I mean, the very first time they put on the MJOLNIR suits. I'm reading through The Fall of Reach for a second time and it all sort of fits. It would be a good tutorial level (movement and aiming) and Sam is alive at this point. Shortly after is the attack on the Covenant ship that is attacking the ship the Dr. Halsey is onboard and Sam dies on this mission (IIRC) It's also roughly half way through the book. It wouldn't be to early yet to late. About thirty pages back there is first mention on the Covenant and shorty after is first contact with them.

Updating this post as I keep reading >_>

Thoughts? Corrections? Ideas?

1. No bumping
2. There is no information whatsoever to indicate that the game has anymore than a canonical resemblence to the book.
3. Considering they only recieved shielded suits a few days/weeks before the Fall of Reach, I doubt they would use a tutorial so far back in time and unrelated to the planet.

More than likely they all get the Mark V shortly before the invasion of reach.

And for the record a lot of Spartans died on Reach but more than just Master Chief gets off the Planet before it is glassed.
