I would like to see a few things from the books (debriefing on the PoA, splitting of Red and Blue teams, Blue team's drop to the surface, move to the generators, and split into splinter teams Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta), but then the rest should be a new point of view.
Through the eyes of Splinter Team Beta would be most likely as they are not at all described in the novels, so this would be a clean slate. Maybe we will play as the 5 Spartans (check the banner) which appeared on Red Team between the end of The Fall of Reach (invasion) and the beginning of First Strike (the drop).
In the end of TFoR, John noted all 25 surviving and active Spartans, aside from Grey Team, having been present. In the beginning of FS, Fred notes 26 other Spartans on his motion tracker; Red Team. That makes a total of 30 Spartans at Reach (counting Blue in space)... maybe the 5 new ones are Class IIs, or some of Class I which supposedly "died" but were just secretly re-purposed for black ops missions.
Maybe since there was only 7 years between the graduation of John's Spartans and the beginning of the SPARTAN-III program, a Class II of Spartans entered training, but were abandoned. They could have still been stationed to guard Reach, though.
