Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

Note: I am taking all Speculations from this vid.

SETTING
My guess is that you will play as one of the Spartans that speaks in the trailer. The male voice says "We have Spartans on the ground" (quote may not be exact) which suggest you will play on Reach, instead of possibly fighting on a ship first. I'm also guessing that you will be one of these "second wave" Spartans.

OBJECTIVE
Your goal in the game will likely be "Defend Reach." This is a very vague objective though, and there might be a more exact one, i.e. take out a Covenant war ship before it destroys an important location, stop a large covenant ground force, etc.

GAMEPLAY
Obviously there are five characters on the forum's banner. This seems like a hint to one of two things.
1) A new co-op style, possibly squad based. I think this game will play much like the other Halos, but with new features. They have all had the same basic game play, just each time things are changed. I think that in co-op mode, every player has a different Spartan, and each Spartan has a set of equipment and specialties.

2). Possibly you will play as several different characters, similar to ODST.

]Multiplayer
A mutliplayer demo makes me think that there will be a very large, and original, multiplayer. There may be Fire Fight, forge, and theater, and there will probably be customs and Matchmaking. There is also a chance that it will be entirely new, and nothing like the other Halos. Personally, i hope it is original but still plays like Halo.

More coming soon. . .
