Is the 4th character holding a knife!?

  • 06.01.2009 12:59 PM PDT

Wow.... What book was that in? Still have to read two or three, thought I knew a lot about halo :p you seem to know more xD

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all those who threaten them."

^^Middle looks more like a BR to me. The barrel looks longer than an AR to me.

Should be a tiny blurb in The Fall of Reach. I had to research the spotters name though.

The middle guy is almost definitely a Spartan as is the one on the far right.


After listening to the trailer again I gotta think your definitely playing as the groundside team. They say their bird got hit, that's a dead on reference.

I was thinking that too, but the Body just looks to " Fat " to be a BR to me =)
And just before his shoulder you can see the Gun getting thinner, like it has a ammo screen..

La-hoo, Za-her.

Is the big guy on the left holding a turret with one hand? MC couldn't even do that.

  • 06.01.2009 1:13 PM PDT

Upon extensive analysis of the above image and the fact that Reach will likely feature different Spartan classes in some capacity I just can't help but come to the conclusion that Reach MP may resemble more of a Battlefieldesque style of gameplay as opposed to what we've all become accustomed to. Now this is all just speculation of course but it does seem to be the most logical approach considering the potential epic scale of this game. Now while this may be disappointing to some I for one would be very pumped for this because I'm very confident that this dev team would deliver a much more compelling MP experience. And I loved BF. Time will tell for sure but either way I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied with the final product.

The guy on the left LOOKS like an Elite at first glance.

But take a look at the knees, and the hips. They have the same shape as the others. Its a Spartan.

The original prototype may have been bigger and bulkier, I don't think that's unheard where the finished product is slimmer and more efficient than the prototype is it? (I actually don't know, I don't look at most early prototype guns)

MC almost definitely could, he just couldn't fire it. Which that guy probably couldn't fire it from that position either.

Possibly an older variant of MJOLNIR or a Cyclops suit. I'm not too sure, but I agree that it doesn't seem to fit with the other people. To be honest, I'm not sure. This is confusing me to a great extent.

My feelings also . Remember everyone , Kelly was the only one to one up chief , so im hoping for a Class based multiplayer that shows off each spartans specialties. Bungie you made my day .

It certainly does look like a hand held weapon for sure.

My theory:

Far left Spartan: Heavy Weapons' specialist with heavier shields but slow as molasses.
Second to left: Explosives expert kind of like the Special Ops class in BF.
Middle: Traditional Spartan Class (Maybe the Chief himself)
Second to Right: Close Quarters Combat Specialist probably equipped with a shotty and combat knife.
Far right: Sniper class sporting a either the Halo:CE pistol or the ODST pistol as a secondary sidearm.

If anyone here hasn't read Halo: The Fall of Reach yet I suggest that you do so ASAP because it gives you some insight as to what each of the Spartan classes were capable of .

I think middle left would be more of a speed/stealth class primarily Kelly. Would be great for Bomb and CTF, but not as good for stand up knock down drag out fights.

If it is class based do you think it'd be like GRAW (minor bonuses and cross use of weapons is easy) or like BF where you can only use certain weapons.

Knowing Bungie it might feature a bit of everything. I would bet that the second to left would be Kelly and the one on the far right would be Linda. The one in the Middle I'm sure is Master Chief. Speculating is fun :-)

"We sleep peaceably in our beds, because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those that wish to do us harm."

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all those who threaten them."

mid right is kind of a mystery though. Could be CQB, but at the same time it could just be someone who ran out of ammo.

Remember this is a prequel so we'll be seeing all the Spartans from the novels before they met their end.

  • 06.01.2009 1:54 PM PDT

They all seem to be spartans. I can't quite remember but didn't one of the books say that there was a spartan who was taller than the rest? Anyway, I believe they are all spartans from the books. It's going to be great to have other spartans as your teammates instead of those idiotic marines.
