i think the campaign should be MUCH longer than odst or h3 was. what about downloadable add-ons like in fallout 3?

I'm in the mood for a longer campaign than Halo 3's and ODST's. I kind of guessed ODST's campaign was going to be short but Halo 3 really dissapointed me.

I don't really give a ---- about the campaign, everyone is gonna play it once and go to MM, so I want them to focus on MM/Forge A LOT more.

Okay, I'm back on this thread to make my point.

Campaign sets the stage for MM and forge. It's the battle for Reach, if Bungie doesn't make the game focused on both campaign and MM then the game would fail terribly. Not just Matchmaking.

That's because if a campaign is too predictable and not fun people will only play it once or twice.

They need to make the campaign longer, and they need to make random friendly spawns and random enemy spawns (but there would also be set spawns)

this blue elite speaks the truth.


they'd have to try pretty hard to make a shorter campaign than odst's or halo 3's to be honest. so it can only be longer...................

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Originally I was very much supporting the random spawns. Halo3 would have been playable if it did. But now that we have Firefight I don't really care about that.

They have to focus on the campaign though. In the end MPs are so bland and similiar with each other. I wouldn't even notice a game that has multiplayer but zero story around it. Campaign can also have tons of new, innovative stuff; while MPs usually recycle the same level designs etc.

Length is fine as long as all the material is used thoroughly and the story is consistent and interesting. Hour stamp is unnecessary.

I love long campaigns.
ODST was too short. Halo 3 was fine.
I wish HALO REACH will have a long and entertaining campaign with new missions, new everything.

As long as the campaign is ok and the MM is truly unbelievable I'll be happy.

Bungie was always about the campain and multiplayer.(mm=matchmaking, something i resent in Halo 3's form) However, they always focus on bolth, but they should make the campain First, then the multiplayer maps.(which should be based off of older maps, the campain, and some concepts that never made it)

I just hope Bungie doesn't pull off another Halo 2.......(this is because most of the campain was cut. Litrally, most, if they never cut all of them(microsofts fault for not giving them the time) the campain would be more epic than it is now and it would be the longest campain out of any halo game.)

  • 10.21.2009 12:31 PM PDT

Yes it is spelt like that on purpose.

I like having a long campaign but only if it fun and interesting to play. For the nay sayers claiming people will only play the campaign once that is untrue. Some people are more into multiplayer than campaign and vice-versa. In my own opinion, I play through campaigns multiple times if they are fun but I also like to play multiplayer plenty as well. I like to have a balance with my games. As long as both sides of the game are good (campaign and multiplayer) and that one dosen't take away from the other I will be happy.

Saying everyone is never a good thing to do. The game wouldn't exist without its Campaign and the story has developed into a wonderful universe. 88% of people voted on the longest campaign option available on this poll so you sir would be in the minority, not the "everyone" majority you speak of. I for one still like to go back and play through all the campaigns in order from CE to Halo 3 and would love for this campaign to tell a great story and be very lengthy. Multiplayer needs attention sure (Halo 3's sucks compared to CE and H2) but the campaign I would argue needs even more.

They should make it like this:

Have the regular Reach campaign were you play as the main characters story.

Then there could be DLC like Fallout 3 that adds new missions where you play through different characters, and will eventually lead to their ending in the Battle of Reach.

Are you Microsoft in disguise?
I mean suggest that you can only play the centre piece of the game by paying extra in addition to the $60 dollars you originally pay?

Wow my post completely flew right over your head.

There would be the Main Campaign, which would be the same length as Halo 3's. You would play through the story of one squad, as they fight in Reach.

Then there would be DLC packs, which would add new characters to play as, and new missions. Each DLC Pack would be around 4-6 missions and unveil more things that happened during Reach.

Not true. I still play H3's Campaign. rather often, in fact. So do my friends. I agree, they also need to focus on the other aspects of the game, but the Campaign needs to be equally as awesome as MM and Forge.

  • 10.21.2009 1:14 PM PDT

ODLC campaign was 5 hours? 6 Hours tops on legendary.

  • 10.21.2009 1:16 PM PDT

I agree that there should be a longer campaign, just as long as it doesn't become boring. To help this, I think there should be a bit of difference every time you play. IE: Some randomized spawns (as someone else suggested), more easter eggs, in game strategic choices that effect you and those around you.

Yeah sorry BartronX I didn't read it properly.
Now i think that your idea is a decent one.
