he wasn't a KEY character (see wat i did thar?), so if he appears it'll be a cameo or he'll just have a secondary role (like his daughter in H2 and H3).

I expect there will be some sort of cameo role for both him and the Chief, but they won't be greatly involved. The Pillar of Autumn jumps out of the system before the battle for REACH is actually over.

If I had to take a guess, though, I'd say the game will kick off on the Autumn as the Spartans get ready to head down to the planet.

i think he will be there and don´t forget a second spartan, i think Linda, should be on the autumn too. she was hurt and frozen in a cryo tube.
(don´t know the exact name in english i played the games in german as i am from Vienna)

Like other people said, I think he will have a cameo. I believe the game will start aboard the PoA as Reach is first invaded, so we would obviously see Keyes as he spoke to the Spartans multiple times before Red Team (who we will be in this game) headed for the surface. We will probably see him (and the Chief) in the first cutscene of the game.

You play as the chief in reach, it is a story about how he became a spartan, his training and the battle for reach!

most boring game ever.
first three missions : how you got kidnapped.
next 4 missions : your training.
2 last missions : how you receive your armor and how all spartans die on reach.

if you had read reach, you'd know MC isn't even on the planet during the attack, and the banner shows spartans ON THE SURFACE of reach.

When you say it like that it is boring, I don't think bungie would make the first 3 levels the same thing over and over again!

maybe I'm exaggerating, but there is a reason why you don't PLAY those scenes (training, childhood) in ANY shooters (CoD, gears of war, etc)... it's because it's rather boring. what's the point of training in a video game? you'll train as you play over and over again.

I'd rather shoot aliens and have a real war than pretending to shoot baddies with fake guns and stuff during a training.

I think there will be a cutscene showing these moments of their life... but as I said, it's a CUTSCENE. not a segment of the game with dull gameplay.

Subject: wonder if captain keyes will be in reach

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

He might appear briefly, but that would be about it. He wasn't a huge character during the battle of Reach.

well i can see it playing like halo 1 in the beginning. i mean, we didnt even know who the hell he was and what the big deal was about him. and then bip, bap, bam he was gone. however they do have a pretty close past from halo you can just feel it in the dialogue. in the book keys was not a captain yet, but i dont know if bungie is even following the books or not in this game.

Keyes was a captain during the time of this game (the battle of Reach) which occurs roughly 20 days before Halo 1.

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

Keyes would be a cameo appearence. As we believe it will be on Reach, Keyes was in the PoA during the battle so.

But the war on reach before CE was many years after he became a spartan...

Nothing to see here, move along.

I think Keyes will have at least a cameo role, but i suspect a larger role.
I doubt the game will start with the battle of Reach, because that would lead to a very short game. I reckon it will follow the book 'Fall of Reach' from when the spartans first get their armour, then follow all the major battles they fought in concluding with the destruction of Reach.

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

Well, I don't know why everyone sounds so positive about who we'll play as and why. Bungie could use any number of story mechanics to drive the story.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

How would it be a short game? The Battle of Reach took place for around three or four weeks.

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

I already made a topic about this.

I think this was the first one on this subject.

Did it?
I thought the battle lasted mere hours before the planet started to get glassed.
