Bungie made a statement when asked about Squad Based Gameplay for Reach (after they stated it will contain multiple Spartans in the game, which practically confirms the banner is not ODST's like some ppl think). Bungie (I believe it was Joe Staten to be exact) replied "it will sort of be like sqaud gameplay but without all the baggage of sqaud gameplay." What do you guys thinks this means? Its probably the best we've got to some insight on the way Reach will play out. So lets give it some thought, eh? :D

Oh, and Chris (a recent employee who left Bungie Studios to head designing AWB Games, or something like that) stated in an interview about Reach that he believes "Bungie will continue working hard on Reach as they have on every game, and I have no doubt that Reach will be fu*king awesome." When a pro says fu*king, he must mean it ;)
hahahah can't wait!!!!

Signatures are for squares.

You're with a squad of Spartans.

But it's not like Rainbow six vegas 2.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

Spartans as far as we've seen tend to be working alone or with a few marines, simply following their instincts to win the battle. I think we've yet to see how Spartans work with other Spartan teammates. It could simply be that, following in Halo tradition, you can just run out and kill in any way you please, but you would be safer to follow orders and stay with your squad. The baggage would be having to stay with your squad if you don't want to die, but you're not held to that.

I don't see your point, you were with a squad of marines plenty of times in the previous Halos.

i agree with Sh1n1ng Wolf. odds are we are going to play as just a squad of spartans, but maybe we will get to experience the campaign through multiple characters? not like odst with the flashbacks just in certain situations that are actually occuring around the same time.

Hmmm, so, it would be something like every mission you are a different spartan, but are still linked with the others.hmmm, i belive that idea has already been taken. Just a thought.

no not necessarily.what i meant was that in certain situations where maybe the group gets seperated or something.then they meet up for a few of the major battles until up to an epic finish =]

yeah that would be pretty sick.hopefully bungie will make this new team of spartans with more emotion, instead of another blank and boring MC group of characters

You'll have buddies, but it won't be another chunk of the game. They'll be self-directing, but in support of the player. I assume, at any rate. No more allies standing around while you're getting killed or waiting for five minutes for an order while you're going to get a drink.

I think it means you get 4 minions following you around that you have no control over. Basically the marines in every game, but they stick with you the whole time, and hopefully not as retarded.
