: I did have one idea, which was to take the opening level, where Noble Team : and the leadership still think (or perhaps wish) that the problem is : rebels. Have there be a real rebel action, and do a level or two where you : fight them. Humans fighting each other seems to be a design directive : prohibited by Bungie, but it might have worked to have Spartans : reluctantly fighting rebel humans, only to have the Covenant arrive and : force them into a makeshift alliance. That could give you a character : (rebel leader) who could have an arc, and whose death might be more : meaningful. : I'm not sure Bungie ever would have wanted to do that, but I think it might : have dispelled the notion that nothing much goes on in Reach's story until : close to the very end, and it might have been achieved without touching : much of the actual mission designs, save for the change of target. See, I get your concessions to excuse Bungie for the liberal use of caricatures, but its things like these that seem to make me think that it was certainly possible. This is one of but many theories that could have given these guys some, to me, emotional depth. I actually agree with most of what you've said here.
