I didn't care for Halo 1/2/3/ODST much. But I want this. No Master Chief but a group of Spartans instead, less macho marines, and a female character (Kat, iirc) that isn't an AI.

Sure Microsoft, Halo Reach will be bigger than Bioshock 2, God of War 3, Mass Effect 2, and Starcraft 2.

Yeah Right.

Ijyt.

I love Halo, but these pompous exec's are gonna eat their words.
I saw the trailer, and quite frankly, I wasn't impressed.
Looked like Gears of War meets the Spartans, and the return of the mute protagonist.

Not to mention it shit over all the great canon set up in the prequel book.

Halo: Reach takes the legacy of Halo's rich multiplayer gameplay to an entirely new level, delivering experiences that we think old and new players alike will enjoy for years to come.
Translation: We're going to copy the Call of Duty perks and experience system.
don't jump to that conclusion, bungiee wouldn't go down that road at all, they acctualy listen to the fans and do something about it, well...more than any other developer does.

saying that Halo will copy COD's multi-player is bull. they are coming up with something completely different.

what happened to halo 3 being the final game?? Now I have to see Halo board games in stores as well as comics and novels? by now i think a lot of people lost interest. They should just make 'Marathon' already.
That's why Halo Wars, Halo: ODST and Halo: reach are all prequels =) so the fight has finished =)

have you ever played a halo game may i ask? =)

Actually, As far as the storyline of Halo goes, It goes something like this:

Halo Wars
Halo Reach goes here!
Halo 1
Halo 2
Halo: ODST
Halo 3

So really it's just another prequel.
This coming from someone who reads the books. That's why they said Halo 3 would be the final game (insert finger quotes here) For the storrrrry. As far as my opinion goes the story is good, the gameplay.... isn't great, but isn't bad either. Hopefully they'll improve it with Reach.

It'll outsell God Of War 3 basic math will tell you that. More 360 owners than PS3 owners = more sales. Regardless of how jaded people are of Halo they'll still snap it up like hotcakes.

Mass Effect 2 will still be GotY for mine.

You gotta give him credit though. He only said biggest, not best so he's not a complete dipshit.

Look, unless I can play craps against a Ghoul as I am sure I will be able to in Fallout: New Vegas I will steadily ignore this game. Perhaps I may rent it if I take a week off from work to destroy New Vegas. (And subsequently need something to kill a long weekend...)

You better. There are enough Halo fanboys out there to make that happen, which makes me cold and sad inside.

Although I would looooove to see them eat their own words.
I'm right beside you dude.
