Do you want to see things from Gears of War in Reach? Things like taking cover, actually Running, and other things. I think it would be a cool idea, what about you all?

Peace through superior firepower.

If you want to play something like Gears, play Gears? Halo is Halo. I play for the classic Halo feel I've known since I was a kid. Don't try to ruin Halo.

I just think that that style isn't very good. Halo is supposed to be a FPS. I'm assuming you like gears, and that's fine, but I think that Gears should be Gear and Halo is Halo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't want to run bent over. You are a Spartan. What is there to run from. This may sound like a russian reversal, but Spartans don't run from people, people run from Spartans!

Dang people I'm sorry I even asked. I mean if your just going to start a rant about how Gears sucks (Rocks) then shut the f*** up.

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.”

You really should expect that by asking this on a non-gears forum.

get out of here stalker

All I want is a tackle combo.
It'd be like vehicle jacking, but with infantry.

only in terms of blood (but not the gore) and certainly its graphical fidelity. oh and the way gears has humans look like actual (albeit 'roided) human beings instead of ugly ass life size dolls (especially keyes and johnson in h3).

seriously, halo 3 is the uncanny valley. halo 2 humans looked far more real. in gears they look real. halo 3? these "humans" give me nightmares.

What do you mean How So? Halo could never ever ever be the same if Halo turns into another GoW or CoD. Simple as that. If your're as used to Halo as us and know the controls and physics in Halo like the back of your hand, then you would definitely not want to change Halo. If you ask a pro they would look at you like you're crazy. No Offense to anyone tho =)

Resignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow.
Defeat is merely the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved...but you imposed.

Get out of these forums and go plauy more gears...

  • 09.11.2009 9:45 PM PDT

they are different games. don't ruin gears and halo by making them the same.

  • 09.11.2009 10:46 PM PDT

taking cover might be cool but i dont know how it would work in an FPS

what Im hoping for is a Halo game to end all Halo games (figure of speech, i hope for more Halo games in the future)
What I want is for Reach to have that distinctive Halo-ness in all its glory, all the fun, unique parts of Halo that make it stand above the others, I would be very unhappy if Bungie dropped their iconic style to add gameplay stolen from other successful games.

However..... I see no reason for them to lean towards similar traits with Halo's basic controls
for instance: "running" while not firing could be quicker than running while firing. or crouching and walking could have more stealthy animations to it.

I guess basically their shouldn't be any "run" button or anything else radically new, but little changes would be more than welcome.

he was merely asking if we thought that Reach would benefit from the addition of the running and crouching used successfully in another game, he wasn't asking for Master Chief wearing a bandana and holding a BR with a chainsaw strapped to it..... though the chainsaw on the BR would be kinda cool.

Yay! I'm a troll!

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

There's a reason why people play Gears, and people play Halo.

Merging them would not make everyone want to play the game.
More likely cause anger and make that game quite unpopular.

I like Pokemon, but that doesn't mean I want to play as Master Chief walking through some tall grass and all of a sudden a 'Wild Grunt' jumps out wanting to battle.
