After announcing Halo: Reach at E3 about six months ago, Bungie finally decided to give us a true first trailer to the game.  After all, the game will be made available for the Xbox 360 sometime in the spring of 2010.

After watching the trailer, it seems evident that the game was based off of Eric Nylund’s novel, Halo: The Fall of Reach.  What happens in the novel?  The Covenant take over Reach and we see the origins of the Spartan program, which gave way to soldiers like Master Chief.

In the trailer, we also see the Noble Squad, which is composed of six Spartan soldiers.  This is their story after all; they must protect the inhabitants of Reach from the Covenant threat.  Check out the trailer below!
