Okay I've been reading the Halo: Fall of Reach book. Now that i have been reading it I kind of see now where Bungie is going to go with this game. I'm seeing some sort FPS with a "Tactical" tag on it. I'm guessing there will be different classes, and/or your choice in spartan that you start out with.(talking about multiplayer). Since Sam from the book is the big spartan, he will probably carry the bigger weapons. and Kelly being so fast, you will get some sort of hyper speed, and so on with the rest of them.

Another thing i noticed was during this time in the MJOLNIR armor, there seemed to be no energy shields around the Spartans, and plasma seemed to be a bit more effective in the book then in the actual games. (Ex. Sam on the first SPARTAN to covenant interaction.) In my Opinion, i see a more vulnerable SPARTAN in this game compared to the previous versions.(ex.Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3). What do you guys think?

Not to spoil your book (Its amazing) But before Reach is attacked,the spartans are outfitted with a new version of MJOLNIR that sports a new Energy shield function.

I have not read the book in a while so I might have the time line screwed up.

Sam didn't make it back to Reach. The five Spartans featured in the book you're reading were Fred, Kelly, Vinh, Isaac, and Will.

Yea i know he didn't He dies on that Covenant ship. John and Kelly make it out because he stays and holds up the covenant. He had gotten shot with plasma and it burned through his suit.
Dude i could have sworn that the big Spartan was Sam man. It even says he is a head taller than John. And the middle guy should be John. I think that the game is going to actually follow some of the missions they went on with their previous MJOLNIR armor. Like when it was nothing at first. Just guessing.

If that was the case then a majority of the game would take place on planets other than Reach. I don't think any of those Spartans are the Chief. But no one knows and I have been wrong many times before. We'll just have to wait and see. : )

True. Yea we will. It would interesting to see them on some of those Rebel missions mentioned early on in the book.
