You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

I don't what this means, but I was watching GTTV and while they were interviewing Staten, he said something like "I liked the direction of Halo 2, you get to know the Covenant's side of the story. It would be great to get the story from other Spartans." "So are we going to see a squad-based shooter?" "Um.. I can say that that's a pretty safe assumption, yes." It went something along those lines. So it appears Reach will be a squad based shooter...or at least that's what I got from how Staten said it. Comments?

Signatures are for squares.

Wrong. He said there is squads, but it's NOT a squad based shooter. He said that it's safe to assume that there is a team of Spartans.

Um...ok...chill. Upon reevaluation, I noticed that Staten did say "It's a squad without the baggage of a squad based shooter." So yes, I'm sorry, you were right.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I don't think Staten confirmed Spartan squads, just squad gameplay. I belies he said it was safe to assume because if you read the book(s) (and thought the game would follow the book), you would think the gameplay would be squad based.

Think you've got it opposite...I'm pretty sure he said it was going to focus on squads of spartans without all the baggage of squad based combat.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

He also said that it was like a squad based shooter without the baggage of squad shooters.

So, from that, it seem it may have some kind of squad-like gameplay, but would not be restricted to it.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

What I got from it was that you do play as a squad, probably those guys in ther banner, but the gameplay itself isn't a squad based shooter, meaning it's not slow and about tactics.
