How long has Bungie been working on Halo Reach?
I remember when Halo Wars came out, people said it was a side project in the production of ODST, but now im hearing that ODST was a side project to Halo Reach. So does this mean Halo Wars and ODST are 2 side projects to Reach? If so how long have they [b]really[/b] been working on Reach?

Bungie said before Halo 3 shipped out that they were already working on their next project. Many thought it was ODST since it was announced but we later found out that ODST was a side project and it only took one year to make so, there is your answer.

By the release, it will have been a standard Bungie 3 year cycle. Halo Wars was not produced by Bungie. Bungie only collaborated for the story. Finally, ODST was a side project, yet

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hylebos As for actually working on the game, I'm guessing since before Halo 3 was released. Takes a while to make a new engine and prototype game mechanics.[/quote]

Halo always take 3 years to make. Longer than most games out there because bungie actually wants the game to be GOOD. Some games that take a year to make like Madden or CoD: WaW do not sit well with me at all. Games like Bioshock 2 are what I find acceptable in matter of how long it taking to make. Halo 3: ODST took a year to make by a small team and Bungie and it turned out pretty good. I still play it here and there when Halo 3 or CoD4 get boring. If ODST took a year to make and Halo : Reach is taking 3? Holy crap it better blow me away! [Edited on 11.05.2009 4:38 PM PST]

Long enough ;) x

They've probably been wanting to make a game about Reach for quite a while now. As for actually working on the game, I'm guessing since before Halo 3 was released. Takes a while to make a new engine and prototype game mechanics.

First of all, Halo Wars was commissioned by Microsoft and a couple people at Bungie gave a nudge here and there to Ensemble. Halo Wars was a completely different project altogether. While Reach has been worked on for 2-3 years. Then there's ODST as an extra Campaign and Firefight mode to tide us over until Fall 2010 with the added bonus of built-in Halo: Reach Multiplayer beta keys in all the Halo 3: ODST Campaign Discs via the Extras menu. ODST took a little under a year to make by a small group of people while everyone else was working on Reach and the unnamed IP being made at Bungie. After ODST was finished, everyone who worked on ODST joined back into the Reach group. They've been working on it ever since. [Edited on 11.05.2009 4:05 PM PST]

Go with 3-4 years. Right when they finished Halo 3 they jumped into Reach. Halo 3's release date isn't when they finished ;)

Since Halo 3 launched.

Just say around 3 years.
