I have bought and finished Halo Wars and have really enjoyed the cutscenes, the one from the penultimate level with the three spartans aginst a while bunch of elites is just amazing (the game itself is OK). One of the really good features of this game is to watch the in game cutsecenes back to back like a movie.

This got me thinking, what i would really love is for Bungie to release a DVD with all the cutsences from their games put into order like a movie. I am not asking for them to be enhanced or redone just that they are put together like a movie.

I have always enjoyed the cutscenes the music is superb, the voice acting spot on and the whole package is alway professional and entertaining. But i don't want to play through each individual game to watch them again, I realise that certain video websites have the ability to watch all the cutscenes together but i want to see it on my big screenTV with DTS sound.

Anyway i would just love to have this included with the Reach Special Edition or even as a stand alone DVD.

What does the community think?

Yes, it was a DVD called Halo 3 Essentials and it came packed with Halo 3's Legendary Edition. Look around on Ebay you can find some for a good price. I got mine for $50 and it was still in it's shrink wrap.

Edit - I am not sure what Bungie could give us which would match up with the epic and glorious Spartan helmet. I'm looking forward to hearing ideas. I'll come back and add more later if I think of anything.

(Off subject) I sure hope Bungie and Microsoft release another a Halo Reach special edition 360. I don't want to buy a used Halo 3 Edition 360 and I have yet to find a decent deal on a new one.

never back down even if you know you're about to get your butt kicked

im not much for cutscenes but somethin i would love to see is some new power weapons in reach. i still like the ones in halo 3 but honestly its getting boring i mean although the machine gun turret is effective it is WAY! too easy to get killed w\ it. the plasma turret is the same way but it is even easier to get killed w\ it because plasma travels slower than bullets. the flamethrower is the crappiest noob weapon ever made (no affense bungie but it does suck) just look at it. u move just as slow as you do with the m.g. turret, but it's worse because u can actually kill ur self w\ this piece of crap.all it does is shoot fire, and it can overheat, and if ur dumb enough to actually walk through the fire u will die too. the missle pod is pretty useless too unless ur fighting a guy thats really good in a banshee or hornet. i think u get what im saying im not asking for much just that we some new power weapons, or that we get some major improvements to the ones we already have.

also r we gonna have the br in reach?

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!

I AGREE.

It would be nice if it could fit on the game disk so you could watch all of the cinematics from Halo Wars, Halo Reach, Halo 1, Halo 2/Halo 3: ODST (mixed depending on what time they take place), and Halo 3, from start to finish, in chronological order of when they happened in the Halo timeline.

Main menu:

Campaign
Firefight
Matchmaking
Custom Games
Forge
Theater
Cinema -- click this and you get to select which cutscene you want to watch, and you could set it to play through them all after the one you select.
Bestiarum -- a 3d interactive view of all species in Halo REACH (possibly with no armor on), you can rotate around them in all directions. Sub-options include going through and viewing all ranks of them, with their unique armors and a brief description of what they are like. Unlock more ranks for viewing by killing one in campaign. You can click buttons to make them do certain things (i.e. A makes them jump, B makes them melee, Left Thumbstick makes them crouch, Right Thumbstick may give them a taunt [Grunt dance?], etc.)
Armoury -- shows us a 3d view of all weapons which appear in Halo REACH, as well as a brief description. You can click buttons to make it shoot (i.e. pull R trigger and it fires).
Motor Pool -- like the armoury, only you view vehicles.

I know its been said already in this thread but here goes!

Director Commentary Cutscenes For Halo 3/ODST/Reach (possibly Halo wars)

on one disk together with the Halo:CE and halo 2 commentaries that are on the halo 3 Legendary Edition.


Another idea I had but i don't think will happen is a 'simulator' style minigame.
- Pick the Enemies
- Pick the number of Enemies
- Pick Enemy Upgrades (Overshield, Invisibility, Increased health/shield/damage)
- Choose weapons/ammo availiable for your own use
- Choose Map
--Play--

Personally I think that will be great fun and increase playability and help players with tactics agaisnt mass waves of enemies, 20 Hunters Vs. You!

I want a working, real to life scale sized Marathon Class Starship.

All for the low price of $400,000,000,060.

throwning snowballs at cars is like doing a bell ditch. The end result is basically the same: sprinting away from the large man exiting his car who yells profanities, hiding behind a house, and watching as his car patrols the street, waiting to murder you.

Asking the flood for dating advice is like you going up to a bunch of starving Africans and debating the pros and cons of the bacon roll vs the double cheeseburger.

Some one who stands for nothing shall fall for everything.

Thats a really good idea. I like the concept of that. Bungie could also throw in extra and deleted cutscenes to help fiil in back story and it wouldnt hurt for them to redo the old ones either. Damn that would be sex

All this + developer Commentary on all Halo game cutscenes, as someone else mentioned. Maybe some little interviews on the Voice actors of the characters, to give their take on the character they play (included in the 'Making Of' documentary). I'd also love to see some mini documentary's on each Covenant species, showing their homeworld (using in-game engine).

In terms of a physical item that comes with the game - I'd like a miniature model of the squad (of Spartans?) that you play with during the game, you know striking some cool poses (like the banner)

Whoever mentioned the Reach-branded 360... ME TOO!! (150GB HDD, with a redish, golden paintjob similar to the style of the Reach banner, with a matching pad of course: Pack it in with Natal and I'd buy it)

Step up Bungie you've got some more work ahead of you ;)
