half of you people are not educated in the history of halo and if you would look into the history. if bungie wants their stories to stay connected then they have to make the covenant just like it was in Halo Combat Evolved. If they don't do this they will lose most of their fans and why would they do that
Because it doesn't make sense that so many radical changes would happen in a period of 7 months. According to the story, everything that was in existence in Halo 3 was in existence during the events of Halo: CE. The Spartans on the ground on Reach were using SMG's! You don't know anything about the Halo story.

Actually the spartans on Reach were all in different teams I beleive and each spartan had different weapons. John had AR Fred I think he was heavy weapons? Linda or kelly was sniper and sam I forget sam lol. but yes I beleive there were SMG'S there.

read the books and reach was beinning burned during Halo Combat Evolved and the only covenant that was known where Jackals, Elites, Grunts, and Hunters why would their be brutes come on be resonable look into the back story of halo and then use ur brain and put 2 and 2 together come on people do your research and stop spreading stupid nonsense that u have no clue what is going to happen in the game so stop posting stupid stuff and wait until more trailers come out and discuss it then


actually thats not correct they knew of engineers from when they were at corte du atza or wateva it was called and also brutes attacked harvest and harvest was taken long before reach was

According form what ive heard, they had fully working Br's.

Well they were mentioned in first strike if I remember correctly but it was deep under Castle base and it never said if they were fully functioning BR's



have u seen the cover for Halo COntact Harvest??? no?? Johnson has a Battle Rifle on the cover! and that was years before The Glassing of Reach
Thank you!! Kids these days.... Harvest was the very first planet the Covenant attacked and the first encounter the humans ever had with them. It was in the year 2525.

it's most likely because the ship didn't have smg's in its inventory. just because it's not in one of the games doesn't mean it wasn't around.

John wasn't on Reach until First Strike (after Halo:CE). It was like 3 different teams with 3 different assignments. They all got SMG's when they entered the underground base and found Dr. Halsey. They also received armor upgrades (Mark VI).

No they already had Mark V armor if you look on the cover of "The Fall of Reach". Their upgraded parts were for the Mark VI armor.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

The weapons will be the same as Halo combat Evolved.


I highly doubt that. Anyways, the Spartans that managed to make it underground on Reach found Battle Rifles and new prototype weapons. If anything, we'll see the return of the BR and some new weapons. Bungie wouldn't host a beta for the game if it was basically a remake of Halo: CE.

um reach takes place like years befor the first halo, i understand whats ur saying about the weapons, but moost likely they will have the weapons of halo 1 more then 3, and act more like the weapons in halo 1, ex: brute shot shoots lobes not, not straight gernades. in the ends he just saying the game over all will feel more like u were playing halo 1 then 3, and on that note hopeing for the halo 1 pistol ^.^ 3 HEAD SHOT KILL!!! woot woot. as for the vechicals, yea i agree they might keep those in. idk about the mongoos though, that wasnt really a good vechical to begin with, in my opinion anyway.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

This is the story behind it, not gameplay.

Once again, the Battle of Reach takes place 7 months before the END of Halo 3. Look at the damn timeline before you post. http://halostory.bungie.org/halostory.timeline.html. The whole damn trilogy (Halo:CE through Halo 3) is only in a period of 6-7 months.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Posted by: Frost1691 1691
You don't know anything. The weapons will be the same as Halo 3. Why would they be any different?? The Battle of Reach takes place only months before Halo 3. Do you honestly think the BR, Brute Plasma Rifle, Carbine, Beam Rifle, Mongoose, Hornet, Magnum, Spartan Laser, etc. were all developed and put into use in that short time period? You're an idiot.

It was a period of about 6 months, and the weapons will not be identical, as you suggested. The weapons could be like L4D for all we know.

Yes he has it but it's introduced as a very early prototype
But still usable.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Whoever hasn't read the books should leave this thread now. In Halo: CE there were no SMG's but in the books there were. Just because Bungie didn't add something in a game until later on doesn't mean it can't be added in prequel games.
There BR is there in First Strike and the Spartans do get some armor upgrades(supposedly to MK VI although it never specifically states this) like Fred who gets an upgraded Gauntlet.

Now moving on to Brutes, the Spartans have never seen Brutes before until Opertation: First Strike when several Spartans consisting of MC, Grace, Fred, Linda and Will.
They were attacked by Brutes and Grace was killed and MC barely survived to wrestle out of a Brutes' grasp. Unless we play as another group of Spartans who saw Brutes on Reach randomly then they might be in the game.

How does this have to do with Reach Gameplay..

  • 09.30.2009 8:28 PM PDT

Been playing Halo since CE

I doubt we will see Brutes as Elites and Brutes don't work well together and have there own separate ships. Dont know about separate fleets but ships I'm pretty sure of as in Halo 2 separate ships were fighting each other if brutes and elites where on one ship together the fighting would all be inside the ships not space combat.

that whole the spartans hadn't seen brutes till first strike isn't true btw remember in fall of reach when mc had to capture a convenant ship and he was nearly killed by one.

That was First Strike when they were on the Unyielding Heirophant which is what I described above.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

reach takes place before the brutes and elites hated each other
