Subject: Ship to Ship combat.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

This is an interesting concept to say the least. I like your brainstorming. However, I fear that almost the entire game will be fought on the ground on Reach. Of course, I could be wrong. I would love to see some good old fashion pirate ship-like fights. Ship to ship combat huh? hmmmmmm....
Think Elephant battles when Sandtrap was new. Epic.

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 believe that "Boarding Action" was used to train Spartan-IVs, possible the rumored Delta Company).

I would definitely like a UNSC vs. Covenant ship to ship map. I feel it would work better for MP than SP, but it would be nice going right from a crumbling UNSC ship into a Covenant ship to try and destroy it from the inside in campaign... wether that happens in Halo REACH, or Halo REACh 2/3....

Your thinking of Chiron TL34. Anyway, an alternative way to getting from ship to ship, is perhaps the ships collided, and there are gaps lining the hulls of either ship, where large tears have formed allowing players to simply leap across to the other ship (possibly even walk, jump or crouch, considering the floors aren't even with each other.)

I wish I could actually fly a longsword, aim the MAC cannon, etc.

Dude I bet no one's ever thought of this before. Oh, damn.

Its a good idea, with the BFII space battles. But you must remeber the Covenant obliterates the UNSC in space battles, every time. One hit from a plasma torpedo would rip a destroyer to pieces.

I already mentioned it would be similar, but still different from Battlefront II, read the whole thread before trying to look smart.

Also, imagine that the Covenant ship is already damaged. Or if they Collided like I mentioned before (besides, boarding Spartans could turn the tide of a space battle, don'cha think?

Boarding Action looks like a pair of ONI Prowlers judging by their size, set up for training, by the teleporters... I believe that Chiron, Boarding Action, Wizard, and Rat Race were built on Alpha Halo to train "Spartan Clones." There's no reason for the PoA to have built training facilities there during the 3 days they were there, all in disarray.
