Subject: Reach's campaign, the way you would have wanted it.

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.

Let's say you got to direct Reach's campaign, the storyline, levels, everything. What would you have done?

Now I would have prefered the game to have been about Fred's unit on Reach and maybe the game focuses on Joshua. Joshua was declared MIA as his banshee was most likely destroyed by a nuke (or it's EMP, causing the Banshee to crash.) It would have been interesting if he had survived the crash and went onto fight the Covenant alone.

August 30
The first level starts out on Reach. Joshua gets his MJOLNIR Mark V armor. This is pretty much the training mode of the game.
After that the game cuts later to the PoA. The scene starts with Joshua and the rest of the Spartans preparing on the PoA. Alarms can be heard in the background and news of the Covenant on Reach can be heard. All the Spartans get onto the Pelican that is heading down to Reach. The game now starts in first person. The pelican is shaking from the turbulance. You can only move the camera and you see that all the Spartans are hanging in there with you. Then the Pelican is shot and you have to jump out. The scene ends with the last thing you see is hitting the ground.

The following levels are exactly what happens to Fred's unit and Joshua in First Strike. When Fred's Banshee crashs, he is lying there, but then is grabbed. He looks and see's Grey Team. They had rushed to Reach when they heard of the Covenant invasion. Their armor is still their old Mark IV but some of it has been repaired from Engineers they found on missions. Joshua joins Grey Team and they fend off the Covenant.

Each mission that goes by is a different day. The last mission is Sept. 7. Almost all of Grey Team is dead except for you and another member. You recieve word that the Master Chief has arrived on Reach and is going to evac Halsey and the other Spartans with her. Joshua deciedes to get into a Sabre and shoots down any Covie that try to get near Chief's ship or Pelican. The Sabre is shot down with the last Grey Team member dying in it's crash. Joshua makes it out but fights off Covenant waves. Lying there, about to be killed, he activates his suit's self destruct, killing all Covenant forces nearby, and himself.
The game ends with Chief making it to Earth. He takes some rest and is ordered to go onto the Cairo to recieve the Mark VI. The other Spartans are ordered to go on various missions. The last cutscene features hundreds of UNSC ships arriving at Earth for humanity's final stand.

You love making crazy topics...

That aside, how would Grey Team hear about Covenant invading Reach? There were so far behind enemy lines it was basically impossible to recall them for the mission...

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

How about you write fanfiction instead of making threads here?

Lol.

I hope that if 343i makes a game based on a book that it will be BASED on the book. i would rather have that than some kinda spin-off/alternate reality vibe going on.

I also hope they don't make new stuff every time we as for the old stuff back. CE AR- halo 3 AR, Spectre- Prowler (which really wasn't bad) Revenant, etc

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I'd have switched ODST and Reach around.

ODST = 3 year project
Reach = 1 year side story

Reach would have been 7 levels long. Beginning with Red Team preparing for RED FLAG (like the opening of ODST getting ready to assault Regret's carrier). Then the Covenant arrive, you switch between Red Team members on various missions against the Covenant from the novel.

Eh, I'd rather 343 ADD to the lore before doing that stuff.

Personally I think they should stick to their guns first, stay with what they know before branching out. We don't want Halo to go down the same way the Star Wars prequels *shudders*.

Eh... I didn't think Ep1-3 was that bad... least I didn't see what was so horrible about it personally. That's another topic though.

My thing is, it's very easy to go and simply present what has been released in a different format. But, being a campaign and lore fan, I wouldn't get as much out of the game due to nothing major being added to the overall lore.

I mean, yeah let's say they actually did that rumored CE remake. I wouldn't get much anything lorewise from it (Even if they did include scenes from the book and actually show Chief's struggles.)

I like the whole idea of media coverage of the Covenant. Like the loading screen would be the new's covering Reach. And on the last level the news anchormen get killed in the studio.
More levels would have been nice. I liked Halo 2's 14 levels.
Maybe levels where you play as a Elite?
I think there should have been in a scene where Noble Team walks through a bunker that is filled with civilians. You hear people and babies crying. Some people arguing with eachother. They all stare at Noble as they walk through and pratically grab onto them asking them to save them. Noble calms them down but Jun says over COMM, "They're already dead, they just don't know it yet." Carter, "Shut that mouth sniper."
