spartans are halo characters that were hand picked a trained to be elite fighters and the best there were originally like 50 or so spartans and MC was the best they trained since they were kids MC stepped up and became team leader young... all the spartans but 4 died or were injured to were they were paralyzed...

the flood are aliens that piss me off in H1

xXx LiFe SuCkS gEt A rOpE xXx ={^.,,.^}=

so they r normal people?
just with bad ass armor?
or r they super solders like caption america?

oh & so they r born not made.

so there r 4 more spartans @ the end of halo 3 besides MC?
& they r paralyzed correct?

so who made the rings?
us or the COV or wht?
& i rember somthing & it may hav ben me miss hearing things but that little floating death ball said somthign that sounded like we where a part of the people who made the rings or somthing.

wht r the flood?
wht happend in all these books?
is there some race or anything out there that could end up giveing us more games?

& since the rings r called halos does thta mean the peopel who made them looked like angels? (that would be cool).

Here's the story as far as I can tell. halo 1/2/3 are based 200 years before marathon... *spoilers* At the end of halo 3, everyone thinks master chief is dead and proclaim him a legend/hero, and everyone he cares about is dead or already with him (cortana) and he gets frozen... spartens can be frozen like that in time for a very very long time... so perhaps halo: Reach will show us that Master Chief is actually the hero from Marathon, a "Reach" through time... if you will. That planet that he shows up/wakes up for at the end of 3 looks an awful lot like marathon... not to mention it has the marathon symbol on it. Food for thought ;)

blarg.

D'you reckon that we will switch between each character during different parts of the game?

  • 09.26.2009 3:58 AM PDT

~Z~

Ok, lemme try to explain.

The "people" who made the Halo rings were called the Forerunner. They made the rings to contain the Flood, and research them. The rings were also made to destroy the flood if neccisary, but the only way of doing that was to destroy the floods food, which is anything that was living.

The covenant believed the the Halo rings to be a weapon to destroy the flood directly, which was not the case. And the covenant don't really hate us as much as you may think, its mostly the prophets whom influence the rest of the covenant to hate them. The reason the covs want us dead is because thier leaders, the prophets, say so. they say this because once they figured out what the humans were, Forerunner decendents, or those chosen by the Forerunner to secure the rings and ark once again (take your pick of the theories) they realized that the humans went against thier religion, which involved all Forerunner, and decendants etc. being dead. so they ordered thier army to destroy the humans, without fully telling them why, as to keep them on thier side.

As for the spartans, the spartans were both made and born. The spartan II canidates were chosen based off of physical requirements compiled by Dr. Catherine Hasley. All about 200 of them were kidnapped at about the age of 7 (yes another 7 reference) and were rigourosly trained. After some time they were biologically augumented to increase basically everything about them. They were given the armor because they were the only ones who could handle wearing it. In the demonstration of the armor, a marine was wearing just the arm of the armor and was told simply to think of moving his arm. when he did this, his arm moved so quickly do to the armor's power, it broke.

Most of the spartans were dead by the time Reach was glassed, but not just Master Chief survived.



Hope this cleared things up, if you have any moe questions, don't be afriad to ask.

And yes, it is going to be a prequel.

As far as ive heard from a spanish news corp who spent the entirety of E3 asking every Microsoft and Bungie exec at the show that Halo Reach will be

A much darker game
its a prequel
More online focussed than any other Halo Game
Possibly squad based
definitely an FPS
Will run on a new engine as it is designed to be game rivalling PS3's latest Apps
Will make it out Fall 2010
May feature some Natal functions but is not been designed for Natal currently
Will be bungie's last Halo game
The demo is spring 2010
The game is currently in a playable state but only as an Alpha test
And the engineers are looking into using the DX11 texture tessellation feature

That's about all I can say with any confidence as I've searched the net but all of this could all be rumour and speculation until we hear any of this from bungies or Microsots mouth themselves.

The way the Reach story plays out tends to suggest that the amount of time MC is on the planet and actually would be playable in any interesting form (in a battle) is minimal. But the banner image suggest we will play as Spartans so at the end of the day does it matter. MC had very little showing character in the game as it was and i doubt Bungie are going to get all deep into his myth now the trilogy is over.

Marathon is a seperate game from reach that bungie has made and it was the first fps (it was before half life) to have an indept story (it's a really old game).

Reach was the second largest planet colony that humans had besides earth. So when its destoryed by the covenant it's a big event. The battle that they are running away from at the beginning of halo 1 is the reach battle.

The flood are a species of parasites that use sentient life as hosts (turning them into zombies) they origionaly came from another galaxy and encountered the forerunners (who are the extremly more advanced ancestors of the human race).

Theres a whole subplot about the forerunners who built the artifical ring planets as well as the ark planet, but in the end they were forced to use a fail safe of using the rings to destory all sentient life in the galaxy to starve the flood. Somehow being the annoyingly survivable zombies that they are they survived and started up again in halo 1 when MC (Master Chief) discover and realease whats left of them on a halo ring planet.

The Covenant beleive the forerunners used the ring to asscend to a higher plain of exsistance and want to activate the rings even though they will just kill themselves and everyone else. Thats the jist of it.

The reach game will be about the planet Reach where all the spartans (who are super soldiers that were abducted as kids and were genticly enhanced), one of which is master chief, were created. Master Chief is a spartan 2 but their are also the original Spartan 1's (the ones in halo wars) who for some reason (probley because they couldn't mow down an entire army by themselves) weren't good enough and were scraped. their were like hundreds of spartan ones, about 30 super badass spartan 2's and maybe a few things inbewtween (experiments). Theirs also suspected to be spartan 3's. I beleive the covenant were first encountered on the planet harvest (the first planet in halo wars) but reach was when everyone was like 'omfg! it's a huge mother mowing legion of monsters!' ok i think that pretty much explains it. :)

Not exactly 100 spartans, there were 70 something, most of them were wiped out when the augmentation came, when there bones, reaction times, everything was enhanced, only around 30 made it, and like 5 were abnormal, twisted bones and all.

What I know:

Reach is (Or was) the UNSC's main headquarters and biggest shipyard builder.

The Spartans were chosen among other children, and were abducted (taken) and replaced with identical clones.

Master Chief (John) lived on Eridanus (Can't remember Number or the last bit), and was taken by a Doctor named "Halsey".

The Spartan program was successful until Reach was destroyed by the Covenant, most ships were lost, but in the beginning of Halo 1, it shows the Pillar of Autumn escaping.


The Covenant believe a race called the "Forerunners" were an ancient race who lived long ago. They lived happily, and thought they were safe until they discovered the Flood. They built Ring-Worlds, called Halo, which sustained the Flood. The rings were built to trigger some supernova stuff, and could only be fired from the Ark.

Harvest was a peaceful Colony, and was the first place Humans encountered the covenant, which were Brutes (Oddly).

Harvest was attacked after UNSC tried to start a comm link (Talk to them).

In Halo: Combat Harvest (The book), it tells the story of Sergeant Johnson on Harvest, working with a lady, only discovering she is a Lieutenant Colonel, or something, and they fall in love. The brutes talk to the mayor, the mayor gives a pineapple as a token of appreciation or something, so yea.

Thats bout it, I know more, like what the Spartans did while growing up, The books explain most, especially Halo: Fall of Reach, must of read it like 20 times XD.

Betatesters are disposable.

Yeah, and Halo Wars is before Halo: CE

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

Use the search bar. I have posted this comprehensive list before!

1. It will take place on the planet reach.
2. It will be an MMO.
3. The far left character is an Elite.
4. You will play as an ODST
5. There will be classes
6. There will be an option to play 3rd person
7. Time travel is definitely involve
8. It will have RPG aspects
9. The Halo CE pistol will return
10. You will also be able to play as Brutes

my guess, and a safe one at that, is if this game even plays anything close to the storyline of the book (not saying it will be linear, but im sure itll run with it somewhat because Joe Staten did say "We can't say anything else about Reach right now.... But i think you guys have a book or something." lol) then it will not only span over the events of the attack on Reach. The book begins much before that devastating attack. Hell, we may even get a look at Spartan training. 6 year old MC hahaha. But I'm nearly positive we will at least see MC in this game. Maybe not play as him. But he was definetly present during the battle. He was just running a Space Ops mission. FOr all those peeps who say he was in slipspace during the attack heading towards the events of Halo 1, ur wrong. He slipspaced mid way/towards the end of Reach.

I hope to all that is bungie that you are wrong.
Halo was meant for FPS live action fighting, Not stupid RPG.
and an MMO?
I dont think thats entirely true.
I dono why bungie would decide to do that.
But i guess all i can do myself is sit here and wait.
