Halo Reach ODST. Various ODST squads that have been deployed to missions all over Reach. This would be a full game (not a add-on like ODST) so there would be multiplayer and forge in addition to campaign, Firefight, and theater

Human Weapons: M7S Caseless SMG , M6GS Magnum (Silenced Reach Pistol), SRS99D-S2 AM SD, M392S DMR, M6CS (M6C SOCOM), SRS 99 AM, MA5C ICWS, MA5KS Carbine, M90 CAWS, M45 TSG, BR55HBS-SR (optional), MA37 ICWS, M41 SSR MAV/AW RL, M319 GL
Note: In campaign all covenant weapons and vehicles would be unusable (an ODST wouldnt be trained to use them efficiently)
Note: Un-silenced variants also included for silenced weapons (M6G replaces un-silenced M6GS Magnum and M6C SOCOM)

Covenant Weapons: T-25 DER, T-25 DEP, T-33 GML, T-33 LAAW, T-25 Carbine, T-51 Carbine, T-52 Pistol, T-31 Rifle, T-50 SRS, T-52 SAR, T-50 DER/ Heavy, T-52 GML/E

Armor Abilities:
Sprint
Evade
Jetpack
EMP (disables enemy and friendly HUD while active)
Biofoam (5 sec. Health Regeneration.)
Armor-Lock (only ALMOST invincible and no glowing or odd ground-punch thing)
Landmine- (plants land mine that will last until destroyed, NOT until you die but you will not get points for any kills you get with it after you die Also the landmine would be smaller but with a slightly more noticeable light)
Multiplayer + Firefight only: Active Camo, Drop Shield, Hologram

New Vehicles:
Transport Falcon- Like regular falcon only turrets have been removed and all seats can be sat in. People riding use their own weapons (side seat)
Gauss Falcon- Falcon is equipped with a gauss cannon in place of the turrets. The turrets have a much slower rate of fire than a gauss warthog
Sniper Falcon- a falcon equipped with a built in SRS99D-S2 AM with a 8-shot magazine
Grenade Launcher Falcon: like the one in Reach only forgeable
Hornets: (no pilot controlled guns but there would be two machine guns hanging off the side of the falcon so it would come down over the side seat persons shoulder and they would use the turret


The game would start out with the 16th Tactical ODST squad. You start inside a UNSC Marathon-class Cruiser (like in Prepare to drop on Halo 3 ODST) named UNSC Perchance to Dream. You can chose one weapon which you will have along with an M7S/ Caseless SMG. Then you go through a complete drop similar to Halo 3 ODST except without the crash. During the drop there is a battle in sub-orbit with two UNSC destroyers versus a CCS-Battlecruiser. You see the destroyers destroy the battlecruiser only to get ripped to shreds by plasma torpedoes. One squad member gets hit by a piece of debris from the destroyed ships and his pod gets knocked off course and he burns up in reentry. Then you land and complete a mission to secure an AI core that had not followed the Cole Protocol and had not secured its navigation data. The AI core is inside a ONI underground base. You land on the surface not far from the base in an area that looks like Highlands (Defiant map pack) you enter the base and hit a button to begin the navigation data purge. Then you have to hold the area (like firefight). After that ends and the data is purged the ODSTs get picked in Hornets (cutscene)
