Well i haven't really seen too many threads comparing the two and i know that it's a bit earlier to compare due to the fact that we've seen no gameplay from Reach, But i'm kind of tired seeing the same time travel threads, and etc... There has been lots of commotion about reach so you decide will it be bigger than Halo 3 why or why not?

Edit: I forgot to post my opinion :)
I think Reach will be much bigger because of the fact that Halo 3 is getting old and people want something new.

No, I think they are going to make the game case the same size.

Thats actually a tough one

Personally Im already more excited for Halo Reach than I ever was for halo 3, but I think thats only because I have awesome images in my head for the halo game I always wanted to play but never thought they would make.

Although on another level, i dont think the release is going to be as huge as Halo 2 or 3 was. I just somehow see all the frat guys sitting on thier couch confused as to why it doesnt say "Halo 4"

But Halo 2 was by far the most exciting launch of all the games, its just to bad it ended up being the most disappointing game in the series for me personally.

I believe Halo Reach has been worked on for some time now maybe along side the development of Halo 3. Halo Reach has to be Epic! I mean it is the prequel to one of gaming's biggest franchises.

LOL that's so funny.

I bet you it will be, if Bungie milks it like they did with Halo 3. I remember in the summer before Halo 3 came out, every week Bungie would post an update on how the game was going and stuff. Then they started announcing weapons and when they announced the mongoose everyone was like YES and then they announced the spartan laser and the mauler and everyone was like YES. Hopefully they won't promise DUEL WIELDING SWORDS without actually going through with it again...

Signatures are for squares.

Hell, yes.

I'm gonna be optimistic and say that Reach will be better, but I mean, I really can't say anything beyond that since all we saw was a short CG teaser trailer. I wonder if Bungie will make VidDoc's for Reach?

  • 06.08.2009 7:56 PM PDT

it better be, thats just how things go

halo1 < halo2 < halo 3 < halo:Reach
and to get halo wars you add all those up and divide by 4

Bungie made a great game in Halo 3. I think they are going to improve on alot of things, so I guess that Reach will be a bigger and better game.

if you want a video rendered but arnt pro, message me :D

Well I think it is because this is my theory. There will be 5 different campaigns, not really 5 totally seperate campaigns but you can choose to play as one of the 5 spartans we see above. Each one will have some of the same parts, some seperate parts. In my opinion that would be pretty fun. The only problem could be that when you played the same part with the rest of the group over and over again, but your still using different weapons/tactics. This would obviously make the game longer then halo 3.

So then it would be like this

halo1 < halo2 < Halo Wars < halo 3 < halo:Reach

according to your "calculations"

naw. it hasnt had the greatest hype as it did back when halo 2 had that massive cliffhanger, and everyone was like omgomogmomg xbox 360 halo 3 omg!!!!

now its just like yay another halo game.

  • 06.08.2009 8:27 PM PDT

I have no clue. They are more used to the 360 now so I can see them making levels quicker, but if they want to improve the game or graphics then more time and resources are being used so it would equal out and be pretty much the same size with more features. It's hard to say though. They had a small team working on either this or ODST during Halo 3 so it may be bigger, or they were only working on Halo 3 and ODST so everything is new, but since they are split into two teams or more then they may miss out in adding levels that would make the game bigger and longer. Like how Halo 3 lost the Guardian level, and resorted to some backtracking. The team may be spread too thin for making a Bioshock campaign experience. It's too tough to figure out without working for Bungie yourself.

I don't want to join your group.

Probably. Every Halo game is more popular than the last, and I see no reason why that trend would slow.

  • 06.08.2009 8:34 PM PDT

Oh. You mean more popular... Well, I don't think so. The internet has spread a ton of hate, and Halo has competition. Not to mention the economic problems. I say it'll sell a bit less.

Why So Serious?

Only time will tell.
