Wasnt this feasture available in most all other halo games? (especialy Halo 3 campaign)

Well, at this point I think I can say that they are probably going to use a slightly more advanced engine. So yes, freakin' huge battles would be sweet, and have a definite possibility.

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else.

Five years older and wiser
The fires are burning, I'm fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests, and on hire

Halo 2 was meant to have that but it didnt, HALO 3 was advertised to be some epic battles but ended up a disappointment. hopefull we will have some star wars battle front size battles waging on

One scarab on legendary was annoying, two were a pain in the ass, but six?! I might have a heart attack.


Oh come on, the two were pushovers, even on Legendary.
The only times I died was when I took too long to get in a Banshee, so just don't stay still =)

The only one that was remotely hard was on the level the Ark.

6 Scarabs would be awesome, especially if they add Longswords =D
Remember: The Scarab has a very weak ass

Large skirmishes were present in Halo 3 but what I'm referring to is ultra large scale battles. I don't know if the Halo engine can withstand over 500 covenant against 500 marines plus the spartans.


combat in this sense doesn't exist anymore. the scale of warfare from the world wars just doesn't happen. and as halo shows more often than not war is now fought by special forces fighting special forces, while being supported by some regular troops. large scale combat was seen in halo 3 with the battle with the 2 scarabs. that in modern warfare is a HUGE engagement. these massive battles with 2 opposing forces running accross the feild at each other a la braveheart don't happen... it would be unrealistic, and for this style of game would suck.

BUT, if this is on Reach, we would see the Halo 2 version of the scarab, and it was like impossible to kill one of those.

Yar-har!

You mean battles reminiscent to the Believe Diorama? Because that would be awesome!

What if the Covenant hale a lot of anti-air?
Then we get anti AA Vehicles

i'm awesome

Let's see what would be possible by the standards set by the original Halo trilogy (oh god, some terrible things rattled in my brain when I typed that sentence).

I found ways you could get about 16 UNSC AI battling with you, no framerate flaw or anything, and they were okay. You could easily bump that up to maybe 25, I guess, but would you really want tons of those buffoons running around next to you in the heat of battle?

Bungie is good with vehicles. Wraith bombardments are a natural ingredient in a recipe of epic proportions. And, with the human, Warthogs would just be zipping along the edges of the map, crashing into rocks, Grunts, and the usual UNSC marine: not good. And if there was a cliff it would be running of that as well...

The Covenant. Probably maxed at 60, at the most. In Halo 3 I have gotten to an area with 52, minimal slowdown. Would be crazy if Elites are here, Zealots running at you, Jackal phalanxes at the ready, and Grunts providing the usual support.

Following the philosophy of always moving forward Bungie will have nowhere to go but build on the existing standards, adding probably a dramatic skybox and some crazy soundtrack.

For Reach we might even have:
-more than 2 Scarabs running around
-the usual SURPRISE! Drone swarm flying at you
-scripted UNSC cavalry charge with AR's blazing and rockets flying
-Phantoms hovering overhead

and, of course

-the lone Pelican doing absolutely nothing

My hope is only holding out on that very last detail. Man, I hope it gets shot down, Bungie doing what both Scarabs couldn't do near the end of The Covenant.
