Subject: What will Halo: Reach Multi-player be like?

I know we have absolutely nothing to base what it will be like since we have nothing at all really from what the game will be like but this is what I think it'll be like.

REACH
First Off I think it will be a major mix of Halo 2 Gameplay with slightly better than Halo 3 Graphics. If you look at the player models in the banner at the top they look more like Halo Wars Spartans than anything but I think you will still be able to to chose between a bunch of different armors even more than Halo 3. Also Coagulation will return no matter what. I'm not a huge supporter of this but it's obvious how much people want it to return.

In a nutshell Halo Reach will be a less shiny version of Halo 3 with the Halo 2 in game mechanics and maps a lot like Halo 2's.

WEAPONS
The weapons will be a heavy mix between Halo 2 and Halo 3 weapons. The only thing from Halo one will be the AR and the Pistol. I don't know if they will do away with equipment but they will tweak it to make it work better. i.e. Flare actually blinding the other team and not the person who throws it. Radar Jammer working better.

VEHICLES
Vehicles I think most vehicles will stay the same minus the Prowler add back the Specter. And I think we will finally get the human bike to counter punch the covy ghost and the brute chopper. And the Covenant might get a purple warthoglike vehicle.

MAP EDITOR
Forgers I think we will finally see a full blown map editor. Now that Bungie knows how creative the community can be with forge they will want to expand on that one way or another. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

BETA:
Time to take a look at the beta the first time we will touch this new game. My opinion on what maps will be in the Beta. I think their will be a single remake which will be the BTB map Coagulation. What way to get people excited about the game than having everyone's favorite BTB map. The second map in the beta will be a lockout/guardian type map I'm not saying remake at all but it will be a map a lot like these 2. And the Third map in the pack will be something like High Ground and Zanzibar. Something good for objective games.

I don't know if this has any importance to you I'm just excited for this game! I will add more in the future.

explain please, why they would use halo 2's gameplay, when it is complete -blam!- compared to halo 3's?

I'm thinking it's going to be completely different then the last three Halo games in terms of multiplayer. I'm thinking more of a Ghost Recon, Resistance, or even a TF2 type class-deal.

The idea having different classes, is what the little image above represents (to me anyway), each character is significantly different looking, and each is holding a unique weapon.

It would be nice to branch out from the traditional Halo multiplayer in terms of gameplay, since I'm sure the Halo team at Microsoft is going to keep it alive.

Just a thought.
