Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Most likely not.

most likely yes, I have to say the most important part of the story is for the covenant, they won...
I want to play as the winners to, it would be stupid to make a 9 levels campaign again. this game should be like Halo 2

They win, doesn't make them more important or anything.

Did you see the end of Halo 3, humans win.

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.”

This brings up an important part.

In Halo 1, 2-3, and Halo Wars, you played as the UNSC, and they won. This time, that won't happen. It would follow precedent, in addition to the awesome additional appeal that a Covenant campaign would provide.

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

Have any of you dim wits realized that the OP spelled 'Covenant' wrong yet?

CO VE NANT.

The freaking browser will actually spell it for you, come on!

And yes, being able to play a portion of the campaign as Covenant would be nice.

  • 08.22.2009 10:51 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Play as covenant? Maybe.
Drive Scarabs? NO.

Yes, we're just mature enough to actually contribute to the topic rather than make a big deal out of it.

I hope we get a few Covenant missions atleast.

We should have a covenant story line i like the unsc and the spartens but i get bored of it so i think the covenant is the way to go and explore the commander who becomes the arbiter that should be interesting to see how he acts in his prime

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"

1. It's covenant, not covernet or w/e.
2. We dont know if we will yet. Nothing is known of Reach except it's a prequel, and it takes place at Reach. (DONT SAY IT DOESNT YOU IDIOTS, THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL. COMMON SENSE)
3. It is pretty much impossible to drive a scarab according to the canon. Scarabs are made up of the same worm systems that make hunters.

I think there should be two campaigns one with the humans and the other the covenant.

  • 09.01.2009 4:23 PM PDT

I want to play as Master Chief. I want to see fall damage, the health pack/shield system from Halo 1, and the good bullet time physics from the pistol with a zoom return.

I didn't care for playing as the Arbiter in Halo 2.

I hope Bungie ditches the item system with the bubble shields, shield degenerators, shield regenerators, mines, radar jammers and so forth. They're cheap!!!

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

No, in Halo: Reach, I can say with 95% confidence any potential Covenant missions, would pit you against the UNSC. Destroying the colony world of Reach. Wouldn't bode well, wouldn't make any sense either.

The reality is, friends like to make things up, to get attention, to make you think they know something you don't, for all kinds of reasons. Your friend lied, or was lied to. In any event, we know nothing about Halo:Reach, beyond what we can extrapolate from the teaser trailer.

I would love to play as a Covenant leader and responsible for The Fall of Reach,but I know Bungie wont do it...do to the fact that Marines are weak,they can be killed with a Carbine shot in the head making the game awfully easy.Unlees Bungie makes the Spartans as the "Elites" of the Covenant...that would be epic,however I dont think there many spartans as Elites in numbers. However Bungie could make an *alternate ending.

Remember the tactical operations in Halo 1 of the UNSC striking essential targets that the Covenant had fortified?

It would be like that, just teams of Commando Elites instead of Marines and Master Chief being sent in to important targets to ease the assault, like destroying MAC cannon sites, command bunkers, supply depots, etc. I think it would be a blast.
