Subject: Waiting 5 years for Halo 4.....

Founder of Team Reclaimer where we specialize in Big Team Battle and Invasion games. We are all about Communication, Dedication and Fun.

would some halo fans really wish that had been the case with Halo Reach? In other words, would some people have wished reach never existed and would have gladly waited for a halo 4. (2007-2012)

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

mehh, Reach is fun enough so no

The fact that Reach was such a failure by Halo standards means that 343i should be well equiped to avoid all of the issues that were brought up. If anything, Halo 4 will be better because of Reach's falling.

This. Bungie made all the mistakes for 343.

Would it be possible for 343 to create a game as bad as Reach?
Even if they tried. It wouldn't be close.

I'm afraid that 343 will try to build on the AA idea, and include even more in the next game. I really hope they wise up and get rid of it though.

On the Halo wiki I found this under "Trivia" for Reach.
"Early on in the game's development, before coming up with the idea of a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, Bungie considered making a follow-up to Halo 3, with John-117 as the protagonist"

The little break from John just makes me want Halo 4 that much more.

And, if Bungie had done what they did with Reach to Halo 4, I would have NEVER been able to forgive them. I can forgive Reach though, so I'm glad they went the way they did.

^And I agree with everyone above me in these quotes.
Sweet I can address you all at one time,343 would be lucky to repeat the multimillion dollar making "mistake" that bungie made,despite whatever percevied flaws,most of you continue to play and will be buying 4,and plunderdames is gonna make a little prediction,even if you guys hate 4 just as much as reach,you will play it and will buy number 5 and complain about that one to.

If Halo 4 sucks. Why would I want to make the same mistake with Halo 5. It would most likely suck to. Which means I'm not going to get it.

I got Reach because it was Bungie's last Halo game. I should expect it to be the best one they made. I should expect they would put everything they have into it.

But they didn't. When you compare it to the others. You can tell they hardly tried on it.

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

I think if they waited that long, it would either be a huge success or a horrible failure, hence killing the series.

We will see and while I will most likely not be able to verify,you will know the truth.While Im no tech,it must have been a nightmare to make the game have any similance of balance with the addition of the AA.

If you define Reach as a flop,you are incorrect,reach was a finacial success and MS will not throw away profit ergo 5 is almost inevitable.

Yes, because people hoped it was going to be good. It wasn't, people left. Simple. If H4 turns into another Reach, no one (or atleast a lot of people) is going to buy a Halo after that.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

Yes.

Absolutely. Alienating your hardcore fans is never a good idea.

Boom you know as well as I do if they slap halo on the front cover its gonna make serious coin, even if the hardcore fan, whatever that means, does not approve.4 will be a finacial success,its almost written in stone and one can only logicly assume that will at least garner a 5.

Obviously people will buy H4 because there is 'Halo' and the hope that it will much better than Reach, but if the MP turns into another lolReach, the whole franchise is done. IF that does happen, a Halo after that won't be nearly as successful as past games. 2 bad games in a row, why bother buying another after that?
