Subject: Does Halo need to not be Halo?

Is Halo losing creativity because Bungie needs to stick to the Halo Guidelines(story).
Because of this Bungie can't just make a new weapon, vehicle, race, story, scenery, e.g.
If Bungie dropped the Halo :'(, kept the same feel to Halo, quick intense fun gameplay, would a new Halo (different named game) be more fun and original.

not quite as good of an idea mr trugame... bungie sticks to its roots because that what the fans want i mean look at halo wars... anyone agree hw kinda sucked?

  • 09.15.2009 3:56 PM PDT

oh death was never enemy of ours

but it needs to be more like the original Halo because this is just before CE. the reason all the Halo's are Halo is because of the guidelines.

Halo Wars was not made by Bungie.

That's why they are not making a Halo after Reach. Also, Bungie only adds canon, because whatever they add is canon.

i liked halowars.

Im just saying that Bungie should take a risk and try something new. I know we all love Halo, countless hours of matchmaking. But eventually a series needs to come to an end. I dont want the franchise to ever become a game just made because of its prestigous name.

I wouldn't say halo wars sucks, (I still haven't beaten it...) I think it's just way too different from the first person shooter thing we're so used to. (personally, i like strategy games a lot, so halo wars is pretty good, in my opinion anyway.) And halo wars was not made by bungie, so that's probably part of the reason it's not as popular.

Back on topic, i don't know if that would be a very good idea...

Here's the real question. Why is it even called "Halo" at all since the story doesn't really focus on the Halo Rings (besides Halo:CE) as much as it does on The Flood, The Covenant, UNSC, The Forerunner, or our beloved Spartans? Shouldn't this whole series perhaps be called "Forerunner" or even "The Seed" since the Forerunner, which we know now as ancient humans, seeded earth? Or even "The Great Journey"?

hmmm....

...alas the name Halo brings to mind what we're all familiar with, so it cannot be changed, nor do we want it to change.

Besides I'm sure Bungie will create a new story, with a new name soon enough. It's not as if there is going to be a Halo 1,000,000.

Actually, it DOES focus on the halo rings... if you see the story line, all of halo CE is on a halo ring, halo 3 has the covenant trying to fire the halo rings. basically, it's all about the halo rings.

but, its got covenent in it, and they are trying to destroy the humans on their way to the rings

...oh I didn't say that it doesn't have the Rings in the storyline or in the games... that it does. What I'm saying is that there are so many other things the Halo story line focuses on much more. What about the shield worlds, or the Ark? These too, along with the Rings, are all creations of the Forerunner.

I mean not to go into a debate about this... it's just a simple observation.

Me too! I love the scene right before the last mission. When those three Spartans took on like 50 Elites... it was glorious! Oh, and a regular human (non-spartan) killing the then Arbiter in hand-to-hand combat!? Freakin' AWESOME!

Bungie can't make anything that isn't halo anymore.

I wish they would.

  • 09.15.2009 4:26 PM PDT

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

Yo dawg I heard you like Halo, so we took the Halo out of the Halo so you can play not Halo while you play Halo.

Now that that's out of the way, Bungie's announced that they're making a new game not set in the Halo series. What it is, how it plays, and what it's about has yet to be seen.

First of all, Halo Wars wasn't made by Bungie.

Secondly, Halo Wars is freaking awesome!

Halo wars was destin to fail just becasue it was an RTS. But it was made worse by the fact they could not follow the story line and made up some lame terrbile story.....

  • 09.15.2009 7:34 PM PDT

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Yeah I am looking forward for their not Halo based games. I really hope they will be FPS, if not that than atleast third person.

  • 09.15.2009 7:36 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Gameplay for HaloWars was superb. For a console RTS it did amazing well with controls, and nailing the Halo Feel. Most people "Hate" it because they've never played an RTS before, or because it was different from what they're used to. Now, There is plenty of better RTS's for computer, but HaloWars is as good as it gets for Consoles.

Also, Halowars did NOT screw up the canon of Halo in anyway. And I can prove it to anyone who thinks otherwise.



-on topic, No. Bungie is already developing a new IP, so they should keep Halo the way it has been, and send it out with a bang.

Gameplay was okay. It wasn'ta Command and Conquer or a Starcraft, but it worked.

It's the story that was a flaming pile of baboon sh.it covered in gasoline.

The story was given by Bungie.. the gameplay was not canon but the story itself was.

It isnt the best RTS out there but its pretty good for being on a console..
