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.

I know the books. But you never know if they might add a bit more to it.I want to know how they survived the glassing of Reach and if they continued and form of battle afterwards.

And her name was Linda.

Yes, Linda!  Oh and the books do go on after the glassing of Reach.  I don't remember exactly "how" they survived, but I believe it was because of an important find the Covenant wanted and these spartans happened to have hunkered into accidentally.  It's been way too long since I've read the books, but Fall of Reach, some of First Strike, and Ghosts of Onyx all deal with this alternate team of spartans.
