I realize it's a prequel, don't get me wrong. But if Bungie is making a completely new multiplayer system, then Halo 3 will soon be obsolete and all online activity will soon shift to their new game.
I guess my main question is why Bungie would remove focus from their main game so quickly after releasing ODST and finally having all their map packs out? I don't personally feel like Halo 3 needs to be retired anytime soon.
What do you think?Bungie is a developer, they make money releasing content. They make a lot of money releasing new games. Halo 3 has been out for a long time, and is probably the most popular console game of this generation so far. However, Halo 3: ODST is not a full game, it is a Halo 3 expansion, and it will have been out for a full year by the release of Halo: Reach.
Being that Halo 3 has been out since 2007 and it is now 2009, I think Bungie sees the need for a new and improved game to compete with the newer competitors that are coming out.
Thank you for actually reading my post and not just the thread's title. I had a feeling people would be thrown off by that. I've read Fall of Reach and I'm perfectly aware that this game is going to be a prequel. I wasn't interested in where the game fell in the Halo timeline, I wanted to know whether or not you thought that the game would be replacing Halo 3 as far as Bungie's spotlight went.
And a Halo game every 3 years? Yeah, that does sound about right. Okay thanks.
