Subject: If you compare the Halo 3 Development Timeline to Halo Reach...

If you compare the Halo 3 Development Timeline to Halo Reach, both seem very simmilar. Both were announced about five seasons before their release date. Logically, Bungie might release information in slightly the same fashion.

So I went back into the News Archives and tried to find out about what date that Bungie started revealing critical things about the Halo 3 Multiplayer to get an idea of how long I would have to wait to learn more about Reach than just making random speculations and creating "I want this" threads.

...The first pictures of Halo 3 Multiplayer (albeit photoshopped up so very few details could be made out, just the general idea) occured well into November 2006, about six months after the announcement of Halo 3 at E3 2006.

...So if they are doing Reach like they are doing Halo 3, we got a while to wait. I don't see why they would speed up the process at all, since they also have ODST coming out and they don't want to detract from it. At least we get to learn tidbits about ODST. Would help if some jerk didn't go and spoil all the mythic maps for us...

I almost wish that Bungie would post vague comments and humpdays about the Halo Reach multiplayer (like they did with the Halo 3 multiplayer).

...Does anyone know of a glacier that I can freeze myself into until November? They are getting hard to find now a days due to global warming.

Actually, I heard Pluto is pretty cold. You could just go there for a while.

But in all seriousness, I agree with you. It's going to be a long fricking time before we even get a screenshot of H:R. Hell, WWIII may have started before then.

Yup. 6 months of arguing over whether or not Chief time travels. And if that one sillohette is an elite.

Joy.

...What the hell did the Halo 3 people do in 2006 to pass the time? I wasn't on the forums back then, only read the weekly updates.

Meh,

I'm happy with just speculating and I have ODST to cool me over until Reach comes out. A lot to play so doesn't bother me.

Happy Face

Sounds... great.

Could you provide some of the links from back then, to save me from spending a bunch of time digging through them. I want to see vague screenshots and descriptions of H3.

Debate over the Ark, the assault rifle, other Spartans, Elite alliance, different gauntlet, Cortana rampant, Gravemind speaking through Cortana.

Was actually slightly (by about 1% better than this, but that could be just because I HATE TIME TRAVEL THEORIES)

Very well. First Halo 3 Humpday. All of them are what we now know as Highground.
The 2nd Halo 3 humpday occured in November shortly before they revealed Vahalla, Highground and Snowbound. Ammusingly enough, they hinted towards all the names in the descriptions.

All the Halo 1 fans came back and made their case to Bungie not to rush the game. While the Halo 2 fans fought with the Halo 1 fans, and said they wanted the game "nao."

Nice find, yeah I cancertaintly imagine that the Reach forum is going to be continually bombarded with time travel and sillohette spam. However that's pretty much all we can base our wild assumptions on at this point.

I'm willing to bet that when Halo 3: ODST comes out, We'll get a trailer of Halo: Reach in the Extras menu.

That would be nice. I can't wait to have a look at Reach Multiplayer! I want to see what they have done to improve it from Halo 3.

Oh yeah, and all the people making theories about the campaign? They gotta wait till next E3 to even get a video of any bit of campaign. If they are lucky, they will get a picture of the protagonist standing next to a wall in a unrecognizeable location :)

Time Travel and Dragons and Pistol vs BR oh my!

What are you talking about? The first gameplay ever shown of Halo 3 was in the vidoc "Et tu, Brute?", which talked about how they were making the Brutes better for Halo 3 since they were now the main enemies in the CAMPAIGN! Campaign gameplay was shown first, then multiplayer.
