We know what happens to reach, we know it will be destroyed. So if the game is totally 100% based on the book and non canon we can expect to play the game but ultimately in the end not win. What kind of game is predetermined from that start to lose? Any 'victory' you have is ultimately going to lead to glassing and any loss will be exactly the same.
There has to be some element in the game to turn it around, so that you can push back the covenenant and save Reach lest this game turn into a mere story cinematic with the player being nothing more than a puppet pushed along their predetermined destiny - to die.
You can't expect to win every time.
Of course we know what happens to reach, but we don't know much of what happens during that time, aside from some small moments with the spartans in the book First Strike.
The trailer leads us into the idea of other spartans on reach aside from the team that Fred had control of.
The element in this game might just be the whole experience of this side of the halo story. It's a really great book and story by the way. It could be like ODST in a sense. It could be a little bit of a mystery.
So don't jump to conclusions on either side of whether or not it's time travel or just plain ol' reach.
Stay open, keep an opinion, just don't try to argue your opinion as logic, it doesn't always work that way.
Also, why make an entire new thread? I mean really one is good enough.
