Subject: Halo: Reach Trailer - Quite good actually - Questions!

Hey Guys.

Well I just watched the Halo: Reach Teaser Trailer from E3 09 again and I thought it was bloody brilliant.

I have a few questions though if anyone who is good with the book - Halo: Fall of Reach.

1. The planets you can see in the Background, Top Right of the Screen at 15 Seconds for a bit. What Planets are they?

2. At 34 Seconds what is that massive structure that is orbiting around Reach?

3. The orange explosions that start going off at 38 Seconds. Are they all individual Slipspace Ruptures?

4. At 1:02 he mentions there are Spartans still on Reach. Roughly how many Spartans where left during the Halo Reach Timeline.

5. Why is half of Reach covered in Darkness? I understand that the sun is not shining there but why do the Covenant choose to start glassing the Planet there?

6. At 40 Seconds is that an ODST Squad Leader saying where coming in hot HOLD ON?

Just thought I would ask you guys.

YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE LINK I PROVIDED YOU FOR THE CORRECT TIMES!

3. Just explosions
4. Somewhere in the thirties, can't remember the exact number
5. So you can see the fires better
6. Dunno

2. Is just a destroyed Frigate? I doubt it. It looks nothing like it when you Drop down in your Pod in ODST.

I haven't read The Fall of Reach in awhile, so I couldn't say.

I know there weren't very many Spartans left when the invasion started, though.

Different Angles. Imagine what it looks like if you are directly above it.

It still doesn't look the same. What was the Aura coming out of it?

It is heavily damaged and broken in half. Also, the front is facing down.

BAM said the lady

1.Moons
2.A destroyed friget
3.indiviidual bombs
4.i think around 35
5.because the felt like it
6.maybe, but remember the chief droped in a pod in halo 2

  • 10.25.2009 6:08 PM PDT

1. Probably neighboring planets/moons.
2. My guess is a destroyed MAC station
3. They look like surface explosions
4. Not that many maybe 10ish that are known
5. It would make sense to attack that side first
6. IDK, my guess is it's Red Team from the first book
7. ???

  • 10.25.2009 6:09 PM PDT

I am a whisper on the wind...

1. Moons and other plantes in the system.
2. Orbital MAC Platform, the SPARTANS were sent groundside to defend the genorators powering them. That or it was a Frigate pointed downward.
3. Nukes and glassing beams from Covenant ships.
4. Between 30 and 35
5. They might be glassing everywhere but we just can't see it from the angle of the camera
6. 80% chance that was Fred telling the other Spartans to hold on as the Pelican tumbled out of control.

Hope that cleared some stuff up for you.

Thanks Guys.

I might go and buy Halo: Fall of Reach or at least get the Audio Book. It sounds quite interesting. I got Ghosts of Onyx but I didn't like it much.

Ghosts of Onyx was good but Halo: Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike were alot better.

:P I listened to it when I went to France with School on my iPod. Got about 10 mins in and listened to some Lady Ga Ga or something :D

Man, I need to get the adio books. Oh, Halo: The Flood is good if you like reading about Halo: Combat Evolved.

I'm not sure if its destroyed, since there is a Spartan coming out of it, but it is a frigate, if you have ever seen the frigate "The Dawn" from Halo 3 you will see it looks like that type of ship.

Snapped in half, look at my above post.

I AM THE LEGENDARY ENDING

ive read the book and it was my favorite so far, so i should be able to remember quite a bit.

1. i believe they are just uninhabitable, they may have slipspace dedecting posts orbiting them though.

2. that massive strucure is a UNSC ship that was sliced/shot in half by a large covie ship.

3.thoes look like bombs that went off, possibly nukes, in order to stave off the covies progress with thier plans for the planet.

4. not sure on my timeline of the book here but i would say between 5 and 10 (closer to 5 tho)

5. well there is no "glassing" going on here, but since the covies are attacking on land. and they probably wanted to catch the humans off guard by attacking @ night.

6.theres no way to tell who it is here although it could be an ODST or SPARTN

  • 10.25.2009 6:32 PM PDT

,,I,,(^.^),,I,,

-Gunrocker7

1.IDK
2.Orbital MAC Cannon or Frigate
3.no
4.at the most i think is 16
5.unanswerable
6.they're dropping in SOEIV's or Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle

Snapped in half, look at my above post.

It doesn't really look broken too me though, could just be 2 separate ships, the one below being a small one.

Well thats what it seems like to me since there is no crack, just looks like the ships are narrow at the ends and are separate.

just realized that o,o and afterwords voice says "we just lost our bird" So I'm giving a 90% chance it's Fred ^^

3. it said in the book that another generation of Spartans were being trained but it wasnt a big part of the book possibly that the spartans is the second batch of spartans so those might not be the original spartans

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!

It also said that the second Class of Spartan IIs was canceled.
