Subject: Announcement trailer hints at relation to book?

The trailer states the game "FALLS 2010" Falls = Fall of Reach?

The trailer also mentions "pings" being detected below the "orbital defense grid" this could be referencing the Covenant dropships that were deployed during the space battle above Reach that went unnoticed until Captain Keyes thought to have Cortana scan for them.

"You know the beginning" "You know the end" to me that is clearly referencing the book.

This is all based on speculation from the trailer and Halo: The Fall of Reach that I finished reading last week. (awesome book BTW) MC is a bad ass.

So......What do you think?

Each of us is entitled to our own opinions on music. There is ignorant rap and then there is intellectual rap, just as there is ignorant rock and intellectual rock. Even the "ignorant" artists can sometimes be intellectuals, and even the "intellectuals" can be ignorant. The worst thing you can do is be a bigot about music. If it doesn't have any affect on you, then listen to something else. But don't insult someone because their choice in music is not your own. THAT is ignorant.

LOL my bad. Maybe i should change the subject to "Just stating the obvious" I wrote mainly to catch the attention of people thinking the game either: wasn't based on the book (i've seen a few about), not a prequel and people coming out with wild theories.

People are thinking the game isn't based on the book? While that might be possible the only logical thing I can think of for a game set in Reach is the Covenant Invasion.
