Is the Halo game time line like this now?:

» Halo Reach

× Halo 3: ODST

× Halo: Combat Evolved

» Halo Reach

× Halo 2

× Halo 3


So does the storyline from Reach take place before and after Halo Combat Evolved?
I hear all people saying this and that, but does anyone have some actual info, or read the books? I'm just curious.

Thanks already.

Guys, read his question.
Reach is before and after Halo: CE.
Halo CE took a week of game time, while Reach was a week and a bit.

ODST is between Halo 2 and 3 though.

the fall of reach is before HCE, period. not after.
first strike is after HCE, and so far we have no evidence that the game will follow first strike too or not.

Read the book.

Halo: CE starts with the Pillar of Autumn escaping Reach during the Covenant attack.
This makes Reach before Halo: CE.

Halo: CE ends with the Master Chief in a Longsword, flying away from Halo.
In the book, he gathers survivors and boards a Covenant Capital ship.
Now, he goes back to Reach, where he finds it is not completely glassed.
There, Spartans are still fighting.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like Halo: CE was both after and before the story of the Fall of Reach.

Edit: I forgot where the Fall of Reach and First Strike meet, but I'd say the game focuses on the Spartans on Reach.
