There are too many different threads posting different ideas, and i'm not too sure who's right and wrong, i know that the planet at the end of Halo 3 legendary is most likely NOT Reach, but it's possible as the portal collapsed it corrupted and sent MasterChief back in time (most unlikely) I'd just like to know what DO we know about Halo: Reach?

We know there is a book, and we suggest you check it out.

ISU Cyclones!

What we know?

It'll be made by Bungie.

It will be an FPS.

Reach will somehow be involved.

Not a whole lot outside of that.

Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the Ark.

Are there any experienced suicide bombers?

Democrats are like slinkies there not good for anything but when your push them down the stairs they make you smile

I highly douobt that master chief got sent back in time I couldnt see Bungie taking that rout it would create way to much backdraft taht something else could be sent back in time but what we do know is that Reach also took place before Halo CE so there wont be any flood and no brutes because they didnt come around until halo 2 but i hope that it is like Halo CE where its like 5-10 on one mabye two because I read the book and they came and it was a complete supprise

6. It's got a multiplayer Beta sometime next spring.
7. The team that created ODST is now working on Reach

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.

Here let me fix that up for you, there were some key facts that is confirmed that you missed (I will add it in there at the end.) Also, I think you made 5 too straight forward. We still aren't 100% sure what he meant when he said that, so I will quote him directly.

1. Bungie is the developer
2. It's one of 2 current Bungie projects.
3. It's been in production for about 2 years.
4. It takes place before Halo CE (IE: Prequel)
5. It is a Squad based game, without the baggage of Squad based Combat.
6. It's got a multiplayer Beta sometime in 2010.
7. The team that created ODST is now working on Reach.
8. It's running on a new game engine.
9. It will be a First Person Shooter.
10. It will involve Spartans.
11. It will have some involvement with the Planet Reach.

Let me add number 12.

9. It will be a First Person Shooter.
10. It will involve Spartans.
11. It will have some involvement with the Planet Reach.
12. Master Chief will be involved (he is most likely the character in the middle of the Reach banner).

In the GTTV ODST/Reach coverage on September 3rd, Joseph Staten gave a little bit of insight on Reach. He said, "It's not just the chief, there's more spartans with him" Joe was then asked if it was like a "squad of spartans," Joe replied saying "It's basically a squad of spartans, but not really squad combat."

1st off: We don't really know that Master Chief will be involved with the game, he was talking about how during Reach's timeline, there were more spartans than just the chief. He never directly stated the Chief was involved in any way with the game, just that there are more Spartans than him in existence during the game.

And if MY theories are correct he may make a Cameo in the first cutscene, and/or the Legendary Ending, but that will be it.

Now obviously the books dont mean anything. The game doesnt have to follow the Book. But if it does than the Master chief wont show up till near when they leave Reach for good.


Im thinking its more likely you might play as Fred, who was leading the operation to protect the Shield Generators on Reach.


The Master Chief was off on Halo while the rest of hte Spartans were on Reach.

Well, it kind of does have to play by the books rules. If they said "The book is wrong" Than congrats, Bungie becomes a god who can change the Halo universe at will, which they can't, or the universe would lose it's appeal to many, many fans.

BUT That doesn't mean the game can't have nothing to do with the book, it could follow parts of the fighting and battles on the planet that did not appear in the books. Answer questions like "What happened to all the OTHER Spartans?"

  • 09.25.2009 11:27 AM PDT

Well I don't know the authors so someone may have to correct me. But if they arnt apart of Bungie then the books they wrote are Opinion of what happened. In which case Bungie wouldnt be changing anything by making the story out how they felt it really played out.

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

Here is what we know so far:

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


#1 is the only one I am not sure about. But the rest have all be confirmed by Shishka.
