Do you think Bungie will show Spartans dying? If the game is based on the books then there are several casualties ex. Malcolm, Joshua, etc. or will Bungie keep the illusion that Spartans never die. Your thoughts?

Bungie did not write the story of Reach, they just thought it would make a cool game so they were like "OK, guys, who cares if some Spartans die? We have no Halo ideas left!!"

Depends on the perspective of the game. From what I understand they still haven't announced how Reach will play and what characters would be used. If it's from the perspective of Spartans I don't think it' possible to avoid showing the spartans dying. However, it's possible they could just have the game done from the perspective of a regular marine or something of the sort, and it's possible from that perspective they don't actually see sparatns die in combat alongside them.

the illusion was for the 26th century marines, we are not those marines we are players, is would be a FAT and stupid mistake to not show at least 10 Spartans die on live while you are playing... Bungie will make this very emotional a,nd maybe violent, many Spartans must die in this game

If the, somewhat, advanced technology of NATAL is going to be released by Fall 2010, wouldn't it be cool if YOU were the main character? Like, you could name your Spartan and the game could actually pronounced the name of your Spartan.

Halo CE, 2 ,3, ODST, Reach

I think that in the actual gameplay should not, will not show any spartans dying. But cutscenes should show reach being glassed and other epic battles that spartans die in.

I can see that getting out of hand- imagine the marines going "Hey, xXBRXxMLGzZzPROsnipeMASTERXx, over here!"

The Fall of Reach doesn't show any Spartans dying at the battle of Reach (what the game is about, based on the trailer) besides Linda, and she is later brought back to life.

To the citizens and the rest of the marines, they were given the illusion that Spartans were indestructible. As well as we all know, they may enhanced humans, that still doesn't remove the fact that they are still human and still can die.

It would only make sense to show them dying.
