Subject: Halo Reach Is About ODSTs. [Time To Prove Something]

Could it maybe a surviving spartan leading a squad of ODST soldiers trying to defend reach or escape? just a theory the guy in the middle of the banner looks like the earlier model of spartan.

Given that the Covenant triumphed in the encounter on Reach, I assume that it ought to be doable to interchange divisions, every additional operation, or so. Akin to what the Campaign was reminiscent of in Halo 2. Struggle as a zealot, field commandant and/or special occupations Elite, on behalf of the Covenant, furthermore, clash as a Spartan and/or ODST, on behalf of the UNSC.

I have never seen a spartan wear a backpack.


Did you ever play Halo CE? Looked at MC's back? Looks like a backpack. When does Halo CE happen? After the fall of reach. When is Halo: Reach taking place? Before Halo CE.

In the teaser trailer for Halo: Reach, they did say 'This is *some numbers and letters*, you've got Spartans on the ground, sir.', and Blue team did have five Spartans and if I remember correctly it was John (Master Chief), Kelly, Linda, Fred, and Kurt.

They are already making an ODST game, I think it might let me down a little to see them use it twice, as long as they only use it in one game, I like it. Anything else would be overdoing it. I can't want to be back in the Mark V armor though. Also, anybody hoping for 5 player co-op?


the spartans on reach were not wearing Mark V they were wearing Mark IV which did not include energy shields, which leads me to believe that there might by an ODST style gameplay with the staminia bar and/or the return of health packs

Hey, and maybe if we're lucky we'll get to play with MC when he was still a squad leader

Leading a squad of spartans into battle as MC? The only thing that would be more kickass is well... hrm... It's official, Reach will be the most kickass game ever! :)

If spartans are on the ground why play as an ODST

If your never sure if a post has sarcasm or not, my posts are cooked in pot of sarcasm, has sarcastic filling added to it, and then has lots of little sarcastic sprinkles put on top.

Actually the Spartans on Reach were wearing Mark V with shields. It had all just been given to them for a mission. They were outbound to start the mission when the covenant started to attack Reach. If you read the Fall Of Reach book then it should clarify a few things for you.

Thank you, if you wouldn't have said it I sure as hell would.

To OP - At least you got balls for posting your beliefs but I seriously doubt we will be playing as ODSTs. Maybe Bungie could switch around characters like ODST but I would actually prefer just playing as a few Spartans. Save ODSTs for expansions. Besides from how it sounds Reach will be our last Bungie made Halo game (according to IGN, 1up) for a while so I definitely want it to be epic.

No. The ODSTs do not differ that much in height, and Dare wasn't a member of the squad until right before the battle of New Mombasa.

You can read the bios for all of the ODSTs, and only 2 of them (I think) were at Reach

RAWR!

i think we might play as both spartans and maybe for 1 mission play as buck! that would be cool to see how he got off of reach!

  • 07.31.2009 1:09 PM PDT

Halo reach is a about spartans but you might get to meet Buck and see how he escapes reach.

Ummm. We don't see what Fred and Kelly do during the battle of Reach in Halo: The Fall of Reach. And Sam died over 20 years before Reach fell. Where does Spartan-259 fit into this?

What the hell bra? This game will expand what was seen in the book(is switching between people like in ODST confusing to you?) Bungie can give Fred and Kelly(thank you for reminding me her name) something to do. And...that last part...what do mean he died 20-years before Reach fell? It wasnt 20 years.
And if not Sam, it could be anyone. Not ODST's

  • 07.31.2009 6:13 PM PDT

If what your saying was the case bungie would have made reach first. Considering whats said in the trailer and the picture it can be nothing other than spartans, however, some of the characters in ODST may make an appearance, but the chances of that are the same chances of the chief making an appearance. But that wasnt a bad theory.

You said to read the Fall of Reach to learn what happens, yet if you did you would realize that Sam was the first Spartan KIA over 20 years before Reach fell. Also, we don't know what happens to Kelly and Fred in the battle of Reach until First Strike. We only see Blue Team (John, James, Linda) in TFoR, while Red Team (Fred, Kelly, Will, etc.) in First Strike.
