U know what i think halo reach should be like ODST and Halo3 combined we would have more sheilds then Odst but less than Halo3 Let us be able to customize (what ever we r) with more detail and more armors we Let us play as SPARTANS! but like the spartans in the halo books.

Well if we go by the storyline, we should have weaker shields, seeing as the Mark V armor used during and before Halo: CE is weaker than the Mark VI armor used during Halo 2 and 3

shields are the same, except their recharge speed. the older the suit, the longer it takes for the shields to recharge.

That would be interesting to play as an ODST, but I still want to play as a Spartan.

we wont be odsts. why? because the last game was called odst. if their main selling point was you are not a spartan, doing it again makes the first one totally redundant. you could play as an odst in anybattle ever, but reach is special because there are lots of spartans. and lots died

Spartans for sure, but I wouldn't mind another ODST campaign.

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."

Correction, Only John got the Mark 5. The rest of the spartans got mark 4. ( Kelly, Linda, Fred, etc. ) The mark 4 will not have sheilds at all.

True, but during the battle of Reach, the Spartans did have Mark V armor

I dont personally care who we play as, as long as i get a good story, fair multiplayer, and game mechanics that suite the game nicely. OH yea, and no ranks. I hate it when people say that your idea doesnt count 'cause your a leutenant grade 3.

  • 10.29.2009 12:39 PM PDT

I say we play as Spartan's. Anything else, just, it doesn't feel like it works.

Slightly off topic, I guess we could play as the Chief, and the last level would be the first level of Halo: CE but with updated graphics, to kinda link the storyline.

Sorry, just throwing ideas out there. :P

Play hard,
Play fair,
Play to win.

I agree

Correction, John got his Mark V first. All of the Class 1s got Mark V at Reach.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I'm more worried about how many. I'd rather only play 1 character. ODST tested the water but I don't know if I'd like to have that sort of overlapping shortstory of shallow characters again

No the shields were weaker in the Mk V, and there were no shields at all in the Mk IV

The shields and Health bar should come back for Mark 5. Mark 4 would be like the Health in ODST but a little stronger.
