Subject: Things taken out FOR reach?

With halo:reach being a pre-quel (before halo CE), there are alot of things that would have to be taken out as part of the storyline/timeline.
for example:
brute shot
mauler
chopper
BR (it was introduced after reach)

i know some other things that should be taken out but i was wondering what everyone else thought.
and i know ill probably get flamed for the BR one.

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!

The BR and Brute Shot existed before Reach and so did the Chopper. There hasn't been previous use of the Mauler but that doesn't mean it won't be in the game. Reach is 19 days before Halo CE and 7 months before the end of Halo 3. It's not that big of a time difference. Those weapons could all very easily be in the game.

BR was introduced on harvest, which is before reach, so theres a possiblity that the BR is in reach

  • 10.29.2009 1:03 AM PDT

At least there will be some new weapons

ok i stand corrected about the BR (my bad)
but with all of the brute weaspons they were not in halo CE or Halo 2 if i remember right, the brutes were not on reach so their weapons and vehicles will not be either. unless you see some kind of sub-plot (possible)

The mongoose wont be in cause there was no mongoose in CE :(


The mongoose existed long before CE. In Halo: The Cole Protocol Spartan 111(Adriana) uses a mongoose as a melee weapon during the Battle of Metisette which was in 2535, 17 years before Reach.


To post above, as I said in my previous post, brute weapons did exist before CE even though they weren't in that game.
It is unknown if Brutes were on Reach or not, but they are never mentioned during the battle of Reach, so they probably weren't there(but is definitely the possibility that they were).

Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates

Yeah the recharge will probably be slow again.
And yes the Hornet was avaliable. It was used in Contact Harvest which is set in 2525.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

We never saw the full scope of the battle of Reach, even in the books. ONI intelligence ships near Reach at the time fled to get information to the brass, so a lot could have happened that was not seen. The only reason Bungie would make this is if there was more story to tell.

More on topic, I'd imagine the better part of the Halo weapon sandbox will be seen in Reach, much like in ODST.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I rather have none taken out, but editing them would be interesting.

Maybe bigger Spiker like someone suggested because originally it was bigger but with time it got smaller etc?

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

The BR should not be in the game until the last few levels, it was in a prototype stage, and not ready for field use.

As far as I've seen, heard, and researched... There will be no brutes in reach.

  • 10.29.2009 3:46 AM PDT

br will probably not be in reach because bungie took it out of odst coz it was to over powering so they will probbly do the same for reach.

  • 10.29.2009 3:52 AM PDT

there were no brutes ON reach, but if they escape or something there could be (im thinking stowing away on an elite ship and getting caught up in the civil war)

  • 10.29.2009 4:44 AM PDT

im not worried about facing brutes cos it would just bring more variety to weapons/enemies, it'd be good/fun to fight a hammer chieftan/fulerod hero AND an elite honour guard at the same time!

  • 10.29.2009 6:51 AM PDT

Killionaire

if brutes did end up in reach, they would be led by the elites, because the brutes only gained rank, when the prophet of regret started the civil war within the covenant. the force that attacked reach was an elite led force. they can still have more elites, but just make it like halo 2 in the beginning where the elites ran the show

  • 10.29.2009 6:57 AM PDT

i'd enjoy that, and the brutes must have been around back then anyway ,just (like Spartan p11 said) with the elites running the show.
