SNIPE SOME GRUNTS ON THE WAY OUT!

in halo 2, you play as the arbiter in some levels. but theres one thing i noticed.

YOU DON'T SEE THE UNSC!!!

there for you cant fight the UNSC. if REACH has some levels like halo 2's arby levels(thats IF) i hope we will actually fight marines, spartans, have a banshee vs hornet(like the hornet vs banshee level on the covenant) and take cover when a scorpion is around.

please don't say ''theirs no levels in reach like that. i know because i'm so smart and psychic i can see the future and know what reach is like blah blah blah''

thanks.

I don't understand why you're looking at my profile. Just back off, and nobody gets hurt, okay?

well, you DO see some dead marines, and human flood. but i get the point, it would be cool to PWN some marines finally...

I like this, the only thing that they need to do is give the marines the HP of the CE marines, In Halo 2 I saw a marine take 3 beam rifle shots and lived. and in halo 3 I just think marines grunts and jackals could take way too many superheated spikes and plasma bolts.

true.

Theres no levels in reach like that. You see, I'm smart and psychic. I can see the future, and know what Reach is.

...Or rather, I can simply ask some questions.

If you are playing as the Covenant fighting the UNSC, who are you going to fight? Spartans? For sure not. Theres only 30 of them. Who else would you fight? Marines? Shieldless weak wimpy marines?

Would be a waste of a campaign. Would you want to play a campaign that was full of grunts and jackal marksmen?

Reach will focus on the Spartans and only the spartans.

They never meant the player to play as the covenant fighting the humans.

those shield-less wimpy marines could be the most difficult adversary in Halo. Marksman Jackals were the deadliest enemy in Halo. now imagine a marksman jackal that is not a dumb-ass that presents him self with a big blue shoot me here light. and actually uses window shadow so you never see him until you or your allies head is missing.

I'd rather not play a campaign of snipers vs. you.

or what I would lie kto see the marines do more Is use grenades to drop shields and have some guy with a BR waiting for a clean head shot.

this is also something I would lie to see vs the covenant. on legendary instead of giving the enemy bigger HPz why not make them tactically capable.

i hope they could make two separate campaigns. one would be the covenants story, second will be UNSC's story.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The Arbiter > Master Chief.

Seriously, it needed to be said. The Arbiter is a better developed character.
