I agree with you there really isnt anyone better to be but if there was a way I would have to say I would like to be a couple different spartans not just John - 117.

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Master Chief by far. It would be kind of cool to be an ODST on Reach, but Master Chief is better.

who cares.
MC is not mandatory in a halo game (see : halo wars, ODST).

and since this is about the fall of REACH, MC will not be the hero. not even sure he's playable at all.

If you think about it there really is no hero!

How about we have it from the covenant perspective, the Halo 3 arbiter was on reach for example.

Yes he was, but was not called the arbiter!

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

No hero? Come on there is always a protagonist aka hero.

defeat =/= no hero.

during WWII, soviets suffered HUGE loss (22 million people, soldiers and civilians) and mutliple defeats (moscow, stalingrad, etc).
yet when they started to push nasis back, they were welcomed as heros by locals.

a hero isn't always the winner.
look at the spartans in 300. they die, all of them, and they are heros.
obviously, if you die at the end of the combat, then you're a hero of a single battle, not of a war.

Well there for it would be master chief because he is the one who ordered all the spartans to the ground besides two plus himself.

following your logic, GW Bush is the hero of the Iraq war.
... or are the heros the soldiers that fought it?

my point is, MC can't be the hero of the game since it'll be focused on Reach and he wasn't on the planet. the hero(s) will have to be the spartans planetside.

Depends on your perspective, some might say Rommel was a hero and not a war criminal.

I personally would like there to be 5 different stories for Halo: Reach.
I would love it if there would be a story for each of the Spartans that are shown on the poster. A story for Sam, Fred, Linda, Kelly, and John.(If those are who the Spartans on the Poster are, if not then the story of whoever they are, got it?) Each of which intertwining with one another. You would pick which story you would like to play at the beginning of the campaign and then you could switch stories on the fly, or restart and play as a different spartan. This would to me make the most logical sense considering that each spartan has their own play style and specialty. This would also make Reach one of the most re playable games ever. Cause you would not only have 5 different campaign stories that play differently but, after all of that you would also have Halo: Reach Multiplayer. To me that would be a totally epic game, one I would hold in the highest esteem out of all of my games.

Well what you have to understand is that it was a blindside from the covenant. not a direct war!

Exactly, it was like a Blitzkreig.

I think Zeita's or whatevers Idea was really cool

but if that didnt happen then I would want to see team RECON

like they did odst but the recon side

and so on in the future games were you do each of the special ops in halo through different games

  • 09.21.2009 6:47 AM PDT

Other spartans or marines. The narrative is more limited as the Chief because he is a faceless hero. I would prefer a variety of characters or at least one who interacts with the story on a more personal level.

Yeah i see what your saying!

  • 09.21.2009 5:26 PM PDT

"Don't you know?...Spartans never die".

I posted this on a similar thread but why not create your own spartan? the face mapping technology exists and just allow more customization of armor and weapons. Id love to fight alongside chief and defend the human race from the covenant

Reach would be better if it's about whoever Bungie wants it to be about.
