Exactly. One of the things I like about Bungie is that they listen to their fans. Your missing the point that if its cool then why not put it in the game? Bungie wouldnt deny their fans something cool just because its an FPS. They are trying to make this game as fun as possible and if puting space battles in then so be it.

I don't join any group that spams me in PM so don't try it.

No, just no. Look most battles are fought at extreme range with volleys. I'm assuming you are thinking of some massively grand battle where you take your ship in inches from enemies and dodge like you're some kind of epic commander. In reality it would be quite boring shooting from thousands of miles and in the event of close range, those capital ships don't turn on a dime nor should they. Also you would lose the battle. So it would mean that you'd get the crap beat out of you, which all players hate.

Also the UNSC ships had two weapons, irritatingly ineffective Archer Missiles and a MAC cannon. The MAC cannon takes time to reload and fire (another player annoyance) and Missiles are severely limited and as said ineffective. You would actually have to turn over tactics in your head, something that many in the Halo universe are unable to do, no offense I hope.

Finally and most importantly, this is not Halo Wars 2. Good Night.

Dexomega, you are the new captain obvious in the room. Of course it would be boring as hell to shoot at something from millions of miles away. They would obviously not follow the books comepletly unless they would get crap for it so why not try it.

I don't want it either, but just to make a point: Star Wars Battlefront is a FPS/TPS and i think you'll find they have space battles.

i think that i would be cool to make a halo battelfront like the starwars battelfront games ware you die and spawn agen insted of having to restart the mission.

you could be a marine and bourd covent ships or be an Elite and bored a UNSC ship but make the capital ships alot biger internaly insted of just the hagers and control room like in starwars battelfront 2 and make it online enabeld and im sher a lot of peopel would love it

I just think that cintrolling the MAC gun along with the archer missles and nukes and the point fighter defense would be cool. Mostly because games never give you the oppurtunity to control capital ships and I want to.
