Subject: Halo: Reach = Gametype Theory

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 would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

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.

I know its a little early to start guessing, but hey, this does seem pretty likley if you think about it. The community have been asking for a tactical, squad-based Halo game for a while now..

EDIT: The picture in this very forum hints to several lead characters who all look like fighters. Good chance they won't just be sitting on the sidelines, telling you what to do.

So what do you think?

MMO Shooter. They won't just do another first person shooter, they've done it to death. Bungie needs and wants a new challenge, what better way then to make a MMO Halo game.

At least that's what I'm hoping for...Someone's gotta drop a decent console MMO someday

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

Next year we will look back at these threads and laugh. I'm hoping MMO / FPS though

I know it's like MAG, but I didn't know that until someone told me about that game in a topic.


There would be 8 squads on each 200 player team. In each squad 25 people. Five of those people are the squad leaders for your squad. So there are 40 squad leaders on each 200 player team. You and your squadmates waypoints are purple. Your squadleaders waypoints are blue. Other players who are on your team, but not in your squad waypoints are white.The squad leaders can press down on the d-pad to request vehicle pick up like if they or someone near them has the flag or for other reasons. When they do a menu will pop up and they can choose which vehicle they want for pickup. When they request a vehicle a waypoint will guide teammates who are driving that kind of vehicle to them. Squad leaders can tap left on the d-pad to go into private leader chat with all squad leaders on their team to come up with plans like which squads attack and which defend. They have a icon on there screen that lets them know there are squad leaders private chatting. And a icon will appear over all players on there team who are private chatting either in leader chat, xbox live party, or xbox live private chat. And squadleaders can boot people who don't listen, or mess up the game. They would press the back button to pull up the squad menu and press (y) on a player they want to boot. All of squadleaders have to press (y) on that player to boot them. Squadleaders can only boot players from their squad, and the majority of players+ at least 1squad leader can vote to have a squadleader booted from their squad. At the end of a game 10 players of each squad will be chosen based on how they did by the game for extra exp ,and then their squad leaders will each choose 1person from their squad to award more extra exp. Assumingly they will choose people who listened to them or no one. There will be a few playlist in which you have to have been chosen for extra exp by squad leaders I would say 10 times before you can play them. There will also be a manditory overview / tutorial of this info so players will know the matchmaking system. You can change squad options like how many squad leaders and people in each squad in custom games, or you can just turn squads off. What do you think?

Read all before you comment!!!

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

i dont believe that bungie will change the actual gameplay/gametype that much. halo: reach will have a single player campaign and a multiplayer mode.
if bungie wanted to experiment with different gametypes, eg: MMO FPS, they'd most likely create a new IP, and go multi-platform. M$ want them to make another halo game, they want more of the same.
i could be wrong, but to be honest, i hope i'm not.
