Halo Reach is going to bring back the Halo franchise

Bring it back? When did it ever go???

It's still the most actively played game on XBL. It's still the game of the MLG.

The only thing Reach is going to do is escelate Halo's already monumental popularity and Live presence.

Also, it will silence the haters....... (But Haters are always going to hate, aren't they??)

I didn't realize that Halo needed a revival.kittyloaf69

They may be popular, but Halo 3 and ODST are colossal disappointments. Hell even Halo 2 wasn't anything special.

Yeh, past two installments have been kinda lame. by the way, I'm, for sure, going to kick all of your asses at Reach Multiplayer. Just wait.AAllxxjjnn

Why, them be fightin' words! :twisted:

Halo has fallen much like Unreal Tournament has. I have been more satisfied with COD series than Halo series this gen.

Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean the whole series is down the crapper.

Really? Can you even argue that the single player component hasn't been going downhill? And multiplayer hasn't really been innovative either. Oh look we took out portals and put in jump gates!

IMO no the singleplayer component hasn't gone downhill, but it looks that it will improve with Reach, but that's just me. And jump gates? Don't you mean grav lifts or something because I'm pretty sure both those AND portals were in Halo 3.

Maybe. Those jumping things on that map with the huge bridge and the ones at the bases in the Blood Gulch remake. Now that you mention it I do remember portals on that remake of the Halo map. Only played the game for a week or two before it started gathering dust.

i've played all halo games and i personnally think its the best fps series. if you look at my sig, you'll see i'm replaying halo:CE so i can review it properly...i'll do thje same for 2, 3, and odst.

reach seems to have taken out the annoying things in halo 3, such as the spike, and flame grenades. it was so fustrating when i wanted to throw a plasma grenade at a jiralhanae but i threw afrag instead, so it just walked away. i'm glad its just frag and plasma now.

i also hope Bungie have also taken out a couple of weapons. don't get me wrong they're all great, but did we really need a plasma sniper?

they've also added in some great stuff such a sleath kills and jetpacks. also suit power-ups, even one that makes you sprint! FINALLY!

its going to be kind of weird at first to kill all those sangheili.....the arbiter ismy favourite character.

anyway I CAN'T wait!!!

Since you played the game, you should had known along with the fact that those portals are also available in Forge.

Remember the glory days of original Xbox Halo? Those serious matches on Live where you lived and died with every kill? Competing with and against your friends for bragging rights. The competitive nature that Halo just put you in from the second the commentator yelled out "Slayer" to start the match. I have a feeling Halo fever is going to return with Reach. People who dont even own 360s know about and are talking about it. People are excited for Halo again and that will only grow in the coming months. I have a feeling Reach is going to be a huge success sales-wise (obviously) but more importantly the gamers are going to really love playing Halo again. Just my 2 cents based on everything ive seen and heard as of late with the game. Agree? Disagree?

SolidTy

:lol:

No one can remember that, because that never happened. ;)

Xbox Live didn't exist until 2002, a full year after Halo and the Xbox came out. Also, Halo Xbox didn't support Xbox LIVE and Xbox Live didn't support Halo...which is exactly what you said there in green. Perhaps you are recalling Xbox's 2004 Halo 2, PC Halo, or some Xbox Halo LAN Gamespy time?

I guess I'm the biggest HALO fan here, because I'm the only one that noticed.8)

Either way, The glory days of Original Xbox Halo with serious matches on Xbox Live never happened.:P

Its called Xbox connect

i say again it was called xbox connectShuraijuro

I'd rather see Master clone get knifed in the back by a BC2 soldier. dc337

[QUOTE="Shuraijuro"]i say again it was called xbox connecttomarlyn

Pretty sure its still at the top, and Reach will be no exception. Its just a really long wait...

I dunno I feel like COD is the new Halo.........until Reach comes outshadow8585

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"][QUOTE="Shuraijuro"]i say again it was called xbox connectHahadouken

The only 2 Halo games that are worth mentioning are Halo 1 and Halo 2. Halo 1 for making a great console shooter and Halo 2 for bringing multiplayer to consoles. Halo 3 didn't do anything special and I doubt Reach will do anything either. Sorry people, Halo is no longer the king of FPS, IMO it never was.

it would be awesome if that was teh case, but seriously, all of these new
"innovations" which halo has brought have been done by a hundred games before it, which really goes to show you how ridiculously simple halo was, push the stick forward and shoot, and try and avoid enemy fire, thats the basics of halo, dont try and bs it and say "oh but you have to be strategic" thats nonsense

linkin_guy109

Move, shoot, and avoid getting hit are the basics of any shooter.

Hell, replace shoot with slash, and you pretty much have addressed the basics of gameplay for action adventures and hack n' slashes too.

Of course, most games start to add things to differientiate themselves. Halo is no exception.

[QUOTE="dc337"]I'd rather see Master clone get knifed in the back by a BC2 soldier. SpiritOfFire117

true lol. but there's just one thing i don't get. what armor do the ODSTs have? the MJOLNIR or the SPI?

if halo reach does not have ai in multiplayer im not buying

already got halo 3 ,

dont need another halo just to play the same old thing ,, like i have been for since 2001 , ,

and if it does not have multiplayer ai ,,

halo reach did not bring halo back , cause it ll be another rushed halo didnt we have halo odst and wars recently ,.

Seeing some of the posts that came after, that should be clear enough. No matter what is offered, if its in the Halo game its just not good enough. Experience has taught me that haters repel facts, evidence, and reasoning like bullets on a kevlar vest. Cancer can actually be cured before ignorance ever is.

I think it's just ODST armor. It doesn't have a specific name.

Well hoardes of Covenant couldn't kill him. What make you think a lowly soldier would?

[QUOTE="dc337"]

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"] The knife would break against MC's MJOLNIR. ThenMC would rip out his skull and beat him to death with it.

Sorry to rain on your parade spirit, but if you look at history, Alexander the Great fought many armies, hordes of men, and won. Then he got killed by a mosquito carrying the malaria virus.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

[QUOTE="dc337"] One of the recon guys could shank him when he is changing his depends. There's no way Master chef takes off all that armor when he needs to take a crap.

In that case, the only way MC can die now is if Cortana gets lazy and they all drift into a sun. :P

IMO Halo ODST was the best in the series, so cant really bring em back.

Where exactly did Halo go?

I used to love playing Halo multiplayer but after Halo 3? I don't know. I can't stand it. No skill, bunch of whiney kids and to me barley anything changed. I won't even buy ODST. Full price for an expansion and the Halo 3 multiplayer. Seriously? Waste of money. I just feel like they are milking the **** outta Halo. There are much much better multiplayer and single player games out there.

The first part sounded like bull. Then it just boiled down to opinion.

Where has Halo gone? I mean, there are still over 100,000 players playing Halo 3 every day, which shows how awesome the series is.

And to the guy wishing that MC would get assasinated by a BC2 Soldier, MC's Armor has very advanced shielding, and the armor plating is able to withstand re-entry with only a few scratches. So, how can a knife penetrate MC's armor with all of those advantages?

Never said it wasn't my opinion. However I don't thinkyou can't justify Bungie making "Halo 3: ODST" years after Halo 3, selling it full price and giving you a disc with the multiplayer from Halo 3. To me that's a rip off. Here's an idea! Why not make ODST have it's own multiplayer instead of just giving everyone Halo 3's multiplayer again. Smells of a rip off to me.

[QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"]

how can it bring a franchise if halo reach is the last halo in the series...i beleive halo 3> halo reach

halo reach looks so kiddy to me..but thats just me...

SpiritOfFire117

It will be the last Halo made by Bungie. Not the last Halo period. And how the hell do you compare a game that isn't even out yet? And how the hell in anyway has Reach looked kiddy in any screen or video what so ever? :?

It was my **** opinion. Figures coming from a Halo fan boy. MY OPINION is ODST is a rip off. Now was it necessary to bring this **** up? I'm not even going to waste my time here. Figures I'd come here and get slammed for a **** opinion. Gotta love the internet.
