Halo: Heretic or Hero---An Elite's Story
Choose your own destiny

Forged in the Flames of Passion, go forth and represent!

*Disclaimer* I love Halo and everything to do with it. This is NOT a bashing of Bungie, Halo or anything remotely related to it. This is simply my opinion.

---

On September 22nd, we got the long awaited ODST. Despite it being a decent sized game with some very good potential, it was not and probably will not be half as popular as the other games in the Halo trilogy. This, I think, is because most Halo players who are not really big fans of the series completely forgot about it after Halo 3.

They 'finished the fight', so I suppose that means they think Halo is finished. The majority of those players probably don't even know/CARE about Halo: Reach, just like many of them didn't care for ODST.

And then there is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Despite how much I love Halo and dislike CoD, I think ODST's population is going to diminish very quickly when it comes out, simply because it has become a huge franchise since Call of Duty 4. That is the 'new thing'. We all have to face it: Halo 3 is aging, and fast, while the Call of Duty series has added, what, two more games since Halo 3's release?

I am really hoping that Halo Reach will be the most amazing thing that's ever happened to the Halo series. I don't want it to be a short lived game whose population is swallowed whole by Call of Duty.

Do you think Reach will meet those expectations?

Discuss.

--Also, I am prepared to be flamed, even though I'm pretty sure I said nothing worth flaming...--

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

There have been so many threads on this, so I'll point out a few things:

Every time a new game that will "kill" Halo comes out, Halo is still on top, ODST helps that even more.

Halo will remain on top. With the combination of Halo 3 and Halo Reach, plus ODST, Halo will dominate. Halo isn't going anywhere.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

If the games does not meet everyone of my expectations I am gone.

I am gone forever as my expectations are simple.

Make the game feel like halo 1.

Have deep and meaningful story with excelent character background and voice acting.

Give me the pyschic I dreamed off . EX: Bunker that can be rocketed to pieces over time...

A level so big that you can drive a scarab and it supports 24 player online.

Balanced but not over balanced weapons...for instance...fuel rods are too weak along with mines and other weapons that got nerfed.

I am not hard to please really.

Just make me a game thats perfect is all I ask.

Halo 1 even though it had glitches and exploits WAS PERFECT.
(in its time period)


BTW Halo 1 is nearly a decade old ZOMG

Err...if that was to point out that you think I follow the stereotype that old games are bad, I don't. I love Halo: Combat Evolved. It is sorta like something in the Hall of Fame--no matter how old it is, it's still great.

Then again, if Halo was on steroids...

Call of Duty games have become like sports games that release every year with very little separating it from the previous ones.
