Halo Combat Evolved
I got dem BrAiNDAwGS in me

If I remember the book correctly, there were many battles that the chief was in, so I dunno why IGN said Chief wouldn't be the main star.

Loyalty is all I have.

Well for one, if you remember the book correctly, than you would know that the Chief escaped to Halo right after the Battle started, so if Halo: Reach takes place during the battle for Reach than he won't be involved.

The only way you get to play as the Chief would be if they divide the perspective like in the Call of Duty games where the story is told through multiple Characters, If anything Chief will likely make a triumphant return towards the end. Also correct me if I'm wrong but before he and the Autumn left, didn't he, Sam, and another Spartan whose name escapes me invade a Covenant Cruiser and blow it up with a nuke or was that before the battle of Reach. Sorry haven't read the book for a couple of years.

Well I remember chief had to go to an asteroid to find a terrorist, then go to a jungle to save some people, also there were some other Covenant fights that the chief took apart in. Also there was a cool fight at the beginning of the book.


SO I think we play as chief for these missions. Even if they follow the books, Bungie can still put stuff into the story that does not break canon.

Your liver is a slut.
Hey, don't be a zumbo! Join Halo Wars RTS!
I'm right 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4%?

*sigh* I'm tired of talking about who we'll play as... Whay can't people just wait until Bungie tells us?

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

Well if this truly focuses on Reach as the name implies, then it is possible(since from the trailer you can tell the battle just started, seeing as how they were surprised of the slipspace ruptures) that you will play as the chief in the beggining of the game. You would however have to change pretty early on in the game(maybe a level or two) to a different Spartan, unless Bungie wants to contradict Halo 1.

It is also possible that you could go into the chiefs perspective later in the game seeing as how after Halo 1 Chief and Cortana went back to reach to check for survivors of the battle


Another possibility(a much more possible one) is that you will play as Sierra 320, or Sierra 259(which I believe are confirmed characters in the game)

Yet another possiblity(which is one the most likely) is that you will take the roll of either Fredric-104, Kelly-087, Will-043, Anton-044, Grace-093, Li-008, Issac-039, or Vinh-030, seeing as how they were all present on Reach during the events of Halo, but Fredric is probably the most likely of all of the Spartans that are listed here to be in Reach

If that was too me then you are stupid. First the game could have missions before the covenant invade reach. Also who says the missions should only be 15 minutes?
