Most of the community already knows that. This thread isn't about what Reach IS, but what we think it should be. Nobody cares that it is an FPS, it doesn't change what Reach should and could be in our minds (and this thread).

Dudes got a point. We don't care that it's and FPS. Were talkin about what we wish it'd be. What we think it'd be cool to be.

Besides that, the Halo games were about the Chief. Were not saying an RPG about Halo has to have just the Chief. I see it as including the entire Halo universe. Players on both the Covenant side and Human side, rising through the ranks of both civilizations and becoming what they want in that universe.

I like the idea of having more stuff become available w/ time. Have everyone start out at a sort of beginning spot w/ AI running basicaly everything; controlling ships, leading squads of players through battles against the opposing forces like a tutorial. Then w/ time more of the Uni. gets unlocked and players gain power and influence over basicaly everything in the game.

It wouldn't be like a normal RPG, more like a hybrid. Allowing players to become what they want to be, rising through the ranks by their actual achievements online against other people in battles.

They did try, but they cancelled it, it's on Halopedia.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

1st off, RPGs are awesome, Final Fantasy, WoW, Fable, Oblivion, Even Marvel Ultimate Alliance are great RPG/ActionRPG games.

2nd off, Halo Wars is a fantastic game, it has a horrible PLOT but it's Gameplay is GREAT.

Fallout 3 is an FPS AND an RPG. They never said "Halo Reach will NOT be an RPG" But it is still very unlikely it will be.

RPG's own. Bungie should take the Halo Franchise to the RPG level. and own Mass Effect.

The real fans of Halo will love the RPG version just as much as the FPS version.

... Hopefully...

Putting aside the fact that I dont like RPG's, how would an RPG work in the Haloverse? If you think about it RPG are based on the idea of freedom and exploration. In Halo, whether your a human or a Covy, you are part of a military force bound by rules and regulations. You go where you are told to go and follow orders. There is no room for the freedom required to pull off an RPG.

If it were to happen it would have to be executed perefectly.
My view for how it would work is this;
Not an MMO, that would be hell.
It would begin with you creating your charecter, you, living in the slums of some colony world (chosen by the player). You would be conscripted into the UNSC on recruitment day as a marine. From here your training would begin, you would have to make choices, like going down being a pilot, or an engineer. Only the best of the best could become ODSTs. You would have to perform real feets of bravery in conflicts to be promoted. The game would be open world on a few planets with smaller 'combat zones' for certain missions.
I think it would only work out if it had a good snese of character development, like in Oblivion or Fallout 3, so you really feel like he/she has grown into a real Marine over the course of the game.
You would never become a Spartan.

1)It would begin with you creating your charecter, you, living in the slums of some colony world (chosen by the player). You would be conscripted into the UNSC on recruitment day as a marine.

2)From here your training would begin, you would have to make choices, like going down being a pilot, or an engineer. Only the best of the best could become ODSTs. You would have to perform real feets of bravery in conflicts to be promoted.

3)I think it would only work out if it had a good sense of character development, like in Oblivion or Fallout 3, so you really feel like he/she has grown into a real Marine over the course of the game.

4)You would never become a Spartan.


Kal has the idea man. Like I said in my earlier post, the game should be based on actual feats of "bravery" and such.

1)I was thinkin along the same things for a Halo RPG, but I'm not sure how they'd do the time progression. I mean living and entire life would be nuts, especially if the time progression was based on actual time. It would probably have to be more like Fallout. Except w/ more decisions that would change how you would develop as an Adult (like spore's carnivor/omnivore/veggy aspect).

2)Liked this idea too. Going through like Core training then having it progressively become specialized would be the way to go like you said. Maybe add in some kind of skills to make it feel more like and RPG ya know? For instance Computer use, perception, strength, stealh, and combat expertise. Each being developed based on what you want to be.

3)Character development would be a big thing for sure. No development and the game would be toast...

4)I can understand why you'd say no one could become a Spartan, but most of fans see Halo as Spartans kickin Covy butt. I think if the player was allowed to choose what time period they'd start out in, then Spartans would be okay to have. But like I said in #1 it'd probably have to depend on what decisions they chose as a child. If they did something that made them excell over others like the Spartans from the book had, then they'd be stolen away in the night and developed into Spartans like a normal player would be developed into a pilot or Marine through training. The Spartan path would just be more dangerous and tough for the player.
