EDIT: It is possible that he is actually one of the main characters, but I doubt it. I think Bungie is probably focusing this game on the other Spartans.

With the exception of ODST, the Halo series has been built around this single Spartan, the leader of the Spartan IIs, and the savior of humanity. The peak of his story is covered in the events of Halo CE-3.

Now we have a prequel that takes place just before Halo: Combat Evolved. Will he be in it?

From what I remember, he was never groundside, but he did fight in space in the battle of Reach. Should there be a level where you play as the most iconic character in the Halo series?

Or, as an alternative, he could just make a few appearances, maybe help you out in combat at one point. I think that'd be cool too.

Discuss.

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!

I think he should appear in cutscenes and such but not as a playable character.

We won't be playing as any spartan that we already know about from the books or the games. Bungie wouldn't waste a game by retelling a story that was already told so well from the exact same perspective as "Fall of Reach."

If he is in the game, it's as a cameo only.

Alright then. I'm not sure what you mean by that, and part of me doesn't want to know.

In case you never completed Halo 3 on Legendary let me fill you in the ship that Master Chief and the Arbiter get on splits in two when they jump. One half makes its back with the Arbiter who moarns the supposed death of Master Chief along with the humans.

But the other half still has Master Chief and Cortana on it and it apparently seems to of conviently found its way into an orbit around Reach.

So my theory for the Story of Reach is that Master Chief gets sent back in time to the battle for Reach but obviously can't disturb the time space continuum so he goes undercover.

This is why it is most likely Master Chief will be in at least parts of the game but there will be more emphasis on other characters who play a vital role in the battle of Reach.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Hopefully.

I know that you are actually a yellow striped fruitbat with pink sunglasses on because I know so. Am I right?

You can't prove that anybody in the banner is Master Chief.

hes called master chief because of his rank i mean maybe Spartans would call him john or others would call him spartan 117 but i think he would still be master chief.

MC should be in Reach as a main character, but we sould not get to play as him until the final level(s) of the game.

Give us an epic sendoff, Cheif fights to secure the pillar of autumns escape to Alpha Halo. Tons of explosions and sh1t. Dramatic and emotional. Make it a huge battle(hugest ever), And maybe throw in a warthog run.



Bungie doesn't need to redundantly tell a story that has already been told again in Fall of Reach to make a good ending to Halo Reach.

agreed i would much rather the game end in what happens in the first strike or when the Spartans get over run i wanna FEEL this game i wanna FEEL the desperation and loss of every last spartan that the master chief considers his family

I think you forget that not every Halo fan has read the novels. No, the game will not be fully based off of the novels, but what is wrong with a good portrayal of an epic scene from First Strike or Fall of Reach?

  • 11.20.2009 4:14 PM PDT

Hope so

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.

The most i want from Master Chief in Reach, is that they mention his name or something.

- His saga is over, give the main character role to someone else
- In the battle for Reach he isn't even on the planet and he has no communication with Red Team after his Space mission.

I haven't read any of the books but considering that I have a pretty good knowledge of the Halo Universe. So is MC involved in any of the fighting during the fall off reach, or his he just up in the pillar of autumn the whole time???


He is up in space with Joshua and Linda on a mission to destroy NAV data from a ship. After they do that, he heads to the Pillar and they jump to the first Halo. He has no contact with any other Spartans till much later.

Nothing wrong with it so long as it isn't from a viewpoint we've already heard about. Have the spartan squad fighting somewhere else when the nuke goes off, ect.

id prefer to play as a marine, because the aliens look so much more badass when they have 3-5 foot on you

if we have to be an indestructibly warrior, one badass elite mofo would be awsome
