What is Halo Reach and is it basically Halo 4? People say the gameplay will be like Halo 1 Combat Evolved but better graphics and stuff.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Halo Reach =/= Halo 4

Halo Reach = Halo Reach.

nobody knows anything.
reach is a prequel, people think it'll be like HCE because of it. but they're most likely wrong.

PREQUEL means BEFORE btw. so there NO connection with the H3 legendary ending.

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'M GONNA CUT YOUR NAME RIGHT INTO HIM!

I think Bungie wont release halo 4 untill microsoft release a new console

They have the same importance, but Halo: Reach is not (story wise) Halo 4.

  • 07.08.2009 7:35 AM PDT

Its the fourth game in the main series, so yes, it is Halo 4

  • 07.08.2009 7:41 AM PDT

It's the Fourth Halo. I think of it as Halo 4.

Don't blame me but I read a paragraph from a spoiler. It said the Elites were returning to their planet which has been over run by covenant survivors. You play as The Arbiter until you get to the end where Master Cheif is in is container unit (as seen on the beginning of Halo: CE and at the Legendary ending of Halo 3) guarded by a new Brute Cheiftain. After seeing the info from Bungie.net I don't believe it but it's a pretty good idea.

It's not halo 4.

Halo 2 was released with the 2 being the logo, as was halo 3. This is released as Halo: Reach, with a different stylization for the text. It's the 4th game in the halo series, it's like calling GTA:SA grand theft auto 5. It wasn't though.

However like GTA:SA Halo Reach is a part of the series, with a different story, and leaves the possibility of a halo 4 without diminishing it.

For you people who think yourselves the elite of the halo world (I know people in real life like this, so I'm typing as though to address them). Not saying any of you do but...


Years from now, in the event of a new Halo game being called Halo 4. How stupid will you feel since buying Halo: Reach and calling it Halo 4 when talking to your friends, on forums, on xbox live etc.

People who have no idea about the Halo lore have been posting false things like that since it was first announced. MSoft has confirmed it is a prequel so no, it does not expand upon John's story in anyway possible.

Its most certainly not Halo 4. Nor will there ever be a Halo 4. Read the back of your case "Conclusion to the trilogy"

If anything it'll go like this.

Halo 0.5 = Reach
Halo 1 = Combat Evolved
Halo 2
Halo 2.5 = ODST
Halo 3

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Halo Reach is no more "Halo 4" than Phantom Menace was Episode VII.

Multiplayer wise I think of it as Halo 4. It's a step back in story but hopefully a large step forward in Multiplayer. I didn't say it is Halo 4, I said I think of it as Halo 4, I will not be calling it Halo 4.

In a way don't you guys think it's more like Halo: -1? lol because it takes place while master chief is finding halo:1 .... Don't say i'm wrong! Ive read the book.

While blue team (space ops/john 117's team) goes on a mission, red team (ground ops/freds team (red teams master chief)) goes to defend the generators on the ground of REACH. It all begins when you are flying down on a pelican and it gets shot down so all of the spartans jump out.... 4-5 casualties (can't remember) but most of the spartans survive.... Red teams master chief (fred) leads the spartans to save the generators.... (skipping details) all the spartans die except fred and the girl spartan (can't remember her name).

While this is going on john-117 is being attacked and is forced to randomly go through splip space with (kind of) random cordanance provided by cortana which were left on a forrunner artifact. That leads masterchief to halo 1!!!!

Halo reach will be played without master chief...

I knew it was a a prequel, but I never thought about it before. On Halo 1, the HUD is much different. You had to collect health and the shields weren't as powerful. It's only in Halo 2 that the shields were upgraded, but if Halo Reach is before Halo 1, the shields have not yet been upgraded so we will have to go around picking up health-packs, right?

If so, I presume the multilayer gameplay will be VERY different to Halo 3, where as before I thought it would be similar but with a few tweaked features and different equipment (much like the introduction of the bubble shield for Halo 3), now I am thinking it will be a completely different experience.
