Halo: Heretic or Hero---An Elite's Story
Choose your own destiny

Forged in the Flames of Passion, go forth and represent!

NOTE: This is not an overly large theory. It is just a small speculation. No need for tl;dr.

TO THE POINT:

If the main characters in Reach (Probably Spartan 320/259) manage to somehow escape from Reach, that would mean that they'd be missing in action seeing as how there were no other Spartans present in the following battle of Installation 04.

WHICH MEANS,

They could, quite possibly, cross paths with the Master Chief on the Legendary planet some time into the future, maybe rescue him, maybe work with him throughout the game. That'd be awesome; it'd bring everything full circle.

Discuss.

halo reach is not halo 4
it is a PREQUEAL

if halo there is to be a halo 4 it should be when master chief lands on onyx"planet i see in the legendary ending" and continue that

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.

The battle for I04 was SIMULTANEOUS to the battle of Reach. They happened at the same time.

But this will likely not lead into a Halo 4. What happens to the Chief is up to 343 industries to decide.

He's not saying Halo: Reach is Halo 4, he is saying Halo: Reach can aid in the development of Halo 4. I think that is actually a good idea it just needs to be tweaked.

It has been confirmed that Master Chief is in unknown space, and that the planet is not one we know of at all.

NO NO NO! That is NOT what I meant. I meant that the characters in Reach could escape and eventually, by some means, stumble across MC.

He didnt say Reach was Halo 4. He said maybe Spartans or people that go MIA could rescue the Chief for a Halo 4

I specifically said in the beginning that this was not a theory, it was just a small tidbit of speculation.

Maybe, perhaps, they uncover a new enemy on the Legendary planet. New problems. New tasks to overcome. I don't know. 343 can decide that part.

Well where else could the story really go?

Bringing in another full scale Flood/Covenant incursion would be old and be like dragging a dead donkey.

To be honest, they'd be better off just releasing Expansions or something for Multiplayer.

ok i understand it a theory.

but still what you just said taking on a new task and crap just sounds kinda dumb and would honestly kill halo for all its worth to just have Master Chief and his jolly o'll gang running about space beating up Space Mobsters.

I think halo should just stick to the UNSC v The Covenant (with a hint of flood as always) and when that ends it ends. no need to keep something good going until it turns into crap.

Now as long as they keep making games on the books (prequels) then that's all good but to try and start something new with Master Chief just seems out of place at the moment. unless there is a second Ark or some other crappy plot twist.

I honestly don't even see how they could even possibly attempt making a Halo 4. Wars over, Grunts, Brutes, Jackals, and Elites went back home.

To be honest, the way i see it, if Bungie could see themselves being able to pull off a continued story that doesnt suck -blam- then they would have already done it, than bother with ODST or Reach.

Halo: Reach is indeed a prequel my friend, which, incidentally has no 'a' in it.

And you do realise that Onyx was destroyed right? Unless you intend for the Master Chief to land on the tiny surface area of what remains of the planet.

Sounds very cool Murph.

That doesn't mean that there is nothing left in the Universe. We never fully comprehended the legacy of the Forerunners. There is no way we can just leave a race as monumentally important to Halo to be forgotten. They were what made the series, not Master Chief, not the Covenant. If it were not for them, Halo would not be Halo. It would be 'Humanity vs. Covenant'

Check out this Thread on how to help new members here on Bungie.net

If anybody Read the books after Reach there were spartens that survived and The Chief Found them and they all lived. So Really They could have had spartens in all the games. So Maybe there will be more games and Also if u read the book Dr. Halsey, Took Kelly away so there is alot they could do after reach.
