Subject: Halo Reach Multiplayer Will Be Class Based

I have to say, I don't play alot of games, and have primarily followed Bungie's games alone.

This being said, from what my basic understanding of a 'class based system' is, and my experience being a 10 year veteran of their fantastic Myth games- If Bungie were to make a class based game with Halo-based characters, I'm completely positive they could do it right. Myth is based on a rock-paper-scissors framework. Balanced to the utmost perfection.

If there were going to be a company to figure out the perfect balance between 'types' of halo character units, Bungie is the company to do it.


In regards to the original post; I have no opinion of what Halo: REACH will be simply from a picture. You can't judge a book by it's cover.

Who give beat down? We give beat down!

Most covers reflect the campaign portion of a game.
I highly doubt those are supposed to be multiplayer models.
If anything we could get the ability to alter our height and weight
to make a custom character but I doubt they'd change the
entire formula of Halo's massively popular multiplayer.

I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see this however, I just
don't think it's likely to happen...

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

i dont like class

i like halo style multi.

i dont want it to be a cod/bfbc/team fortress 2

i want it to be friggin Halo'


So your saying that if it did happen to be Class Based you'd just toss the game and not try it? People were given the ability to find out if they liked or didn't like things, by TRYING said thing, not by looking at it.


Halo is one of the last arcade style shooters where you pick up guns that is still really popular. GOW 2 is like that too I guess, but its third person. And the spawning guns work better then most of the other guns.

At least you wouldn't have to worry about some -blam!- betraying you so he can take your sniper...

I dont like class based games very much. Classes are so uneven like 95% of the time

  • 10.05.2009 5:23 AM PDT

Bungie has been great for being a Different game. I think hey should keep doin how they doin.

Didn't Bungie say it's not classed based?


theyve only confirmed it to be an FPS.
wrong Bungie said you will be in a squad but it wont have that squad game crap/thread



No, they said it was an FPS and its wouldn't be squad based. Wheres the connection between squad and classes? There is none. Kthxbai.


Now, in the banner for Halo 3: ODST, it shows different ODST's Proof

Now, yah, they have different weapons, but, we knew it wasn't going to be class based because Bungie said at conventions such as E3 and PAX that you were an [b]ALONE[/url] ODST soldier in New Mombasa, trying to figure out what happened to your squad.

So, really, you can't compare Halo 3: ODST to Halo: Reach. Both are way different from one another.

Now, we can speculate that it could be a class based shooter from the banner. We can also speculate it won't be a class based shooter.

That's my Two cents on the matter. Take it or leave it, your choice. Personally, i want to see a class based Halo game. Spice things up for a change.

If this ends up being a Team Fortress game, I'm personally blowing up Bungie Studios.

They just have lots of guns to make them look cool it would be dumb if they all had ARs

  • 10.05.2009 7:30 AM PDT

Hahaha rofl are you one of those COD fanboys who want to have Halo look like COD (Perks/class) rofl.
It's like anti-Halo to get such a system in and to base this on something like that that's such....well just nonsense to keep from using bad language...

I'm sure it will be good if it is class based, but I really hope it's not.

What would be the point of classes outside of squads?

Either Reach is going to be the next great Halo game or it's going to be a drastic failure... I don't think there's much grey area in between on this one. However, I do have my full faith in Bungie. ODST was great and that only took a fraction of their manpower and ability.

  • 10.05.2009 9:32 AM PDT

Halo is good because it is simple. Classes would overcomplicate things. If I want to play something complicated I will go play something that's not Halo. Reach will not be a purchase for me if it is class based.

I'm looking at the ODST banner and at no point do they show the weapons. Armor colors do not represent class archtypes. The reach banner clearly shows different types of dudes.

I've been playing Halo since I was 7 years old, Halo 1. And I think, as the years hve progressed, Halo's style of gameplay is running stale. Halo 3 is an amazing game but 3 years going on, do you really want to go back to the same old gameplay. At this point should Bungie go back to the standard style, Halo will die. When Halo came out, it took that typical run and gun style gameplay and made it beautifully.

Out Of those games and the games halo had once influenced, Bungie and Halo are the last man standing and if th don't make a change, change the halo style of gameplay and set a new standard for that type of game, regardless the quality of the game, in the longrun, Halo Reach would be a failure and I know or at the very least, hope that Bungie realizes this.
*GASP!* i've been playing halo since i was 8 and i think it got better, they took out a couple great qualities but i think not sir!!!

Class based halo would suck real hard
everyone will probally pick snipers all the time then mm would be cod halo but snipers only

halo play style is unique so is cods
halo should be halo
if want you tf halo or cod halo mod it or something make the m16 a br or somthing
as for the 5 spartans in the pic I think they are the possible charcter you play as in a possible odst style campaign

It would be fun if it was but it would completely change halo since it is never been class based.

Why is that? Suck at TF? TF is an amazing game, TF2 is even better.

We're saying we don't want Halo to turn into a class based game. How does that make us suck, or not like TF? I love TF, I just don't want to see Halo go down the same route.
