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.

Halo Reach is before Halo CE(Halo 1) so its a prequel, and if there is Flood? Well we dont know, i hope not.

I don't think that there will be any Flood in Reach, unless Bungie decides to pull a "Halo Wars" and throw them in, despite it not making much sense. (The Flood were officially declassified after the events on Installation 04 of Combat Evolved.)

Reach is before Halo: Combat Evolved, so it is before Halo 3. We'll probably get to use Mark V (or even older) armour, but not much else will be different.

I wish I was still legendary.

It's definitely possible, but nobody knows for sure.

  • 08.30.2009 6:46 AM PDT

I hp[e not, it would be cool and all but would butt**** the Halo canon

Kill One, Your A Murderer. Kill 10, Your A Monster. Kill 100, Your A Legend. Kill Them All, Your A God.

Flood will probably not be in this game. This game is before halo 1, and halo 1 is where the UNSC first discovered the flood so reach will not have it. Fall of reach didnt have gravemind or anything. So no, no flood.

i think that there will be even mark IV armour, that armour wears spartans in halo wars.
I dont really know when it is but i know its before halo wars ( i dont read the books)

I think we should be able to place forge bots using a map editor similar to Far Cry 2's, but we should not encounter them in campaign.

  • 08.30.2009 8:15 AM PDT

It's clear Reach takes place before Halo 3. This is when the U.N.S.C. still had more than one Spartan.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Halo Wars is non cannon seeing as the flood were discovered in Halo Combat Evolved, and Reach is after Halo Wars, before Halo.

Resignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow.
Defeat is merely the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved...but you imposed.

The flood shouldn't be there. It would go against the established story.

Did you even play it?
At the end of Halo Wars the Crew can't return home, and so never tell any other human about the Flood. And it is canon. Its story sucks anyway. :()

And insofar as the Covenant side goes, it is actually known that the Covenant were aware of the existance of the Flood and some of its properties for some time. They had encountered smaller pockets of Flood Infestations here and there in the past. This has been a known fact since Halo: Combat Evolved came out.

Well, maybe not known, since people think that the Covenant have paraded around the galaxy looking at forerunner ruins and never once found one of the many infected ruins that actually pockmark the galaxy until Alpha Halo.

Reach was glassed just as the Pillar of Autumn jumped to the First Halo Ring to start Halo CE. The Flood from the Spirit of Fire was destroyed along with their homeworld. I believe it will take us back to the beginnings of the Spartan II project, take us through the First Covenant vs. Spartans fight, Sam's Death, all the way to when you jump away from Reach. You will start with the Mark IV armor, the armor with no sheilds, all the way to the Mark V and John becoming in sync with Cortana.

Also, I believe the Spartans in the Picture are as Follows:
Will: Big guy, in the book he sometimes used big weapons.
(Not to be confused with Sam, since he loved Explosives, not weapons.
Kelly: Really Fast, probably would use Lighter Armor
John: Remember on Halo CE how he alwys ended up with a MA5B Assault Rifle?
Fred: In "The Fall of Reach" Fred twirled a knife at super speeds. The Spartan is holding a Knife.
Linda: In the books, she was always the Team's Sniper. The Spartan is holding a Sniper Rifle.

Glad to be of some Help!!!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Well, I would like to put a signature here, but I can't think of anything interesting and creative...?

The UNSC didn't discover or hear of Flood untill they found the first Halo. And this takes place before that, so I don't think we'll see any slime in this game.

I wanted a gumball so I said "Yo devil you got change for a soul?"Satan appeared and said "Yeah, yeah mosuckra! I got yo change right here just sign this contract and I'll give you your quarters!" So I signed it, lost my soul, and got 4 quarters. I have never regretted this decision.


I make coups, they are fun to make. Want me to make you one? Just ask I'll see what I can do.

Exactly. Plus the things were annoying as hell.

We don't know if the Flood were declassified after the events of Halo 1. It was never stated that.

The PoA does go through events from August 30 (Reach invaded and falls) until September 22 (end of Halo 1), but in "real time" everybody not effected by the Forerunner crystal (i.e. anyone not near the PoA/Chief/Halo) when it was September 22 in the Chief's time-dilated reality, it was September 7 in the "real" reality.

This is due to time dilation. Since light is the theoretical fastest speed, the closer to the speed of light you travel, the slow time occurs for you. This was demonstrated by an experiment which flew an atom on each of a pair of planes which flew at different speeds. The one on the faster plane's "atomic clocK" was now older than the one on the slower plane (further from the speed of light).

So Chief was basically the atom on the faster plane in Halo 1. The clocks onboard all registered September 23, but that was just an illusion of time dilation. The "slow clock" of reality read September 7.

Don't know how well I explained that. Another example is the "Room of Spirit and Time/Hyperbolic Time Chamber" from Dragonball Z. They train inside of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and train for a full year within, encased in a field of some time-dilating effect. On the outside world, only a day goes by.

So the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is Halo and the surrounding space, and the Outside World is the rest of the Galaxy. So, in a sense, Halo REACH will probably be running before, during, and possibly after Halo 1.

So even if the Flood were declassified after Halo 1 (don't know where this was stated) they can still be in Reach because we don't know how long the game will run in terms of the canon. Maybe it starts out on August 30 and we continue on missions which occur over 3-7 days.

Will: Big guy, in the book he sometimes used big weapons.

His height was never hinted at in the novels. His speciality wasn't "big weapons," it was hand to hand (melee) combat, as he proved when he became the first known anything (including Spartan) to kill a Hunter in hand-to-hand combat (Ghosts of Onyx).

Kelly: Really Fast, probably would use Lighter ArmorShe's on the cover of Ghosts of Onyx in her Reach-era Mk V armor and she looks almost identical to the Chief from Halo 1. Not slimmer.

John: Remember on Halo CE how he alwys ended up with a MA5B Assault Rifle?Remember in the novels how all known Spartans except Linda always ended up with a MA5B Assault Rifle?

Fred: In "The Fall of Reach" Fred twirled a knife at super speeds. The Spartan is holding a Knife.He didn't twirl the knife at high speeds. He wasm essing around with a knife. He was never said to be above average at using a kknie.

Linda: In the books, she was always the Team's Sniper. The Spartan is holding a Sniper Rifle.Who says we're going to be playing as Blue Team? Certainly the other Spartan squads were made of special classes like John's was (Sniper, Scout, Explosives, Assault, etc.)
