| - Seeing that Halo: Reach will most likely elaborate and expand the Battle of Reach, I think it's fair to say that the Raid of Reach is certainly part of the Battle of Reach with continuous ground battles between the UNSC and the Covenant and as such should be merged with the said article. It is likely to happen and this has been supported with Bungie's assertion of not following the novel's plot and that we will be able to witness more events that extends the battle to Operation: FIRST STRIKE. This is similar to the events from H3:ODST which confirms that there were no Second Battle of Earth as Truth deployed his forces moments after Regret bugged out of Mombasa. —This unsigned comment is made by -Ascension- (talk • contribs) .

The game "Halo: Reach" does not go as far as the 7th, as the Covenant have already glassed everywhere but Menachite mountain by then. The game's plot seems to suggest that the events of the battle take place over a period of maybe two or three days as opposed to over a week. Continuing, it is the same Covenant force against the same UNSC force (under the same UNSC commander) as opposed to something similar to out early thoughts of the "First" and "Second" battles of Earth, in which the Covenant retreat and a new fleet takes their place weeks later. If this article is not merged with "Fall of Reach", it should at the very least be recognised on the Fall of Reach article as part of the battle - everything there says that it lasted one day and that was it.-- Forerunner 15:07, August 5, 2010 (UTC) Voting ends 10 August 2010. -- Forerunner 16:52, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
