Forums - Microsoft - what is halo:reach?

Mendicate Bias on 01 June 2009

It takes place just before Halo:CE and is the story of the destruction of humanities most powerful military world as well as the defeat of every last spartan except the Master Chief. Reach is also the planet that all the Spartans grew up and trained on, the shot in the trailer is the covenant glassing the surface.



                                           

                      The definitive evidence that video games turn people into mass murderers

It will be awesome. Just like Halo 3 and each Halo before it. We should find out more gameplay details in the near future since beta invitations are included with ODST.

If your at all interested in the Halo story I highly recomend the novels Halo: Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike

The Halo universe actually has a deep back story with many fans but most casual players no nothing of this since they mostly play the multiplayer.

I disagree.  I didn't found the story that special in the first Halo 3 games.  I have posted before that the book Fall of reach is really a must read because it gives so much more information about the Halo universe and even was very interesting. 

Conclusion.  Halo: Reach will be more awesome than the first three Halo's =p.

I never said anything about the story.  Multiplayer has always been Halo's strong point.  And that is what makes each and every Halo game so far, awesome.
