Subject: So what exactly is this game?

So what, it's basically Halo 3 although taking place in between CE and H2?
What is the purpose of this game exactly, a new multiplayer experience or just another single player campaign?

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

I think you are in the wrong forum. Halo: Reach takes place less than a day before Halo: CE. You are thinking of Halo 3: ODST.

Its a whole new game. it is confirmed to be controlled in a First Person Perspective, and involves weapons of some sort.

It is confirmed to have multiplayer, and possibly to have singleplayer.

I just did read that this takes place right before CE, so yea.
So basically is this Bungie milking Halo for more money?

It is a full game made by Bungie(of course), it takes place a couple of hours before Halo: Combat Evolved. Read "The Fall of Reach" and you'd understand better.

we'll see. if it is a good but exactly the same rendition of the good old halo formula, it is a spinoff. If it takes risks but isn't all that great, it was a good idea. if it is an FPS Guitar Hero Ripoff, it's a milk.

Not neccessarily. It may not have anything to do with the book storyline. The only confirmed story element is that the planet reach is involved, and that Humans, Covenant and Spartans are involved.

No, Bungie is taking a great series and making another game based on it. There's no "milking" involved. There's no doubt going to be new features involved so it's just another game. Since when is continuing a franchise "milking"? Is McDonalds or Wal-Mart milking their business? No, people love to eat McDonalds and shop at Wal-Mart. It's good business.

to sort of finalize, it isn't milking it until a sports game with the same title is released.

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 game based off of the fall of Reach which takes place before Halo 1.

And no, Reach is not the planet at the end of Halo 3.
And no, Masterchief does not time-travel back in time.

That is an excellent point. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a Halo Football game! .... okay just kidding, but it would be interesting.

Actually, that probably isn't all that far off, I can see Rooster Teeth hiring some developers to make a game dedicated to grifball.

Ha, if they do I want Hunters lead blocking for me and Brutes as blitzing Linebackers.
