Subject: What Halo Reach is going to be.

First off, Halo Reach is not in any way going to be Halo 4. It is entirely impossible, for Reach falls before Halo. The game is most likely going to take place along the novel "Halo First Strike". I highly suggest you read all the Halo novels if you have any interest at all in the storyline.

Brief Summary of Halo First Strike:
Reach is being attacked by covenant forces, and the humans last line of defense are the MAC cannons. Master Chief sends spartans (finally the long awaited spartans, besides MC) down to the planet to help defend it.

The covenant are able to glass the planet, the spartans and DR. Halsey escape down a foreunner cavern with a mysterious shard.

Master chief meets back up with the survivors of the Reach system, spartans, Dr halsey, and admiral whitcomb.

Theres more to the story but it basically leads up to Halo 2. So, don't be disappointed when the Halo storyline doesn't end with this game, becasue it won't. Its all up to bungie if they ever decide to end it, or Halo 3 was the ending. My opinion, it wasn't that great, and was a cheap way out.

PS. Hopefully this game first follows the books slightly, and second, I believe Halo the first one, was and is bungie's best Halo game. I still prefer to play Halo PC over Halo 2 or 3 any day. So, lets get back to the old school game. Multiplayer on Halo is by far the best. Halo is still going strong 8 years later. If you look at Halo 2, nobody plays that anymore, and I doubt Halo 3 will last 8 years.

Great summary but put a little *spoilers* indicator before the text. Some people would prefer to read the book themselves.
