Subject: Halo Reach is maybe an MMOFPS?

I wonder that there was no Topic that Halo Reach could an MMOG when I used the search for the Reach forum. For a year or so there were a myth that bungie will work on a new Halo game AND that they will bring an MMOG out. It was anyway a myth but Halo Reach multiplayer Demo -> maybe is an invite for an MMO beta ;-) MAYBE

ATM all we know is that Reach will be an FPS!

I think the Reach story is perfectly suited for an MMOG ... It was one of the biggest battles between humans and the covenant also at this time there were a lot of Spartans still alive!
There are enough of MMORPG's like WoW which have all the same tired gameplay -.- After I seemed the artworks of the canceled Halo MMORPG from Ensemble Studios the fear came through me. OMG they wanted to turn Halo in one of these endless MMORPG's!!! Thanks that this project was stopped (There enough of this games and Halo fits to 0% to this type of game). Reach would be an FPS so it can not become one off this click and forgett MMO's!!!

It will be an another FPS ok I love shooters so ok but:

Halo 1 -> A very good game with a good and long Story also many multiplayer maps and game options.

Halo 2 -> The game got a lot faster (no hp, faster shield rege and dual wielding) also the story was realy interressting (Attack on Earth + arbiter story) and the multiplayer over live was very refreshing.

Halo 3 -> Most focus on online multiplayer (Good maps, gametypes and online Coop) The Story "finished the fight" but was a bit thin :-/

Halo 3 ODST -> Focus on a new interressting Story (That came a bit too short in Halo 3). For the multiplayer fun there will be the Complete Halo online expirience AND fire fight!

Halo Reach -> OK I know the story was good and EPIC but again a normal FPS?! It has to be something special maybe an MMOG or maby an Rac... no this will never happen ^^ or SOMETHING else ???

Bungie wanted to spread confusion over all Halo fans and the information greedy gamers ^^ and they achieved their goal :P

So that was all! If you want to discuss about the possibillity of an halo MMOFPS or to post your Ideas that would fit in a Halo MMOG use the rest of this Topic and fill it with your Imagination!

PS: Im german so please forgive me for my crappy english :-/

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.

I prefer quality over quantity.

Yeah small fighting gives you a sense of purpose, much more enjoyable.

BTW: Your English is fine, better than other forum users who speak only English.

Did anyone here see the MAG footage for PS3? That game has 256 players, and there are still skirmishes and Large scale fights.

Break 256 players into squads of 8, and you get a seamless feel of skirmishes, large battles, and a sense of purpose on a map of proper size.

You could also fit a campaign in, I'm sure bungie could do it.

that's the theory anyway.....i hope it does...

and while mmofps look fun...it wouldn't be halo. hopefully just an epicly long single-player.

It all depends on where you draw the line on MMO and just alot of Players.

The thing with an MMO FPS is that there has to be some sort of grouping element or it will be somewhat like a free for all.

In an MMO FPS, the graphics have to be toned down horribly, if this is true, don't expect much better than ODST in multiplayer graphic-wise.

I'd have an amazing frame rate, decent ODST graphics and colors, and amazing MMOFPS gameplay with a beautiful campaign rather than amazing graphics, a half assed campaign, and decent same old multiplayer.

Whatever Bungie does, I'm positive it will be awesome, and it will retain the Halo feel.

It won't be an MMO. Sure, the only thing that they confirmed is that it will be a FPS, but by mentioning "MMO" in the question, they pretty much confirmed that it would not be.

First rule of concealing information: Never bring up the thing you are trying to conceal.

It would be like as if you were to kill a man with a knife and hide it buried under a trash can in the back yard, and then you came back to the scene of the crime while the police were investigating and said "Well, the murderer probably isn't stupid enough to bury the murder weapon in the backyard, especially under a garbage can, so you folks should try searching the surrounding neighborhood instead, he probably threw it off a bridge or something."

NO! You would say nothing! If Reach was indeed an MMO, Bungie wouldn't have used it in the same sentence as "And other ridiculous stuff that I should believe."

i thought half of my ideas were decent in this post and even though i think my ideas would be good for a new halo game they could impliment some of them if they wanted to make Reach a hybrid fps mmo

My band and artist networking/information site. Check it out!

I personally think a MMOFPS for Halo would be amazing.

You talked about needing some kind of grouping...Hello! Clans! or some sort of guild option, having the option to play as the covenant or the Humans.
