Got my mag today. Has some Spec Ops info in it also, but it's just a half page thing and doesn't have anything you wouldn't know already, but I'll post that if you want.

Anyway, for halo: Reach

- Campaign is squad based, but not tactical.You're the "lone wolf" and get to create your character by default. In multiplayer however, you take upon one of 5 spartans. Each plays differently.

- Elites are back (duh)

- Prototype weaponry

- Reach is a military planet

- Kat- light class- robotic arm- pistol/ knife

- John- support- chain gun/spartan laser- medic

- Jace - scout- sniper rifle/pistol- special visr

- Frank - pilot- assault rifle/battle rifle - gadgetry

- Kolt- heavy class - grenade launcher- machete- rage

- takes place from 3 days before halo 1 until about a tad into it

- Darker, more gritter halo

- Multiplayer is classed based, but still able to pick up weapons

- Perk abilities, examples given camo and sprint

- Halo 1 health system returning

- Open world structure, think a large scale version of ODST but without flashbacks and more ruckus going on

-lots of yummy screens. Beautiful game.

So yea, that's the gist of it.

I'm predicting that the multiplayer would be pretty much like the Battlefield except in Halo style, which isn't a bad thing for me. Anyways great info can't wait to get my copy in the mail. :D

"Reach is a military planet"

I meant to change that because I remembered that there wasn't anything wrong with Spartans sharing the same names.

Aside from the Class based system, it sounds good.

I hope we get to see some screenshots soon.

They're trying to do a squad based shooter? Man, I don't think that is such a great idea. Swat would cream them in comparisons.

Class System: All I could hope for thus far for Halo Reach's multiplayer.

Along with Bungie's signature gunplay and mechanics, we are going to have our FPS of the year!

The MLG community isn't going to like this. I wonder what's going to happen, I doubt that MLG is going to drop Halo 3 in favor of Reach, as it doesn't seem like a spectators game (it's similar to Battlefield 2 and Team Fortress 2, boring games to watch but incredibly fun and addictive to play) and there's no other game to fall back on.

I'm a little disheartened that it's class based, doesn't seem like it would work for Halo, but I'll wait before passing judgement.

It sounds more like 5 people who have different abilities. It says explicitly that it is not tactical and you are not able to issue commands of any kind.

I know everyone always says that but I've seen scans posted loads of times and they never actually get taken down by the mods. :?

Besides, it's easy enough just to link to them. I'm pretty sure that's okay.

I think its only NA scans that can't be posted because I see people post japanese ones all the time.

Possibly.

I guess it might only be illegal in the US.

Sounds great.

I want a different experience from the standard halos, but one that does not fall too far from the tree. It looks like Reach could be it.

i might like it, i love the battlefield series and enjoyed halo 1 and halo 2 multi a lot (singleplayer for all 3 are fun but not my selling point) but the 3rd games multiplayer was to stale for me compared to the first two. I am waiting for the reach beta to determine if I buy it or just maybe rent/pass. Modern warfare 2 and bad company 2 will due me just fine if this game doesnt stand up to my wants/needs.

Never been a Halo fan and probably never will be, still i found this news really good, i'm glad that they aren't trowing Master Chief games after Master Chief Games, instead they are truly expanding the universe and changing the formula, good for Halo fans.
