Now, i am not sayin anything in here is fact, but it is certaintly possible the way i see it. From the beginning you know the end. I don't believe Bungie would write this based on an assumption that everyone has read the Fall of Reach book. Maybe they are saying that you will play as a Master Chief coming from the future that already well knows how this battle ends since he was right above the planet when it happened the original time.
Perhaps what happened is in the slipspace warp at the end of Halo 3 legendary, Master Chief is sent back to the attack on Reach. The past Master Chief did not take part in the battle of Reach i think, am i right? So maybe the future Master Chief goes into the battle knowing he would never see the real himself since he is above the planet. So he goes into the battle to try and change the attrocity of the planet being glassed. and the reason no tails or rumors of him battling there are passed with the other stories of John-117 is because anyone who sees the future MC in that battle ends up dying themselves and so does the future MC.
This would mean that the past MC would live and go on to do all the things in the Halo trilogy only to be sent back to Reach in that slipspace and it would repeat over and over again. So the thought is that MC would in fact return, as Microsoft has promised us he would, but with a twist.
And this also means that if this does happen, Master Chief would never again be seen anywhere past the end of Halo 3. So if he should ever return in a game after Reach (that is Halo even still lives after this since Bungie is abandoning it) then the game would either have to be the past MC in a battle BEFORE the fall of reach, or some game in between the events of the stories in the trilogy. No game can be made after the events of Halo 3 and still feature MC if this theory is in fact true.
If any of u have any thing else u would like to disprove this theory with, please feel free to post it. I will see what I can come up with. Thanks.
