Halo Reach to abandon multiplayer roots?

Sarcasticgamer.com blows the lid off of Halo Reach after careful scrutiny of the Halo Reach teaser pics that very well may show that the multiplayer might be totally different from other Halo games.

From the article: "Halo Reach is the next and supposedly last Halo game made by Bungie. Slated for next fall, this Halo tale, if Wikipedia serves me well, should feature or at least end with the Fall of Reach and feature some massive battles filled with more than just one Spartan. This fact alone has the fanboys in a tizzy, even while their blood lust for anything Halo is currently being satiated by Halo 3: ODST.

Not a whole heck of a lot is known about the final Halo game from Bungie, but I've got a juicy nugget and I think it's gold. Find out everything you need to know about Halo Reach, after the jump."

hmm...might be right about it being a class based multiplayer system .

SixZeroFour5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

the only problem that i see with it being a class system adn featuring the master cheif now is that in this class based system i would think that they would make master cheif the "assault" type and have him weilding only assualt weapons such as the battle rifle or assault rifle...when we already know he uses every weapon and singling him out to only be able to use those weapons wouldnt make much sense (if they do go this route) anyways, with that out of the way, i wouldnt see why this wouldnt be a class based game

right to left of halo:reach photo (speculation)

linda is the snipers expert...so sniper primary and pistol secondary

fred specializes with combat knife...(not sure what class based category he fits into...maybe some sort or stealth like the article suggests) assault primary and pistol (and/or knife) secondary

john (master cheif)...good with any weapon (class based, so most likely pick any 2 weapons?) 2 assault weapons

kelly...medic (recovers fairly quickly herself) also considerably faster than the rest, so she can get to you to preform medic faster i guess...prolly only get to use 2 light weapons in game tho

sam (only cause he was a head taller than master cheif and the one in the picture is pretty tall)...not based on his specialty but because of the picture i would think he would ba a heavy weapons expert (ie rocket launcher, spartan laser, etc)

jhoang5469d ago

I like the class base more because it brings more strategy to the game.but will it be all spartans or marines?

ZombieAutopsy5469d ago

I would very much like a class based halo mp, would be nice if it was just a type of playlist though and kept the original way intact too.

TheDeadMetalhead5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

Halo needs a change. I really didn't care for Halo 3's multiplayer. It wasn't necessarily BAD, but it's been outdone by so many other games (Resistance, Kilzone 2 and Team Fortress 2, just to name a few). It really hasn't changed much since the PC version of Halo: CE, and the 16-player P2P connection is really showing its age.

I like the idea of class-based multiplayer. It would definitely add some much-needed strategy to the game. I'll try the beta when it's out.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion632d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad632d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90632d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183632d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90632d ago (Edited 632d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde632d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90631d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde631d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator632d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13632d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183631d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken717d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar717d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos716d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP717d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken717d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149717d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE717d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341717d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90717d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos716d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90716d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai716d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
