Subject: no katana in halo: reach

i dont think there should be a katana in halo: reach. it has no purpose on a 26th century battlefield and bungie only added it to please there largest audiance, 10 year old stupid american kids who dont know anything about feudal japan

"I dont follow footsteps. I make them"

I respectfully disagree. I like the Katana

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I'm sure there are plenty of 10 year old american kids who know more than you about feudal Japan. I wouldn't be quick to assume so much, especially when you have little facts. The katana (as well as the hayabusa helmet) was Bungie's praise of Team Ninja for Ninja Gaiden. Often times game companies will put teasers of other games into their creations.

Nope. It was homage to DoA, that featured a spartan as a playable character. Same as Hayabusa.

im pretty sure i know a good deal about feudal japan. im pretty sure most 10 year old kids are more concerned about the newest shrek film and there idea of japan is either pokemon or ninjas.

im fully aware that game companies often put references in there games to other games

Actually, they put it in there because it had something to do with Team Ninja. I forget. But I do agree that it should not be included.

yes katanas rock. they are very sharp blades and great weapons that were used for centuries. so were alot of other swords from around the world, but i bet that doesnt matter to youth ages 9-16 who have lame xbox live names like Xx el1te sn1per xX and still think that ninjas really wear black suits

Seriously. You're basically asking them not to add in something cool that doesn't affect gameplay in anyway shape or form. Why I ask?

I really detest ignorant people like you.

A lot.

Like what the other guy said, it pays homage to another game series. It's not because we "stupid, 10 year old americans," think Halo 3 is about feudal Japan. So you think because a virtual Katana that does NOTHING to gameplay was added now we think we're real ninjas and we're history buffs on feudal Japan? Wrongo, buddy.

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you post. Thanks.

Katana (and for that matter the Flame) do look good... It should just be something that requires effort to get. Not luck.

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.”

Sweeping generalizations like that are signs of ignorance.
