Subject: How far do you think Bungie is going to push this game?

What I mean, is an extend of damage closer to the books. Plasma burns for example. I would like to see that covenant weapons are actually much more powerful then their human counter parts.

Plasma should totally dominate bullets in stopping power. Sure Halo games are meant to be ''non realistic'' as people say, but I read somewhere that Microsoft said this game would be much more serious then it's predecessors.

Maybe we'll see plasma burns on armor, when a body is light on fire, I want to see it actually burn. I want to see the battle field slowly fall apart during the battles. I want to see a certain aspect of realism.

What are your thoughts?

And to anybody who says ''no, we don't want COD'', your a retard.

IM A LEGIT 16

No, we don't want COD

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Plasma being more powerful in Campaign would be cool.
In Matchmaking? Hell no!

Seeing burn marks (after your shield goes down) would be cool aswell, but then they should also add bullet holes.

Realism in Campaign = Good
Realism in Matchmaking, when it affects gameplay= Bad

KillaGod is my alternate Bungie.net account with my Gamertag linked to that account!

Ty92PrideFireZ is my new alternate account with my new and permanent Gamertag linked to that account.

That would be very cool and also when you die in Matchmaking, some of your armour parts fall off, but you have them equipped on you when you respawn.

I think this game needs to be brutal and more about surviving all the battles you face since you're losing this battle on the planet anyway. I don't want that one-man-army thing all the previous halos had.

I KNOW! I think they should make a game like this, in a city, and your actually not a spartan, but a normal solider! it could be after some giant explosion went off, and your alone with a few people, trying not to get killed!

Maybe it could be called Halo: ODST!

sorry lol


I agree, I actually like when maps get full of rubble, it's very attracting to spawn all the vehicles in the skybubble, and make them hit a kill ball and tons of destroyed wreckage comes down, I completely agree.

I would like Bungie to make the Halo games more bloody. Like with James (a Spartan) when a hunter attacked him, his arm was blasted off. I would like to see something like that in the game.

How about "No, we don't want Crysis" ?

In all seriousness, I don't see those vast environmental or interactive effects being implemented into a game that already puts on the horse power and demands performance from the current gen's processor.

Maybe they can, since it seems Crysis itself is coming to the 360 at some point (a dumbed down version to be sure), but different engines work in different ways and while I do hope we have more environmental interactivity in future Halo titles, I'm not holding my breath for anything expansive.
