Halo: Reach takes series to a 'new level' - Microsoft

Halo: Reach can outsell the likes of God Of War III and Call Of Duty 7 to be 2010's biggest game on all formats, Microsoft has told CVG.

The platform holder told us today that the game takes the Halo series to an "entirely new level" - and that it is confident it will attract new players to the franchise.

Director of Xbox marketing Stephen McGill said:

"It's an exciting time for Halo fans and we're thrilled by the response from trailer shown at the VGAs last month which was phenomenal.

"Our hope for Halo: Reach is to be the biggest title of 2010 not only for Xbox, but across all platforms - a forecast which has been mirrored by industry professionals.

"Halo: Reach takes the legacy of Halo's rich multiplayer gameplay to an entirely new level, delivering experiences that we think old and new players alike will enjoy for years to come.

"The Halo franchise is an entertainment phenomenon comprised of best-selling novels, collectibles, industry acclaimed anime and genre-defining games that have already sold more than 30 million units worldwide."
