Subject: Wait since there is 5 spartans in the game...

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.

Ok well I tried searching this and I didn't see anything so don't flame me if you have.

Since there is 5 spartans do you think we will be able to play up to 5 in campaign, or like ODST where you get flashbacks.(Which I highly doubt)

One of them could be sort of like johnson, unplayable but still helps you.

That will most likely be the case, unless one of them dies before the story is over.

"Since there ARE 5 spartans..."

Anyway, this idea seems plausible. However, I forsee the campaign being too easy if five people were allowed to cooperate.

All they would really have to do to fix that is make it so you fight more enemies at once.

Or include a difficulty exclusive to five player coop.

Unless we had real scale battles covering miles of terrain with hundreds of tanks, etc.

No i think there will be a Johnson like spartan too, maybe Cheif? Then all four players in reach would have diffrent wepons, but wouldnt dissaper if somone wasnt playing them.

The thing is, this game is most likely gonna be based off the book, "The Fall of Reach". If so, then it promises to be good and, i have my doubts about 5 player co-op.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think that the 5 will be members of Team Beta, the only Splinter Team which fought during the battle of Reach with at least 5 Spartans in it who were all combat-effective (not crippled). This means almost an entirely new story. I would like a squad based game to showcase how the Spartans were meant to fight, and like how they did in all of the novels.

All should have a different ability, and would always be together. It would still feel like Halo (Halo 1, really) but with 4 squad controls on the Dpad (form up, go to this location/use that, weapons free/hold fire, assault/recon.)

They should all have different abilities (such as the large being slower but stronger, recon being faster but weaker, leader as being average all around, engineer to be weaker but with better shields and weapon abilities, and sniper with "spartan time" to help with kills, but with no close range defenses other than a weak mele), and could be hot-swapped between.

This would allow for five player coop.

I think their will most likley be seprate campaign missions for each spartan. It's possible that each will have their own specialty like in ODST, but it is unlikly that they will all play together in campaign mode.
