It wouldn't make much sense for them to exclude it now would it?

Played it a few times at PAX and it only reinforces my will to buy this.

So is it safe to say Reach will be another FPS then?
I predict an MMO-type of game!

So, Reach confirmed for ANOTHER FPS.

On that note, I would bloody love a Warthog racing game. Halo 1 physics, of course.

Well, it wouldn't make sense to exclude it, as Xzyliac has already said. I'm just curious to find out how they will keep the series fresh by the time Reach comes around. Each entry has introduced something new, so I want to find out what Reach will bring.

Can't wait to try Firefight mode.

To Install or Not to Install

Halo 3: ODST Campaign/Firefight Disc – Install It

Halo 3: Mythic – Don’t Install It

Thanks for the help. That really takes one of millions of questions off my back. :-)

Ha @Electrium: You missed the real troll, matrixdude171, who's been trolling all the Halo-related posts.

Not just another FPS, but basically another Halo 3 expansion/sequel. It's being hyped as a refresher to the Halo series, and a treader of new grounds but it's not going to be anymore a breath of fresh air than ODST will be. The amazing new never before seen mechanic in ODST is removing the Chief. Basically, your health is lower and you have a new visor. It's still the exact same game. Reach will be the same. Just throw in some new, cheesy and done-before mechanic, surround it with Halo technobabble, and you have yourself Reach.

I am so fucking excited. Not. There is so much potential in the Halo Universe and the franchise is past-due for a true overhaul - Which for me, basically means pretending Halo 1 - 3, ODST, and Wars never existed and just create a whole new game, FPS or not, using the Halo universe. I'm sick of seeing the developers obligate themselves to keep similar mechanics in the newer games because that's what sold so well. I think Bungie is on safeground for trying out something new. Halo is turning out to be the First person shooter guitar hero whore-out of the decade.

@Caffeine Knight: That has to be the dumbest anti-Halo comment I've ever read.

You're so blinded by any kind of news of Halo that couldn't realize the typing error in the article: horde mode in Gears teams five players together. Just for the record. I share point by point the opinion of Caffeine Knight: Halo is obsolete (no hate, just what I think)

@froman46992
First off: Breathe.

Secondly: All corporations want your money. Do you really think Microsoft are more greedy than Sony or Nintendo? If so then congratulations; you're a tool of media oppression.

Thirdly: Halo is hardly the most over-milked franchise in the world, least of all the videogame world.

There have been four iterations of Halo games: Halo 1-3 and Halo Wars.

Now count out to me how many Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Megaman, Bomberman, Tetris, Puzzle Bobble, Mario, Metal Gear, Dead or Alive, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Zelda, Metroid, Tomb Raider, Madden, FIFA, Need for Speed, Burnout, Gran Turismo and Dragon Quest titles there are, to name but a few franchises that far exceed the number of titles under the Halo banner.

Bungie should be applauded for having the guts to take the series in a different direction, when they could have simply released another Master Chief title.

Although I agree with you that it would be interesting to see what Bungie could develop next and whether or not they choose other formats, another Halo game is not the worst thing in the world to do. Bungie will finish with Halo when it chooses to, and we just have to trust that they don't pull a Lucas and dilute the current quality of the franchise with asinine sequels.

@Tarvu: Another FPS? Damn, I was hoping for something like Battlefront 3 too!

@CaptainBus i have a grudge against microsoft that starts with how i got my first computer so me hating them is super bias hahah and my xbox live and over all xbox experience,and i say halo is milked due to the fact its sorta being microsofts one trick pony,the story has been lacking to, but i guess you made me realize im over reacting because mario is the same way for nintendo but yet they still integrate creativity to the franchise and halo to me has been relied on too much its still an fps like 1-3 and with the same boring story when games like ratchet and clank has i think 6 titles and still stays fresh but maybe im really bias toward the situation, also most milked franchise hands down guitar hero :p, not saying odst will be bad i actually was looking forward to it. it looks like what halo 3 should have been but with the announcement of reach im skeptical if this is going anywhere new soon. thanks for the respectable reply i appreciate it.

@sexualchoclate

I hope to god you're being sarcastic.

Oh and BTW the Master Chief wordplay won't really piss off the actual fans of the series. Any Halo lover that isnt a frat boy or a 12 year old pre-pubescent idiot that jacks it to Cortana refers to him as John or 117, not his rank.

@Sexualchocolate
You're funny to laugh at, like a cat who gets angry when it hears another cat on a TV, so in that sense I missed you.

If you guys are stupid like me and can't get a reach beta code cuz you didn't get ODST the they have them here: hrbetazone.tk
