FoR only has the first 15 minutes of the fall of Reach, the majority happens in FS. So I think the game will run more parallel to FS than FoR.
Also, I think that we will be playing as Spartans we don't know yet -- that is, 5 of the members of Team Beta, the 11 health Spartans left behind to guard the generators. With S-259 and -320 being Spartans, we're not going to be with Fred or any of the known Spartans on Reach (besides, CASTLE base wouldnt be enough for a campaign, there would be 2 missions, when they enter, and when they exit, there werent any enemies inside).
My theory-
The man frantically asking for NOVA-1 is asking for one of the two lieutenants leading Charlie companies, who were to retrieve the NOVA bombs for Whitcomb, but got stuck defending the generators. They were wiped out after HIGHCOM panicked and sent an airstrik in too close.
When reaching the generators, Fred speaks with Whitcomb, so his COM would be un-interrupted. While Fred is speaking with him, the man could have been asking for NOVA-1 and S259 replies: This is Sierra-259. You've got Spartans on the ground, sir. We're not going anywhere.
S259 would be one of the Betas left at the generator, and he and 5 more of them could have gotten away before the Covenant moved in to glass the facility after the Alphas blew up a Cruiser in the adjacent valley.
