Subject: Why is Bungie suddenly dishing out all these new games?

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

"Why is Bungie suddenly dishing out all these new games?"

~ 1.) B/c they're awesome.
~ 2.) And they can.

Plus, this is a lot of fun. (not a long wait) :)

The events at Reach are just before they learn Halo even exists.
No, H:R is not about the Halo trilogy. And seeing as how that is central to the theme of this thread, it belongs in Reach's forum.

"Teabagging is for homos"

After Halo 3 was finished, Bungie split from Microsoft. In that split, Microsoft got the right to own the Halo IP. Bungie now is churning out Halo games once a year with very short deadlines (ODST-listen to the podcast). Halo 1-3 had a lot of quality to them. I don't see the same level of quality in ODST. It used to be an event when a new Halo game came out. Midnight launches, lots of promo etc. Now that MS is churning out a Halo game a year, hopefully the quality won't diminish. ODST had a very short development schedule and it shows.

I prefer MS and Bungie take their time and make a carefully constructed game rather than quickly churning out 1 a year. Quality over quantity.

I might understand if Halo: Reach is a completely new game different from Halo, but I doubt that from viewing the trailer. Anyone care to explain?
So you've come to the conclussion that Halo: Reach is just another Halo game, just by watching a planet?

Learn to read between lines.

So the guy who created this thread came to the conclussion that Halo: Reach is just another Halo game, not because of something he read, but simply for the fact that he saw a trailer with a planet and some voices. Yes, it's so damn obvious that it's going to be just like Halo 3.

I never in my single sentence said that it wasn't going to be a Halo-related game, or did I? No, of course I didn't.

They probably meant the end of the Halo storyline. Halo CE was when the halo rings became relevant and Halo 3 is when they stopped being a threat. They probably just kept the Halo in Halo: Reach because that's the name people recognize.

I applaud to you halfway.

Just so everyone knows, Halo is the name of the ring structure. In Halo 3, we ended the rings purpose. So it is the end of HALO trilogy. But who knows what the Master Chief has to deal with next.

as for Halo: Reach, i have no idea what this game has to do with the rings since its a prequel. But we will find out.

Umm.... Reach is in a dev cycle of fairly normal time (this wasn't the game co-developed with halo 3?). ODST is in being developed in the same time. I don't see the problem. Problems come when a developer makes a new one each year by a team made to make 1. When you have multiple teams making different games it doesn't matter.

Hell, look at Rare--> 2 games every year for the most part.

I think he means it could be something similar to Halo: ODST. Not in the way ODST plays, but how it's different but still the core halo gameplay. Meaning a depature, but slightly diferent.

However, where as ODST is grounded in 3, Halo 4 will be, well, Halo 4. It'll evolve its core mechanics. Really hoping it's not just a regular halo game set in reach though, although it can't, assuming they display reach correctly.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

Posted by: GhostNXGSprite
Yeah, yeah, I read the back of Halo 3's case. "The stunning conclusion to the Halo trilogy...". What happened? Yeah sure, we believed Bungie when they said Halo 3: ODST is merely an expansion, but now, there's a Halo: Reach coming out Fall 2010. I might understand if Halo: Reach is a completely new game different from Halo, but I doubt that from viewing the trailer. Anyone care to explain?


ODST is a little more than an expansion and Halo reache is a prequel to the Halo series.

What do you mean by "all these new games"? There were three years between Halo 3 and Halo Reach...

I dunno I kind of came to that conclusion based on the fact that it's called Halo: Reach.

Multiplayer Gameplay
Halo:CE------------------Reach--------Halo2-----------------H alo3
Campaign Experience
Reach----Halo:CE-----------------ODST-----Halo2---------Halo3

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

They are just using ODST as a test run to improve on their real project Halo:Reach, while stealing your money at the same time.

I kind of wish they would use a different engine for Halo:Reach, but it doesn't look like it. For the least, Bungie better greatly improve on what they have right now, instead of adding a whole bunch of pointless features (ahem remember Halo 3). I would like the frame rate to get higher, too.

Anyway, hopefully this plan by Bungie will pay off, and we will see a new age of game where you can actually customize certain things like how the weapons function. And, hopefully I can stop looking into the past with H1 and H2, and begin looking toward the future with Halo:Reach. This better not be another disappointment like Halo 3.

How the hell can you say that it "doesn't look like they're using a new engine." They haven't said or shown anything from the game.

I agree, to make money.

but also, Maybe the Reach game is to going to be made in conjunction with the Halo movie?

I heard a rumor that the movie script was changing focus from the first game to the Fall of Reach.

hhhmmm? Peter jackson hasn't gone away, and in Niel Blomkamp has a feature on the way. District 9

Halo 3 was the biggest entertainment launch in HISTORY! Let me repeat that word again "HISTORY"!!! There is an article about it.

Since it beat Spider Man 3's and Harry Potter Order of Phoenix's opening. Do you think Bungie is going to make more money if they keep releasing Halo games?

Of course! The only way Bungie will probably stop if it just dies and run out of ideas.

What I don't get is where people get the idea that Halo 3 was supposed to be the last Halo game. Bungie never said that. EVER. What they did say was that Halo 3 was the end of the trilogy, of that particular story arc That story arc being the "stop the covenant from setting off the Halos" arc.

They could make a new trilogy based around the chief if they wanted to, but chances are it would have to do with that planet in the legendary ending. Chances are it would have nothing to do with stopping a Halo from firing.

ODST is an expansion to the trilogy as well as adding the gametype Firefight into the Halo universe. Whatever Reach turns out to be, since it is not part of the Halo 1-3 arc, Bungie has not mislead us at all. The fact that we tend to overreact, misinterpret, and read too much into things is no fault of Bungie's.
true that. well said

ODST is an expansion so its not technically a new installment in the series. Reach is a prequel to the series soooo yeah. plus "2" isnt that many games. Square-Enix is working on like 6 projects at one time

1) All halo fans have been begging for Halo: Reach since the book came out.
2) Its awesome.
3) Bungie meant Halo 3 to end the Chiefs place in the story, not end the series. As they have said many many times

The fall of reach was a collosal failure for the UNSC, countless lives were lost. Why do the covenant always have to blow up planets?...


... and probably new games so they keep making money.
