may be book spoilers ahead

i just started reading the book harvest but iv read all the rest of the book including cole protocol

you start out as a spartan getting a mission to deal with an inne faction on reach as in one of the books it says it is highly populated planet with alot of military. great place for the innies to attack. as in begging of the book of harvest they attacked a space cruise liner on reach(pg127).
and in the end the covenant attack has just started which explains the video.

i'm no good at writing theorys i just read through all the books in about 2 weeks (yes i have way to much time on mine hands) so i thoght id give a stab at my theory for the story line

please commence ripping apart my theory like you have to the rest
or agreeing it is plausible

Unless Halo Reach completely disregarded canon i don't really think this would happen. The innies stay the hell out of everyone's business once the covenant show up.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Spartans weren't sent to Reach to fight Innies, they were just sent to board the Pillar of Autumn to prep for their mission (to go behind Covenant lines and capture a Prophet and a Covenant ship, possibly from High Charity). Minutes before they jumped to slipspace, the Covenant attacked.

no im saying you play as a new spartan who before (perhaps weeks before) reach was attacked was already there perhaps helping the military get rid of inne factions on the military most important world besides earth.

Spartans weren't sent to Reach to defend it, they were sent to Reach to organize and capture a Covenant ship and locate Covenant Homeworlds.

Read Cheewawa's post.

That doesnt make sense ethier why would they make you fight rebels especially since the Trailer showed the Planet being Glassed so im assuming the game will take place during the Invasion

I doubt it... the Chief (and presumably the rest of the Spartans) for their Mk V armor on the surface of Reach on August 29. Reach fell the next day. If it was before this, we would have the Mk IV, and then the gameplay would be too transitional between no shields to shields (what would be the point of starting the fight with Innies anyway?)

that wouldn't make since since its a prequel and the battle for reach lasted for about an hour at most(at least that's what I'm thinking) as a prequel to halo any way

Well from the perspective we saw in the novels (Fred), the battle lasted about an hour, but the war continued for weeks on the surface (only 5 Spartans confirmed KIA of the 27 which dropped, 14 are nameless and have no fate... yet).

We will probably play through a new perspective as one of the nameless Spartans (Team Beta?) so that we get a mix of the old story, as well as a totally new one.

it is military based planet right if you have enemy's on you door step and you have the means to destroy them.why wouldn't you? plus they had to have been testing the new armor on someone i know in the book it says it wasnt tested but oni have hid info from dr. hasley before aka the sIII

weeks of war was after spartan 117 was away and this is supposed to be a prequel

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

Do you really think that the innies would want to fight the UNSC while the Covenant is murdering every human they see.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

There were no insurrectionists at Reach, all of the insurrectionists were located in the outer colonies. Reach would be the worst planet for the insurrectionists to attack since they would literally get owned by the UNSC.
