Subject: What if Reach's Multiplayer is *Gasp* Class Based?

Like you have Snipers, Spartans(Heavy duty guys. :D), ODST's (like Scouts, quick, fast, and can move around silently)...

o-o Would this be an interesting change of pace?

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

I actually thought of this my self, and to be honest, i wouldnt mind.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Or what if this thread isnt the 500th topic about classes in Reach? GASP!

I'd still play the game, but I'd prefer map control over classes. Classes just aren't great because you all spawn with either uber-nerfed weapons or rockets/snipers/shotguns.

Classes could work, but it would require too many alterations to the game for it to really work.

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.”

Depends.

It could still be fun but I would be disappointed.

I already have a detailed thread on how this would work.

Save yourself the flaming.

  • 08.08.2009 4:53 PM PDT

It wouldn't make sense. You typically make class based games when there are different disinct characters. When classes are just different weapons, it's sort of fail.

If you had classes like grunts, jackals, brutes, etc. and brutes had strong melee and a beserk power, grunts had unlimited grenades and suicide as well as a bonus for being near elites/ brutes, elites were the warrior class, etc. it could work.

It would be interesting. I think it would be really fun if Bungie did it right.

  • 08.08.2009 5:53 PM PDT

HAIL HALO!

It would take away what makes Halo, Halo. That would be like the next Call of Duty having power weapons in the middle of the map, or the next Gears of War not having a cover system.

Very well though out response. Anyway, it would be interesting to see. Notice how I said INTERESTING, not good or bad.

i think Halo: Reach should be a game that focuses third person melee combat. You could pick up bricks and pipes to smash your enemies and when you do find a gun you would need to drink alcohol to steady your aim otherwise your gun would shake worse than if you had Parkinson's Disease. Instead of equipment I would like to see Pokemon, imagine putting an ACOG on a Pikachu or an IR scope on a Charizard. When you crouch you would instead curl up into a ball and use your telekinesis.

I am reularg.

Maybe more of a Shadowrun approach. Have classes unlock the more successful throughout the game:

Everyone starts off as Marines
Then you can be upgraded after 3 kills to an ODST (higher DR better Damage with weps)
Maybe even Sniper
Spartan
or Spi armor.

  • 08.08.2009 6:19 PM PDT

Stephen, that's a copy of COD4, except you dont get air support, you upgrade.

There's a good reason why bungie has everyone spawn on a gametype with the same weapons, and have better ones laying around the map.

BALANCE.

Signatures are for squares.

What if this the *GASP* 100th topic about classes?

  • 08.08.2009 6:37 PM PDT

Ugh...

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

I think it was already confirmed that there will be classes in a french interview with lars barken.

I hope it is custom classes, I do NOT want this to be like Halo Star Wars battle front 2

As much as people dont think it could happen its actually a possiblity becuz the Spartan's were all known as being a specialist at a certain job whether it be sniping heavy weapon's good in hand to hand combat or a Close Quarter's specialist who goes in guns blazing and can get off rapid accuarte shots and take down a whole squad without thinking twice about it
