I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

I mean, I like the new font, but it just feels wrong to have a new one. The original Halo 1-3 font felt just right and complemented the game's mysterious feel.

The new text just doesn't feel like Halo. But, oh well, Reach will surely be awesome.

What are your thought on the new font?

I guess Bungie wanted us to notice that Halo is changing. And we should move on... maybe?

I like the new one... it looks the same, just cleaner and more stylized.

hello

Think of it as the young font.
The old ones looked dirty and scratched.


The new one looks clean and shiny.

Also, Reach takes place before the discovery of any forerunner structures or tech... and I'm pretty sure the textures and stuff on the old font is supposed to be forerunner, so that wouldn't make much sense.

ODST's font kind of punches a hole in my theory then, though...

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Reach will have different feel. IMO the new font is very good.

And we must remember that Reach is unlikely to have actual Halos..
