Now, before the trolls eat me alive and i get flamed into a crispy black corpse, let me explain.

Details were leaked a while back about the Halo MMO, as well as screenshots etc.

If you check out the image for Halo Reach (handily placed at the top of the page) there are some strange physiques there. Since no details of HUGE guys with flamethrowers (on the left) were ever described in first strike, and a lot of the silhouettes are varied and a bit strange, I'm thinking maybe its gonna be the MMO - those games are full of different classes and what not and i doubt M$ are gonna let another big seller just get scrapped.

I can't say i'm an MMO fan (and i hope its not one) but a plausible theory, no?

I leave it to you Bungie community. I'm stumped.

Not impossible but highly unlikely. That's without a doubt Blue Team. But a Halo MMO would most likely take place after the events of H3.

Someone at Microsoft said that it is a FPS.

There is also the fact that when you buy Halo 3: ODST, you get access to the multiplayer beta. If it were an MMO, I'm guessing the beta wouldn't be called "multiplayer" since that is a specific mode in games and an MMO is only multiplayer. Also, I think Reach is too specific of a name for an MMO. Those are my thoughts.

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'M GONNA CUT YOUR NAME RIGHT INTO HIM!

A MMORPG can still be a FPS you know

No in fact it would be called a MMORPGFPS.

Like Fallout 3 RPG with the MMO aspect. The great thing about Fallout 3/Oblivion was the fact that it gave you the option of playing it with a FPS view. The RPG element of Halo: Reach might explain the wierd silloettes, in that you might be able to customise what you are wearing so much so that the Bungie community are having trouble making out what is being shown in the Halo reach Banner. And the MMO aspect would be amazing cus it would let us all wonder about in the Halo universe instead of the ghaye warcraft one.

It is verified by countless sources that Halo Reach is a FPS.

Signatures are for squares.

The Halo MMO was a project Ensemble was working on, but Microsoft Didn't like the idea, and with the company closing anyway, the idea was scrapped.

ummm does our signature have to be in cursive because I
don't know how to type cursive
http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/best501st/Group/GroupHome.aspx

it could be an mmo that is an fps because reach was where the spartan program was so maybe you would have people being those spartans but i think it could also be a sequal or prequal to halo wars either way the master chief probably wont be the focus considering that thier were multiple spartans in the trailer

I like games and music

That is a bad idea if it was bad but if it would turn out good it is a good idea.

Yes but what Im saying is that Fallout 3 is an RPG and it is but it still quite clearly is a FPS aswell. So although Halo Reach will be a FPS theres no way in confirming that it wont have RPG or MMO elements.

I wondre why everyone assumes that it is some form of an fps it could be an RTS considering that it sounds like it takes place during the fall of reach it could be a sequal to halo wars

what sources all bungie has put out about it was a teaser trailer that is not enough to confirm anything you can only make theories

I was sort of hoping that each character at the top represented a different take on the campaign. That would make 5 different campaigns with the same ending. That would be sweet.

Microsoft's John Schappert told Joystiq its was gonna be a FPS and thats a good enough quote for me

You missed the point. There is no "MMO" in the given genre on the website, and Joystiq received a personal confirmation that "of course it's an FPS" by an MS representative. It is not an RPG game of any kind.

  • 06.05.2009 9:26 AM PDT

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

It's a FPS.

Have you ever heard of subdefuge? Even though its quoted as being an FPS that still doesnt mean it wont have other elements. Fallout 3 is marketed as an RPG but it sure as hell is a FPS aswell. I'm just saying that nothing can be ruled out at this stage. Frig you could jump in a hornet in Halo 3 and fly around in it then stick Flight-sim on the back of the box and still be correct.
