Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Based on the trailer, the only UNSC hip shown is a Frigate. Do you think Bungie is going to pull a Halo 3 and make the game only feature frigates or are we going to see Marathon-class cruisers, Destroyers, Phoenix Colony Ships, and possibly a certain Halcyon-class cruiser?

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.

Pillar of Autumn needs SOME appearance in the game. It should be shown in a cutscene fleeing Reach, I think.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Remember that the trailer is very early on in relation to how close the game is to completion. I expect we will see other forms of ships, but their models and skins had't been finished in time for the trailer. If the entire battle consisted of only frigates and PoA look-a-likes, then the cutscenes would get pretty boring.

In the book, a mighty Covenant armada attacks Reach, kept at bay by the super MAC cannons (20 of them in orbit), only succeding because the power stations were downed on the surface by ground forces. An equally meaty UNSC force opposes them, but they all get wiped by the Coventant led by a lead carrier with a huge laser, the equivalent of a giant space sniper. For Bungie to put some emphasis on this must be a given, even if only with some grave faced officer informing the Spartans on the surface they are screwed. Therefore, it almost certain that all capital ship classes will feature.

the game is a direct prequel (as compared to Halo Wars which was an indirect prequel), so undoubtedly characters and yes, the PoA will play some role in Reach.

nubba dub scrub in a tub

I wanna see space battles (In cutscenes, not gameplay) like eric nylyand portrays them in the books. Because DAM that is some good writing. He makes them sound so cool, and so EPIC, and so awsome, and so EPIC, and so maaaad, and so EPIC.....ect.

There were 3-5 ships firing in Halo 3 when the portal to the Ark opened.

Ah! I remember now! Thank you for remembering that for me...time to rewatch cutscenes!

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

They will probably show most of the ships, because during the battle of Reach, there were about 100 UNSC ships.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I believe that the structure in the trailer is Gamma Station, and the smoke trail is from Blue Team's explosive entrance, and the humanoid form floating in space is James after being jettisoned away from the surface of the station.

That would be nice! Imagine all the various ships trading fire while undergoing maneuvers, ah yeah!

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

I'm hoping for spacecraft to play a MUCH bigger role in this one.

Heck yea man! I love the battles, the only time you get to see some Frigate combat action is in Halo3 The Storm, that was awsome BOOM! Yes bungie should show alot more space battles that what makes the game and graphics explode! I would like to see what the pilar of autum did, because i know that it's been in alot of battles and stuff, so this would be a great idea!
