I think he is saying that when we play Reach we will be playing a flashback that the Chief is having while adrift in space after Halo 3. This way when we finish Reach Bungie could continue the story somewhat with the chief, cortana, and the legendary planet which could lead into Halo 4.

I can haz keyboard i make with the typing to sense make not.

I think he wants cortana to be involved with Reach, and master cheif to have a flash back of some sort.

I guess he hasn't heard that Halo: Reach is a prequal and is posting the idea:

"Zomg, reach is gonna start as master cheif in space at the end of halo 3 and he is gonna have a flash back to reach!" whch isn't gonna happen since its a prequal, you can't make it a prequal when it picks up from when its suppose to come before.

And there is already a Halo 4 being made, or atleast they are trying to make it, 343 industries said they wanted to continue master cheifs story cause of the cliff hanger ending in Halo 3.

Can I ask why? So far in my book they are doing a decent job. Halo Waypoint came out good, has a few problems but nothing major. The Anime series is pretty good (And I hate anime...). Frank O'Connor leads them and he has worked with Bungie and is a true Halo fan, he would not let anything bad happen to Halo. Also most of the staff is Ex-Bungie employees. Which if what everyone swares is right on the forums (Halo CE is better then any other Halo) then any game they make will be amazing.

Halo: Legends is exactly the reason. You CAN'T make Halo anime. It DOESN'T WORK!
So i despise them already.
Halo waypoint was alright. But a little odd because it didn't really give you instructions. It was just random.

I mean Halo: Legends has a good story, but i do hate the look of it, always have hated the look of anime. But a good story comes first for me, looks come second.

And you are right about Waypoint. But it only took me 10minutes to get the hang of it. Sadly there is a small problem where it can freeze after you watch alot of videos on it, it sucks cause there are alot on there, but I had to restart my Xbox a few times because of this.

  • 11.19.2009 10:24 AM PDT

Yes, it felt a little rushed. I disliked the "achievements/medals" in it. Made NO sense.
Neither did leveling up. So confusing. So i only use it when i get all the Halo achievements to unlock armor and stuff.
But that'll take me a while. And i don't have the patience for repetitious games anymore. I'm getting sick of MW2 and all other games. They're just not original enough.

  • 11.19.2009 10:27 AM PDT

Haha, the leveling and medals in waypoint is based only off achievements, which in my book is stupid.

a 40 is currently the highest one can get and you only need like 2800 to get there (Not that hard to get). I'm sure it will bump up to 50 when Halo: Reach comes out. But I think they should of used Match Making levels to also determine your level, obviously a person with a 50 should be able to get a higher level then a 5.

Some medals should require you to get over a certain level in a match making playlist that goes along with the medals theme, even if its like "Get over a 25 in Team Snipers in Halo 3 Match Making". Anything to make them harder to get.

And I actually got tired of CoD around the 3 or 4th game, I used to love it when they were making the first few. Then I got bored with whatever the last one I played was, and realized it was the same thing over and over again. I might try MW2 just because I hear its an amazing game compared to other CoDs.

  • 11.19.2009 10:34 AM PDT

It is but it's near impossible to play with mediocre gamers. Two player (especially splitscreen) is terrible. Especially stealth missions!
All round it's good but they should've let you have two player campaign. Would have made it loads more fun.
Matchmaking is more deep. A little weird and futuristic (sort off). But still very good.
However without xbox live it will get old.
I agree with waypoint levelling.
There should be two.
Achievement levels and Halo MM levels.
And bonus levels, where if you achieve something (only can be done once) you get experience. If you do big things. E.g. get MVP (than can't be done again). So you have to do new things instead of repeating something easy and levelling up quickly.
Than there can be gun levels.
Say you get your first explosive kill with a needler. You gain exp for that gun.
Once you reach like 10 exp you are level 1 with needler.
So on and so forth. But the bigger the kills you get, the more exp you get for that gun.

Level 50 will be the max level for all thingies.

  • 11.19.2009 10:43 AM PDT

Yeah. It makes sense. they could transfer the stats from Bungie.net and it would give people their current level, maybe after 1000 total kills you would get a 50 with that weapon.

They should of integrated MM into it in the first place but maybe they are waiting to see what Halo Reach will have match making wise.

Its an okay service, but could of been alot better, especially since I have been hearing about it for a few months now. First time I got on it, I got a 40, and have not been to that page since, I just use it to check whats going on now.

Basically i dont like waypoint for one reason....
it includes halo wars, which i have not and wont buy, plus all of the awards are for odst.

it could be cool if they could also link completeing halo ce and halo 2 to waypoint

Well like it or not, Halo Wars is a Halo game, bungie helped in some ways with that game, but its mostly hated because its not FPS like other Halo games.

I would think there is a way to add achievements to Halo CE and Halo 2. But i'm not sure if you can, it would be cool if they put a few in just to make people go back to the roots of Halo games.

Only reason the rewards are from ODST is because it was the only game made after the award system was put in. Chances are there will be more awards for Halo: Reach.

  • 11.19.2009 11:22 AM PDT

Don't hate... ...loathe.

Isn't this supposed to be a discussion about Cortana on Reach or at end of Halo 3 or in a forrest or her not being forgotten while back at dalta reach halo 3 reach master chief play as rampant or what ever that guy was trying to say.

On point if there is a piont to be on. I'm sure that Cortana will make an apperance if not have a central role in some part of the plot.

THE PREQUEL CAN START BY GOING BACK TO THE PAST...it doesnt mean it HAS to start from the very begining. Halo :reach begins with master chief, he starts thinking about all he's gone through. how he got cortana. while hes thinking this your playing as which ever spartan you want. the flashback is the campaign. he thinks all the way through of everything , how he got to be where he is , how he was in his group, who his group mates where, what they did, their story too..not just his.
he finally comes to where he is and realizes where cortana is or how he can save her.
make more sense?
(earlier i typed it quick because i'm at work...lol i'm 15 at walgreens co. ) suck it :p

I think your misunderstanding me? I didn't know I had an idea on this. I'm just saying that you think it'd be cool if this game was just Master Chief remembering what happened at Reach and we play his memories. Then we'd get to see a little more info on what happens to the Chief and Cortana after the legendary ending. What I'm saying is, how can Chief be remembering the events of Reach while he's in a cryo sleep?
