Actually, I think that Halo: Reach will not be based on the book.
I think it will follow the general concept of the battle for Reach, maybe copy a few ideas, here or there. But, for the most part, it will have a different story line and a different set of characters.
Reason:
Primarily, the Fall of Reach is too limited as a novel, you don't have enough story about the actual land battle, just a brief introduction towards the end. That doesn't have enough meat to write a story about it.
Second, the characters named already, Spartan 259, etc. don't occur in the book, thus, Bungie may already be breaking the Fall of Reach story arc by including these characters.
