Halo 3 and Reach are two separate games. The gameplay should be wildly different. The 'it's not halo' argument should only ever apply to the accuracy of the campaign, not if the BR is in multiplayer or not. In my opinion, the whole thing should be redone, from the engine to the weapons to the vehicles.

Discuss.

I think Halo Reach will be different from Halo 3 to a degree. But you have to realize when you've got a successful formula you gotta stick to it. Yes, you can make some changes but if you keep changing things it will get to the point where Halo isn't Halo anymore.

Halo will always be Halo because of the story, not the game play. Halo Wars is still Halo. I agree that it should be a completely new experience. As far as I'm concerned Halo went downhill with a lot of the changes from CE to 2 and 2 to 3, I think it's time they try something new.

If you have a winning formula you should stick to it for a certain amount of time. After 3 games it starts to get old.

i agree all i hear in these things are.. "doesnt sound like halo".. People have to realize that halo is starting to change and i think the changes will make it better.. My friends thought that this halo reach should have a slight fallout 3 type gameplay in it.. like customizing your character, and being able to free roam and have side quests while enjoying the main storyline. Stuff that will make the game longer and more adaptable.

Exactly, we've had enough of the formula, hence the reason it was to be kept to a trilogy.

  • 07.20.2009 5:16 PM PDT

Yep. Halo Reach can be wildly different for all I care. The main trilogy does feel completed, so they're not obligated to make it so similar.

That being said, it still has to feel like Halo. Banjo nuts and Bolts is a good example. It feels very much the same, but has unique gameplay.

Signatures are for squares.

It's an FPS, it's Halo, It's Bungie, it's a winning combo.


If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Let there be CHAOS!

The last time people begged for change we got Obama as president. I'm thinking Bungie should stick with the current formula... Ya know, just to play it safe.

Multiplayer Gameplay
Halo:CE------------------Reach--------Halo2-----------------H alo3
Campaign Experience
Reach----Halo:CE-----------------ODST-----Halo2---------Halo3

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

Many people don't even consider Halo 3 as Halo anymore. I, for one, don't call Halo 3 'Halo'; I call it 'Halo 3' because it is a much different game from what it used to be.

And, it's ok to be afraid if you know by removing certain aspects of the game would ruin the experience. It's not really about it not being Halo anymore; it is about the game being dumbed down to the point where it isn't fun and repetitive and extremely unbalanced.

This is retarded logic, if we followed this, we'd all be playing pacman in HD.

Obama's the best thing that's happened to America since, well since its been America. The trilogy is complete, case closed, for them to keep doing the same thing would be milking it more than to just keep creating new experiences. -blam!- pansies afraid of something new. And if someone wants a different experience but more of the same story, playing a different game doesn't really work

ya and it sucked and would have been a 100000000000000000x better if it was like the old games

not at all.
People just aren't willing to accept change.

Nuts and bolts is better than a traditional sequel would have been.
