Subject: So, any theories?

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

My first thread in the Reach forum, and its on the first page! YAY! (Edit: Okay second page...Lol)

Alright... I have no clue where to begin with this guessing game... But I honestly hope you are able to play as the Master Chief.

Who do you think you may end up playing as? UNSC soldier? ODST? A different Spartan? Discuss.

FYI: This trailer was made before the trailer was released. XD

Sierra 259 and 320 were mentioned in the trailer, along with Noble One. Thus, playing as Spartan IIIs.

Well with ODST coming out I don't think MC will be such a big thing now that we have been weened off of him. I don't mind who we play as ,as long as it's good of course. But I'm sure it will be. :)

  • 06.01.2009 12:34 PM PDT

I doubt you will play as MC as he wasn't on Reach at the time. Perhaps you will play as another spartan.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

I think Halo Reach will be a squad based, tactical shooter.

This is because it wasn't just John escaping Reach. He had other Spartens with him and they stuck together. Therefore, I'm guessing you'll play as the Masterchief (Or his superior, if there is one) and command the other Spartens through several different missions.

Or at least, thats my theory. The community have been asking for a tactical, squad-based Halo game.

So what do you think?

Hey Helveck, it's Pogra!

Anyways, im looking forward to it. I think it will be a group of Spartans, and we will control one. Just a guess though.

He was at the fall of reach.

I hope to play as Kelly and the other Spartans that weren't with the Chief.

I don't think you will, but we won't know till it comes out or close to release. I doubt it though, he was busy in space when they attacked reach.

SIIs go up to 150, so either it's Spartan IIIs or we get Spartan Is to play with. Pretty simple, really.

Also, while squad shooter would definitely make sense if it was SIIIs, as they're a lot less super-soldier like, we have never really had much details on the capabilities of a Spartan I in combat gear.

With a this background, it shows i was partly right. You can clearly see a group of Spartans.

Sweet.

Alternately, there was Combat Team Sierra in Halo: CE, so it would be a reasonable assumption that it could be Marines/ODST calling for back up. *shrugs*

Perhaps we'll be playing as Spartan IIIs, and mayhap we'll see this be a squad-based game. *shudders uncontrollably*

Ah S-IIIs..... That would make sense I suppose? From the silhouettes it seems there is a variety of different Spartan there so perhaps it will be a squad style shooter with different roles. That would be pretty sweet I think.

  • 06.01.2009 12:56 PM PDT

I prefer señor Legendary Member.

Roadhouse.
I have seen the powers at hand and I can honestly say I am not ready

I wonder if it will be spartan III's going in to save the other spartan 2's if they werent dead.

  • 06.01.2009 12:56 PM PDT

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

Well, I'm hoping to see something similar to the storyline of The Fall of Reach, perhaps Bungie is looking at spotlighting earlier battles for future games. Which seems... evident:
"From the beginning. You know the end." - Halo: Reach teaser trailer

My theory remains the same; I think that Bungie is going to explore the earlier times of Halo and then eventually meet up with the trilogy. Gameplay wise, squad stuff would be cool for Bungie to push for.

Go Kansas Jayhawks!

This is just an assumption but it looks like it could be a squad based game. Kinda like Mass Effect...........

  • 06.01.2009 12:58 PM PDT

Everyone shut up about the Spartan III's. I see Linda in the picture. End of story.

  • 06.01.2009 12:58 PM PDT

Spartan III's weren't created until the events happened at Onyx (in the book Ghosts of Onyx). So they couldn't be appearing in a game about Reach...

I did hear the trailer mention a spartan-2 hundred something, so the game is most likely about other Spartan II's.

Wouldn't make sense, though. S-IIIs and S-IIs don't meet until Onyx in the books (which aren't really treated as canon), and there's never been any mention of them on Reach whatsoever.

We do know in FoR that the Spartans were wearing all sorts of armour due to some being upgraded and others not, so a mish-mash of armour isn't that surprising if it's SII. :\

I don't know, would need more info as to whether Bungie considers the books canon enough to include parts of it in a game, or what-not.

SIII were around before Reach, in the books they'd been active since 2536. However, Gamma company only got deployment orders after the Battle of Reach, so that kinda rules out the SIIIs completely, seeing as the only two other SIIIs were both on Onyx training Gamma.

Gamma station, this is Fermion RSO, unconfirmed report of an in-system slipspace rupture

Impossible, check your source

Reading mutliple pings below the orbital defence grid

Oh this can't be happening

There's no mistake, it's them

Winter contingency has been declared, all units are mobilised and ready

This is Sierra 320, prep for combat insertion

What the hell was that?

We're coming in hot, hold on.

We just lost our bird.

Oh my god.

What the hell is happening down here?

There's still people down here (a load of conflicting chatter I can't quite make out)

We're being over-run, we'll hold this position as long as we can

I need you in that fight, Noble (nova?) one. Noble One, come in. Noble One, do you read me?

This is Sierra 259, you've got Spartans on the ground, sir. We're not going anywhere.
This is the content of the trailer that I can pick out.

If there's any spartan I would like to play as it would be..Master chief!!!!
And Samuel-034. :)
Luv bungie for making halo.

  • 06.01.2009 1:31 PM PDT

I say Spartan II's before and during the battle of Reach.
I hope we play as MC sqaud, I'd also like to be able to play as the remaing sparatans.

Spartan IIs on before and during Reach would be pretty good. Turning the book into a video game, even throw in the training bit with Cortana, would be fairly good to play, I suppose. Could be worth buying, but then, ODST also looks good.

I'm unconvinced they aren't going to botch it.

  • 06.01.2009 1:57 PM PDT

I beleive you will play as the spartans sent to secure Reach when the covanant attack like in the halo novel

I want to play as Fred
