Subject: Halo Fallout 3 hybrid (your thoughts)

Its a trap!!!

Before commenting I realize this wont be Halo reach. I read the books but this is a good idea for a future halo game.

The battlefield idea is interesting but I also think a Halo/Fallout like game would be great. Unlike fallout it will control like Halo 3. Because even though VATS in fallout was cool the shooting system was crappy overall.

So not to change button setup this game could use the Dpad and Start button for the extra options it would have over regular Halo games like start brings up the item/status screens. This game could take advantage of a class system through leveling like in Oblivion. So you could make your guy be a marksman, a heavy weapons expert, or a melee expert. A melee class for example can incorporate some stealth skills into battle like Halo 2s arbiters 10 second cloak to make melee strikes more viable or a temporary overshield and juggernaught your way through.

And for all you vehicle lovers a vehicle class will be made. Anyone can drive a mongoose but to drive better vehicles you need some skill. This will incorporate all Halo 3 vehicles and perhaps the Scarab can be included some how or the Anti Air wraiths. Also for the first time incorporate Halo wars vehicles in Fps. Ever wanted to disable other vehicles with an emp burst with the Gremlin? Punish other vehicles with the Cobra. Clear the air with a Wolverine. Be the ultimate force with the Grizzley. Rule the air with a hawk. Or just bash the enemies base down with a Locust. Rememeber some well set explosives, Spartan Lasers, Rockets and misslepods can take you out but so can it in regular Halo =)

Eventauly if you want to learn stuff in another class you would have to level more and eventually go beyond the class you started to make leveling more strategic. Like if i become a marksman I can't use as many heavy weapons right away and wont be as skilled as them. Like anyone can carry a magnum but the most skilled marksman can upgrade to the M6D Halo 1 pistol

This would be the games basic story. Covenant and Humans are fighting over some forerunner world when some kinda of tractor beam pulls them to a free fall on the planet. Humans and covenant fight for a while on the planent but later make a truce, but mysteriously can't find a way off the planent. Complex forerunner tech keeps any makeshift vessel created from entering orbit.

So basically this story could take place a couple hundred years after these events. So you could see how the population of Humans, Elites, Brutes, Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, Engineers, Drones all coexist on this world. Spartans are just a whisper after all of these years but perhaps there are some working behind the sences. Perhaps if you choose to be a human you can become an ODST and then go to a certain secret lab on the planent and undergo the Spartan 2 experiment to become one yourself.

Multiplayer for campaign can run up to a full party of friends to take on the campaign missions. I mean warthoging with your friend is always better then a computer AI doing it instead

Regular multiplayer could go two ways. It could retain the leveled up character and transfer every stat like endurance, strength and etc and the game can play more like WoW in that sense.

Or in the interest of staying a bit more balanced only what weapons you can use will be transfered over from campaign to multy. So even though a level 100 can use a lot more weapons and items then a level 1 he will still have the same shields and health as a level 1. So that way a pays play campaign and become more adept but people who play less dont have to feel completly overpowered and have a chance.

So this Halo would have more weapons, more vehicles, complex conversation and choices, a whole imersive world ready at your fingertips

Beware the smiley face! =D

Thats an alright idea actually.

Although, since Halo 2 and 3 put Halo on the map, the audience for Halo has got wider. And unfortunatly quite a few people who play Halo now are just whiners with no patience and no ability to complete a game with a story mode play time longer than 10 hours.

Opinion: Fallout 3 is the biggest bag of crap that ever existed.

Fixed. If F3 sucks so bad why did it wwin GOTY and it has 5 DLC's that soon to be released onto disks along with the the GOTY. Your "statement" is merely your own opinion. So if you have nothing to contribute to the topic then please leave.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, did you ever see the screenshots of the MMORPG Halo that was canceled? It wouldn't work out. Plus very few people would purchase it and it would make many fans turn away from the Halo series with disappointment.

This idea makes as much sense as classes in Halo.

Hmmm the problem is they are Spartans. Spartans don't need to learn melee skills or weapon skills to use heavy/specialist weapons.

Aren't you mature? I can see you getting really far in life with an attitude like that.

But if you read everything I wrote then you would basically start out as a normal guy. Then you would have a quest that you could get augmentations to become a Spartan. If you read the books to physicaly become a spartan aside from training since 6 years old is to get several injections of serums to make you a superhuman.


like i said this is hundreds of years in the future with no contact from the outside universe spartans in this era would be very different in terms of how they are created. Also their personalities and agendas would be different too.

Perhaps in this game you think the main villian is some sorta prophet but in the end you realize the last prophet died years ago and some lunatic spartan is pulling the strings

You mean opinion. I personally think it's a great game, full of choice and twists.

also imagine in this game how crazy rampant AIs can get since they can go crazy after their 7 years of predicted sanity

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

You like Fallout 3, PLAY FALLOUT 3!!!

Let's not play Halo dress up with all the games we like, okay?

I meant moral choices : Destroy Megaton or disarm the bomb? Infect Project Purity with the FEV virus or leave it? Bombard the Enclave Mobile platform or the Citadel? Rescue slaves or enslave free people?

Look Caboose, is all you can say how your ideas are great and everyone else's suck?
I like this idea, being a fan of Oblivion, but would a prequel be better, so you become a Spartan at the end?

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

I enjoyed Fallout 3, and truthfully, if they ever did make a Halo game similar to the 'freeroam' capabilities of fallout (maybe ODST will be sort of like it) I would absolutely LOVE it.

  • 08.07.2009 1:17 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

This would not be welcomed by me.

  • 08.07.2009 1:30 PM PDT

GRUNTS ARE PEOPOLE TOO!!!

it would be awesome if you could change the ending of reach

To be honest thats really a choice of "Am I going to be an evil jerk for fun?" or "Am I going for the good alignment achievement?"

Real moral choices are like in Mass Effect, where its "Should I sacrifice Kaidan or Ashley since I can't save them both?" None of this "Should I be good or evil" blandness. And even then, I bet most people kill Kaidan just because Tech Biotics suck.

Well I am sure not everyone would like it but I would like to keep all the movement and combat controls the same. So the only thing that this version of halo would have is more diversity in game play. Sure it will complex things and your average 5 year old will have a lot more trouble beating it

But i am all for a more complex story and npc interaction while keeping the spirit of the control and feel of it the same

thats what got me into Halo, the movement. Every other shooter I played the X and Y axis doesnt feel as smooth. I love playing Bio Shock but try moving both analogs and can you tell me honestly does it feel as smooth as Halo's?

Anyway Fallout 3 had some moral choices ... but they were just not as good as in Mass Effect you could sometimes too easy tell which one is the bad and which one is the good

Like that FEV virus at the end, everybody knew it was the evil way, even if Eden told you it had good aspects with it.

The only one where it wasnt that easy was in Oasis.
