if you have read the books you know that there are several UNSC v. Covenant engagements depicted. I think that piloting the massive capital ships via on-board AI would be totally epic. Thoughts?

It would eather be really complicated, or to dummbed down. I doubt anyone could pull off a good space battle system, but then again if anyone can it will be Bungie.

Why? It's not like he "Proposed a New Theory!" about the Space-Time Continium theory.

Yeah, Pandemic did do a great job.

I really wanna fly one of the Flag Ships though; or in Halo's case, a Frigate or Carrier.

P.S.- I am friggin' PISSED that the third Battlefront installment got cancelled- ..maybe a different developer will pick it off where they left off; cos' I really want to go from a land battle to a space one in a beautiful, seamless transition..

It would be cool, doesn't really seem like Halo though. Well they are meant to be re-inventing the series so ya never know.

Jackson Fit is here.

Possibly take over a Longsword?

Join the 616th ODST Battalion. Drop feet first into Hell... then take out the population. Sign up today!

I don't know about controlling a huge ship. MAYBE. But piloting a Longsword would be pure awesome. Taking out Seraphs while HUGE frigates and carriers and other massive ships annihilate each other around you. That would be epic. Honestly tho, I'd be content with a nice long cutscene showing a huge battle. Like, oh I don't know... the Keyes Loop?

  • 06.25.2009 3:40 AM PDT

its a good idea but i think it should be for a different game it just won feel like halo if you do that

  • 06.25.2009 3:42 AM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

Well the Keyes Loop was some amazing tactics (in your face Star Trek!) and space battles would work really well. I've been trying to create one on Sandbox, but I'm too lazy. :p

To play or not to play....

Hmmm it would be VERY nice to have in game but I doubt we will see it. I think the game will remain as a FPS overall and with what appears to be five Spartans it may include team or squad commands.

Space battels would be awesome and the story or Reach had some good ones but unfortunately it would stray a bit off theme for the Halo game so to speak. I mean stray away from the FPS experience. Plus it would mean a heck of a lot more work for Bungie to make it work like that.

Some fancy cut scenes would be MOST welcome though :)))

true, they should put in Space battles that would be mad, and you can like aboard on a covenant ship.. and stuff like that.

Boarding action would be very cool and is actually pretty likely.

  • 06.25.2009 5:47 AM PDT

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

whell if they won't have dog fights in space... maybe they will have bourding parties and dog fights down on the planet...

maybe they can have capital ships that can be moved like the eliphants in halo3..and the capital ships have hangers for longswords and seraphs.. it would be like battle front but also have it's own twist.. like stratigic movement of your capital ships...

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

No way... but what about a Pelican race for the final mission?

"Surrender is not an option."

That would be cool, but it would probely unbalance the gameplay. How about controlling Longsword starfighters.

yes exactly what i was thinking

  • 06.25.2009 7:50 AM PDT

And while were thinking of that... Zero-G combat would be awesome too!

  • 06.25.2009 8:02 AM PDT

Like in Battlefront there could two flagships (one UNSC, one Covenant). You spawn inside of the ship. Inside the hangar there are an assortment of ships (Pelican, Longsword, Hornet, new vehicles [UNSC]) (Spirit, Seraph, Banshee, new vehicles [Covenant]). You can either:
1. Fly into the hangar and destroy key points of the ship.
2. Stay and defend your ship (turret emplacements are operable).
3. Dogfight.
4. Destroy key points of the ship from the outside.
Once the other ship is destroyed, you win.
That's my to cents. Peace.
