The First part of your argument is defunct (there is no reason why a prequel would or wouldn't work)
Everyone knows within the gaming unvierse that prequels do not work. Why? Because for there to be a prequel, you would have had to played the sequel to the prequel (no pun intended)
Well by that argument i could very well say this
Everyone knows within the gaming unvierse that sequels do not work. Why? Because for there to be a sequel, you would have had to played the prequel to the sequel
If anything sequels don't work, not prequels
With a prequel you at least start from the begining of the story, where everything is explained
With a sequel you are dropped into a world you no nothing about, that's some people who bought halo 3 hadn't a clue about the story, because they had not owned a xbox, and had not played Halo CE and Halo 2
Halo Wars. Massive hype, terrible outcome. Bungie and no doubt Microsoft would have learnt from this that doing a prequel where you know the outcome (to a certain extent) wouldn't work
Regarding Halo wars, i'm not sure why in your opinion was a "terrible outcome". Is it because it wasn't a FPS? the story wasn't up to scratch? Personally i think they did a good job.
"Knowing the outcome" what outcome was that??? The fact that everyone thought it would have taken place entirely on harvest, where in reality it took place on mulitple planets and locations, widening the story line and the halo universe!!!
Halo: Fall of Reach. An indepth book by Eric Nylund. Theres no way in hell that Bungie would base a game on a book that has 386 pages of indepth detail on Reach. What would be the point? What could there be that Bungie could add that wasn't written about in detai?
Personally I enjoyed Halo: Fall of Reach by Eric Nyland, however that doesn't really matter, we all know that the books are only based losely on the game and aren't 100% accurate, there is no need to think that what happens in Halo: Fall of Reach will be the end all of Halo Reach.
While we all assume the five spartans in the trailer are Fred, Kelly, Vinh, Isaac, and Will, however
It is entirely possible that Bungie will introduce previously unknown Spartans as the main characters. Based on the E3 trailer, that seems likely. Master Chief was a member of the first wave of Spartans, but the books repeatedly mention a second group in training. During the trailer, Sierra 320 announces she is ready for insertion and Sierra 259 says there are Spartans on the ground. If these are the call-signs for Spartans, they would be numbered higher than any of the first wave that Master Chief was a member of. And since we don't know how many Spartans took part in the second wave of the training program, it could be that we'll see many more Spartans in one battle than most of us previously thought possible.
