No at the time of Halo: Reach, the arbiter was still a normal elite and didn't have the title "The Arbiter" he was just called Thel' Vadumee.
yes at the end
Halo Wars takes place on planet Harvest. You can see planet Reach in the starting movie on Halo 2. The green-blue planet the Covenant ships are hovering over as the Arbiter tells the Prophets about the Pillar of Autumn.
The master chief is in a cryo chamber aboard the pillar of Autumn during the events of halo reach.
With time and patience.
At the end of the game there is a video showing certain people getting into the Pillar of Autumn. You (Noble 6) actually never make it.
Reach was a UNSC colony, and the last defense for earth. In Halo: Reach, the Covenant finds Reach and attacks it. The planet gets destroyed, and not 2 minutes after the UNSC ship Pillar of Autumn discovers Halo.
Reach is supposed to be the prequel to the first Halo. The Arbiter that we know and love wasn't promoted (or demoted depending on how you look at it) until Halo 2.
You cannot see the Pillar of Autumn in Halo 2 because it exploded when Master Chief detonated it to destroy the Halo ring and the flood and covenant on it in the first Halo game.
No, he can be seen in an isolation chamber in the last cut scene as an Easter egg in the game. The pillar of autumn takes off from reach, then lands on halo which is where the story of halo 1 begins.
About 2500. The Pillar of Autumn was prepped for a mission to enter covenant space and seize a prophet. They packed as many troops onto the Autumn as possibly for this risky mission. Unfortunately, before they could get their mission underway, they were re-assigned to defend planet Reach, and ended up at Halo. The majority of the Pillar of Autumn's crew were infected by the Flood and then killed by the Master Chief.
no, finishing the game on legendary shows him landing on a nearby planet and cortana saying "wake me when you need me"yes but some say no because in legendary at the end master chief and cortana go to a strange planet (even though in halo reach you have to deliver cortana to the pillar of Autumn) but in halo reach its in halo1 so the pillar of autumn is still there
I believe that it is one of the last ranks you can get in halo reach.
