Subject: Is Halo: Reach going to be THAT game?

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.

ODST has renewed my faith that Bungie can come out with a truly great Halo Game. Their second disappointed many, and Halo 3 had me down thinking "Wow, this game kinda sucks."

ODST brought me back to Halo CE. It was great, tactical, and fun. Hopefully Reach captures me again. I want to finally experience Halo perfected.

Will it? I do not know. But one can hope.

Is Halo: Reach being made on a new engine or whatever made Halo 3 look so different from Halo 2? Could you imagine a jump that big in aesthetics? Halo 3 still looks gorgeous. ODST looks better, debatably about 5-10%* better than Halo 3. 15-20%* better than that would be amazing.

*all ridiculously conceived, arbitrary percentages.

I think that Reach will link to the Halo 3 multiplayer some how, perhaps it will be similar and players with linked accounts can carry over their armor and stats.
Halo 3 matchmaking is so near perfect.

Maybe. I'm worried about Halo 3's MM though, I don't want reach to kill it.

Well Reach is supposed to be built off a new, different engine than Halo 3 and ODST...so we will see better graphics and hopefully much better improvements with eliminating lag and making the game awesome!

Halo3's following is caused by it being the current title, nothing more. Halo CE still offers the best gameplay and balance, but it's lack of MM and the fact that it is dated keep people from coming back to it in large droves. Halo2 set the online MP standard, but dumbed down gameplay, flattening the learning curve and broadening the appeal, updated physics and a new coat of paint didn't hurt either.

People will stick with the "newer" title because the general belief is that the current offering is stronger than the previous ones. Look at all of the ipod drones there are. You cannot really tell me that there are leaps and bounds of improvements made when you update models every year!

Unless Reach is such a departure from formula that it pisses off the general fan base, it will overshadow Halo3.
I bolded the weak point, ODST is the current title, but it is dwarfed by Halo 3 because ODST is a good title, but the multiplayer is lacking even though the campaign plays amazingly.


The weak point you bolded is irrelevant, ODST is not the current MM title as it offers no matchmaking. Sorry for not making myself clear on that. ODST is great, but it is not a major title release, it's an expansion. If they did give ODST MM I'm not so sure it would take top spot though. As much as I love it, I personally feel that too many in Halo3 MM are too accustomed to the simplicity offered by the BR, and would get too frustrated with the sharper learning curve of ODST.


Someone said ODST is the current title. That has to be embarrassing. ODST is H3 with the addition of a new campain and figherfight. Not a new game just an expansion.


MW2 is MW with the addtion of a new campaign, new guns and perks.

Bungie had better make Halo go out with one hell of a BANG!
