It was a prequel to the first Halo game and told the story of Master Chief and what befell the other SPARTAN-II super soldiers. Aside from setting up the story of Halo: Combat Evolved, why is this novel important? Well, rumor and speculation has it that it could be the basis for the next game in the Halo franchise.

Hey, Halo fans. Have you ever heard of a novel called Halo: The Fall of Reach? It was a prequel to the first Halo game and told the story of Master Chief and what befell the other SPARTAN-II super soldiers.

Aside from setting up the story of Halo: Combat Evolved, why is this novel important? Well, rumor and speculation has it that it could be the basis for the next game in the Halo franchise.

This rumor arose from a forum called “Halo: Reach” that was spotted on the official Halo forums, as you can see in the screenshot above. Now an image like that is easily manipulated, but there seems to be supporting evidence in the form of cached forum posts, which you can view here.

Kotaku also reports that the guy who tipped them off to the deleted forum said that it was supposed to go live tomorrow along with the Halo: ODST forum. Maybe this is the “unannounced AAA” game Microsoft was teasing a couple of weeks back?

• Microsoft to reveal unannounced AAA exclusive at E3
  
• Confirmed: Xbox 360 Elite GotY bundle for Halo 3, Fable II
• Bungie backtracks: ODST is the end of the line for Halo 3
