Well this ruins the speculation:

'Halo: Reach is the prequel to the blockbuster Halo trilogy and is scheduled for release in fall of 2010.'

Im kind of gutted that this isn't something more, how about you?

Personally, I'm not sure.

I was surprised to see another Halo project come out other than ODST.

It certainly gives insight into the history of the Halo universe. It'll be difficult to incorporate more history than what Halo: The Fall of Reach (novel) already gave. If it sheds light on the rest of the SPARTAN IIs that isn't depicted in Halo: First Strike or Halo: The Ghosts of Onyx, then I'm sure it'll be a great game.

However, it does leave fans wondering what did happen to the Master Chief, and since the timeline for REACH will never intersect the events of post-Halo 3, this game isn't going to enthrall fans of Halo 3's storyline.

Hmm, i never read the fall of reach, and so i am relatively excited by the prospect, but i agree that the people who completed halo 3 legendary will want to see what happened to the chief. Perhaps the game will be a prequel that then continues until post halo 3, i know that would be a huge stretch for bungie, but who knows it would certainly please the fans.

not neccessarily.

Ghosts of Onyx is a prequel, but runs we'll past the games.

While it looks less and less likely to be true with every new piece of information, it is still plausible this story is about a group of Spartans that Fred simply lost track of (Presumed dead) during the book and their story, which may extend beyond the events of the game.

I know people think Halo: Reach may be on natal, but how do you think this would work? Maybe theyd give you a cut out of th gun to scan in? Im just not sure games like this could work, and it might just dilute the experience.
