New Halo Reach Add-on Coming ‘Very Soon’

thesixthaxis: "While checking out the latest inside Xbox videos on the dashboard tonight, I stumbled across Major Nelson’s ‘top games of 2010′ video. Major talked about the most played games of 2010 in a few different categories, but when discussing the retail list, he said something interesting."

I'd much rather see a single player expansion over a new map pack.

HarryMonogenis4849d ago

Ermm.. you DID play the single-player, right? You die. How can they carry that on? Bungie said that they were satisfied with the ending of Reach -- that's why there wasn't a Legendary ending.

Echo3074849d ago

Halo 3 had a solid ending too, and then we got ODST.

It doesn't have to follow the same story.

HarryMonogenis4849d ago

@Echo307 But this is regarding downloadable content -- unless he isn't talking about DLC. If so I apologize.

FailOverHero4849d ago

Lol maybe he wants to play Halo Heaven

Echo3074849d ago

No, I don't think he is but even ODST was originally supposed to be an add-on to Halo 3.

It's highly unlikely this is anything but a MP/Firefight expansion, I'm just saying that it's possible. Look at BioShock 2 and Minerva's Den. Single player expansion that had nothing to do with the original story.

Blacktric4849d ago

Halo 3 had a solid ending? How? Master Chief and Cortana was drifting to some unknown planet (called Legendary Planet by fans) at the end of the game. Sure, we saw the ending of the war and peace agreement between Covenant and humans but that doesn't change the fact that there's still one giant mystery left.

Echo3074849d ago (Edited 4849d ago )

@Blacktric

You didn't even get to see that part until you beat it on Legendary which means it wasn't prevalent enough for anyone but the die-hards to see. Halo 3 had a solid ending. The Halo universe is about more than just Master Chief. All they did there was leave an opening for a spin off for the Master Chief character. The Halo story ended right there.

dragonelite4849d ago

Im all up for a halo Ce remake in reach engine dlc heck i would pay $40 for it if it was a standalone expansion.

Great. More halo Reach adds on my dashboard

Hands Up For Games4849d ago

343 stated that Bungie are committed to do producing 2 more Map Packs for Reach.

Happy Days!!

FormidableOne4849d ago

I think it's a safe bet to say it's Map Pack DLC - but we can/have been surprised by Bungie before. Personally - I'm not going to hold my breath though.

lynch4849d ago

id love if the brought back.. The Pit, Construct, or Guardian or at least similar maps not big team maps

m234849d ago

Bungie already said that they wouldn't be making any single player addons so that's not it. Most likely it's a new map pack or maybe even new armor. They have been talking about some updates coming this month as well as next month in the Bungie weekly update.

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.

robtion499d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad499d ago

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

Crows90499d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183499d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90499d ago (Edited 499d 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.

DarXyde499d 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

Crows90498d 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.

DarXyde498d 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.

TheColbertinator499d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13499d 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

shinoff2183498d 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_looken584d 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.

SullysCigar584d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos583d 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_ESP584d ago

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

just_looken584d 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.

badz149584d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE584d 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.

zidane1341584d 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.

Crows90583d 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.

Profchaos583d 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

Crows90583d 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.

CobraKai583d 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.
