Obviously it's going to go on the Halo: Fall of Reach story and the Spartan-II Program. If you want to find out what this game is most likely going to be like, read the book. Lets just hope that it's not like the Harry Potter series with the movies...

I highly doubt it will follow the events in Halo: The Fall of Reach.

Why would you say that?

Because the trailer teases us with "Spartans on the ground," fighting the Covenant on Reach during its fall. This doesn't happen in Halo: The Fall of Reach.

We don't learn what happens to Red Team in The Fall of Reach. We see the fall of the planet Reach from the groundside battle in Halo: First Strike.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

So it's pretty much the end of Fall of Reach and the begging to mid of First strike in the timeline?

Well I'll take your word for it. I just tried to find my copy and I can't find it. I swear I remember several Spartans encountering a huge force of Covenant when they sent down a team to look for something...

But... Red Team was supposedly with Halsey weren't they?

Pulled from Halopedia:

"The SPARTAN-II "aura of invincibility" was shattered by the massive casualties inflicted on Red Team because of their combat with far superior numbers of Covenant forces on Reach. Though inflicting heavy damage on the Covenant, including destroying a Covenant cruiser and a military base set up to secure the ground, many were killed in the insertion and in the subsequent engagements.

Correct, but if Spartan-259 is the playable character we will follow the perspective of Team Beta (we followed Team Alpha in the novel), so it will be mainly a new story.

what? you want a bad game?

also, it probably isn't going to be like the book, considering the book really had nothing to do with Reach.

Um... not so much. Yeah, there was a lot going on during Reach not mentioned in the book but that was the whole point of the book, the fall of Reach.

in which, was entirely about nothing to do with the battle of reach. there was a 30 page segment at the end of a 300 page book about the battle of reach.
