As many Halo players know, there are rumours circulating on the internet about Halo Reach being classed based, similar to Team Fortress 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Many people support the idea because it would add something new and improve Halo, bringing a new level of tactics along with it. However many people also oppose the idea, fearing Reach will become something resembling Call of Duty 4 and that the classes will upset Halo's current game play formula. Obviously no one outside of the Bungie team knows how Reach will play since they haven't released much information about it.

What this thread is for is not only voting for whether you would like to see classes, but also elaborating and discussing as to why you chose what you voted for.

...So uh, start your posts...

I would love to see Halo: Reach be something other than an FPS.

Seriously stop reposting this. This is NOT COD if you want COD go buy COD. If I buy halo again it is because I want HALO not COD because I haven't bought COD because it is COD

Read the post silly willy....

I used to want it to be class based, but they're right. Having classes would be awsome, but it would take away from the randomness and what many people like about Halo. So I suggest classes for a Halo spin off instead.

Halo Reach already seems like it might be a sort of "spin off" in addition to a prequel since it's not simply titled Halo 4 or Halo 0 (or something like that).

I have COD4, it sucks because you die in three bullets. My reasoning for wanting a class based Halo is that I don't just want Halo 3 shoveled back to me in a different colour with a few more additions to it.

Classed based games are about different classes suiting to different roles, using group tactics to overcome your opponents, not some three year old with a BR owning everyone on the field.

Call of Duty isn't a true class based game.

I'm hoping this game isn't a FPS like the Halo games are

I was really hoping this game is like SWBF2
I'm tired of halo being the same thing over and over again

It's been 4 games now we need a new type of Halo

Reach is confirmed to be a FPS, that's prettymuch all Bungie has confirmed though.

  • 09.12.2009 5:28 PM PDT

That doesn't mean it's not class based. It just means that it is an FPS.

Here's to change. "Raises glass"

You can still be on equal ground with class based games.

The whole "The Halo games are about being equal" is a bunch of crap. There is absolutely no way the players are going to stay equal if all you have to do to gain a huge advantage over the other players is pick up a power weapon or get into a vehicle.

You have absolutely no proof to back up that up.

Halo: Reach has been confirmed as a FPS. I doubt it will be a squad or classed based FPS simply because this (as far as we know) Bungie's last Halo game. It wouldn't make sense creating an entirely new style of game with all this past experience in the current Halo sytle.

It would be like majoring in one subject at colledge, then after 3 or 4 years, you decided you wanted to "try something new," even though you are already an expert at what you are currently doing.

^and I don't want to get flamed for that anallogy. The purpose of an anollgy is to provide an example that other's can more easily relate to. Since it is not exactly the same as the original topic, it will be open to debate.

That's a very reasonable assumption, and I definitely see your point.

However, what the hell else is Bungie going to add to the next Halo. I mean they already made three of them. A new storyline? More weapons, vehicles and enemies? An improved Forge? Firefight? More maps (and crappy remakes)? Yeah probably, but what will make Reach feel FRESH? A brand new freaking Halo game that is worthy of praise needs more than just improved features that they already have. Reach (and for that matter any sequel or prequel) needs to feel brand spanking new, and in order to achieve that, Bungie will need to add groundbreaking new features. It may not be classes (although I'm sure as hell hoping that one of the features is classes), it may be things that are completely different.

Regardless of what Reach turns out to be, I have faith in Bungie.

I don't see how "copying CoD, or Team fortress" makes "Fresh" Gameplay but whatever.

And I'm 100% positive it isn't class based.

Hey, G.I Joe has guns, Bungie must have copied them!!!

Hey, Star Wars has aliens, Bungie must have copied Star Wars!!!

Do you see where I'm going with this?

I see what you're trying to do, but failing. Look, I'm not one to get into flame wars, as I've been around this site for nearly 3 years, but you're pushing your luck with me.
