Subject: You know what would be awesome? An episodic single-player Halo game.

Now, I like the idea of having a sort of "expanded universe" of the Halo series, with different games filling in the gaps.

However, that wouldn't fit in with the whole "one huge game every X number of years complete with multiplayer" thing.

So, I propose: Halo Episodes.

Each episode would be released for a reasonable price ($5-$10) and contain a few (3-5) missions, each focusing on a particular era.

For example, one episode could have you fighting in Arcadia alongside Red Team. Another episode could have you in an ODST's boots on Reach. Another could reverse the roles and have you fight on Installation 04 as Thel 'Vadamee. Yet another could let you play as Johnson. There could even be space combat episodes.

These would serve much the same purpose as Legends: pointing a microscope at key points not mentioned in the rest of the games. There is a lot of fighting to be done, and we've only played through a small portion...

So, how does this idea sound?

That would actually be pretty sweet. Doubt Bungie would do it, but still, doesn't hurt to hope.

  • 11.18.2010 10:13 PM PDT

Only those who bask in the glory of The Emperor shall progress onward.

That seems like a plausible idea. It could work well.

  • 11.18.2010 10:20 PM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

At one point, I thought this was going to be a reality. The idea sounds familiar...

Either way, if 343 were to do this, I would be very, very pleased. This idea is much better than "Halo 4"

THIS if 343 members are watching just do a episodic game of red team and release it like read dead undead pack,

I'd be happy to see this, even if it wasn't necessarily by Bungie. I'd definitely prefer 343 to do this instead of AAA Halo titles.

I think episodic gaming has been given a bad name by Valve though, and I'm a bit put off by that.

Valve are notoriously bad when it comes to release dates, so much so that they continue to make fun of themselves for it. I think an episodic Halo release would be a great idea. It gives the fans their fill in terms of campaign and story and has the potential to make more money for the 343 than a standalone game.

give this man over 9000 cookies, briliant idea!

Seriously, my only problem with it is that I didn't think of it!

  • 11.19.2010 5:31 AM PDT

Evolutions was conceived by the masterminds at 343. They decide what the next game is, so I'm hopeful... maybe a mission where you pilot the Hopeful as Vice Admiral Jeromi?

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Anything would be better than a Halo 4.

I love it!

Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone
But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on

Most interesting. I would support this, if 343 did it.

  • 11.19.2010 7:38 AM PDT

I quite like this idea, some parts of the universe didn't really get the attention I think they deserved...

  • 11.19.2010 8:17 AM PDT

I support this idea most def. It would great. I don't understand the need for Halo 4 when there is almost 30 years of untapped stories.

If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.

I like this idea; I wouldn't mind something like a game-version of Evolutions.

  • 11.19.2010 8:39 AM PDT

I would love that, but I want a Spartan III training episode. I want to get shoved out of a Pelican by Mendez.

I don't know how ESRB would receive that though. : (

Wake me when the jews are gone.

thats a good idea but how would they update the multiplayer and graphics

  • 11.19.2010 10:14 AM PDT

If they made an FPS of Wars I would be most grateful indeed. So unlikely but not impossible.

Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll look
A corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.
Win.

343, get yo' asses on the Bungie forums, we got a LIVE one here!

I like the idea. Go, go, email 343 and inform them.

  • 11.19.2010 10:22 AM PDT

Just going back to it, even if they had no real flow, just little things like the OP said could make the universe so much more interesting.

I'm definitely in.

I'm getting sick of multi-player games, so some single-player only Halo's would be cool.

Release them on XBLA for 1200-1600 MSP and they're set.

  • 11.19.2010 11:37 AM PDT

If they were single-player only games then I would like them to be as long as the average Halo campaign.

At the very least, yeah.

Long time listener,first time complainer.

The idea of episodic content sounds like Peter Jackson's canned project.I really like the idea.
