To play or not to play....

Actually the whole "Halo" name merely refers to the Haloverse. The story arc of Halo is actually over as the Halo network is all but neutralised and the Flood is now far less of a threat without the Gravemind.

Technically this game should simply be called "Reach" but then noone would know what is was about and "HALO Reach" is a title that will sell more copies. Plus the Halo word reminds people that it relates to the Haloverse.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.

The Battle of Reach takes place about 10 minutes before Halo 1. So quit arguing about it, and read the books already.

Try at least a few weeks.
Slipspace isn't that fast.
Still greater than light speed though.

I doubt there will ever be a Halo 4 but in a way this could be considered Halo 4 from a multiplayer perspective.

Timeline: Takes place before halo wars
Game engine: Most likely an improved version of halo 3.
No and No
Halo Wars is before Halo Reach
It will be a new engine as each Halo game has it's own engine (excluding ODST)

Remember, The task ahead is NOTHING compared to the power of what we have already achieved.

Reach is a prequel right? before halo 1and before halo wars?

Spoiler on the book:

In the book halo fall of reach John and 74 other's are captured to be on the 'Spartan project' after the first encounter with the covenant they get the first mjolnir armour's.

no, halo reach isnt basically "halo 4"
cause if it was halo 4, it must continue the story of halo 3!
but halo reach in in the planet "reach" and reach was destroyed Before Halo combat evolved!
if you have played halo 2, at the mission the Armory, Lord Hood says: "the ship that destroyed REACH was 20 times this size"
that means that reach was actually destroyed
and the game takes place before halo combat evolved!

Being an Elite is its own reward.

I don't know. Chronologically it can't be Halo 4, because it is not after Halo 3. And it isn't the 4th Halo game. It is the 6th (Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3 ODST, Halo Reach).

It probably won't be a whole new multiplayer. I mean, Halo 3 had beta, and its multiplayer wasn't incredibly different from Halo 2. However, it will probably have a new engine. Halo 3's graphics are good, but outdated.

And by the way...

We only seen one trailer so who knows
Exactly, It isn't even confirmed to be a fps.


Yes, it is a fps.

Q. My cousin told me that Halo: Reach is a squad-based tactical MMO featuring all kinds of ridiculous stuff that I shouldn't believe. Is he a liar?

A. Halo: Reach will be a First Person Shooter. You will shoot stuff from a first person perspective. It will be awesome.


See it here.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Judging by the trailer, it seems we're going to be playing a Halo 0.5.

You wanna play rough? OK!!!

I guess you can call it HALO 4. But like Devil May Cry 3 where it takes place before 1 AND 2. And like DMC4, that takes place in-between 1 and 2.

But this isn't HALO 4, as in the story that takes place AFTER HALO 3. HALO: Reach is a prequel to HALO 1, 2, and 3.

See confirmed FPS.

Halo: Reach could be considered "Halo 4" in the way of the graphics and the game engine. Like Halo: CE and then Halo 2, considering they were both on the same console. But it is a prequel so it would not make much sense to call it "Halo 4."

tbh, i think that the game centres around the charecters standing in the logo picture (the five shadows) and each looks like a unique charecter with a unique weapon ( i can make out a turret, a sniper rifle and I THINK a combat knife of somesort). so i think maybe your part of a team within the story? maybe controlling all of them at some point or a squad based shooter? but then again, its just MY theory and probabisly is WAYYYYYYYY off... but its out in the open now =D
