    Well, I don't know how to ask this without spoil it for some people but first tell me if I'm wrong, as far as I know...         

    I'm not complaining if the end is like this, I just want to know if I'm wrong or if I misunderstood the story. 
    Thanks!

    Just because all the Spartans besides Chief are assumed to be dead, that doesn't mean it is true.

    I never thought on that possibility, that would be a very interesting development. 
     
    From the trailer:  Spartans never die, they're just 'Missing in Action'  :)

    In some of the other Halo books there are other Spartans that survived the fall of Reach, so who knows...maybe Noble team will survive as well?

    The Fall of Reach- yep that sounds like a bitter sweet ending to me.

    Im hoping theres some heroic sacrifice at the end. Too many games have the good guys survive at the end.  Though I wouldnt be surprised if at least a few of Noble Team survive so there could be books about them. Of course there were other spartans who escaped Reach or were on other missions during the fall of Reach

    We're not going to see a Master Chief escape sequence, Halo: Reach is going to be about Noble Team and Noble Team only. Of course we know Reach is going to fall but whether Noble Team live or die is the real matter of interest.

    I think that having a bittersweet everyone-dies ending would be a perfect way to send the game off.  A final stand type mission would be great, especially if, as I'm expecting, Noble Team and the battle of Reach end up being the main reasons that the Elites see humans as worthy opponents.

    @flammverit:  There is a spoiler tool in the text editor. :)
     
    I understand what you mean, but it does mean Reach will fall.
     
    The Fall of Reach book focused on the team Master Chief came out of, he sent the larger force to the ground to hold off the Covenant while he and a smaller squad went to a space station to recover data. Some of the larger squad survived with Dr. Halsey underground, as is focused on in First Strike. They were all Spartan II's however, and didn't know that the Spartan III project had even begun, let alone produced soldiers. 
     
    I'm really looking forward to the story, honestly. It's one of the best parts of the Halo franchise.

    I think for this campaign to really have a great emotional impact we should see all of the Spartans in Noble Team die. The developers said they wanted to make sure you felt accomplishment, so I imagine is should be some sort of heroic last stand.

    No, they're not even mentioned in Fall of Reach, nor in First Strike.

    The noble team was not mentioned in the book (or at least they were not called that).  In the ghost of onyx either the spartan 3's that could be on reach are beta squad or delta (i believe).
     
    I would think that yes the end is going to be a bitter sweet ending. However the game is going to be more about the story of the team on the ground then the actual ending.

    It'll be like watching Star Wars episode 3. You'll already know the conclusion, but the amazing part that we haven't experienced is the journey to that conclusion.

    All I know is... I don't think we'll be seeing a sequel to Reach.

    Not the team, maybe one guy in the team.

    I hope that Noble team does die. For me, it would make things just THAT much better.
