Halo: Reach info RELEASED! (next big Halo game... same importance as Halo 4)

Mate. That link sends me to Bungie's forums -- and to a forum post by a dude who claims insider information. Take such with a grain of salt.Stevo_the_gamer

it seems that every gs forum user has to give their one "take *insert random game info source* with a grain of salt" comment per day/

it is so over used around here it hurts

I hope the darkness doesn't mean shifting to all shades of gray/black/brown. Honestly, that's one thing that makes Halo good, it's color scheme. I know some may frown upon me for saying this, but it's like the Final Fantasy of FPS games with its colors. Rarely do you ever see designs in the alien structures that show a bit of sohphistication, and even the human/Earth level designs gave off that sort of feel to me.

maybe its more focused on coop? not slapped on like in Halo 3. give me customisable Spartans and id be happy.

Hey Bungie, here's some of my sound advice. Learn to make something that isn't Halo. Why not go back to marathon story? Stop making prequels, stop making stories from different points of view, I want something new, something fresh. Stop milking the same old franchise.luigigreen

I'd rather Bungie make a RPG on Halo instead of a FPS in an all new universe.

Halo: The only game where you can feel like a bad*** while weilding a purple gun that shoots pink exploding sprinkles. :P

Anyway I will take that news with a grain of salt because it isn't offical, and I don't know how Bungie could really focus on mutliplayer any more than they already do, I mean they give their games a 100% focus on Single Player a and 100% focus on Multiplayer to make a 200% kick*** video game.

Well, it couldn't be Microsoft's fault could it? Back in 07, Bungie basically bought their independence back from MS so that they could be free to work on games of their choosing.

I dunno. Maybe Bungie wasn't as finished with the Halo franchise as they led on.

Because the marathon story is different from halo. >.>SAGE_OF_FIRE

It is. In fact, it's as different (or as similar, however you view it) as the difference (or similarity) between Pan's Labyrinth and the Devil's Backbone, both awesome spiritual twin movies by Guillermo del Toro.

Personally, I think Bungie is epic, so whatever they make I'll support :) enjoi

This is a FORUM POST, that's not news...

In fact, the FORUM POST is from a guy who knows some Italian guys who talked to some rep at E3...couldn't be more of a grapevine, AT ALL.

Meanwhile, YOUR TOPIC is ENTIRELY MISLEADING.

Admit it, your TOPIC is just a way to get people posting about HALO REACH years in advance, to get the hype level up, and this isn't the only forum you willl drop this info, right?

Squall18, you have A LOT of info about Xbox forum posts owned by M$...cool.

Where can I get a job posting links, because, I'm good at that. PM me with a way to get that job, I'm so down. :)

That's where we differ. I mean, Infinity Ward have made Call of Duty games that are about different wars and different stories. In fact, while one is authentic, realistic World War 2 awesomeness, the other is a Michael Bay action movie. They both feel almost exactly the same.

Nintendo, on the other hand, have used Mario in only around two million games, and of those one million that are platforming (and saving Peach time and time again), they're able to craft an experience so unique in each game that it can rival the difference between Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter series. Again, they do the same with the Metroid series, where Prime and Other M use the same universe in a completely different gameplay premise.

Just to clarify, would you like Bungie to pull an Infinity Ward rather than a Nintendo? To pull an Infinity Ward, they create a totally different story, but chuck Halo's mechanics right on top of it. To pull a Nintendo, they need not create another universe, but just change the gameplay premise to something totally different and unique because well, y'know, they are making a game.

In the best case scenario they would do both, but I'm just clarifying your position. It's interesting to see what people value in their games.

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"]

[QUOTE="sargentbotk"]Of course Bungie will do this to make a quick buck but at the sametime still support the Halo fans but I don't think it was their idea to make this game (Looks at Microsoft.) Though this is just another Halo game, it is also a potential AAA game to add onto the collection of an AAA franchise. And this is a snack I will not cast away, because I love the taste :)

I love Nintendo and the work they do with Mario and Zelda, but the reason you play those games is because the story is simple, but the gameplay is always so fantastic. I feel like Bungie had a story, more complex then anything Nintendo has had, and finished it. But now, their going back and giving us prequels and side stories, instead of creating something new, story and gameplay wise. I'd like them to create something new, gameplay and story wise. It's getting frustrating considering it's their only franchise, and they refuse to make anything new.luigigreen

I know where you're coming from and to be honest I agree. We've been getting Halo for the past nine years straight, and it's about time it's been shelved at least until next generation or so.

At the same time, I don't want Bungie to create another FPS, at least for a very long time. They're very talented at creating something that's not a FPS, and so I hope that Halo: Reach is the absolutely last FPS they're doing for awhile; and if it came between those two choices I've previously stated, I'd bite the bullet and have another game set in the Halo universe but not a FPS.

But yeah, let Microsoft whore out Halo, Bungie. You do something different, please.

[QUOTE="luigigreen"] I don't care if it would be FPS or RPG, as long as it's not Halo. Write another story, something different, not sci fi, anything.luigigreen

Halo is more than what was told in the games, the Universe is huge like Star War's universe is and most people have a story in part of it. I mean if Bungie wanted to they could make a game about the Humans first encounter with the Covenant or they could do a story about the civil war that the humans were facing before the Covenant discovered them ect.

how about bungie makes something new??? ReaperV7

This is pretty damn awesome if it is true.

If this is true then it's good that they're using a new engine this time.

Hopefully they can spice up the formula a bit instead of just using the same run and gun gameplay.

Nice double standard there, with the Mario sig and profile picture. The same could be said of Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Call of Duty, mario, Metroid Prime, and so many other franchises. Please think before you post.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Now the milking begins.

Darker Halo? Humm
