My first thought for the story would be the novel First Strike. After all, it does involve reach, a squad of Spartans with Master Chief present even. But then they aren't actually on Reach for that long, even if they find something really important on it.
Then theres the Fall of Reach. But then it'd be a horrible downhill battle of LOSING. I guess you could play as the Chief and end up in the Pillar of Autumn, but I don't think it'd be long enough to be a game.
Looking at the single massive figure and the smaller figures, perhaps the game isn't even about spartans. Or maybe theres one spartan and a group of regular dudes. Well, big dude isn't even at the center, so I doubt it'd be spartan focused even if there was a spartan! Or he could be a heavy weapons specialist that utilizes the prototype Mjolnir, although the damn thing needing to be hooked up would say otherwise. Although it could be like a tactical use thing in the game, gaining spartan-ish abilities in a certain area by using it if you find one. Squad based game based on the Fall of Reach lasting from start till end when Reach is finally a goner.
Someone did say big guy could be like an augmentation defect of a certain spartan. Alot didn't survive the process, and others weren't even combat fit. Maybe this guy just turned out weird, but could still fight. Going back to the topic of First Strike..... and thinking about how they were saying that there was going to be episodic content or something along the lines of that....
Perhaps Halo Reach is one episode. Hence rectifying the whole First Strike not being on Reach all that much. Maybe the slim figure is Kelly, Sniper is Linda, center is John, to his left is Fred.... big person is Grace.... I think there are names missing. Like Will. Or others I don't remember.
But then who knows. The idea of more Spartans, or a squad of Spartans being playable is totally awesome and everything but will it happen? Halo 3 was perfect for more Spartans to be around if there were anymore still alive, but then it was dictated that they all F--- off to Onyx.
