When i heard that another Halo was coming out I was as excited as anybody else, then i actually took the time to think about a few things.

1. Are we all really gonna spend 60 dollars on something that's probably gonna be the exact same game play as Halo 1&2, but with diffrent charachters and a diffrent setting.

2. I know it's a new story and all based on events in which we already know the outcome of, but I feel like this is the last great story that remains untold outside of book version in the Halo Universe, and i was really hoping that this movie was going to happen. I dont know about you guys but after watching this trailer for the fifth time in a row i realized how awesome of a movie this trailer could become. I then remembered that the Halo Movie film was supposed to be based on the fall of Reach. I feel like the release of this game will solidify this state of preproduction limbo that the movie is currently in. And even if it finally does make it to the big screen what the hell kind off story will be watching. I do not want this to feel like Halo Wars where all the meat was taken in previous works and the writers were scraping through the bones to try to pull together a story, which in my opinion did not tie together well.

3. If this game does succed what will become of the Halo Universe? I love Bungie. Nobody knows how to make a great game like bungie does. If Halo Universe follows the footsteps of Halo 1 & 2 are they gonna decideto continue milking this series? Next thing you know we will be playing games from the covenent's point of view or Forerunner vs. Flood game. As much as i love the Halo Series I do not want to be playing expansions and add-ons for the rest of my life. In my opinion the Bungie crew have some of the most amazing crew and writers on staff. I still get goosbumps when replaying Halo 1 and Cortona reveals to master chief the true nature of the Halos. If that focus could directed on something new and exciting then Bungie could once again completely rock the gaming world.

But Yeah that's all i got really. Im not trying to bash this game in any way. I am truly as excited as the next guy and will probably be camping out at gaming stores on the release date in 2010 just like i have for previous Halos. But yeah i hope they finde a place to draw the line before we are all buying the same thing over and over, just with a diffrent cover and in a diffrent color.

Tell me what you guys think.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I think you should wait for them to give out more information on the game before judging it. use your head.

Come and check us out!

I'm sure Bungie will make it a little diffrent. A lot of people think it's going to be a squad-based game. Either I'll be happy what ever decision they will make. :)

Judging a game with knowing absolutely nothing about it is a bad choice.

Excellent argument.

  • 06.15.2009 12:30 AM PDT

if there is a game out there with the word "halo" on it..I'm buying a copy. And so are all of you.

I tried to smoke some hash, but the corned beef wouldn't light!

It is really too soon to say: "I am disappointment."
We don't know anything, except for the teaser and it's speculations.

Yeah why make sequels or prequel.
Gears of War, Gears of War 2, COD1 2 3 4 MW WAW, loads of Mario games, Metroid games, Rainbow Six, ect ect.
Why make them?

  • 06.15.2009 1:06 AM PDT

how do you know it's exactly the same gameplay as halo 1 and 2?
nothing has been announced but it's an fps they are making a new engine for i highly doubt they will just be making it the same gameplay

i would much rather have a new halo game then a halo movie anyday and i'm not really sure why you've started talking about the movie but halo is a game before a movie and should stay a game a film imo would disapoint it could never be as good as it needs to be to keep up with halo games and films don't have multiplayer that you will play for years and years to come

and point 3
sounds awesome
except from expansions and add ons where did that come from?
odst is an expansion yes but reach is a whole new game they are still making new games so i don't know where you get that idea from
forerunner vs flood would be great it would be amazing to learn more about that story i love the halo universe and would love to know more about forerunners and the flood

all i seem to get from this is
i don't want a sequal yet i want more halo
which just makes no sense

I say wait for more trailers/ information about the game to come out. then make a choice. But for all our sakes lets hope they dont make a mess out of the reach timline. because "halo: the fall of reach" was one of the best books.

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

hey man i understand your concerns.. but..the halo universe is a whole universe that bungie can add to all they like.. it's not like a world war two game or modern warfare..

we know how WW2 ended..

there are several modern warfare games.. ghost recon cod americas army...(all are boreing in my opnion)

and how many world war two games do we need? yeah it was the latest full scale war...but im sure people would rather look to the future or into other worlds.. then the past over and over again.

I see you're getting the usual pissed off fanboy remarks because the second they saw the title they started posting instead of reading and realizing you're a concerned fan.

I share the same concerns and if what I believe is going to happen does then there is really no need to worry.

By looking at the way ODST plays I think it's ok to assume that Reach may be a squad/class based halo 1 type game.

I'm hoping bungie makes this one very gritty I mean this is something entirely different done in the video games. This isn't Halo 1,2, or 3 where Master Chief wins and Earth is saved this is where an entire planet and most of it's people die, the emotion of the game needs to reflect that.

  • 06.15.2009 5:19 AM PDT

heh
we don't know anything about reach yet.
wait for details...
