Subject: Lets not automatically assume FPS

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Halo: Reach looks like there are more Spartans. Generally since Spartans are bad ass and not like the UNSC/ODST soldiers (in the sense that on Legendary they probably shouldn't just be obliterated as soon as they appear), one would expect "Squad Elements". I mean everybody who doesn't believe 24 and most video games realizes military is all about Squads. So we're looking at a "5 person squad" on the cover of this page. Which would be tight.

Now the thing is 80% of Squad based games are "Third Person Shooters". So I wouldn't say this game is a gaurnateed FPS game.

Of course it could be RTS...but I'm not betting $$$ on that. RPG? Wouldn't attract the same fan base either.

Of course Halo online is some of the best FPS online so it would be sad to see that go, I would rather see Bungie remaster the FPS squad into something Epic and kick ass.

oh my god he's got a gun !

could be, but man would i be angry... that would suck, i would never play it.

If anyone can make a decent FPS squad game, it's Bungie.

  • 06.01.2009 2:34 PM PDT

For some reason I picture Reach to play something like Terminator: Salvation - not sure why, though.

  • 06.01.2009 2:35 PM PDT

An online multiplayer RPG on the 360 would be kind of odd .

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Whether it's an FPS or TPS it will probably be amazing.

also the best squad based game i can think of stars wars republic commando and it was an FPS

  • 06.01.2009 2:39 PM PDT

POW!POW!POW!

I will be dissapointed if it is not a FPS:(

  • 06.01.2009 2:40 PM PDT

GT: Il Immortal Il those are iL s :D

Honestly it's too soon for me to be making guesses.

However, I find myself giddy with excitement over Reach (more than ODST) ... I can't wait for more info.

Yeah, cause Gears, Command and Conquer, and WOW have done terrible, right?

FPS is the genre that attracts the most people and bungie knows it
Bungie also knows that FPS isn't the only profitable genre

plus theyd piss of their hardcore fans
Hardcore Halo FPS fans, maybe. Don't forget Bungie also made Myth and Oni

its lose lose if they shift from FPS
Pure speculation.

I don't know what Reach will be. FPS is probably the safest assumption. But suggesting Bungie is unwilling or incapable of making anything but an FPS, or that gamers only play FPS games, seems like a pretty baseless assertion.

Notice the banner on top of this forum showing five people, including a female character? I wonder if that's an actual clue to the nature of the game!

Well that was one of the reasons I was going squad. The other reason is we have MC Solo, so Reach would give us a Spartan squad which would be cool.

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

Yeah it would be awesome if it was a FPS like Star Wars Republic Commando, just better and Bungie awesomeness involved.

Best games in Halo franchise:
Halo CE, Halo: Reach.

I think it will be an mmo or something like it except in FPS for the 360 and pc maybe or maybe just the 360.

Dude this has to be an FPS. It would make it easely the game of the year hands down. Especially with the characters and the story. A game like this would be an epic FPS shooter...seriously.

I don't think halo 3 got GOTY.

This game could be 3rd Person Shooter, FPS, Strategy, or even and RPG. Who knows what Bungie will have in store for us.
