For those that have either read The Fall of Reach or payed very close attention to information given throughout the course of the series, you know about how epic the battle on Reach was.
I'm wondering if Halo Reach will have a comparable scale in terms of hundreds of units on screen while all hell is breaking loose. The XB360 hardware is more than capable of this as evidenced by games like Dead Rising and the upcoming Dead Rising 2.
Edit: And I could live with the fact that there is little to nothing at all realistic regarding the human weaponry, but I love the halo mythology.
What do you guys think?
I felt the scope of the game seemed rather small. Where a few characters represent the entire leadership of the human species. Even though Reach specifically was an enormous battle, there is a certain awe factor by thought of massive battles including hundreds, thousands of ships, millions of soldiers, tons of vehicles, etc..
While I highly doubt that can be replicated in a video game, I sure hope the scope is much larger in Reach. But then I have an interest in military history and it may not be as appreciated by people who are not. :)
