So like many people I was thinking about new weapons that could be in Reach.

I think they should add some of the things that are in Halo Wars or at least some kind of prototype along those lines.

It would be a little excessive to be driving around in a Grizzly (super scorpion) or something but it would still be sweet to smash a bunch of wraiths up with a cobra. (anti vehicle... vehicle)

Plus seeing elephants in a big combat situation would be killer. Having like 100 marines jump out of a few elephants to beat up some elites.

Another thing that would be cool is seeing a lot of variety like specialties in marines. For example having a flamethrower marine.

Overall I just want to see bigger battles in campaign that will put Reach's campaign back on the cutting edge of shooters. I mean no game has really done battles with hundreds of soldiers at once and been successful.

New ideas? Flame me? Go for it.

the one problems with having all of the things in halo wars AND having large scale battles is that it'd be hard to do much other than make it a Battle and Conquer type gameplay where all you do is play on a field until your team is either the last standing or has taken over some other way. This would result in it being much like the game star wars battle front.

although it would be fun, it wouldn't exactly be halo. Now if they announced that it was going to be a game that wasn't fully cannon, and had different type of gameplay MUUCH in advance, then maybey, yeah.

I don't know if that would be such a problem. I mean in firefight for ODST your group of ODSTs kills a huge amount of enemies. I think if instead of waves it was like one big army every once in a while it would be cool.

Plus it would be cannon. The covenant didn't conquer Reach by sending waves of 20 troops at an army of marines.

yes, it might work as an extra gametype, but to include all of the halo wars vehicles in an FPS and have them fully functional and operational, would be very hard to do, and even if they did, I would not want Reach to be simply like battlefront. I'd rather it have the classic, linear but still somewhat open feel of halo.


EDIT: plus, it wouldn't be canon because they didn't actually HAVE those vehicles then. like the grizzly, or the armored elephant, or the hornet, hawks, cobras, etc.

I didn't mean all of them. Haha some of them like Hawks would make zero sense.

Hornet plus missiles plus gauss cannon would be so redunkulous
