before I start, I WILL report any racist comments.

a French magazines claims they got exclusive infos on HR.
nothing REALLY surprising though. according to them, the game will be based on two novels. they did not say which ones but I guess we can assume it's TFoR and First Strike.

so it MIGHT mean we'd not play as 117 but as another spartan, trapped on reach when it got glassed.

Basically it says "There's some new info on the plot of halo reach. What we know is from video game magazine. We've learned that it will be based off two novels one takes place before the events of Halo:CE and the other is about the remaining Spartan II's after.
"One novel is "the fall of reach" that tells the story of the spartan IIs and the grand battle of reach. But the second novel might be First strike which takes place after halo and before the events of of halo 2.
"This information also confirms that we will play as another Spartan II and not our famous John-117
"In an interview, Bungie Studio's Harold Ryan confirmed that Halo reach will use project Natal. Bungie was allowed access to this technology so it could be used in their next game."
Basically.

^^^^ a pretty accurate translation :) thanks.

Microsoft's carelessness was a colossal failure.
They failed to protect Halo 2,
When the great journey is upon us
Their heresy will stay their feet.
And they will be left behind.

From my own opinion, I think its about the battle of Reach and you have one of the squads from the SPARTAN II Project. They all specialise in different things, and John-117 is the leader of the group. LIke, before Halo: CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3, Master Chief had two best friends named Samual-034 and Linda-058. Samual was shot by a plasma pistol and it pierced his armor, so he said to leave him behind and he'll make sure the vessal explodes. (They were on a mission to destroy a covenant cruiser)

And so, John-117 and Linda-058 seen the vessal explode, with they're buddy onboard it. I forget how Linda-058 dies though. So, I think its about MC and his squad, as they made him their leader when they were 8 years old out on a mission for survival. So, maybe is set before 2534 because that was when Samual died. Or maybe he dies in the game. Well, its on Halopedia.

Like, the secret ending to Halo 3 is when you see Master Chief floating around in space and a Halo ring lights up behind him. So, hes MIA ATM for now. The squad consists of about 7 people from the picture. Or maybe I'm entirely wrong about my opinion.

Linda didn't die. And she's not Dead. She's on Onyx with Fred, Kelly, Mendez, Dr Halsey and the remaining Spartan IIIs.

As for the game, no doubt it will be based solely on the Battle of Reach and its Fall but it won't be based of either book. That's not saying that the Spartans won't appear though.

My personal opinion and thought is that you will see those Spartan IIs but play as a bunch of different dudes, mainly standard Marines and one ODST. And at least one Spartan, S-259, mentioned in the trailer. If anything the mention of a new Spartan, one that doesn't exist in any known part of Halo canon as of yet means that attention will be drawn away from the Spartans we do know and onto these new guys.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

We could be playing as multiple characters if it is based on two novels.

The ones closest to the Chief were Kelly and Samuel, not Samuel and Linda.

Linda doesn't actually die. She got put into cryo pod and was revived by Doctor Halsey.

the secret ending to Halo 3 isn't a Halo firing behind the Chief.

Well, people want proof of what you're saying, and that is if it isn't leaked information. Some people here are bilingual anyway. I speak some rough French myself and would love a link to the source.

in that case, here

as I said (I think?) it's a PAPER magazine, not a website, that claims it. so unless someone scans the page, I can't have more. but if that site says the magazine wrote it, then I believe it. they're serious.

So basically no new information, except for the fact that the theories of -259 and -320 being Spartan-IIIs would be debunked if this information is true, assuming they are Spartan(s) we play as.
