Poll: A look at Halo:Reach

[Grey_Focks]

I don't want to just assume that this game will suck, i actually liked halo wars (not as good as starcraft but...) and i'd like to think that maybe one of the FPS halo games will actually be good, but this game looks like the plot of republic commando, only they added a mute to the squad (you) and some random blue chick. but you got the big yellow explosives guy, the commander has orange armor (i think, dont quote me on that), the red guy has the sniper and awesome mask and so on.

Your bits about the armor colors are off (commander is in blue, sniper in some sort of dark green) but other than that I kinda see what you're saying. Then again, I liked ReCom and thought it deserved a sequel of some sort, so if this is going to be like that, I'd be fine with that

despite what others think i am excited for this as the idea of a prequil squad based combat could be cool, hopefully getting back to their roots. the new features look quite good hopefully the story will be better and the campaign MUST BE LONGER Christ that is the one thing outside the story they should have added.

at this point i may not be coherent but i am looking forward to it and yes i know bungie is milking me for all my worth.

ooooh....the length. that's a very good question, and something I don't recall seeing anything about in the article. I suppose all we can do is hope that it's longer, or send a bunch of angry emails.

My offer of 10 USD via paypal is still valid to any "Halo has a shit story" type who can tell me who the main character of the Halo universe is.

Also the AI neededs a serios revamp when it comes to the driveing sections, if i choose to gun i don't want to go at 10mph i want speed and NOT TO RUN INTO WALLS AND GET BLOWN TO HELL BY A WRAITH!!!! Also if they have the assult rifle in the game it has to have a heaver sound cuz right now it sounds like a nerf-gun. so yea i have so issues with the game...

Halo has a shit story. His name is Master Chief John-117. money please?

 

[Grey_Focks]

Why do people ***** about bungie makings HAlo games?? nintendo has been milking Legend of zelda and mario for years. So fuck off and go play Super Smash bros!

I agree that it's a lame argument, but please refrain from this sort of post. I love Halo, and this kind of thing really just starts flaming, and I really would prefer this topic stay flame free.

So he was the main character in Halo Wars as well? What about Reach, when he is in orbit and not planetside where the game takes place? No, John is not the main character, but a prominent supporting one.

Think broader.

Wars was Sgt. Forge, voiced by Nolan North. Reach's character is being called Noble-6 (sixth member of noble team), though I don't believe his name is revealed yet, but I could be wrong. It's a long article. Halo has a shit story. Money please?

EDIT- oh, I read that wrong. My mistake. You mean the whole Halo universe then. Hell, I dunno, Not Sgt. Johnson, either of the Captain Keyes's, not Cortana, not the Arbiter...do you mean the UNSC as a whole?

 

[stone0042]

Hooray, a Halo game I can be reasonably be excited for, other than an lower caliber RTS and a 6ish hour expansion pack.

My thoughts exactly

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

From what I have read Halo: Reach is what Halo 2 and 3 should have been (and I like Halo 3). Bungie are actually making wholesale improvements in the areas that were most needed for progression and it's got me excited. About bloody time!

Not just the UNSC, the whole damn universe.

The one whos actions are felt in every game, novel and short.

"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall be my example."

Yeah, I hate Halo, and I imagine this won't exactly convince me to see the light.

Looks as boring as the others to me.

Exactly this!

Other minor details aside, so it's essentially Halo with a perk/customization/feat system? I like the idea in theory and don't doubt it will probably be a decent title, but I'd rather see them working on more unique things then following other developers. Customized classed multiplayer being one of the reoccurring elements now days.

hmmm. I can see that to a degree. Though, to be fair, if someone who has played every halo game, and read the first three books, and who admittedly knows he is a halo fanboy doesn't know that, or quite agree with it (I would say Humanity is the protagonist, and saying the Universe is the main character seems rather cheap) can't answer that, then I'd reconsider.

 

[Cabisco]

Half of you will make me feel dirty for saying this, but i trust bungie, i like their games, and i'm excited for a new addition to the franchise. I ultimate hope is that the battles online become bigger, more battlefield-esque in scale.

I wonder if i will ever be able to have a debate with someone who dislikes the game in a interesting and none flame manner. Sadly it's moronic wankers who actually think they HATE the game who will respond to me, or at least just ***** like a little child wanting attention

EDIT:

Couldn't you argue that was Dr. Catherine Halsey?

I edited my post to put the issue to rest.

No, she wasn't around during the time of the Forerunners, obviously.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Bungie, I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish, BUT STOP MILKING HALO!

It's milking to release 6 games over the course over 9 years? I think not.

I suppose you could look at it that way. They really don't go into the MP much at all, so I can't say about that, but the single player works with rechargeable "armor abilities" that you can find and equip throughout the campaign, having one on at a time. I'm curious to see what they do with the MP.
