So when I mean Dark i mean the story and atmesphere .

1-3=Would be really light, easy, still would be a challenge. Yet the story would have lots of hope. Even on "Legendary" when you are being owned you'll be happy (story wise)

4-5=Average Halo.

6-8=A darker, more real Halo. Less cartoon like, more realistic. Would feel like a real invastion/war would feel like. Almost like a "Shell Shock" style game.

It's gotta be a bit darker because the game will feature the fall of Reach, Humanity's biggest loss in the Covenant war...

"For us, the storm has past. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure, sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten, Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood March 3, 2553"

10!

This is Bungie's chance to make an extremely epic-ly melodramatic game. Pour the emotion into it. I want Reach to beat GoW 2 on the shock value scale. GoW had some jaw dropping moments but I'm hoping that Halo: Reach will completely make it fall off.


(Please note, I'm not saying add extra gore or more Gears like. I'm simply stating that Gears 2 was a very emotional game and that I am hoping the same for Halo: Reach)

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2

I want the game to be bright an full of color. Not so dark that it is hard to see anything. ;)

Haha well it should have some night levels.

As far as 10, then would be extreme. GOW2 is like 7-8 scale maybe a 9 (esspeiclly with that Maria part...damn that almost made me cry)

So yea. Dark enough to get upsetting, dark enough for you to care.

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

It needs to start out pretty bright, and only get somewhat darker near the end.

Go Yankees

why is there no option that is the same level of darkness as the previous halos - only lighter or darker? i thought the atmosphere in halo 2 was near perfect.
