Thais is my idea for how Halo: Reach may be run...
The new Halo:Reach game has been announced for 2010, but no other details have been released save for the cover art. This features the planet reach along with five Spartans of different size and stature. They all have different weapons, because of the spartans that survived the crash landing to reach, they all had their special skills. Fred the leader, Linda the sniper, Kelly the speed, Will the hand to hand specialist, so on and so on. I believe that this is a hint to the multiplayer mode which will most likely be similar to Team Fortress This will mean that you can choose between the five different spartans to wage war on different types of covenant. It would be a brilliant idea, because there are a variety of covenant, and a variety of spartans. The one issue you may have to consider is that the spartans are mucho more powerful than the covenant. Well my solution to that is that the spartans ave a lower class of MJOLNIR armor than master chief's mark VI in Halo 2. You would have an un-upgraded version of the mark V from Halo: Combat Evolved. BUT WAIT!! Ryan, you still destroy the covenant in this game with that armor wouldn't you still be significantly better than the covenant?? NO! Because the Mark V was issued only the day before the attack on reach, so the spartans were not too familiar with the feel of it, thus weakening their ability to fight. ALSO in Combat Evolved, you had Cortana to help and boost your fighting abilities. Only the day after receiving the suits, the spartans didn't get their AI's. Master Chief only got one because he was assigned to an important mission aboard the Pillar of Autumn with Captain Keyes. The spartans on reach also had to hot from from a pelican at an enormous altitude, think of it as skydiving without a parachute. A handful managed to survive, but their armor was damaged, thus weakening their ability to fight. If they include hunters in the game mode, I think it will be a fairly even fight. As for the campaign...
I think it will be opening the storyline of those spartans and the battle of Reach that occurs While John (Master Chief) is on the first Halo ring. If you read all the books, there is an entire story about them surviving reach and then ultimately ending up on Onyx with Kurt after First Strike. After the credits on halo 3, you see Master Chief's vessel floating toward a planet. I believe that planet is Onyx. If my assumption is correct, Master Chief will crash land on Onyx. Meanwhile the other spartans are in the core of Onyx, or the "shield" I believe they find a way out, and rendezvous with master chief to extend the story line and bring the two stories into an infinite storyline there on. BUT WAIT!! There is a new twist. The surviving members of the SPartan III's are also in the core, so you would have even more to work with. Spartan III's were essentially the same as the Spartan II's except they had less genetic opportunity. They also were orphans because of the covenant. There were also a lot more of them. The spartan II's originally had 75 trainees. The Spartan III's had hundreds. The other downside to them is that they don't use MJOLNIR armor, they use a lesser version known as SPI or Semi-Powered-Infiltration Armor which has a weak cloaking ability They were also used while they were young, where as the Spartan II's are experienced, full grown adults.
This game is probably the smartest move imaginable by bungie. They could honestly live forever off these tangents, and I just can't wait for Halo: Reach to release in 2010.
