I have to disagree with your assumption that Reach will not be a squad based shooter based off of Urks' answer to the question. The only thing he said was that it was going to be another FPS and it was going to be awesome. He completely ignored the part of "squad-based shooter". It is entirely possibly that Reach could be a FPS squad based shooter.
I really hope Bungie makes Reach a new and unique experience in the Halo universe and making the game play more focused on your teammates and surviving/completing missions together rather then doing everything lone wolf and Rambo style would sure be a change in pace. Halo is well known for bringing the co-op game play to popularity, why not integrate that into the single player experience?
All I know is that from my observations, if we guess correctly and hit the nail on the head, Bungie says absolutely nothing and avoids that topic completely.
Notice, when the "mistake" with the mythic map pack achievements that came out early, Bungie simply noted that they were real, and said nothing. When that one dude guessed correctly that Heretic would be a midship remake, they completely avoided the topic. Not a single forum post saying "No" or "Maybe", nothing in the weekly updates, despite the humiliation they could have been giving some of these people if they were wrong.
As a result, the fact that they mentioned squad based gameplay also leads me to believe that it isn't a possibility because they would have completely avoided it.
Note that they didn't mention anything about class based stuff in that question however, thats the only reason I'm still considering it as a possibility.
