Next time you should say that. lol

And no, Because if it's the same Reach that has been talked about, this is going to take place before Halo 1...

"From the beginning, you know the end."
It's a prequel, pure and simple.

isn't there still spartans alive on a planet I thought was reach but which one? I've only read the fall of reach but i coulda swore i read about a spartan team MIA somewhere. Well i'm not sure if I'll automatically assume it's a prequel only because it's TOO obvious. I'd like to believe they're actually planning something surprising but hey it's bungie. Probably will be a prequel.

...WHAT?

Not following your logic here.

Yeah, ask anyone with half a brain how the POA could possibly fly in an atmosphere (or SoF, even though it does). Granted, it's a series that contradicts itself at nearly every turn, so this whole "argument" about how ships can fly in atmosphere is pointless.

My theory is based on the fact,

The trailer contradicts what we've been told about glassing.
The trailer contracticts what we've been told about Covie space flight.
The trailer contracticts what we've been told about the Battle of Reach.

Well i guess that count's you out, you like to pretend you know things when you don't, you've shown this many times recently.
Before you accuse me of trolling again, Don't.
The pillar of autumn or any ship that has been classified for in atmosphere flight would presumeably beable to you know, fly in atmosphere otherwise why would captain keyes land the ship on halo and why or how could the covenant repair truth and reconcilliation so it could fly again?

Oh man tough guy on the internet!!!

Generally speaking, spaceships are for flying in space. But hey, like I said earlier, Halo constantly contradicts it'self. The books say one thing, the games say other. So why are you trying to argue when there's not even an answer?

Yet, you're trying to throw my whole theory out on the basis "ships can fly in atmosphere," when you haven't even bothered to address any of my other points.

This thread is for E32009, if you want to continue this make another thread or we can take this over PMs, rather than derail this thread..

The books, none of it has EVER SAID that ships CANNOT FLY IN-ATMOSPHERE. The ONLY thing that has EVER been said about the Halo universe's ships is that they cannot JUMP in-atmosphere FOR SAFETY REASONS. THAT IS IT.

Jesus christ, man, this is science fiction we're talking about. SHIPS ARE CAPABLE OF ANTIGRAVITY. IT'S A GIVEN. It's assumed that they are unless the story explicitly states otherwise. Halo has never stated that ships cannot fly in-atmosphere.

... they already said Reach takes place during the Battle of Reach on the planet Reach. They even specifically mentioned "oh, yeah, that happens before Combat Evolved." just in case you forgot.

If there's one thing Bungie doesn't do, it's blatantly lie.

e: In Halo 2 and Halo 3 they flew a bunch of ships in-atmosphere, and they talk about doing it quite a bit in the books.

Didn't that pre-halo 3 release video like Arms race or something show a POA-like ship flying in-atmosphere?

Furthermore, I don't recall warlord acting like an ITG.

If anything im more of a Dalek nut than a ITG.
