Subject: "Do you think we'll ever meet them?"

The Forum Ninjas are asleep.

Remember that old trailer?
Remember the excitement that some of the Cheif's story would finally be reavealed in game?

What if we finally see this in Reach?
What if Bungie was hinting at something beyond Halo 3?
What if we finally live through the Cheif's initial training?

Could THIS be what we have to look forward to?


"I hope so... Don't you?"


I am referring only to the first scene.

Instead of dealing with Halo: Fall of Reach, I would rather it deal with the fall of Reach... which occured in First Strike.

The fall of reach took place in the first book.
Thats when all the military personel who could, abandoned reach.

FoR deals with the first 15 minutes of the Space battle. The planet doesn't fall until the generators are lost, and then that's when the UNSC retreats. The generators fall in First Strike.

0647 -- the PoA leaves (end of TFoR)
0720 -- the orbital defence facility is overrun, and Reach falls (beginning of FS)

why are we arguing about WHEN reach falls exactly?

point is the game will most likely go over the ENTIRE fall of reach so most likely elements of both will be present.

Agreed?

Agreed. It just annoys me when people say REACH will be based on The Fall of Reach... when at most, there could only be one mission (and the first cinematic) may be taken from TFoR, and that mission (Gamma station) shouldn't be in, jumping from character-to-character makes for poor story evolution.

one mission unless they take some pre-fall items from it as well.

such as the rebellion leader mission

The game isn't going to be about the whole entire book. Otherwise it would be Halo: The Fall of Reach. Also just to read the book takes atleast an entire day(if you're a really fast reader). The game would be even longer since you actually play the battles. The whole first half of the book has no combat. It would be a movie more than anything, it would be a fail on Bungie's behalf. Nobody wants to play as a 6 year old on a training ground they want to play as a spartans protecting Reach and fighting the Covenant. It's not about the book.

That would mean the gameplay wouldn't be consistent at all. Sometimes you have no armor, sometimes you have no shields, sometimes you have armor, sometimes you have squadmates, etc.

those are badass six yer olds dude.

but anyway were not discussing those kinds of training.

pay attention please

it wouldnt be inconsistent but evolutionary.

no protection +team
protection+team+tougher enemies
protection + tougher enemies

it would get progresively harder

It would be like putting together Halo 3 ODST, SWAT, and then Halo 1/2/3 into a single campaign. That would get too confusing. For most people. Too much change, not enough solidarity.

that much is true. plus the multiplayer would then be a bit questionable

Hmmm I dont think they will put in quite as many changes as there was in the books but i could see them putting some of them in there. Making you adapt to the different situations. Bungie's done a little of that before like in the first level of Halo----
"Your goal is to meet up with Sgt. Johnson"
"Wait. a transmission came in, his pelican crashed. Find the pelican."
"Rescue Johnson."
------so would it treally be that much of a change? Sorry if the details in my example weren't perfect! ^_^

that is true and i was thinking the same thing.

it all depends on how difficult bungie wants to make it.

  • 06.16.2009 6:30 PM PDT

Whats up with Spartans calling Elites Dinosaurs? I mean Spartans are the ones almost extinct! XD

You know, I think thats Kelly who says that, I think she has blonde hair like in the trailer of her as a younger version. Though the trailer could be misleading but c'mon, its Bungie :d. It would be cool if during the campaign there would be flashbacks of Master Chiefs life or any other Spartans life in Reach.

Kelly had dark blue hair when she was captured, and when it re-grew it was brown (like the girl's in the trailer). We're not sure if they shaved their heads before they underwent augmentations...

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Yup. I guess thats what the X button will be for on this game. Curb stomping.
