I believe that there's going to be more to it than the Halo: Fall of Reach story we all know and love. Why would Bungie introduce new Spartans? Are they Spartan-III's or Spartan-II's? Their number classification sure does raise some questions. Why does Sierra-259 seem to reply AFTER the Battle seems over?

Any thoughts? Let's hear 'em.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Theres alot about the battle of Reach we don't know about, we only know the details about the first 15 minutes or so of the battle, and of course the events told in First Strike.

Theres a good two weeks of information that we do not know about.

i woke a bit ago and my son was playing halo 3 he was on forge i saw at the bottom of the screen was a charge for 35 dollars is that real or not did he charge 35 bucks or is that justfor the in game

-NO RECUITMENT MESSAGES PLEASE

In my opinion, the gmae will be based on the events that happened in "The Fall of Reach" but there will be more than just what happened in the book.

I'm also of the opinion that people are too closed-minded in thinking that the entire game will take place on Reach. I think it will span events that happened preceding the actual battle at Reach, including several skirmishes with the Covenant in various places.

That's a good theory. Do you think it will include the Spartans training and development?

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

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.
