Maybe the MAC cannons are on Reach and fire into space.


Really? I mean really? After all that has been said wether right or wrong you get out of it that the MAC cannons are on the surface of Reach. I mean come on. Seriously? I can't even fathom how you came to that conclusion. Everything said has either stated nothing about where they are or exactly where they are. So honestly how?

still the camra angle being where it is there should be more wreckage not just 1 metal peice of junk plus the MAC connons were obliterated i dont think there could be wreckage that big left

Shameless plug for my blog:

Check it!

Maybe it's called Halo: Reach because you play as Master Chief with giant extendo arms, so he can REACH really far??? Eh? eh?

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

MAC's aren't as big as you think they are.

  • 09.28.2009 4:41 AM PDT

They showed just a part of the planet, and really? Did no one notice that the wreckage is a Frigate split in half.

If i remember right, The covies were pushing all the wreckage to the pole area, I remember something about cortana jumping the stolen ship into the wreck and mergeing with the gettysburg.

  • 09.28.2009 5:21 AM PDT

by the time the covenant started glassing the planet (in the trailer) i think 12 of them were destroyed. you're trying to find mystery in something that's not mysterious.

It's all crazy, It's all false, It's all a dream, It's alright

This theory made me LoL,
Think for a second, its a trailer for the game, what was the trailer meant to be showing Reach getting glassed.

Now why would they not put wreckage in front of the thing that YOUR MEANT TO BE LOOKING AT????

hmmmmmmm. I wonder.

For the few people questioning if its Reach based on the lack of MACs or their wreckage here is my proof that it is: If you look at the smoke coming from what looks like a ship or space station you'll see what looks like a person floating into space

Spoilers (from the Fall of Reach book)

as I recall in the Fall of Reach the spartans were dropped in the orbital dock and the planet after the MACs were blown. The person floating in space was probably James after a needler blew out his jetpack outside the orbital dock and caused him to fly into space. This is Reach.

Your first sentence is true. Reach had those orbital super MAC cannons, but the Covenant on the surface destroyed the generators, rendering the cannons completely useless.

  • 09.28.2009 8:23 AM PDT

first off the mac station is way bigger than the international space station. and the trailer shows the start of the battle with giant explosions. the guys exclaims that its them as in they just appeared context. i remeber just a select few being destroyed plus they did not obliterate rech like that in the video they LANDED on it... then blew it up. an so that garbage dump at the pole had not been created.

behold the great wall of txt that rulez all!

You know what dude? Just shush.

This is a TRAILER. They were trying to show off Reach getting glassed. That's why the planet looks like it's on FIRE. You were supposed to be looking at the planet, rather then at a bunch of garbage floating in space. Stop trying to make a mystery out of nothing.

Bungie's already confirmed this is a prequel, will feature the Spartans, and even mention that it could have Buck in it. Buck, was on Reach.

Reach is 8,000 some-odd miles wide when an Orbital Defense Platform is 4/5th of a mile long. You wouldn't see it, unless you have amazing eyesight.

Either way, this thread kind of gives me the impression you're just trying to sound like you figured something out, when you really didn't. It's Reach. The End.

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.

MAC platforms are extremely small compared to a planet, you are alot farther from Reach in that trailer than you were from Earth in Halo 2. I highly doubt they would be large enough to see from that distance.

The attack was just starting. Those explosions were the Covenant taking out power grids and whatnot (which DID happen to Reach BEFORE the Invasion BTW)

Honestly who gives a crap wether or not you can see the MAC cannons?! THE GAME IS CALLED HALO: REACH PEOPLE! It's not like its rocket science. What other planet would they make a game about other then Reach? Because since we know the beginning and end what other planet could it possibly be? I mean really. It's not that hard.

  • 09.28.2009 3:41 PM PDT

at least this atleast has some proof behind it have you seen some of the other theorys? any way the covanate (flame the spelling if you want) did not "blow them up" they attacked the generators with a ground based attack. therefore no need for explosions

MORE BACK UP: i was just wondering why bungie would make a game to a story so many people know and respect a cannon? i mean i wouldnt mind playing a game version of Fall of Reach. the book was kick ass. but if it follows the story line... then boring... i liked when they put twist IN the game... its like a huge spoiler. bungies gonna have to work really hard to spice it up. im not saying its not gonna feature Reach just that there is a possibility of new planets NOT in the book OR the trailer! but those are my theorys

really sorry about the bump i accidentally clicked reply i wasnt paying attention SORRY
