Subject: Is Reach a moon?

Delusions and Grandeur.

As I stated in the Reach forum, Reach is definitely not a moon, as the body located in Reach's horizon does not completely dominate the horizon, and is therefore the moon in the equation.


that doesnt prove its not a moon pictures taken of earth from the moon dont fill the entire sky but im pretty sure the moon is a moon.


Exactly. I said it was a moon, did I not?

I think the OP is trying to contradict the game to be a smartass. Reach is a planet. "Reach is the fourth largest planet in the Epsilon Eridani system, and second closest to the star Epsilon Eridani."

That's no moon...


You sure are posting in the universe thread a lot more.

As much as I enjoy you interacting with us and being totally informal while doing so, I have a request for you to do otherwise.

This fourm has always had a very different and formal atmosphere than the others here.

While I don't mind you being funny about it, can you at least answer some of the canonicaly questions, breaks, or otherwise help us better understand the universe a whole, not just sarcastic one liners?

I dob't mean to be rude by this, but you guys hardly post here, and we hardly get anything out of you guys canonically, and now that you guys aren't making any more Halo games, it would be nice to get some more insight...

i love playing halo! and i would love being a bungie beta tester but my biggest dream would be working with bungie to make new kick ass video games!

I wouldn't trust what urk says about Reach. Just look at the campaign for the game. Completely craps on canon.
Nice try, but to bad Bungie has stated before their games dont follow the book cannon. Anyways at first glance you could think its a moon but no where in the books or games does it say Reach is a moon, therefore it leaves me to belive its a Planet.

Um, last I checked they said Halo Reach and Fall of Reach simply weren't describing the exact same thing.

I'm not sure Urk is the person to go to with canonical answers about the Halo universe. Not one of the official writers to the storyline (As for my knowledge). If he ended up saying something that was a hair off the truth people would be on his -blam!- about it seeing as though he's a Bungie employee. He's a person just like any of us. Just enjoy the funny post and leave him to relax a bit.

Imagine how bored he'd have to be to post in the Flood.

Anyone noticed that you can see Csodaszarvas twice on the map Condemned? Once righ next to reach out the main window, and another copy of the moon can be seen out the back window in the Generator room.

  • 04.14.2011 2:57 PM PDT

I'm sure someone's said this already, but. . . "That's no moon, it's a space station!"

EDIT: Crap, someone beat me to it. Oh well, at least it was urk.

Right? The man should be currently drafting an Ode to Halo 2 for tomorrows update!

But I get the feeling there will be no mention of that beautiful game. :(

Do it urk you champ.

Look, the hater is back.

It's called an opinion. If you don't like it, well, I'm truly sorry. Also, I'm not a hater. In fact, I love Halo. Just not Reach. Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time and I've been a Halo fan for awhile now. I just have a strong negative opinion on Reach. But, what do you expect? The game was more of a crappy side story, then the actual story of Reach. But, like I said, that's just my opinion and everybody is entitled to one. I respect your opinion, Cmdr, of calling me a hater. I can see how you would think that. But, just know, I'm not a hater. lol.

It's a planet. Although I do agree that the moon is too close for comfort. Whenever I look at it, I half expect it'll crash into the planet.


Oh god no...

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I want to know why Reach's moon has it's own moon? Is that even possible IRL? I feel a yo dawg coming.

I know I must sound like a brown-noser now, but that picture made me chuckle.

Just saying, your original statement comes off more as "This is a fact" then "This is my opinion."

Even though there is a lengthly topic where a number of points have been raised about Reach not destroying other canon.

Its pretty obvious that Reach is a *satellite* of the gas giant, you can see the orientation of the giants rings change substantially throughout the campaign, putting reach in what looks to be a polar orbit which is interesting actually, Reach did not form from the rings and is probably a captured planet.

Nothing wrong with reach having its own moon either (unlikely its in a Lagrange point arrangement a la alpha halo for a naturally occurring orbital system).....the sun has earth as its satellite, and earth has Luna.....and luna has the LRO as a satellite for one also.

Reach seems to be bigger than Earth, and the bigger moon seems to be about the size of Jupiter, but it is kinda close...
