Halo Reach FAQ

Q:This post I saw had something about Reach, and it was posted before it was revealed, he works for Bungie right?
A: No. Halo Reach was leaked on May 30, 2009 when a forum on it appeared when using the search bar. Many saw this, and Bungie quickly covered it up.


Q:Where does Halo Reach take place?
A: On the Planet Reach, one of the UNSC's most important planets, due to it's status as a major military hub. As of yet, there are no other confirmed locations.

Q:When does Halo Reach take place?
A: At least a fair portion will be set during the Fall of Reach, which immedietely preceeds the events of Halo Combat Evolved.

Q:What is the Fall of Reach?
A: It is one of Humanity's greatest defeats during the Human-Covenant War. For more info, look here. The book Halo: The Fall of Reach covers a portion of the battle, as well as giving extensive background information on the war and the Spartans.

Q:Will Bungie be making it?
A: Yes.

Q:Will John 117 (Master Chief) be in the game?
A: Unknown

Q: Wait, so you're saying Master Chief may not be the character you play as?
A: Bungie has yet to comment on whose point of view you will play from.

Q:Will the events covered in the novel Halo: First Strike be covered?
A: Unknown

Q: Is Reach the planet Master Chief is seen drifting towards at the Legendary ending of Halo 3?
A: Unknown

Q:I heard there is a multiplayer beta, how do I participate in this?
A: You will be invited to the beta when you purchase a copy of Halo: ODST.

Q: My friend told me that the game will be a(n) RPG/MMORPG/RTS/TPS, is that true?
A: XBOX.com has confirmed that it is a shooter. And Bungie has confirmed it's an FPS.

Q:Will we be fighting Elites once again?
A: Unknown

Q:So, will we still see Brutes?
A: Unknown

Q:How about Drones?
A: Unknown

Q:When will the Game be released?
A: 2010.

Q: Is this an expansion for Halo 3 or a completely seperate game?
A: It is a standalone game, thus the reason it is not called "Halo 3: Reach".

Q: Will we see familiar weapons and vehicles?
A: Unknown

Q:Which Assault Rifle will we see?
A: Unknown

Q: Neither the SMG nor Battle Rifle were present in Halo CE, will they be in Reach?
A: Both have been in production for many years before the events of any of the Halo game. But Unknown as of now.

Q:Will there be ODSTs?
A:While this is the largest military base in the UNSC, the presence of ODSTs is unknown.

Q: Will it make use of Project Natal?
A: Unknown, although there has been interest in it from (some) Bungie employees.

Subject: Halo Reach FAQ

?

Glad to get another one of these threads. All the ones I've seen have fallen off the face of the forum(mine included).

  • 06.02.2009 9:32 AM PDT

...because you have definite inside info on the game.

  • 06.02.2009 9:34 AM PDT

Yeah... these are Frequently asked... The threads with these questions are non stop...

Why can't there just be one FAQ thread finalized and created by a Bungie employee?

I think you have a good thing going here to help out with those who are constantly making new threads about some of these things. Although I would rephrase some of the answer to avoid providing speculation and just "facts". Example:

Q:Will John 117 (Master Chief) be in the game?
A: Bungie has yet to confirm any characters in the game.

Possibly even provide links to good discussions on some of the questions? Would be helpful to those who want to speculate on some of these unanswered questions.

This would be nice, but it's hard to have a FAQ the day you announce a game. It would be kind of silly to say "Frequently Asked Questions", when 24 hrs ago nobody was asking any questions.

Yeah, I expect either a mod or an employee to post an official FAQ sometime over the next few days.

Agreed entirely with Stunner's post.

A proper FAQ cannot have speculation or answers saying that something will "most likely" happen. If we don't know, the FAQ should simply say that we don't know.

Additionally, we (meaning the moderators, since I am not an employee) do not really intend to create an official FAQ at this time, since the forum is only a day old and therefore there are no truly "frequently" asked questions.

Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like noones watching.

This represents me.

A FAQ for Halo:Reach is tough to do at this point, because we really know almost nothing about the game unless you base it off of the book. In fact, we know much less about this game than we do ODST, although that is expected being that ODST comes out before Reach.

The speculations you had before in the FAQ were helping me in my analysis. Too bad indeed.

Your life can change directions at any moment. Make sure you live your life to the fullest.

Sticky this IMO. This would clear up a whole lot of questions and make the forum have less questions and more speculation.

Disregard that. Read the other posts.

I added a few threads of interest. If anyone has anymore suggestions, feel free to post them.

  • 06.02.2009 11:45 AM PDT

And ... Boom goes the Dynamite.

Cool. But it'd be a nice if a bungie employee either made one or pinned this.

This has been suggested before, but probably won't happen. This thread is the number one resource (FAQ wise) for now on Halo: Reach.

No, just a Bungie thread would be nice.
