Subject: Can we perhaps agree on some terms to use when discussing Reach?

I don't know about you guys, but when someone says "I want Reach to be a class based first person shooter", there is a huge ammount of confusion for me on whether or not they are talking about a CoD style class system or a Battlefield / Team Fortress 2 style class system. There have been several misunderstandings when the writer meant one style but the reader interpreted it as another.

As a community, can we come together and decide on some terminology to distinguish these two class based systems other than "COD style class based system" or "BF style class system"? It would really make things less confusing.

I personally have no ideas for possible terms at the moment as my brain is elsewhere today, anyone have any suggestions?

Apparently, you don't understand what the word "Style" means.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Hm...A BF:BC class system in Halo? You may just be on to something...


The game would HAVE to center around Marines. The Marines need some attention, or rather, More attention.
