wow hey up until at least 7 they were pretty good. red mage ftw

Am relieved to hear that it is a FPS. Ordering spartans around is up my back alley.

I, too, speculated that it would be class-based. The Spartan could be like, TF2's Heavy, and then maybe have like an ODST as the Scout, or something.

Yeah, thats more or less what I was thinking Mobster. The bulky spartan on the left in the image is afaik an EOD armored spartan who is just really bulky, he'd be the heavy.

I pretty much assumed it'd be an FPS, I'm just hoping the gameplay is different than classic halo. It could still be class based and an FPS, or some other style.

Anyways, I have a new speculation about the games campaign:

You pick up where halo 3 left off, the planet is Reach, and you end up rescuing the lost spartans from when the planet was glassed or something.

Personally, I think that would be fucking awesome.

Most likely not happening that way. You do know what it means for a planet to be glassed?

Well I've always heard people saying there was a possibility of some spartans surviving it. I know what it means, but once again it was merely speculation.

Even a spartan couldn't survive the glassing of every inch of the planet's surface, and the boiling of the atmosphere.

Some Spartans escaped, though. One of the Halo books (First Strike? Or maybe it was The Fall of Reach?) explains how some of the Spartans managed to get off-planet.

It was First Strike, but that was just because the Covenant were searching for an artifact, so they did not glass that portion of Reach.

Why, for any single second, would anyone think a Halo game with Bungie involved wouldn't be an FPS? I mean, they only revolutionized the genre with their unique touches and sold millions of copies of the games while doing so. It'll be interesting to see how this one unfolds.
