Subject: The Fall of Reach

Is Halo Reach gonna be based on the book,because if it is then there is gonna be like 22 spartans protecting orbital gun generaters.I don't think they could have that big a battle in the game.Would you piloting a ship in the space battle or a spartan on land?If it isn't space oriented than bungie should make a online halo game where you have your own ship and fight the covenant.

You must have mistaken "First Strike" for "The Fall of Reach," because the defense of the generators doesnt happen in TFoR. I reckon Halo REACH is about the battle of Reach, not TFoR or FS (though we will surely see scenes from the two novels, I doubt we will play as Fred or any of the other now-named Spartans as none of them were with a S-259 or -320 during the novels).

In the trailer though you hear a voice say "you have Spartans on the ground"

why would it say that if you would be fighting in space

Pronounced, Gray Em Eighty Eight

Reach is considered ground and IS a planet, so that dialogue makes perfect sense and your idea is... whack to say the least seeing as it's not the same if it would follow the books.

The space fight (Blue Team) happens in the end of Halo: The Fall of Reach, the ground fight (Red Team) which occurs about 15 mins. after the space fight happens in the beginning of Halo: First Strike.

It is an FPS, so space battles are unlikely, though much of the book was focused on space battle. Other then that in the trailer it says:

"We have Spartans on the GROUND sir..."

Ground, not space combat, and the difficulty for space battles would be far too great, if you were the UNSC, you would barely be able to retreat, let alone win a space battle.

When the battle for reach on the ground happened it was in the book First strike but it was during the battle for reach above the planet.Just because there in diferent books doesn't exactly mean that there at different times
