What does everyone think of a prequel to Halo to tell the story of the last fight for Reach? Most will know the outcome but the the story would definetley call for some intense battles. I think Bungie should do it if there's not a Halo 3 to launch with the next Box.

That...is a very good idea

Wow...and in it, they could have MC in his earlier years, in all of those campaigns to kill off the Covanent

Yeah, there's lots of scenarios in the book that would make a VERY great Halo game.

I must admit that that is a very interesting idea, and will have intense battles, but I believe it would end up being too long or too short. Too long if they start at the very beginning, and too short if they use just the fall of Reach. It also would be harder to start in the middle because of the lack of detail and in depth stories. But I still think it would be a good idea for bungie to look into.

I have to agree, that'd be an amaing game if they ever made it. Well, here's hoping :)

Yah a sequel or prequel to halo is very likely. Microsoft needs to have a big name game to kick off the next xbox and whats a better game for the situation.

The only problem that I can see is -- if it's an event that we already know happened -- that we'll feel like the inevitable is coming no matter what you do (like the Fall of Reach).

But, if they made it a complete branch-off and, using the crazy minds at Bungie, made it somehow tie in good to the whole Halo universe, then it could be a good idea for Bungie and crew

You got to remember though that the Spartans don't have shields yet, not until after Sigma Octanus IV.

It'd be like Episode 1; the technology would be different -- not necessarily bad different, because it's still the future -- but it could still be a good game, especially with the new technology of the new Xbox

You know what? There would also be ALOT more marines in this game. Because in Halo you've only got the marines that were on the POA.

Indeed, you'll witness countless Marine massacres.

Man, this could be great. There'd never be a quiet moment in this game. Maybe they could center each mission around you protecting one of the MAC guns.

The Orbital MACs were only being protected by ships. Unless you're talking about the stations that powered them planetside.

Yeah the generators that powered the MAC guns is what I'm talking about. At least that's what the Spartans protected in the book.

Not a bad idea, there would defenitly be some very intense battles.

A prequel would be cool. There would be MC and the other spartans, multiple spartans!

>spoiler<

There might be other Spartans in Halo2, read the books. Plus I think a RTS Halo might be fun, that was the original idea Bungie had.

I have thought about this many times. Creating a game perhaps called 117 that depicts all events that occured in Halo: Fall of Reach. It would be an awsome idea, and probably a wicked game.

I'm sure Bungie could do it, but I'd rather see a Halo 3 than a Halo -1. However, I think it'd be interesting to play the part in TFoR when all the kids are dropped off in the middle of the forest and they have to find their way back to a Pelican using a puzzle/map. Could make for some fun teamwork.

If they weren't going to do a Halo prequel they could do a spin off with one of the other Spartans - at the same time as Halo/Halo2 - diff missions, diff locations, etc

Well, there already is a sequal for Halo, and it is gonna kick ass! Go to www.halofirststrike.com and check it out. They will use the HEK editing kit to create a whole mod based on Halo : Firststrike. I wouldnt be suprised if after they came out with a prequal. Im kinda confused though cause if i remeber a couple of weeks ago they said somethin about Bungie and Microsoft not allowing them to create the game and their website went offline and then all of a sudden SPRIONG they are back.

You people seem to be forgeting something about a prequel for Halo. THERE ARE ONLY GRUNTS AND JACKALS!!!!

We fought only Grunts and Jackals from 2525 to 2552. It wasn't until Sigma Octanus IV that we saw Hunters and Engineers. It wasn't even until Reach that the first Elites were even seen! So if you ask me a prequel will only be so good. We'd only get to fight the short ones. Try to remember that significant detail.

Well, I've heard enough. Bungie needs to begin development.

i agree, it would be a great game and a great NextBox seller just like halo 1 was.
