Subject: Anyone else dissapointed by Halo:Reach?

Don't get me wrong, I love the Halo series and have been waiting to hear of the next Halo game. But for someone like me who has read the Halo books, Reach seems like a let down. I was hoping for something that expanded the Halo story, like what happens to Master Chief, or something that tells what happened to those in Onyx. Re-touching a story that has already been told seems lazy. Unless the title Reach is misleading or they dig deeper into the story then I feel worried about Bungie's next game. I guess if your someone who hasn't read the books then Reach will be a great insert into the Halo series. Otherwise I wish that Bungie had chosen I different plot for there next game. Feel free to discuss why you do or don't agree.

well it seems weird to say you're disappointed in a game that won't be released for over a year but I am guessing that bungie or some other company will probably make titles about the other things you stated

xD

I do agree with your statement about expanding on the story of Ghosts of Onyx and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we all want to know what happens next in that story. But in my opinion bringing the story of the Fall of Reach to life will no doubt be amazingly epic and engaging. I really can't wait to see what new gameplay elements Bungie will be implementing.

I can see what you mean. If they do it right, seeing the battle at Reach could be an epic game. I still kinda feel a new story arc would have been good.

I'd always want new story elements, but as long as the game is great I'll be happy.

Does anyone even read these?

Don't buy it if you don't want to.

You've no idea what the story is going to be; you're disappointed already?

  • 06.06.2009 1:34 AM PDT

Look, you don't know -blam!- about the game yet. You have no idea when at reach it will be, or what the next games will cover. Cool down, we don't know anything yet.

That's 9 e's.

Nope, it looks awesome. I hope forging is brought back, too.

Why do people always feel the need to do this "/thread" business? How does your opinion destroy everyone else's and "win" the thread?

But anyway, I see what you mean, OP, but I think that Bungie made a good move in making a game about a story in which the fans are very familiar with. It will be a truly epic experience to go through the battle of Reach, I think.

It's just somewhat of an internet joke, don't take it too seriously..

The fact you know the story in general doesn't mean you know the specific stories of each person involved.

Also this could be more based on the covenant side of things (however much I doubt that).

I appreciate everyone's positive feedback and overwhelming kindness. Anyway, the point of the thread was not to 1) say that the game will be bad or that I won't buy it, 2) that I hate everything, I even stated that I LOVED the Halo series, or 3) that I am steaming mad and need to "cool down". That said, some of you did make a good point that the story may expand much more than the book does or happen during a different time period, here's to hoping your right.

ever since i read Fall of Reach in 2001/2002, i've said they should make a videogame off that.

After 9 years, you guys should trust Bungie with delivering a good game.

Spinning a plate on a stick is impressive, but if you try to spin three at once then you'll just end up digging porcelain out of your face.

I'm disappointed at your father's inability to pull out.


Man, that's just cold. Sorry, dude.

even those that read the books will learn new things in this game because while alot of what happened in reach was in the books alot hasnt been explained yet about the gems that have been found.

Have you considered that maybe it isn't based on The Fall of Reach book and maybe thats where Chief Landed after Halo 3 (the glassed remains of Reach).

Im probably 100% wrong....but opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one.....except for Stosh and Shishka.

You see, here is where you are wrong. The Legendary Ending has a blue planet, almost like glass right?

"ZOMG ITS GLASSED REACH!!!"

Not quite.

You see, that's not what it means to be glassed. What you saw in the trailer, The Red Scarred World...That's a glassed world. Glassing does not literally turn the planet into glass.

And Its a Confirmed PREQUEL to the Halo Trilogy. So no, its definitely not the Legendary Ending...

And nothing will ever expand on the Halo 3 Legendary Ending. That's it. Master Chief's Story? That's over. There may be a game with an earlier Master Chief. But, there is no more story for Master Chief after Halo 3. He's over.

Well I just hope my speculation was wrong. I guess the game does have room for some new plot lines. Although I know they said no Halo 4, I still wish they would expand on Master Chief. Are they really just going to leave the story like that? Maybe one day.
