I for sure would like a whole game on the covenant and what the thought process was with this war. We have 4 and soon to be 5 games on the humans only except some of halo 2 was about the covenant and that made halo 2 one of the better games.

Read Contact Harvest. Play Halo 2.

Yeah.

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

Yes i would, one because i am intreasted in that side of the story. Two because i want bungie to keep making Halo games.

:p

I'd really like to have a game from the point of view of a Special Forces Elite, but actually be able to fight humans rather than just Heretics and the Flood. Maybe set either shortly before the fall of Reach, or better yet, on the original Halo, as a parallel to the Chief's storyline.

the only reason a fully covie story might not work is 'cause there are only so many of us humans, and so far in all of the games you play it on heroic even, and it takes a hell of a lot of effort to keep the buggers alive. it often ends up as the chief vs the whole covenent, which wouldn't make much of a story, sure, versing a spartan might be fun for a boss fight, but apart from halo wars, there is never that many humans to kill/fight
maybe in the end it could be a story about the civil war, brutes vs elites, and you can play both stories sepperately, like yu get a choice at the start, and you have to finish the brute/elite campaign before you can do the other, and they both have bits that match, but the caracters never meet face to face.

There's a solution for that. I play on Easy with my nephew, because it's too hard for him on anything else, and the Marines are tough bastards (albeit stupid) on that difficulty setting, whereas the enemies are pretty easily dealt with.

Just reverse it, so that the Marines are uber tough and intelligent on Legendary, and your allies are pansies. Or make the majority of your allies be Grunts, even the dopey Halo 3 Marines could take on a Grunt one-on-one. Usually.

On Easy, leave them intelligent but take away their toughness.

Reach is there last game but Frank O'Connor has been appointed as creative director for 343 Industries, a new division that will oversee all Halo products. so pretty much same company but different company at the same time. link

Play Halo 2

  • 10.16.2009 10:00 AM PDT

It's called Halo 2, it came out in 2004....

  • 10.16.2009 10:18 AM PDT

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

Eh, sorry...voted to no because I thought that you ment that you wanted Halo reach to be that game. If you want a game completely with the covenant, that's not reach, I can agree.

  • 10.16.2009 10:23 AM PDT

Bacon

Well I voted yes. Halo 2 when playing as the arbiter is quite similar..But there's no marine slaughter!..Only Heretics and flood..

I'm hoping Bungie doesn't pull a switch on Reach. All I want in that game is to be nothing but Spartans killing lots of Covenant

  • 10.16.2009 10:31 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

I'd like to play as an Elite when they were Betrayed by the Brutes. Not like in the level Uprising, but playing as one of those Elites, surviving, fighting Tartarus, and going all the way through Halo 3.

  • 10.16.2009 10:37 AM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

I'd like a game solely about the Covenant. But if we played as anything but an Elite I'd pass it up.

  • 10.16.2009 11:16 AM PDT

voted to no because Halo reach is where the spartans all got aik and only spartans 117 made it out alive,i want to see what happen to reach, and how all unsc lost reach,and how he war started. and If you want a game completely with the covenant, that's not reach, I can agree with that because the covenant did not have the civil war so the war is going to be covenant and hunman war.so i realy dont want to be a covenant at all in halo rach.

  • 10.16.2009 11:30 AM PDT

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

about has a t in it.

yeah the side story in halo two was really good except way too many people were like WTF about it.

Halo 2 was a fun game with the covenant story but it wasn't enough.

Halo 2 was only partially about the Covenant's side of the story, and even then it concentrated primarily on the Arbiter. What I want to see is a WHOLE game dedicated to telling the Covenant's story, not part of one.

And Fusionstudent wasn't talking about Reach being that game, but another game entirely. Like I mentioned earlier, SpecOps Elite with a story running parallel to the Chief's on the first Halo would be cool.

Start off on board a Covie cruiser as the first mission (training mission), boarding the Autumn, hunting down stranded Marines, et cetera and so forth.

Read Contact Harvest. Play Halo 2.

Yeah.

I finished Contact Harvest last week! great book, I felt Halo 2's covenant storyline was just to short and blatant. I would really like to see an expansion of Reach like ODST was Halo 3. Bungie did a fantastic job on ODSTs art, music, and voice acting. Also we don't know for sure if Reach will have a covenant story mixed in, so lets wait and see.

  • 10.16.2009 7:10 PM PDT

I can't get enough of the Elites and how they do things in the games. I would enjoy seeing a game about the Elites after Halo 3 and their campaign against the Brutes. As long as it also has the Arbiter and Rtas 'Vodumee in it. Those two have some good scenes.

We have 4 and soon to be 5 games.


halo:ce
halo 2
halo3
halo wars
halo:odst
soon to be halo:Reach

ill do my calculations
halo:ce x y = 1
halo 2 x w = 3
halo 3 x w = 3
halo wars x c = -1
halo: odst x w =-1
halo reach x y =0
- y x w_acute+right,>14689 . > 1456-

3+3-1-1=yxf=5,

damm thats really complicated, but acording to my calculations weve had 5 games and soon to be 6.

you seem to be wrong
