What the heck does Frank mean when he says Halo fiction will tie together? Will they finally clear up the Fall of Reach?
I'm thinking time travel. That's the only way I can really see Halo 4 being a prequel as Frankie said in the panel. Either that, or just a fair amount of flashbacks in the game. Unless he meant a prequel to the next Halo trilogy.
I'm actually kind of hoping for some kind of well done, well explained time travel. Guilty Sparks statement in Halo CE where he makes it sound as if he's met Master Chief before reeks of some sort of epic time travel revelation, and to have it happen so much farther down the road for Master Chief (and especially the player) could make it an incredibly epic moment, or sequence, where the Chief would have to go back and interact with 343GS before firing the Halos(obviously this would require a LOT of Forerunner involvement, and so far there is little indication that the Forerunner have ANY real time travel capabilities outside of some slight fluctations caused by one of their crystals in slipspace(but who knows what a few isolated Forerunner stuck in a shield world for 100,000 years could come up with)).
If this were true (obviously its a ridiculously speculative long shot) it would probably mean that the Forerunner trilogy of books would have to end AFTER Halo 4 comes out, or not include the actual firing of the Halo rings if Chief is there (via time travel) as it would spoil that scene if it were in Halo 4.
Granted a plot like that could easily turn out really terrible, and it's more than likely not what they would do (people seem to hate time travel for some reason(probably because it IS hard to do well and can turn out pretty awful)) but if it was done just right, it could be very epic.
Or not.
