Subject: The game needs jump and roll

I'm a 15 year old stuck in the middle of nowhere. Machinima director, screenplay writer, novelist, jazz musician, and Photoshop junkie.

How many times has this happened to you.
UH-OH! there's a grenade. it goes off in 2 and a half seconds the only thing you can do is try to walk away from it. BAM!!! Your dead.

UH-OH! There's a ghost coming your way its going to run you over. You have 1 second to react!
You can try to run out of the way or jump, but you might end up jumping to early and end up crashing down on top of it. SPLAT!!! your dead.

These situations could be stopped if you had the option to jump and roll. Did you know that in order to join the American armed services you have to learn how to jump and roll to the left right front and back?

This is something that I would really like to see in the game. Anybody else agree?

That'd be cool.

I'm delicious.

No, that's much to realistic for Halo. Leave that for games like CoD. Rolling like that would take away from the smoothness of the gameplay.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

If it was intergrated well, I would like it. But if it was something robotic (as with a bunch of cover-tactics FPSs) then it would destroy the smooth and flowing motions of the game.

I don't know, it might not work in Halo. I know the AI enemies do it but it could ruin the multiplayer. I think that it would work campaign only.

Marines jump away from you when you are about to hit them with a vehicle. Thats because they are not super soldiers that can jump 4 to 5 feet. I think this would be necessary atleast for ODST

Star Wars Battlefront was 1st and 3rd and you had the option in either modes. It worked fine and it saved my ass on a variety of occasions

So, in other words, you want bungie to make the game easier to survive in?

What about the guy who threw the grenade in the perfect spot, or the guy in the ghost who lined up a sucker right where he needed it?

Ever play the Matrix Moves mod for UT1999?

It was awesome.
