Big Halo Fan
Makes descent machinima.

Reply if you believe Halo: Reach is based on Halo: Fall of Reach or at least hope it is cause personally that book is one of the best Sci-Fi novels i read ever and it would be awesome to play through the early life of the chief. And I would love to see Dr. Halsey since she's technically Cortana, but human.

No, its just the Covenant invasion and you most likely will play as a side character either mentioned once or not at all.

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.

Bungie doesn't seem like the company to go over the same story twice. It's a war on an entire planet. This is a different story.`

What about the fact that Halo:The Flood is the same as Halo:CE?

Master Chief is not a have to have character in the halo universe he is just a hero. Persay Han Solo in Star Wars.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The Flood was written AFTER CE, not before. And they clashed Canon once in a while which was bad.

*Silloin kun näyttää siltä että ei ole mitään hätää niin tulee hälytyskellojen soida
*Neuvostoliiton hajoaminen oli vain showta
*Saksa on löytänyt uuden tavan vallata Eurooppa ilman yhtäkään panssarivaunua

It will most likely not follow the novel. That would be rather pointless and too limited for the actual battle on the surface. I don't like the idea repeating something twice from the same point of view.
