Those two planet(oids) are not "almost identical". They are spherical with horizon lighting. By that logic, every planet in our solar system is the very same planet so long as we never see them more than one at a time.
Xbox.com confirms that Halo: Reach is a prequel.
Halo Wars was ran by a completely different studio, was an entirely different genre, had plot inconsistencies, and relied heavily on cinematics to tell its story. It was not an immersive experience like the other Halo games have been and will continue to be.
It is unlikely that Bungie will even base the game on The Fall of Reach, as Reach does not even "fall" in TFoR. If we follow the story of the novel(s), it will likely focus on First Strike, and even then, it is likely that we will be introduced to new content and storyline that was not present within either novel, considering how "Sierra-259" and "Sierra-320" have never before been introduced to us.
Lastly, as one of the more involved fans with the Halo universe, I loved TFoR and First Strike and would absolutely love to see either one made into a Halo title, even if it is word for word. They are incredible stories, and would do the franchise a world of good if done correctly, as the majority of halo players don't even know what the hell Reach is, or that there ever were other Spartans. Introducing some more backstory to the general fanbase is an incredibly awesome idea, and knowing Bungie... they'll likely tie a few details from the game into what is to come somehow, as they always do.
In closing, shut up. I'm getting tired of people whining about a game from which the only media we have is a teaser trailer and a banner image of silhouettes. Whether you like it or not, this game is a prequel, not a sequel, and whether you think it makes logical sense or not (and... you're one of the minority there), that is not going to change.
