halo 3 is a good game, it just seems a little, childish.

can we please get some decent gun noises, and maybe grunge up the graphics a bit? im not saying make it more realistic, keep the same stylized look, but just make everything look a bit more battered and worn then in halo 3.

with the gun noises, im sure you could make them sound more dangerous, currently the AR sounds like a popcorn maker, the plasma weapons just feel weak, and the BR i think, could do with some work.

imo, the only weapon that sounds good is the spartan laser, it scares the -blam!- out of you when you get nailed to the ground out of nowhere, and sounds cool from a distance.


gears 2 is a good example i think, although the gameplay got old real fast, the first night me and my mates played it we were blown away by the sound effects, they really sounded like they would do some damage. i just want that same experience with halo reach :)

sounds good. i think that everyone expect this game to be VERY different, I'm sure that Bungie knows that, now lets see what they hav done. I can't wait to see the next trailer

how about highly stylized thing streams of blood coming out of crack and holes in your beat up mjolnir mixing with the sand in the air. faint cracks on the side of your visor. scratched up paint. chips of ceremic flying off of the titanium plates that compose you armor.

for the zombies in infection there visors should be crack up alot. most of the ceremic would have crumbled off of there rusty titanium (i have no clue if titanium rusts but that would add a great effect to the zombies none the less)

agreed.

Doesnt need to be Gears violent, but atleast CoD W@W violent. you know blow a arm off or something or mangle a face or chest. Make people scream " HOLY -blam!-! I JUST -blam!- THAT ELITES FACE UP!"
The books give awsome visual images to your mind as to what the real war between the Covies and UNSC would be like.

PS. Gears of War rocks my JOCKS!! but number 2 is -blam!- house. Gears 1 forever and ever baby

i dont think they should make it more mature, but they should do something about the blood. in halo 3 the blood is kinda boring. i hope they make it more "alive" in halo reach.
ps: if you wanna play a game with guns that sound like they are doing some damage, play bad company. it feels like the guns are just about to fly off your arm XD

Even if they kept the bullet holes in rocks and walls and if you saw the individual bullet holes in vehicles, it would be more realistic. Or when someone snipes or shoots you in the leg you walk with a limp.

I'd like the weapons in Halo Reach to feel like they can actually do some damage. None of them, maybe with the exception of the BR feel rewarding to shoot. Especially the Assault Rifle, which just feels awfully weak.

  • 07.18.2009 6:46 AM PDT

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

and more destroyability. like buildings, better destroy vehicals, and if a warthog/scoipian.mongoose/ and others is hit with a spartan lazer (in the middle) split the vehicals into two pieces.

smg sucks? you sir, fail.

It’s all cyclical...

I think sound quality adds a lot to the weapons. If you listen to the presentation of ODST, the guns (although both have a silencer) feel/sounds heavier and as if they do more damage.
I agree with the AR in H3, it feels light and ineffective. I really think the sound made by the weapons add to the overall feel to the game.
I would expect Reach to contain some pretty "heavy" weaponry.

Signatures are for squares.

The games got less and less gory as time went on. The amount of blood things had in Halo: CE was perfect for me. I think that's how it should look. The sound really needs improvement, and the game is supposed to have a darker "tone"

I wouldn't expect limbs flying everywhere though, this is still Halo.

This sounds kool but the whole limping thing would slow down gameplay and drive people insane when they are on a map like valhala or sandtrap.

  • 07.18.2009 7:56 AM PDT

at first i thought you would be talking about the grunt birthday party thing. but anyways back onto topic. i dont think that gears weapons sound good the hammer burst seams like a pellet gun. the longshot dosent have good sound either i like the sniper in h3 better. btw plasma rifle is weak only on health that is.

you are right there halo CE had way much gore than the others like when you first find the flood and you go down the lift and the walls are pasted with blood and if you watch jenkins helmet cam they find an elite with its chest ripped open

Not only that, but when you melee'd a dead body, blood spayed everywhere, and the bullet holes laster MUCH longer.

  • 07.18.2009 8:39 AM PDT

-blam!- GTFO OF MY SIGNATURE

I like how the bodies stay in one piece. The bodies in GOW feel like they are made of tofu or jelly or something incredibly soft and breakable.

Gears is so -blam!- wack and boring

I like halo how it is but I wouldn't mind if they matured it up.

  • 07.18.2009 10:51 AM PDT

I felt like Halo 3 did it right. It's part of the epic sci-fi story.

ODST is stylizing it in its own style with a more mysterious and sort of more post destruction look. It has a showing of survivalism, but also exploration.

Reach, I'm sure, will probably have it's own look.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

I'm glad you pointed out sound and not colorful graphics as a way to make it more mature. I hate it when people say the colors make it childish. That's ridiculous, in my opinion.

  • 07.18.2009 11:03 AM PDT

Graphics in campaign are great already
Gun noises work fine


Halo 3 > Gears 2, people seem to be constantly forgetting this and trying to downgrade Halo

  • 07.18.2009 11:03 AM PDT

It's cherry, tastes like strawberry, looks like watermelon, and you think it's raspberry just because.

No...just no. How about just keeping it at the level of gore it already has. When fighting the flood, green blood flies out and you can blow them to pieces, and when fighting anybody else, blood flies out. I don't see the big deal about all the blood and gore. All it's there for is to shock people for about 3 kills or less, and then it's just like, "Oh look, I blew someone's head/arm/leg off." And really, to blow a Spartan apart, you would need to shoot them like 3 times with a rocket launcher, on one body part. Also, the whole blood streaming from wounds thing, that wouldn't happen in the Halo Universe unless the suit ran out of the automatically administered temporary medical treatment supplies.

IMO, just make it like Halo: CE. That game was beast.
