How to get on bungie favorites.

No, I am not interested in your group. Don't send me any messages regarding so or you'll be blocked.

Alright, if we take a careful look at the picture of Halo: Reach up top, we can see a spartan-like character in the center.

If we look further in, the gun he's holding looks like a assault rifle, but with a longer nozzle.

Perhaps this is the MA2B style assault rifle mentioned in the novels.

Second, we if we look to the Spartan like character on the right of the center figure (standing with legs together), we can see something in his right hand.

Look in further, and we can see it's something of a combat knife mentioned in the beginning of Fall of Reach.

At last, if we look to the far left, we see a rather large figure (maybe a spartan?) carrying what could be a new type of turret in his hand.

Just my ideas, please discuss and post new speculations.

I think we could be looking at Spartan 3's, as they were around at the fall of reach.
I also think the tall guy on the left is carry some sort of Machine Gun,

Heard joke once.

A wider range of support weapons (Machine Gun Turrets and Missile Pod) is something I hope will be available in Reach.

I imagine the one in the middle is equipped with a Gauss Rifle, as seen in Contact Harvest!

To me the center weapon looks like a BR, at a slightly oblong angle.

No they weren't.

And besides, Spartan 3's don't have shields...I honestly think if bungie wanted to make a complete game of a FPS where you have no shields, Halo 3: ODST would be a much larger game.

it'd be a micro gauss rifle... because the only ones we've seen so far in a halo game are mounted on a warthog...

I don't know if that figure on the far left is a Spartan, it looks more like an Elite to me. But if it is, then I would agree that we may be looking at the Spartans from Ghosts of Onyx.

The figuire on the far left looks like it has an upsidedown shotgun.

Viva La Revolution!
Social Infection ftw

The Spartan on the far left is holding some LMG probably(Yay! LMGs in Halo!)

The machinegun reminds me of an M60.

Sniper on the far right, that's for sure.

The middle spartan MIGHT be holding a Shotgun.

The Spartan on the far right looks like he's holding an LMG. reminds me of an M60

from left to right. Big spartan looks to be holding some type of light machine gun, reasoning behind this is you can see the belt of ammo hanging out.

Next to him looks like a girl spartan carrying some pistol.

The middle spartan is holding what looks like a precurssor of the battle rifle.The magazine looks to be set forward unlike the bullpup design from H2 and H3. There also seems to be a front sight on the gun, giving it a similar look to an M16

Next to him is a spartan holding something, my guess is knife, he also has something on his shoulder possibly an extra one.

The the last dude on the right is sporting a sniper but he looks different because we see his head from a side profile. He looks the most un- spartan to me, but looking closely he is still wearing some form of helmet because there is no side profile of facial features.

These weapon choices would make me very happy, I've always thought halo needed some form of machine gun, the current mini gun just doesnt cut it. I hope the battle rifle is re-done into a hybrid battle/assault rifle as a starting weapon.

Spartan 3's were not in Reach, Spartan 3's came after Halo1 or Halo2, sometime between that.

I think the Big Dude is heavy weapons Spartan (guy), If I recall correctly in the books there was this Spartan who was beastly strong, but IDK.

that was samuel but he died when they borded a covenant ship and destroyed it in The Fall Of Reach, i think this game will involve you leading the defence of the reactors for the orbital defence stations and most of the 30 or so spartans that where left lost there lives and only a handfull escaped.

I hope players can use pelicans in this game because they are really usefull in many situations.

It's the ROFLCOPTERRR !!
ZOMGZOMGZOMGZOMG.
OH NOESS, Mai H4x0rz.
STFU U NOOB XD.

ROFLPWND

From left to right :

The first big spartan (?) wears a heavy machine gun. You can see the bullet strap at his leg.
Next to him there's a girly-lookin' spartan with I think a pistol, but you can see it good...
In the middle is the head person, I guess. His weapon looks like a battle rifle or a shotgun. But I cant see the lamp on the gun ...
Next to him there's a person with a knife I guess...
En at least, the right person is a sniper. according to the shape of his helmet, I think it's an ODST.

He maybe, as there is an ODST in the upcoming ODST game that participated in the battle. Hes called Buck. Lokk on the project page
