A few things from the trailer support this. The first is that you see a shadow of something that looks like ship debris, perhaps the ship MC was on.
Yes, that ship looks a lot like Forward Unto Dawn because Forward Unto Dawn is a UNSC Frigate, a very common ship in the UNSC navy. Correct me if I am wrong, int the Reach trailer, there are 2 halves of the ship, but in Halo 3, half of the ship crashed into Earth, so that destroyed frigate in the Reach trailer cannot be the same one from the end of Halo 3.
The second is that at the beginning the trailer says "From the beginning, you know the end." What is the point in this? It could be to point out that this is a prequel, but the more logical way to do that is to post the date the video is from. So, this makes me believe that this is to make the viewer believe it is a prequel when it actually isn't.
You seemed incapable of using logic in this last post. Lets make it simple for you. It is a prequel, because of the phrase "from the beginning you know the end." That 'end' for Reach meant that it's surface was glassed, meaning that if this is not a prequel that you would have a lot of explaining to do as to how Reach regained it's atmosphere, oceans and ecosystem in less than a year after being glassed. Don't even think of bringing up a time travel theory, because the only time anomaly that occurred in Halo 3 was with recovering the Forerunner artifact on Reach, which was destroyed.
A spartan under the code name Sierra 259 speaks to the person who seems to be in command. I don't remember reading about this spartan in any of the books, so where did he come from? It could be a Spartan that wasn't near the events of the book, or it could actually be John 117, since he would use a different name because the John 117 of the time is there.
This spartan was never mentioned in the books and appears to be a brand new spartan. There is more that happens in the Halo universe than what we have read in the books. The phrase that sierra 259 says is similar to what the MC said when he found out there were spartans on the surface, but at the same time the MC said it in the presence of his commander, not over the battle COM.
This is all speculation, but it could definately be possible and would make for a better story and game IMO.
Please go back and read the books again. The Fall of Reach and First Strike are already amazing books and would make great games, adding time travel into the mix would make for a worse story.
