ODST was a great game, love it or hate it. The numbers don't lie. The sales, the reviews across the board, and the fanbase here, except the few attention whoring grumpy daddy-never-hugged-me types who love to grumble.

Anywho, as far as the Campaign goes, some elements from ODST's story I'd like to see is the idea of playing from multiple perspectives.

Like perhaps the first couple missions are the Spartans all together as a team. And then something happens and they each have to go their own way, each with a separate mission. And you get to play each of those. And then the finale of course would include all the Spartans together (assuming they all make it).

Any other parts of ODST you'd like to see again?

(Please disclude Firefight. It's awesome, we all know it already, and it's pretty much a shoo-in for the next game due to it's massive success.)

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.

I'd like to see ODST's lack of Dual Weilding make a return in Reach.

firefight and, automag and nothing else

Veto for ARs!!!!

A Hunter fight that was actually fun.

  • 11.17.2009 10:22 PM PDT

No dual wielding (it just feels... wrong), something like VISR, a pistol with zoom... and of course, Firefight. But you told us not to say that. D=

Whats up with Spartans calling Elites Dinosaurs? I mean Spartans are the ones almost extinct! XD

The part where they're defending the MAC generators n a large portion of Spartans get slaughtered, delicious.

Well, Im talkin bout scenes that "are" supposed to have happened...

blarg, bow chicka wow wow, boomshakalaka,

i want to see something like NMPD headquaters (the finale). you have tons of heavy weapons and missle pods. imagine a highly secure building (intelligence or something) your on the roof. (its like 3 stories high + a roof) and your fighting off wave after wave, phantom after phantom and eventually you retreat into underground tunnels, or wait for a load of pelicans to come and pick you up.

  • 11.18.2009 1:37 AM PDT

i d like to see the stasionary gauss turrets,the smg and the pistol the visr and the ability to sneak

  • 11.18.2009 2:01 AM PDT

Eight Gauge Hippo!

early version of visr mode.
the little 1st person cinimatics at the begining of the levels.
playing from multiple perspectives, like you said.
either the automag or the ce pistol (but without instant hunter kill)
and stealth missions.

First of all Id like to play at least one mission as an ODST with the stamina system as I think it would be interesting to have variable health systems and keep the campaign interesting throughout.

Also since Reach is an invasion Id like a few of those "firefight" style missions where you hve to defend a location or hold out for extraction.

  • 11.18.2009 5:18 AM PDT

Much larger and less linear levels. The way you could creep around and take multiple directions in the streets was fantastic.

  • 11.18.2009 7:03 AM PDT

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

automag (without scope for gameplay purposes), firefight, a banshee level, and another "hold out for as long as you can vs. unlimited enemy aircraft" kinda level.

Well the only reason I said not to mention Firefight is because it's obvious. Everybody loves Firefight and it will more than likely be in the new game.

Multiplayer/Matchmaking, Forge, and Firefight are pretty much assumed at this point to be in the new game. If Bungie were to not include one of those after their huge popularity, it would be shooting their final masterpiece game in the foot before it even gets out the door. I seriously doubt they are dumb enough to do that, considering the millions of dollars and great games they've made up to this point.

I forsee Forge using Natal controls, and I am hoping that the new Forge will be able to use darker settings like in ODST. Perhaps just have a night version of each level, or have it be a toggle switch in Forge?

The Automag and Silenced SMG should make a return in some form, I think. Perhaps they will forget the whole silenced deal, or actually make it work like a silenced gun!

I do hope we see Engineers as a retuning enemy too. It would make sense, as the Covenant only came to Reach to find the artifact buried underneath the mountain. The fact that it happened to be the UNSC's largest military base was just a happy coincidence for them. So plenty of Engineers poking around on the surface would fit well.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

*Heart attack*
No! My SMG/MAGNUM! Come back!

I like scenarios, similar to COD MW2's Special Ops but with a story running through the event.

ODST did that pretty well with the flashback scenes.

Automag.

I know this isn't in ODST but id like the ability to go prone. I know you weigh like a literal ton but still we've seen MC get up in cut scenes and id like the added sneakiness of crawling though bushes and such.

  • 11.18.2009 12:49 PM PDT

~ Big Boo ~

not the automag the br needs to come back maybe along with the automag but definetly i need a br or a human rifle, also like the idea of stealth missions

  • 11.18.2009 12:54 PM PDT

1. Firefight
2. A health system
3. Squad based missions (like the end of ODST)
4. No Battle Rifle
5. No dual wielding

**Note: The last two are probably going to be there.

  • 11.18.2009 1:29 PM PDT

hey! you found me! :D check out my GT xXTh3 Lucky7Xx and hit me up so we kick some ~blam~ in Halo 3 and ODST and now Reach

ok ok after reading your post i though of a really good mission or something like that for the game ok

here it is:

You and a few Squads of UNSC soldiers and Spartans defend the MAC generator against Multiple waves of Covie forces... after a fierce battle you and 1 other UNSC soldier walk around the compound to see if there are any survivors and you are shocked to see many UNSC and Spartans laying on the ground dead

CUTSEEN TIME :D

ok here it is

you kneel down to see if any of them are alive and the UNSC soldier says "Chief are they still alive" Chief replies "no".
the UNSC soldier moves up on ahead and finds multple brute Chieftains dead the soldier says 'da**it they are all dead" the chief hurries up and doesn't say anything the soldier says "looks like they put up a brave fight but was overwellmed with the Chieftains" the soldier replys "chief? are we gunna make it we have lost too many casualties" the chief says "we are gunna finish this fight(LOL cheezy moment) one way or another. radio for evac tell them that the MAC gun is secure and add that we need a corpsman"

I hope Buck will be in Reach. I remember hearing that he was on it, and it would be a cool level playing as an ODST again.

  • 11.18.2009 1:44 PM PDT

The auto mag
however i want the br back... at least for the campaign

Buck and Dare were there. It would be cool to have them make an appearance.
