I think at least some people would try it, at first, anyway.

I honestly don’t think any Halo player would play a Halo MMMO. MMO’s are fun. Halo is fun. But when you put them together. You get something that just wouldn’t feel right.

Not everyone would be a spartan. Most likely people would be spartans in the way people were Jedi in SW: Galaxies.

Which tells you all you need to know.

I’m actually wondering if it’s supposed to be set in the distant past, like Forerunner times. It would make sense if everyone played a Forerunner character that was mega powerful like the Spartans.

I think it would be a complete failure. They would make money from title alone, but it would SUCK.

As a reader of the books, you cant make it an MMO. Imagine even if it was like WOW, Covenant vs. Humans. You CANT have everyone become a spartan…how stupid. In book terms a spartan would be better than any class. Plus its like “Hell yea lvl 34 I finally can use a battle rifle!”

XD Just look at the screens!!!

It might have been a fun idea, but not as succcessful, I think.

But I don’t see that it coming out would have been a bad thing. We always complain about no one trying anything new and this is not new, but different.

Most likely, it was MS trying to cash in on WOW and Halo at the same time. Bad idea, you’re right.
