With the new text and character style plus the Beta invitation (causing one to think they are trying something new that needs massive online multiplayer testing) do you think Halo:Reach is going to continue along the lines of the previous Halo installments as a FPS? Or do you think Bungie is changing the gameplay to keep the franchise fresh?

Clues to changing the genre of the Halo franchise.
-Change to the style of the famous "Halo" text
-Change in character design (from what we can tell so far)
-Bungie allowing Ensemble to expand the Halo universe through an RTS
-Growing complaints from the fan base of there becoming to many Halo games
-Multiplayer Beta invitation possibly pointing towards trying something new that needs massive testing?
-Possibly the Peter Jackson project? Back when it was announced the Halo project was suppose to be a completely new and innovative experience, some sort of "film game"

Discuss.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. Understand the meaning of these words. It matters not how we complete our task, only that it's done.

I think this will be a "traditional" Halo game in terms of of being an FPS and maintaining the core gameplay elements, but with that said I'm betting they are going to explore some creative new gameplay elements that will make it quite a different experience. Like with ODST, for example, they are featuring the low light vision mode for easier navigation and identifying useable equipment and objective items. I think the "how you experience a Halo game" is going to be what they're looking most at in terms of changing with this and any other future titles.
