E3: Halo 3: ODST dated, Reach confirmed News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

1 June, 2009

Bungie has confirmed that it’s working on Halo: Reach, due in 2010, in addition to Halo 3: ODST, which has been dated for 22nd September.

People who buy ODST will also get access to the Reach multiplayer beta.

ODST’s new co-operative game mode, Firefight, will be shown off at E3 this week.

Creative director Joe Staten showed a section of New Mombasa set three weeks before Halo 3 during an on-stage demo.

But all eyes will be on Reach, or what there is of it to look at – a trailer with talk of an “in-station slipspace ruption”, “winter contingency”, “Mobile One”, “Sierra 259” and so on.

We’re seeing Halo 3: ODST tomorrow, so we’ll let you know when we know more.

LOL. It is feeling that way isn't it! I know I'll likely still purchase them all, though I haven't quite managed Halo Wars yet (too much else to play, and the demo was uninspiring; will pick up on the cheap one day).

Milked it my arse. The Halo series (along with modern combat) are the best shooters on console, you can never have too much of a good thing.

Bungie after every Halo game released: "We're moving onto something else now."

Yeah, sure.

Ha ha, exactly what I thought when I heard about Halo: Reach. I do think MS are over-milking the franchise; Reach will be the third game in less than two years if it's out late 2010.

Seems except for L4D2, Halo ODST... and Forza, most exclusives are coming 2010, pretty poor 2009 for MS by the looks of things.

To quote a comment that is already available on the Net:

Halo 3: Finish The Fight!

Halo Reach: Start Another Fight!

Still, good news I guess, for Halo fans.

Personally, I didn't think too much of H3, but I guess that's just me.

Kojima milks MGS more and you all laugh.

Bungie milks Halo more and you all cry.

Think its all a matter of opinion here. Of course companies are going to keep making something if theres a chance it'll make them a shitload of money.

/sigh at comments

In terms of milking, Halo hasn't quite reached the epic proportions of...ooo, most other franchises. Halo 3 was the culmination of that particular storyline, i.e. finish the fight, hence the others are....amazingly....from other stories! good lord!

I wonder if Bungie are also working on a non-Halo title.

Makeamazing you nob head, throw in Splinter Cell conviction and you have 4 AAA exclusives this year, thats as good as any exclusive lineup I can remember. Halo in september, Forza October, SC Conviction and L4D2 in november, nob head.

Seriously don't think Splinter Cell has been considered AAA for many years now.

Fantastic! I can't get enough Halo. It's still my very favourite campaign shooter.

I think Modern warfare still has the edge in multiplayer but Halo is peerless in single player or co-op in my opinion.

Also if 'firefight' is the new horde mode for Halo then that will simply be the single greatest thing in the entire universe.

September cannot come fast enough!

Now I'm no Halo Fan, but six games from a franchise that started in 2001 is not exactly milking it.

Halo 1,2 and 3 are part of the same story, Halo Wars is totally unrelated, ODST is a different story, And I don't know about Reach really.

If you want to complain about milking, See Mario.

Excellent news.

Reach - what is it exactly, SP? MP? If it's MP, I'll pass. SP, otoh, when can I preorder?

Was there there not rumours last year that Recon (as it was then) was going to be a ghost recon type 3rd person shooter about a squad of marines. Looking at the group of spartan looking people at the bottom of the Reach pic on bungies website I'm going to say that was Reach and Recon/ODST is the halo3/COD4 1 hit kills version. Sounds good.
