while this is a prequel it is also a side-story. Hopefully we are wrong and this entails what happens to the other Spartans up to and during Master Chief's battle on Earth.

Huh?

From all the teaser footage and details so far, it is going to directly follow the story of Halo: Fall of Reach.  That means MC 117 is not going to play a big role.  The book basically covered the creation of the spartans, up to the battle and Reach (which MC does not take part in because the Pillar of Autumn made a slipspace jump to get some of the covenant ships to follow... aka the beginning of Halo 1).

Some Spartan characters include:  Fred, Will, Kelly, and this amazing sniper spartan that I can't think of right now, as well as a few more.

So basically this game takes place before/during the same time as Halo: CE, but should end way before Halo 2 or Halo 3 battle for Earth.
