I was watching through Halo waypoint videos of the new Reach maps and when i was watching the breakpoint video:

At 0:13 you see the Shield World symbol

Here is the shield world symbol :

That symbol appeared on Onyx , the halo array and the ark

So does it means breakponit takes place on some important forerunner world,maybe Onyx northern pole or another world.

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

Breakpoint is set on Reach, as far as I remember being said. This symbol appearing is interesting, but given Bungie's track record with Reach and the canon they've probably made Reach a Halo now... :P

Oh

It would be shocking if they reveal that Reach is a shield world but that doesn't makes sense,or else the covies wouldn't have razed it's surface

We'd know if Reach was a Shield World. It draws no similarities to Onyx, which had no tectonic activity, an unusually strong planetary magnetic field, and slightly higher than normal background radiation - each of these anomalies was because of the trillions of Sentinels that formed the planet itself.

I thought that symbol was simply a Forerunner symbol, placed on all Forerunner facilities?

I think that symbol represents The Array, not just the Shield World. We have no idea what that massive Forerunner artifact under the glacier is used for. It may very well be a portal to the Ark. If I'm not mistaken, several were placed through out the galaxy. Correct me if I am wrong on that.

Interesting theory, though it may just be placed on a halo like forge world.

because a few retcons ruined the entire franchise including the Forerunners, amirite?

Everyone just needs to move on, some retcons (almost all of them explainable anyway) aren't that big a deal.

Besides, the AI Committee of Minds probably had a say in the truth of it all...

You know that a retcon is basically another way of Bungie saying "lol, we -blam!- up"? Sure, with a universe as big as Halo's there are going to be inconsistencies but games like Mass Effect have an even bigger universe and have no retcons. (*Waits for Wolverfrog to say "RPG > FPS"*)

Also, I don't think you quite got the sarcasm in my post, you took it too literally...

no, I got it, I was more speaking to everyone who complains rather then just you.

And ME having a bigger universe then Halo? First off, Halo has numerous novels, several more games, comics, Halo Legends and the whole briliantly written Forerunner, Flood, Precursors, and Humanity mystery that is mind boggling (see the Iris campaign) wheras ME has only two--soon to be three--games, three books and a comic or two.

Regardless of the size of the worlds, I can safely say the Halo universe has the longest, most expansive and possibly most well-written story I've ever heard of, rivaling Shakespear.

That and Halopedia has six times as many articles as ME's on wiki

That was a different symbol, it is described as "double-lobed" which the Shield & Sword glyph isn't.

The Snow Leopard's wisdom includes: Understanding one's shadow-side; trusting one's inner-self; agility; strength; the ability to stalk; understanding the power of silence.

Didn't Bungie say that Breakpoint takes place in an UNSC facility built around a Forerunner structure mysteriously fused with the planet, possibly due to teleportation?
