So if this is a new online multiplayer with Halo Reach (which the beta sugests it is), will this mean the end of the Halo 3 multiplayer for a lot of people?
I mean i know people still play Halo 2 and Halo: Combat Evolved even when Halo 3 came out and has been a huge sucess but will the new game spell an end to its supremacy on the xbox live most active online charts?

The end of Halo 3?

I don't know, what is Halo: Reach?

Is it an FPS? Are you certain of that?
Maybe it's a squad based 3rd person shooter.
How about an action based RPG with PvP elements for matchmaking.
Or a squad level RTS with play dynamics and maps similar to current Halo matchmaking.
Heck, you don't know that it's not an MMORPG.

How can we know that it will replace Halo 3 without knowing what it is?

Well this was in the fourms:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/03/halo-reach-is-an-fps/
(sory dont know how to make link)
So it says that it will be an FPS.
So will it mark the end?

ohai...

I believe it will be an FPS, stick to what your best at eh?
And Bungie seem to do best with the FPS genre.

And Bungie have left it open for MC to play a role again so, I believe this won't be the end :P

That sounds amazing, I always wanted humans vs convenant since Halo: Combat Evolved.
Will the humans be Spartans or ODST's and will the humans be fighting Brutes or Elites?

The answer to your question is that it really does depend on a lot of things:

Firstly, we need to know what type of game Reach is?
Secondly, we need to find out if the online multiplayer for Reach is similar to Halo 3's onlne multiplayer.
Thirdly and finally I highly doubt people will stop playing Halo 3, people are still playing Halo 2.

Last thread that im posting this in. Halo: Reach is a confirmed FPS. If you dont know that by now, do your research instead of posting nonsense.

IDK...yes...maybe. Honestly, I was excited about Halo: Reach before I even knew what it was. So were you. What does that say about us?

It means were Halo fans :D
I can't wait for this game...I know it's gonna be the best game ever and I haven't even played it yet.

  • 06.03.2009 12:56 PM PDT

In an interview with Joystiq a MS employee confirmed it to be a FPS.

I could honestly care less about the end of Halo 3. It was a good game but it's been played for a while now and they need to progress into the future. I'm not necessarily saying that newer is better but we need something new and something that'll keep Halo fans super interested like me. I love the story and multiplayer but Halo 3 sort of failed in that. They need to see what they did wrong on Halo 3 and make Halo:Reach even better.

Bungie might integrate the matchmaking of Reach into Halo 3 like they're doing with ODST.

if they intergrate the matchmaking of Reach into Halo 3, what would be the point in a multiplayer beta :P

RaNK HeLP OnLY This group will offer you rank help for free. We will never ask you for anything to rank you up. ONLY FOR FREE!!

hopefully they will find out a solution, to stop people making second accounts. Also make it harder to rank up and make it impossible to boost. Then beta souds pretty fun.

I'm thinking its going to be like Halo 3 mulitplayer but with larger team sizes, and perhaps with classes (though I don't think that will work very well.)

Solves a lot of problems:
>With so many people, its hard to keep track of rank, so it might adopt a performance based ranking system instead of an outright win ranking system. This makes rank less important and so people might ease off a bit nor take extreme measures to boost.
>Lots of people means that it takes a determined team to spawncamp.
>With so many people it is less likely that a vehicle will utterly dominate, so there no longer needs to be hyper powerful anti-vehicle weapons like the spartan laser.
>Moar Elephants
>Pelicans?

Anything is possible. I used to laugh at the people who said there would be a Halo 4, and look where that got me. The irony is killing me. Perhaps we should start listening to the people who are calling for other things we once thought were impossible?

That's a Flaw

Maybe. But if halo reach goes back in time with weapons and people dont like it then no. i believe that bungie will do a good job with it and it will be the next number 1 online game. I hope they take out elites in multiplayer cause if it is back before halo 1 then we never had teamed with them.
