I'm hoping that, since this is a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, we'll be seeing similar gameplay, but adapted for online play as well.
As in, similar weapons, with similar effectiveness.
I'd like to see a useful magnum make a return (either the mega-pistol of CE days, or one similar to the one showcased in ODST). It's been many a long years since I've actually wanted to have a magnum as my sidearm.
If the mega-pistol does not make a return however, I'd like to see a rifle (not the Battle Rifle, as that has yet to be created) of similar capabilities take its place.
Halo has been sorely lacking in a true all-round weapon that has functioned as the permanent spawn weapon for a while now. I say this only because the BR is not the spawn weapon in Halo 3 in most gametypes.
I'm hoping for a drastically different, yet similar gameplay, to be honest.
If the title of the game is any indication, we'll be defending planet Reach, or something similar. If we play as Spartans, we'll most likely be donning Mark IV, or Mark V at best.
As such, we will most likely not see any Energy shields (apart from, hopefully, Elites).
As a result, we'll most likely see something gameplay drastically different from what we're used to, as Energy Shielding was a big part of Halo, from the first title until now.
That said, I still want the gameplay to be the Halo-specific fun-and-gun style.
Yeah, many other games are run-and-gun, but Halo's is...different from the rest.
I'm hoping we keep that aspect.
