticking it to the man on the ring planet halo. The BR does make an appearance on the planet Reach so i believe at some point it will make an appearance in the game.

I personally hope the game includes some of master chief before he leaves and some of the events on Reach when he returns to give his fellow spartans some much needed help in leaving Reach.

My personal hope is that Halo Reach is based on the book "The First Strike" as i think it would make a compelling campaign, It does include the BR, as well as, getting to shoot at both Elites and Brutes with no Flood.

Anyhow that's my theory and its got legs baby!!

P.S. the search bar is the biggest pile of garbage is the history of ever!! I refuse to use it.

P.S. Can't there be another alien species united with the convenient that we can fight in this new game.

I see you put a lot of time and thought into this post. I haven't read the books so i can't back up your ideas, but i don't think they can add another alien species unless they get wiped out near the end of reach. Your a supporter of the BR :D Go You! I'm sick of all the noobs complaining about it being in the game.

Just finished reading Contact Harvest, and there are BR's in it. Why shouldn't their be any in REACH?

Fortune favors the Bold

In contact reach they are "prototypes". They make an appearance in First Strike because they are on the fringe of productions

They were "prototypes" 27 years before the battle for Reach. I think it is possible for them to make an appearance in Halo: Reach.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

Well look at a close up of the group of Spartans and the middle one or John looks like he is holding a BR or some sort of similar design.

That's just it, I don't necessarily believe that John is in the picture. I think this game may not include Spartan 117 at all. Maybe just as a cut seen. as in my OP I hope the game sticks to the story of "First Strike" that will be so much win for all.

I know people are passionate about this whether its BR or no BR. I just don't see how Bungie can take out this weapon. It is so central to much of the game play in MM. Even if they did take out the BR they would have some sort of weapon that pretty much did what the BR does. I know I'm going to catch hell for this but the H:CE pistol and the BR are essentially the same thing or at least intended to be used in a similar way. I think that bungie felt after CE that a long range pistol was a bit silly and thus we have the BR.

thanks for virtual pat on the back. I'm sure someone will shoot a hole in my theory but to me it just makes sense that this is a good place for Bungie to fill out a story and make a game. It would include some different terrain due to the Cov glassing much of the plannet.

  • 07.14.2009 10:27 AM PDT

too right

also the BR is a brilliant weapon and I honestly don't see why it wont be in reach

that being said, they MIGHT (just might) replace the BR with the CE pistol as they are going to do in ODST (might...I'd rather have the BR)

your going to make me go completely off topic now. I love the BR and very much dislike the AR (mostly because I'm bad with it). My biggest hope in the MM in Halo: Reach is that they don't do what every body wants "balance the weapons".

Am I the only one who feels that this Weapons balance thing has taken some of the fun from the game? I wish the sword had its dominate lunge but still looses to the shotty. I love the new needler because it dominates and is over powered. I feel more weapons need a little uniqueness to them that makes them powerful in their own way and you need to get a countering weapon to stop the madness.

Just remember, killing the sword guy on midship in h2 was just like getting an overkill.

halo reach will be based on the fall of reach. how do i know this? because on the halo reach page on bungie.net it says "falls 2010." and thats exactly what happened to reach. it fell under the covenant attack.

the br should be in halo reach because reach is a big military planet with lots of guns. the br is not in halo ce because the pillar of autumn was either not equipped with br's or its cache of br's was destroyed.

people who say they dont want br are just noobs who cant aim 4 headshots in a row so they just buzz out a few nooby ar rounds and then melee. you know its true deep down inside

Well I know that; I just cannot stand burts fire for online play, it's so inconsistent. I want the Halo 1 Pistol back, but as a 5 or 6 headshot kill instead of 3.

At the time the Battle Rifle was only a prototype,but yes it is possible that it will be in the game.

"Be Prepared and Semper Fi do or die"

The game is going to likely follow the book fall of reach, very good book, Also the BR didn't appear untill first strike.

The game is more likely to follow First Strike than The Fall of Reach. Check out the trailer.

Your missing the point. I know that Reach Falls, but i believe that the game will take place when the group of spartans is deployed to the planets surface. This takes place at the very end of the book "The Fall of Reach" and their missions is largely untold. You get to pick up at the very end of the spartans mission in the book "First Strike" and follow them until master chief saves them from sure death.

My point is this the trailer states that "we have spartans on the ground" that happens at the very end of the book when the cov glass the planet as is shown in the trailer. I firmly believe that the game will cover the three week ( i think but im not sure) time frame that Chief was blowing up Halo.
