Subject: HALO REACH - What it could be.

We've finished the fight but so many have died...

We've left the chief floating above a mysterious planet, perhaps forunner, perhaps anything.
This will be the last game bungie will make in the halo universe, something tells me
this will just be more than just a run of the mill prequel to "show us more' like ODST.

I'll remind you of just some of the hints BUNGIE have placed in the games about the forunner origins; guilty spark's "you are forunner" quote from the end of Halo 3. The fact the SPARTANS were chosen based on genetic 'traits', the innate ability for humans to use forunner technology and the location of the Ark on Earth - all point to humans having some form of forunner ancestory. This seems like something Bungie will want to tie up before they hand there child over to anime making 343 industires and something a prequel alone wouldn't be able to cover.

Now, I refer you to an obersevent individuals posting regarding the banner of Halo: Reach.
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33563678

What he says is interesting but the image speaks more;
http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r337/DueLearner/guess.jpg

He has most definetley identified all of them as some of the original spartans from the SPARTAN II program, including the chief. Now I'm going to say what is on the tips of everyones lips at this moment... we all want it to be more than just a prequel about the young Chief, we want more, we crave an ending where the Chief must make the ultimate sacrifice, truly end this series and close the book.

What If.

What if the planet is forunner, what if the forunner's were experimenting with time travel or something, what if at the end of Halo 3 the chief travels back in time to the The Fall of Reach, just before or just after humanity's first contact with the Covenant. It'd be his oppertunity to change things for the better with the knowledge he has, a chance for us fight the fight the way we've always wanted and return to the places we've been.

What if the younger Chief dies as a result of the olders' arrival, he must put on the old helmet and play the role of his younger self. That would explain why all the spartans are together as a team. The Chief would be able save them from there original fates and with there help finsh the fight before it ever happend, saving all those lives and bringing an end to the story, beautiful...

Now that would be a game and a half...Just saying...

SQUEEBLE

Although this would never happen, it does sound pretty epic: The Chief and Cortana stopping the entire Reach tragedy. But I doubt that's what's going on. They're already planning on telling the story of the Fall of Reach.

Too bad, though.

  • 08.14.2009 12:52 PM PDT

i kno :(

it would be better if they did this though, you never kno with Bungie, it's all about the interpretation of what they say and they love to surprise us, something like this may happen and until i see them outright deny it or until its actually released i wont stop believing...

  • 08.14.2009 1:01 PM PDT

As soon as you mentioned time travel, I stopped reading. Sorry, but that's just not going to happen.

  • 08.14.2009 1:05 PM PDT

i said the same thing about LOST in the middle of season 2 and look what happend...

you don't kno it won't, ur not privvy to information i dont have and u dont work for bungie. u just feel the need to make a statement without backing it up with the intention of sounding like ur more intelligent. the information u do have is the "Bungie said it's a prequel." Which confirms nothing other than WHEN it takes place.

Subject: HALO REACH - What it could be.

yes sure... and lose the beautiful stories of Halo 2... and Halo 3...

Halo Reach is a PREQUEL.
Besides that the story of Master Chief finished in Halo 3, so Cortana is going to save reach??
Why you believe this? WHY?!?!? I think I know why...
We only Have seen 1:17 of the game, that is nothing... but there are theories about the story of the game OMG!!!, be patient people, PATIENT!!!! wait, forget about everything and wait for information from bungie. you will have the game anyway so be patient... this theorie is VERY likey to be wrong, not only because is crazy, but because we know nothing about this game.

When the game comes out I'll make a new topic
" SEE?!?!?! I told U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PREQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " you will see...

the stories of halo 2 and halo 3 are on discs, they can't be lost as they never really existed.
it's not real.

prequel: a work that supplements a previously completed one, and has an earlier time setting.

that is all.

A literary, dramatic, or cinematic work whose narrative takes place before that of a preexisting work or a sequel.
I think my deffinition is better...



Um... WHAT??????? I didn't know you where so cold, do you like the Halo games??
your respose makes little to no sence, if Halo reach was a sequel then the previous games would be lost, they wouldn't have propuse.

REMEMBER WE KNOW NOTHING OF THIS GAME SO THIS IS NOT LIKELY
(this theoiries chances are like 2% )

I actually think you might have some truth to this...Right when you said that i instantly thought of the little kids on the starry night trailer. MAster Chiefs helmets sitting in the grass....and then is picked up again at a Later time! This has gotta go somewhere!

If you think the games have a purpose beyond our own enjoyment then you've got problems my friend. i made perfect sense and who are you to estimate a 2% chance on this wtf?

From ur emotional stand point tho, here is my view; the chief and maybe cortana are the constants in this, the one thing as players we can relate to and we have been alongside since the beginning. Just because the timeline would change, doesn't take away from the experiences we got from them, it'd be the same Chief, the Chief that we've been through everything with, to play as the younger less experienced one would be like going backward.

Halo: Reach could be the final battle, the Chief's last face-off against them all to save them all, the stakes couldn't be higher... or it can just be another prequel...

Does anyone have a bonified source that states that Reach is Bungie's final installment in the number one XBOX game series ever? So far, many ppl have told me that Reach is the last Halo game, but I havent seen any news articles or press releases to back up that claim. So if anyone has a link to a reliable source stating that Reach is the last game, I would appreciate that URL, so I can check it out. Thanks.

HOIST THE COLORS!

Bungie's last Halo product.
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/100/1007095p1.html

343 will oversee everything halo.
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/100/1006580p1.html

it's shame but wat more proof do u need...

  • 08.14.2009 2:41 PM PDT

HOIST THE COLORS, GENTLEMEN!

I see... So in all actuality, Halo isnt over, it just wont be Bungie's dept anymore.
And Ive heard this name before... This Frank O'Connor...

With him in a lot of control, having been big at Bungie before, If anything, while Bungie is dropping Halo, the franchise itself may be expanding.

While nothing is a guarantee, Do not be surprised if we soon see another Halo game, with simply another brand name on the cover.

Btw, thank you for finally confirming for me. It is a shame, regardless of what happens from here. Halo will always be remembered as Bungie's game. Its a shame it wont finish there.

  • 08.14.2009 2:48 PM PDT

343's current plans envolve some anime... ffs

so im not expecting much from them, i also doubt 343 will take the time to allow an overall story to develop, they're more interested in squeezing as much income from the halo franchise as possible without taking it anywhere, simple as that.

Where's your proof?

HOIST THE COLORS, GENTLEMEN!

Lets hope youre wrong...
At this point, I doubt you are, but some of us are a bit more stubborn than that.
Either way, ODST and Reach are enough to hold me over for quite a while, Im still not bored with Halo 3, so I will be fine.

But no one wants this franchise to just disappear at this point. Especially since the possibilities are still fairly limitless on what could be done.

All in all, no one knows exactly what the future holds. And while you make a very compelling argument, and the odds are clearly not in my favor... Forgive this fool if he is unwilling to admit that its over just yet. ; )

Anyway, thanks, man. The info helped a ton. Look me up if you ever need a Firefight buddy.

Master Chief is getting a new game. This game is simply about the fall of reach, nothing more. The Spartans are together because that is where they were.
