OK, so it has been confirmed that Halo: Reach will be an FPS- but not which type of FPS.
Even though it will likely carry on the Classic Halo trilogy's FPS gameplay, we still can't just assume it will.

Feel free to add some more FPS variants to this list, If there is a type that I have missed.

First of all, how is Fallout and Oblivion action? And Call of duty is nothing like Halo plus it is class based.

Recent K/D ratio 2:1

Recent games is either 1st or 2nd place mostly.

Traditional Halo but with some more tactics involved.

Wait, why are there 6 pedals but only four directions?!

Class-style, similar to Battlefront 2... that game was epic, and having it Halo would only make it more epic... Longswords, Pelicans, and Seraphs... oh my!

Not to mention the potential ass-kicking it could have...

Jesus Christ man, did you even read the original post? Im not friggin' comparing them, Im just talking about the basic FPS genre- and something is only officially class based if it is so for both Online AND Offline. CoD is not Class based offline.

And how is Fallout and Oblivion action? Dude, come on! Have you even played them? They're exciting, and you have full control over the ACTION. V.A.T.S. or not.

Rocket Race in Halo:Reach please!

Same, it works.

Excuse me? Have you even played Fallout/Oblivion?

COD is more conventional than class, You can create your own 'class' with custom weapons and crap... What is meant by class is similar to Battlefront 2... there are no mixing weapons.

I know exactly what you mean man. The thing I always want most in a super epic action game is being able to walk around in a sizeable ship (even Longsword size) while somebody is in control of it, fighting, or flying- and I don't mean holding on in a 'Seat Position', I mean walking around.

DUDE just had an idea, for Halo: Reach they could introduce create a loadout or class. You could have a choice between many different assualt rifles and SMG's shotguns ext. It would be sick. I got this idea from the books where it has them gearing up for a mission and they all choose different and well balanced equipment. Also it is very much like CoD 4.

Just like Halo Custom? That would be fun as hell. But personally, I just want the almost unlimited vehicle control. The Best part about SWBF is that it had almost any vehicle seen in the game. Put that into a Halo perspective; Scorpions, Locust, Wolverines, Cobras, Hawks, Hornets, Longswords, Seraphs, Banshees, Heavy Bombers (Covie), Ghosts, Wraiths...

Not to mention, the weapons and everything else about a game like that.

Traditional, but with moar team mates.

Holy hell, man, I was just writing a rant against you (Killawattakiwiz), and then I got half way, went to quote you and then figured out that you were.. actually on... my side.. -blam!-...

Well, that was a waste of time, I thought you were agreeing and flaming alongside (pumpkin 1) and then I noticed how your words looked next to eachother.. and.. DAMNIT WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!!!

All of them at the same time in the same game, and you cane toggle them as custom game options.

If Perfect Dark Zero can have a Counter-Strike inspired Darkops option, and a normal Deathmatch option. Halo can have one too.

Hell, maybe Bungie can give us the custom game option to mix and match different sub-genres to make something new and original. Like a class based game, but with traditional weapon pick up. Or a set weapon load out with only certain weapons, and only a limited number of players on each team can be the sniper like in Day of Defeat, but at the same time the Rockets are a power weapon pick up on the map.

Hali could be classified as action as well then. Action games are usually in the third person and suck heavy ass. Games like mercs 2. Oblivion is anything but an action game.

Yeah, like Halo (PC) Custom Edition, but in that you can't walk around while somebody was driving, or you'd just fall out (based from the engine). And also the hits were kinda weird how the ship did'nt blow up, but just hurt the (directly) the players inside. Even though, I like planting the C4, and then bailing from the ship and droppin' into hell, ODST style, killing the remaining crew, preventing the ship being captured, and hopefully killing an airborne assailant. I call it The Cole Protocol, like in the books.

Oblivion is anything but an action game.

How the hell not? You control the Action (fights) and everything and it is intense and in the moment- thats exactly what an Action RPG is.. also just about everywhere classifies it as an Action/RPG.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Since it seems they are gonna stick to the FPS formula, I would want classic FPS gameplay, with some new features and smart AI. AI that actually changes when you play the game. One of the best things about the first Halo is that you could play it 50 times and get a differnen experience each time. The AI could throw you for a loop at any given time.
