Halo: Reach Multiplayer Tease

IGN: Bungie loves to tease us. Countdowns are its forte. Weekly updates with snippets of hints that could mean anything are common. In fact, just today we got another near meaningless hint in the studio's weekly update. It seems the team has recently gone through a group-wide multiplayer play test. Naturally, nobody is willing to talk about it. Those expecting something new for Halo: Reach's multiplayer, however, might have reason to get excited.

Tease- "to irritate or provoke with persistent petty distractions, trifling raillery, or other annoyance, often in sport."

sounds about right

1.5 - Milking?

Three REAL Halo games in 8 years, and that is milking? I don't think anybody really considers Halo Wars anything more than a way to make an RTS, except for people who want to get upset about a successful franchise.

Oh my god, what are they going to do next, re-release all of the Halo games together in one set? Oops, sorry, that is God of War 3. Which the first one came out in 2005... just sayin'...

I have high expectations for Reach, if only for them to provide something new and unique beyond the standard Halo mechanics we have seen so far. They need to raise the bar again... and the only way I can see that happening is if they introduce some hybrid style of game play no one else has gotten right yet.

Maybe that will be some sort of MMO-ish structure... or an RTS-ish structure blended with the trademark Halo mechanics. Either way, don't kid yourself into thinking Bungie will just let the Halo name sell this. Microsoft might be willing to, but Bungie knows better...

Just how much better can they make the graphics? Bungie hasn't been known for pushing the visual envelope. And though, I don't really care about graphics, Halo's multiplayer has remained consistently similar each iteration, so unless they make a drastic change in gameplay, then all I can imagine Reach being (in it's multiplayer mode) is a graphically better version of Halo 2 & 3. I really want to see screens.

they are using a totally different engine than they used with halo 3, odst and i think halo 2 and they have been working on reach since the release of halo 3...so graphics wise is all up in the air with what they can possibly do

as for gameplay...it has changed a bit, from original CE, to dual welding, car jacking, new grenades and weapons in halo 2, to equipement more weapons, and more vehicles in halo 3...but also, why change a gameplay that was IMO very well balanced and enjoyable?

and yes, i too, at the very least would love to see some screens, or even a teaser trailer of cgi about what it is actually about (before, during or after the fall of reach i mean, IF fall of reach has anything to do with it)

4.2 - Actually...

Yes, Bungie HAS been known for pushing the graphics envelope. In 2001, Halo was THE best looking game available. When Halo 2 came out in 2004, it took the graphics to another level. When Halo 3 came out, again, the graphics were the best available. They certainly haven't aged well since ODST looks like Halo 3, but Bungie has not been slacking in that department.

Relax fellas. I've played Combat Evolved. Even in 2001 it was not the best thing out there. I thought Halo 2 graphics were great, but again, I'm talking about pushing the envelope. In 2007 when Halo 3 came out, it didn't look as good as Gears of War, which came out in 2006, so Halo 3 was not the best looking game in 2007. And as for ODST, I thought it looked better, but the problem at that point is art style. By using the same color palette and vehicle designs, Bungie is essentially giving us the same visual experience each time but with slightly better lighting and texture resolutions. So, I hope Bungie departs from the bright blues and purples and makes a grittier game with Reach. Art style should be different, story should be a bit more character-centric rather than plot-centric.

I say, don't break what works, but I do agree that it's time Bungie moved forward with something new.

But I don't want to see drastic changes, like some games make. Sometimes sequels in some games are indistinguishable from their predecessors. THAT is "milking" the name for a completely different game... so much more than Halo does.

indeed. i loved halo 2, was meh about halo 3 (and so was unsurprising that 2 years later i'm v meh about ODST)

but i really can't wait for more info on this. i'm hoping this turns out to be the game next halo game that imo should have been the first on the 360 (if that makes sense lol)

wouldn't surprise me if we don't hear much info for some time though. and actually whens the Reach beta due or is it just 'sometime in 2010'

7 - If this Halo actually stays true to it's own cannon.

It will be good. The books are better than the games. So if they use the actual books to make this game. It will be way more awesome and they might even put in a class system since all of the Spartans specialized in one or two areas. Except chief, he was like a handy man. lol

Brian Jarrard said it's "possible" we get something like screens before Christmas as a nice little present from Bungie. And they were going over the next promotional material for Reach in a meeting yesterday, so there's a little more possibility.

nothing floats the 360 boat like Halo, but Gears, Mass Effect, Splinter Cell help out. Halo is milked, but not too much more than top IP at Nintendo and maybe Sony.

If Halo was on the Playstation 3 360 fans wouldn't care for it but its not and they worship the overhyped franchise. If I was to buy a 360 it would be for a more deserving game like Gears of War or Fable not Halo, but hey i dont blame bungie if they can make the same game over and over and it sales 8 million more power/money to them. stay tuned for Halo 6 "master chief gets a S** change"

Meanwhile... There have been 3 halo games, a DLC disc, and a Halo RTS not developed by Bungie.
