and mario, link etc.BaldursBananaSoap said:I wonder how Reach will actually play? If Bungie continue their trend then probably a completely neglected single player with a worse story than the previous games like Halo 3 to focus on multiplayer that will probably have a few new changes and be completely overblown by media hype because it has Halo on it. Yippie?
Halo should just die before it's milked even more and becomes like Sonic.
yeah when a company as up itself as microsoft isnt even confident in its own product you know its gonna be turd in a turdVitusPrime said:Oh so they think fans wouldnt buy it otherwise,
Thanks for the confidence Microsoft
Nice to see someone who actually knows their Halo canon. Not a massive fan of the Halo-verse, but the books were a good read [they certainly held my attention longer than Halo1+2]Khell_Sennet said:Unless they're tossing the novels canon out the window, the time period is just slightly before Halo 1, because Reach was totally glassed. The who, multiple covenant vessels with tens of thousands of grunts, jackals, elites, and hunters (no brutes, no flood) vs the entire Spartan II program sans 5 Spartans (John-117, Linda-058, Kelly-087, and Fred-104, and Kurt-051). Six if you count that Spartan chick from Dead or Alive (Nicole-458), but I'd hardly consider a crossover fighting game character "canon".Conveant0 said:It's only useful to promote a beta when you know a little about the game. I (like to think) I know a bit about the backstory/lore(?) and still don't know at what period of time they even set the game, nevermind; who is involved, whether there is anything inovative in comparison to Halo 3 or if there is anything new at all.
I don't want to go out and buy a game after seeing only the box art, however I want ODST and I'd just add it as a small bonus.
As to new things, innovation, etc... Think Halo 1 sans the armor.

Two of your squad-mates are Adam (Jayne) Baldwin and Alan (Wash) Tudyk, so think of this as a mini-Firefly reunion.
(And your boss is Tricia (Number Six) Helfer from Battlestar Galactica.)

Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. They are dropped into hot zones usually from low orbit in single man pods. Most of the time they are in relatively small squads. Think of them as like the Navy Seals or Delta Force of the Halo universe.lwm3398 said:What does ODST stand for?
Just curious.
