Wouldn't it be cool in REACH that you could pilot a UNSC or Covenant ship in Campaign and Multiplayer?

Ex:

Hold RB to enter MAC Gun (Archer Pods, Point Defense, Pilot Seat, etc)

That way you could fight in a giant space battle at, say, the Battle of Reach? You and 200 other ships versus around 314.

Yes? No?

They have this suggestion for every halo game, and the answer is it will not happen. The reason? The Covenant OWNS us in space, the UNSC has lost most of the fights in space. The only time the UNSC gets a fighting chance of wining is when they are on the ground, head to head with the covenant, not in space MAC cannon to .... uhhh.... glassing cannon?

So, we can play on Keyes' ship. If you read the Halo: Fall of Reach book (VARY GEWD BTW), Keyes just about pwns every Covenant ship he comes in contact with.

Plus, the Iroqouis, the ship he was piloting, had:
2 Heavy MAC Guns
30 Oversized Archer Missle Pods (20 Long, 15 Down)
90mm Point Defense Guns
Fast
2m of solid Titanium plating
Plus, it was a Destroyer class vessel.

war never determines who is right, only who is left

still, its not hard to admit that its unlikely, it'd be good, dont get me wrong, however, as somerandomperson said, UNSC get owned in space, and keyes' ship is an individual, your original suggestion was that its a space battle with more than 200 on each side, and i doubt the UNSC would be organised enough, let alone have that many Destroyer class vessels to spend.

not play but hopefully a cutscene with a ship to ship battle, its just so cool seeing mac guns firing and plasma torpedoes whizzing, halo wars had a few ship battle cutscenes and halo 3 had one or two but they were not really detailed.
