Forums - Gaming - What is Halo Reach and why does it matter?

What the heck is Halo Reach, and why does it matter?  If it is an entire planet as a dynamic battlefield and epic planetary battles, which mixes Halo Wars with regular Halo, and involves leveling up and gaining stats, and possibly running the entire planet, and managing its operations, then that is interesting.  But, if it is just ODST in another time period, with limited battles, why should I be interested? 

I am seeing people say it is a lock for over 10 million in sales.   Exactly why?  Anyone have any ideas what it will be outside of yet another Halo title? ODST and Halo Wars haven't topped Halo 3, so I am curious why Reach should.

It's a new Halo FPS.

This will probably be the best Halo game out of the lot.

Read the book.

Halo ODST is an "expansion" to Halo 3. Halo Wars is an RTS.



                            

Halo: Reach is based on the Halo book, the Fall of Reach, which depicts the events that happened that caused the Pillar of Autumn to flee into hyperspace.

Fantastic book, so I don't see why anyone who liked it wouldn't be looking forward to the game.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Because it is a standalone Halo prequel made by Bungie? That pretty much sums it up right there.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Because it's Bungie's BIG project.
ODST was meant to be an expansion and then they added some more content.

Halo Reach was in development since Halo 3 release.

The book was awesome and you're not the only Spartan fighting on Reach. And you're allowed to kill Elites again !!!!!!

Also, this is rumored to have 5 player co-op.

*jizz*



                            

{sigh}

HALO ODST = expansion pack.....baically like a GT5:prologue, but kind of a epilogue if you get what I mean

HALO Wars = RTS......nuff said

HALO Reach = The swan song for bungie & a FULL HALO release

Yeah in one of those leaked pictures there was something thathinted at it, il find the link, 2mins...



                            

I don't see this doing 10 million. Period. EVERYONE bought Halo 3. Everyone has to try it. But not everyone who bought halo 3 liked it. The fans are always going to buy a halo game. But Halo fans don't number in the 10 millions. A halo fan would also have bought ODST and it will at least do those sales, even more because it was only an expansion. But I don't see it doing substantionally better then ODST's final numbers.

That being said. I expect it to be much better then Halo 3. But I expect less people to care.
