Why do you play as the rookie, yet if you're experienced at Halo (which most of us are) you could probably kill everyone in the room....yet you're supposed to be the "new guy.."

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

You play as everyone.

Since the Rookie is an undeveloped character, it will be easier to put yourself in his shoes. You will be able to think as him, instead of him thinking for himself. Sorta like Link from the Zelda series. He had no speaking lines, but you always knew how he felt, because you WERE him.

Okay then you could do the same things as in the previous games. Whenever you see Bungie people playing, they always stay back and kill, when if someone else was playing, they could probably run and gun rambo style and still kick ass like master chief did.

Marine Corps.
Semper Fi.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Rookie is just a term given to a new squad member. He's an ODST. As Buck says, "not exactly green, no ODST is..."

.

The rookie isnt a new recruit, hes called that since hes new to the squad.

He even has a higher rank then one of them, I think it is Mickey.
