I think that reach should be like a Star Wars Battlefront type game. Simply because there are so many spartans and covenant on reach when they attack it. I think this type of gameplay would fit the story perfectly. Like you'll be able to choose what class you spawn as, (such as sniper, heavy duty, vehicle rider). but still have the first person view to it. Anybody think this would be the most bad ass halo game ever created?
Well first, there were less than 40 spartans on Reach.
Second, if Bungie wanted to make a class based shooter, it would be better for them to develop a new Intellectual Property for that purpous rather than trying to adapt Halo for this purpous. Simply put all the weapons in the game would need to be heavily rebalanced to work for a class based shooter, so thats a lot of work right there. Furthermore, Halo loses one of it's key elements that has kept it alive over the years, it's near-sandbox like qualities that allow people to take the game and turn it into something like MLG, Grifball, Racing, Infection, you can't do a lot of that with maps and weapons that are designed to work for a class based shooter.
Third, the campaign has already been announced to feel like a squad based shooter without the extra baggage of a squad based shooter. In other words, your spartan allies are smart enough to see what you are doing and try to work as a team. I'm pretty sure classes fall under the "extra baggage" catagory.
