What about following the book The Fall of Reach ? Where you escape in an enemy dropship as they glass the planet. And the part where there are about 10000 troops to about 12-13 humans/Spartans. Epic right there, just picturing that scene.

This kid's 14th in Europe. Don't even bother calling me bad.

A race to get off of Reach before it explodes with the majority of humanity.
Since when was the majority of humanity on Reach? It may be the most densely populated, but that dosen't mean "moast ppl livz hear."

You are in a Warthog trying to drive away from the Covenant who are glassing Reach while shooting at an angry Scarab who has been modified to have hovering capabilities.

i would like to have a huge last stand against a bunch of enemies like you and all the marines and spartans left on the planet against with a few vehicles and such against a Shi* load of covenant

My ROFLsniper goes POW!

i think both with a big battle going on around you while your fighting an arbiter with double swords and super shields. and the race being in a pelican fighting your way through covenant air force and then at the very end board a covenant capital ship and disabling its engine and later destroying it so that it cant follow the truth and reconciliation to the pillar of autumn and halo. epic. =]

Finished the Fight!

Last stand sounds just about right. After all, most of Reach was glassed except for that one spot the Covies spared looking for their Forerunner thingie.

Because we know that the Spartans were used to defend the generators powering the MAC cannons, I'd imagine that the last level would involve you fighting hordes of Covenant, then as the planet is clearly falling, you escape into the mountains.

GRAVITY CAT NOT AMUSED
Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

Awesome ideas, everyone! I agree with a huge battle as they glass the planet and such.

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

ya know, im proud to be an inverted player, its like we're a rare breed or something


Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

1st, Dawn wasn't Johnson's frigate, it was Keys', you drove Johnsons Hog though.

And I'm not sure what they could to, though fighting SI would be impossible, and why does everyone hate Dare?

Edit: Wait, forgot I'm in Reach forums. Yeah, it will probably be a race to escape the planet or get to ONI CASTLE base.

I think the best ending possible for REACH would be a 30 minute battle OR the first level of Halo CE remade.

Okay, you start the last level with a sniper rifle. You have to snipe a Covenant Prophet. After he is killed, you have to run away, being timed. After fighting through a large group of Covenant, you activate your "Spartan Time" slow motion ability. You kill the boss who you have fought twenty times before in a brutal fashion. Then you drive away in your motorcycle, hit a jump, go into slow motion, hit some red explosive barrels, land on some boxes, scream WOAHHHH in slow motion as you drive away, and end the game with intense music.

I wouldn't mind both.


Ditto.

I want you and the main bad guy (whoever) racing to to get something/ running away from something, while trying to stop each other.

  • 06.22.2009 8:31 PM PDT

I want to see a skull that lets you turn the final boss into a Giant Grunt, and you fly a Hornet to kill it. Then you have to drive away from its falling corpse.

  • 06.22.2009 8:36 PM PDT

I'd prefer a boss battle. It's way more epic than a simple race.

More Epic than a Pelican race?

  • 06.22.2009 8:46 PM PDT

Yea definitely!
Well depends on who the Boss is and how fun the last fight is. ;P

I heard their was a super Scarab in Halo Wars a while back and I had a great idea. Why not have a colossal Scarab. And I mean huge. The Scarab would be so big it has a small Hanger with dropships and banshees. Maybe a small portion with vehicles. It would be like a mobile superbase. It would be an entire campaign mission to fight.

While fighting the Scarab there would be a giant war going on in a massive canyon. You could fight everything but they would just keep coming. You Primary objective would be the Scarab. You would only need to fight defensively against nearby ground troops.

You would have to take it down with some serious firepower, maybe several special bombs(nukes?) located at different parts of a huge map. When it is finally down you would have to enter it and find the reactor, which would not be marked at all. You would have to search hard.

To make it tie into the end of the game you would have to enter the Scarab finds and rescue *Insert high ranking UNSC member or Forerunner Artifact here*, get to the reactor, fight an Elite version of Taturus and escape before the ship blows to a pelican.

I'm not sure how an epic battle would work, but a race is an easy option to use when ending Reach. Since the planet is getting glassed, you could race through giant random plasma beams and explosions. That would be amazing with the scale of it all. But knowing Bungie, they probably have something completely new in store for us. Think about it. Halo 2 had the boss battle and the think the majority of the reactions to that were neither negative nor positive. But Halo 3's boss battle was more cinematic seeing as how easy it was. It was just your chance to final shut up the annoying Spark. And the race at the end of 3 was a throwback for fans because everyone loved the race to the finish at the end of Halo.
