Yesterday we got dropped that image of a Bungie forums search menu, which tipped something called "Halo: Reach." Such things are easily faked, and I couldn't run it down. Well, now someone's found a cache of since-deleted Bungie forum posts on this subject.

As you can see, for a brief time there was a forum for something called "Halo: Reach." A 2001 novel called "Halo: The Fall of Reach" is official, canonical, and functions as the prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. It was also the basis for a spec script Stuart Beattie wrote for a Halo movie. Also, back in September, Phil Spencer indicated four Halo "things" were in development, two being Halo Wars, the Halo: Chronicles project said to be linked to Peter Jackson. A third can be assumed to be Halo 3: ODST, announced about a month after that interview. So is Halo: Reach the fourth thing?

The anonymous guy who gave us the search menu image yesterday claimed Halo: Reach is slated for Fall 2010, and this forum plus an ODST forum will go live June 1. Take that with a truckload of salt, but I guess it could point to an E3 announce for this Reach thing.

The site Skoar! has posted links to cached forum posts, on Bungie.net, referencing the slip-up. I took a screen shot (below) in case the cache has been cleared out by the time you read this. There's also discussion of it on Halo.Bungie.Org.

Which will be a long time by the looks of it.

There's enough Halo fanboys in this world to stack them on top of each other and make a living ladder to the moon - Might as well take advantage and hog their money.

will i have to read the novel to make sense of everything in this game?

Probably not. The fall of Reach happened directly before the Pillar of Autumn discovered Halo. It took a random slipspace path after it was obvious the Covenant won and managed to stumble upon Installation 04 (Alpha Halo) purely by chance.

If I remember correctly from when I read the book, there were a number of Spartans on Reach and it is believed most of them died there, although I don't think that has been clearned up yet.

I also really doubt that Bungie will only appeal this game to those who have read the books. Most of what you need to know should be explained in cutscenes, ect should this game be real.

Halo > * :hump:

I must agree with you, at least in the realm of FPS games. They are absolutely my favorites. I remember playing and loving the first on my PC way back when.

The cow is dry by now. Since the second game there is only powdered milk. The first one wasnt even that good, in my opinion.

Your kidding right? ODST would be the 4th "shooter" in the series and that isn't even out yet. Try Activision or EA...

I ratter have Valve or the defuncts Looking Glass or Ion Storm (The Warren Spector wing, not Romero's).

Juste because there are worst shooters doesnt make Halo a good one, again in my opinion. "Inclution by Exclution" doesnt work here for me.

You quoted me but did completely ignored what I said. I am not trying to convince that Halo is good and change your opinion; nowhere did I say any of that so please just settle down.

It's going to happen, remember all that butthurt Bungie threw around last E3 when MS stopped them announcing something? Definitely wasn't Halo Wars.

Probably co-made by Bungie/MS, fall release. Or is that when OSDT hits? I'm not sure, I don't follow Halo. Isn't OSDT more of an expansion pack?
