Subject: Cinematic Moments for Halo: Reach..

1.- It is a fight in the streets and you can't see anything 4 feet in front of you because of extreme smoke/fog. All you can use to navigate through is your objective marker in your HUD. The Covenant too are thrown off by this strange form of warfare, so in some moments, either faction will shoot wildly through the fog. This would be intense, and it would be hard to completely master it, in either play through.

2.- You are being briefed by a high ranking commander, this is in about the beginning of Reach's siege (I don't know when the game will start so I won't say the overall beginning), and you are inside a military building, walking and talking through the hallways; some badass dialog is going down (for which Halo is known for), and then you reach a door, the commander say some punchy peice of dialog (eg. Lets see how Spartans fight inevitability) he opens the door for you and you stare into the vicious skies. The sky is red like hell from the destruction that is going on, and there is a visable space battle happening in Orbit that you can see from the ground. It is a cloudless night. And there is no music, just the rumbles of war.

3.- You, some other Spartans, and marines are running through the streets to your objective- and there is audible chaos all around, but you are not being fired upon. Suddenly somebody yells "GET DOWN!" and a massive low flying Covenant cruiser swoops right in front of you, with it's glassing beam going. There is an intense glare in front of you, and then you get up, and there is a long slice down through your route to the objective, and then the purpose of the beam goes into effect when the burns start to turn to a cold glass.

4.- A Spartan/Marine tells you to look to the sky, and you can see a UNSC frigate getting battered by a Covenant one. Over the radio you pick up some Covenant chatter- it's T'hel Vudamee (The Halo 2/3 Arbiter), and he is shouting commands. The UNSC frigate explodes, and you are stunned and blinded; peices of the wreck begin to rain down upon you as you stuggle to avoid the meteor like peices of deris, and some peices are A LOT larger than the others.. such as the main halves of the ship.

Okay I know none of these are really going to happen, but it would be cool to have some feedback on them. If any, tell me which one is your favourite.

Why is it that stupid threads always get tons of attention, but threads that actually had some though put into them are burried?

That's the way of Bungie.net.

Nice ideas by the way, I love the burning sky one. Having Thel Vadam'ee (And it's Vadam'ee, not Vadum'ee) as an antagonist would be cool too, albeit strange.

Well, thank you for responding, and I just noticed that you are right about the Vadam'ee, and not Vudamee.

The first one IMO is a bad idea, I like the second the best, and the third isn't bad either, yet the last is kinda strange and I don't get the purpose of it.

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

Standing in the generator area as giant towers of plasma burst down on your position sounds actiony enough for me.

Good ideas there man. Especially love the 1st and Third. In fact, the third one has been in my fantasies for a long time.

Burning stuff falling rapidly from the sky is scary. Evading it is an adrenelain(I think I spelt that wrong) rush! It would just be really fun, and un-predictable, if the debris was real geometry, never landing in the same place twice.
