Subject: What is your ideal beginning to Halo : Reach?

I would love to start off the game as a child who is alone in the house doing normal things. A few minutes later your house will be broken into by military personel, and you get injected with anistetics and fall asleep.

*Cutscene*

A few days later you open your eyes slowly, blinking, trying to shield the intensity of the light in the room with your hands, but you can't. You are strapped down to a chair.

A Lady, maybe Dr Halsey, walks up and sits down in front of you, and explains what is going on and what is going to happen. You then learn that you have been chosen to participate in the Spartan-II Programme. Having seen Spartan-I's in action, you immediately co-operate, knowing that one day, you may be just like them. Big. Strong. A Supersoldier.

*End of Cutscene*


And then the brutal training of a Spartan starts....



That's my idea for a good start to Halo : Reach.
What's yours?

Well they'll first show Halsley and Keys going to check on John tosee if he's a possible candidate.

Exactly that.

“I’m Your prisoner by choice. I will rest at Your feet, and I’ll only lift my voice when You want me to sing"

A 90 minute cutscene explaining whats going on and why we are here...with explosions....all in CG....the whole game should be in CG.

Yes, but not mind numbingly boring. They need to be interesting so nobody gets P.O.d

Yeah true, I would like more cutscenes like that badass one near the end of Halo Wars.

What are your ideas for the start of Halo : Reach?

Depends how it starts. Maybe you could start plummeting through the air as you bail out of your failing pelican like in the book. Steer you spartan towards the desired landing zone and meet up with the rest of the spartans. Of course this would only be if there are spartans in the game.

The military would break into a civilian house SWAT style, inject and then abduct a child in full view of the parents, and then take him into a room and tie him to a chair? What are they expecting from this kid, The Incredible Hulk?

Granted, it may be more interesting than the initiation from the novel, but it's a million miles from what really happened with John playing KoTH and the whole coin flipping with Dr. Halsey. It just wouldn't work, I'm sorry.

I didn't say that we will be playing as Johnny boy.
Also I forgot to mention the part when the parents recieve a phone call that a friend is in hospital, but the caller isnt actually a friend.
;D

anyways, back on topic, what are your ideas?

That would be neat, but just to let you know, if it were to be about John, he was picked up at a playground outside a schoolyard i think (I can't member exactly).

lol.

IM A LEGIT 16

Your idea is a bit overboard.
I mean, if that happend to you, would you kindly train without protest? A parent would think why after those military men injected something in your boy (or girl) and kidnap them, you get him (or her) back but they die a few months later.

Why would they treat a candidate so differently then John?

The beginning will probably be a Spartan in the diving Pelican, plummeting to his death.
That is how the Spartans ended up on Reach, anyway.

I'd like something like the coin trick with John, like a game of chance.

Edited my version, It did look a bit...forceful.
