I'm xAssault12x, and I love the Halo Universe. Discussion please!
In every game titled "Halo" there has been a Halo ring and the Flood. I think that it might be safe to assume that there will be one in Halo Reach, however, this means that Bungie will not be keeping to the books and will in fact be creating a new story.
I have thought about this for a while and it seems that Bungie will be giving us a new story about Spartans we have never heard of before that will be on the surface of Reach and somehow end up on a Halo ring.
As much as I think this is a possibility I also think it will not happen. It would mess with all the current stories we have.
Unless...
How did the Covenant find Delta Halo?
We were lead to believe that they just stumbled onto it, but what if it was discovered after the attacks on Reach just like the first Halo?
It would be hard to make sense of this if it were supposed to be following the official cannon, but here is my idea.
The game begins and we take the role of a Spartan sent to the surface to defend the reactors powering the orbital Super MAC guns. We get seperated from the rest of the Spartans and end up in the area that does not get glassed, but we are far away from the other Spartans and have no communication with them. The Spartans end up at a UNSC facility of some kind where they find an A.I. that needs to be rescued.
After some intense fighting and running from massive Covenant forces the Spartan squad decides they need to get off of Reach before it gets glassed, and the only way to do that is to steal a Covenant ship. We steal a dropship and board a Covenant Cruiser. Not long after that, with the help of the A.I. we rescued, we take control of the ship.
Through a series of unfortunate events we end up in a random slip space jump and out of control. The ship finally exits slip space on the outskirts of an unknown solar system. When the system is scanned a massive ring is detected in orbit of a central planet. It is a Halo.
The Covenant Cruiser that follows is one of three Covenant ships the Spartans engaged in orbit of Reach and it is the only Covenant ship that was able to follow us. However, the Covenant Cruiser has taken some damage and its communications array has been destroyed so the Covenant are looking for Halo's control room so they can send out a signal to the rest of the Covenant about the Halo ring.
The cruiser the Spartans stole is badly damaged and has few weapons and limited maneuvering capability so the Spartans decide to abandone the ship as it passes the Halo and then land on the Halo and hide from the Covenant. Before they can abandone the ship the tailing Covenant cruiser exits slip space in front of them. They exchange several shots, the Covenant cruiser's main engines and slip space generator are nearly destroyed, and the Spartans cruiser is cripled. The Spartans manage to bail out before the ship is destroyed and evade the Covenant and land on the ring.
Somehow, back on Reach, we managed to save several Marines and ODSTs that came with us and now we have a nice little squad. We land on the surface and end up near the map room. The Covenant land and begin to search the ring and find the map room. We investigate, kick some butt, and find out where the control room is. We beat the Covenant there, but we cannot stay for long because the Covenant are closing in. There are several guerrilla warfare style engagements and we slowly take losses.
By the end of the game only one Spartan is left. You. You managed to get into the Covenant Cruiser and you are in the reactor room with the detonator for several C12 charges that are around you. The Covenant have sealed all exits, and you have no way out. You blow the charges and destroy the ship, but several Covenant survive on the ring and manage to send out the signal.
That is just my thought.
I think it would make for some fun, and somewhere in there they find the Flood. I forgot that part.
This would allow for an explaination of how the second Halo was discovered and it would also make for a fun story as well.
Any thoughts?
