I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I have to agree with Hunter, that wouldn't be Halo.

Classes? Heroes?

How about we make Halo: Reach in to World of Halocraft?
Most people want something with the basic Halo mechanics, if we had this Halo would no longer be a unique game.

Go play Battlefront if that's what you want, but this wouldn't fit with Halo.

Actually cut and pasting Halo's gameplay into battlefront style fights would work (its not like we are saying make it third person or keep it exactly like battlefront, but have classes, and objectives to fulfill.)

At least as a GAMETYPE this would be awesome. The closest I ever made was a territories gametype with random primary weapon starts, and magnum secondary.(Kind of simulating class selection.) It felt kind of like it because of the amount of Health I used, and how much room you had to move around while taking a capture point. (Overshields, no shield recharge, 75% damage resistance, basically if you pick up an overshield on the map, it is like gaining health, you lasted a little longer against BRs and such, but Snipers were still 1 headshot to kill.) And I used Custom Powerups to give a player temporary infinite ammo (about 15 seconds I think).

It was a hit

--Maximus: I knew a man who once said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back"
--Commodus: I wonder, did you friend smile at his own death?
--Maximus: You should know. He was you father.

I think it'd be sweet to have a battlefront style game with massive battles and 3rd person view. I think the classes are a good idea. Would be epic, but I don't think that that is what reach is gonna be, though that'd be awesome.
