All I picked up was "It will cover events in and around the planet Reach", along with the fact it was an FPS with multiplayer. nothing new - is there something else in there?

Halo: Reach "is a chronological prequel but it is not a prequel in the directions the Star Wars prequels were to the (original) movies," says O'Connor, a co-writer on 2007's Halo 3. says. "It will cover events in and around the planet Reach," where the invading Covenant first attacked humankind in the Halo story line.

I have never heard it put that way before. Its a bit mysterious to me. The "in and around" part seems to make the game sound even bigger than it has so far.

I don't know maybe i'm just tired.

I'm definitely tired, but perhaps it'll be a campaign covering the young Spartan II's training or something. I'm kinda hoping for massive story to answer some of the questions I have.

It means that rather than explain why chief is at Halo and the Covenant are chasing their ship, we're going to be following something that doesn't directly lead into the Halo trilogy we've played. It'll be related to the Human-Covenant War, and important to the universe, but not related at all to the Chief's story.

The 'in and around' part's quite interesting though. It gives me the feeling that this game is gonna look at space battles, ad that there's something inside reach - maybe a forerunner installation, maybe a shield world. Speculation-tacular!

They way Frankie describes reach as a Prequel was why I created.

Yeah i'm thinking they could be using Reach as a way to "chronicle" multiple stories within the Spartan Program. Maybe even the establishment of the UNSC itself.
