All I know is that Reach happened before Master Chief.

Reach didn't happen before Master Chief, it happened before the Halo trilogy. Big difference.

When you said why is Master Chief on Reach, I hope you meant when he was inside the Pillar of Autumn, other wise, i don't know what to think of.

You don't get that reference.

Halo n3w8. FPS n3w8.

I've got a whole lot of explaining to do...

First of all, Reach is the PREQUEL to Halo 1. It takes place on the planet Reach, one of humanity's last major strongholds. In it, you play as Noble 6, also known as SPARTAN-B312. He is a SPARTAN-III, put onto Noble Team (a team of SPARTANs) in place of a member who recently died (Thom).

By the way, you should know that Master Chief isn't the last and/or only SPARTAN, although he's one of the last.

At the start of the game, Noble Team discovers that the Covenant has invaded Reach (they also get a data chip with intelligence about Halo, which they give to Halsey at Sword Base). So, as the game progresses, you mostly go on missions meant to kill tons of Covenant (one of which leads to Jorge's death; Long Night of Solace).

Later on, Noble Team is assigned missions to get to Sword Base and then to Catherine Halsey, the creator of the SPARTAN Project (along the way, Kat dies). Upon reaching Halsey, she gives Noble 6 the AI Cortana, who has knowledge of Halo and where it's located, knowledge that could end the war and ensure humanity's survival (and later did). At this point, Jun leaves Noble Team to be Halsey's bodyguard. Noble Team's job is then to get the AI (Cortana) off of Reach, which they can only do by bringing her to the Pillar of Autumn, the last human space-travel ship on the continent that they're on. Carter dies along the way, and once Emile and Six arrive, they see that there are a bunch of Covenant ships blocking the Autumn from escaping. Emile gets to a MAC cannon to try to shoot them down, and Six gives Cortana to Captain Keyes. Emile then gets killed by an Elite, meaning that he can't provide covering fire for the Autumn to escape. So, Six decides to sacrifice himself, gettin on the MAC cannon and destroying a Covenant ship so that the Autumn can escape, and therefore leaving himself stranded on Reach left to certain death. And so, he dies, and the Autumn escapes to Installation 04 with master Chief and Cortana aboard it.

If you don't know how the rest of the story works out, Chief finds out that Halo is a weapon meant to wipe out all life in the galaxy and blows it up in Halo 1. Then, in Halo 2, the Covenant find Earth and invade it, and find another Halo (Installation 05), which the Arbiter stops from being activated. The sudden stopping of Halo's activation puts the entire Array (all 7 Halo rings) into standby mode, which prevents them all from being activated unless they're activated from the Ark (which would actually be a safe place to fire them from because it's well outside of the galaxy). In Halo 3, Chief and the Arbiter meet up on Earth, go through the portal to the Ark, stop the Covenant from firing the Array there, discover that Installation 04 has been rebuilt, and then get the idea to activate it to wipe out all the Flood and Covenant around them, which is safe because it's outside of the signal range of all the other Halo Installations, so Chief goes to get Cortana, who he was separated from in Halo 2, because she still has the Index needed to activate Halo from the first Installation 04, and then he goes to the new Halo, and activates it, although he was told by the Installation's Monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, that an early firing would destroy the new ring and damage the Ark, which turns him (Spark) against them (Chief, Arbiter, and Cortana). The ring activates and explodes, and the portal to the Ark closes while the ship they're escaping in is halfway through, leaving Cortana and the Chief in space above the Ark and drifting towards some Forerunner planet while the Arbiter makes it back to Earth, which all prevents Halo from ever being fired again, and causes the religious government of the Covenant to collapse, as it was based almost entirely upon the firing of Halo, and wins the war for humanity.

That's... a lot of story to go over.

How did you not get sore fingers typing all that at once?

  • 12.28.2011 12:31 AM PDT

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

cant tell if trolling or serious.... in any case yes, this halo shows the previous events that took place before halo. oh and if you really were trying to troll you could have at least been a bit more subtle about it.

In space, no one can see your shame. The utter beauty of the stars and galaxies will leave you lost in the desolate wasteland of rocks and dust, and that, children, is why astronauts are crazy people.
On a side note, I am a grammar & vocab-friendly guy. So don't assume I'm a smart ass if you get into a complex argument with me...

...You fail so hard, I am disappoint.
