Some call me the Michael Schumacher of Warthogs.

This was an idea that came to be just recently. I felt the need to share it.

We all know that with the release of Halo 3: ODST, it is now possible to play the Halo series from multiple points of view (ie Spartan --> ODST).

Reach, being a new game, and a new engine, dubbed "AAA," is sure to bring in new ideas.

What if there were several campaigns, either available on disc and/or later DLC?

For example, first, we have the Spartan campaign. You get to play as your standard walking tank-grunt shredding SPARTAN II supersoldier.

But then, due to the massive scale of the Battle of Reach, take the role of a Sangheili (Elite) warrior. You get to see what happens from their view, similar to Halo 2.

Then, maybe for DLC, an ODST campaign? You know, more stealthy spec ops stuff. Maybe they'll actually land on a Covenant Cruiser this time.

Perhaps even Marine. For a HUD, they can use those little green monocles they have on their helmet from Halo 1. Half the screen would be filled with hud.

What do you guys think? On disc? DLC? You tell me.

See you on the battlefield.

This would hardly be a "new" idea, since it was used for ODST and Halo 2. It still would be a cool feature, and would certainly add some replayability to the campaign. Assuming that it, that they don't suck like Halo 3's story.

Mind, body and soul, possibly my sole properties

I like the idea. Or maybe, multiple campaigns for each character type. Like for spartans, we could play as the group on the surface for one campaign. And another spartan campaign would be blue team on the space station. Maybe like GTA new campaigns.

It would be "New" if it was all squeezed onto one disc.

Frankly, I think it would be really interesting.

If you get sick of just busting into hordes of Covenant while guns ablaze you can alternatively watch your back as a normal marine. Or ODST.

I love the idea, Halo 2's point of view from different characters were interesting.

The idea here would be the same, except each faction has their OWN campaign.

Plus, it would be on a smaller scale (The Reach System) as opposed to all around the galaxy.

I've been wanting something like this for a while. I would love it if they did this.
