Where's Captain Keyes on that list?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

John-117, Kurt-051 or Samuel-034.


Sam died in 2525, years before the Battle of Reach. Assuming the game begings when Reach is attacked, Sam would not be playable. Except of course, if we got to play his ghost. Somehow I doubt that will happen.

Take the path of least resistance.

I'd personally like to see a female spartan as a main character. There are to few strong women characters out there. In my opinion women soldiers get a lot less credit then they deserve. They can be killers.

Some of the spartans were teenagers!?!???!!?!?! Samuel-034 was. I wonder if master chief was around that age. TEENAGE MASTA CHIEF!!! Idk but playing as teenage soldiers would be super-duper-uber-to-the-max-awsome sauce!

  • 07.12.2009 8:36 AM PDT

playing a spartan teenager would be like watching the new iron man series. why the freak is iron man a teenager

If this is about the Battle of Reach then we won't even see Master Chief, just other Spartans from his class.


Master Chief was in the battle of Reach and is the only surviving Spartan with the exception of others not shown in the games

Actually no he was not. All Spartans Except the Master chief and a few others went on planet reach. Chief just boarded a ship and deleted some info about earths location..... yaaa

i think that the game should be class based, so u can chose to play as a spartan, a marine, or one of the major covenant classes, like the elites, or the jackels, (btw, this game takes place wen the brutes barely had any role in the covenant army)

but then, wen u choose which type u want to be, u choose even further whether u want to be a sniper, or engineer, basic infantry, or even heavy weapons.

we should also have the choice to play through the campaign on either side. (kinda like how halo wars was RUMORED to have on the campaign.)

and if u dont really want to choose wat class u want to play as, u can choose to play as one of the spartans from the books.....

This game should also have the option to create ur own spartan for the campaign, much like the halo 3 multiplayer....

well, i know this post is mostly random ranting of ideas, but they all sound like they would be friggin awsome in the game.


Also, id like to point out that playing as an odst in this game would be practically pointless since thats wat ur goin to be doing in Halo 3 odst... also, master chief COULD be an option, even though he didnt play too much of a role in the battle of reach... he was not on the planet for some of the battle... the planet was eventually glassed, and several spartans died, but he was on a ship that eventually booked it out of there wen the covenant started burning the planet... also playing as a marine might be a fun way to play the game... it would definetely make it more challenging....

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

Girl power, rofl

Now I understand class based multiplayer but a create a character option for campaign would be considered unprecedented in a halo game and non-halo.
