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?

Now this isn't as much as a problem for Halo reach. However ODSTS are not super soldiers that can take blows from grenades and jump up 6 feet.

BARREL ROLL!!!

Lolular!

Kyletacular-Killtacular-get it?

It would be handy but it wouldn't really work in first person.

It would be also handy if you stopped making the same thread again and again.

  • 06.23.2009 9:02 AM PDT

Dude stop making stupid threads This is a FPS there is not going to be any jump and rolling ok just no.

  • 06.23.2009 9:05 AM PDT

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

i could see it.
stupid marines always do it to avoid my car or grenades.

If I insulted you, flamed you, or in anyway offensive, please report my wrong doings.

Or just spam me.

"I miss the days of banning a hundred + people in a single thread. :( " -just another fan

That would ruin the entire game.
Halo is meant to be a "static" game.
No human effects, no limps, no shaking when you walk.
That ruined COD and GOW.
Halo would be better off with a gun in it's mouth.

Although you are put in the shoes of an ODST who weights less then a Spartan, Bungie will be using the Halo 3 engine for this game so you will be using the same moves as Spartans.


The decision of this sounds good but it just would make it a GTA game in a space senario which isn't very good. This lack of skill will keep the player alert to their enviorment and teach the player they aren't a God. They are in fact called the Rookie in the game. I don't think they have that much military skill yet. It will teach the gamer to think before they go into battle an element that is often lost in most games.

BARREL ROLL!!!

lmao, I don't think people are capable of doing that

  • 06.23.2009 11:29 AM PDT

79/79 achievements in halo 3

blacklisted for speaking the truth

Should there be? debatable it might not feel like halo
Will there be? No the game is running on the Halo 3 engine which doesn't have rolling

  • 06.23.2009 11:34 AM PDT

It's fine they way it is now. IMO.

  • 06.23.2009 11:37 AM PDT

Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like noones watching.

Although not an FPS, if you are arguing that you cannot jump and roll in first person, I believe Oblivion had a dodging roll that could be executed while in first person.

If you don't want something sloppy you shouldnt've have to jump and roll, but you should be able to jump away from a grenade or something.

You don't HAVE to do it but the room of an OPTION would make sense. There is something wrong with you if you think it's fine how it is and you shouldn't change it keep the "smoothness" of the gameplay. This is Halo not communist China. Basically we're stuck with this. If a guy throws a grenade than you have to get blow up by it. You can't do -blam! about it....if you can't see the reasoning in that than you should stop playing videogames for a couple days.

Betcha can't stick em....

One could say that the opponent should be rewarded for throwing a well placed grenade and to punish the user who put themselves in said situation. While I'm not totally adverse to the idea, it could also serve as a deterrent for grenade use.

  • 06.25.2009 6:31 AM PDT

I think it would be a pretty cool idea, but then i wouldnt want this game to turn into GOW2 or LP , rolling kinda made those games retarded becasue thats all ppl ever do in those games

  • 06.25.2009 6:34 AM PDT

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Seems like it would be dizzy-ing in a first-person shooter.

  • 06.25.2009 6:36 AM PDT

Blackness Confirmed. You've got soul.


The Ultimate Opinion.

yes, this would be a good idea, but your power must be over 9000.

  • 06.25.2009 6:38 AM PDT

Being an ODST and supposedly being all stealthy, i think that being able to go prone would be good

  • 06.25.2009 8:10 AM PDT

Bungie would be the first company to do this.

Oblivion it just goes low and moves to the side really fast you can also do a back flip in there also in Mirrors Edge you do tons of crazy stunts in first person

what do you think about ODST in a third person or something like GOW

  • 06.25.2009 9:33 AM PDT

Would you dance for it?

Rolling is almost impossible in 1st person (unless you ENJOY disorentation just one button push away).

Althought without the Cheif's 1337 jumping skill, a more latteral 'Dodging' movement should be assigned to the 'A' button.
