This is definitely interesting. On the Halo Time line on xbox.com they have seemed to confirmed that the game will take place during the fall of reach. I'm sure many of you have probably assumed this already, but it's nice to see confirmation. Hopefully this means we'll be seeing a lot of content from first strike, as the fall of reach only covered the first thirty minutes of the battle. What do you guys think ?

Cool. I always assumed that it would take place during the French Revolution.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

He just means that at least some part of the story doesn't involve the future.

If you believe in the time travel, etc.

What this gentlemen said. Also it confirms that we won't be taking part in the SPARTAN training or previous missions. I just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

How so?

We will still see people making threads about theories about Sam, time travel, the Chief's childhood and all of that.

Good to have it confirmed by a valid source. Now I can copy/paste that into every thread with any of the theories I stated above.

How does this disprove Sam being a character or Spartan Training?

I assumed this is what would happen. Thanks for the confirmation though.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I shouldn't have said it disproves it, as that's a pretty bold statement, but i think it definitely makes it an unlikely possibility. They put that area on the timeline AFTER SPARTAN training, previous missions, so i think that's a pretty good indicator. A timeline is chronological order, so unless they made an error i doubt we'll be seeing any of the training or anything too far away from the battle for reach. We might see a flashback for a cutscene maybe, but i couldn't possibly see SPARTAN training working gameplay wise. Pushups and situps don't sound like a very fun gameplay element.

Though you can't honestly have expected Microsoft to reveal info on Reach before Bungie, especially some as crucial as this. My guess would be that whoever made that probably deduced (like the rest of us) that the game will feature the battle.

Also, I wouldn't throw away spartan training just yet, there are ways of making it fun.

Signatures are for squares.

The battle of Halo is the main focus of Halo CE. But does that mean that the Pillar of Autumn level didn't happen?


Sure, the main focus of the game is Reach, but that doesn't mean there can't be events before that.

For Spartans, possibly previous missions. Although they wouldn't be relevant to the battle for reach. Spartan training just won't happen. Maybe to check sensitivity and such, but there is no possible way it could be made into a fun and enjoyable experience. Pushups, running, sit ups it wouldn't work. As for the missions, they wouldn't be relevant to the story. The pillar of autumn was part of the story, if you didn't complete that you wouldn't have any earthly idea why you landed on this ring. I just don't see how anything before reach would be relevant or necessary. Sure i would enjoy a mission or two before reach, but I'm simply saying that it wouldn't make sense.

For information about my GT, "bjb yo," or the Linked account here on B.net, "Nub Cutter."

Guys, we didn't know for a fact that Halo: Reach would be entirely on Reach. Like how Halo Wars was only supposed to be on Harvest, but it was only on Harvest for like the first three missions.
