A different Spartan for different missions and Id like if they added an ODST mission to vary the gameplay within the campaign. Buck was on Reach so imagine you play as him and you have to hold your ground until reinforcements arrive. The end cutscene would be the Spartans busting out of the forest and blowing the -blam!- out of the surviving Covys. Then you play the next level as one of the Spartans. Just an idea.


ehhhhh, i've been kinda against this for while. While Buck was on Reach, not only was he not mentioned in the book, but I'm sure he was nowhere near the real action of Reach in the cave.

If you are currently confused about what I'm talking about or just don't know. feel free to ask.



I have read the books I know what your saying. The game wont take place purely in the caves. Its not going to skip the huge surface battle and defence of the generators. There was plenty of Marines on Reach.

This much is undeniable, but I think you might also play as the spartans who would be on the surface battle, remember they didn't fall back to the caves until later. And since the trailer mainly focuses on the spartans, that's a big teaser that you are prbably playing as them.

However there is always the theory that the first mission will be played as a marine until you are rescued my (i think it was red team down there) spartans, which from there you take over as them.

Official xbox magazine, and i think an odst is on the front cover, not sure which issue but i can let you know by tyoing it all out soon.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Could you condense the descriptions down into paragraphs, put the character name in bold at the start and credit the source to which you copied and pasted that info.

I assume you took it from Halopedia because of the "[1]" and so on... You should probably remove them too...

Kurt was MIA on Onyx during the battle for Reach....

And Sam was already dead...

Also, John (Master Chief) Never fought on the ground at Reach.

But I want to be the REAL winner of Reach, Thel 'Vadamee, the Supreme Commander of the Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice, and the future Arbiter.

Most likely, you will be Fred though.


No spartans were KIA, but many are MIA...haha

Reach will limit what characters we may get to play significantly in the campaign, but I kind of like Kurt's ability to feel out traps. IMO, tactics are the most important part of the game.

where's the "I don't really care who i play, i just hope to god we get a different perspective than human at one point in this game"

Hey... Hey?
No. ok.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

Well...I'd like to play as Billy Mayes. But I'm pretty sure we'll play as a SPARTAN anyway

The Fleet of Particular Justice wasn't the only fleet at Reach though.


It was one of the main strike forces though. Since Thel is one of the main characters of the Halo series, I doubt they'd leave him out of this game...

  • 11.16.2009 6:55 AM PDT

Thel was the coolest!

  • 11.16.2009 6:56 AM PDT

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

Linda, because I want my sniper rifle...

  • 11.16.2009 7:00 AM PDT

As stated above you will probably play as one of the 5 squad members at least once though the game a la ODST, but stay John most of the time. I'd imagine the only Sam level would be the Cov ship. Maybe even play the ODST armor mission before they got their mark IV.

-blam!- GTFO OF MY SIGNATURE

Posted by: zash208
Hmm, I want to play as thel vadam...
You want to stand on a viewing platform and watch Reach get glassed?

I wanna play as Linda, or Kelly. Or Fred.
