Subject: Halo: Reach RPG/Squad based shooter

Halo: RECON was thought to be a 3rd person squad based shooter for some time.
What if that theory was correct but not for Halo ODST.
This could be that project.
on another note
I think Halo Reach could take place for the week and a half that the surviving ground teams on Reach were using Guerilla tactics to fight the covenant forces looking for the forerunner artifact. If they made an open world 3rd person shooter with a hub base for the spartans i think this could be really cool

I bag if they're pissed so their super nerdrage brings me lulz.

If Halo: Reach isn't a FPS, I'm quitting out of the first game and never touching it again. 3rd person view FTL.

it could even be a Mass Effect style team based RPG

I think it should be something like Star wars, republic commando.

  • 06.01.2009 9:57 PM PDT

FPS are the best kind of shooters, sure Gears is okay, but Halo is just full of win.

for sure you could have like an open world 3rd person shooter for campaign.
And then have your typical Halo ONline exp but with a 3rd person exp.
But there are no shields invented yet...

I hope that they stick with FPS. TPS' feel a lot less "REAL" to me. You can see so much more since it is over the shoulder and that makes it a bit easier to hide and wait for when you see someone on your screen than an FPS when you have to wait till they cross your sight in some way.

i still want FPS though.

get out of here stalker

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm still hoping for another FPS... it just seems so strange to play halo from a different genre. But, then again, I personally thought Halo Wars was successful, so I guess a change of pace would be refreshing.

i liked halo wars alot and i think its good to change up the style to give some new breath to a series

Just because it's a squad based shooter, does not mean that it has to be third-person. Have none of you played the original Ghost Recon/Rainbow Six or Republic Commando?

true but the size differences in the characters are not typical in a FPS but are typical in 3rd person shooters with an emphasis on campaign

if it is 3rd person shooter i won't even bother looking at the box. think how successful bungie was with fps. that would be like starting from scratch. they could risk ruining there reputation. which means less money and crappier games.

How would you make a Mass Effect type game multiplayer though?

FPS or Nothing at all.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Halo CE was originally a 3rd person shooter.

Personally I believe that they should keep it as a FPS, for the campaign. The game is more legit as an FPS because it feels more real and therefore, in my mind, makes for a better experience. However I think that there could be and alternative matchmaking game for TPS this way you can have the regular FPS and if u want to mix it up you could play TPS online

But guess what, you played it as what? a FPS. which is far better. And to the other guy who mentioned MMORPG..

HELL NO. If it is anything like WoW, I am not giving it the time of day

My point was Bungie has developed a 3rd person shooter b4 it wouldn't be starting from scratch
