Do you think the Pillar of Autumn's jump toward the first Halo ring will take place at the beginning or end of the Halo: Reach?

I believe this will happen at the end of the game.

I also believe much of the campaign will involve Master Chief's early encounters with the Covenant, leading up to the final battle that takes place on Reach where you play as other Spartans, or, Bungie will change the story so that John-117 fought on the ground too.

Don't expect much to change from the novel. I won't spoil any of it for you. It's definitely something you should pick up though, probably one of the best books I've ever read.

I read the book. Just saying it could change for logical reasons such as how the Hunters and Grunts, who are fighting against the Brutes at the end of Halo 2 switch sides in Halo 3.

There's a major difference between the two. One has a short fictional explanation. The other is a complete contradiction of what happened in the novel. Like i said don't expect much to change.

The Pillar of Autumn jumped on August 30th, 2552, only hours after the initial attack. It's an FPS (we won't be firing ships in space) so it would make sense that this happens at the beginning of the game, since most ground action take places after the PoA jumps. (until September 23rd)

The novel ends as the Pillar of Autumn jumps. no one knows what happened to Reach after that...

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us - if at all - not as lost

well considering master chief was in cryo sleep at the start of Combat Evolved i would assume you wounldn't play as him. i don't think they put him into cryo then an hour later take him out

Read Halo novel "First Strike". It will explain what happens after Reach.

How can you go around posting all this false information. Have you ever heard of this novel, which details actions that you just said nobody knew about?

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

I don't think Chief will be making an appearance this time around. Masterchief sent the majority of Spartans to the ground to guard the MAC Generators. MC stayed to wipe the data from a ship located onboard one of the MAC stations, in order to obey Cole's Protocol. After MC, Linda, and Joshua wiped the data they returned to The Pillar of Autumn. Joshua however was shot in his jump-pack and floated out into space where he is now listed as MIA. Only MC and Linda made it back to The Autumn and Linda was practically dead. After which they left and, as protocol dictates, programmed random coordinates so the Covenant could not find Earth. They instead appeared at Alpha Halo. Where Halo: Combat Evolved took place.

Back on Reach Spartan Blue Team lost the generators and made their way to ONI Castle base where they met up with Doctor Halsey. She then provided medical aid and experimental equipment for the Spartans. The Spartans were then attacked by the Covenant and were forced into an abandoned mining tunnel. They continued through until stumbling upon a Forerunner installation. They then proceeded to find a crystal within the installation that could change the physics of slipspace. They then after a small battle left Reach. Reach was then presumably destroyed. The only time Chief returned was to aid Blue Team in their escape.
