Man, honestly, have NONE of you read the book, "The Fall of Reach"? Wow lol. Even just based on what I know, I would assume that the game will begin at somewhere around the middle of the book. After John-117's inception as a Spartan II soldier, and at some point after his training and around the time Reach is suddenly invaded. But Bungie, I really hope that you don't mess this up and that the game is nothing like the trailer, seeing as how if you read the book the Covenant attack Reach unexpectedly and there is a huge space battle between the UNSC forces with fighters, frigates and the orbiatal M.A.C guns surrounding Reach, and it appears that the humans actually turn the tide of the battle, but the Covenant quietly drop down hundreds if not thousands of dropships beneath Reach's atmosphere while the battle still rages in space. So it's nothing at all like the trailer, where the humans don't even half expect an attack. There IS an attack going already when the Covenant get soldiers already on the ground. By the way, all of the Spartans except for one, Master Chief supposedly "die" during this attack as one squad (half of the spartans) are sent to defend Reach on the ground, and the other half is sent to maintain control of a satellite orbiting Reach. Master Chief appears to be the only one to have escaped, but that is a different story. Anyways yeah, basically I just hope Bungie doesn't mess up the whole storyline and completely change what has already been written in the books..
