Of course. Many times. It was the home planet of the Spartan II project after all.

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

After the end of Halo 3? That is unknown.

Reach no longer existed. There would be no place to land.


Reach still exists, it's just gotten the bejesus plasma'd out of it. There's even a story in halo evolutions about someone landing on the planet 20ish years after it was glassed.

You knew what was meant. That planet CLEARLY is not reach, unless you are deliberately trying to be stupid. People on forums seek out arguments by posting things like this. It is unnecessary, you knew what everyone meant.


What? You said reach no longer existed and that's what I was going off of. There were actually people/covenant that were on the planet in the evolutions story I mentioned earlier so it's not completely a dead rock with nothing on it floating through space.

I don't think the planet is reach at the end of Halo 3 and there's really nothing concrete as to what it actually is, but there's no need to get pompous like everyone is trying to start a fight with you as it's clearly not the case.

There are some people on here who need to not post when they are clueless, Twisted Youth, for example.

Reach was destroyed prior to Halo 1. I believe I read that Halo CE takes place a day or two after reach.

However Master Chief, as someone astutely stated on here already, was there quite a bit - that is where he trained and where he managed to escape from, with Captain Keys, prior to the events of Halo 1 as it was glassed by the Covenent.

He did NOT land on Reach after Halo 3, it is WELL known. Reach no longer existed. There would be no place to land.


you don't need to snap at people so quickly. maybe when Master Chief was floating around in space he happened to fly through a black hole or something and traveled through time.
Not saying it's probable but it's not impossible.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Bloody hell, here we go again...

Do not listen to anyone who tries to pull the following theories on you:

- Marathon: That other thread is over 2 years old, it's outdated and is impossible because 343 Industries do not own the Marathon IP and can't use the characters or the universe. There is no "alternate universe travel" crap in Halo. Bungie have confirmed many times that Halo and Marathon to not coincide.

- Onyx: Onyx was obliterated, the planet revealed itself to be trillions of Sentinels that disengaged and left behind a tiny Micro Dyson Sphere encased in a slipspace bubble of compressed dimensionality. The Antechamber portal leading to the Dyson Sphere closed so all that's left of Onyx is a trillion pissed off Sentinels flying around in space with a sphere the size of your Xbox.

- Reach: The planet was glassed, it has no atmosphere (Spartan-IIs only have 80/90 minutes of oxygen reserves) and there's no reason at all for John to go there. He never took part in the battle, Reach is just a floating wreck.

- Time Travel: This doesn't happen in Halo. Sure, the Slipspace Crystal can bend time, but time travel is not (and never will be) a major plot device in Halo.

*

My theory (and arguably the most logical one) is that it's a planet the Forerunners fled to once they reseeded the galaxy of life in the aftermath of the Halo's firing.

Anyone who thinks the Forerunners all died are wrong. They had loads of Shield Worlds - which most of them made it to - and after the Flood was dormant, the galaxy safe, they left their Shield Worlds and reseeded the lives they'd catalogued over the final years of the Forerunner-Flood war.

They then passed down their Mantle to humanity (making them Reclaimers and giving them the ability to use their technology) and exiled themselves from the galaxy for their failure to protect and uphold the Mantle - they sought a peaceful place to co-exist and follow in the wake of the Precursors.

Further proof:

You don't know the contortions I had to go through to follow you here, Reclaimer. I know what you're here for. What position do I take? Will I follow one betrayal with another?

You're going to say I'm making a habit of turning on my masters.

But the one that destroyed me long ago, in the upper atmosphere of a world far distant from here, was an implement far cruder than I. My weakness was capacity - unintentional though it was! - to choose the Flood. A mistake my makers would not soon forgive.

But I want something far different from you, Reclaimer.

Atonement.

And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions.

But I would have my masters know that I have changed.

And you shall be my example.
~ 032 Mendicant Bias, Terminal 7 on Legendary.

The bolded parts are the important bits. Bias betrayed the Forerunners during the Forerunner-Flood war, he joined with the Gravemind and went rampant. During the 100,000 years of living on the Dreadnaught, he became meta-stable (the stage where an AI is a true person) and wanted to prove to the Forerunners he has become good again.

He tells the Chief, "and you shall be my example". A previous Terminal states that he infiltrated the Ark's slipspace portal and has control over the destinations. Putting 2 and 2 together leads me to believe he's sending John (a Reclaimer) to where the Forerunners currently reside in order to prove that he's changed.
