Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

Well iam sure by now everyone will have played Halo 3 ODST. So what you will have played is Firefight and a new style of Halo Gameplay. I was thinking what if ODST was a big experiment for Reach, after all and dont critisize me for saying this ODST was a bit of a small game (that dosent nesiceraly mean it was bad, just perhaps a little over priced, and yes i know thats not Bungies fault) but anyway all these new additions seem to have had a mixed amount of feedback,perhaps Bungie has been paying close attention to this feedback for Reach. Let me give you an example, we loved firefight but it had now MM so you could only go on it when your freinds were willing to help you out, now that Reach is on the way perhaps they will register this and add a firefight MM. Another example, we saw in ODST's Campaign the reintroduction of health packs, perhaps this was another test to see if it makes for a more chalenging but also entertaining expirience for Halo Reach. Well thats what i think and i do apoligise if this theory has been stated before but I havent been on the forums in a while. Anyway please do discuss this if you agree with me, iam open to critisism and other theories so long as you dont flame or make stupid uneducated comments. Thanks for reading i look foward to reading your posts.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

Yeah....

I don't think so.

Plus, use more than one paragraph.

Until there's paragraphs, my eyes are on strike.

the smghas to be in reach, it just has to.

Well i think your right, but one thing.. There has to be healthpacks in reach because the mark IV didn't have biofoam injectors

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Yeah...not at all. ODST is it's own separate game, uncorrelated to Reach. Health Packs are the only thing that should be shared.

mabey they will have some of those 1st person cinematics they had in odst

I got my Recon for the '08 VDay tournament for second most kills; 2671.

I didn't "earn" it via VidMasters.

Here's my two cents.

ODST was Reach, on a very small scale. Healthpacks, squad-based gameplay, FireFight, small team working on the ODST project.. Now, my guess is that in Reach will be squad-based gameplay with a majority of Bungie working on the game. No, no not ACTUAL squad-based - I mean playing through indivdual characters within your squad. Like John, then Linda, then whoever else. Just like how it was the Rookie then Buck, etc. You get the picture.

Yeah.

I actually read your post and i think that you may be correct. If it is a test, they probably could have learned a lot from it. In fact, i would be somewhat surprised if it was not a test at all.

throwning snowballs at cars is like doing a bell ditch. The end result is basically the same: sprinting away from the large man exiting his car who yells profanities, hiding behind a house, and watching as his car patrols the street, waiting to murder you.

Asking the flood for dating advice is like you going up to a bunch of starving Africans and debating the pros and cons of the bacon roll vs the double cheeseburger.

Some one who stands for nothing shall fall for everything.
