Subject: Reach, big game, or a knockoff?

Okay, so we all know, Halo 1 was good, good multiplayer, good campaign, it didint have online unless you had it for the computer.

Halo 2, I good game. Great campaign, multiplayer on live. Although, it good have been better, it was a little incomplete.

Halo 3, best of them all. Great campaign, but halo 2s was better. (in my opinion) You edit the levles, make your own game types, more things to play on matchmaking, better graphics and more ways to customize your character,

ODST. Ehmmm... okay game... most of the sells might have been because of the free 3 new maps, and easy getting recon. Although, firefight, just a knockoff of Horde mode. Okay at time to time. But it wasn't the best game. ODST wasn't ment to be a big game like Halo 3 was.

So, my point. Do you think Reach is going to be awesome/big like Halo 3. Or just another ODST?

I should smack you for saying Firefight is a ripoff of Horde.

EVERYONE should smack you.

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.

CE and 2>3

ODST and Halo Wars are what you call "Spinoffs" They exist in every big game series and are not meant to be considered a linear part of the series' games. REACH is going to be a full on Halo Game, NOT a Spinoff.

totally new multiplayer so probably big

  • 10.18.2009 5:09 PM PDT

J-H

I think it will atleast be AS big as Halo 3, if not bigger. It really depends on how much money Micro$oft puts into advertising...The game has been in production for 2 years so far and a playable build of the multiplayer is already "finished"... Bungie have another year, atleast, to get this game perfect so, as i said, it's all down to how deep Micro$oft goes into it's pocket for advertising.

true there are soooo many survival games out there y does every1 think horde is the first one?? Bungie made Marathon like 4000 years ago and it had a survival mode

  • 10.18.2009 5:11 PM PDT

I think Halo 1 had the best campaign out of all of them and Halo 3 had best multiplayer, but its campaign was sucky and short.

I think Bungie will be going all out with this one considering they have had 3 years to work on it. They won't disappoint with their last game (possibly).

facts:
-ODST was in development for around a year.
-Reach, when released in Fall of 2010 (that is the believed date) will have been in production for around 3 years, which is approximitely time spent on the previous Halo games (excluding ODST.)
-ODST has a subtitle within its title from another game (Halo 3: ODST) giving it the appearance of an expansion which it sorta acted as
-Reach has its own unique name from the trilogy. Only connected by the Halo part of the title.
-ODST takes place right before Halo 3, and after Halo 2 in a city
-Reach is before Halo CE, in a period only developed by books, leaving room for stories on an entire planet.

Thought
-ODST was supposed to act as a way to keep the Halo fans pre occupied during their long wait for Reach. Sort of like an expansion pack, but at full price of a game.
-Reach is going to be a big game that Bungie will put more than they ever have before with AAA engine technology taking graphics farther than they have before and multiplayer to beat the already x box live chart topping multiplayer they have had since 2007. Reach is their last Halo game, after all. Then its moving to another company. They wanna leave it with a bang!

There is my input

I think Halo 1 had the best campaign out of all of them

Like I said, my opinion.

  • 10.18.2009 5:18 PM PDT

Well apparently the team has grown a lot since Halo 3, so I can see both Campaign and Multiplayer being great. There's a reason they chose Reach, because it's one of the most important parts of the human-covenant war. They can't just let it slide by as another ''ok'' campaign.

I believe the issues with him saying firefight ripoff have been already stated. Lets move on :)
and btw, i do think Firefight is SO FAR from a rip off. O *blam*, forgot my own advice!

yea and Battle of Onyx was a large scale war and they are leaving it with no visuals of the war

  • 10.18.2009 5:31 PM PDT

I wish they would allow signatures at the end of someones post... Would be fun.

Well. ODST [i]was[i] just an expansion to Halo 3. Maybe the reason it wasn't as exciting is the fact that the graphics weren't really anything new. It still was fun though.

And for now the only thing we know about the game is that it will be about the Fall of Reach book.

But as of the moment I am going to say that Reach will be a kick ass game. New graphics, weapons, enemies, vehicles, customization Reach has to offer. I mean has Bungie ever let us down? I say NO!

Kid's these days. Gameplay>Graphics.

Peace through superior firepower.

Halo: Reach will be awesome. Halo: CE was the best to date. I play Custom Edition, and I'm a level designer for custom campaigns.

Anyone who thought ODST's campaign was worse than Halo 3's is, In my opinion, delusional.

If it takes narrative elements from Halo 2 and ODST, with the focused setting of Halo CE and ODST, and the amazing dialogue of ODST (Joe Staten!), with the things that made good setpieces in all the games, Reach would be good.

  • 10.18.2009 10:04 PM PDT

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

I assume it will be the next real Halo. So yes a big game, i think it will change Halo allot.

Were it so easy.

I've been thinking this too, and I hope its not a spinoff like ODST, but rather a full on major Halo game.

And honestly, I liked Halo 3's campagin better than ODST's, not because ODST's was bad, but because Halo 3's just seemed way more...epic.

Most kills in the world with the Storm rifle in halo 4, the Plasma Repeater in halo reach, and the Plasma rifle in halo 3.
check out my youtube channel

i hope its good other wise we wont have a decent halo game to play for a while

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”
