This has been floating around in my head for a bit, but have you ever wondered what it meant in the beginning for our Ghost to say "you've been dead a long time?"
What if Earth, or Old Russia, is really one of the provinces of the planet Reach? Think about it for a second. We were given a task to save the planet as Noble 6 and ultimately failed. The planet was reduced to glass and the terrain completely changed. This was also Bungie's last game, their "swan song" to the Halo franchise, and having our personal Spartan die on the battlefield is a symbol of moving on from Bungie's heartfelt story.
Now fast forward a few hundred years. Humanity get's pushed back by a new enemy known as the Darkness. They discover the Traveler. The Traveler makes its last stand on the lone Earth-like planet. "In its dying breath, the Traveler released the Ghosts." These Ghosts then revived us from our "eternal slumber" because we "belonged to Reach."
The subtle connection is there. We died in Bungie's last Halo game, only to be revived and returned to their world in Destiny.
What do you guys think of this theory?

Interesting. In that case Leo never died in Titanic. It was all one big dream until he woke up on the beach in Inception.
-
There's a tiny problem with your theory [spoiler]Earth isn't Reach[/spoiler]
-
A few problems... Earth is Earth, not Reach. It has a moon, and is in the solar system. The other planets are named Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which shows that the Earth we play on is the same Earth in real life. Plus if Reach fell, how did humanity ever get to survive to be crushed by the Darkness?
-
It would of made sense if the moon wasn't looming overhead in Destiny.
-
No... The cutscenes are from an exp standpoint. That's why the ghost has to explain what the awoken are to you, even when you play as an awoken.
-
What's reach? Lol
-
thats very well put together. never really pondered that till now. well done
-
Destiny takes place in ~2700, so it's possible!
-
There is a lot wrong with this
-
This is stupid. Earth isn't Reach dude.
-
Mind. [spoiler]Blown.[/spoiler]
-
So many things wrong with this.
-
Should've tried for a connection with Ghost's of Onyx. Would've made more sense.
-
Interesting theory but we discover the traveler between 2000-2100. Halo Reach is 2551, so nope. However it would have been cool.
-
Seriously though that one seen makes me more intrigued than the entire house of wolves reveal.
-
To watch or not to watch that is the question...
