HOORAH, SENIOR CHIEF!

I was thinking, why would bungie make a game with a story we already know? Yes, this has been confirmed a "Prequel", but that doesn't really mean its the same story as the Fall of Reach. Is it not possible that this is the same reach, just a few years after the fall? Like, a salvage mission to save any civilians who were stranded in the city? Or all the important ONI personel who were left in the Castle thing?

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

But if you like getting the real experience I recommend getting the books. For $60 you would be able to purchase nearly all of the books, I have read them myself several times and I am about to re-read Fall of Reach just to freshen up on the old stuff.

I even see they have a new book called "The Cole Protocol" out for $10 at bookstores. Personally I will be buying this this coming weekend if they have it at B&N near me. I highly recommend reading them if you get a chance

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Or maybe the story is one from a new perspective. We play as Spartan-259 and lead a squad including Spartan-320 (the small one in the banner?), members from Splinter Team Beta on Reach during its fall.

I have the feeling that it will be right after the fall of reach. We'll follow the story of the spartans still left on the planet which could possibly last for more than one game. By the end of this side series, which could be a couple years from now, Bungie may bring the master chief back into the picture when the spartans that were left on the planet finally find a spacecraft to escape in and while flying away find master chiefs cryo chamber floating near the planet.

Surely it has to be something like this. A new perspective is necessary to make the game fresh for the fans and new Spartans (or other characters) will be the way to get this. Otherwise objectives like "Defend the MAC ground based generator" will be kinda pointless.
