they already said its going to be FPS

it could be but we dont know. bungie has released barely any facts about halo: reach.

a game can be and rpg and fps. all fps is the way you see the world, from first person perspective. and rpg is a role playing game, games like mass effect and fallout 3 are rpgs. you could have and fps rpg like fallout 3 metioned above

My new B.net account is Grizzled Ancient. If you see him, its me.

I dont think it would be cool, theres not much to do if it was an RPG. think about it, u cant customize the armor, weapons, or vehicals... and the only missions u can do would be agaisnt the covenant and there are only a few recorded battles near that systmem. not exactly mass effect like

OPEN YOUR MINDS! They could do an RPG for Halo that would be an extremely awesome game. Think about alpha protocol, you can customize the way you play the game, just one of numerous ways to innovate in the genre. And they could probably get away with allowing armor customization, as well as many other things to customize. Just because the books gave a certain amount of information doesn't mean that's the extent of what can be. The new armor Halsey gave the Spartans in the mountain could be much more in depth than what was revealed. Although I do believe this is going to be a class based game, but they could have a class based rpg fps, you never know. And, they might even be exploring the MMOFPS genre, it hasn't been done on the 360, and Bungie does like to mix things up and create a status quo. There are tons of ways they could go with Reach.

Well, it WILL probably have Rocket-Propelled Grenades in it...

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

I don't see why people keep suggesting this. How the hell do you make a halo RPG?

never say never. FPS is a first person shooter, the first 3 halo games, and ODST. and MMOFPS is a massively multiplayer online FPS

  • 08.14.2009 8:32 PM PDT

Well i think the best would be FPS or maybe MMOFPS but MMORPG would be awesome toooo

How the hell do you make any RPG? Halo isn't the style of gameplay, it's the universe. Same thing for a class based game, close minded fools

I just don't see how it could work. You can't go around doing whatever, because you're busy following orders to the letter. Unless you play a civilian, in which case there is no point to it being in the Halo universe.

Well tell that to ensemble because besides Halo wars, they were also going to make a Halo MMORPG. =/

Following orders yes, but just like in the books, and in real life, decision making soldiers choose how to accomplish those orders. We could even change the squads setup. In the books John chooses his squads and commands each a different objective. As somebody pointed out to me, i dunno if its true though, bungie said the book canon doesn't exactly follow the game canon. I don't really like the idea of less continuity, but if he was right then it's well within the realm of possibility

When did they say this? Because that pretty much excludes Reach from being one, they wouldn't make two of the same thing differently

What I understand from this is, basically a linear style of level, but with many possible paths. By my definition, not an RPG. Oh, and Bungie said that the books ARE canon, with certain small elements being ignored (such as Johnson's immunity to the flood).

I doubt this, because I'm pretty sure Ensemble only makes strategy games.

I see, oh and I said i didn't hear that directly. still though, multiple paths can easily be changed into any path. the new operation flashpoint is and FPS, not even an RPG, but it's completely open world leaving you to do things however you want. Bungie blows the doors off the hinges when they try something new, i'm almost positive they'll do it again.

THANK YOU! Everybody is so blind and close minded and objected to change that they can't see the endless possibilities.
