Just an idea, you can trash it if you want, but what about Space Battles, imagine getting into a Longsword and engaging Seraphs in earths orbit? Good or bad? Sorry if this has been posted before

Master Chief wouldnt do that. He hates fighting in space. And besides, they have people that are specifically trained for those types of things.

Well it would be cool if it was done right. But the fact is, its not going to happen.

Honestly, I dont think there is much room for it in Halo 2 (personally I'm a a fan of the genre of space combat, not a trekkie), but a Halo spinoff or something...

Yeah, if it were done right it'd be uber tight. but its probably not gonna happen.

halo is based around ground warfare (becuase you play a lowly high ranking super soldier who just happens to be an infantry guy!)

yeah crim, i think ur right, the reason were losing the war is, cuz we always win on land (Master Chief) but we lose the space battles. so if we win on land and the covie win in space, they jsut glass the planet

To bad Captain Keyes had to go and turn into a giant walking bugger. He was the best ship Captain the UNSC had (in my opinion), and the only chance they had at winning space battles. Maybe with the Covenant tech Cortana has the UNSC can improve their fleet (or whats left of it).

If the Master Chief were to get in a Longsword in a space battle he'd fly it stright through into the mouth of the beast. He'd slam that bastard ship straight into the hanger area and come out the rear hatch with both SMG's singing a merry swathe of destruction.

Still, it would be cool to be fighting in that hanger, turn around and look outside and see the space battle going on while you were fighting for your own life.

I dont really think that space battles would be fun at all in halo...unless its where the space battle is happning while your boarding enemy ships and taking them over then your forces take that ship and this goes on till all the ships are either destroyed or takin over...that might be fun...but not just flying around in a ship by your self...thats really not halo.

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

i still think it would be cool, but maybe in a different game. maybe a spinoff, like "Halo: Longsword". i'd buy it.

still, as far as i'm concearned, bungie can do no wrong. if there is a flying element (more than halo 1) in the game, i'm sure it will kick major @$$.

MC would most probably wouldn't be piloting, cos cortana would do that cos she's uber at all things
