I'm sure key sequences in the storyline will be the foundation for the plot, but given the new Spartan number designations, I feel it will be a parallel storyline from the book.

The book isn't called Halo: Reach. The battle takes place during the books Fall of Reach and First Strike.

Exactly, but that doesn't mean REACH will be about stuff from TFoR or FS. It will probably be an entirely new perspective, so its not accurate to say there was a Reach book (ex. GoO isn't called the Halo 2 book even though it happens during Halo 2 on Earth and Delta Halo for parts of it).

It's not the same basic thing. Would you call Ghosts of Onyx the Halo 2 book? No, even though it deals with the battle of Earth and Battle of Delta Halo like Halo 2 does, its not the same thing, just as Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike are not the Halo REACH books. Oh, and: "This is Spartan-259."

Doesn't sound like a no-name to me.

We don't know if this game will follow Halo: First Strike or not.

  • 07.27.2009 3:44 PM PDT

I liked the theory which thought that the Planet being glassed isn't Reach, and that the game takes place over a few years. Which makes sense really, I mean, defending one planet isn't going to make for very interesting gameplay.

Yea it does sound like a no name because you dont know anything about her
Unless you do you know something about Spartan 259???
Anything????
Her real name????
And yes iid could care less if you call Onyx Halo 2 because Onyx pretty much is Halo 2 and you could call it that
When i talk to my friends about Onyx we say it is the book based on Halo 2 because thats what its based on
But Fall of Reach is Halo Reach otherwise they would call it that and what else happens there than what happens in the book
Im sure if the make a Halo Onyx game it will be abotu Onyx and the Spartan III's dont you..

Spartan-259 is a male, check the end of the trailer for evidence.

And yes Onyx pretty much is Halo 2 and you could call it that and when i talk to my friends i say its based on Halo 2Well you're wrong. If you played Halo 2 and then read GoO, you'd know that GoO runs parallel to Halo 2, its not based on it. Big difference.

but Fall of Reach is Halo Reach otherwise they would call it that and what else happens there than what happens in the bookWell we only see the perspective of 3 Spartans in The Fall of Reach (John, Linda, James), and we only learn the fates of about half of Red Team in First Strike. With S-259 taking the main point in the trailer, I think he will be the main player character, and we will be playing a parallel story, so not based on Fall of Reach or First Strike.

Halo 2 is parrallel based whtaevr on Halo 2 it happens in the same genearl time and about Spartan 259 if you know nothing about someone when you first learn about them they are considerd a no name like if you watch sports and didnt know a new rookie on your team until he is finnally doing good then everyone starts to like the guy and they make jersey's blabla same goes for actor's and director's like i have no idea what the guy's name in G.I. Joe is because he is a nobody actor
Im sure Halo Reach will be about John Fred Kelly Linda and James maybe even Sam depending on where the story starts

If the game is about them why would two new Spartans be introduced in the trailer? (two new Spartans who were not with Fred, Kelly, etc.)

To speak in MLG's defense, if anyone has any facts that would reveal Halo: Reach as a video game manifestation of The Fall of Reach novel, then present them. If you can't, then he is right.

Although the trailer certainly depicted the fall of Reach to the Covenant, nobody knows exactly what the game will be about. It could be about the events leading up to the battle, a certain thread/conflict in the battle, both, or none. I'm glad that he pointed out that the story in the Fall of Reach may not be the story in Halo: Reach, or may be, or parts of it will, or parts of it won't. You guys should really stop criticizing and get a better grasp on Halo canon before you start arguing.

Because they want to mess with you i wont buy the game if i cant play as Fred John Kelly James or Linda because thats why i wanna play Halo Reach because the story is great but yet its not the same i want to play the game exactly how the book was written maybe not as far back as being a six year old but Playing as John in his first mission when they captured the Rebel leader would be really coll since he had no armor and was the leader of his squad for the first time

If thats the case the story will be horrible because it will be jumping around too much (Halo 2 was bad enough!), the character development will be poor because, again, too much jumping around, and the gameplay would be extremely inconsistent.

*sigh* okay people listen up, heres what i think. the books do have a lot of jumping around but look at the upcoming odst game. flashbacks are jumping around like in halo 2, just more controlled. now i believe that odst will have not one major campaign but multiple minor ones. seeing there are 5 people so far, there could be five 4-5 chapter campaigns to view the game from the other spartans' eyes. OR i could be wrong and the game will have no spartan story. you may be playing as a marine watching the spartans strut thier stuff as you see Reach fall into covie hands. NOTE: i just wanted to post this cuz i was bored. in my opinion just leave the game alone until the beta comes out so we can see how it will look.

btw: the story goes 100 children were abducted and replaced by clones. they are the Spartan-II programs "chosen ones." only half of them become full fledged spartans, the rest either died or became crippled. Spartan 117 aka Master Chief aka John was the most prominent of them because he had what others didn't... luk. now if you hadn't read the books, many spartans die with, id say, 20 being left. the story mainly follows seven spartans (at most from what i remember) and some marines. dr hansley will be introduced and so will the other MAJOR spartans. other than that the Spartan-III program is introduced somewhere between halo 2 and halo 3, so ODST may be a part of that story.
