Bungie said that all multiplayer maps come from the campaign. If you look in the backround you will see a halo ring rising up on the horizon. Does this mean that at somepoint in the campaign we will be going to Halo with Master Chief? Or is it just that this map truly isn't in Reach?

NO THERE IS NO HALO IN REACH THIS ALL HAPPEND BEFORE HALO:CE AND IM PREETY SURE IT IS ALL ON THE PLANET REACH!!!!!!!!!


I am aware of the fact that this is a prequel, but Bungie said that every multiplayer map is pulled from the campaign and if you look in the backround on the homepage you will see a halo ring rising on the backround which leads me to beleive that the entire campaign will not be on Reach.

Its just that everyone thinks theres going to be a halo in this game

So? Of course they do. It's slapped on right in the background. We have no clue whatsoever as to how this campaign is supposed to end. For all we know, Noble Team may as well engage in space-combat, board a Covy ship of some sort while the PoA jumps into slipspace and heads for Alpha Halo, followed by said Covy ship (as well as the rest of the fleet). And would you believe it? Halo is now involved in the game's story.

the UNSC never heard about the Halos before Cheif went there and why does everyone think that ALL of the maps will be based on Campaign


Because Bungie stated in one of their updates before the beta came out that ALL of the multiplayer maps will be based on the campaign or vice versa.

I was just coming here to post the same exact thing...
So the multiplayer maps are campaign maps now and vice versa? Does that say something about the sandbox nature? Which comes first? Multiplayer maps that work in single player or single player maps that work in multiplayer?

ML: It's a good question. We take multiplayer very seriously; we actually have higher standards of really finessed gameplay within the (multiplayer) environment and we scrutinize those areas tremendously. Now we've taken that across the board for Reach. Every space within Reach has that type of scrutiny applied to it. The multiplayer maps as a result are integrated into the campaign and have that level of scrutiny applied to them so they play excellently and it's really important for us to light them well, to make them play well for that multiplayer action players expect to see.

So either they changed their minds or .... either one of two things... like Pirar7eHun7er said, Noble 6 escapes reach and ends up in Blood Gulch on the original Ring and subsequently then die after Master Chief blows up the Ring... or maybe.. just maybe.. we might be getting Halo: Combat Evolved HD! (I agree.. this is a stretch)


That would be fantastic, going through halo ce in the same environments but in an all new light...

When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

The last theory caught my attention. Fans of the fiction would know.

ALPHAxxDRAGON: I think you may be going a little too far into the past with Halo Reach. If you read the book Fall of Reach by Eric Nyland Reach was destroyed only a short time before The Pillar of Autumn left on a course that would lead them to Alpha Halo. So it is easily conceivable that Noble 6 could slip onboard The Autumn or possibly one of the Covenant ships as well. So it is not entirely impossible that there will be no halo in Reach.

Remember... Halo reach isn't exactly following the novels.. I.e. The spartan III's on reach, brutes and skermishser's. Bungie is forging their own path. However I must admit that there are some similarities between the books and the game... The fact that the Spartan III's were taking injections of physical enhancement suppliments... Or drugs if you will; instead of taking the cybernetic augmentations the Spartan II's needed. One can only know what clues the reveal of blood gultch 2 means.

Although the games don't follow the same storyline as the books the timeframe should be accurate. I think that somehow the S-III's end up on halo. Why else would there be a halo ring in the horizon when Bungie said ALL the multiplayer maps would come directly from campaign?

I suddenly have the urge to play Halo: CE.

it doesnt matter what u guys think if Bungie says that every multiplayer map is going to dereive from the campaign than that means that every multiplayer map will dereive from campaign so it doesnt matter how the S III's land on halo they just do so it doesnt matter we'll all find out when the game is in stores.

OMG its going to be just like all those times I played nothing but Blood Gulch in the Halo Demo. Thank you Bungie!!!!


Now if only we can forge firefight maps then this'll be perfect!!!

  • 07.09.2010 3:15 PM PDT

Oh yeah baby blood gultch I knew it this is going to be a big hit :)

  • 07.09.2010 8:52 PM PDT

The one thing you desire most in this world is something you'll never get. My desire is love. So far, my desire follows the phrase to the letter.

i never got to play halo 1 except for the demo but a remake of blood gulch out of the canyon and new armor abilities and a new warthog remake of the hornet(finally) this game will be EPIC!!!!!!!1111!!!!11!!!!!

  • 07.10.2010 1:30 AM PDT

Blood Gulch is back.
I'm so happy right now.

  • 07.10.2010 3:16 AM PDT

How do i get the flame halmet

  • 07.10.2010 9:47 AM PDT

Yay, Blood Gulch!!!

  • 07.10.2010 2:35 PM PDT

I skimmed the forms and saw no speculation about 32 multiplayer. Does no one else think this map is too large for just 16 people?

  • 07.10.2010 7:27 PM PDT

Blood Gulch is back!

Whoo!

  • 07.11.2010 9:39 AM PDT

I....I..can't...believe...I think I'm going to pass out....I'm gonna make bungie my new home page. OMG I thought Halo Reach was gonna be like Halo 3 ODST, no offense but that game didn't last long, but now...once I saw BLOOOOODDDD GUUULCH!! AND the Falcon, I was like...OMG. TTTTTHHHHHAAAAAANKK UUUUU BBUUUUUNNNGGGIIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahh sheez! stop trying to manipulate the story. ther eis no halo in reach. it was discovered in ce
blood gultch is an old fan favorite, so they brought it back. but this will be the only map not in the campaign. seriously, reach is VERY far away from where the pillar of autumn landed on halo. be a little leiniant fellas

Actually the planet Reach is where the Pillar of Autumn did their slipspace jump that made them end up on halo. The reason they left was because the Covenant glassed Reach.

Can I interrupt this orgy with a serious question?

Is that map actually playable? Looks like you could struggle to find people with 16 players on the map


They have completely rewritten the engine that they use... mayhap there could be a possibility of larger parties... plus there will probably be a lot of vehicles and it looks like they actually have the falcon in mp, so it can probably be used as a transport or something... just theory.


PS.. Just because the map resembles blood gultch doesn't mean that it is the actual blood gultch from the first halo found. It will be a place on reach that has a canyon and bungie decided to design it after blood gultch because that map is so popular.... why do you people think that noble will end up on halo... that is ludicrous. That also leaves the ability of it to still be in campaign b/c it isn't the original blood gultch. It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp...
