I know! You thought it couldn't be done! That it would never happen! That this game absolutely, positively would not have Master Chief in it at all! Well, that's not entirely true. We've confirmed at Gamescom 2010 that Master Chief will be in Halo: Reach ... just not in the way you're probably expecting.
Bungie has an elaborate "Player Reward System" in the game, where you earn credits from everything you do in the game, even working in Forge. You can spend these hard-earned credits on armor upgrades that become available to you as you level up. These items are opened up by the community at large as well, and Community Lead Brian Jarrard's hypothetical was example was, "When the community collectively kills one billion grunts, a new tier of armory options might become available."
You can choose to save your credits and purchase special items like Armor Effects and Firefight voices. It determines whose voice you hear while you're playing first person in Firefight. These brand new, newly-recorded voices include Buck (yes, Nathan Fillion is back), Sergeant Johnson ("Suck it up, Marine!"), Cortana (that'll be strange) and ... Master Chief. In fact, Master Chief has more lines in this game than he did in any of the other Halo titles. "You're going to hear him talk more than he ever talked in the original Halo games."
So, there you have it. There's some brand-new Master Chief content in Halo: Reach, but you'll have to pay (by playing) to earn it.

I figured it would be something like this for a while. Steve Downes was at an anime convention I attend (weird place to find him) and he mentioned he did some recording for Reach. He said that Master Chief's role would be "very different this time around" and left it at that. I figured cameo at best, but as a Firefight character, that's awesome!

I agree with GodofGore22. Maybe not that exact phrasing and as a true throwback he should have the AR, but that sounds like a GREAT ending cutscene that would (for maximum effect) take place after the credits are done rolling.

It would be awsome if you could be Master Chief or Arbiter with a HUGE amount of points. Or at least get there armor.

If you know read the books... You would know that Master Chief was with Blue team on a space op when Reach was getting attacked by the Covenant and the rest of the Spartans were down on Reach when it was being attacked. Once Master Chief finished his space op he got on the Pillar of Autumn and they were off to Halo.

Nice guys. "this is old.....this is very old news" There is no need to reiterate what someone already said. I am fine with it being old news. I am busy. I am in grad school and don't have the time to invest to be on top of every news feed of all my interests. Thats why I like G4.com. They cover most of everything, albeit late at times, so I don't have to keep up on various sites.
