ALTOIDS RULE
Please comment to keep this thread alive for those who are confused!
Okay, I've been reading alot of weird confused posts on this forum lately regarding the game, and I would just like to correct the false information going around.
Anything followed by a " * " is speculation agreed upon by of majority of the Bnet users. Of course, they can be dead wrong.
WHAT IS HALO: REACH?
-Halo: Reach is a SHOOTER, not an MMORPG, not an RTS, not 4X.This is stated on the Halo: Reach page on xbox.com, as noted by a few users. Read where is says GENRE. **Halo: Reach could still be a third person or MMOFPS game, but they most likely stick to pleasing the FPS fans.**
-Halo: Reach is NOT "Halo 4", nor any kind of sequel to Halo 3. It is a prequel to the Halo: Trilogy. I think the name and trailer make this very clear, especially with the lines "From the beggining, you know how it ends". Halo: Reach is based on the biggest and most important battle in the UNSC-Covenant war, where the UNSC tried and failed to protect their most important planet after Earth, Reach. This is the battle where all the spartans but Master Chief presumably died, and it's events lead directly into Halo: Combat Evolved. The game is roughly based on the book Halo: The Fall of Reach. Here is an excellent Summery of the Battle of Reach
On a side note, Reach's Military importance to the UNSC is often compared to Pearl Harbor's Importance to U.S.A during WWII
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN IT?
-**Halo: Reach IS the Succesor to Halo 3, just like Halo 3 was to Halo 2, and Halo 2 was to Halo 1. It should feature new graphics, physics, AI, features, MM, ETC**
-**If Halo: Reach stays true to the Halo: The Fall of Reach novel, and doesn't add anything exeptionally new to the story, the only enemies encountered in Halo: Reach will be Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Hunters and possibly Engineers. .**
WHAT HAPPENED TO "NO MORE HALO" GAMES?
-Bungie never said they will not make another Halo game after Halo 3: ODST. They said that "We're not ready to discuss the other projects underway within the studio right now but Halo 3 : ODST does represent the final basket of goodness that we will be delivering for the Halo trilogy. There are no more offshoots or side stories in the works. ".
Halo: Reach is not a part of the trilogy, it is a prequel to the trilogy, and it is not an "Offshoot" like ODST. It is a full-length game, which is why it is taking 3 years to make. which leads me to...
-**Halo: Reach is one of the mysterious 3 projects Bungie was working on, the first 2 being ODST, and the final batch of Halo 3 DLC (Heretic, Longshore, Citadel).**
HALO 4?!?!
-Alot of you have been saying "ZOMG I was right about Halo 4!!". In a sense, you are correct, this is the 4th big Halo title Bungie is releasing. But again, it is a prequel. Maybe the ""ZOMG i bet bungie will make halo Zero!"" people should be celebrating.
HALO: REACH BETA?
-The Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta will NOT be included with Halo 3: ODST upon it's release. Halo 3: ODST will include an INVITATION to the Beta which actually starts some time in 2010. On June 2nd, Brian Jarrard did a post-E3 interveiw with G4, stating that once the Halo: Reach beta is released during 2010 to the public, an update will be released over Xbox Live for ODST, adding a new option to the ODST main menu, called "extras" which lets you play the Halo: Reach Beta, just like they did with the Halo 3 Beta on the Crackdown CD. The Beta may come out in March according to this thread . Brian Jarrard during his G4 interview: "...you will have to have your ODST disc and eventually there's part of the menu that says 'extras' and when the Halo: Reach beta becomes available on Mar....on Xbox Live, the disc will be your gateway..." When the Reach beta becomes available on March? Or maybe he was about to say market place?
WHAT ABOUT MASTER CHIEF?
-**Halo: Reach will not feature Master Chief as the main character of the game, but a new spartan so far only known as Seirra 259.** Master Cheif did not participate in the ground-side battle for Reach, but in a conflict inside a UNSC ship around orbit of Reach, which allowed him to escape the destruction of Reach aboard the Pillar of Autumn, leading into the events of Halo: Combat Evolved.
-**Halo: Reach will not feature a time-displaced Master chief from the end of Halo 3 who stops Reach's destruction**. That would be dumb and you know it. Bungie's plots may be complex, but I HIGHLY doubt they would go THAT far.
-Many of you have stated that the planet in the Halo: Reach trailer is the planet in the Halo 3 legendary ending because the trailer shows a floating frigate fully intact like the one MC was on, floating around the planet. All you have done is dis-prove youselves. Master Chiefs frigate was NOT intact, it was cut in half, the other half reaching earth with the arbiter onboard
MISC
-Halo: Reach will not feature Rick "Roll" Astley, nor Chuck Norris as playable characters if you pre-order the game.
I'll continue to add links to proove some of the things i've stated here, Fell free to correct me or add any additional facts.
Lets keep this alive for the sake of the less informed Bnet users, please!! I cannot handle another " MAster cheif travled baack in time" or "Halo: Reach beta in spetember!! so excited!!!" Thread.
