It just simply isn't really a HALO game if it is on Reach. I mean, yes It has most the Halo cast, But The Halo ring and Flood is why It is called Halo in the first place. I can't explain stuf that well, so ask if you don't see what I mean.

yes, it is, But with this game most likely being about only the Human-Covenant War, It doesn't have anything to do with Halo

So, it's not a Halo game, unless it has a Halo Ring and the Flood?

I wanted a gumball so I said "Yo devil you got change for a soul?"Satan appeared and said "Yeah, yeah mosuckra! I got yo change right here just sign this contract and I'll give you your quarters!" So I signed it, lost my soul, and got 4 quarters. I have never regretted this decision.


I make coups, they are fun to make. Want me to make you one? Just ask I'll see what I can do.

Super Fail

Well ODST isn't on any Halo, but it's being called HALO: ODST... also, if you ever read the book, there is a Forerunner construct under Reach.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Not a big problem.

It's called Halo because it's set in the Halo universe, let's leave it that.

My honor student can beat up your honor student.

Because it is set in the Halo universe... and what the Hell would you name it otherwise?

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

Halo Wars has no Halo
Halo Landfall has no Halo
Halo Uprising has no Halo
Halo: The Cradle of Life has no Halo
Halo: Contact Harvest and Halo: The Cole Protocol don't even have any Forerunner installations at all

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.

Halo is a franchise. It maintains the name "Halo" because it is a franchise. Is "Gears of War" actually about Gears of Wars?

Saying this means that Halo 3: ODST isn't a Halo game either.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Guys don't you see he wants to start an argument so it'll be a hot topic like every argument thread on this forum!

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

That's like saying Halo 3: ODST shouldn't have Halo in the title because it's set in New Mombasa.

My old Bungie.net account was created February 6, 2008. Unfortunately, I had signed up using my brother's email account (we then shared an Xbox Live account which was linked to my old Bungie.net account), and he changed the password, meaning I couldn't log in. Thus is why I have this account.

It's a marketing strategy. If a kid is walking through Wal-Mart and sees "Halo: Reach" in huge letters, he is gonna buy that game because it is a Halo game. I think it should just be called "Reach", with "The prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved" or something on the bottom.

"Let me turret, you suck at it. Don't be sad we all know it."

How bout Halo is the name of the series? ODST doesn't take place on Halo, neither did Halo Wars. Why should the place effect the title? ("New Mombassa: ODST", "Harvest: Wars" don't sound cool)

well MC arrives at the halo ring right after the pillar of autmn escapes Reach. that and ODST doesn't take place on a halo ring but noone really complains there.

  • 08.30.2009 2:53 PM PDT

its called halo REACH for a reason. Its a halo game on reach. You still fight the covenant and everything. Halo 3 only had one level on halo.
