As the title says, how far back should the story go? By this I mean, when in the timeline should the game start? If you read the novel "Fall of Reach" you'll know that the book starts when Jon (Master Chief)gets taken as a child. The book then continues to show what training was like as a kid.

So would you like to see the earlier days of Jon or would you like to just start right as the Covenant attack Reach?

I'd like a quick recap, maybe the tutorial level can be SPARTAN-II training, but not like this big silly slog through every mission and enemy before the Covies show up to crash the party. I want to jump in quick, but not too quick.

Actually, the last training mission, in the mountains where John and the SPARTAN-II cadets attack the Pelican and Mendez promotes him to Squad Leader would make an excellent tutorial mission. Only five enemies, lots of allies, moving and running and jumping... sounds good to me, at least.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Just before the Covenant arrive at Reach.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!
