Subject: Halo: Reach multiplayer to support different classes. (Probably)

I don't know if its been mentioned, but by looking at the poster, it seems safe to assume that Halo: Reach will have different classes. But what we cannot be sure about is whether or not it will be like the COD type of class system or the Team Fortress Class system. To me, the Team fortress system seems more likely, where the character is more specialized. By looking at the squad picture, we can probably expect to play as a spartan sniper, heavy gunner, normal one ??? lol, a really fast spartan (Kelly, the girl from the book is said to be really fast), and others. Well, at least that is what I think. What do you guys think.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

There are other threads about this, and I have the same perspective for you as I did for them:

It's a silhouette.

Their differing sizes and equipment could simply be a distinguishing attribute in campaign as a simple piece of storyline plot to accentuate the differences in the characters (difficult to do when they all look identical). The idea that because they are holding different weaponry it instantly means that we must have a class-based game is a pretty silly one.

The word "probably" doesn't belong anywhere near this idea, as it is just as likely as all of the other off-key suppositions about significant changes to Halo's subgenre of the FPS genre.

Yeah, it's possible, but it sure as hell isn't probable at this point. Once the idea is based off of more than an image banner which provides miniscule information on everything within it, then maybe it will have some credibility.

Were it so easy.

I hope not, I have always thought that class based FPS's suck. I don't like the limitations classes put on my ability to play as I wish at any given moment.

I wouldn't mind CoD4 type classes. Perks and Customized weapons were kinda cool.

But then I would lose faith in bungie for lack of originality. So if there MUST be classes, let's hope that bungie's system for it is unique and enjoyable.
