Halo: Reach supports user-generated content

E4G: At Comic-Con a panel of Bungie staff reveal new Firefight and Forge additions for their upcoming title Halo: Reach.

TheColbertinator5446d ago

Sounds good to me.Hope I can customize weapons too.I want to create a sniper rifle that shoots anti-vehicle grenade rounds.Useful for those damn ghost spammers.

dkblackhawk505446d ago

That would be awesome to have custom weapons. Mine would be a shotgun and sniper mix :D

mmoracerules5446d ago

Sniper Needler style for me!

dkblackhawk505446d ago

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. Would be cheap though ;)

mmoracerules5446d ago

Nah, would be fun cheap for me, you have got to give me the credit :P

GWAVE5446d ago

Halo has always been about customization. It's one of its strongest points.

Now, I'm not expecting "Halo Big Planet", but I think if Reach really takes FPS customization to the next level I will eat humble pie and give it a chance.

Kingdom Come5446d ago

You've been a lot more mature lately, I like that :) Keep it up, if only other people could follow suit, then N4 G woul be a much nicer place...

FragMnTagM5446d ago

I can't believe I actually gave you a bubble. Props for not being a troll like usual. I would love to see more people talk instead of complain about ridiculous crap all the time. Keep it up and I will make sure you get out of your 1 bubble man.

something like the forge but more indept would b cool

reach is def gearing up to b the game to get for 360 owners.

thor5446d ago

I'm not sure weapon customization is a good thing. It puts focus on the individual rather than the team and the dynamics of the game. You can't fight against someone based on their weaknesses, because they could have customized any weapon to fight you with. They will also spawn with this amazing weapon and so the most powerful weapons in the game are given to you at the start.

mmoracerules5446d ago

Glad to see that Bungie supports user generated content :D

dkblackhawk505446d ago

Yep, its the community that makes the killer maps :P (Bungie does make good ones, but it is nice to see what the community can do)

BuIIetproofish_5446d ago

That's why its the only FPS I'll get 2010 or 2011.

PimpHandHappy5446d ago

but

i love the idea of this.... Imagine 100's of maps at your finger tips...

ic4ruz5446d ago

We PC gamers have had this since the 90's.......

Cueil5446d ago

brings back memories of the really crappy map editors for Quake 2

PimpHandHappy5446d ago

not much a PC gamer... i like my Total War games and RTS's but when it comes 2shooters i never liked PC

gamingisnotacrime5446d ago

Cant wait, i ordered my ODST copy and the Live subscription in order to get ready for the inevitable blockbuster Reach will be.

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.

robtion902d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad902d ago

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

Crows90902d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183902d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90902d ago (Edited 902d 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.

DarXyde902d 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

Crows90901d 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.

DarXyde901d 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.

TheColbertinator902d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13902d 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

shinoff2183901d 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_looken987d 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.

SullysCigar986d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos986d 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_ESP987d ago

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

just_looken987d 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.

badz149987d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE987d 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.

zidane1341986d 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.

Crows90986d 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.

Profchaos986d 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

Crows90986d 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.

CobraKai986d 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.
