I think someone may have mentioned this before, so if this has already been said, I am sorry, the search bar doesn't work.

What if in Halo: Reach, we play through MC's flashbacks of the Battle of Reach, and then maybe halfway through, or something, it picks up where Halo 3 left off?

I don't know. It may sound kinda dumb, please don't flame me. I just figured I would post this to see what everyone thought about it.

Having a whole game of flashbacks doesnt really work for me, or for alot of people, Assassins Creed used it well but it was to repetitive and the fact that the whole thing was a flash back would have made a better ending if it wasn't given away in the first 5 minutes.

Its a very hard concept to make work.

they wouldn't call a game "Reach" if the "Reach" segment wasn't even present for half of the game.

i think that would be really cool and then it would actually show the real ending of H3.

MC boarded a UNSC vessel to recover undeleted info on Human locations. He never fought at Reach.

This is a perfect example of someone who hasn't read The Fall of Reach novel (or if they did, they didn't place too much attention into it)

Master Chief was in space. He was never present ON Reach when it fell to the Covenant.

He didn't fight on Reach. Neither did Linda or James.

Master chief did fight on Reach but after Halo 1 where he took the Unyielding Hierphant to Reach because they couldn't go to Earth seeing as the Covenant could probably trace their ships.

He was referring to The Fall of Reach.
