Subject: New Theory About Reach Plot.

This is more of an idea than a theory. Try to follow.
I was thinking what if Halo Reach's story was told like this.

At the end of Halo 3 Master Chief goes in the Cryo Tube, and that is where Reach picks up. Confused?

So in this theory what if he is just dreaming and reflecting on what happened on Reach while he is sleeping and thats how the story is related.

Benefits of this theory, if true:

1. Allows for skipping around from battle to battle with as much or as little story telling as wanted.

2. Allows Bungie to wrap up what happens to Master Chief instead of just having him drift around.

3. A new and interesting way to tell the story.

Also it could end with the normal Reach ending and then the Chief wakes up to Cortana's voice saying:
"Chief! They found us!"

Just theories I have been thinkin about, probably not true but cool to think about.

What would you think if Bungie told the story like this, would you like it or not. Discuss.

This isn't time travel, it's flashbacks. Not half as bad, but I've seen it posted once today and it can't work.

Chief doesn't know the majority of what happened on Reach's surface, only what happened in Orbit. That would make for a pretty crappy game.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Legendary Planet looks NOTHING like a post-glassed Reach would. Plus they have different types of stars they orbit (one is yellow like Earth's [Reach] and the other is a Blue Giant [legendary planet])

He never said that the legendary planet is the same as reach. This is about how the masterchief is dreaming about reach, not more.

However, even if it would be a possible way of telling the story, I don't like it and I also don't believe Bungie would do that.

Did you even read my post?

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

He never mentioned the Planet...

Anyway, I don't see this happening because the Chief never experienced the battle for Reach, he spent almost the whole battle on the PoA and at Halo.
