So, anyone else thinking a third playable character for Reach? I know I am. I've heard that a Brute was going to be Halo 3's third playable character, but it was scrapped cause it was taking too long. I thought, perhaps it'll happen in Reach? There will be Brutes in Halo: Reach, that is for sure, since they were technically always there in the entire Halo series. What do you guys think would be the third playable character if any?

First: Spartan
Second: Elite
Third: ???
(This is only for sure if we play as Spartans)

I guess an ODST, but It would be cool to play as a Spartan that is specialized in a certain aspect of combat.

Same could be applied to a ODST or Marine, right?

But it would be a Spartan, I mean you could play as a civilian, or a 5 year old girl too but why when you could play as a Spartan.

Were it so easy.

Why wouldn't you put Elite as a choice?

Cause I'm sure of it that if we play as Spartan's, than Elites will be the secondary character as always. And if possible, maybe have a third playable character.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

why would we play as elites? reach is a prequel to halo ce, so we'll be fighting against elites.

I just have one thing to say:
I'd joygasm if I could play as a brute.
But, would there be many armor variants? Cause I've wanted to be a chieftan for a while..

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

None, the Brutes' presence on Reach was insignificant. There should only be Spartans and Elites.

Well, how about this. Maybe there is a tiny spin-off mission where you play as a Brute, but you fail (and therefore don't get much of anything till Halo 2)
Halo 2 you played as an Elite, and they were in Multiplayer, it should be the same principle with Brutes.

Remember halo 2 where the story was seen through the eyes of master chief and the arbiter, im allmost positive that reach will be played the same way. The Book was so awsome....I knew they were gonna make a game on it. The battle descriptions were detailed. H3:ODST was a way to introduce the players to a ODST in gameplay. You will more than likely play as Buck, a No Named Spartan(s) or maybe Master Chief, as for the third character, anyones guess is as good as mine....A Brute would be a good way to explain the storyline a little more to learn a bit more about them, and kill marines and ODST's for a change.

Read Reach the Halo Book!

U cant play as odst's or marine's because their really weak compared to a spartan, but it would be fun if you could.
