ram on

from all we have been shown already

there are five characters in the logo. doesnt need a genius to work out theyre the main characters like bungie have recently experimented in ODST

anyway i think this may be another way of introducing 5 player co op campaign

your thoughts?

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

Lol. Add an extra character? Seems pointless. I get along with 4 people great.

  • 06.16.2009 4:15 PM PDT

...Good point.

Course one of them just might be a support character, some reconosence guy that is always scouting ahead and giving you intel and not actively helping out in the fight except for some occasions.

i think it would be interesting

besides, its been countless times where ive had to feel bad and ask people to leave because co op campaign is only 4 players

  • 06.16.2009 4:19 PM PDT

Or, they could have a main campaign with Master Chief, and then have a separate Co-Op campaign with the 4 other characters.

Why stop at 5? Why not make it 16 player co-op?

Lets have an army of 100's.

I would say 16 because in all of the Halo games 16 has been the max number of people to play with. I think it would be exiting because there were alot of spartens on reach and each player could be a different one.

  • 06.16.2009 4:34 PM PDT

Hell yeah, army of Spartans. That is, until people think they are in a slayer match.

I think it would be nice to have another player, at least they have the possibility and don't have to throw in two random elites

While you're at it why not add 9000 enemies on screen at a time !?!? Anyways, I don't think they would make it such an off number. Usually these things are at specific numbers, or else they just sound and look strange. Not just that, but if you're going to add more people why just make it one person ? It wouldn't make sense. Bungie is always ambitious, if they were going to up the count, they would do something ridiculously challenging like eight players at a time. I'm not saying I'm right, but that's my two cents.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

You are being sarcastic and when you say "all" you actually mean "hardly nothing" right?

Oh... i guess i was wrong. Did you know that even though it doesn't take a genius to work out that they're the main characters, it takes a genius to know that you shouldnt jump to conclusions based on a picture of 5 silhouettes.

Posted by: anyway i think this may be another way of introducing 5 player co op campaign
Maybe... they extended the number of players in GoW2 to 5 instead of 4 so adding a 5th player to the campaign could be a way to say "well you have 5 people working together in multiplayer... we have it in Campaign". Other than that.... meh, 4 is ok.

My thoughts are above this.

PPPPPP--POWER!

I don't think this is a good idea. Think about all of the lag/latency issues you would now have to address with one additional player. It is bad enough as it already is (at times).

Whats up with Spartans calling Elites Dinosaurs? I mean Spartans are the ones almost extinct! XD

None of those characters above are supporting characters. Each of those Spartans represent a member of Master Chiefs Spartan team, Blue team, including him in it. During Reach though the number of people in the teams began to change but those five are the originial ones. I think it would be interesting to make it up to 5, I mean dont you hate it when you have an extra 5th player to play campaign n you have to break the news of having a full party? This is good! Though there is that one factor of connection problems but its a good idea nonetheless.

Even if you do play as each Spartan, people think the one on the left is Samuel. Who dies. That makes him slightly hard to play as.

Samuel died before the battle on Reach, its got to be Will because he deals with heavy weaponry n he tussled with a Hunter o.O. Hes the only one left to fit in the space during that specific time, everyone else like John, Kelly, Fred, Linda fit in from the looks of the other Spartans.

good point, Im sure they could fix it in a way where you can play with five people online? Idk really...the person who made this thread should be the one supporting this idea -.-, not me!

Do you know the amount of enemies it would take to give a challenge to 8 players?

Do you know Abotelho how many Covenant folk invaded Reach, it gave the rest of the remaining active Spartans back then a run for their money XD. and sadly the Spartans now are broke.

Look at it this way: 4 players is really easy on legendary. double the amount of destruction of that. And add more enemies, to up the difficulty, and the fact 100 enemies can't all fire at the guy person at once.

Well, Sam is going to die sometime in the story.

So that makes 4.

That didnt make sense ABotelho, the way Legendary is, its more of enemy AI quality not quantity. It was really like 300 Spartan showdown in Reach, like for every one Spartan there were 1,000 n this isnt a wild guess, there were more than that.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

no i don't think the flow of the story will involve all 5 characters at the sametime in every level. we'll probably get a generic spartan if there is more than 1 or 2.
