Subject: Airstrikes in Halo: Reach?

Posted by: Duardo
I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

How about scripted airstrikes in campaign like in this video?

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.

The Halo 2 demo level from E3 showed Longswords making an airstrike on a Covenant Anti-Air battery. But that was all just an in-game cinematic basically, it would be interesting if we SAW this happen, but not if we MADE it happen.

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.”

Exactly. Have these elements as scripted events in game. like every 3 minutes, the hill on Valhalla gets hit by a mac blast.

I don't think that is exactly the best way to implement these strikes. They would be better off killing players who leave the map's barriers. Like I said before though, non-player controlled IS the way to go.

Call of Duty implements these airstrikes, but at high levels of a spree, so you have to earn them. Perhaps airstrikes can be an item on the battlefield that either team can grab, but does not spawn at the start and has an extremely long respawn time.

Personally, I would treat it as a weapon, so you would have to sacrifice something to take it.


Thats pretty much exactly what I said, only no respawning.
