Subject: What I Want As A Plot?

And So Forerunner And Flood Became One.

Everyone has been posting up these topics about the halo:reach plot and I just want to throw my idea out their.I really liked what happened in halo 2 where we got to play as covenant and UNSC forces.i would really liked if Bungie used that in Halo:Reach,

For Example:
you could have half the campaign about blue team and the other half about some covenant operation on reach or something along those lines.

I also would like it if Bungie used things from the novel and made up other things.As in use the novel as a starting point and work your way up,without having to make up random scenarios but making up things that the novel could have missed.I would also want Dr.Halsey as a huge part in the game,her presence will attract many a fan and add new scenarios to the game.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Blue Team was only on one zero-Gee mission which lasted only 15 mins... and one of the Spartans only had one arm, and the Chief was wearing the standard Mk V armor (not the permutation in the banner), so it will be about Red Team.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

I have on off topic question, is Cortana, Dr.Halsey?

I have a suspision that she is.

Anyways, yeah, I would like to see that idea come true, although the Covenant levels for Halo 2 kinda sucked.

Cortana was created from a flash-clone of Halsey's brain, so in a sense, she is Halsey.

yes, i also would like some covie perspective gameplay, in H2, ill admit the arbiter levels could have been better, but they werent bad, (chocolate icecream/mint-choc icecream, both good mint better) the thing i liked most about them was the feel of them, with the other elites and such, they were most of them kinda nuts, it was awesome

and yes, what he said, cortana was made from halsey's brain (a clone of), altho that was a reasonable ammount of time before reach got glassed.

Do you think they should include both blue team and red team or just stick with red team?

I say stick with Red Team... Blue's mission would play out before Red Team's, and starting out in zero-Gee isn't exactly the best way to get players acquiainted to the new gameplay and physics...

I'd really want to do something new and fight a new enemies I'd love to play as the Spartan Black squad instead of fighting the same old elites, jackals, grunts, drones, and hunters i mean they have to bring the suprise element back to halo like in halo one where you didn't know what was around the corner now its so obvious 2elites 8 grunts 2 jackals snore....

I am going to enjoy Halo : Reach no matter how the story plays out. I just ask for a couple things;

A single or burst shot human rifle, a crap load of customization, an amazing forge, an amazing campaign, and overall amazing innovation and multi-player.

The Best Kill Is Over Kill
let the bodies hit the floor...let the bodies hit the floor... let the bodies hit the.... FLOOR!

I was reading this thread and you brought up physics... what if they implemented the Cryengine 3... it would provide awesome graphics destructible terrain and superb physics ... then if they do that without creating a new one, Bungie could concentrate on the plot and game play....

I just remembered that Halsey was seen as a mother figure for the Spartans.
Chief is one sick guy for his 'romance' with cortana. He must have had some wierd fantasies.

LOL but anyway in halo3 the lines that cortana says in the mini cutscenes are quotes from the books mainly what doctor hasley says E.G halsey:could you sacrifice him to complete your mission could you watch him die/ halo 3 cortana: could you sacrifice me to complete your mission could you watch me die.

Memento mori.

I'm not sure if i'd want to be killing humans as covenant, that would be... Different. Maybe that would be okay, but I don't really care. I want Reach to have a long, epic story set in a very wide variety of Environments, and I want the battles and things to be much bigger scale, like Halo Wars battles from the perspective of a Spartan.

I want to drive Vulture Gunships.

Wouldn't that be Mark IV? Mark V had the overshield.

They had Mk V (with shields).

Hm? Sorry, I must be misreading something...

I thought Mark V was standard issue after the whole orbital battle? You know, the one where the Master Chief had the Mark IV, ended up leaving his injured man behind on the covenant ship to protect the bomb before it blew up? (Fall of Reach I think it was?)

Chief was given that armor the day before that mission (the invasion of Reach), and all the other Spartans probably got it the same day since they were moving out for their mission right before the orbital incident where James went MIA...

Yeah, I know that. I must have misinterpeted something you said. Sorry about that.

I'm with MLG Cheehwawa on this one -- Red Team is infinitely more interesting a story to tell than Blue team, and it is more likely.

Red Team's story is layered with ambiguity and mystery. We don't know about some factions of the team (since it was divided into four operations, us having only scant details of two of them).

Plus, there's always the chance this ends up being a game about the story of First Strike. My favouritest of Halo books. I'll cling to that hope.
