Death is the only thing that is inescapable.

Bada-Bing Bada - BOOM

Since bungie has already revealed without actually saying it, that Bucks in ODST, its safe to say that he is once of the characters...probably the center guy.

There were 2 spartans that were talking in the trailer, so if any it would be the big dude with the chain gun and the second last guy on the right. if you remember, in halo: Fall of Reach, Will's squad lost several men while getting to ONI CASTLE Base so these could be the spartans and the marines which got separated and had to fight their way out.

Although i have no proof of this, the small character on the left could be Dare as the helmet even has the shape of a Recon helmet. this could even be where Buck and Dare hit it off...

as for the sniper, no idea...it can't be romeo or something like that...

And for the gameplay: it seems possible that it could be a squad based game and could rely on each characters skill.

again its easy to say that in the end, the others sacrifice themselves to let the main guy Buck, Dare escape from the horde!

So, what do you think?

if you finish ODST then you'll see that Buck was on reach even if you go to his CV, he was there for the battle of reach. as for the banner the only person that looks tall enough to be a spartan are two mentioned i mean, maybe the third is standing closer and thats why he looks bigger...

Oh and haven't you read in his CV that if buck was any better he'd be a SPARTAN! that got to count for something!

In the teaser trailer for Reach, towards the end, the radio transmission goes to a spartan saying "we've got spartans on the ground" my guess is that those depicted on the Reach banner are all spartans.
I like your theory though. Who knows until we get more information from bungie...

P.S. Buck might just make a cameo

No. If anyone from ODST is in Reach it will most likely be a cameo. If we are ODSTs again I will blow up Bungie Studios.

Betatesters are disposable.

I don't know what you think, but the big guy doesn't seem to be a spartan at all. He.. it has the shape of an elite or something... dunno. Maybe it's the way how he/it/whatever is standing there, the big legs. the small waist. And he is holding the gun with one hand. I don't know any spartan who can do this (which doesn't mean its impossible). And it seems to have big shoulderplates or something.

Whatever, to me the big person on the left looks like an elite.
But I don't know how this could fit into the story...

matter of fact, halopedia says the call sign "Noble One" may be for an elite. as for the shape, it certainly looks similar to an elite... it could be an elite that split from the covenant and was helping ONI

What if, the ship from Halo 3 went to Reach when the portal shutdown? i mean there is speculation that the planet in the legendary trailer and the planet from Halo:Reach is one and the same...

Plus, bungie said that this is their last game before a new IP, so they have loads of stuff to wrap up before that...
1 - Spartan in the Onyx portal
2 - Chief's fate
3 - The missing Spartans (grey team still missing)
4 - The other halo's!

As for the the timing of when Reach takes place, it could even be after or as the war was winding down. Reach hadn't been completely glassed and there could have been a battle group sent to gather what ever they could find over there and they meet...

The Spartans from Beta Squad who were supposedly killed in the glassing of reach...

The theories go on and on...i really want this game!!!

phew...that was a lot

ODST's were a little annoying in Halo 3:ODST. I like spartans more.

plus the spartan 3's from Onyx are missing (they were reposted before the events of Halo CE its self) so maybe, its how Buck and them worked together or something during the battle of Reach.

Its damn possible that you'll be a Spartan III with heighten senses and more of a mix between ODST and a Spartan...

Every person on that picture is a spartan
going left from right
sam he was a big gun guy
kelly she was the smallest but the fastest
john maybe master chief
kurt because he never likes to step out but look first
linda because she is the best with a sniper

as much as everyone might hope for that to happen, Bungie has said that this game is a prequel to Halo CE....oh...wait i get it...

But Chief wasnt't on reach, sam was dead, linda was clinically dead, and kurt was training the Spartan III's.

if someone suggests that they timetravelled or something i'm going to shoot them...
