Easter Eggs.
We all love them, right? Right.
I think that since Reach was the staging location for the SPARTAN-II Program, and was where they trained for the majority of their childhood and teenage years, this set of Eggs would be perfect for this game.
I remember in the novels Halsey going back over a training excersize in which the child-Spartans used their teamwork to take down a squad of marines wearing MJOLNIR Mk II armor in a pitch-black cave, in the flash of an eye.
Pretty cool, right?
For those who don't know who Halsey was, she was the mastermind of the SPARTAN-II Program. She handpicked the 150 candidates; her brain was also the blueprint for Cortana. In a sense, Halsey is Cortana, and Cortana is Halsey.
More or less.
Since this game will probably be about the fall (conquest) of Reach, and not a re-telling of The Fall of Reach, (which has absolutely nothing about the ground battle of Reach in it, and this wont be a First Person Captain game) we probably won't be seeing much of Cortana. The entire Battle of Reach, Cortana was in the Pillar of Autumn, which jumped away to Alpha Halo before the planet fell.
Surely there would have been more training (and combat?) logs stored away by Halsey for review. Narrated by Halsey. This would be the best we could get without having Cortana. I would like those as the new side-story. In Halo 3, we got Didact/Librarian. In Halo 3: ODST we got Sadie.
In Halo: Reach, it would be nice to have the Spartans' story.
