Subject: time travel?CRAZY THEORY!

please read whole post


i was going to post on the other thread but people wouldn't read that so i'll do it here
if you look at this you will realise that the halo 3 ending is the same to the reach trailer but evryone says "but it was a prequel"but maybe when master cheif went back in time when he went through the portal

but what about arbiter

well maybe the ship sort of went sideways when going through the portal and arbiter went through a differant section to the portal?that would explain shrapnel all over the placebut the end that was snapped off they just didn't show

but what about what cortana said about it taking years to find them

well maybe cortana was wrong.like lord hood said she could probobly be a bit corrupted

thanks for your time

EDIT:master cheif might have to help save people in reach battle

He didn't time travel. That theory is retarded, and has been for 2 years.


what do you mean it has been for 2 years

No. It's going back before Halo: CE. The Time Travel thing's just retarded. Sorry.

No one has really disproved the time travel theory though. Alot of people just say it's retarded but even the people who try to put some thought into it still don't have solid reasons why it can't be time travel.

Joe Staten States that time travel is corny

Even one of the formost empoyees of Bungie says that time travel is a hackneyed plot device in story telling

it can't be true because in the novel master cheif doesn't come back through time travel and save everybody is that a good enough reason.


i mean this could of been an alternate to the book

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

It isn't a "CRAZY THEORY!" and neither is it a well thought out one. It is a terrible theory that obviously has no thought put into it other than " I WANT MISTER CHEF BAKC"

If John - 117 went back in time and was at Reach he would have told the humans of the Flood and the Rings and could have saved thousands of lives.

Which would inadvertably screw up the Halo canon from then on, resulting in Bungie having to make 3 more games to fill in an alternative plot which ends with the whole thing happening again. It's pointless and stupid.

heres all the reasons i could think up on the spot:
1. the silhouettes are the spartans you will play as and none are master chief
2. there is no ship or half ship in the trailer
3. in the halo 3 end clip the exploded ark is in the background
4.where is this future master chief in halo 2 and 3 when they are back on earth?
5. in the end clip only the front half of the ship got through the portal before it closed. so if the chief didnt even go through the portal then he couldnt have gone anywhere.
yes it is impossible to completely discredit the theory but it is also impossible to completely discredit ANY random theory e.g. that master chief is -blam!-..! (which he obviously isnt)
but seriously this is just a prequel telling the story of a squad of spartans on the ground fighting for reach. master chief isnt going to be in it. judging by the body of his squadmate james floating in space in the trailer, the fall of reach story is over and master chief is on his way to halo. should be good. they dont need time travel. wait and see for yourself mate

I can tell you that John DID make it through the Portal, otherwise he'd have been killed by Installation 04.2's premature fire.

I highly doubt it is the Ark or the Foundry, more likely a Shield World or the Precursor Rainbow World.

We don't know anything about what happened with 04.2's activation. The pulse may not have even happened, it may have simply exploded and destroyed itself.

The reason a lot of people don't think the Chief made it through the portal is that Cortana mentions that the Halo activation "did a number" on the Ark. How could she know that if she and the Chief had made it through the portal?

Because she says:
"The Portal couldn't sustain itself, we made it through just as it collapsed."

And Guilty Spark states that a premature firing will "destroy" the Ark when in the Control Room with Johnson, and a premature firing is exactly what happened.

I assume you're incinuating that John and Cortana didn't make it through because of that line. In which case, I disagree.
Cortana may just be referring to those who fell on the Ark, like Johnson and Miranda. Notice that the surroundings in the Legendary Ending are very different to those we see around the Ark. So it must be somewhere else.
Like I said, Precursor Rainbow World... Hopefully...

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Time-travel theory is stupid.

Anyone who belives it needs to *facefloor*

You disagree.... and thats fine. We just don't know enough to make an informed statement. My impression is that Arbiter made it back to Earth as the portal shutdown and the MC just didn't make it. The reason why he didn't die is that the Halo pulse didn't work properly as the Halo was not complete, it destroyed itself and seriously damaged the Ark, and the back end of the Dawn just drifted on.

When Cortana says it may be years I think the implication is that they are drifting in space for a very very very long time and that the ship drifts slowly back into the galaxy over that time randomly encountering an active Forerunner planet. My impression of that is that the Forerunner are now active again, emerging from their shield worlds.

This is just my hunch and I know that its not likely.

I like mine with lettuce AND tomatoes

and, and halo 3 ends the same way halo combat evoled started.

  • 07.29.2009 5:29 PM PDT

I like mine with lettuce AND tomatoes

i completely agree
also in the halo books their is alot of talk about the unpredictability of slipspace jumps it is possible that the big MC actually went through time due to an anomily caused by the unpredictability of slipspace
OH some1 just went smart on peeps
