I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

This leads me to another idea:

Let's just say that the Covenant brought one of those Super Scarabs from Halo: Wars in to helps excavate the area where the portal is, and your squads' mission is to try and disable it somehow. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but in Halo: Wars you have to use a MAC cannon to help destroy it. Judging from this, the main objective for the level could be to sneak around the Super Scarab through the rubble and access a terminal to a MAC cannon station either orbiting the planet (or one possibly on Earth; I don;t know if one exists), and have the SI hack the cannon and aim it at the Super Scarab, causing an onslaught of Tungsten slugs at the Super Scarab. Think of the Hammer of Dawn in Gears of War, except much larger. However, at one point you get spotted by the Scarab's searchlight and instead of finishing it's primary objective, it starts to chase after your squad. Your squad splits up and you have to maneuver through the city through buildings and rubble, all the while avoiding plasma shots and it's legs trying to stomp on you. Once you make regroup, you split up into two groups: one will distract the scarab and the other will climb to the top of a building and access a terminal where the SI can hack in and aim the cannon.

Extremely unlikely, I know, but it'd be epic nonetheless =)


MAC's are fired from orbit around a planet. There not actually a missle thyre a bit like a giant ballistic lazer.
