Before ODST, rumors were floating around about a new squad base tactical shooter. After confirmation it turned out ODST was not this and still an FPS.
In early 2007, former marine Christine Allen joined with Bungie.
And has worked on games like: Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six. Bungie
stated he was not working on ODST, and on another project.
In the new Halo: Reach trailer (as revealed by ign) you hear from Sierra 320.
She says, "This is Sierra 320, pressed for combat in session" (As I interpret).
At the end you hear "Nova 01 come in, Nova 01 do you read me." (Nova or Noble)
And the response from Sierra 259, saying "This is Sierra 259, you've got Spartans on the ground sir. We're not going anywhere." The original Spartans only went up to Sierra 150.
I believe that this "Nova 01" is actually a squadron of Spartans, and this "sir" was trying to contact them for assistance as they are Nova 01 and an even more elite team of Spartans. A test and a last hope for Reach. (Again "01" implying first implying test).
Then the (I think RESPONSE) from Sierra 259. Leader of that team and the game's protagonist.
My speculation is only furthered with the cover image; 4 spartans and one (robot?). Left to right impressions: Robot (or huge abnormal suit) holding a big (chain gun?), female spartan (judging by slender figure), Captain (Sierra 259) of Nova 01 (judging by placement in middle and laid back, take-charge way he's holding the AR), this next one is more tech support (random guess), and the sniper focused spartan. That is why I believe Halo: Reach is a squad based tactical shooter playing as Sierra 259 and commanding your squad called Nova 01.
There it is. My theory on Halo: Reach, keeping in mind that a lot of it is WILD speculation. Take in, digest it, and do with it what you will. Of course ign believes it's a second wave of spartans coming in to help which "coming in" doesn't make much sense considering that the spartan super soldier were started on Reach.
