Causing mischief from the shadows

Space cowboys.

I think Bungie will take some lead from Firefly. When I first heard rumours of a Bungie MMO I thought of how they love Nathan Fillion and the Firefly series and I thought of how perfeclty a frontier, space pioneering style game would be for an MMO. I think it would suit Bungie's style. Going from planet to planet in a rusted old ship and visiting budding colonies and homesteads including various alien species of gunslingers, ranchers, merchants and plenty of alien bar scenes like the Star Wars cantina seems like a good premise for an MMO.

Now, seeing old latin phrases, things like 'boldly going into space', the old faded style artwork, and now what looks like powerlines and windmills in the new footage... It seems to fit my theory.

In the interest of full disclosure, this wasn't completely originally my idea, a friend of mine seeded it. When she mentioned it'd probably be like Firefly I thought 'wow, she might have just called this'.

Anyway, discuss.

Flood's and Universe's Warhammer 40k fanatic and the one who knows much about it.

I also like House Stark and winter, hurr.

I'd wish that they'd take elements from baroque- and renassaince ages and mix them with scifi.

Because those scifis are for most of the time the best ones.

You probably judge Reach harshly because you hold Halo to a higher standard to most of the other games on the shelf at the store. Name at least 5 other games that come close to the level of feature parody, depth, community features and polish that Halo posses. You'll quickly realize that while Halo Reach might not be up to par to your standards when compared with previous Halo titles, it stands far above a majority of other modern games.

Nicely put Shadow.

And to the OP, that sounds good to me.

A friend of mine had the opportunity to speak with a few artists from Bungie and asked what the new project was, obviously they couldn't tell him but said "Think of what we've done in the past and it's not far off". So Space Cowboys seems possible to me.

Have you have no respect? Halo Reach is on of the most fully featured games! It may not suit your style of gaming, but you cannot deny the fact that Reach is a good game.

It's funny you say that because you're a Legend in Halo: Reach which means you spent a considerable amount of time playing that game.

That would be awesome, and kind of reminds me of my favorite book series, the Dark Tower. Instead of travelling through portals to parallel realities, travelling through space, meeting gunslingers and the like.

I'd buy a game like that.

Current Score:

Nerd: 1

Cream: -1

(lost a point for calling Reach "crap" yet still spending amazing amounts of time playing it.) Herp Derps are worth point reductions.

lol

Yes. I would love a Firefly game! Nathan fillion is brilliant. If this was a game, it would be one of the best things to ever happen on the Xbox 360.

If so, Nathan Fillion must be involved.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Can I get Jayne's hat as an unlockable.

Ooh! Ooh! Do I get a town named after me? With a statue and a folk song? I love folk songs!

I really like your theory, OP.

I'd play that game. I'd play it to death and back.

HONESTLEY, In my opinion, I have full faith in Bungie for whatever they do. I always have, and always will. I think that thier next game will be amazing and will take home the gold. I cant wait!

Now with the people who think they are rebels and say, "bungie's next game is gonna be trash", and stuff. Your basing that off of one game that was fairly good in my opinion, Reach, omg its one game, they wanted to try someething new and it was good to some ppl, bad to others.

Bungie has been wanting to make Destiny ever since Halo:CE came out, so they definatley know what they are doing. PEOPLE who still wanna complain and trash bungie, GET OFF B.NET, why are you still here, just to complain, no, get off.

How fun would it be if your guild hall was your space craft that you could modify and renovate however you want?

  • 08.06.2011 12:47 AM PDT

If it's an MMO, I can't wait, especially an fps. We really haven't seen a lot of games do a MMOFPS but it would be extremely cool if Bungie can pull it off, and I bet that they can ;).

What would be really cool is if it is futuristic in space, but have planets that are old, and have old architecture.

And if you really know me, then you would know I LOVE customization, so I want to customize my ship, my clothes, my weapons etc. to the HIGHEST degree EX: Being able to add mag pouches on my player for extra mags, or changing the internals of a gun.

I would also really like if the environment is destructible, like a player setting up a base on a planet and for me to be able to call in my friends and bomb it, and I just got chills on now with the connectivity between my friends.

Good luck Bungie, See You Starside!
