The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Are you sick of the same old explosion the phantom has in H3? And are you also getting tired of
the way the parts land? If you are then come up with your own different explosion and how it would land.
Example:The Phantom starts to shrink in and then explode like the slip space rupture but really smaller. Then tiny bits of the phantom sprinkling everywhere.

Oh and every phantom was different so it wasn't the same over and over again.

I'd love it if the Phantom loses power, and starts to fall after the gravity engines fail. Then, it spirals out of control, and crashes into the ground, killing or destroying everything in its path.

That I'd like to see.

Hey Guys.

You do know that a Phantom is the Small Covenant ship which carries Infantry. Not the MASSIVE Covenant Carriers which went through the slipspace rupture.

I like Halo games, nuff said.

I think the only change should be that the peices are heavier so you can't easily move them. Like by walking through them.....

Won't work as something blowing up a Phantom will not cause a Reaction like that.

Also I doubt they would change the Explosion and they can't make it that good as its still the same engine and it will only work for a Cut-scene not in game due to Frames Per Second.

I'd be more satisfied with destroying a Phantom if the explosion was a bit bigger.

I'm actually fine with what we have so far. Though I like the spiraling out of control one.

you can move them by walking in to them cos your the master cheif a spartan with superhuman strength so its not supid also covenant vehivcles are made of flimsier material


You can't move it because of that.

Even a Spartan isn't capable of that. Bungie just didn't program its heaviness.

MegaHaxPwnage

I would like to see a kind of crash land, like the pelican on the Sierra 117

  • 08.14.2009 7:55 AM PDT

I love you stosh.

And actually Mickey, the Engine doesn't matter. They could change the animation.
The engine doesn't make explosions the animators do. So yes they could have a flashier explosion.

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.

When the Phantom explodes, i would like to see a mini-nuke explosion like from the Heavy Weapons in Mass Effect 2.

I love the idea but once it hits the ground it should explode after a few seconds of burning.
That would be cool.

僕を判断しないでください。

small explosions up the middle splitting it in half. then the 2 sides fall down and crush anything under them. then, 2 much larger explosions.

while i do enjoy how they explode now, the spiraling crash of death one is pretty good.
