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.
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!
