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.
i have gathered prove that the halo 3 legendary ending planet might be reach also READ all of this before posting
Reach and devilsrevenge96s Theory:
I acknowledge all of the story line points from the books, my theory is made to try and work around them while preserving gameplay.
Reach: Glassed
H3 Planet: Structures and signs of civilization
Totally Skeptical?:
Reach Planet=Reach
H3 Planet=Wtf, clever marketing scheme that denotes a future *Halo 4* after Reach? and Reach just looks like the H3 Planet to trick us? hmmm Bungie would . . . but come on, they COULD be related, and its more likely then a random H3 Planet or a foreshadowing sphere of an epic game?
Chances are that they planets are the same if not related, and the H3 Legendary ending was a secret scene to hint Reach. But for all records, I think Bungie would deff hide a game for hmmm 2013? Definite in their hit Halo 3.
Reach, the planet that was gassed, no life possible? So no possible connection to the planet with the structures on the planet in the H3 legendary ending? 2 years later so much is possible, a civilization that thrives off of glassed planets and is a pioneer species that can recover resources and artifacts from the Glassed planet.
Reach: Red Star (ecliptic shine)
H3 Planet: Blue Star (ecliptic shine)
Again over 2 years a lot can change, stars can die and new ones can be born (including time from before . . just saying that a lot can happen in that short loop of time), also bungie may have had the ecliptic refraction occur with a different star that was near and not over powered by the red star.
*NOTE* in the star cycle if the red star of reach is a red giant on the brink of death a new blue star can take it's place.
ABOUT STARS
I UNDERSTAND THAT STARS CAN NOT BE BORN OR DIE WITHIN 2 YEARS WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT well, here is the example.
Star 1 Time line:
77777777 BC: Born
77777 BC: Death Cycle Starts
7 AD: Star Dies
Star 2 Time Line:
77777 BC Birth Cycle Starts
7 AD: Star is Born
The Science of the Theory
for this theory lets just say that by some chance the red star finishes death exactly at the new blue star's birth.
Maybe the Covenant triggered something in the red star that caused its death to speed up, or maybe the Pillar of Autumn's slip space jump caused a break of bonds in the red star, turning it into a dead star, but also Hydrogen, one of the important elements of life, the glassed planet could have supported life with a planet with an atmosphere filled with a dense hydrogen atmosphere, the pioneer species may then be able to complete the stage of succession and become a civilization because of their ability to use Hydrogen as an energy source.
Remember: In Succession:
Disruption (glassed planet)
Pioneer Species
Evolution
Climax Ecosystem
*NOTE*: the last 3 steps take a very long time in normal conditions, BUT if the species has a environment that is highly rich in the resources they need, the steps speed up.
Gameplay and Story-line
In Halo 3 ODST the story line will be enhanced AND played through using flashbacks
Why not the same thing in Reach? it makes sense, Chief crashing into Reach and seeing things from the past that trigger the past, the story line of the game containing the stories of the Spartans from the books and gameplay as each one of them. The objective being to find a way of Reach by remembering something from the past. Just a Theory

Theory 1
If you have beat Halo 3 on Legendary you will see Chief's ship floating towards a planet, I am lead to believe this planet is Reach or the planet seen in the Halo: Reach trailer. The planets look just about the same, Think what you may want to think. I think when chief goes through the portal and the ship gets cut in half Chief actually went back in time, This means we could be fighting as Spartan 117 in Halo Reach.
This is how I believe the game will play out. Chief will fight in the Battle of Reach kill some covenant and loose the battle then retreat with the rest of the marines. When Chief gets on the Pillar of Autumn he will save the Commander (Whos name escapes me at the moment) who was piloting the ship, (The guy who at the beginning of Halo CE says, "Their Here" or something on the lines of that and then gets killed by an Elite) Soon after that Chief and the other marines along with the Commander will go down to the Halo Ring with Chief as their guide, And get the war over with all of the right moves.
Remember in the trailer it says "From the BEGINNING you knew the END."
Comparison of the Halo 3 Ending planet and the Halo REACH trailer planet.
Halo: REACH Trailer
For everyone who is saying something about the books, I have heard enough about the books! Just because it's in the book doesn't mean it will happen in the series, As far as I know Bungie didn't even make the books!
For everyone who is saying Chief was never in Reach, I know this, If Chief goes back in time he could fight in the battle of Reach!
Theory 2
If in fact the planet at the end of Halo 3 is Reach, This is another possibility of gameplay. Chief will be wondering around in space with no one except Cortana, Chief notices debris from the battle of reach and has flashbacks (Like in Halo 3: ODST), Each flashback will detail some aspect of the Battle of Reach. In these flashbacks you may play as each of the Characters in the banner above this page.
To everyone posting saying look around the forums and such, Stating that this idea has been posted many times before, Look at the date I posted this, The day the trailer came out, then you can look at the right of the forum page, its a Most Discussed thread. This thread has been out for a while, I just didn't post it, If anything people has taken some of this idea from me.
Further proof this planet is Reach! In the Halo 3: ODST ViDoc the guy speaking says, "We have seen this before, Harvest, The Outer colonies, and Reach." When he says Reach the image goes to a picture of reach like I have on this thread.
Go to 1:40 in the video to see this.

With the release of the Halo: Reach teaser trailer, I now have a new theory as to what the Legendary planetoid may be.
If we take a look at the Planet in the Halo: Reach teaser trailer, you will notice a striking similarity between the glowing shapes on both Reach and the Legendary Planet. Similar shapes can also be found on the Surface of the Ark, as evidenced in the cutscence prior to the mission, 'The Ark.'
In this trailer we can also see towards the end, in the background, what appears to be a blue nebula, much like the one in the legendary ending.
So it appears that both planets are one and the same. Or at least the same in design.
EDIT:
I have been doing some research and have found further evidence that supports Reach being in the Legendary ending.
We know that the planet Reach is located in the Epsilon Eridani system.
We also know that Bungie like to use a lot of real life information and locations in their fiction.
To start with, let's compare two images.
The Legendary Nebula is something that we have all seen.
The Epsilon Eradani System has the same blue nebula as the Legendary ending. Larger picture here.
In both cases, an artist has used real life evidence to make the impressions as accurate as possible.
In addition to this, we can see that Epsilon Eridani in the Haloverse also has At Least Two Planets, or a planet and moon, in addition to Reach.
The real life Epsilon Eridani is also Supposed to Have Three Planets, with at least one of these being a gas giant like Jupiter. Larger picture here. We can also see a massive ringed planet in the Reach trailer.
Epsilon Eridani is also significantly younger than the Solar system, and therefore, less time has passed since planets in Epsilon Eradani have been exposed to heavy bombardment by meteors.
Now if we take a Closer Look at the Surface of Reach, we will see a lot of evidence of impact craters scattered across its surface. Mind you, these may have been caused by the glassing of the planet, but I do not believe that glassing sends plumes of earth into the sky. so this is all i have got if you disagree then ok if you agree then ok i just want to know your opinion and remember no flaming =) and if you do not think it is reach then say why ok thanks =)
