I suppose that halo:reach is Fall of reach which making a game off a novel just ruined the game for the people who read it, ANYWAYS I hopethis will be good even if I read the novel like a thousand times

(its Linda on the far rigth of the halo: Reach pic)

and you know this how?

there is a distinct possibility that that isn't a spartan at all.

Anyways, no one knows anything about the story. One thing that can be said is that the one on the far left is the only Spartan that we can confirm.

In halo:the fall of reach (novel or book if you prefer) the spartan that mostly used the sniper is Linda, yes they are spartans the one on the far left is Sam (he was the tallest spartan2)
the one next to him is Kelly (the shortest spartan and she's faster then all the rest)
the middle is Jonh(master chief if you prefer)
next to him Fred
and right is Linda (the sniper)

But who said this has ANYTHING to do with the book?

Besides, only the one on the left looks anything like a Spartan in Mark 5 MJOLNIR Armor. Last time I checked bungie didn't accept this as a canonical armor permetuation, which would be the only way the second from the left or second from the right "Spartans" could actually be spartans.

well the only attack on reach was in the first book and the only spartans that where called are Jonh,Kelly,Fred and Linda

and it couldnt be a second attack cause reach got blown by the covenant and the spartans werent always wearing the MARK V armor,plus the one using the MARK IV (as in 4th armor not 5th) died wearing the MARK IV the other spartans are wearing MARK V

you really don`t know much do you.

there were over thirty Spartans on Reach during the battle for Reach. Most of them are ACTUALLY MIA, as those who would have seen them die are either dead or MIA themselves. This could be the story of one or more of them. ALso, Mark IV and Mark V are almost Identical in Appearance, as is Mark VI to Mark V. You certainly cannot see the difference from a shadow. Oh, and yeah, Every spartan had MArk V armor on Reach.

That said, there should be no major differences in appearance in the picture, but every single one of those characters is unique, and there has been no mention of any kind of any of the thirty Spartans wearing a customized permetuation.

Therefore, either there are four marines or ODST`s in that picture and one Mark V Spartan-II, or this is a story about a previously undocumented squad of spartans who HAVE special permetuations. It certainly isn`t Kelly, Fred, Will and Linda. (Yeah, John never set foot on reach during the Fall of Reach.)

I don't know if this will be the same as the book, hopefully it is, or as close as they can get to it. The Fall of Reach is such a phenomenal read, and my fave of the series, so any word of a Halo planet Reach game, I get ecstatic, because Reach was awesome.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

please no. That would be boring.
