Subject: Taking something from Halo Wars?

Anyone think Bungie may pull vehicles and crap from Halo Wars? Would love to see Wolverines, Cobras and Grizzlies in Halo: Reach. Would love to see Vampires and Locusts in Halo: Reach as well.

Oh and I want them to literally steal the mission "Repairs" from Halo Wars. Fighting on foot on the hull of the ship? Yes please.

Anything thing from Halo Wars you think would be great here?

No, Halo Wars will always, in my eyes, be non - canon.

Well, it is canon. So even if its non-canon in your eyes, what would you want from it? :D

ok well i completely agree with pulling various units over from halo wars (vehicles, infantry, etc) but they can't pull missions from halo wars...reach is specifically about reach and the missions from halo wars don't take place at reach

Haha, I know that. I just want a mission where I'm on the hull of the ship, doing stuff.

Nothing. The vehicles and new units are purely for gameplay reasons, we don't see them in cutscenes.

actually if the game is based off of the book Halo: Fall of Reach, and if you get to play as Master Cheif the only place he does battle is in a broken ship in a Zero G enviornment. i would love to to do that!

So you are saying stuff that Microsoft and Bungie have said is canon, isn't canon?

Not Bungie, just Microsoft. You do realise Halo Wars was created by Ensemble Studios right? It's a great game, just not very canon.

Return of Ranger Elites as well?

Ranger Elites kick ass.

Frankie said all the stuff in it is now Canon, so I personally expect to see AT LEAST some Locust being involved with digging up HighCom.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It WOULD be awsome to see Locusts and locked down Cobras shoting stuff and blowing them up, and imagine seeing in a 1st person view a Carpet Bomb, that would be sick. =D

it would make since for some of the vehicles to be in it as reach is a very militarized planet.

Wasn't there some unidentified Mining Thing the Covenant used in the "First Strike" or have we established that those were Scarabs.

I want them all though. Gah!

Still remember those sections of Halo 2. Pity they didn't last long.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

It makes sense to me to have more vehicles. I think the scarab, hawk, chopper, etc. all worked very well. The bigger the battles the better IMO.

Revvin' up your engine,
Listen to her howlin' roar,
Metal under tension,
Beggin' you to touch and go!

No

Imagine a building that is filled with covenant, and If your team of Spartans went in they would be demolished. They call in the Flamethrowers from Halo Wars and the whole building gets lit on fire with covenant running out on fire only to be shot by marines and Spartans waiting at the exits.

Taking stuff from Halo Wars would be sweet.

I really need to get Halo Wars, or at least rent it.

I think all the human vehicles should be used that were from Halo Wars.

I found them to look great and well, look great.

I would love to see a grizzly in there, maybe even throw in some Kestrels.

  • 07.07.2009 10:51 AM PDT

I would love to see the veichles from halo wars but the grizzly and hawk were special mods of scorpions and hornets by forge and anders so i dought we will see those two.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Keep in mind that just because something worked well in one game, doesn't mean it will work well in another, especially when thost games are two completely different types of game. The design considerations for an FPS are very different than those for an RTS. In RTS games you need to have a unit of every "type" and you need to have counter units of every type. In an FPS this is not necessary as you do not control "units" you control the character your playing as.

I wouldn't mind some things being featured, but not as playable units. Personally I feel the only practical implement would be the Wolverine and the Locust, but again, not as playable vehicles.
