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.


I'm never been happier that bungie bring to a game the battle of reach and i love all the halo games, they are all so thrilling and exciting!

Whoa you are panicking too much, bungie should try to get all the money they can out of this game, I haven't played since the beginning, I started with Halo 3, I didn't have an Xbox I got a 360 last year and Halo is my most played game by far, series can last longer than just the 7 or 8 years since the first Halo, look at the Resident Evil Series still very successful and people want more and more of that and I was able to play the first ones.

My point is if you can still make a good game out of an idea keep on trying to be more creative and perfect the game by listening to what the fans want and of course what they think is right. Don't end it out of fear that you are milking it dry, last time I checked Zelda games are still some of the best around and people can't wait for the next one, the only game that comes to mind that has been milked dry is Sonic the Hedgehog, the series never should have left the genesis based upon the newer games.

Exactly, I wouldn't want the OP to be in charge of something successful, he'd hit the panic button way too soon. lol.

  • 06.17.2009 12:10 AM PDT

I am personally glad that hey are making reach. I have very high hopes for the game. As long as the quality doesn't decrease then it isnt considered milking as some ppl have said.
If they do make a sequel for halo 3. i would still buy it. and hope that it explained that planet and such but anyways back to reach and bungie. i will buy almost any game that bungie makes especially if it has halo in its title
and i have been playing since the beginning granted i haven't read the books or own the pc games. i am still a hardcore fan of the beloved halo series. You should be happy that they are making a new halo game.

in my oppinion, they should continue with the halo franchise because to be honest what would OP rather do? wait for like 5 years for some new game you probably wont like, or wait 1 year for a game thats in high demand and that you know and will probably like?
noone complains that blizzard are focusing on WoW, so why cant bungie focus on theyre strongest game?

Only the consideration of other gives your words meaning

I dunno we already know whats gonna happen if youve ever read Halo the fall of reach but it would make a fine piece of gameplay plus youll be pitted against the eliets again as the timeline says

Its there game man

Mmmmmmm... well, when I heard that bungie was making a new game, I thought, hey, I could get in on a new franchise early this time! Thus, hearing that it would be more halo (odst) was just a bit of a surprise; not disapointment, just surprise. Now I know what bungie is doing though,what with the nonlinear stuff and all I can hardly wait: I could spend hours just ambushing the covenant with my mates. And as for Firefight; the only reason I didn't like horde was cause Gears sucks, (oh yeah, I said it) so combining it with the halo sandbox is a winning combination. I know this doesn't have much to do with Halo Reach, but as I know nothing bout reach, this is the closest example I have.
...So yeah. Those are my two cents: Would like something new, but I'm happy with more Halo. We (I) out!

  • 06.29.2009 6:38 AM PDT

I absolutely agree with you. I want to see them make something new and fresh. I don't have anything against halo but it is getting boring. They need to make something that wont be limited or confined by the canon and something in which all things are possible, and not limited by storylines.

  • 06.29.2009 6:41 AM PDT

I have to admit, that when I first started playing HALO... I HATED it! It was so frustrating for me, the melee hits were delayed, I was just frustrated. However, seeing my friends playing all the time, and kicking my sorry butt, was just not happening for me. I continued to play so that I could improve. I hate losing lol! Now I have found that I play for fun, and I do love all the aspects of it! I think that bungie has it going for them wether they contine halo (which I think is awesome), or they spread their wings a little and do other things. I am not a bungie worshipper, however, I am old enough to know that when you find a good thing, you tend to hang on to it.

well... i don't think halo 3 will get old anytime soon, but i think that halo fans will have to dish out a lot of cash to get teh new games. I'm also worried about my GS, full hayabusa, EOD, EVA, and security armor. extensions are fine... but it took many hours of gaming to get it, and it may be annoying to have to start over

I think that they should at least wrap up the Master Chief/Cortana story. They left the ending to Halo 3 so open that it almost got me really angry. However, many people think that halo is really fun and as long there are still enough people like that they'll keep milking this cash cow.

as long as they dont milk it, i am fine.......

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I don't see the problem with sequels as long as the quality remains high.

So far, each halo game other than Halo Wars has been acceptable.

There isn't a "magic number" where the series becomes bad, it depends on how they keep making the games.

  • 06.30.2009 2:01 PM PDT

Until I heard that Bungie was working on a third project, I had mixed feelings. But now, with Reach and a new project on the way, I have no problem with another Halos...
