Subject: What are your personal opinions on the Campaign of Reach?

I know many people have different ideas on what Reach's campaign might include. But judging by the trailer, the poster which looks suspiciously like a movie, and the name, I can make some opinions of my own. Anyone can make opinions here on what the game focuses on, and please do. I want to make some of my own. I've read Fall of Reach and First Strike. And I have a lot of ideas on what the game is about.

First, the poster. The characters in the backround look like spartans, and when Reach was under seige by the covenant, the entire spartan company save 3, was sent to help defend Reach's orbital gun generators on the planet. Master Chief and 2 of his teammates were sent to destroy an unhabited ship whose navigational databases hadn't been purged. Meaning if the covenant searched the ship they would know the location of Earth. Master Chief succeded, but two of his spartans were killed. The ground team of spartans failed, and although they were able to take out thousands of covenant, the ships in orbit glassed the planet and destroyed the generators. Without the orbital guns, reach fell. And Master Chief and the Pillar of Autumn fled the battle as one of the few ships to survive. I'm guessing this is what Reach will focus on, as you will take charge of MC in a zero G operation, and probably several of the other spartans on the ground.

The other possibility, is when Master Chief returns to Reach after the Halo 1 events, in Halo: First Strike, he meets up with the few surviving spartans that survived the glassing of Reach. The game could be about the Master Chief escaping with the spartans in a covenant ship and getting back to Earth before the start of Halo 2.

Just a theory, but anybody else should post there's. Mine is based mostly on the books and of fact. But I wouldn't put it past Bungie to completely surprise us. Or for me to completely misunderstand the books. Either way its a prequel to Halo 1 or a sequel to Halo 3. Just look closely at the poster, and the trailer.

Oh crap there are a lot of threads like this. And my guesses have pretty much been confirmed... Hooray! But at the same time, sorry...
