Ugh..

Uhm, Okay, I haven't watched it that many times, but if there was a ring in that star system, don't you think the humans would have found it when they first got into that system?

Also, the planet in Halo CE was called Treshold. Titan is a moon around Jupiter, or Saturn, don't remember which one.

It's probably just a solar effect.

I just rewatched the trailer and it does not look like it, however there is something that caught my eye, right around when it says "Falls 2010" look at the upp right hand corner above the sun, it looks like theres something there.

you guys are all confusing your lefts with your rights, in the OP it says the planet is in the top left, it's not, and you, Gdude, said that whatever it is was in the top right, and it's in the top left. Also Gdude, i saw that, but i don't think it's anything. And ya, there is no ring above that planet.

I don't think you are right, and for the following reasons:

1. If a halo was that close to Reach, the UNSC would have already been on it and studying everything they could with it, therefore no one would have been surprised by the Halo they found while fleeing from Reach.

2. It actually looks more like the atmosphere effect that can seen around reach as well.


sorry dude, nice try though

  • 08.07.2009 9:18 AM PDT

Bungie would not have put it in if it was something else

Jury, take a screenshot on you computer, circle the ring in paint, upload it on imageshack.us... because I don't see what you're talking about...

From an astronomical viewpoint, that planet is either rediculously big; as large as our sun in comparison to Reach, or rediculously close. It woulld be only two or three times the distance of our moon from Earth, and that's not naturally occuring. In short, that planet could be Titan, but that'd mean the ring is bigger than Titan. also, it's moon would be large enough to be a planet.
This COULD all be a fluke in detail made by bungie, but I doubt it.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I saw what you are talking about, but the ring is too big. That one looks like it would surround the planet...

And for the guy up there above me, the (a) Moon is the Moon of Reach, not the other planet, it would have it's own Moon(s)

Anyway, the ring, it looks thin, but I think it is just a planetary ring the way it kind of surrounds the planet.

Yes, I paused it on my xbox so I can see it clearly, if you look closely, you can see that it is just a regular planetary debris ring, it just happens to be a great deal thinner than Saturn's.

That looks like an arc of atmosphere coming off of Reach to me... same color as the stuff on Reach.

No, it follows the planet, it does not follow Reach's movements.

Try downloading the trailer to your 360, so you can get a nice High Quality look.

Reach Trailer

I actually just noticed at around 0:26-0:32 when he says "Reading multiple pings below the Orbital Defense Grid." A Marathon emblem in the cloud formation appears near the bottom right corner. It is a little faint, it was easier to spot on my xbox.

Also, at 0:37. You can't tell me those two ocean-side cities don't look like Forerunner symbols.

It is too high on the planet to be a planetary ring. Plantary rings center themselves around an equator. This one would be at approximately 30 degrees north or so judging on its location


Its possible your looking at it wrong, sure, it wouldn't make sense if the left side was in front of the planet, but you can't really tell can you, what if the RIGHT side is in front? then it will be centered out.
