There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

"I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

So, no one (Except Bungie) has any information on Reach, except for it's name and the facts that it's FPS. So really, anything can go, anything could happen.
So, I thought I'd share my idea about what I think will happen in Reach. Feel free to agree or disagree, but keep the flaming and trolling to a minimum please. Thanks.

Well, the game will probably start on Reach. That's what it's called, right? You'll probably play as either one of the Spartans mentioned in the books or a completely different Spartan. You'll lead your team through Reach, fighting off the Covie while defending key objectives. Of course, this won't last for long and you are forced to get to an extraction point. Cue 'leave me behind' cleche.

After this, your ship will make a blind jump, while MC goes off to Halo. You'll probably have to defend your craft from Covie borders and uncover some important information.

Later on, we'll rejoin the Chief with his assault on the Unyielding Hirophant (Sp). Obviously, this bit is already mentioned in the books, so I have little to add to this.

After that, well, the game could keep on going, or everyone could die and that'll be that. But this is just my general idea of what will happen. Not much, but I hardly have anything to go on. Anyway... discuss.

I wish I was still legendary.

Frankie said it's an indirect prequel of the events on and around Reach. I.e. not something we already know about. Chief goes BACK to Reach and picks up spartans we already know the story of before Operation: First Strike, he doesn't meet up with them in space.

I'm personally thinking the majority of the game will actually be in forerunner structures. Underground ones, similar to AotCR and Shield World. The Forerunner complex we saw in First Strike HAS to be larger than an ampitheatre, hallway and star map. I'm leaning towards it being sealed because something intelligent (or at least alive) was contained even deeper inside.

Strength And Honour

I'm busy working through the books now, i'm reading First Strike at the mo and its fantastic stuff, i think it would be cool to start the game at the start, all the Spartans on the POA , a cut scene...the chief sending red team to the surface and the game actually starting with the chief and blue team landing on the super mac platform, once that was concluded another cut scene showing the Pillor of Autumn leaving the system, then we switch to blue team getting shot out of the sky and crash landing on Reach....
