The last enemies the player fights in Reach's Campaign are Elites, just like the first enemy the player ever encounters in the series is an Elite in the opening sequence of The Pillar of Autumn Echo 2 (COM): "Echo 2 to Savannah Actual. Where are the reinforcements coming from? I thought the target was jammed." Noble Six seems to shoot their assault rifle for longer than the normal 32 round magazine would allow without reloading. a b Diaz, Ann-Christine (August 24, 2010). "Behind the Work: Remember Reach".

The weapon selection has been streamlined from that of Halo 3, so that every weapon has a specific role. The number of different grenade types has also been reduced from that of Halo 3, and incendiary grenades and spike grenades did not return. Human weapons all hit more or less instantly after pulling the trigger, giving them a more powerful feel. There is no longer dual-wielding available in Halo: Reach, following the same path as Halo 3: ODST. Compensating for this, the weapons that were known as dual weapons in Halo 3 that are now in Halo: Reach became drastically stronger. The M6G Magnum, for example, is now almost as powerful as the M6D Pistol in Halo: CE, and has an even higher rate of fire. Intel– Planet: Reach". Bungie.

The developers originally intended to port existing Halo 3 assets to Reach and update them. [37] For Halo 3, Bungie had been forced to shrink parts of the game to fit the game engine's constraints, [35] but wanted to make Reach look better than its predecessors. [38] "The more we started looking into this, the more we found that realistically we could rebuild each asset from scratch with a huge increase in quality without significantly investing more time," said Bungie 3D artist Scott Shepherd. [37] Texture resolution and polygon counts for models increased; the Reach assault rifle is constructed of more polygons than an entire Marine character from Halo 3. [37] The prequel concept also gave the art team an opportunity to redesign key enemies, weapons, and elements of the series. Artists found inspiration in the original concept art for Halo: Combat Evolved; the shape for the redesigned Covenant Grunts came from a sketch that concept artist Shi Kai Wang created ten years earlier.
