Subject: Mabye Reach Will be Class Based?

Just an idea I would love to see. All the different spartans in the trailer pic would fit into different classes and this would give us a chance to play as some alien races in multiplayer, mabye even Flood (my life would be complete then lol). This is just an idea and since halo isn't that style of game then mabye not such a great idea, but I still want to play as some more diferent races.

Sigh. No. We don't need to beat a dead horse. This is Halo, not Call of Duty. Halo is a different game, we like it being different than other shooters.

More races seems like a nice idea though. Seeing Brutes online could be interesting. and then Elite and Brute flood variants? Lmao, that would be pretty cool. xD

For Pete's sake, why don't you guys reference Team Fortress or Star Wars Battlefront if you're going to compare it to a class-based game, because Call of Duty sure ain't class-based; all Call of Duty has are customizable weapon loadouts, it's not the same as classes.

It gets kind of annoying, you know?

Good point. Call of Duty is just the first that comes to mind to me. Never played Team Fortress, and I haven't played Battlefront for years.

Classes are even more annoying then customized loadouts, because you may pwn noobs with your MLG Pro sniping skills, but then a Gauss 'hog comes around the corner and you better start kissing your Perfection goodbye. I'd much, much rather have the zany power weapons rush in the first few minutes then spawn with my favorite weapons and the enemy team is all MLG Legit Pro snipers. The ENTIRE GAME. This is the point at which Reach would cease to be an excellent game and instead become an excellent coaster.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I think it could be a good idea. The series does need to do something new that it hasn't done before.

Your not the first one to think of this, but Team Fortress 2 is the only best classes based game...I know Halo REACH is not gonna be a class based game, that would totally ruin the game and for those who dont know...Halo: Reach is a FPS, and Halo" Legends is a anime :), I just had to state that.

just because you don't like that specific idea for classes, doesn't mean you should hate the overall idea. One class idea would be a system where you only choose what weak starting weapon you spawn with. No lazers, no rockets, no snipers.
