Subject: Game based on Halo: First Strike?

Jumping to Hell since 96.

If you have read Halo: First Strike you would know that the Master Chief goes back to save rest of the Spartans. Maybe part of the game will involve their escape. Any thoughts? Try not to flame!

I think it would make more sense to start with Fall of Reach, since most of the gaming population is familiar only with the game series.

I would not mind doing a First Strike pickup after! Nylund and those books are gold.

Long live the Last Refuge!

Its going to be based on section 0 of First strike with Red Team most likely and the last section of Fall of Reach most likely. Then yes probably also containing the bit were Master Chief comes back to Reach and save the SPARTANs.

Exactly what I meant. I'd say Eric Nylund is the best writer of the Halo novels.

Signatures are for squares.

I'd assume it's based on Fall of Reach, and MAYBE first strike.

Spartans available for Reach storyline:

SPARTAN-029: Joshua - Listed as MIA, though assumed KIA during The Battle of Reach
SPARTAN-030: Vinh - Listed as MIA, though assumed KIA during Battle of Reach
SPARTAN-039: Isaac - Listed as MIA, though assumed KIA during Battle of Reach
SPARTAN-059: Malcolm - Listed as MIA, though confirmed KIA during Battle of Reach

Are there others? Are we looking a a squad based or class based shooter? Each with their own strengths and talents.

I think we all know for a fact(this is infact true) that every Spartan was on Reach except Gray Team. Around 22 something in that area. Can you imagine standing along side 19 other Spartans and fighting off waves of covenant in the plains of Reach?

I think that describes perfectly how good this game could be. We just have to hope Bungie delivers as well as they did in the Halo trilogy and what they look like they've done in ODST.

HALO 2 will rule 4ever. It is Halo and it is enougth. Thanks Bungie, our life will never be the same.

19 times spartans for a 50 times bigger fleet of covenant ships than what attacked earth!

I guess Spartans will be very out numbered!

tehy may also go to reach after halo 3 to check for spartans

Fred is also one, Kelly, and any SPARTAN that was picked up from Reach and lived through first strike. Not to mention it could be any of the unlisted members of Red Team that lived.

I think a lot of the good parts will be taken out of First Strike because all there is on foot on Reach in Fall of Reach is the SPARTANS training which I would enjoy playing anyway.

Halo Reach is based off of the novel, Halo: The Fall of Reach. Good book, I reccomend it.

Yeah but considering the two spartans in the trailer don't match up with any Spartans of the books, which have been confimed canon, and the fact the spartan's numbers (forgive me for not remembering) are in the 200's and 300's you've got to assume there's something else going on here.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Maybe. But it could also take place when the Covenant first glassed Reach. You probably play as one of the Spartans on the ground with your squad.

There could be the chance that it is set after the books but I don't think it will be.

Well correct me if Im wrong but isnt the Halo:Fall of Reach the book that they show John growwing from as a kid,so i dought that it is fall of Reach I think it is first strike
first strike is when they go to reach and that asteroid rebel base right?
When they team up with the asteroid rebels to take out the covenant right?

This could turn out to be a squad based or class based FPS. Imagine being able to choose in multiplayer which Spartan you would like to be, aka COD, Kelley with her Sniper or any of the other specialist. Truth is that in the books the Master Chief is described as not the best in any one area but a good at everything guy. He describes his team and their abilities very clearly as being better than him in certain area i.e. sniping, close combat, demo, etc. I am excited to think that we will be given a class of Spartan to play with a specific weapon spawn and abilities. What do you guys think?
