The game is a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, taking place during Halo: The Fall of Reach and the beginning of Halo: First Strike when there are many Spartan-IIs still in action. The trailer shows the colony Reach under attack by Covenant battleships orbiting the planet.
Halo: Reach was officially announced on June 1, 2009 at the Microsoft E3 2009 press conference. A trailer was shown and details were released including setting and timeline. The game takes place before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. It was also announced that an invitation to the open multiplayer beta of the game will be available to those who purchase Halo 3: ODST.
The game will be the last in the Halo franchise to be developed by Bungie before they begin work on newer projects.[5] The development of future Halo games will be overseen by Microsoft subsidiary 343 Industries.
Halo Reach as stated above takes place before Halo 1. This should prove interesting and answer some much asked questions. I hope in this one you can choose what Spartan you can play, including gender.
This one is certainly on my wish list.
Oh and a honourable note, the last Halo game Bungie will develop. I sure hope 343 Industries (named after 343 Guilty Spark no doubt) will achieve the same level of quality as Bungie has in the past.
