Subject: bungie had better step up its game

bungie, i have seen most of the new games that are coming out and they seem a lot more fun and cool than halo. for years halo has been recognized as an awesome game but with all these new games coming out, i fear that halo wont dominate anymore. i have been a fan of halo for about 7 years and i really dont want to see it fall. i think that you guys should make halo reach the game that sets the standards for all. improve the graphics, make it more realistic, the players should feel as if they were actually in the war. make AI's which take cover and are actually useful. have cool moments where you are having hand to hand combat with elites or brutes where you have to press the buttons correctly to win. have moments where a huge explosion knocks you off your feet and your head is spinning and your hearing becomes muffled. anything that would make it realistic and awesome to play. im not saying that i dont like halo heck, i LOVE halo and i dont want to see it fall so please bungie get out there and kick some ass!!!

Welcome to...Call of Duty 4? Everything you said happens in COD 4. The realism, AIs actually take cover, hand to hand combat (attack dogs), explosions (in the ship and the fuel truck) that knock you on your back, any nearby explosion makes your vision blur and hearing ring. Keep wishing because Halo: Reach will NOT become a Call of Duty.

Hmm seeing how Halo3 is what? 2 years old and it is still topping the Xbox Live charts?

Also didn't you see the end of the credits?

It said they would be kicking ass in the years to come, and they will deliver.

Also most of your ideas (IMO) suck, quicktime events-esque things suck(IE: you press a button close quarters combat idea you have)

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Halo 3 was Bungie's first game on the 360. Reach will be it's second.

It can only get better my friend.

This is an incredible step forward to being able to cure Downss sybndonre mn humans bineg.s

Eh, you're serious about having quicktime events?

Reach's development period gives them plenty of time to build a whole new engine, so hopefully Bungie does what they always do and goes all out.

  • 08.15.2009 8:56 PM PDT

ok fine maybe those ideas are too much call of duty but what im trying to say is judging by all the new games coming out, im not sure if many people would still play halo instead of flocking to other games so i just want halo reach to be the best and continue to hold up the awesome game of halo

I'm sure Reach will be great. This is Bungie we're talking about, they don't do things by half-measures.

So, effectively, you are telling Halo to die in a hole and conform?

  • 08.15.2009 9:46 PM PDT

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Yeah because Halo 3 hasn't been at the top 3 multi-player games played since it came out right? Most of the time at the top spot.

(that was sarcasm for those of you who can't catch on)

Oh yeah, good idea, one of those stupid quicktime events to decide whether you win or lose. Yeah, that sounds like Halo. Or it doesn't. I'm pretty sure it's the second one.

Remember the differences between Halo CE and Halo 2? Now recall that both of those games were on the same console.

Reach will be a drastic difference from Halo 3, I am sure of it. Bungie works hard to ensure the quality of their games, and they will make sure that the technology and content are up to snuff with the time period.

But hell, I still take Halo 3 over pretty much any other game on LIVE these days. Forget about COD.

And some of your ideas, OP, wouldn't work with Halo. Quick time events in Halo? Please.

[Edited on 08.15.2009 10:26 PM PDT]

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

LOL quick time events................. seriously? Really? are you sure thats what you want??
they've already turned halo anime to please the Asian population. Do you really want them to make it more Asian by introducing quicktime events?

And quicktime events are a very PS3 type of thing, just about all PS3 games have a quicktime event.

MAKE Halo like the books make halo, MAKE Halo like Combat Evolved, MAKE HALO REACH AWESOME!!!

  • 08.15.2009 10:53 PM PDT

Irony makes the strongest men fall to their knees!

Sad, just sad. You want realism in a game that takes place 500+ years in the future, the game looks as real as it needs to get, they have been building the Halo 3 engine for more than 10 years. The AI in halo are some of the best AI around, and you know why? Because Bungie knew how to make the AI respond correctly in combat, first person shooters don't need any more mini games for stupid things. When you're encased in one ton armor you need a lot of power to knock you off your feet.

Understand this game is Science Fiction, none of this has or ever will happen, probably shouldn't say that because everything that Bungie uses in all Halo games are not physically impossible.

Ugh... I hope they never do this.
As for the realism argument, realism is cool in games that were made to be realistic.
All I want to see is more variety in the levels and enemies. I'm getting bored of Grunts and Jackals. I want to fight Elites again!

I must say every time I encounter a quick time event in a game I focus more on what buttons to press than what my character is doing, witch ends up being distracting from the game. to me during a quick time event the screen might as well be black and only the buttons appear. I only notice what happens after im done pushing buttons.

In short Quick time = Distrackting from gameplay

You know, you guys really surprise me. This guy, he obviously thinks Halo is a fantastic game, and he is undoubtfully worried that other companies will block Bungie's road to World Domination. And then all of you come here, start flaming him, and accusing him of wanting Halo to be a Call of Duty 4?

Wow.

As for me, I think Reach is going to be the finish line for Halo. And a damn good one.

If you've been a fan for 7 years then you should know that putting your faith in Bungie to make an awesome game is enough to get one. When have they let you down?
