It's just an idea but personally I dont think we should let Reach stop us from visiting a ring or two, or the Ark for that mater. I just want a multiplayer with good scenery. Its a safe bet that the majority of the originalmaps for Reach will be based somewhere around Reach. However, we can probably expect atleast 3 map packs and hopefully with each one we get three new maps plus a firefight map. I think it would be a cool idea to divide the map packs into thems from the Halo trilogy. For example:
Map Pack 1-Includes scenes and ideas we first saw in Halo CE. I think a control room firefight map would be pretty cool if done right.
Map Pack 2-Same idea but with a Halo 2 twist. Gotta have a section from the Library in one of the maps.
Map Pack 3-A familliar return to what we now call the present. It could give us an opportunity to explore more of the Ark
The idea behind this is to explore sections of the rings and the Ark that we didn't get to see as we progressed through the games. Feel free to add your own ideas.
