Subject: Bungie might have been telling us about Halo: Reach all along!

Keep the coffee hot!

Most of the theroies here are right... But i still think its a little too soon to make something concrete. But everyone is more then welcome to keep puting information forward. (in my books) it makes for good conversation.

I myself still cant pass down the idea between the text on the start of halo reach trailer
"from the begining you know the end"
And what cortana says through out halo.

The Chief was recalling Halsey's words as if Cortana had spoken them, which is unsurprising considering that Cortana was built from a clone of Halsey's brain. Just because Halsey may have said these things while the Chief was on Reach as a child, doesn't mean that this is a revelation about Halo: Reach. In fact, there's no evidence or reason to believe that it's any such thing.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Those quotes are from the books, from Dr Halsey during training i believe. He's remembering stuff.

The Hybrid a FanFic by Tehface

"Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame. They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory."

I also think that it's background information to the story, Cortana being corrupted by the Gravemind in order to receive the information he wants. While searching for it, he plays through her memories while at the same time trying to demoralize John.

I'm sure it is just a nod to the fans of the novels to reiterate that Cortana is the digital double of Halsey, hence the same dialogue.

So dare i ask. This new game is based off of the book? What i mean is its telling the story how MC became? all of this is taking place before halo 1,2,3? like the star wars prequels? It seems very much so to me. im wondering wat others think.

Call me Daddy

Bungie talks about Reach all the way back in Halo: CE before you even play.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

IMO those lines that Cortana kept muttering throught the Halo3 campaign were to show her fractured state, actually I believe that Bungie said as much throughout their vidocs leading up to Halo3. It is only natural that she would start saying things like that, as mentioned earlier she was made from Halsey's brain tissue, and has studied all that the Spartans have done, specifically her Spartan, 117.

  • 08.04.2009 3:54 PM PDT

Halo 3 totally went by your head than dude...

The quotes were chief remembering his past and Cortana, all of which had been lost.

Basically it was meant to be his motivation to 'finish the fight'

It's not a prelude to the next game, it's a part of the plot of Halo 3.

this is when she actually starts talking to him, however at the start its just flashbacks, like on Sierra 117.

Cortana was made from Halsey's brain, so I think that it was more of a nod to the novels for Bungie's more hardcore fans... because I doubt that Halo REACH will follow the story of Halo: The Fall of Reach.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I have always, since the 1st time i played halo 3, that those phrases were from The Fall Of Reach.

GRAVITY CAT NOT AMUSED
Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

Ugh, for some reason I always get a chill on the back of my neck when reading those flash back sequences.

Anyway, wearing the LE helmet is fun. [:^)
