Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

Here I've done a bit of research from reading TFoR (brilliant book) and also I've learnt about the events of what happened on Reach. So I came up with a list of levels/cutscenes that could be pure winsauce.

Levels that would be hair-raising

- A level about the initial Covenant invasion. Think about it; hundreds of Covenant dropships dropping down, accompanied by a hail of plasma, and thousands of Elites/Brutes/Grunts/Jackals streaming from the ships...could be very scary.

- A level based entirely on tension. You are assaulting a Covenant camp recently set up, and it could be so tense if Bungie created an incredibly stealthy feel; like one mistake could have you dead.

- One level could include the Forerunner structure in the mountains, and you could sense the eeriness of its age, its technology, its grandeur. Like an ancient giant waiting to be awoken.

- Finally, I think Bungie could really pull off the fighting in the caves, how all the Covenant are furious to retrieve the crystal from the Spartans and Halsey. Hordes and hordes and hordes of infuriated aliens, sprinting to grab the shard of crystal, whilst you and your fellow Spartans retreat, firing into the waves of Covenant. Terrifying.

Cutscenes that would be hair-raising

- The intial cutscene could be seen from an orbital view of Reach, and slowly Covenant ships appear; vessel after vessel, hundreds beginning to re-enter normal space, an overwhelming sea of purple. Epic.

- Another could be how all the Spartans of Red Team jump from their crashing Pelican. Imagine it; green supersoldiers throwing themselves out, falling hundreds of feet down to the hard landing below. Scary!

- One more I've come up with is the glassing of Reach, probably the most epic moment in the game. It could be in the level or a cutscene. Imagine seeing streams of bubbling hot plasma scorch the ground of the environment; not just one beam, but several, burning the planet into a giant marble.

Anyway, please think of some of your own epic moments for Halo: Reach.

Yes... all of your cutscene/level ideas would be epic. Another idea that I think would be just as winsauce (:P), would be a naval battle.

Bungie said that Reach will be a completely different game right? So perhaps, they should let us do a fleet vs. fleet battle, whether it be controlling one ship, or the entire fleet. Some say the game will be a third person party game (think of Ghost Recon), so perhaps that could come into play.
