Subject: wait how can you make reach a game

the only way to do this is if they were making halo 1 all over again what took place on reach that was so important that had to be a game. (and yes I read the book)

unless there was no campaign but just online like shadow run

Its quite simple. There are like 39 spartans alive just before the Battle of Reach. We only knew the names and personalities of like 10 of them. There were many unamed spartans who fates and battles weren't specifically explored. In this game we will take control of a spartan or spartans from a squad of five spartans who were part of the Red Team who fought on the surface of Reach before it was glassed.

You are right that to focus on the main characters int he Reach book would not make a very good game as we already know their story, so by looking at the events of the book from a different perspective, a spellbinding story can be made.

We have never seen a squad of spartans fight together, I mean Master Chief destroyed armies single handedly, imagine what five spartans can do.

And yet, you are cut off from reinforcements, you will most certainetly die as you watch the planet burn around you. Ever had a first hand experience of watching a planet die and not being able to stop it despite your amazing power?

Its gon b kay.

Your logic is flawed.

Just because it happened before CE doesn't mean it has to be the same. Does that also mean the graphics should be the same?

That said I would like some of the features from CE to return.

Who says they die in 15 minutes? The spartans in First Strike survived the glassing of the planet. Why couldn't these five spartans survive and continue fighting through the rubble of the planet?

I can't believe I got warm by a fire fed with my manuscript. What a nightmare.

Considering Reach happens before CE, this made me picture it as a 2D sidescroller in the vein of games like Contra. hahaha

Read First Strike as well, the ground engagement on Reach lasted much longer than 15 minutes. Besides even though Reach is confirmed as an FPS, we don't know what kind of format the game is going to follow. It could play through several POV's over a tight timeline like in ODST, who knows?

Also as mentioned, there is a lot that can be added without taking away from what is already there.

To name some features that should return, the HUD, weapon set(mostly, it could have additions), armour, and vehicle models.

It was a few day battle. But, if you only count the time up untill the glassing, it was probably 10-15 hours.
