So... Halo Reach does look promising...

Think about it...

I'm not a huge Halo fan, seeing as I am a big PC gamer, but I have to point this out because I think the Halo series has taken too much negativity when it hasn't had the chance to build on them or respond to them. (By negativity I mean saying things like "Modern Warfare is much better than Halo, halo sucks" when Halo never had the chance to counter it considering it came out before them)

Now they do have a chance to respond. With Halo Reach.

Yeah, Modern Warfare 2 is coming out next week and is undoubtedly the most anticipated and the sequel to one of the greatest shooters of all time...

HOWEVER, lets backtrack. Do you remember the surprise (and awe honestly) when Halo 1 came out? It was such an excellent shooter. Now shooters have evolved into even better, more customizable games with unparalleled multi-player capability.

Now put yourself in Bungie's shoes. They have been around to see the release of Call of Duty's new revolutionary games... and games like Crysis, Uncharted, and any other great FPS you can think of...
Bungie created Halo, and at the time that was a feat and such an accomplishment on their part. Now that same company, has other games to look at and build off of and ultimately compete with.

Now, SERIOUSLY think about it. Bungie will pull out all the stops with this game. They will add new weapons and customization options (obviously) and features to counter Modern Warfare and Uncharted, etc.

They have to if they want any sales and any credibility in the future. They are a smart company, they know this.

So all in all, I am predicting a Halo game with a comparable campaign experience to Halo one, and more. A more robust and customizable multi-player. A better engine. And a complete re-brand of what we see the Halo series as now. Which is basically a game that has great multi-player but hasn't lived up to its potential overall.

But, considering Bungie... Id say that opinion will change, unless you're just that stubborn.

Lol true. It wasn't that great besides firefight... And it definitely should have been cheaper, or downloadable...

And I know there isn't much information but you have to keep it in the context of who Bungie is.

Their games are already being thrown off to the side and its not like they are blind from noticing it, and they are gonna have to try much harder with Reach, which I expect them to.

I just hope they do a new IP after Halo: Reach. I love Halo, but Bungie needs to do something different.beast667

I agree, they are a very capable company... I'd like to see an RPG, but I'm just a PC gaming RPG whore so... :P

It is the most different out of all the Halo games.

Its a Halo 3 expansion, so if it feels like Halo 3, all is well.

I doubt it because your view of the game's turnout before it comes out is just as credible as mine. AKA Its not.

I'm just speculating. You say it as if its a scientific fact.

Why not?

He's saying you should blame MS for making seem like another separate game by jacking up the price.

Bungie intended for it to be an expansion.

[QUOTE="EdVader"]

[QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"]
Why do you doubt it? Even ODST, "The most different entry in the series" as Halo fanboys like to call it, is almost IDENTICAL to Halo 3 gameplay wise. 2 new guns and a new visor? Wow. Feels so much different than the Master Chief days. :roll:

That's only 5 screens.

I really can't speculate any more than you can, but I'm just putting my opinion out there. And that is that Bungie will try to make the series more fresh and make a lot of improvements to the game, considering that there are other good shooters out there so their old model wont fly for long. I mean, this IS their last game, they aren't gonna half-ass it.

If they do though... shame on them

It will be AAA. Just like 3, which was like 2, which was like 1......even "the expansion" ;)

I think it does look promising.

And I take back what I said about the sceenshots, even though they are very early, I think they are an improvement over Halo 3.

I don't understand this comment. Sequels feel like the game that came before them. This should be common knowledge. They're not new games. They are sequels, and barring a large technological/ generation gap in the case of Killzone, I'd expect the sequel to feel like the rest of the series. This is true of the CoD series. This is true of the Fable series, the Gears of War series. Last gen's GTA game - hell, I don't even think GTA 4 drastically stepped away from the formula. Saints Row to Saints Row 2.

[QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"] Don't get me wrong, I know it'll be a good game... it's Halo. But let's be honest, Bungie hasn't done a whole lot new with the CORE GAMEPLAY of Halo(not including Halo Wars) since Combat Evolved. And by that trend I don't think Reach will be much different either. Based on the leaked pics we already know the game is going to have mostly the same guns if I remember correctly.

To each there own, I guess. I find enough variations in the gameplay between each game to appreciate them all as unique experiences.
