Not sure if anyone else caught this, but James (a spartan) drifts off into space and died in the books, and in the reach trailer as the remains of the ship float by you can see a silhouette of a body floating somewhat close by. It's hard to notice unless you watch in full screen but it's in between the two streams of dust/smoke.

Just thought this was interesting.

James never actually died, his thruster pack just shot him out into space.He could still b alive and play a part in reach.

Well I'm hoping he's just unconscious in the trailer then :) I could have sworn he was dead

He was the only spartan trully listed MIA

All the dead ones were also listed MIA because, "spartans never die"

Yeah I noticed that as well, in the books James is said to go missing in space so I think they are trying to connect it with the book junkies out there.

I just downloaded the highest res of the trailer and watched full screen, there's a piece of debris that is hurling towards the body, and just as the body exits out of the screen you see a leg and an arm move from where it was before, it looks like the debris misses him but by a hair. whatcha think?

Looks like IGN found it before I did

NOTE: you can view that video in HD, I'd recommend it.

Try watching the down loadable trailer in full screen on windows media or quicktime (whatever you have) The biggest size is the best, it may take a while to download but it's well worth it!

Not true, when james was out in space he could of found a nearby ship (human or covenant) and used it to get 2 reach 's surface

Listen.There are three shapes in the smoke.
First off.The figure is to big for any Spartan,forget normal humans.
There are also two other shapes that are exactly the same above, and somewhat below.
I figure they are either debris or something along the lines of a Pelican.

The only way it could be plausible is if James was picked up by another ship because I'm sure there was a limited supply of air in the suits. After John and Linda returned to the PoA they scanned for James, but found nothing.

good theory

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.
