Why are people excited for sequels that look the same? Side by side, I can't notice a difference between this and Halo 3 save the admittedly damn good graphics (and even though I'm not a fan- Halo 3 did, and does, look pretty good, highly underrated in that area- reach improves in this area though)

But besides the technical improvements, everything looks the same.

- Same enemy designs

- Same weapons

- same gameplay (i know it's a fps and that's fine, but there must be a way to change it)

etc.

What gives Bungie? When is halo going to evolve even a bit?

You should really wait for the beta before you judge the game.

This thread would have failed no matter what but you should have at least done it before all the new info was released 2 days ago.

- Same enemy designs Lol I'd advise you to check those scans again.

- Same weapons Check the scans again

- same gameplay (i know it's a fps and that's fine, but there must be a way to change it) Carefully read the scans

etc.

  1. Reach is a prequel.
  2. It takes place in the same universe. Of course they use some of the same enemies and weapons along with some new additions.
  3. Gee, I guess you must know from the beta. Oh wait....

enemy designs have changed and there are new enemies, weapon designs have changed and there are new weapons too, gameplay will probably be the same except with more enemies on screen bigger environments, more vehicles, changes to multiplayer (perks) and new multiplayer modes.

It's a Halo game, it's expected to have the gameplay and story elements that the Halo series is known for.

yeah, I think TC should do his complaining to MS and not Bungie..... Bungie is just doing their job. I think he has more of a problem with MS not releasing new IPs along side games like Halo Reach or what ever..... but that goes back to MS shutting down various studios they have had....and instead investing in 3rd Party DLC deals and Natal. Sure Natal might have new IPs, but I'm sure they will be more casual....compared to games like Demon Souls, Heavy Rain, 3D Dot Heros, White Knight Stories, etc.

I have no problem with MS. Yea, they shut down Ensemble, ACES, and FASA, but they also helped to create a replacement studio which essentially is the same-- Robot, Smith and Tinker. Besides that they recently created 343 Industries, Spawnpoint Studios, Wingnut, Ruffian, Mistwalker, and bought BigPark. It's just that the recent studios haven't put out games yet. In reality, overall, MS's operations have created more companies than before. And Bungie is creating a new IP, I'm familiar with this. So it's all good. It's just the fact that this Halo is essentially Halo 3.2

lol Same enemy designs? Same weapons? Same gameplay? Halo Reach is mixing all of that up, just as other entrants in the franchise have, but it's doing quite a bit more. You are being far too critical, or trying to make a topic for attention.
