Battle of Reach Summary

- August 30, 2552
- The Battle of Reach took place over both novels, The Fall of Reach and First Strike
- John, Linda, and James took part in the Orbital assault retrieving NAV data from an ONI Prowler
- Fred and the rest of the Spartans took part on the ground assault by helping defend the Orbital MAC gun generators on the planet.

Most of the fighting will probably take place around the MAC gun generators, inside the military CASTLE base, and the underground Forerunner facility.


Sierra-259 and Sierra-320 are mentioned in the teaser, but it doesn't classify with any known Spartan II's or III's because the Spartan II numbering order finishes at 175 and the Spartan III numbering system begins with letter, for example B292.

So, who are these new Spartans? One can only speculate.

and the underground Forerunner facility.
I love how Bungie always manages to put Forerunner things into Halo. I can't wait until you go into there!

Nice Max.
Glad you pointed this out to me.

Sierra 259 made the call in the trailer, but according to the book Fall of Reach, Fred was CO of the rest of the team. Upon touchdown, Fred was unconscious while Kelly tried to revive him (??) So that's all I can think of as to why someone other than Fred would be on the wire. I'm think Bungie added extra spartans to add more players. 4 Player c00p

-Noble 1: Crashed Pelican carrying our heroes or Red Team?

The one major thing I want to know is will this be running on a new Halo engine or will it be running off Halo 3 and ODST engine. I will play it either way but I would like to know if they are going to improve the games visuals.

It's most likely going to be using the newest Havok engine, which boasts completely destructible environments and just came out last month, I believe.

Edit: And FYI, Havok was created for Halo 2, and Bungie has used it in both of its last games.
