MAsHPoTT!

Remind me again is it Master Chief in Reach or just another Spartan?

Also do all the Spartans except Master Chief get killed on Reach?

All i can remember is there was a lot of flood in the books.

I also wonder if the story of Reach will follow the story of the books, in that case we'll be using the first prototype BR wouldn't we?

Correct me on any of that if I'm wrong

(It'd be pretty cool if when playing Reach, you switched between characters like in Halo 2 where you switched between the Chief and the Arbiter. Then we'd get different perspectives. I hope to God though that buck isn't in it lol)

It's the 'Chief.

No.

Buck won't be in it, because ODST began production AFTER Reach, believe it or not.

I play for fun, I play for the team, and I play to win.

There are several Spartans on Reach, Master Chief leaves as the planet gets glassed to "start the fight" in the first Halo game. It's possible we'll see the Chief, but I'd put more money on seeing the other team of Spartans. Maybe even Halsey? I've always wanted her in a game.

And yes, the prototype BR is in First Strike, so we might see that as well, unless the game designers chuck it for gameplay reasons.

edit: Buck could be in Reach if Bungie wants him to be. Even if it was too late to give him a proper role in the game, they could always slip him in for a few lines of dialog. He did plug Reach a lot during ODST, after all.

Thanks the reason I talk about Buck is because during the campaign, more specifically the final mission Buck says about Reach and Dare replies we made it out of that we can make it out this.

Even the Vidoc from 22/9 says about Buck escaping from Reach so it was just a thought.

Still i hope they don't put him in he annoyed the hell out of me XD

...what? ODSTs existed before Spartan II's did. Buck was on Reach, and John even fought a few ODSTs in a random fist fight in a gym once, long before Reach. So no, I don't believe it.

Also, almost all Spartans died on Reach. There are a few Spartans still alive, only about 3 besides Chief.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Bungie does have the ability to make retroactive changes to canon, however it would not typically be done to important, core features. An example of a minor feature would be whether or not Buck or a BR could be there, simple change, with several justifiable explanation for their inclusion.

A core change would be to remove Spartans from the engagement, or make Reach the final resting place of Spartan 117. Things like these are stuff that would more than likely never change.
