great tribute GR, lets hope the users how the same amount of respect

i dont care if people hates michael

but please, repect the dead, at least for a while...

PS360Rulez was basically right.

cept we probaly wont see the "origin" of Masterchief

mostly because the part in the novel about the origin dosent really have a lot of action

training and obstacle courses dont make a good shooter. cutscenes are out of the question since it would take too long.

btw the spartans arent emotionless, it may seem like it in the game, but in the novels (Halo: Flood being a prime example) masterchief gets mad, sad even afraid.

What's Halo:Reach?
its the direct sequel to Halo :Combat Evolved.

ever wonder why the Pillar of Autumn was running from the covenant in the very beginning of halo 1? they entered a random slipspace in order to escape Reach after the covenant had started to glass it.

Reach was THE best defensive planet/location of the UNSC, and nobody thought it would be destroyed. All the spartans (save John 117 and Linda) were deployed to defend Reach, and all died except a few. After the first halo was Operation First Strike, the first ever strike on a covenant cruiser (as the name suggests), and after this came other events that seperated John/Masterchief from the rest of the spartans.

So basically Halo: Reach is the prequel to Halo:Combat evolved, but Masterchief will probably be left out of it due to the fact that he was in space during the attack on Reach (what he believed to be the hardest mission)

but yeah the trailer sucks

wtf gamesradar! the two words i have to type to post this comment is "suck stan"

jeeesssus

w.e new talkradar!!!

FREAKIN TIMELY TYLER!

JUST finished House M.D. second season when i read "Dr. House? We need you!" (timing was uncanny)

well if you think about it, how was this article NOT serious?

the only hint of sarcasm was just the plain fact that it was on GamesRadar, which is known for its sarcasm

Lizzie states that the novels arent canon (...) and claims false things WITHOUT ever showing any sense of humor or sarcasm

and the last two words, are clear signs that she was serious

all im saying is, even if this is a joke article, it dosent seem like it at all

>

im back again to shatter another theory, now understand that im only doing this because im a HUGE fan of halo

its just like that mass effect controvesy on fox, this is how i feel

anyways, they dont CLONE the spartan candidates, they FLASH clone them, this means that the clones will eventually die off in a quick period.

NOT to mention that the master chief was born at 2511, forge was born at 2502.

how would they know that forge would be such a success when he was only NINE years old?

"The games are the only thing we consider canon"

arent you being a bit carried away?

the books are probably more canon than the games, bungie states that the stories are in canon.

yeah i know, im overreating, but come on.

cloning in the halo universe? why not clone 500 master chiefs?

btw "Forge" is the name of the map maker in Marathon, a previous Bungie game, and they stated that it was just a NOD to that, nothing more

if this gets mentioned on TalkRadar, i know im going to be known as one of "the assholes" but im willing to risk that for my dedication of halo.

im sure some guys will understand, its like if i told Charlie Barret that Gabriel Knight actually takes place on another planet.

i probably wouldnt be doing this if not for the last two words.

so, you know what?

CASE OPENED, COREECTED, CLOSED AGAIN.

...sorry for being a jerk

uhh sorry gamesradar, but im gonna have to shatter your theory

reading all the novels and following the halo story line, we know that master chief was never a sergeant

also master chief was never present at harvest during the attack on harvest, instead he was briefed on the situation and sent to another location, where he got his new mjolnir armor (the one seen in halo 1)

so even IF he went to harvest after being debriefed, its almost guaranteed that he would use his new armor

also masterchief's first battle with the covenant was AFTER the situation in Harvest

also the comparison to the face is not correct, bungie already stated that the "face" is a photoshopped picture of an employee, and has no bearing on what masterchief looks like

i know you guys really dont mean this article to be serious, and im probably overreacting, but many people will think that that IS the master chief, and being a hardcore halo fan im just informing the people who read this article



SHORT VERSION

-MasterChief was never at harvest during the time of Halo Wars

-The face in the beta was a photoshopped picture of a bungie employee
