In my opinion; The Halo CE feel was superb for a game. It had scary parts, happy parts, mysterious parts and those parts that you just wanted to drop the killing and look for hidden things and various easter eggs.

I would also like if Reach would run on a new engine, we all know that Bungie cannot rely on a old engine forever anyway. So why not make a new one now?

As far of terms of graphics, they seem to play a big part of games theese days so I would say that it's a important part of the game that should also be improved over Halo 3.

I also think that Halo Reach should keep the FPS because that is the truly way for me to experience a Halo related story.

Post anything you would like the game to be in terms of feel and gameplay here.

and you're right.

woot.

It's most likely going to be a darker Halo. I mean, when Reach fell (in the story) Billions of lives were lost, so I don't think the marines will be as "comedic" as they are in the other Halo games.

I don't know about a new engine. I mean, they're using the Halo 3 engine for ODST and it looks much better already than H3, IMO. Bungie has said that the artists had more time with the engine and figured out how to do a lot more art/graphic wise. So they might not even need to develop a new engine for Reach.

Sure, but I like the idea of a new engine anyway. Destructable stuff and buildings collapsing you know ;)

"If buttered toast lands buttered side down, and cats always land on their feet, then what happens when you attach buttered toast to the back of a cat?

The way the battle of Reach was described in the books was epic. HUGE brigades of Covenant against only a hand full of Spartans, Marines, and ODSts. I remember reading the part when they had to defend the MAC power stations and I was just in awe of the mental pictures I received from the text.

THAT is what I want.

“I’m Your prisoner by choice. I will rest at Your feet, and I’ll only lift my voice when You want me to sing"

Non-stop, balls to the walls action with lots of explosions and enemies and vehicles and spartans and marines and....just BALLS TO THE WALLS u kno? And kickass CG cutscenes.

Time flies like an arrow; fruits flies like a banana.

The Halo feeling. Fighting a losing battle against superior foes, with Humanity dieing around you.

  • 06.05.2009 10:18 AM PDT

I think we should play as a Marine or someting... maybe Buck from ODST (He was at the Battle of Reach). It would be awesome to have a huge multiplayer battles too, like 12 vs 12 or something. Pelicans and all. Maybe space battles too. Tbh... this sound like the perfect game to have space battles and ground battles (like that Starwars game).

  • 06.05.2009 10:24 AM PDT

it should be like Halo 2 (the music style) , with 15 levels (20 would be better), many characters.

It would be good to use multiple Spartans in different levels, and multiple Elites or/and Brutes in other levels... this game can be the best Halo game made.

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

Battlefield: Halo!

It needs to be dark. We need to feel the pain of the moment. There needs to be death, and lots of it. They need a new engine, and I would think they are making one (with a new MP beta needed). They need to make it expansive and ground=breaking, like Halo CE. And I would honestly love for the game to have hours of cut-scenes, as they are the foundation of the Halo franchise for me.

I could not agree more. I would also like to see if more Spartans survived.

If we do fight as the master chief, or any spartan, we need a crap load of cutscenes showing them being killed off by thousands of covenant. This game just has to be huge in scale compared to the other Halo games.

I hope they make it ground-breaking, just like CE was. I'm not all that fussed about graphics but seeing a Halo game in amazing graphics would be sweet. As long as they get the gameplay right it should be awesome.

IM A LEGIT 16

Remember: We won't be the Master Chief.

I think it should be hopeless and dark. The books always showed humanity fighting a losing battle, showing hopeless scenes and characters with low morale.

In the games, the marines are cheery and every battle is won.

It makes sense since there is a Spartan around and in the games they were fighting a possible battle.

In Reach, they were outnumbered, outgunned and were glassing the planet.
Reach should show the darker side of Halo, like the suicidal marine in Floodgate.

  • 06.05.2009 11:23 AM PDT

Darker. Like ODST. Also, H3 graphics are pretty damn good, especially the textures.

Oh and more blood like in CE, stop trying to get a T rating! The scene after a fight looked boring in H3, back in CE you could tell there had been a big firefight there.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

It should feel like Halo CE

fast paced, intense, exciting

Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinaeum

The Halo series up to this point haven't really got the idea of epic warfare across, it just seems to be small skirmishes between squads. I know they took steps with that in Halo 3, but I think they can push the idea a bit further. Reach is the most heavily armed and defended world held by humanity, I want to see huge battles between humans desperately defending against overwhelming Covenant forces.

Yeah, and sometimes you save all sentient spieces, but that's not really worth mentioning.

Yes, you saved the entire galaxy in Halo 3 with about 10 marines.

Don't you hate how on the back of the box it says all this bull about how master chief is humanities last hope? Yeah, one spartan is really going to save the entire human race.

Nope, with only one Elite.
