Ok, BTE. Lets indulge ourselves.
Why would you do anything if you don't get something new out of it? Simple answer: you wouldn't. Ever since i read GoO i have wanted to play a game in which you play as S-III Alpha and do the suicide mission. Same with S-III Beta and their suicide mission. Something about a huge massive war with 300+ Spartans catches my attention. Why do you say that you wont get anything new out of it? Reading something and then playing it or seeing it is something new. For some reason you don't seem to think so. Also as i have said earlier (in this thread). There are so many holes in the novels you could fit other novels, games or even movies on it. Just knowing what happens on those "holes" (as im calling them) is something new, so you will be getting something new out of it.

On to more constructive matters, people seem to be bashing time travel a lot, and I can't see why. I can understand the frustration with the definite proof people, but not time travel as a whole.
When writers have already said that time travel is a dumb cliche and its overused you gotta really wonder the possibility of it being in the game. What we saw on the teaser (the words at the begining) also hint that the game is a Prequel.

If you think about it, time travel has one important thing going for it: the 'secret' ending. After the credits in Halo:CE, 343 GS flies across the screen which implies he'll return. After Halo 2's credits, Cortana and Gravemind had a little chat, implying their mutual involvement will be important. After Halo 3's credits, the MC is floating above a planet that has been populated at one point, and could still be populated. That implies that the MC is not done, and that the planet will be important. If its Reach, it fits.
You also seem to forget that on Halo 1 we had the black marine (the one using the Johnson model) fighting against an elite, and then hugging when the PoA Blows up. Then on Halo 2.... OMFG ITS JOHNSON

Finally, heres another thought. What if the planet really is Reach, but not back in time. Perhaps the story in this game will build up to the MC's return to Reach.
Bungie said that the whole Master Chief arc would end with Halo 3. Sure, what if that planet is infact Reach. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.
