Halo: ODSTisn’t even out the door and most likely won’t be for a few solid months, but you can’t keep a giant, billion dollar making franchise down. Since we all need something new to look forward to (or complain about, depending on your feelings towards the extension of theHaloseries without Bungie) a new hint is available as to what is coming next. Members of theHaloforum sent the above screen grab over toKotakuand as you can seeHalo: Reachwas at some point listed as a game to discuss. Back up the image is a cache that was found showing that the forum did in fact exist at some point.
Now, on with the wild speculation! If you’re a trueHalonerd, or just like reading sci-fi you know that in 2001 a canonicalHalobook titledHalo: The Fall of Reachcame out. It was a prequel to the first game and narrated the story of Master Chief and the SPARTAN II super soldier, of which Master Chief was one. The book hadbeen hinted atas also being inspiration for one version of the plethora of versions of the script for the defunctHalomovie.
With this info in mind, and knowing that Microsoft is going to whore outHaloforever, here’s the dream scenario:Halo: Reachis the new Peter Jackson directed movie, with a tie-in game created by Bungie who secretly haven’t left the series, and just wanted to suprise us all. Also, pigs flying have been sighted over Norway.
