Halo: Reach is Releasing in Standard, Limited, and Legendary

PlanetXbox360.com just got word from a top-secret friend of ours that works in retail that the biggest Xbox 360 release of 2010 will be coming in three unique editions, Halo Reach; once again Bungie and Microsoft will be releasing a standard, limited, and legendary version of the sci-fi first person shooter. Which version will you be buying when Reach releases later this year? No more details were available at this time, stay tuned!

Im not surprised. Big games like this usually have various editions e.g MW2, GOW3, DMC3. Hopefully in the most expensive edition a cool Spartan Helmet?

edgeofblade5113d ago

Not sure what I'm doing with this one. If it's a Spartan-3 helmet, that's not nearly as iconic...

mittwaffen5113d ago

They might give you something to go out with a bang; something as neat as the NVG from MW2?

drewboy7045113d ago

Maybe they'll top infinity ward with a spartan helmet that has built in night vision. I'm starting to save right now.

Arnon5113d ago

If they give us a life-sized assault rifle in the Legendary Edition, or any life sized weapon for that matter, I'm sold.

4Sh0w5113d ago

All I really care about is playiing the game, Reach looks like its going to be a beast.

8thnightvolley5113d ago

i dont see how this is surprising coz its only normal for this to happen..

Halo: Reach is Releasing in Sub-HD, Standard, Limited, and Legendary

avengers19785113d ago

Haven't all the 360 Halo games done this.
They sell well so why not.

otherZinc5112d ago

I'll pre-order 2 Legendary copies.
I'll also buy a Halo:Reach console for my daughter, if they make one.

Zeal0t5112d ago

Legendary for me because i'm a sucker for limited, special and collector's editions.

princejb1345113d ago

might as well release a spartan edition to

Tiberium5113d ago

I hope they release 360 bundle as well.

MexicanAppleThief5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

Yeah they will. I can see it now; 250gb hardrive, 2 controllers and a copy of Reach. Hopefully they'll include a years worth of xbox live.

PepperJack5113d ago

i won't be buying any version lol, i'm sick to death of halo. i just hope that the rip off versions come with something good for once for the people who wanna buy it

MexicanAppleThief5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

Well I wouldnt say that Halo Reach would suck because Bungie is going all out for this game. Looks pretty epic if you ask me.

However when this franchise passes on to 343 Industries, I'd imagine it would be far less quality due to being made by a completly new developer soley created to pump out Halo games. I'd imagine it would go through like the Guitar hero franchise, once great but now stale and oversaturated.

Of course this is all just a theory, I could easily be wrong.

edgeofblade5113d ago

I'm sure we've been over this before. If you are just coming here to hate on Halo, I'll be the lightning rod for the rest of the gaming community and tell you that we, collectively, do not care. Your commentary won't stop us from enjoying Halo games, nor will your comments stop the inevitable earth shaking sales for Halo Reach.

I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

-Alpha5113d ago

I can't get enough of Halo, especially considering it's a quality series from a quality dev group.

I avoided Halo Wars and ODST, but have played #1 and 3, so maybe I'm not as saturated to the series as you are.

Good games will never tire me. Mario games today still have amazing quality and there's a good reason for that.

MexicanAppleThief5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

I agree Halo franchise is epic, all my chums play it and Reach will be the first Halo game I'll have. I'm getting my first xbox 360 cos of it! (waiting for the 250 gb bundle).

Besides, you did a good thing avoiding Wars and ODST, they're nothing more than a average RTS and xbla game with a tacked on survival respectivley.

STICKzophrenic5113d ago

So stay out of Halo articles, PJ. It's as simple as that.

There are plenty of other games that have been milked more than Halo, which hasn't even been milked. For anyone to even compare Halo to the Guitar Hero series is really ignorant.

GH first released in 2005, and has had about 20 releases in that time period.

Halo: CE released in 2001 and has had FIVE releases, and that's including Halo Wars, which wasn't even made by Bungie.

Seriously, please get a clue before making such dumb statements.

Back on topic, I'll be getting the Legendary Edition. I love getting collectible stuff for games that are awesome. I just hope that boxart for the LE isn't final. The standard edition boxart looks so much better.

-Alpha5113d ago

Please post more often, you rarely are around.

You want to buy me a Legendary Edition? McRich Pants. I'll have to settle for the standard version. Buying a 360 itself has put a major dent in my wallet so now I have to tread carefully. All I see myself getting this year is 3D Dot Heroes and Reach. Maybe something for Christmas but I'm broke as all hell.

Feel stupid too hearing all the rumor of a 360 price drop.

Anyways, add me on XBL man, would love to play some games with u.

Just like every other special edition if it doesn't offer something extra in-game then I'll pass.

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.

robtion474d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad475d ago

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

Crows90475d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183474d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90474d ago (Edited 474d 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.

DarXyde474d 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

Crows90474d 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.

DarXyde474d 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.

TheColbertinator474d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13474d 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

shinoff2183474d 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_looken559d 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.

SullysCigar559d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos559d 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_ESP559d ago

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

just_looken559d 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.

badz149559d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE559d 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.

zidane1341559d 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.

Crows90559d 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.

Profchaos559d 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

Crows90559d 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.

CobraKai559d 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.
