For anyone thats read the books, we already know the ending of Halo:Reach if this is the
case. Let me elaborate on this, if you haven't read the books.. fine. That's all well and good, but you still know that ONLY master chief survives of the spartansNo. Chief, Linda (and possibly James) survived Reach because they were in space. Spartan confirmed survivors of the ground-side battle by the time the Chief and Johnson come back to Reach after Halo 1 are Fred, Will, Kelly, Li, Anton, and Grace.
There were only 5 confirmed KIAs on Reach (Joshua, Malcolm, and 3 unnamed), out of the 27 Spartans which fell to the surface, meaning there could be up to 16 other survivors (Vinh, Isaac, 11 healthy from Beta, 3 crippled from Delta) at Reach... we just haven't seen their story. Yet.
and thats enough to know that theres nothing to be surprised during the events of the game if this is the case. There's nothing to say OMG too or, like the Flood in Halo:CE for example. We don't know what is under Reach. We only know of the battle through two perspectives so far (Chief, Fred).
Reach is glassed, end of story. The spartans die, end of story. There's nothing to be enlightened about or no story to be immersed in, when you know the sum of it all in the end. Even if we do play as a seperate bunch of spartans, we still know they die and their objects are failed.No.
Another thing, why would it be called Halo if Halo has nothing to do with the events of Reach or the Battle? The only reason Halo 3:ODST is called Halo is because it's based directly off the Halo 3 engine, the weapons/etc of Halo 3. Its also effected and directly influenced by Halo. That means the story events of Halo 3:ODST wouldn't be existent if Halo itself (The Ring) existed. I don't see how Reach was effected by Halo whatsoever, and it's going to be based off a completely new engine(Fact stated in an interview) so why would it bear the Halo name if it's not going to be based off a different plot?It's the same universe. Why was Halo: Contact Harvest called Halo?
