Send me $50 and I'll tell you how to get rich

Reach (I do believe. I haven't read the books either but my sorces are reliable) is the Human stronghold. It was the main base appart from earth. It had the second best defences next to earth which had the best defences. To lose reach would have made a large inpact on the humans. If they lost Reach than the other colonies would have fallen no problem at all. Even with all the spartans on Reach (All of the spartans except Master Chief, Grey team and one or two spartans but not sure about red team from Halo Wars They should be there if it keeps in line with the main story line) they still did not hold Reach.
Reach wasn't really where they stopped the covenant fron finding Earth, they did that anyway. Of course the covenant didn't know that Earth was the Humans home Planet they just knew a very important forerunner artifact was there. The elite brute thing... I'm not sure when the brutes were brought in. They are mercinaries and were not really hired but forced into the covenant later on I think. Training spartans were on more than just Reach I think. You learn more about the spartan thing in Cole Protacol I think. Contact Harvest (the book) would tell you a lot you ant to know though.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Well then time to read the novels, Read The Fall of Reach, it will pretty much give you an idea (or the complete) idea of what the game is gona be about.

1 Spartans that survived are Master Chiefs Blue Team (Except for sam whom got replace with Kurt) and also 3-4 more spartans (Cant remember were long time since i last read halo Reach book :P)... Spartan Grey Team no1 knows about as they are MIA, other spartans are dead as they know but are still being place under the MIA list since the government have told the people that spartans never died..

2 During the Events of Reach, none of the brutes were encounted for, as many of the Coventents race such as the lok'hlar( tha big alien with shield and cannon, forgot the game name for it xD). Were unkown for the humans.

3 The Harvest book are strictly about the first encounter with aliens, and were you follow the eyes of Sergeant Johnsson and the militia of Harvest (Were also Pvt. Jenkins come from).. None of the spartans were mentioned during this book... As of The Cole Protocol, i havent read so I cant say anything about that :P

1. The list of surviving Spartan II's by the end of the war are are made by: John (MC), Linda, Fred, and Kelly. Grey Team's has been MIA since 2551. So its possible they are alive.

2.lok'hlar, i guess you mean Lekgolo or Hunters. Elites, we're supossibly first encountered in The Battle for Reach (Even though i dont belive that) and the Hunters were first encountered in Sigma Octanus in Cote d' Azure. The brutes were never present during Reach.

3. In the Cole Protocole, you learn about Grey Team, How Cpt. Keyes made it to Commander and give's a more in depth look at the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Contact Harvest is about the first encounter of Human- Covenant and that it were the Brutes that were the fist official known Covenant race, but the Drones, Grunts and Engineers were also present, the Spartan's are not mentioned at all. but Operation: TREBUCHET is told a little. And the book is completly about Sgt. Johnson, but what dont understand is how Jenkins is a private in 2525 and still is in 2552 somehow, also i think Sgt. Johnson married the ONI girl that was on Harvest.

But James, should be listed as MIA, not KIA, he went missing aboard the Reach Oribital Station after a needler hit his thruster pack.

Keiichi we have almost no info on, so i guess he was KIA on Reach or before that as one the 3 Spartan's that Dr. Hasley said were KIA in the last decade (2542 - 2552)

Maria, was retired on Korea, but i guess she went back into active duty when the Covenant hit earth, and i belive she is the Spartan taht is too wounded to continue active duty, as Dr. Hasley says. But i could be wrong.

Fhajad became a Lieutenant Commander in ONI, turning him into the highest Ranking Spartan along with Kurt, then would come Fred (Lieutenant Junior) then John (Master Chief Petty Officer) but i guess the other Spartan's still would follow his lead. Well Fhajad could have been killed in Reach or was on Earth, nobody knowns.

The Spartans of Red team, i dont consider them Canon, but i do the events of The Spirit of Fire.

And Sheila, was KIA in The Battle for Miridem, personally witnessed by Dr. Hasley.
