They'd be fools not to.

They should put Campaign and Firefight on one disk, and Multiplayer on another. I wouldn't mind that, and it would leave more room for a large campaign.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

They already took a MASSIVE step backwards from Halo 2 in not allowing the use of ALL weapons as starting weapons. Along with removing a Covenant Campaign, and all sorts of other jazz, so I wouldn't be surprised if we lose even MORE features to make way for new ones (better or not).

  • 08.22.2009 1:17 PM PDT

BOOM DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they make it more like N@zi Zombies(I like fighting zombies more than living things).

I think you're overreacting.

It would be like taking the BR out of Halo. They pretty much don't have a choice but to put it in Reach...

If it will be a success in Halo 3: ODST, then it will most likely appear in Halo: Reach.

Along with removing a Covenant Campaign,


The reason they took that out was because the majority of the fans didn't like the idea of playing as the Covenant rather than Master Chief, plus the last playable mission of Halo 2 was as the Arbiter, which people disliked even more.

So, IMO, it was a step forward for most people.

Actually you know what? I just thought about something.

Unless you play as an ODST again for a possible Firefight in Reach, it will become too easy, since now you're a Spartan again. So with this supersoldier in your shoes, the intensity of Firefight may drop significantly from the one ODST will have since all of the enemies will barely be a challenge anymore, even on Legendary.

removing a huge part of the story, and getting rid of different gameplay =/= step forward.
it's called fanservice.

Removing a huge part of what? What different gameplay? The Elites and the Humans were working side by side - it would literally be the exact same thing as being one of the other players in co op.

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.”

You don't know that unless you developed it and then deleted it from the final product.

The Arbiter had more and better allies, -blam!- CLOAKING, and different weapon starts. There were major holes in Halo 2, and it was a bad campaign. Saying no to additional storytelling doesn't seem to be the right direction to me.

Halo CE didn't have a BR and it was GREAT.

Except you will fight Elites which are MANY TIMES harder to kill than Brutes.

Agreed. I hate the BR and what it has done to the halo games. Auto mag FTW!!!
