I don't think Halo REACH will be based on Halo: The Fall of Reach anymore than Halo 2 was based off of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.

i did read the Halo: Fall of Reach book. i dont remember alot of it but i do remember that the battle was alot slower pace. First the covenent had to destroy the battle station orbiting the planet and i dont remember them bombarding the planet with plasma nuke things. The was a lot more ground action. hopefully they will stick to the story and the chiefs spartan squad will kick some alien butt. and i think the last level will be the master chief escaping to the Pillar of Autumn. cuz in the book that ship escapes the battle with the chief and then they end up coming out of slip space right by Halo. thats when Halo 1 starts,

Halo the Fall of Reach has, actually, nothing to do with the fall of reach. there is a 30 page segment in which the action occurs.

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

ok for those who want to here my theory here it is: halo reach is NOT based on the fall of reach book as the book covers very little on reach. i think it is more based on the end of the fall of reach adn the beginning of the first strike as this is where there are the most opportunities for gameplay on the planet and altogether with spartans tell me if this makes sense.

It would make more sense to follow the book very little as possible. following the book, you would be limited to a one hour campaign. instead, it should follow brand new characters (not mentioned by name in any book) this way, (if they are all spartans) it could be the story of several spartans who were presumed dead, but survived and are now taking it to the covenant, possibly beyond the timeframe of the books, or even other games.

Lawl.
But in all seriousness I believe it'll be focused around the actual battle for Reach as the Spartans and maybe into a bit of First Strike.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

No.

In the trailer, there are no Covenant ships in orbit. No Space battle going on. And the Macs are already down. The Covenant appear to be already glassing the planet. Then you have the, "This is Sierra 259, you have Spartans on the ground. And were not going any where."

The narrative, the lead up to this suggests this is an important character in the game. And he clearly doesn't arrive untill late in the battle.

This together leads me to believe, Halo: Reach will begin, just before Masterchief leaves bound for Alpha Halo. In the same way Halo 3: ODST begins just before Masterchief leaves Earth, bound for Delta Halo.

I don't think Halo REACH will be based on Halo: The Fall of Reach anymore than Halo 2 was based off of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
It'll obviously be based on TFoR at least slightly more than Halo 2 was on GoO just because of the fact that Reach will be part of the the plot line.

Well Delta Halo and the battle of Earth were parts of the GoO plot line as well.

I'd say Halo: Reach will be a mix of TFoR and First Strike (when they flashback to what happened).

Maybe, maybe it will be a new story (surely we will see some of the stuff from TFoR, like the Spartans in the PoA, and some stuff from First Strike, like Red Team landing on Reach. But beyond that, S-259's focal point the trailer suggests a new story, so I wouldn't say that the game is based on the novels anymore than Halo 1 was was based on The Fall of Reach (the first cutscene from Halo 1 is pretty much spelled out at the end).
