Subject: Shields in Reach?

This is just a little question that came to me.
Did the spartan armor already have shields when Reach was attacked?
It's been a while since I read the book, so I don't remeber.

yep, they received the shields right before the battle started.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

That is luck.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Now I wonder, will the game start with Reach being attacked or will there be missions before the invasion?

Some stuff before the first hit would actually be neat as an introduction.

I have a feeling the game will start right when you receive the shielded armor in some underground testing facility on Reach. Every game starts off with some technician examining your armor, or giving you a new set of armor, and then doing a diagnostic on it. Bungie uses that diagnostic as a sort of mini tutorial for players as well as a prelude to the storyline. I expect they will do the same for Reach.

Well the start of Reach is going to be shown in like 3 weeks. We might find out then.
