Why is the phaeton in a Reach themed DLC?

First of all, this is not another Falcon topic or a 343 bashing. I’m just curious as to why a new phaeton variant was even considered for a Reach themed DLC in the first place

Because it can be?

I would guess they had wanted to make a Phaeton martian since launch and just got to making it now.

Another pointless topic. This has been discussed several times in several different threads. I see no need to make a new one.

I did not like it either. That Phaeton is going to be like a banshee ultra

IDK?

If you have been paying attention not everything in each update, they are updates not DLC by the way, were not necessarily within the “theme” of the update.

I don’t even associate infection with Reach… I associate it with H3, yes I know it technically started in H2 I just played it more in H3.

Because the ‘scam of reach’ update was a good hype point?

Yet we are getting Infection, Noble Team’s armor, and a host of balancing and UI updates. But, muh Falcon.

Because it’s just a Reach theme. Not everything has to be directly lifted, and most of it isn’t.

They could have but it in hog wild

Infection was pre reach. Half of noble team is reskinned to look ‘similar’ and oh yeah, this isn’t a thread about falcons. Didn’t bother to read OP did you? This update was sold on the hype that is reach. With very little content to actually do with reach. Including the unoriginal, reskinned Phaeton . Not that deceptive advertising is something 343 would do? Is it?

honestly reach was not that great of a halo, campaign was awesome but by far my least favorite MM

Agreed and the campaign wasn’t even that great. I hate have friendly AI that is worthless essentially. I don’t understand all this love for Reach. I guess there are a lot of players who just started with Reach around so they think it’s the best.

Because didn’t you see up in the corner of that one mission if you play in the right difficulty order and do the right button combo for 1/10 of a second you’ll see a phaeton in reach

Why were camo hogs in Shadow and Light?
Why was the CE pistol in Hammer Storm?

Because they want to make you have more of a chance at unlocking a Phaeton?

Possibly because in their roadmap they had the Phaeton variant to be created and playtested for Memories of Reach.

By that I mean personal roadmap, not the one that just showed four titles.
