"SPOILER ALERT FOR ODST: WARNING"

I remember in halo 3: odst when they started burning new mombasa in odst buck said "Damn this is reach all over again" then dare said "Don't worry we made it out of there we'll make it out of here as well" words may not be exact but it also mentions in bucks profile that he was crygenically frozen at one point so is it possible that we will be playing as buck or dare in reach or at least be seeing them???? oppinions?

Possibly. The tie-ins would make the games way more juicey and complex.

John was at Reach but not on the planets surface. Johnson never directly fought at Reach if my assumption is right to the fact that since he's on the Pillar of Autumn at the beginning of Halo CE so he was on the PoA when Reach was happening, so what would he do swear at them? Buck might have been on Reach but I doubt DARE was their(haha that rhymed). But if she was then she never had direct contact in the battle most likely like Buck. ONI HQ was one of the first targets for the Covenant and DARE is ONI(Office of Naval Intelligence) so if she was there she would be dead. As for Buck if he was on Reach then he would most likely be dead too. Reach sustained almost total ground losses, except for the spartans and Dr. Halsey that made it off of Reach. Reach was hit hard and fast there was no time for the UNSC to react on any level. The Covenant knew what they were going to hit and did it extremely fast. All the HQ's were destroyed first along with many of the MAC cannons. Reach was the most devastating attack against humanity by the Covenant.

The Chief was at Reach before it fell, but he was fighting from orbit. He sent the last remaining Spartans down to the surface to secure the power generators that supply energy to Reach's orbital super MAC cannons.

Bungie will probably have them in as an Easter egg. If for no reason but to have an excuse to bring back Nathan Fillion.

We're gonna make it.

The MC never fought on the surface of Reach during the covenant battle, he was in orbit defending orbital stations. Most of the remaining Spartans were sent to the surface of Reach where most of them were killed and few escaped.
Personally, I'd rather play as a Spartan (preferably Master Chief) as Reach was the most intense battle and Bungie said Reach is the biggest game they have ever worked on. So I have high expectations for Reach.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

I think Buck just might be in Reach...

Worthplaying.com: One last question. Obviously Master Chief was the hero of the Halo trilogy, but given the character and style of Buck, is there any chance of seeing him reappear in future Halo games?

Brian Jarrard: You know, anything is possible. At this point, I can't say for certain, but if you do play the game, you might pick up a reference here or there to the fact that - and some fans may have already picked this up through some of the viral activities - but we do know for a fact that Buck was one of the few ODSTs who had been on the planet Reach and did make it off Reach.

I dont know exactly what to call it, but it has something to do with spaggetti, duct tape and razor blades...

I remember in the book Fall of Reach(it may be one of the others, it's been a while) MC gets in a brawl with a few ODSTs in the gym, really effs them up. I can't remember if they mentioned any of the names, but we may recognize one or two of them now... I'll have to dig up the books again.

Not even death can save you from me.

Totally hoping to play as buck on reach. Guess it'd be kind of cool to play as one of the spartans on the surface though, maybe sacrificing yourself in the end to get the remainder out and seeing the MC and the remaining people jump away to continue the fight. I dunno, this is a hard one for them to finish, they've got to hit something epic and meaningful in the end. Going to be crazy difficult for the story writers to make the masses happy.
Really want Nathan to reprise his role anyhow. The lore seems indicate we'd possibly see him.

I'd like to see them.

If you haven't noticed already through H2, H3 and ODST, they all tie in. Now ODST is the tie to Reach, so there is that possibility you will see them in the game, or possibly play as them.

ODST doesn't tie into Reach.... It ties into Halo 3 and Halo 2. Reach will tie into Halo: CE. As for Buck if he was on the surface of Reach then he would probably be dead. The majority of the battle of Reach was in space so it's more likely that he was on one of the ships that actually survived the battle. As far as we know only the Spartans and Dr. Halsey made it off Reach after the Covenant began their ground assault. The only people that would have made it off Reach left before the ground assault started. After the Covenant took out the MAC cannon generators they started to glass the planet. It's way more likely that Buck was in space and didn't actually directly fight in the Battle of Reach.


And for all of you who kept explaining that John was in space did you even read the posts? I made the most in depth post of it so honestly why repeat it 6 times.

It looks to me that they even say Buck was on Reach. If he's featured in Reach then ODST technically ties into Reach because he mentions Reach in ODST.

Sheesh...

Hopefully we will be able to see them. I doubt we will play as them though.

also to all the people who are saying that they say no one got off reach except for dr. halsley (I may have spelled that wrong) just because they say no one got off doesnt make it true, no one they know got off of reach.... it may have happened really fast but you cant deny the facts that buck and dare said it was like reach all over again and that they will get out the same way they got off at reach, they could have been there and gotten off without anyone knowing it... heck if they were dropped down there is a good chance that they didnt know the spartans personally so if they did ever meet up they wouldnt have known he was on reach
