Right, before you all start posting "Sam is dead" all over the place, I know he dies in "The fall of Reach" novel. However, to assume that the events of Halo: Reach will only take place on Reach is a bit narrow minded. Theres only a very short battle between the humans and the Covenant before Reach falls, and that wouldn't make much of an FPS game. Therefore, it seems logical that we will play through the events leading up to the fall of Reach, which means Sam could very well be a playable character.

I'm not to bothered about how the character would fit into the story, I just want to see who you guys would enjoy playing as. If you want to play as someone else who I haven't gave as an option then feel free to post who you would prefer to play as, and tell us why!

I have gone with the characters who seem the most logical, but I would vote for "Multiple characters". This is because "The fall of Reach" novel was so enjoyable because it contained so many different personas who went on to become Spartans. I would love to play as the Spartan Blue team, what are your thoughts and ideas???

Any idea of who he / she would be? A UNSC Marine? A new Spartan?

Like ODST, were you see events from multiple perspectives? Or like Rainbow six, where your squad is in the thick of the action with you?

Short battle? we only read about part of the battle in Fall of Reach. The battle lasted a month. Since the planet was only partially glassed, the parts that werent might have had UNSC forces that were still alive on the surface

Good point but wouldn't you prefer a wider story span than just the battle of Reach? Halo 2 and 3 felt more "epic" than Halo: CE because of the changing landscapes.
