Correct me if im wrong but didn't the UNSC lose in this war? why would bungie have us play as the losing side? Well for me I hope we get to choose.

Think about it and share your thoughts.

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Then I sorta blanked out in a red haze and when I came to, everyone was dead.

Considering I like Elites, Halo: Reach being played through the eyes of a Covenant soldier would be very entertaining indeed.

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

If you play as the losing side, if gives a sense of emotion, and possibly even (although everyone knows the ending) a change from always winning at the end of a game - If a game is intended to be lost, it's unique, aswell as giving extra info to the storyline.

However, Red Team survived and escaped Reach, so if you play as Red Team, you'd not lose.
EDIT: Similarly as if you played as Master Chief.
