Yeah man I am pretty sure it's going to be a prequel. I mean at the time of Halo 3 Reach has been all but glassed and left lifeless whereas in the trailer for Halo:Reach we see much action.

xD Your post reminded me of what some desperate person said.
"BUT WHAT IF THE ELITES COME BACK AND TRY AND TAKE OVER A HUMAN PLANET????"
It was in all caps and I just laughed my ass off when I read it.

well from my understanding the flood have tooken over many other galaxys than the milky way
the flood mainly go from galaxy to galaxy engulfing all like forms they only move to another one after they take over the previous one they are in

all master chief did at the end of halo 3 was blow up another flood infested rings

if you remember that in the first halo game he did the same thing and cortana said 'you stoped the covenent from useing the ring and wiped out the flood' well they came back in the next two games

I see what your saying but I dunno...I wouldn't really like to fight only sentinels and the Flood....That would get a bit too repetitive and annoying...

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Prequel

It's Halo '4' in terms of the 4th game being made under the Halo IP, but it is a prequel to Halo 1 story wise.

Wouldn't halo: ODST be Halo 4, and Reach being Halo 5?

Halo : ODST is an addon to Halo 3, and also uses the Halo 3 engine. So I don't really see it as it's own 'game'

Understandable, but it is still the 4th Halo game. There will not be a numbered Halo4, Bungie has said so. Putting a 4 at the end implies a continuation of a story arc, and that story arc started in Halo CE ended with Halo3.

it comes before halo combat evolved -reach is the story just before cortana takes the pillare of autumn into hyperspace and comes out in orbit around halo =reach is planet where they came from

Signatures are for squares.

If thats's the case, then Halo:Wars is actually Halo 4.

I don't care if it's a sequel to Halo 3 or a prequel to Halo CE, but if it's a sequel to Halo 3 then it seriously goes against Halo's story line.

that is correct but he also destroyed the gravemind while destroying the first halo well as to say the unfinished third one
