R.P.

Here are the things that I hope for and don't hope for.
Small bits of Natal, hopefully for like hand motions
Not class based
no br (due to the time period)
a mode similar to fire fight but you have to defend the Orbital defense generators against large armies of covenant, maybe its a 4 player co-op and you have tons of marines helping u.
lots of new weapons
A game where the plasma weapons are actually good in campaign at least hopefully matchmaking too. The reason is in the books a plasma pistol that was over charged would take out their shields and another shot would burn through their armour and potentially kill them.

these are just a few of the main things I hope for.

there will be a br. you need a mid-long range weapon.
there were brs on harvest, and it was before reach.
as for the firefight thing... just play pretend. we all did this when we were younger :p

Nice reasoning. Notice how ODST doesn't have a BR? Just because it exists doesn't mean it will be used. Not everything has to be canonically-accurate. As a replacement, I'd like a new mid/long-range weapon or the M6D from Combat Evolved.

I think the Plasma Pistol should be made single-handed again. Like in Halo CE, it could easily take down an Elite on Legendary with only a few shots. In Halo 2 and 3, it was turned into a "noob weapon", as some would call it. All I want is to see it returned to its original glory.

I'd rather have Firefight in Reach the same as it is in ODST. Having dozens of Marines around you would make it feel too similar to the Campaign. ODST's Firefight would feel much more personal, with your friends helping you, rather than a bunch of AIs.

I want to see the pistol as your secondary weapon. It would be good at all ranges but dominant at none. Then the BR should be good at longer distances and useless in CQC.
