Subject: Space Battles VERY Likely In REACH

Think about it, all readers of the book the Fall of Reach, how many times were the battles on ships? I think that there is a huge possibility for space battles, maybe even a game where we have to pilot the ships for most of the campaign?

I'd hate if we had to pilot a ship in space, so boring.......

IM A LEGIT 16

Think about it, this is an FPS.
Not a flight game.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Piloting a frigate (And all other types of ships: Cruisers, Corvettes, Steal Ships, etc) has A LOT to do with math, and honestly I don't feel like doing school when I'm playing a video game.

However, I wouldn't mind a level where you get to pilot a Pelican. That would be pretty bad ass.

I would expect to NOT be on reach the entire time.
Remember the first level of Halo C.E. was on a ship.
I don't think we will pilot a ship though.

Maybe but I wouldn't expect it... Allot of the levels very well be in a ship. Like a BIG ship though.

When you read the books did you realize it said it takes 5 minutes to charge and fire the main gun.

It takes a long time to charge/reload the MAC gun.

It would make a cool multiplayer map. Like Boarding action from Halo 1. Only one ship is human, the other covenant.

i would love to have space battles for at least a part of a mission, maybe using a hawk or longsword, or that fighter that was canned in halo 2( on the deleted scenes on the 2nd disc) it had tons of guns and stuff on it.

wouldnt mind it in mp also, could be like the space battles in star wars battlefront

I'm-A-Chargin My LAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

have you guys ever played Star Wars Battlefront two? A game like that halo style would rock (in terms of space battles)

If you read the first strike you would know that after the fifteen minutes of space combat there was the ground side engagement. Space battles won't happen ever. If you're desperate for some zero gee shooting you could always play halo custom edition. Space combat IMO won't ever work for Halo.

You, sir, are a blatant optimist.

Halo's never been about space combat, and aerial combat in Halo: CE felt like an afterthought, to me. I seriously don't think we're going to see any space combat where we're commanding ships. I mean, honestly. If we're playing as Spartans, we're not going to be flying a damn ship.

I think it's likely that there could be one or two boarding engagements when there's a Covenant ship infiltration or battle, but that's about the extent of it.
