for any one who has read the books there are a lot of space battles with huge ships do u think it would be cool to have like a mode where u could pilot huge ships like pillar of autaum and battle in space since one person is covenant and one is human it would kind of make sense and they could also balance the ships out becuase in the books the covenant ones are way stronger does any one think this would be an ok idea or if it would suck as even like a side mission

I think it would be cool for a mission. Say you have to aid in the defense of a captured Covenant vessel, by repelling boarders, destroying Covenant fighters with a captured Covenant fighter, and then using the Covenant vessels sole remaining to destroy Covenant dropships before they land reinforcements in New Monbasa.

It would be amazing, even as a 15min demo or something. In any case it'd be ace

That won't be in the game. Bungie does not have time to add crap like that to a game that is ALREADY barely going to be finished by Nov.9

Being ON a UNSC ship DURING a space battle would be cool. Like The Pillar Of Autumn, only more windows, and no covenant boarding the ship.

That's an awsome idea, the best of star wars in halo 2, only better.


I agree, in SP that would be cool, and with a sweet video to follow your completion, all spartan spacey like and all, with cool space explosions ( the ones with rings and all).

And piloting space ships is up to CAPTIANS not spartans.

It could aready be in the game, oh smart one. How do you propose that the MC gets to at least the covonant homeword? That's what I thought.

Good Point Frank, we know next to nothing of what will be in the main game and space battles may very well have been included.
They wanted to tell a great sci-fi story, great sci-fi stories usually have space battles

yes, the first attempt to go to the covenant world failed, because ships got a priority ALPHA tansmission to report to reach, because they detected a covenant fleet on the outer system, heading for reach, so if reach wasnt invaded...the mission would have taken place
