It'll probably be a slideshow of the already leaked screens with a five second delay between them.

What? I didn't know there was another Halo game? Is it another game like Halo Wars or something? Or like ODST?

I is so confused....*-*;

@Rachel Fogg: It's called Halo: Reach and is a prequal to Halo 1. In the book series, Eric Nylund wrote Halo: Reach as the first book in the series. The first book takes place pre-Halo 1. Thus the birth of Halo: Reach.

It is sort of an "origins" type of story. To be honest, Halo: Reach was my favorite book in the series and really opened my eyes to the story line. It makes Master Chiefs ability to kick ass believable. I'm excited for sure.

@Th12eat: The book was actually Halo: The Fall of Reach. Though I'm expecting this game to take place at SOME point during that book (since the book took place over the course of almost 20 years or somewhere thereabouts) I doubt it'll be a straight adaptation, but will more than likely be about something during that peroid that the book didn't cover.

@Rachel Fogg: It will presumably detail the "Fall of Reach," which was covered in the Halo novel that I never read. The biggest selling point, to me at least, is that it will feature several Spartans. Not sure if Master Chief was old enough to be one of them or not at that point.

Don't know that they've released any gameplay details, but I'm assuming/hoping that it will be more FPS than RTS.

@Rachel Fogg: This is the prequel to the Halo Trilogy. before the spartans were all eliminated. it will probably be very similar to ODST flow wise, but instead of multiple ODSTs you will play as multiple spartans.

@fearing: If you watched the little short-trailer that came out over the summer it showed Reach getting hit hard. I assume that this will take place smack dab in the middle of "The Fall of Reach" plot. I'm imagining cutscenes of the training and medical procedures endured by John Spartan 117 and his crew intermittently shown throughout a few space levels (where they lose Kirk), some covenant ships (as he infiltrated some during his first few missions), and lastly Reach. All of these levels will include slightly less spartans as you progress (as that is the end result of "The Fall of Reach", all but John Spartan 117 is left [or so were left to think!]).

@Th12eat: Listening to Buck's dialogue in ODST makes me think he will probably be there in some form. The way he yells about how the Covenent are going to glass Earth just like they did Reach and how Dare responds that they made it out of there etc, makes me think we'll be seeing what that's about, also at the begining she and Buck talk about how his squad is replacements, so we might see who they are replacing(the people who's silhouette's are in the teaser maybe? Maybe not, I dunno). Wether you play as a Spartan, an ODST, or something else, I think is still up for debate of course, but it'll be interesting to see.

Halo: Reach = New shooter game. Probably last one made by Bungie out of their 2 game deal.

@Communist Pope: No Master Chief will not be in Halo: Reach, unless the game details the fighting in space. All Spartans that were in the initial group are the same age as the Master Chief. There were hints in the books to new Spartan training groups, but there was no word if those groups ever came to fruition.

Also, the battle of Reach is happening at the same time as Halo 1 takes place. Reach is attacked hours before the Pillar of Autumn slipspace jumps to the first Halo. That's the reason why there were Covenant when the Pillar came out of slipspace at the beginning of Halo 1. I believe the Halo CE manual describes what is going on, and that the Pillar has indeed just left the battle of Reach.

@Communist Pope: Master Chief was around in fact but I don't think he is going to be one of the playable characters. I haven't read the novel either but I have done quite a bit of research on the story. From what I understand Master Chief wasn't actually on Reach but involved in the battle in some other way. I think this is going to be about a group of Spartans from Master Chiefs squad trying to defend Reach.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong for I am certainly no expert in the history or lore of Halo.

*spoilers if you wanna read the book*

MC and a handful of others were never able to get onto Reach to help out though, they were in orbit fighting on a station. He was on the Pillar of Autumn when they jumped out using a random vector. That's when Halo:CE picks up.

*end spoilers*

I'm interested as to who you'll play as. Hopefully Bungie will incorporate a similar (aka better, more dynamic) story like in ODST while keeping the same feeling of being a Spartan.

@Communist Pope:
However i do believe that more of the spoilers of what happens will come from First Strike, where most of the spartan combat that happens of reach occurs, Fall of Reach describes why the chief wasn't on the surface of reach and instead went to halo. Fall of Reach the novel explains the Spartans training and the space battle above reach.

@maxwellzierath: I think the Covenent were there because the location was found on a Forerunner artifact that the Chief had first found in an earlier mission. The jump the Pillar did from Reach was also not technically random as Cortana had actually decifered the Forerunner artifact herself and discovered it was star patterns which gave her navigation data to the Halo. She didn't know what it would lead to at the time, but since she needed a "random" jump away from Reach to not jeapordize the location of Earth, the coordinates from the artifact were as good as any. Not tryin' to be nitpicky, but maybe it'll come into play in the game somehow or at least get a nod in the game's story.

@fearing: I never said that the jump was random. You are correct in that the jump was pulled from a star chart deciphered from an artifact found on a mission from the Master Chief earlier on. The covenant were only there first because of their superior slip space generators. I was just explaining that John was indeed there at the beginning of the battle of Reach and that Halo 1 took place around the same exact time.

@ColombianBan: I'd imagine that it would not work at all. The reason being because of how K2 uses the SPEs on the Cell processor to do some rendering assistance, which is just not feasible with the 360's design.

However, I'm not saying anything in terms of which system is better or anything like that, even though I do have an opinion on that. All I'm saying is the engine would need a LOT of reworking, much more so than what a dev team doing a multiplatform game would have to do if they wrote the engine for PS3 and ported it to 360.

@robbo_the_hood: nobody's implying that either have reached their limits. it's just that the PS3's limit is about 5 times higher than that f the 360, and when the PS3 even taps into 3/5s of it's power, like it usually does, it may be difficult to impossible for a working, good looking, copy of the game to be on the 360, without audio or graphical faults or game breaking glitches.

@Ehardergardens: when you kill someone, look at the numbers. the number appears the second you kill, then it fades away and adds it. there is no lag involved(unless your PS3 was lagging) it's simply an aesthetic choice by the devs to make it as smoothe as possible. but with the shot gun thing, when you shoot them, and they dont die, that may be because you are lagging. but that's not an overally problem with the game. the only problem i've had at all with the game is that every once and a while i get disconnected from my network. but it's the same as your problems, it's not the game's fault, it's most likely your connection.
