The animated film was not a direct adaptation of the full book, adapting the first two-thirds and ending with the death of [[Samuel-034]]. The most notable omission is the titular [[Fall of Reach]]; the film ends with the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] and only flashes to the glassed Reach in the bookend scenes. | The animated film was not a direct adaptation of the full book, adapting the first two-thirds and ending with the death of [[Samuel-034]].

Greater emphasis is placed on the Blue Team that comprises [[John-117]]'s team in ''Guardians'', therefore increasing the roles of [[Frederic-104]] and [[Linda-058]]. Fred and Linda join [[Kelly-087]], Sam and John in their initial teamwork training session. In the Battle of Chi Ceti, rather than all of the Spartans launching and only Kelly, Sam and John making it, only Blue Team launches and all five make it aboard the Covenant ship. | Greater emphasis is placed on the Blue Team that comprises [[John-117]]'s team in ''Guardians'', therefore increasing the roles of [[Frederic-104]] and [[Linda-058]].

In the gym confrontation, the attacking group is made up of three ODSTs instead of four, the Sergeant never appears and John is only interrupted when Mendez orders him at ease. John is clearly bothered with having to injure and kill fellow soldiers while defending himself for a test, saying that the men were "wasted, not spent", and it's stated that he continued to be bothered by the incident even though it was accidental. | |||
During the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]], the Spartans use a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] taken from one of the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}'s Pelicans to destroy the ''[[Unrelenting]]''. In the novel, they use warheads from [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile|Anvil II]] missiles while the Pelicans did not carry nuclear weapons. Additionally, the ''Unrelenting'' is depicted as a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} while the novel shows it as being around the size of the ''Commonwealth'', a {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}. As well, the ''Commonwealth'' itself is depicted as a {{Class|Charon|light frigate}} instead of the canonical ''Paris'' class. | During the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]], the Spartans use a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] taken from one of the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}'s Pelicans to destroy the ''[[Unrelenting]]''.
