From the book or any other sources, how is Reach like? Is it like Earth? How's the weather?

I just want understand the scope of the conflict, you know. I know it's a military base-thing and that doesn't sound too exciting. Any chance of seeing snowy wastelands or nice beaches along side some UNSC metal in-game?

Also, how long did the entire battle last?

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to reading the novel yet.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

It's a lot like Earth. There's no specific things in the book mentioning the weather or beaches but there are rivers, mountains and forests that are mentioned in the books. Reach was also full of Titanium A so it also had lots of mining areas.

The battle lasted about 2-3 hours, however some Spartans did hold out in the underground CASTLE base for a few days.

A TRUE ODST KNOWS NO FEAR, BECAUSE HE DOES NOT RUN FROM BATTLE, INSTEAD HE RUNS STRAIGHT INTO IT, BECAUSE IN THE END WHEN THE CARDS ARE DOWN, THE COVENANT WILL KNOW FEAR, AND THEY WILL COWER AT OUR MIGHT! WE ARE ODST-ODST MAXWELL DEERING

I think I read in Halo: The Fall of Reach, that there was some type of forest, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty confident, we'll fight in a variety of locations, definatley a city..... no doubt about that.

I am a whisper on the wind...

Mybe not a city but a military base is very likely.

Durning the attack the skies will probably look like they're burining while the planet is being glassed (in the distance and maybe even up close at one point you see covenent ships glassing the planet)

I think that would give the game's/level's a pretty epic feel and a need to get to the fight and do what you can to turn the tide (even though it was the end of the line for Reach)

This makes me wonder, Will there be close to real weather graphics in Reach? They couldn't be implemented into ODST so this would be interesting.

I hope so.

H3 "The Storm" and ODST's "Mombasa Streets" would've been the greatest things in the world if dramatic rain were to be implemented.

Same goes for snow, 'tis why I was wondering if there were any snowy areas in Reach.

i hope there is a variety of locations, i don't want all of the levels to have the same environment (like ODST)

slightly cloudy with a high chance of alien LASER ATTACKS!!!! :)

any way this is my prediction

if you are fighting before the Glassing; standard halo look

if you are fighting during the Glassing; a lot of fighting underground.

if you are fighting after glassing; a landscape that would resemble Dr. Susses worst nightmare.
