E3 2009: Halo: Reach is a FPS

Featured 14 Comments 40 Votes 1441 Views 04/06/2009 Back to News Halo: Reach

In an interview with Joystiq, Microsoft Corporate Vice President John Schappert confirmed that Halo: Reach will indeed be a FPS.

"Of course it's a FPS", stated Schappert. As if any of us really thought otherwise!

It is a little bit of a disappointment that a new RTS wasn't announced for the franchise, considering how well Halo Wars was received both critically and commercially. It was somewhat of a surprise for everyone, proving that RTS games can indeed be done well on a console.

i think you mean that an RTS with "halo" in it's name does well

Meh, I don't care what type of genre it is, I'm just happy we're getting another Halo game.

I'm glad they're doing spin offs, not sequels... I'm thinking this will be a prequel to the Halo Trilogy (i.e. "you already know the end") and lol, I thought instantly this would be an RTS... guess not =D

So surprised they'd announce another Halo before ODST was out though...

I guess its like squeenix announcing FFXIV as being an MMO before their released eith XIII or versus. Plus as ODST is more of a spin off where as Reach will be a full blown game (IMO, of course)

Teh Ch33f will probably show up in Reach at some point, seeing as the novel takes place while he's going through training. He will probably be at the very end.

Sweet news, the Halo team should stick to what they do best, and that clearly is FPS, I personally thought Halo Wars was **** and hope they never make an RTS game again.

Halo Wars was good. BTW, Halo Wars was never made by Bungie. It was made by Ensemble.
