Much like Resistance 2 and Resistance: Retribution, games where linking the two gives both games exclusive content, I think Halo: Reach should get content from Halo 3: ODST. I'll explain what should be carried over.

Content From Halo 3: ODST

* All Halo 3: ODST Firefight Maps transferred to Halo: Reach
-This would expand the amount of maps for Halo: Reach's Firefight Mode, if it has it.

*Halo 3: ODST Character Skins
-Again, if Reach has Firefight, this would add to the character selection.

*Weapons: Auto Mag and Silenced Submachine Gun.
-New weapons to use in Campaign and Firefight.

*Virgil
-Yes, everyone's favorite Engineer, yours to use in Campaign as a extra shield supplier. He can be killed so be careful.

So it is a small sampling of the possibilities, but I think it would be a nice incentive to keep ODST even after the beat of each comes out. hat do you think?

Were it so easy.

Reach is going to run on a much better and different engine so this could not work.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Why not?
If their building a new engine, what's stopping them from adding a silence SMG and Pistol into the game?

thats not the point. this guy is talking about everything from Halo 3: ODST but thats impossible without completely recreating Halo 3: ODST because of the completely new engine that they are using.

I don't think they'll be doing transferable maps, but character skins would be cool, kinda like how you can unlock Gears 1 characters for use in Gears 2 by having certain achievements in the older game.

Exactly. Op, remember how Zanzibar was remade from Halo 2 to Halo 3 as Last Resort? That wasn't exactly a copy and past process. They actually had to rebuild the map because Halo 3 uses a different engine than Halo 2. Same deal with ODST and Reach. They could remake the firefight maps, but there is no way to transfer them.
