it should be more like that makes it more realistic since you should have air support and call in a lobster fighter to carpet bomb the area

Yea, thats what I mean. That would be sweet.

Serg is all about changing Halo, I on the other hand would rather keep it very similar and tweak out little problems, adding only the best and most well thought out ideas. Halo's all about balance, and a bombing run isn't balanced. It seems it would bring an unwanted chaotic feel to the game - which I, like many others, wouldn't enjoy.

I'd like to thank Daniella, my special friend, and all the people at my first group, ODSTR. May the said group dominate BUNGIE Again!

You'd have to be careful to not kill any friendlies if you use a bombing run in any game.

So. if you are doing well, you get an extra advantage to ensure you win?

...And this works on indoor maps how?

  • 08.28.2009 12:37 PM PDT

Ugh...

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

You said it yourself, "THAT'S COD!!!". If it is Call of Duty, then why does Halo need to copy it?

I kinda think Halo is lacking the chaotic feel that a real war for human survival demands. If we're fighting for our lives, shouldn't it be chaotic?

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

Instead of basing a bombing run or a MAC blast or reinforcements on kill streaks, I would rather have it based on completing an objective.

Such as on blood gulch you invade the opposing base and activate a beacon and would allow a bombing run.

This would require more teamwork and not reward one team for just having a great killer.

more games need to feel more realistic this is the new era of gaming with the 360 you can do more then you could ever do with the orginal xbox. So i don't see why halo dosen't join other games that seem realistic with air support, even gears of war does this in a way with the king ravens taking out a building with locusts in it.

Actually, I would love a map where you hear a giant Air Raid Siren, then suddenly, the area starts to get glassed; Then the map would expand at the other end, reveling more play area. So in other words, the map would constantly change, and it would fit the theme of Halo: Reach.

Well, what is "realistic" about Gears of War, or Halo? Halo is set up 500 years in the future, there are genetically modified super soldiers fighting against aliens. What is realistic about that?

Call of Duty is you are a human in today's time, or in World War 2, and you are fighting against other humans. Where one bullet in the head kills a man. No shields or anything, and there is a range of weapons you can use.

Although the story is fictitious, the game is meant to be a real war simulator.

Halo is meant to be a Multi-player Death match game. Meaning it shouldn't take 1 bullet to kill your enemy, your health recharges for balancing purposes, and you shouldn't be able to have airstrikes, why? Well because airstrikes are extremely unbalanced.

Okay i guess i must say this when i say realistic i think about having support like in real life when you call a strike on a structure . I think about the ablity to call in reinforcments and seeing wounds from a shot. Yes it's a future game but it still can feel realistic like real life with few exceptions like sheilds and droping down from space.

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"

No. IF bungie ever even CONSIDERED any kind of reinforcement attacks, I would say keep it canon wise, and keep it not too powerful (unless used really well)

Human: MAC cannon shot on specified spot in the map.

Covenant: Glass blast. Same as MAC shot, but covenant version.


If you hit a spot where your team is turtlenecked with the other team, it could greatly help out. (of course, betrayals would have to be enabled..)

still, that is IF. IMO though, keep airstrikes n such out of halo.

Because Halo =/= Gears of Duty.
Halo is a classic shooter, you don't aim down the sights with the guns and you don't blow someone's arm off. You simply point, and shoot.

You don't select what weapon to spawn with, you simply get handed a weapon at spawn and kill people with it.
You don't select what class you are so you can run faster, have more health, the ability so heal other players, etc.
And you most definitely don't have AI's helping your team out.

That's not Halo in the least bit. I want to play a Halo game, not Gears of Halo Futuristic Warfare 2.

WAT?

but seriously, Halo doesn't need bombing runs, whether from a LONGSWORD or shortsword or anything else. They'd just not fit with how the game's meant to be played, and seeing as halo maps are built to be a mix of indoor & outdoor environments, I can't see them being particularly useful anywhere except sandtrap anyway - and even then, you'll never have enough enemies grouped together to make it worthwhile.

If I was in a room with justin Bieber, Bin Laden, Hitler and a gun with two bullets I would Shoot Bieber twice.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

you sir are wrong that is not call of duty crap that is unreal tournament 1999 stuff when you called in Skarrj bombers with the gun hey had and when the bomber got there it would just drop bombs in a strait line......ALSO Bombing Run is the name of a gametype in ut2003-2k4.

Its much more epic to do the bombing run yourself in a Banshee than to rely on some silly abillity that rewards you for being ahead in a match and it helps you get even more ahead?
