Ok, i've read a couple posts all about how the two 'planets' seen in the trailer for reach and the Halo 3 Legenday ending cinematic are the same, and aren't the same, how they're both reach and how they both aren't and one is or isn't... it's all a bit mixed up, and it only depends completely on the viewers opinion. That's why 'Definitive Proof' theads kinda bug me, it's not definate proof untill Bungie confirms it, but I suppose it's just in our nature to analyze things unknown and then as soon as the slightest sign that one's theory COULD be correct, to go and try and convince everyone that they are infact without a doubt correct. SO anyway, my thoughts are, I have no f***ing clue? but, another thing that's come up alot is the possibility of 'time travel' which I think is completely incorrect, but still we don't know. People are obviously so hung up about how those two planets are both reach, yet it's a prequal, so that kinda destroys there theory, so they have to resort to something like ... well 'time travel'... yeah that's the perfect explination. Don't get me wong we're totally entitled to our opinion and expressing/discussing it, afterall, that's what this forum is for, BUT I finally come to my point, IF say that those two planets which i previously mentioned are confirmed to bth be Reach, then, surely, don't you think it'd be a much more resonable explination to believe that MasterCheif has some sort of flashback? in which you re-play his past? Funniest thing about this is, i've never read the fall of reach, and have litterally no idea about MasterChief and his links and past experience with this planet, so correct me if im wrong, i've just read in alot of posts about Chief going back, or playing as young Cheif. I do have a brief understanding of the Spartan I project and the link between the Forerunners and Reach, but... ok im rambling;
LONG STORY SHORT;
My opinion (and i cannot stress that word enough) of the whole situation about these planests is, thats it COULD BE A POSSIBILITY that as Cortana and Chief float by all happy n sleepy, and they stumble upon this planet, which hypothetically is reach right now, Cheif could have some sort of flashback (it worked incredibly well with ODST so why not again?) and then you go on to play out this story. It just seems a much more sensible theory to ME than time travel, you dig?
