KEEP IT CLEAN

Okay so I'm about halfway done with Fall of Reach (I would have finished by now but I don't actually have the book I just have the eBook so I can't take it in bed with me) and I've noticed a lot of the action is through characters like Commander/Captain Keyes and Corporal Harland/Fincher/Cochran/Walker (even though Walker is a pansy).

Anyway, does anyone think there could be a slight possibility that we could be playing with more than just Spartans? Because I can definitely see a campaign level where someone takes charge of the battleship as Captain Keyes and takes out 3 or so Covenant ships before the Covies "retreat".

Anything is possible, but consider that this is an FPS game. Most of those side characters never see ground action, so even if we did play as any of them (which, in my opinion is highly unlikely), it would probably be incredibly brief.

Hopefully Bungie will at least include the battles as cinematic cut scenes (and maybe half playable ones too?). I just think it would be cool to guide the battleship around the Covenant and to feel the pride that Commander Keyes felt after he was appointed Commander by the Admiral.

Plus, there definitely needs to be a background to the Fall of Reach, not just some Spartans jumping in (which explains why Sam could be the guy on the far left).

well Harland/Fincher/Cochran/Walker-their only in the book for about 6 pages and they only drive in a warthog nad shoot 2 banshees down

also this game is a FPS so there prob won't be any ship to ship combat,unless its a cutscene

and also if they do take alot from the book, then they'd prob make up missions that take place beteen 2525 when they 1st get their suits to 2552

like the opening proloque thats in 2535

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I think it would be interesting to play as naval officers, but it is not that likely.

a halo ship to ship game would be cool, but not if its a FPS shooter game

Don't even try to pronounce my name.

My guess is that we'll most likely be the MC with a few other spartans helping you do outrageous objectives instead of the small ones like through all of the halo games. instead of Board the Scarab it will be Board the Covenant Capital Ship and eliminate everyone...EVERYONE!!!

Wouldn't it be cool if you could do both? Like... alternate between space combat and land combat? Because they are both HUGE parts in the fall of reach.
