ToXiCRalN Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Console RTS fans will be disappointed to know Bungie's upcoming Halo: Reach project will in fact be a first-person shooter. Gaming blog Joystiq got word of this important detail when they asked Microsoft Corporate Vice President John Schappert. Schappert simply proclaimed "Of course it's an FPS." Perhaps this means Microsoft is done experimenting with the Halo franchise and will be keeping everything FPS from here on out?

antnie Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It will probably be based before halo 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripperpuppy Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) yes. Reach was the birthplace of the Spartan-II project and was the local for the most significant human-covenant war. took place in August of 2552. And yes, Master Chief was there =]. It was actually the 'supposed' last battle for the Spartans, but as we know John-117 gets away, making a blind slipspace jump, and ends up next to Halo. Basically the battle on reach set-up all of the story and events for the halo trilogy. The teaser says you know how it ends because, well, we do. this battle is what gave the cov's an upper hand and strength. Reach was basically destroyed and plasma'd to hell by cov ships.

InkedUp Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If this will be close to the books, I don't think it will even have the Master Chief in it. I think it will be based on the other Spartans fighting on Reach around the same time Master Chief sets out and discovers the first ring. If you have read the books, you should have a good idea of what I'm talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun-Nut Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I can't believe how many sites had this as news! Have Bungie made anything that is not an FPS? and even if they have its pretty obvious Halo is going to stay a FPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have read the books, you should have a good idea of what I'm talking about Have you even read the books you're speaking of? Master Chief, was on Reach with the rest of them, except he wasn't known as Master Chief, because he wasn't the only one left. Spartan 117, John, is Master Chief. Also Reach and the first ring didn't happen side by side, Reach is a prequel to the Halo trilogy. Edited June 6, 2009 by Incoherently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Bugs Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 A halo RPG game would have been sick. Yeah that would be awesome, but I think I'll be happy with the free-roam FPS style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlugInBaby Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I was hoping for a bungie venture into third person shooters, but FPS is a safe bet I guess with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincychaos Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) The game will take parts from the books Reach and First Strike (source). Seems like we might be able to play as the other Spartans and maybe Chief so I'm still wondering if it will have a Rainbow 6 feel Edited June 23, 2009 by cincychaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Boredom Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I was hoping it would be an RPG as well. If Bungie doesn't want to move on from the Halo franchise, I would at least like to see them take it to other genres. Who knows, maybe Reach will be a different type of FPS than the trilogy.

Bearded Bugs Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If Bungie wanted this to be not a FPS then they would've sent it to another company. Why? Bungie have made good games that aren't FPS before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Boredom Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If Bungie wanted this to be not a FPS then they would've sent it to another company. I'm guessing you never played Myth or Myth II. Bungie is more than capable of making a game outside of the FPS genre. Halo Wars proved that the Halo universe could be applied to the RTS genre, and seeing it become an RPG would have been awesome, even if it turned out to be a lot like Mass Effect.

Yeah I know Bungie makes other games. But the main point is after Bungie went and sell the ownership of Halo to Microsoft. Microsoft seems to use Bungie to make FPS and use other companies to make the otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Microsoft would see any point in commissioning Bungie to make anything other than Halo games for now, they're great games which sell a lot of copies.
