The Game.

Posted by: pokeychris
So, what do you guys think about this? In my opinion bungie needs to go out and create a new game. Now please before all you guys that come in here and flame me about how "halo is freash" "it never gets old" Please take into concederation the fact that you have not been playing halo since the begining. Now when I heard this announcement at e3 I said wow thats nice we get another new halo! Then i began to think about how boring and old this title is getting. If Bungie does not get off this Milk train soon we will end up getting halo 17 reach rise of the covinant aerosmith. And I know we dont want this to happen. I also remember reading somewhere that bungie said that halo 3 was there last halo game. And hell, Were getting 2 more... So I know this is probably going to get locked and all but before it does i would like to hear your guys say your opinion. PLEASE DONT POST IF YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO WORSHIP THE BUNGIE PPL.


Spelling, puntuation and capitalization are your friends!


And look at it in realistic terms please. There are currently three Halo games, all of which are exceptionally brilliant, plus ODST, which makes four. Reach will be the fifth. I will now compare with other franchises. Call of Duty currently has five games, Modern Warfare 2 will be the sixth. Have they gone too far? No, because they are still making money (even though I absolutely despise Call of Duty). Gears of War is a relative newcomer, but no doubt the number of GOW games will rise in the future. Look at the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon (for lack of better examples), the amount of games in those franchises are phenomenal. Yet, they are well-established franchises, and will therefore make money.

I say, if it will make money and people like it, why not make it? The Halo franchise is still incredibly popular, so why shouldn't they make another one?

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Didn't I? Strange, I seem to remember playing Halo: CE a few days after it came out... Meh, was probably just my imagination.

And OP, if I had a chaingun...

I think making a new game after halo 3:odst might ruin the halo brand because the story might become silly and you might not understand it. So i think bungie has gone too far with this.
anyone agree?

The OP is a tooly fool for not thinking on the marketing and profit side of things.

'don't fix what isn't broken.' Final Fantasy has been following that same formula for years and people still lap that -blam!- up.

To be honest after FFX I stopped playing the FF series because FF12 introduced the real time turn based and I like to take my time so that ruined it for me. Although, most games before it were great.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

I am really looking forward to this game, I have played since Halo 1, however, I didnt read the novels, as I never cared much for reading, but I read the resume on halopedia, so I know what went on. I have been playing Halo since the begining, hell... I bought my first xbox just so I could play Halo, I remember seeing the Alpha version back in the day with the M1 Tank Look-alike they had insted of the scorpion we have now... The only thing I am worried about is them making us play Master Chief again, sure he is a cool character, but new faces in the universe wouldnt hurt(Another reason why ODST is going to kick ass). But if they do make us play as a SPARTAN, at least make us be able to customize them for both Single and Multiplayer and make us able to choose between male and female... Add a little character customization and moral choises(That doesnt inflict on the Canon) would be nice.

Gues we will have to wait and see what they can cook up for us :)

You sir are one of those gamers that get iterd of a game franchise relativly fast. It isnt your fault it is jsut the way you are. But umm no it is not getting old and isn't going to slow down any time soon. And with each game comes more and more awsome stuff. You have to consider in the fact that Reach might be using the Natal system by the time it comes out. IF that happens then you will change your mind. And Bungie has created one fo the largest grosing franchises of anything in history. You really think they should just give up and make another game? And yes i have been with Bungie since the original Halo came out so dont give me any mouth about only being a new Halo fan.

PS : You also muight want to add the more then 6 CoD games due to the oens relesed onm the PsP. Plus the FInal Fantasy series. And i don't hear any of those wimps complaining about the series getting old. Halo came out in 2001 and its only 2009 your going to tell me that a 20 y/o + franchise is still packing mroe luster then Halo that has only technically been around for 9 years give or take?

ps. I hate when bungie doesn't tell us stuff it makes me sad its like oh halo 3 is out now we have a secret project oh we were working on mythics but there is another "secret" project and thats halo 3 recon, no wait now its called Halo 3 ODST we lied, but wait there is more secrets oh here is Halo Reach but there is another secret, I still love bungie but anyway just less secresy or watevern thanks

Spelling, punctuation and capitalization can be your friends too, if you will let them. :D

I think I know what's happening.

Before any other sequel set after Halo 3 can be made, be that a Halo 4 or a different title with the Chief, the regular run of the mill gamers need to be brought up to speed with the extensive list of characters described in the books.

So Bungie, it would seem, have decided to do just that and are going to be getting us all better aquainted with the other Spartans, how they fought and how they died. Don't be surprised if a similar game to First strike turns up or even Ghosts of Onyx.

then after that Bungie will be able to reunite the other Spartans with John, wherever he is, and then we have some more fun with the Chief we all know.

After that, who knows. maybe we'll even have the vital ingredients for carrying on with the movie idea, as we'll all be fully informed of the entire story by the time that comes.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

Bungie is just gettin started!

Not being funny, but without halo bungie are just another game developer, face it, they lucked into a great game series, like tomb raider and many others before them. Dont have a go at them for giving us what we want, more levels, improved gameplay, can you imagine if they had just stopeed at halo CE?

I hope they make many more of these titles of the same style, as i like many others cant get enough of them!!

  • 06.10.2009 2:11 PM PDT

Photographers are sexy.

Though I do love me some Bungie Butt Kissing, I'll try to keep it to a minimum :]!

As long as the game itself is good, I will have no problem. And I'm sure I will be like "Yay new game for me to play!" nonetheless. Hopefully Bungie will fill some of the plot holes that remain unfilled as of the end of Halo 3.

  • 06.10.2009 2:50 PM PDT

What spectagon are you in?

i think halo will never get old.

  • 06.10.2009 2:52 PM PDT

The fallen shall be remember as the finest of all Spartans!

Wow OP, I looked at your played games and it has CoD 4. As for Halo being milked, what about CoD so you fail.

Please explain to me how making Halo: Reach will ruin the franchise. Please oh PLEASE explain how the story will get silly. The story of this game was created before Halo 2 existed. If any story were to be crazy, because it were a new game, it would be Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo Wars. You do know what this game is based on... right? Go read Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund, then tell me that this game will suck, and that it will ruin the franchise, and that it will be a silly story. If it weren't for this story, there would be no Master Chief at all. (I don't mean the book, I mean the events in the story itself.)

You dont know a thing about the franchise. First Halo 3 was the last in the TRILOGY, 2nd it's not a milk train people love Halo and they have great idea's. You're just an idiot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 06.10.2009 4:17 PM PDT

But who's to say that Halo: Reach is going to be the same as the Halo series? The Halo Series has always been original. They could bring out this game and it could be like Guitar Hero for all we know. By the way, don't expect to see good ole Master Chief cause he has left the Bungie world. Microsoft owns him now... Like how someday they will own the world... Not before Mac has its say though...

Anyway Bungie wouldn't repeat the same thing over and over. They are smarter then that.
