I just saw "Desperate Measures" for the first time, and I just want to say: Wow, this is really cool.

Now, onto topic. When the "narrator" says: "We've seen it all, Harvest, the other colonies, Reach..." that obviously means that ODST will be in Reach, (sorry if you knew this, never read the book) but do you think that it means that some of the Orbital Drop Shock Trooper from H3ODST will be in Reach? It's possible, and it would be cool, and I think it would really add to the story of Reach.

Again, Sorry, I never read the book, but I've read Summaries and Synopsis' for the book (includeding the Halopedia page, and I don't recall ODST being mentioned.

"I recken you don't come around these parts?"

he meant glassing
like glassing a planet, he was saying where it had occured

also he said
"Harvest, The Outer colonies, Reach..."

*There were ODST's That fought on Reach but the game trailer looked to have been set before the glassing occured so that means before halo
And if they were that would mean different ODST's maybe younger buck....

Actually, read the file on Sgt Buck. It says he saw action on Reach.

Master chief was not there. for the actual fight on reach. he was there afterward. then he got out before the whole planet got glassed.

no one survives planets getting glassed.

sorry if I'm mistaken, i havent read the books in a while...

Well, at the very least this might mean he'll pop up as an easter egg, maybe some random bit of radio traffic?
Also, Buck was a marine before he was an ODST (I think), and we know there were marines at Reach, so maybe...

Correct!
half correct, MC was with Blue team above Reach when it was under attack, Red team was on Reach. And not all of Reach was Glassed, so there were survivors.
