"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."
—Cortana to John-117

Very well done. This could be a good idea of how some Single player missions would go. The Single player could be like a Squad Based shooter. So, you have 4 other normal 'No-name' spartans that you command ( maybe with the D-Pad? ) And if one dies, you don't get him back, you just get a replacement. Then at one point, if you lose all your spartans, so you would not get any more replacements.

Another idea would be sneaking in to city that has the forerunner artifact, where you first meet the Engineers. Sorry, I totally forget the name of the planet, it is about in the middle of the book.

Good theory, but I doubt Bungie would do something as half-assed as following the book exactly. Besides, I read the book already, why would I want to play through it again. The whole thing would just be review for me and anyone else who's read it. Boring and predictable in my opinion. I'd rather experience something fresh and new, like what Ensemble gave us in Halo Wars. Completely original story and cast, while remaining relevant to the series. So as far as your ideas go, I must respectfully admit I do not like them.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

The Halo Wars story sucked. New things usually end up retarded and boring.

So basically you're saying it'll be Fall of Reach?

  • 09.30.2009 10:49 PM PDT

Im gonna have to agree with Nox on this one. Halo: Reach needs to stick to the same basic story as Reach, but it also needs to branch out. Wouldn't it be cool to play the mission on the tropical planet where the young Spartans stole Chief Mendez's air canisters? It was only briefly mentioned in the book but has potential.

I believe Halo: Reach will be about Blue Team and the missions they were sent on as a team together. Eventually the Covenant would be introduced and the game will end with a few missions defending Reach.

A few key events in the book that I believe would make great missions are:

-The capture of the Rebel leader on the asteroid base
-Cote D'Azur (The city where hunters are first encountered)
-The first encounter with the covenant, leading to Sam's death
-The destruction of the astronomical records on the space station
-The destruction of the Covenant carrier (where Kelli tosses the nuke inside)

The Banhammer hurts less and less w/ each crushing blow.

Sounds awesome hope they stick to the book for this game cause the book owns! what would be more awesome is that it goes more into the kid stage for levels. Wish Halo Reach was the actual movie that would make anyone cry :)

love every bit. I would also add a level on the space dock as the chief. Linda would be your only team mate and you would be in zero gee. the objective would to destroy the NAV data that leads to earth. As for ground missions, the first cut scene would be the pelican reentering the atmosphere where you jump out. on the ground you would scavenge weapons and parts then fight your way to the base. this mission would be played as Fred along with most of the other ground missions.
