It's all crazy, It's all false, It's all a dream, It's alright

They are Spartans in the banner & No one knows for sure who you will be playing as because John wasn't in The Battle of Reach for very long, plus in the teaser trailer they mentioned 2 new spartans, so its anyones guess :D

I have a theory, suppose the game isn't actually about the battle of reach, the one immediately before halo CE, but set way before then, when the spartan II's were still young. If you look at the image, and then read 'the fall of reach' you'll notice that the spartans in the picture match up pretty much exactly to master chiefs 'blue team'. The 'big' spartan on the left, in the book it says that 'sam' is bigger than the rest of the spartans, by a 'head and a half', the spartan next to him 'kelly' the book states that she is by far the quickest spartan, and in the poster, she looks very lean and like she could be quick, the spartan on the far right holding a sniper rifle, it says in the book that 'linda' is the teams sniper. The spartan standing next to her 'fred', you can see he is holding a knife, and in the books he is very good with a combat knife. And it is fitting that master chief 'john' stands in the middle because he is thier leader.

Fred wasn't known for the combat knife. He held it in one section of the book just to describe the scene and people suddenly think it was his specialty.

I doubt it would be that, pretty boring gameplay if you ask me.

when i said about fred, it came out wrong, i didn't mean to say he was good with it, but he is the only one the book ever describes with a knife, so thats what i'm assuming, but the rest of the profiles fit pretty solidly :)

True, the profiles do match pretty well. I just hope the game is about the battle of Reach, rather than training. I'd find it pretty boring...

Hopefully it do some of the Battles before Reach, One mission will likely be Sam's death.

Their not going to make a game based on one battle, well you might be disapointed.

I have just been looking on the internet to see if there were any events that happened on reach, before the battle of reach, and the 'insurectionists' launched a terrorist bombing on reach, maybe part of the game could be about that? but just because the title says 'reach' thats not to say that entire game is going to be set there, maybe after they get thier armor, there is a part in the book where they board a covenant ship, this is the part where sam dies. maybe the rest of the game carries on from this point?

Sam will have more than 1 mission, but the mission he dies he'll be fighting off Covs until John and Kelly can escape.
