Subject: Am I the only person who didn't see this coming?

?

Come on, Bungie never does stuff from the books. But, I've gotta say...IT'S ABOUT GOD DAMNED TIME.

Only question now is, are we going back with the Chief in his Pre-Halo 1 days with the rest of Blue Team or is this something new?

Go Rams and Missouri!

I wouldn't have seen it coming if everybody on Bungie.net didn't spoil it!

i really wished they woulda continued the story, even though the main part is done, but i mean, a prequel cant be too bad...

  • 06.01.2009 1:50 PM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Nope...

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

The only reason that any of us saw it coming was because of the Forum Search criteria that was found by a forum member. I don't think it hurt the hype that much. If anything it brought the crowd in before the actual reveal, which probably made the audience much, much larger.

Indeed, a sequel would've been epic, but come on, if the book is any indication, this is going to be incredible.

It only makes sense. If they made another Halo game they would of pulled the story from something that already existed in their universe. The entire premise of the story is Covenant versus Humans, they're not going to get rid of it.

Play, Fight, Win!... Okay and sometimes lose! :D

Wow I had know idea this would happen! I'm Thrilled that they decided to do this! By happenstance I had just bought all of the Halo books yesterday! :P

So an IP switch would be expected for a later game, I get that. I just hope we get those brand new animations from ODST.

Heh. I didn't see this coming. I was blind-sided not unlike if someone came from behind my laptop and smacked me witha ten-foot steel pole. Then blamed me for global warming and bludgeoned me with an avian of some sort.


Seriously, I had no idea. I didn't fathom that they would circle back to the beginning...

The reason Halo: Combat Evolved even began.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I've guessed that they would do something else. They've made way too much money not to try, but I didn't expect it now.

Tell ya the truth, I assumed we'd see something that wasn't Halo. At all. So glad I was wrong.

You never know, they can continue the story at anytime. Youll have to wait and hope the chief gets found ;)

Can you believe it?

Nope, I didn't expect another Halo game to be made by Bungie, especially after they said Halo 3 ODST would be the final Halo game they were making. I was expecting an entirely new series to be revealed before Halo: Reach got Leaked.

  • 06.01.2009 4:24 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

I always wanted a game based on reach, but I wasn't expecting one so fast.

  • 06.01.2009 4:25 PM PDT

Ohey guys :)

Not one human being on the face of the Earth knew that Bungie would be making a new game, even so close to the release date of ODST, if at all.

Black Chapter, for all religious and political debate that doesn't fit in the Flood.

Probably, TFM called it days ago when someone at Bungie messed up and spilt it.

Heck, the rumour that Halo: Reach was coming out was all over the net, including Kotaku. So, you'd have to have not been looking to miss that it was being announced at E3.

Yes, but Bungie has often said that the books are considered supplementary canon, and come secondary to the game. Guess that's all changed now, no?

This is what I was looking for: The Chief's next adventure. It's fantastic though.

  • 06.02.2009 5:08 AM PDT

I didn't see it coming even though I was wondering what this Halo: Reach thing people were talking about was a few hours before the announcement.

Once we get a Ghosts of Onyx game up, I think we're set.
