"Billtac just got a Killtac!"

Reach was the planet destroyed in the first Halo novel.
In Halo Combat Evolved (the first Halo game for Halo newcomers), the Pillar of Autumn stumbles across the first of the Halo rings (installation 05) as it flees from the destruction of Reach.

Reach was at one time the Military center of the human race. Spartans were trained here in secluded facilities.

This is NOT Halo 4! This will be a Prequel to halo Combat Evolved.

As we know from Halo 3, the code word for Spartans is Sierra. (Hence Sierra 117, or Spartan 117... master Chief)

In the trailer, at the end, a male voice speaks. "This is Sierra 2-5-9. You've got Spartans on the ground sir." - this hints that we will still be playing as Spartans, but not master chief as he is off on other missions. Also, this points to the presence of more then one spartan.

I just about dropped one in my pants when i saw this earlier... I will be reading The Fall of Reach again very soon.

Discuss.

(edit- sorry for bad grammar, punctuation, and spelling if I made any mistakes... I have a partially broken keyboard atm.)

Master Chief isn't too young... he is in space destroying a nav computer so the covenant don't find out where earth is. You definitely need to read The Fall of Reach.

I haven't read any of the graphic novels, but I am looking forward to this game. Especially since it is really hush-hush right now.

Reach was never destroyed

Your point?
If this is a prequel, then why would there be a Sierra 28(something)
Spartan II's only went up to 150.

In the trailer, at the end, a male voice speaks. "This is Sierra 2-5-9. You've got Spartans on the ground sir." - this hints that we will still be playing as Spartans, but not master chief as he is too young and off doing other things. Also, this points to the presence of more then one spartan.
The time Reach was attacked, was right before Halo 1.
So you're saying that MC is too young in Halo CE?

1- reach was mostly glassed over after the covenant got their hands on it.
2- who says they are spartan IIs? There was also a spartan project before the one that John was a part of. AND if they are spartan IIs, there could have been more by the time reach is attacked.
3-I edited my posted based on a mistake I made.
