Subject: Choose Your Own Direction Campaign - Possible for Reach?

I have this thread going in the ODST forum because it could be a possibility in ODST, but thought I would give you guys a chance to read my idea as it would most likely appear in Reach over ODST.

So you know those books where you get to choose your path through the book..?
Well do you think perhaps ODST or Reach will contain such an idea..?


You go through the campaign and reach a certain point where you get a cutscene then a question pops up that asks you a question like: "Get your troops together and chase after the Brute Chieftain?" or "Accept Johnson's mission and recover the missing video-stream needed to undercover the secrets of the Elite training facility?"

Could be a cool idea to choose your way through the campaign. That way whenever you completed the game a certain way.. there would be a lot of different courses you could take if you started over from the beginning next time. Would make the campaign unbelievable!

Check out my deviantART page

That sounds like a cool idea, maybe it could be in Halo: ODST or Halo: Reach. However according to Halopedia a Halo game incorporating part of your idea could already be in the works, it is called Halo: Chronicles.

I found the following information about Halo: Chronicles at Halopedia "Very little is known yet about the story line, plot, etc. In the UK (United Kingdom) the Xbox 360 magazine Xbox World 360, it was speculated that the game will be more of an 'interactive movie' where some parts will be semi-playable, and certain decisions will lead to different outcomes that you then have to watch play out. It has also been stated that it will delve into Master Chief's back story."

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

That would certainly be an interesting take on the game, but I think it may affect the flow and immersion of the gameplay.

Perhaps a more subtle way of implementing the decision making process. CyberFreak had a good post going about this, the need for some real decisions in the game. It would definately be interesting to see done, but I wonder how it play.

Well if any game studio could do this.. Bungie would be the one to do it.

It would definitely be a very interesting game, but I don't think that it's Bungie's style. When Halo: Chronicles finally rolls around, we'll have it.

Where do they talk about Halo Chronicles being an actual game in the future? And what is it? Is it a book?

It was a game in production by Peter Jackson and I believe Wingnut Interactive...? Something along those lines. It might have been canceled, but it was a project. Halo: Chronicles Halopedia article.
