In my opinion, it would just be plain awesome to have the game as a first-person shooter.
If it does follow the storyline of the book The Fall of Reach , it would be absolutely amazing.
I would love to have several Spartans with unique abilities at my side, fighting battles together.
Armies of enemies, covert missions do defeat them, and again, MORE SPARTANS!!!
The other Spartans could challenge John(That's you)more to pick up the pace and become a leader.
As the story progresses, several Spartans would be designated "M.I.A." leaving players emotionally attached to them.


On the other hand, a real-time strategy game wouldn't be so bad either.
The creation of the game could also be possible, looking at the achievement Ready for the sequel from Halo wars.
It's being released in 2010, and one or two years doesn't seem like the time it takes to create and polish a FPS game...
If Reach becomes a RTS game, I would want some intense epic space battles between frigates and covenant cruisers! :D
More awesome cutscenes with astounding graphics for me!

Which do you prefer? Discuss.

Unless Bungie were to completely ignore established canon an RTS wouldn't work at all. In most if not all cases RTS games are for large scale battles. Ground side it could not have been more overwhelming in terms of being out numbered. Like the gentlemen above also mentioned it's already confirmed to be an FPS. :D

Halo 3 is for noobs. Gg NoRe.

We've already seen that the xbox can't handle a competitive Halo RTS game. *Cough* Halo Wars.

Sorry but leave the skillful games to the PC and Blizzard.

Bungie can keep making FPS games for the average 10 year old.
