Subject: 1st person drop, a concept from Halo 2

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I was recently watching the commentary on the cutscenes from Halo CE and Halo 2 on the Halo 3 bonus disk that came with the Legendary Edition, and when they got to the drop on Delta Halo, the guys from Bungie mentioned that they had planned to do the drop in 1st person, like they do in Halo 3: ODST.

Throughout the Halo series, there were alot of things Bungie wanted to do with one game, that they just couldnt do, and that re-appeared in a later game. For instance, you were supposed to kill a Prophet in Halo CE (though it would have orignally been an Elite with a funny hat) but they did that later in Halo 2 instead, when you killed the Prophet of Regret.

What other new surprises do you think we will get with ODST? Maybe a re-imagined version of the original Halo 2 New Mombassa mission from E3 so many years ago? Who knows?

-Formaly known as Thrall320, Legendary Member... until I was hacked, and lost my Xbox LIVE Gamertag, and my hotmail adress. I had 23910 Achivevement points.

-New account: Loyde 320, much more points than Thrall320 had now.

I would love the E3 Halo 2 level... though, it would be Elite-less now.

That's probably the only thing I hate about this game.

During this time, shouldn't there be Elites, and Halo 2 style Brutes running around? It'd be sweet the see the old H2 Brutes in H3 grapihcs/AI.

There were no Elite enemies in the E3 level anyway, they only appeared in the end cutscene (which would be changeable) But anyway, I think it makes decent sense, the Elites in the city would have been wiped out by the blast, then the Brutes flew in.

Mmmmm, Cheese....

Referring to halo 2, I wish they kept the single shot battle rifle. (As seen in the video on the halo ce best of platinum)

They did, they just made it shoot green, and named it the Carbine.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

A re-imagination of the E3 level would be amazing. I was looking forward to it at the time, and then it wasn't there. I was sad.

Maybe they'll bring back that UNSC motorcycle they pitched from Halo 2. :D. That would be cool.
