Thoery.

Instead of "time traveling" what if instead cortana wakes him up because of distress signals coming from the glassed planet. Please correct me if im wrong but weren't spartans left behind? If they never made it off the planet then maybe MC meets up with them and they some how escape?

As far as the story actually unfolds though is a whole nother thing. What if the Covy find "relics" and return to the planet. Just because it was glassed doesn't mean it was completely wiped out.

"Be Silent and Swift..."

Master Chief did in fact, return to Reach in the novel, First Strike. FS bridges the gap between Combat Evolved and Halo 2, whereas Fall of Reach was a prequel.

So it is possible.

it wasn't. my theory is that a group of spartans who were presumed dead (and not confirmed dead or rescued in First Strike) are in Halo:Reach, and this is the story of at least one of them. Since only one of the figures in the banner is for sure a spartan, while the other's are debatable, it fits.

"You must be mistaken, Reclaimer. I've met your makers, and they don't even know your name..."

I'm going out on a limb here, but because the only released evidence so far, the trailer, SHOWS the invasion of Reach, I'm saying no time travel, no return to Reach, but a game based around the FALL of Reach in 2552.

if MC returns to Reach then Bungie has offically run outta ideas...

From the trailer i agree that it will start from the first invasion. Time travel is lame and if that happens then im done with the halo world.

I was just giving an alternate thoery to the whole time travel idea. I would like to see however the way reach fell. Besides it might end up being like Halo 2, where there were a couple of defending Earth Missions and the rest was interstellar. There is no way of telling which direction Bungie will go with it.

I'd still rather play as Master Cheif. He is pretty much the lone hero of the humans. I wouldn't mind however choosing to play as another character.

But back to the main point, if that planet is infact Reach(from the ending of Halo 3) then isn't it plausible that MC just floated back to it.

"Don't you know?...Spartans never die".

I think were pretty certain MC returns to reach via Ascadent Justice and manages to save Admrl stanforth and the remaining 4 or 5 Spartans. (read first strike) the question is if we will return during this game or the next. It would make alot more sense to include it in this game.

"Don't you know?...Spartans never die".

Well im just saying that if that planet was Reach, then what if MC goes back. I believe the planet at the end of halo 3 is an entirely different planet all together.

Halo Reach to me is just a prequel to the events of Halo: CE.

For all we know a halo 4 could be released, to continue Johns story. Personally if the game were to end id rather john die in a heroic battle or the complete destruction of The Covenant. the war technically isn't over just another delay in the "inevitable destruction" to humans.

I think i saw somewhere sumone said it could be Onxy, but didn't like half the planet become exposed to sentinels? I vaguely remember that part.

Either way it would be GREAT to fight along side with other spartans, i hope to see that one day.
Also it would be awesome to veiw the war from an Elites eyes, and fight a spartan, but im not sure how cool that would be. Im sure anyone of us could easily kill the spartan. Plus id love a more movie dramatic scenario. Lets not forget Tarturus(bad speller i know) that wasn't as epic as it could have been.

Halsey, Kelly, and Linda, all survived. They did not "die" on Oynx, they are in the Dyson Sphere.
