I love my ducks!

I predict that halo reach is based on the novel The Fall Of Reach, what do you guys think?

Obviously. Why else would they call it Halo: Reach?

Lmao I presume so. There looks like multiple Spartans in silhouette in the main image so it seems to be the case.

Dyor' Docuree (2nd in command of the powerhouse, The Sangheili Army)

probably something like that . . . i wish we could get more pics and stuff (at least info). all that it's done for me is make me want to know more (I hate that feeling, but I can't control it).
Anyways, it looks good to me.

I'm hoping its about Fred and the other Spartans left behind on Reach, and their fight back to earth.

I also see a taller silloite, arbitor before he was disgraced perhaps?

This is my theory. (there are enough threads already so I'm gonna post it here)


It seems pretty clear from the trailer that the game is set after the Covenant glass reach. You play as the deployed Spartans, as they try to take back one of Earth's most important colonies. What genre of game you ask? That the million dollar quoestion,

So far so simple.

Right, now the events of Halo 1,2 and 3 take place over about a month, give or take, and you can't deny thay the Planet in the legendary ending looks very similar to the one featured in the Halo: Reach trailer.

My theory is that Master Chief has ended up near Reach, and will join the rest of the Spartans for the remainder of this game, to help eliminate the Covenant on home turf.

There were various Spartans taller than the Master Chief. He looks nothing like an elite, regardless.

OH MY SWEET LORD JESUS, HE SAID RECON! GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

My bet is you start as fred just as the chief slips out of the system, so, really its following first stike. Chief comes in at the end of first strike and helps em all escape reach before its completley glassed. So thats the best i can think. Of course we already know whats happening, how it happens and whats gunna happen, so there is no real story if it takes place during one of the books, so i'm hoping it dosen't, becuase the reason i love halo is the story in combination with the gameplay, if all i'm getting is just gameplay i donno if i want it.
