think of this, Reach was the main military headquarters for Earth. Also the spot were the Spartan 2 project was created. What if this is where they were testing prototypes of weapons, and when the attack hits they decide to use the ones that are almost combat ready. However, none of these weapons/possibly vehicles are seen because the entire planet is glasses so these prototypes are destroyed in the action. That would be an innovative way to add new vehicles or weapons and makes sense with the reality of what Reach really acted as, military headquarters and birth spot to the most advanced soldiers ever in UNSC history.
