Subject: Do you believe Halo Reach should have a seperate Covenant storyline?

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

I think that Halo Reach could have a seperate Covenant storyline, quite like the Arbiter storyline in Halo 2. I know not much is known about the new game releasing next year ( except maybe that the trailer realeased at this years E3 implied that it was before Master Chief was the last Spartan). I don'y exactly know how it would go but if it were to be put in to Reach i know Bungie would make it extraordinary. If you make a "rude" reply about this I really couldn't care less because this is my honest opinion.

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"

I rather enjoyed the inclusion of the Arbiters storyline for Halo2, I just didn't like that fact that they seemed to cut both storylines needlessly short. If they were to do something like this for Reach, and keep both stories strong and well fleshed out I think it would be awesome.

Yeah they did cut Halo 2's covenant storyline short...but maybe they didn't want kind of a rambling storyline. Because if they rambled on like that the fans might've been dissapointed with Halo 2.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

It would make sense, and I would enjoy it alot.

That might be interesting but thats just not for me.Maybe the recruityment of the Brutes but...well i guess it would be cool to play as a hunter though....anyway, that might be a little too much.

You should have to beat both the Covenant AND UNSC campaign before you beat the game. Thats if they are separate, if they were together, like Halo 2, I would like that alot too, either way would be great.

Yeah that would be pretty cool if it was a DLC. btu when it was part of the storyline in Halo 2 it was pretty cool

Yea, 90% of the time, when a single grunt dies, I would restart my checkpoint, those little guys are awsome.

Anyway, bring back the playable covenant!

I like to derp and stuff. I have a YouTube channel~

Derp

I'd really love it. but I said maybe just because it depends on well they execute it. If it's anything like Halo 2's inclusion, it'll be amazing. I don't like how Halo 3's storyline was lacking the alien counterpart. I'm going to look forward to the story regardless

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Not really. I want to see a full story through a new Spartan's point of view, happening at the same time as Fred's POV as told in the novel REACH will be partly based off of (First Strike). Having two campaigns would only give us half the time to see a Spartan story (as well as half the time to see a Covenant one). I would like all opening level and closing level cinematics to start with a UNSC side and end with a Covenant side (like here).

Imagine a "Firefight" type game-mode called "The Grunt Rebellion" where you play elites and go against wave after wave of Grunts who increase in number and strength.

Well they could have a possibility that it would be a DLC. Always have an idea that somethings could be a DLC beacause you'll never really know until they release the news about it.

Ok now that would be pretty sweet...

-The Big Boss-

this post is definitely the most non-retarted idea out of all the ideas in the foums. This idea is great and I would -blam!- love to see a seperate storyline.

  • 08.04.2009 8:40 PM PDT

I think if it does have another storyline, it should be completely separate from the UNSC one. Not all, "Yay, I get to play as Chief... wait a minute... who the hell is that?" It should be, I beat the UNSC campaign, now move on to the Covenant campaign. And I don't want any bull-blam!- where it is "Hey, I saw that guy in the UNSC campaign. He was my friend... now I have to kill him?" I want it on completely different areas of Reach, so no overlapping storylines.

  • 08.04.2009 8:45 PM PDT

Beware the smiley face! =D

Yes.

  • 08.04.2009 10:52 PM PDT

M.A.W
